#verbal reassurance that they are loved. someone who isn't able to read into actions and needs to hear it from their partner

honestly miscommunication in a story is only annoying if it's being used for lazy drama or to serve an idiot plot, like miscommunication on a personality/individuals level is sooo fascinating??? stuff like a misalignment of love languages or communication styles, & stuff like "I can't understand the thought processes behind your decisions bc on the most basic level we're so unalike and we come from such disparate backgrounds that what comes naturally to you would not even occur to me" is like 👌 to me

Arthur Fleck // WC: 900.

(Sorry I keep using this GIF!!! On the beta desktop post formats, there's no scroll for the GIF box so this is the only Arthur one which comes up.🥺💗)

You were born in Vietnam but you live in Australia; you've seen so much more of the world than Arthur has, for Gotham is all he has known, and so he's known for asking you oddball questions every now and then, wanting to live vicariously. He soaks up your answers, a sponge is he, and he likes to fall asleep with your fingers in his hair and your voice caressing him as surely as your hands. Arthur is very careful to make sure that your glasses are always somewhere safe and secure, preferably in a case and somewhere always within your reach. If he finds them somewhere he shouldn't, then he puts them away and makes sure to verbally remind you that he put them elsewhere so that you know where you can find them. He figures that because he wouldn't want his glasses to be left somewhere they shouldn't be, such as the very corner of a table, you wouldn't, either. They're expensive and though he doesn't touch what isn't his, Arthur can safely justify his actions in doing so in this situation. You have long black hair and you're roughly 5"2', so Arthur loves holding you. He can rest the sharp angles of his chin on the crown of your head, like royalty does he treat you, and simply enfold himself around you. It feels very much like he's keeping you safe, his arms the cage in which you are protected, though not are you trapped. No, with Arthur are you free. He loves you very much, and there's nothing he wouldn't do for you.

You tend to be really anxious and insecure, and Arthur can definitely relate to these things. His heart would bleed for you every time you confided in one another (and, honey, you were the slow burn to end all slow burns) and with every negative thing you said about yourself did Arthur give you a compliment which directly contradicted your harsh and untrue words. Additionally, you would do the same for Arthur. Sometimes the give and take dynamic of a relationship is unequal, but you and Arthur take as best care of each other as you're able to every day. Love is a choice, to put in that same effort every day, and waking up beside each other makes it easy to make that choice, which may sometimes be more conscious than other days. Arthur is always happy to reassure you and to be there for you, just as you're happy to be there for him, too. You're each other's strength and you both carry around pictures of one another. So often do either or both of you feel misunderstood, but with one another do you feel like you're with someone who gets it.

You are loyal, caring, loving and kind, and oh, how Arthur gravitates towards you like a moth to a flame. Gotham is a grey, cold and cruel place but you are like a ray of sunshine after a massive thunderstorm. You inspire Arthur just by being yourself, good hearts do you both have. You're kind to everyone and undoubtedly is this what caught Arthur's attention. It would have taken him a while to build up the courage to talk to you, but you're so caring that bit by bit did you coax Arthur out of his shell, and, oh, how brightly he shone near you, his one and only person who understood him. As Arthur's arc goes on and he falls into Joker (jumps, one could argue), he becomes more confident in who he is and he stops caring so much. Not about you, darling, but about the world and of what people think of him. As such, he's much more likely to stand up for you if someone was taking advantage of you and of your kindness, and he wouldn't let anyone hurt you. He's so proud of you and he'd set the world alight if only to see you smile. You have but to ask, dearheart.

You love helping others and giving advice, but Arthur doesn't want for you to burn yourself out, and he tries to help you to take better care of yourself, most especially if helping others hinders you in some kind of way. He admires you and your kindness so deeply and he can't help but to fall in love with you all over again whenever he sees you helping someone else. You enjoy being in others' presence and this is how you and Arthur bond in the very beginning; spending time together separately and just enjoying the quiet which comes with one another. You're just so full of love and Arthur adores you.

You have many hobbies and Arthur loves to watch you do them when he doesn't think you're looking at him (even if you're not, you can feel his gaze on you). You're creative and you love to watch TV; the evenings with you and Arthur are spent cuddled up together on the sofa and being quiet. You talk about your days and ask each other questions every now and then, but for the most part do you simply spend time together separately and basking in the other person's company. Time with you is Arthur's most favourite and when he isn't with you, he's thinking of you and yearning to get back to you, the absolute love of his life.
