THIS dynamic

[asoftermeme]

( surprisingly gentle )

Because is there anything better than a dangerous, potentially deadly stoic whose one weakness is their sweet, harmless object of affection? Especially if the latter has the former wrapped around their finger, knowingly or otherwise. To avoid tl;dr - suddenly, a wild weakness approaches! Their attempt to turn you into a puddle of goo at the knees, whether purposeful or not, is very effective. This meme is pretty shamelessly for fluff of the gen or shipping variety, opening up, dokis, and also more dokis. Respond with your character, preferences, what role you'd like to play if it matters, and any other info. Then, respond to others.

[ Definitely not the stoic one - m/f for shipping, but always here for platonic cr and situations! Text or action both a-okay. ]

[ Leaning more towards her being the stoic one, but I'm open to shaking it up! Platonic cr is also very welcome. ]

[Absolutely the 'weakness' rather than the stoic character, anyone for platonic interactions but m/m only for shipping]

The cute chaos clown is here to steal your heart.
(m/m for shipping)

Canon mates or cross canon both welcome ♥

I have no idea what I'm doing hiiiii~

[pathofvigilante]

Ssssooo...

I hear you like clown stuff?

I'm here for it!

[freaky_froggy]

Only more than anything.

I wanted to be a clown since I was four years old.
Juggling is objectively cool.

[pathofvigilante]

Your aesthetic really nails the theme!

Whoa, since you were a kid, huh? That's devotion! I can't even... remember that far back
And it is, right?! And actually way easier than throwing knives!

[ John glances back and forth as he reaches into his inner vest pocket, like he's grabbing something illicit. It's just a few balls-- okay actually they're smoke bombs. But he's not setting them off! They're also bright purple with neon green grins drawn on, and x's for eyes. ]

Think fast! And don't touch the eyes! [ With a manic string of giggles, here comes those 'balls', Fitz! ]

[freaky_froggy]

[Fizz's reflexes are impressive, he grabs the objects as they're tossed to him and there's no pause or hesitation before they're up in the air and looping their way in neat, high arcs between being tossed from hand to hand.]

Why? What happens if I touch the eyes? Should I be nervous?

[Whilst still juggling and not missing a beat he pulls a string of brightly colored handkerchiefs from an inside pocket and dabs at his brow like he's sweating from the anxiety of it.]

[pathofvigilante]

[ John appreciates the showman ship! His eyes go owlish-wide before a wild grin splits across his face and he applauds, giggles tapering into quieter chuckles that leak through his bare teeth. ]

No, no! Don't worry, those are just smoke bombs. They'll go off if you touch the eyes. I figured it might be kind of rude to test your skills with the actual bombs.

[ His eyes follow the smooth high arcs of every throw and his fingers twitch, like he's getting antsy. ]

Hey, stop hogging all the fun, would ya? Throw them to me! [ he's something of a homicidal clown too, after all. ]

[freaky_froggy]

Heh, thanks. Appreciate it.

[While he's perhaps a little weirded out he's not exactly upset. He's pretty used to being put in dangerous situations for other people's entertainment, in fact it's all he's really known.]

Okay, coming in hot...

[He can't help wanting to show off when it comes to the company of other clowns and clown enthusiasts, so he spins to a cartwheel, still juggling, and tosses the smoke bombs to John one at a time between each wheel.]

[pathofvigilante]

Sure, sure! Blowing up a new friend would be a waste of good explosives in my book...

[ A few devious little snickers, as John readies himself for the throw. He's fairly acrobatic, but he can't do anything as intricate as cartwheels and juggling at once. The move is an instant crowd pleaser.]

Holy JEEZ! That's amazing!! Incredible! Fantastic!!

[ He's having a good time. He would grab for his phone and start snapping pictures, if he didn't need both hands to catch and throw. While he's no where near as good as the other clown, he manages to catch the smoke bombs, toss them into the air a couple times, and lob them back towards his new buddy without even a blink. ]

You gotta teach me that! Er, assuming it's not a trademarked secret or something!

[ Hello hi you may be getting a new fanboy here. ]

[freaky_froggy]

[Fizz rights himself and returns to much more standard juggling as he's given control of the 'balls' again. He does spare a moment to give a little bow, smiling.
Fizz is a people pleaser, nothing makes him happier than smiles and praise.]

Nah, no secret. Honestly, it's just a lot of practice. I grew up in the circus so I started early, I've been clowning full time for, like, twenty five years. I rehearse six hours a day at least. You can crack most things with enough time.

[He's a workaholic and, when it comes to his craft, a perfectionist.
He slows his juggling, still careful not to touch the eyes on the smoke bombs, and then moves closer to hand them back.]

I'm Fizzarolli. Call me Fizz.

Quasimodo | Hunchback of Notre Dame/Notre Dame de Paris | OTA

[sonneur_de_cloches]

[[ooc: Thought of as a deformed monster by most in Paris, it couldn't be further from the truth. Quasimodo is actually quite gentle. Having been raised within the church of Notre Dame since infancy, he's been taught to read and write and has a quick intelligence. Made deaf by the great bells of the cathedral, the bell ringer is able to communicate and understand others with signs or by reading lips and observing others around him. However he is still able to speak quite well if coaxed from his habitual silence.

Voice testing! Cross-canon and OC friendly! Open to timey wimey shenanigans too since not everyone wants to RP in 1482 Paris. M/F for any possible shipping. Honestly anyone treating/touching him with kindness and understanding will be icing on his cake.]]
