➸ viva la vida (arthur fleck x oc) ✅

arthur fleck can honestly say he's never had a friend. but he has a purpose- his journey to becoming a stand-up comedian, and his dream of making people happy. he dresses as a clown and spins signs for stores, and lives with his mother, and goes to see his therapist, and takes seven different medications. his life is hardly worth living, and it seems like everyone thinks it, too. oh, and all the laughing outbursts don't help.

life is never kind to mars carson for long. abandoned by both parents, he's survived foster homes, gone to public school (and dropped out twice), and just tries to mind his business. now, he plays the piano and sings in clubs, and goes to his local record shop in his spare time. but just when he thinks he's finally out of the woods, he sits next to a sad man on the bus and, in helping him, he might just hold the future of gotham city in his hands.

or, the story of two dorks in love, laughter, and what happens when society ignores the poor and downtrodden for too long.
