Out of all my fictional character crushes, the Joker is the strongest one and the one that has lasted the longest for me. And out of all of them, the Dark Knight Joker is my favorite.
So many things draw me to him. The Joker has so many interesting ideas, I like learning about the tragic backstories/experiences (which may or may not be true) and I find a bit of relatability in some of the stories, he's pretty funny sometimes which I find enjoyable, he's very physically attractive to me too…, I like the eccentric outfit choice, I love the sound of his voice, I like the knives & playing cards, and I like the green hair. I also find it both interesting & inspiring that he can still think so well (fluency of thought) and get so much done despite how many mental health issues (trauma-induced disorders, personality disorders, mood disorders, and maybe even psychotic disorders.) he likely has, and he's really ambitious & doesn't give up easily no matter how bad it gets for him and I admire that as well. Quite a few versions of the Joker have an interest in art & chemistry and they were my favorite subjects in addition to psychology, so we’d maybe have common interests as well.
