What kind of criminal network was/is Slipstick running?

"Spoilers" is an evil word. NOW I NEED TO KNNNNOOOOOOOOOW.

Jokers by Current Happiness:

Listed from happiest to least happy.

I added another data point to each entry - phase, at the end. I can re-explain phases if somebody wants, but I'm pretty sure I've explained them somewhere on this forum before, so anyone who digs up a link will receive cozy imaginary blankets of internet affection.

Asterisks* in this list denote access to a large group of other Jokers, which as you can see has a significant effect on happiness.

I note that Kas ranks below Ruin, who is currently being nonconsensually tortured, and Fire, who is currently the property of a physically abusive rapist.

Some Jokers omitted because I couldn't get a clear "now" for them.

Rolan probably only ranks that high because it's been a while since I have seen any of the pealed Jokers being as happy as he is onscreen. But he's also just a really happy Joker.

Apparently the thing that makes Jokers the happiest in all the world is being a god.

I sorted her based on the network she ran before she abandoned her original world to move to Origin. It was basically standard Moriarty, except she was also angling to marry an Obadiah Stane.

Welp.

:)

Thank you for indulging me!

PS: I made a super weird typo in that joker happiness list post. The extra column in the happy list is phase, not cluster. Cluster was already there.

-kappa in bed

Celo is a god but not near the top of the list. But living in Materia stinks, so.

Celo is not the kind of god I meant.

Clarifying now that I'm out of bed and can type more fluently:

Teah spends pretty much his every moment granting people's wishes and prayers directly, and has a nearly unlimited capacity to do that. If it weren't for the fact that he's too disconnected from his body to really be content, and he can't be connected to his body and granting prayers at the same time, he would be Happiest Joker.

Ealasiva's partner is going to be a Door-style god, which means he gets to have a body and do active godding. Merely having the nature of a divine entity isn't the relevant characteristic at all; the Joker, who regularly uses/hands out wishcoins to solve problems or give presents, is closer to being a "god" in the critical sense than Celo is.

Hmmmm.

Jokers by skill at picking locks.
Jokers by destructive power of the best explosive device they've ever made.
Jokers by elaborateness of the most elaborate clothing item they've ever made.
Jokers by elaborateness of the most elaborate food item they've ever made.

Ooh. XD

Jokers by Explosive Power:

Listed in increasing order. Direct destructive power (i.e. Brilliance) is included, because they like it better that way, but Teah doesn't top the list because although he could cause nearly arbitrary destruction he hasn't ever done it.

This turns into two surprisingly short lists:

Has set things on fire or has the direct capacity to set things on fire, not as part of some other all-purpose magic:
Mercy
Joy
Victor
Corona
Felicity
Winter
Jellybean
Kas
Feral
Furnace

Has blown things up or has the direct capacity to blow things up etc.:
Lalita
Surprise
Joker
Cindy
Queenie
Ghosty
Sue/War
Brilliance

The first list would obviously be a lot longer if I included, like, matches/torches/candles, but I went for substantial things. Rankings may be approximate in some cases.
