a jester is a clown who is under threat of being executed by the head of state at any moment

Jesters jest. It’s in their name. They’re performers who act with a verb. Clowns? Their name is the verb, they are their act and their act is stupidity. Compared to a jester, a clown is a 2D drawing. A micro-organism. Zero
clowns have had their vocation basically assassinated by the horror genre, they really need a relaunch
preferably out of a big cannon or something
jesters usually wear hats while clowns usually wear funny wigs. there are some clowns that wear hats but i think that is more as a sign of respect to the jesters that paved the way for their profession in the modern age
(no) I don’t wanna see you blunder, and (no) I don’t wanna hear your rhymes
Jesters work for the government. Jesters are the narcs of the clown world
a clown works for delighted or terrified children while the jester works to keep the king from cutting off his head

Jesters have Jester's Privilege. A clown can be legally killed at any time, and can kill in turn.
