Reading an issue of Harley Quinn right now where she gets tired of being herself and tries to just abandon her responsibilities, go somewhere else, and be unhinged for a while...but can't escape her conscience and ends up fighting fascists and the bourgeoisie all over again....ugh, stop being so relatable Harley!
The desire to just give up on everything and stop managing my mental health to just let myself go be unhinged and in my owb little world is strong. But I feel too much and know that the conacience that anchors me would pull me right on back. There's too much that's fucked up and needs doing in the world we live in right now. I'm tired but won't retreat, at least never for too long.
Thanks Nutbuckets for reminding me why i keep myself hinged for now ❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️

This is somewhat unfinished, Bernardo my daughter was a year old at the time and she really wanted Mama so I had to finish up before... finishing up. 😅

Wait, so both Deadpool and Harley Quinn are bi/pan, and they are both some of the only characters of their respective franchises that can engage in meta-commentary....is this a secret bi/pan stereotype? Does everyone believe we have the ability to engage in meta-commentary to an unseen audience and break the fourth wall on reality?!

If I ever win the lottery, I'm using the money to bankroll a sequel to Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn that would also be written by Christina Hodson and directed by Cathy Yan where she finally gets to fall in love with Poison Ivy. Heck, maybe James Gunn can help, because his suicide squad did great by her.
Hot take: Batman is kinda boring and doesn't really feel like a person as a character.
Was reading "Batman: Fear State" last night because it contains a big chunk of Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy reuniting in the current Harley Quinn comics and something struck me. And there are soooo many compelling storylines and characters in addition to Harley and Ivy, like the Gardener, Miracle Molly, Ghostmaker, and Scarecrow. Heck, even villains like Simon Saint and Peacekeeper 01 seem to have motivations and thoughts that make sense.
But Batman? He's almost more like a mouthpiece and plot device, or a force of nature. His decisions and motivations don't seem to flow naturally or to have personality - they're more like talking points of a specific set of ideals or whoever the writer needs him to be.
This is, of course, different with each writer I'm sure. But I've gotten so used to Harley, who is mostly personality, and the feel is so different.
I love that many of the writers and illustrators of Harley Quinn comics really get the character and lean hard into the ADHD chaos and "mentally ill but working on her shit and caring about people" ethos of the character
