Tumblr media
whenever  he  gets  beaten  up,  it’s  almost  ALWAYS  unnecessarily.  like  i’m  not  gonna  be  that  person  and  say  he  SHOULD  NEVER  GET  BEATEN  UP  BECAUSE  HE’S  MAH  FAV!!!1!!  ‘cos  no.  in  fact,  my  fav  comics  are  ones  where  he  ends  up  getting  defeated,  and  back  in  ark  (  see  detective  comics  annual  #8  and  bman  chronicles  #3.  ) because  again  -  he’s  a  tragic  character.  but  the  thing  is,  i  want  him  to  get  beaten  up  for  a  meaningful  reason,  for  something  to  add  to  the  story  that’s  being  told.  not  just  “haha  look  at  how  LAME  this  villain  is”  or  “look  at  how  COOL  harley/catwoman/batman/joker is!”  and  yea,  usually  when  he  gets  beaten  up  -  it’s  because  he’s  just  an  Expendable,  and  they  wanted  to  show  how  Cool  or  Scary  an  antagonist  is.  or  because  he  said  something  Smartassish,  so  they  have  a  character  punch  him  for  Quirky  Humor  ( believe  waylon  has  done  this  once  when  ed  made  a  lil  rude  joke )
i  think  the  reason  they  do  this  is  because  -  even  though  they  know  damn  well  eddie  can  have  depth,  and  be  a  superb  character  ( after  all,  there  ARE  very  good  comics  about  him  when  handed  to  competent  writers  who  care )  is  that  they  know  the  general  fandom  doesn’t  care  about  him.  and  dc  is  so  corporate,  that  why  even  bother  with  a  character  if  he’s  not  making  us  Big  Bucks ?  yes,  they  could  fill  out  his  potential  and  maybe  people  will  start  loving  him.  but  why  bother  when  harley  quinn,  joker,  or  batman  himself  are  already  making  money  ?   they  don’t  need  other  characters  when  these  ones  are  doing  a  wonderful  job  already.  and  so,  they  can  also  elevate  the  Badassery  of  these  characters  by  making  them  beat  down  on  ones  like  eddie  -  because  they  know  fans  won’t  care.
i  think  what  makes  me  even  madder  than  when  characters  just  beat  up  eddie  for  No  Actual  Reason  is  when  they  outriddle  him.  recently,  in  the  last  few  years,  both  the  clowns  (harley  and  joker)  managed  to  do  this.  and  it  made  me  the  most  furious,  to  the  point  where  i  wanted  to  just  Quit  new  comics  in  general.  like  say  what  you  want  about  harley  or  joker  -  that,  oh,  eddie  just  couldn’t  solve  their  riddles  because  they’re  just  too  Waaaackyyyy and  not  even  HE  could  comprehend  them.  BS  excuse.  eddie  has  been  shown  to  be  so  good  at  riddles,  that  not  even  bruce  can  outriddle  him.  ( the  only  example  i  can  think  of  is  in  TAS,  and  eddie  wasn’t  really  given  a  riddle,  he  was  given a   mystery. )  eddie  has  been  shown  to  solve  riddles  before  they’re  even  TOLD.  people  have  DIED  because  bruce  refused  to  get  eddie’s  help  on  riddles  ( and  eddie’s  been  right. )  eddie’s  main  thing  are  riddles.  therefore,  nobody  should  outriddle  him.  as  i’ve  said  before,  i  don’t  expect  eddie  to  outclown  joker.  i  don’t  expect  him  to  be  a  better  psychiatrist  ( or  even  acrobat )  than  harley.  but  no.  they  had  these  characters  beat  eddie  at  his  own  game  because  they  wanted  to  show  how  Cool  they  are,  that  they’re  so  great,  they  can  even  be  better  ROGUES  than  the  other  rogues.  what  the  need  for  riddler,  or  scarecrow,  or  any  of  them  if  joker  and  harley  are  just  superior  to  them  in  every  way  ?
and  what  really  grinds  my  gears  is  the  fact  that  people  often  love  other  characters  for  traits  eddie  has.  like  when  a  screenrant  article  critiqued  eddie  for  being  “egotistical”  and  just  a  “foil”  to  bruce.  even  though,  you  can  literally  say  the  same  about  joker.  everyone  loving  the  joker  movie,  even  though  joker’s  story  /  backstory  in  it  is  VERY  similar  to  ed’s  stories  in  the  comics.  like  it’s  been  proven  people  love  aspects  of  eddie’s  characters  when  used  on  other  characters.  but  no,  dc  just  wants  to  keep  him  the  “”campy””  character  because  they  just  don’t  wanna  bother.  it  really  annoys  me.

Just deleted 2 of my rp blogs and a one that i was about to start but figured it's pointless to even try. Was going to delete my harley but someone IMed me just before i was about to. I'm still considering it though, but i'm just really upset right now i'm crying and my chest hurts. I'm just so fed up with tumblr shit. Rping used to be fun for me, but getting on here made it more emotionally damaging, from people who don't even give your OC the time of day or are unnecessarily rude, to people who pretend to be your friend and then dump your ass when they get more people to rp with and what feels like the straw that broke the camel's back is the person i've idolized on this site as an amazing writer since i first made my account, who i've been trying to rp with cause i love their work finally gives one of my blogs the time of day and i start rping with them and one difference of opinion makes them unfollow and even block me when i asked them why? I wasn't trying to start shit i just wanted to know. We can't have a debate or explanation on this site without someone taking it as a personal attack. And now i'm just so fed up. I'm crying right now like really fucking crying and i've just had it.

1-5 for the ship meme!
1. are you open to on-the-fly shipping with your muse?
sometimes! it depends on the partner and the muse tbh. 99% of the time i do a lot better if we have an established plot and hc beforehand and during. i just don’t do the best if there’s no groundwork laid. that’s not always the case, but it’s what i’ve found to be true most of the time!
2. what sort of things does your muse look for in a partner?
this is super varied depending on the muse! just off the top of my head — harley looks for someone that’s mutually kind because he values that kind of thing. fox looks for a person who would embrace his weirdness, goes along with it, and doesn’t shame him for it. jolie looks for someone who has matured and grown to a point to match her own journey, since she’s spent so much time working on herself. tess looks for someone who won’t hold her back on her quest for adventure and spontaneity and will go on adventures with her. 
3. what sort of things does your muse AVOID in a partner?
most of these are just the flip side of what the above muses do look for. harley couldn’t be with someone who was unnecessarily rude, abrasive, or harsh with anyone — he looks at how people treat waiters and waitresses especially. honestly this sounds stupid but fox has a hard time if his partner doesn’t believe in ghosts, aliens, and the paranormal or at least admit that they could exist. jolie had an extremely rough, wild past with partying and has left those days behind her for the most part, so she doesn’t really seek out anyone who wants to live a party lifestyle. and tess would have a hard time with a super jealous, clingy partner — she needs to be able to come and go on her own terms. that being said, i love the opposites attract trope! so this by far does NOT rule out any of these possibilities for a future ship.
4. what is the lowest and highest age person you’ll ship with your muse?
i’m pretty flexible when it comes to age, tbh. and age gaps don’t really bother me as long as the muses fit together well and both parties are over 18. the only time it bothers me is if they’re huge age gaps, like 18 & 40-50, and also if they’re fetishized.
5. how easily does your muse fall in love?
depends on the muse! for some of my muses, like roman, jackson, and lennon, it takes them a little bit because they tend to be afraid of commitment. jack is straight up not into the idea of love and has a hard time even admitting when she does love someone. then you have the other end of the spectrum, like harley, who falls in love and isn’t afraid to admit it. a lot of my muses have commitment issues, tbh. however, because i’m a sucker for happy endings, those end up being resolved at some point.
shipping meme — accepting.

idk why y'all insist on tearing down her other (non clown boy related obvi) ships to hype up another.
Like just cause you ship Harlivy doesn't mean you gotta come into her tags being mean about Quinnflag and just cause you ship Batquinn doesn't mean you have to be unnecessarily rude about Harlivy.
We can live in harmony babes, we all love Harley and just want the best for her.
