Maiden of Mischief

Harley and her pups! Girls and puppy kisses are very important to me.

I get it. You want to tell the story of a woman moving past her abuser. You drove that home again and again and again. “Years away” “supportive friends” etc etc… GOOD. People need a story like that. But not at the sake of completely writing several characters as they’ve never been written before. They wrote Joker as some douchebaggy, sexual predator - when has Joker EVER been a sexual predator? They have him kissing her to try and win her back, when he typically completely shies away from her affections. He relies on his words and charm to win her back.  Ugh, just every word out of Joker’s mouth was wrong. It felt forced. It didn’t feel like Joker at all. Joker’s an abusive jerk, yes, but he’s not whatever they tried to make him. But because nearly no one supporting this shit understands (or even TRIES to understand) who Joker is and how his character is they cheer and shout “JUSTICE!!” and shower praise upon it. Just because its a woman kicking the shit out of a man who abused her. It doesn’t matter if nothing is in line with decades of character history or interaction (Seriously. Harley has left his ass before. Harley has beaten his ass before. And it all felt right and true to character on all parts)All that matters is people saw some abusive creepy jerk get his ass handed to him while Harley flirts up a storm with OOC Ivy and her Boy Toy of the Month. There’s a line where Harley states she just wanted to talk to him, but every time they get together it ends in violence - pinning the blame for the bloody battle on him. But honestly, this ‘Harley’ has been ten times more violent than Harley has ever been from the start at every moment in her comic. An airline clerk is slightly rude to her? She murders her and stuffs her into a suitcase. The violence is all her, he didn’t push her into it. The writing team can’t even keep their story for Harley and how she acts and who she is straight. 

my stuff before colouring them. As you may have noticed, I use black pens on paper most of the time.

Today, I thought to myself, “Man, Princess Leia would look GREAT in Valentino’s Fall 2015 space collection.”

Cute illustration of Harley and Ivy by Shigeto Koyama from a doujinshi, you can flip through the photos on Kraker2K’s blog, so far I’ve only seen Kinu Nishimura’s illustration online (he’s using it for his twitter bg). Thanks to XX for scanning (more to come)!
