Harvey during his first night at Arkham, having completely burnt his life to the ground and waiting for the divorce papers to arrive any day now:

Gilda, arguing with the security guard: “The fuck you mean you don’t do conjugal visits?!”

Reblog if You’re Willing to Roleplay with Unconventially Disabled Muses

By unconventially I mean disabled in a way that limits their outgoing activities, requires them to ask for help when out, makes it difficult for them to function without abled aid, ect.

Batman: Arkham Knight - All Two-Face Dialogue (Isolated)

Ok, so, there aren't any decent isolated voice clips of Harvey speaking in this game anywhere that I could find (I have searched). There are some on YouTube, but they are either extremely low quality, leave out certain dialogue, or they contain all the background noise that sometimes muffles details in Troy Baker's performance, notably in the batmobile segments.

For example, you can hear Harvey's breath hitch before he continues speaking to Bruce, as if to stop himself from crying, which you CAN'T hear in-game unless you somehow have the voice audio cranked all the way up! (Or *maybe* wearing headphones).

So, when you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. Originally I was just going to keep this for my server but I decided to post here too. Enjoy some Harvey ASMR!

NOTE: There is still some background noise/articles/warps in the Two-Faced Bandit intercom dialogue because sometimes in order to prompt Harvey into talking, you have to attack his men, therefore causing extra noise over his dialogue, which is hard to isolate. The same issue is present in the cell dialogue, because in order to get all his dialogue, you must have all other Rogues in the cell with him, and Pyg doesn't shut the fuck up. Also with the fear toxin sequence - some lines are impossible to get perfectly because Harvey will shoot as he speaks. Lastly, the only line I know is missing from the DLC is when Harvey says: "Sorry, kid. This is a man's game," when Tim enters the throne atrium. That's because it's fucking impossible to get it without Harvey's men grunting over it, lmao. But it's not too important of a line.

Bonus thing under the cut (if the cut works, it may not, lmao).

Reference to A Serious House on Serious Earth that I didn't notice initially, on display within Harvey's mansion. Cool!

Harvey Dent is a working class man

I don't know why tumblr insists on cycling through such discourse and at such a vitriol level. First of all, don't harass each other - especially over a fictional character. It's childish. But, there has been some discourse that Harvey is an elitist character. Wrong. Harvey has consistently been portrayed as a man with a working class background - almost always except for one or two portrayals. The comics have established this for decades and as said, is the same in almost every portrayal of Harvey. His father was an extremely abusive alcoholic gambler. Let me tell you right now that most gamblers are completely broke. Not all, but most. Harvey would not have been able to get to where he was without hard work and dedication. He was only able to attend law school because of his scholarships and in the Arkham series, Bruce's help. In the Arkham series, Harvey lives in a tiny, dilapidated flat. From what we see of his bedroom, he doesn't appear to own much of anything. Leslie Thompkins talks about how poor he is and has to provide a lot of resources to him. Harvey talks about how he grew up in interviews and is an inspiration for other kids who grew up as he did. Batman the Animated Series has pretty much so the same situation, but without Leslie Thompkins. His father was poor and always was poor, even when Harvey visits him as an adult. Telltale Harvey has a broken down car that hardly works and depends heavily on Bruce for almost anything financial. The Long Halloween establishes that Harvey was not wealthy as he seems to have acquired either a bit of debt or at least severely depleted his funds in order to buy a home for Gilda.

Additionally, there seems to be this idea that lawyer = rich. No. it takes years to pay off college loans. A lot of lawyers - and doctors have to wait a decade or more for their degrees to finally pay off. Even if Harvey had graduated with no debt, he was still a brand new lawyer. Newly graduated lawyers do not make that much money. DA's do not make much money, especially at first. There are other law subsets that make far more money.

Additionally, it's rude to assume that everyone from doctors to lawyers to professors are all wealthy and that they didn't work to get where they are. It completely negates the hard work that many did and ignores the backgrounds that many come from. I would know this because I was friends with a lot of law students and med students in graduate school. (And before anyone comes for me, I'm a first generation college student who needed scholarships.) Trust me. They're struggling. Harvey came from NOTHING and that's one of the reasons why he was seen as such a shining star and inspiration to the people of Gotham, something the Arkham series heavily touches upon. Additionally, I have never seen Harvey or Two Face act elitist towards anyone. It's simply not in his or Two Face's nature. At the risk of sounding arrogant, if you don't even know that Harvey had an abusive father and Harvey was extremely impoverished - how can you be harassing anyone over what "Harvey really is". Harvey fans, please feel free to add on with more examples.

Winona is so beautiful. She’s so Gilda Dent to me it’s wild.

Harvey mugshot cuz' why not, and also a spur-of-the-moment wanted poster thing with Jason's vandalism over it.

Arkham Shadow ripped out my heart and soul over Harvey and I love it so much. Exploring his and Bruce's dynamic more was something I always wanted in Arkham games. And it's just so good that he was the rat king the entire time

I've seen renditions of big bad Harv being shown before. That Harvey was very much a sick man much before his incident. Showing that he was deeply troubled to the point of not even remembering his own crimes without realizing it at all? That actually makes his psyche much more believable.

More build up towards it and showing just how truly lost he was long before anyone even realized. Even those he loved deeply didn't know. It's an added layer of tragedy. I think some two face stories just jumped to him already being two face. It would take a lot more than just an acid attack to break his mind in two.

Just such an added layer of horror realizing the person you've been fighting for the entire time was already long gone.

two-part two-face reading order because i haven’t seen one that covers his essentials across his whole history

All Gilda Arkham Shadow moments (NOT real spoilers)

This is disappointing.

That is it. That is literally it in the entire game. These are ALL easily missable moments. It's on a last-minute interview clip that is easily missed, and Harvey's answering machine, which is also easily missed. Why is there no other sign of Gilda? At all? Why isn't she in the hospital with Harvey? Why isn't she seen comforting him after some of his other traumatic events? Why do we see nothing? She easily could have taken the place of some of Leslie's moments. Gilda is Harvey's rock just as much as Bruce. (I say that as someone who appreciates Bruharvey.) Even if they didn't want to make a model of her, they could have had a drawing of sorts like they did with Christopher Dent. They could have had a voice message. They could have had Harvey say something as simple as "Gilda is worried about me" or "I have to go home to her". "Gilda says hi." - in the storyline. Gilda is a truly wasted character. She makes Harvey's wife so much richer and I'm disappointed by creators once again leaving her out. However, I do applaud Arkham Shadow for doing some amazing work with Harvey, especially for BruHarvey fans.

[gildagracedent]

Amazing work as always!

Harvey: Fix your posture... and then maybe you'd be close.

Had no time to do official Halloween art but here's a really, really quick doodle of Jason 'dressing up' as Harvey to piss him off. (He just scribbled a marker over one side of a suit, brushed his white streaks to the side and splattered paint on one side of his face.) Well done, Jay!

Thank you to @gildagracedent for prompting me to do it, lmaooo.

Happy Halloween. ^^
