Just read The Strange Case of Harley and Harleen and my god I needed a little bit of positive plurality in my life this week.

The way Pam and Harl's relationship adapts to accept the Harley/Harleen split makes my heart swell.

The way Pam sees the difference between her girlfriends.

And assures her that she accepts and loves all sides of her.

And does what she can to accommodate Harleen's memory holes.

The core relationship of this book is just so sweet and positive in accepting things as they are without judgment or pushing. Just acceptance and love.

And after finding that in our own life, I know what a powerfully positive thing it can be.

But the Harley/Harleen relationship is well handled too. There's friction and denial at the start but the two develop and trust one another by the end and Harley takes a seat as my favorite kind of character, the morally ambiguous protector.

I love the way Harley's protectiveness of Harleen is depicted and how she tries so hard to keep her from interacting with the criminal underworld of Gotham.

It's just saccharine and kind.

Highly recommend the book to anyone who just wants soft and kind plurality vibes. Heaven knows the majority of the fiction involving split personalities are flooded with angst and darkness and though this book contains a few dark plot beats like DV it never feels painful or sorrow inducing.

I'm so happy I read it.

I know Duke is normally drawn with short hair, and that’s fine, but I really think artists should take advantage of how many cool things you can do with his hair texture.

Duke Thomas is black, meaning he probably has 3c->4c hair texture, based on how it’s drawn I’m assuming it’s more likely 4b or 4c

(I’m in no way an expert, I’m very very white, all of this is from google. Please tell me if I’m in the entirely wrong ballpark here)

What I’m trying to say here is that people should draw Duke with the star Afro. PLEASEEE ITS SO COOL!

HE HAS LIGHT POWERS

THE THEME GUYS

PLEASEEEEE

Went on google looking for examples of the Afro and saw the braids, and the fade and like AH

Guys please just draw him with cool hair. The things I’d do for DC to stop drawing every black character with short hair istg

I literally have no one else to scream at about anything Batman related at the moment while I start my Batman Animated Series re-watch from my childhood. So I hope no one minds me gushing about something I just got in the mail that might end up being the best thing i'll ever own ever. I love this design of the Batmobile soooooo much, it's so cool.
