HAMMER HARLEEN AND THE FISTS OF CLOWNING (FREE FACIAL RECONSTRUCTION)

I have been looking for what martial arts Harley Quinn may have learned as she is seen going toe-to-toe with the likes of Catwoman, Nightwing, Batgirl, Lord Death Man, and Batman, to name a few. All that comes up is her backround in gymnastics and learning from the Bat Family, and her aggression and fearless approach of being a wild card. She is a scrapper, but Batman and Nightwing are too skilled to be beaten by a simple scrapper. So, what is her fighting secret?

What I am about to present is not canon, and I do my best to stick to canon because this is about Harley Quinn and how she is presented in popular culture and not my fantasies, but martial arts was my first love ♡. I have spent over 30 years training and studying various forms of martial arts from books to learning under local masters, so I have more than a basic understanding of the Fist.

First, we all know she had a backround in gymnastics and was a criminal psychologist that worked in Gotham, where crime is the rule and not the exception. With that, before she was the Maiden of Mischief, she was just Dr. Harleen Quinzel, so it would be logical that she took self defense classes. She also grew up in New York and is Jewish, so Krav Maga, an Israeli self-defense art inspired by Israeli military hand-to-hand combat, would make the most sense. Krav Maga is also one of the more popular and efficacious self defense systems in the United States.

Krav Maga uses open hand strikes, clinches, knees, elbows, weapons disarms, and evasion tactics. They also teach eye gouging, throat and groin strikes, as well as grappling defense. Being a military art, it is based on survival and not for sport or beauty like prize fighting or traditional martial arts.

Although she was a gymnast, gymnastics does not teach fighting, but there are martial arts that combine gymnastics and fighting, the most famous being Wushu and Shaolin Kung Fu. There is an ancient kung fu method called Yi Jin Jing, or Muscle Tendon Change Classic, which is influenced by Yoga and combines a mix of flexibility and strength exercises.

Shaolin Kung Fu combines acrobatics, gymnastics, iron body, animal forms, weapons forms, meditation, and Traditional Chinese Medicine. I wouldn't go as far as saying she trained in China, but New York has a large martial arts community and its own Shaolin Temple, so it is a possibility.

Another style that involves acrobatics and kung fu, which is one of my favorite styles, is Drunken Boxing.

It isn't a single style. It is taught to intermediate to advanced students once they have mastered the basics of their style. It has a mix of tumbling, jumping, spinning, flipping, and deceptive tactics and techniques based on the movements of a drunkard.

Finally, we have her weapons. Her most notable being her bat and (oversized) mallot.

The Irish have a stick fighting style called "bataireacht" which uses a shillelagh, a hard wood (blackthorn) stick with a natural nob as a handle that is good for hooking and smashing, such as smashing a skull.

Of course, swinging a bat at someone is a very effective way to end almost any fight.

Some of my discord buddies started cooking a new D&D campaign and I wanted to try out the updated 2024 Monk. His name is Lott Sun. He is... ostensibly... a private investigator, though his "crimes committed" and "crimes solved" ratio is a little bit lopsided towards the former. His buddies include a Tabaxi Warlock and a one-armed Goliath Rogue!

I wanna believe oh so badly when Ace got his devil fruit he felt so bad for how much shit he was giving Luffy about his. Like Luffy struggled to bathe by himself without drowning in that damn barrel. The way he would somehow start drowning in knee deep water. As kids it looked like Luffy was just weak. But the first bath he had after eating the flame-flame fruit was an EXPERIENCE

Speaking of sucking off Billy, i imagine its midnight, and Billy came home drunk from the saloon playin' poker w the guys. His cheeks all flushed, he sways a bit when he walks. He keeps kissin and flirtin', drunk praises here and there, rubbing his bulge on reader's ass. Reader leads him to the bedroom to take off his clothes and sleep for the night. But when he's half naked, and reader be like unzipping his pants, he goes:

"Suck me off pls 🥺"

Reader gives in, and gives him the most sloppiest deep throat head he ever recieved. He cant stop the feral noises coming out of his mouth. His legs be shakin', his voice coming out breathy and shaky as well:

"O-oh, god. Yes!"

"T-thats my gi- oh god. Mhhmm, oh shit.! Baby, that's so f-fuckin' deep. Y-your throat is- fuCK- so f-fuckin' tight.."

(First time writing smut holy shi-)

GOD listen I can’t even think to add something to this it’s so good except it’s like even better probably if you’re both drunk so it’s sloppy all around on all counts AND HIM RAMBLING AS HES ABOUT TO COME WOULD BE JUST SOOOOOOO

[offkilterkeys]

i imagine you have a vault of unreleased content that you don't get around to posting for relatable reasons. if you do i humbly ask that you grace me with something. anything! close your eyes and pick a file? let fate decide. if you made it i'll like it, that's the point anyway

I’ve posted some panels or pieces of these but never the entire sequence on here I don’t think, so but this is one of the only substantial things I’d say I’ve kept in a vault.

I feel like compared to my newer stuff these look super rough, but they were really good practice.

These have pesterlogs that go with them but this post is already huge so eh. This was set to occur a couple hours after Caliborn’s masterpiece, so Roxy and Dirk are talking about Halquius’s heroic sacrifice/death. Davepeta and Dirk continue that line of conversation, while Roxy is pulled into an argument about self control as I bum everyone out by reminding them that Jasprose never actual stopped being an alcoholic.

I've always loved animal symbolism, so here's some with the Dollars Trilogy characters + a Fistful of Dollars! 😱

(I will explain each one. 🙏🏽)

The Man With No Name as a coyote because coyotes are a symbol of cunning, intelligence, and adaptability. The coyote embodies the dual nature of life and represents both positive and negative qualities. It is also depicted as a trickster figure.

I think this fits TMWNN, especially being an anti-hero with his ways of being able to get what he wants by "playing both sides" throughout the trilogy. (With the Rojos and Baxters, Douglas Mortimer and El Indio's gang, and himself, Angel Eyes at one point, and Tuco.) Which gives him the cunningness.

He is described as intelligent a lot in the trilogy, and it's very clear with how carefully he plans and, again, how to get what he wants.

Adaptability because we see him in all sorts of settings: cities, deserts, villages, etc. and none of those have seemed to bother him one bit.

A Fistful of Dollars:

The Rojos as red wolves mostly because they travel in packs and are aggressive towards other canids, which we'll get to next.

(Edit: I just remembered Rojo also means red lmfao I swear that wasn't on purpose)

The Baxters as Coywolves because they travel in small family packs and compete with other canids such as wolves (the Rojos).

Both families are portrayed as powerful rivals like red wolves and even coywolves (likely because both animals live in the East United States).

Marisol, Julio, and Jesús (I couldn't fit Julio) as cattle because cows are quiet animals that symbolize humility and simplicity.

Which I thought was kinda fitting because with the lives they had to live, it gives them their humility.

Simplicity because the family follows TMWNN's orders with fairly little resistance.

For a Few Dollars More:

Col. Douglas Mortimer as a silver fox because silver foxes represent nobility, maturity, confidence, and charm.

I think the nobility for him comes from his long journey of avenging his sister and as a character that seems to have good personal and general morals.

The maturity because of his age, experience, and behavior.

Confidence is very easy to see lol he is very sure of his abilities, especially when he first meets Juan Wild in El Paso. (Man's got balls of steel, Jesus Christ)

This may be subjective, but the charm isn't that hard to see in him lmao

El Indio and his gang are Mexican wolves. Not just because they're a gang and wolves travel in packs, but also because those packs can be really big, like El Indio's gang. Plus, Mexican wolves tend to be highly social, which could be a stretch as a connection to El Indio and his gang, but they seem to accept new recruits to their gang pretty easily lol

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly:

Angel Eyes as a Gray fox. I promise I'm not being uncreative lmao. Gray foxes, given their competition in the wild, most likely tend to be more aggressive and dominant. Gray foxes also represent cleverness and adaptability.

In Tgtbtu, Angel Eyes can definitely be a very aggressive character, and the powerful part of the meaning of dominance is also very apparent in his character.

I find Angel Eyes's history of being able to track people down and identify them as a sign of intelligence.

Like, TMWNN, Angel Eyes can also be found in different settings and adjusts to them pretty quickly, especially given his job as a hitman.

(Sorry, it felt like I was grasping at straws on this one, but I couldn't find a lot on gray foxes, I just thought it was fairly fitting.)

Tuco Ramirez as a badger because they both are known for digging lol, but on a serious note, badgers are extremely aggressive towards other animals and have grumpy attitudes, which I find very fitting for Tuco lol.

I just wanted to include him lol. The Union Captain is a jaguar because jaguars can get intoxicated anddd yeahhh lol.

I don't know why no fighting game has ever had their Drunken Fist master be a drunk party girl. Just imagine a normal teenager who happens to be a natural warrior when she's white-girl wasted.

Her story mode is her getting lost from the party and she keeps wandering into every other character in the tournament until she beats the final boss. Then the ending is her hungover the next morning, with no clue where she is, who all her new friends are, or why she's a billion dollars richer.

Harry talking with Stanley Tucci in the audience at the Brits 2023, hugging him, kissing his cheeks (as hello), and kissing his hand.

A reminder that the real Harry is extremely affectionate and soft with the people he cares for.

Pisco's being mean to me

[tadbitsickchickwithadick]

remember to put on your best bathrobe for when you get hatecrimed. it really helps sell the gravity of the situation to the audience

[allthatmay]

do you prefer arabasta (greasy), marineford (saddest wet little kitty ever) or wano (ethereal dead wife) ace?

Lets be real, here.

You want a top? Alabasta Ace is your boy. He's got the swagger and confidence (even if it's all for show).

You want a bottom? Marineford Ace needs healing from the inside.

You want a daydream? Wano Ace is there for you. He's perfect at all times and he'll never let you down.

In all seriousness—and that is quite difficult right now because I am quite drunk—a mix between Alabasta Ace and Marineford Ace is my favourite. That's kind of how I imagine him. Not quite as tall nor pointy as Alabasta Ace, but not quite as sweet as Marineford Ace.

(Also, your descriptions tickled me! "Etheral dead wife." Uh-huh. Yes.)
