I just want to tell you that I LOVE your portrayal of both Harvey AND Two-Face. It's so insightful and elegant. It shows how much you truly understand not only the characters but the psychological conditions that they have. It also shows how much the character means to you. You don't demonize D.I.D. or people who have the condition(WHICH IS GREAT that you don't do that! but also very unusual. I hope more people follow your example in that way, it's sorely needed.) and their struggles within society, thanks to society's rigidity for neurotypicality as the "Norm". You also do an amazing job at portraying that "Alters" ARE full fledged personalities. You fully flesh out Two-face just as much as you do Harvey, which the DC writers still struggle to do. They mostly just portray Two-face as Harvey's anger rather than a full separate personality. You made me care about a character that I didn't really care about before.
Your Harvey / Two-Face portrayal will ALWAYS be my favorite.
OH I AM SO UNBELIEVABLY TOUCHED BY THIS MESSAGE ! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU ! You have no idea from the bottom of my heart ! I started writing these two almost three years ago now && since the beginning , hell even before that when I was first exposed to HARVEY /𝐓𝐖𝐎-𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐄 back in my young years of watching BTAS with my sister && older brother ; I never once thought that 𝐓𝐖𝐎-𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐄 was just " 𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐋 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐕𝐄𝐘 " . Since then of course I took up reading the comics , playing the Arkham Games etc etc.
HARVEY && 𝐓𝐖𝐎-𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐄 might see THEMSELVES as GOOD && EVIL but that's not who they are or their definitions only what they've been told about themselves by their FATHER && things they encountered from a young age . These views of themselves don't stem from fact only unfairness that 𝐓𝐖𝐎-𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐄 was the one to protect , && he could only do so in mirroring what he saw , which is their abuser . So he used fists to protect them . They would be repeatedly told that anger was something to be ashamed of . That 𝐓𝐖𝐎-𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐄 was a " 𝐀 𝐃𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐍 𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐕𝐄𝐘 " && poor 𝐓𝐖𝐎𝐒 plays that role && he plays it very well but that's not who he is . I'm not saying I condone some of his actions but the guy didn't have a chance in hell .
People forget that HARVEY feels anger too && t& hat 𝐓𝐖𝐎-𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐄 has so much charisma just like HARV does , he's funny , quick witted , intelligent . Interests && so on He has a whole personality of his own .
I am not a system myself but I have people who I love that are a system && I've always told them that if there was ever anything that they thought was offensive about the way I play these two to come straight to me ! && I know what it's like to be a protector && to be blamed && demonized for it . People forget the tragedy here isn't just HARVEY it's HARVEY &IT'S 𝐓𝐖𝐎-𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐄 . The two of them really didn't stand much of a chance with their beginning but there's hope if HARVEY can just learn to accept 𝐓𝐖𝐎-𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐄. && 𝐓𝐖𝐎-𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐄 accept the guidance he needs as a persecutor who was just a protector completely misled by things neither of them could control !
&& I know I talked a lot about 𝐓𝐖𝐎𝐒 here but it's HARV too .�� Afraid of his own right to feel angry , afraid of himself && afraid of the one person he could always rely on to protect him . So afraid that he'd work himself to the bone just so people would believe he was good , that he was somehow this "APOLLO" unbreakable , incorruptible .
