Tonight’s COMIC JAM HAWAII Drink & Draw celebrated the legendary cartoonist, Charles M. Schulz! His birthday is on Nov 26 and he would’ve been 100 this year! •Known as “Sparky” by his close friends, he was a major influence on me, as well as MANY other artists. I hurt my hand today, but managed to knock out some pieces 🙂 #Schulz100 Also check out the work from @artildawn @gootie29 @solocutart @___roncat___ & @banzaiboy #jonjmurakami #cartoon #comic #comicstrip #fanart #CharlesMSchulz #charlesschulz #charliebrown #snoopy #woodstock #linus #schroeder #mynahird #shaveice #goodgrief #mynahbird #kiteeatingtree #groot #igotarock #hawaii #copic #copicmarkers https://www.instagram.com/p/ClVhAB3uaPF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is a fantastic analysis, and I love the comparison with Blake and Sun! The one thing I’d like to add is that in the comics, both Harley and Ivy are polyamorous! So Ivy and Kiteman being together doesn’t mean she and Harley can’t also be together. :D

Let's talk about Ivy & Kiteman in the new DC Harley Quinn animated serie

I've seen a lot of angry posts about the possible relationship between Kiteman and Ivy, especially after Ivy's comment "did he mention my name?" in 1x03. People were saying "oh so Harlivy was just queerbaiting??? Really?!".

But I disagree and I actually liked that comment from Ivy.

Don't get me wrong : I think we will get Harlivy eventually. I think Harlivy is the endgame future canon otp of the serie (didn't one of the producers already kind of confirmed it already?).

But I really like that Harley didn't go straight (lol) from one relationship to another. The whole point of each episode - hell, the entire serie - is that Harley must discover who she is, out of her past relationship with the Joker. Every episode is just a damn metaphor though DC villain characters for the "how to get over your abusive ex" agenda :

-1st episode: the breakup and realising he is not good for you.

-2nd episode: the friends from your ex (aka the legion of doom) are not your friends anymore. 

-3nd episode : find your own friends (aka a crew).

- 4th episode : find a sex friend through a social media like tinder (aka a nemesis).

Etc.

Same for Ivy: if she was 100% romantically into Harley it would be like she was practically jumping at the girl after her terrible breakup (which is one of her lowest point). I actually liked Ivy's interest in Kiteman as a way to show that she really was there for Harley as a friend. She might be attracted to Harley, but she's still helping her because she cares, not because she wants more from her or because she is in love with her.

This actually reminds me of a scene in another cartoon : RWBY. In volumes 4 and 5, Sun helps Blake (the girl he has a crush on) when she's separated from her teammates / friends. Once she's reunited with them in volume 6, he leaves and returns to his own team, letting her with her other possible love interest (Yang). This surprises Sun's best friend Neptune that feels like Sun is just giving up on the girl. To which Sun replied : "that was never about that". And this is crucial here : it was never about winning her affection, it was about helping a friend. Helping because you care, and not because you want to gain something out of it. It's about the fact that we do not "earn" another person's feeling for our good actions. So many TV series and movies reward the good guy with his crush's affection. But life doesn't work like that. You can't say "but I was being a good guy, why don't you love me?". You don't earn love, you do good because you care and that's it. So as Sun said : "it was never about that".

Back to Harley and Ivy. From my point of view, showing that Ivy is not doing all that in order to win Harley's affection but because she really cares about her as a friend is a huge deal. She's not taking care of Harley because she loves her romantically but because she loves her you know "in a very odd hard-to-articulate way". So Ivy's comment on Kiteman was actually very interesting for me.

And come on, we all know that if Ivy starts dating (or something else) Kiteman it would only be a temporary thing. Harlivy is endgame, man!

However, there is one point that is a bit annoying, and on that I will agree with the angry posts : the modification of Ivy's sexual orientation (Edit : not even true, see below). OK so I don't read the comics but from what I've read in the angry posts, it seems like Ivy was a lesbian in those (Edit : not even true, see below) and they changed it in this animated serie into bisexual (let's just say bisexual for now based on her interest in Kiteman). And I agree that this is kind of annoying (OK it's really frustrating) for reasons of representation. We're supposed to go for more LGBT+ representation, not less, and going once again like in so many TV series for the bisexual orientation and not lesbian orientation is so frustrating. But, as I don't read the comics, I didn't know about that when I saw the episode. So for a random watcher of the series, it was not as frustrating as it might have been for members of the LGBT+ community that knew about that... Especially since I am a strong believer of the future otp Harlivy, so it was never a transformation from lesbian to hetero but from lesbian to bisexual from my point of view.

Edit : again, I've never read the comics but I've just learn in the comments that she IS bisexual even in the comics. I just read that she was designed at first as a love interest for Batman and it was much later that she became Harley's love interest. If she's bisexual even in the comics, it's really not a valid point to hate Ivy's interest in men. Maybe people forgot about Batman because the latest issues focused on Harley? Anyway, it's not a valid point.

So yeah, I liked Ivy's comment on Kiteman and would be okay if she had a relationship with him in the next episodes. Not as the ship I'll ship (come on man, I ship Harlivy so hard) but as a way to show that she was helping Harley because she cared, not because she wanted to be her knight in armor. She saved her countless time, yes, but she's not trying to earn Harley's affection through those actions.

It was never about that.

#KiteEatingTree :D

Both Harlivy and whatever the ship for Kite Man and Ivy is called are valid and I think, maybe, they should all just be happy together.

''I'm astonished at the number of people who write to me saying, 'Why can't you create happy stories for us? Why does Charlie Brown always have to lose? Why can't you let him kick the football?' Well, there is nothing funny about the person who gets to kick the football. We can all relate to failure."-Charles M. Schulz.
