Do you guys remember the first time you ever saw an abusive relationship depicted in fiction (that you were consciously aware of)? For me it was Joker and Harley in BTAS. It’s kind of a weird thought to have but I think they stand out in my mind because domestic violence between partners is not something you see depicted often in kids media

#This is such a specific thought but Joker and Harley will always stand out in my mind as the 1st time I recognized a fictional abusive #relationship. Before I even knew what the word ‘abuse’ was I knew they were fucked up in a very specific way #and the reason why Harley was such a compelling character that she was able to jump from cartoon to canon is because they did #such a good job depicting it. So shout out to Bruce Timm for that I guess #Dc #this might come as a surprise from a Jason Todd fan but I have no particularly strong feelings towards the joker and most of my residual #’we should kill him with hammers’ feelings come from being an 11 year old Harley fan
