❛ there you are. what the hell happened to you? ❜ (joker)
THE BLACKLIST PROMPTS ///. ( @fallesto )
𝐇𝐔𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐀 𝐑𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐇𝐄𝐑. Her jaw ached from how hard her teeth were grinding against each other. Mascara coating sharp - angled cheekbones, blood from a broken nose ─ her broken nose ─ spilling & intertwining with the black of her lipstick. She could taste it between her teeth, metallic & wrong. It shouldn't be her own blood she tasted this evening, it should've been that broken bat's; she must be a horrid sight ──── undershirt & stockings torn, open wounds coating her body crimson, chipped nails bleeding all over her malfunctioning phone ( Was her nail chipped or just fallen off entirely? ). Yet all that paled in comparison to enraged green eyes & the hunger for destruction that devoured them. Her face twists into something ugly as the question takes a second to land, & for a moment, just a moment ──── SHE WANTS TO CHOKE HIM WITH A COPPER WIRE.
❝ What happened? What the hell happened? Like you haven't heard already, it's fucking everywhere ──── ! ❞ Her worst moments immortalized, not via a lost fight or a plan gone wrong or a blood - bath, oh no. She hadn't been that lucky. Instead, betrayal arrived in a form much closer to home. The maggots infesting the screens wherever she appeared; the leeches sucking her blood for relevance; HER ANNOYING LITTLE PARASOCIAL FANCLUB MOVEMENT had spread farther than she could contain ─ a fire quick & bright, it engulfed everything. The narrative she had spent months refining was tainted. Her voice snarled, ❝ They're twisting it all wrong ───── & the Bats' are feeding into it: ' She’s brainwashed ', or ' She’s just another Harley. ' or ' Joker ruined her life. ' or ' You can tell she’s crying for help. ' No matter what I do, it's a sinking black hole because of that tramp's mistakes. ❞
𝐀 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐏𝐈𝐄𝐑𝐂𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇, silencing her ongoing rampage as she paced, gloved hands reach for the alcohol, taking quick searing gulps & dumping the rest on her broken nose, it wasn't just Harley Quinn... was it? No. Her fury reignites a hundred times over. The glass bottle in her hand suddenly felt obscene. Smashing it against the window, she shatters the delusion in an instant ─────
❝ It's not just her, it's you too ! ❞ She screeched as shattered glass showered down around them. This was it ──── authorial colonization. She was denied credit for her crimes, her brilliance & her genius, even before she had been entranced with or even met Joker. She hadn't convinced her classmates to hang themselves just for the internet to now rename her the second coming of a cheap victim narrative. ❝ I'm her sob story rewound, & that I'm weak enough to be manipulated by you ! ❞
