"because harley isn't most everybody" - bruce wayne "you'll still have your friends, you'll still have me" - harley quinn 25 icon by honeytext on twitter
There’s no word strong enough to describe the ache in Gaza right now. Hunger is not just an empty stomach—it’s a constant presence, whispering through the silence of destroyed streets. You wake up hungry, live hungry, sleep hungry. And even if you have money in your pocket, it means nothing. Prices have soared beyond reach, shelves are bare, and what’s left is a cruel joke—too expensive for survival. It breaks something inside you to look at your family and realize your money can’t feed them. This is not just hardship—it’s humiliation in the most personal way. Every day feels like a fight for dignity in a world that keeps looking away.
DC Gotcha for Gaza* has re-opened creator sign-ups! If you're a DC fanartist or writer and have some time to spare, we'd appreciate it if you joined us. We'd equally appreciate any monetary donations, of course.
*This event is organized through Twitter. A similar event is being held on Tumblr at the moment (@dcufans4palestine) but I'm not involved in this one. Still, I'm sure they'd be very thankful for any donations, as well.
[ Clark arrives at a Batfamily meeting. ]
Bruce: Clark? I thought you left for your mission.
Clark: You wish I left already, so you and Harley could continue sneaking around behind my back.
Bruce:...What are you talking about?
Dick: Not sure what's happening, but I'm here for the drama.
Stephanie: I'm right there with you, Dick.
Clark: You and Harley are dating!
[ Everyone looks at Harley. ]
Harley: I mean, I think you're a great guy, Bruce...
Bruce: What? You think I'd date Harley Quinn.
Harley: Hurtful.
Quiet fills the cave as Bruce hangs up his call to Zatanna. It wasn't good news, though it definitely could have been worse also. While the kid who's uncontrolled magic had been caught and sorted the various effects of their magic were going to linger for up to a week.
Harley lays stomach down on a medical gurney, idly twirling a lock of pale blonde hair around a clawed finger. Bright red, white and black stripes adorn her figure, spines and fins laying flat against her tail that slaps rhythmically against the bed.
Bruce doesn't know if there is symbolism intended from the various transformations performed tonight but a lion fish seems to perfectly sum up how he sees Harley. Beautiful and deadly.
"We should move you into the pool."
Harley startles from where she had clearly been lost in thought. She gives a strained smile while saying, "nope. I'm good here, thanks."
"If you're worried about cleanliness it has a state of the art filtration system--"
"No, uh, maybe just a tub instead?" Harley asks hopefully.
Bruce frowns. Harley shifts, turning to sit on the edge of the gurney. She's fidgety, not uncommon but this has a nervous energy to it.
"It's going to be up to a week, I don't think you'll be comfortable staying in a tub," Bruce says slowly, mind turning over Harley's reluctance in his head. If she didn't want to stay in the cave, perhaps somewhere else would be better. "I could talk to Arthur maybe and arrange something in Atlantis."
"No!" Harley exclaims. "I mean, no. No, I'd- Ugh. I just."
She squirms more, struggling to express herself and takes a deep breath, "I don't like being submerged in water."
Oh.
Of course.
Being underwater would remind her of The Joker.
"I know it's dumb, it was years ago! But I never really had to, y'know, go swimmin' since."
Bruce reaches out, gently cupping Harley's face in his hand.
"It's not dumb, I understand."
She looks up at him with watery blue eyes and a thin smile.
"Maybe if you've got a bat-thing suit around I'd feel better if you could join me?"
Bruce chuckles, placing a kiss to the crown of Harley's head.
"I could get the bat-speedo out, I suppose."

Author's notes/rambling: i know a lot of people probably would assign harley clownfish but i feel like lion fish is a much better match for her. their beauty and deadliness just seems perfect.
then i also thought, getting submerged in the same gotham goop that the joker did could leave a lasting impression. so i just went with that lmao. anyway hope u enjoyed! have a great night everyone <3
I had some free time to spare again and wanted to draw more Batquinn. Suicide Squad Kill the justice league gave me some crumbs to work with. The game may have some flaws but the cutscenes were pretty fun and entertaining
She was really adamant on wanting to carry him all the way back, wasn't she? There's also that scene where she calls dibs on his gadgets and her character data description of Batman and the fact that her default skin has a bat plushie tied to her baseball bat
It was tragic the way things ended between them but I do like the potential angst in that scene where she kills him. Her words may be cruel but the coldness in her face also shows a sort of sadness when she was about to pull the trigger. It's like she had to steel herself before saying goodbye to one of the closest things she can call a friend because she knows the man before him isn't the one she used to know.
