It do be like that sometimes😶

New episode had me in tears.

Started watching this show, and I don’t regret it not one bit.

Literally me if I was living my dream life as a 1940s female

If smoking wasn’t so disgusting I would be all over that shit.

The aura I would gain from staring at the sunset out an open window, gently melodic tunes playing over a record playing, while smoking and daydreaming of Paris, would be astronomical.

Edit:

After great consideration I have realised it is just this scene from American Dad

So I was watching the live performance for the Happy Day in Hell song…

Did Master Shake put up that sign?

(Let me just yap about this show for a bit. In this essay, I will—)

Ok, so basically I’m just gonna start off by saying that the show isn’t that bad. The earlier seasons were my favorite. I genuinely thought the show was gonna be about Harley Quinn, trying to make it in the world after her break up with The Joker with the help of her crew and stuff, and that did kind of happen… but then the crew split up😭

My idea for what was gonna happen was that Harley was gonna want to join the Legion of doom because she wanted to prove to The Joker, her crew and others, but most of all herself that she is more than who others think of her. And she eventually succeeds, but it turns out she doesn’t really need it cause she has her crew and it would be like a ‘found family’ type of thing. Like, it would be an ensemble cast, but it would mainly be focused on Harley.

And even when Harley and Ivy got together, the rest of the main cast wouldn’t be sidelined, and they would all have separate motivations and we’d get character development on all of them and stuff like that, cause to be honest, I’m glad that in the earlier seasons, we kind of got to see the main cast’s dynamic with the other characters in the crew.

For example, let’s just deviate to talking about the best character in the show for a little bit, if you will. Clayface had motivations of dreaming to be an actor and stuff, he had flaws….you know, all that. I honestly kind of like his character a bit in the later seasons, but I kind of want to see him be more than just the comic relief. Like I wanna see his backstory and stuff, I want to see him interact with Harley and Ivy more.

Cause in Batman: the animated series, he had a backstory. (Look guys I know this is a different version of Clayface, but hear me out.) This specific version of Clayface is Matt Hagan, right? Matt Hagan in the original comics as far as I know was a detective or something. Basil Karlo, another version of Clayface is an actor. The animated series basically kind of combined the two to create this version of Clayface who is Matt Hagan, but he happens to be an actor instead of a detective. But the point is I kinda wish Clayface in Harley Quinn kinda just like added some depth to his character. Not just him, but I genuinely want to see each character like grow and stuff. Now let’s talk about an episode that changed me.

The ‘Icons Only’ episode (Season 4, Episode 3) definitely made me see Clayface in a different light (in a good way kind of). So basically throughout the show, we see him, struggling to be an actor and stuff and make it into stardom. And that’s his motivation throughout the whole entire show because he sees himself as a performer above all else.

And he eventually succeeds, honestly good for him.

But throughout the episode, the fame CLEARLY has gotten into his head. His ego has gotten high, he’s very pretentious….you know, the whole shebang. so the episode is about Harley and Ivy going to Las Vegas and they want to get tickets to his show and stuff right? But a lady named Ramona tells them that the tickets are all sold out (remember her, that is a surprise tool that’ll help us later). And so they try to find ways to get tickets to his show for some reason. And then Clayface shows up and he’s like “Oh I’ll see you at tonight’s show, I assume, unless you don’t have tickets.” And Ivy just lies and says they do annd she’s very specific about the seats too and he’s like “Splendid! I’ll see you at tonight’s show in those…exact. Seats.” The thing is….Clayface, who is usually terrible at his disguises, is actually Ramona so he KNOWS that they don’t have tickets. And later in the episode, it is shown that he does indeed have extra tickets, but he just doesn’t give it to them. Based on everyone’s past mistreatment of him in the earlier seasons, I’m glad he finally grew a spine and stood up for himself.

(Like, look at that smug face, he knows what he’s doing😭)

And I honestly kinda love his dynamic with Poison Ivy. I’mma be honest like they have a kind of beef in this episode, but then it just straight up disappears in the season 5 finale. Like they even had a FIGHT SCENE!🤩 (I’m glad we got to see Clayface fight for once cause holy shit) Cause in the musical episode, they didn’t interact at all. Poison Ivy only showed up at the musical to support Harley and Frank. But then when Clayface and Poison Ivy actually interact again in the finale, it’s like nothing ever happened. I honestly kind of loved their dynamic in the earlier seasons. It’s giving Asta and Harry in Resident Alien. The only part of the ‘Icons Only’ episode that I did not like was the fact that we didn’t actually get to see Clayface‘s show💀

But the thing about Clayface’s acting is that we slowly start to see him improve a little bit. Cause like….those who have seen the show… kinda know how bad he is. He’s good at replicating people’s physical appearance, yes. But his over the top attitude just makes people realize that it’s not actually the person he’s trying to disguise himself as. Also, his teeth is a dead giveaway. But with Harley and Ivy, not recognizing that Ramona is actually him develops a little bit of his character in the sense his acting improved a little bit. Till we get to season five where he disguises himself as Perry White. Honestly, when it came to his snarky attitude in ‘Icons Only’ where he thinks he’s better than everyone and stuff… we never see him act that way ever again. All the character development that made him NOT act that way anymore..Happened off screen, I assume. And now he’s bankrupt and no longer as famous as he used to be… he’s back the same way he was before just worse. He’s just used for comic relief now. Like, IS HIS DAUGHTER ANNIE FROM THE COMICS EVEN CANON?! Cause if she were, I wanna see an episode where they bond because she clearly hates him and I want to see them go on a ‘Goofy Movie-esque’ adventure. I want to see him have some character development. Not just him, but the other characters too. I just brought him up as an example because he is my favorite.

But my whole entire point is that I feel like the show would’ve been a little bit better if HarlIvy wasn’t the main focus, new characters like the bat family would be introduced in later seasons, after the rest of the main cast got character depth and backstory and we got to see their individual dynamics and the characters would be fleshed out and stuff, and Joker wouldn’t forget that Bruce Wayne is Batman.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. That is all.
