I’m starting to suspect the harley animated show is gonna do the same as the comics, have them be in an open relationship, so ivy can still be with kiteman. I have a lot of thoughts on why i dislike that scenario, but was wondering if you think they’re heading that way too?

Oh, huh, you think so? I dunno, this feels kind of linear and deliberate, a specific journey and tropes and obstacles. If that were what they were doing, I don’t know if this would be the route they’d take? Maybe… I’d hate it, if so, lol.

Still not watched the half of it?

Nope. Maybe once all new content runs out I’ll go back and watch all these f/f (”all”, lol) movies I haven’t yet. A wild weekend of Carol, The Handmaiden, The Half of It, The Favourite, Rafiki, Portrait, Hearts Beat Loud, Signature Move, etc. I’ll let y’all know my thoughts. 😮

I think about maya’s stare, my favourite was when she and carina were on the couch having the conversation about going on holiday, and the way she was looking at carina and the way the lighting was making her eyes look in that scene, it made the look in her eyes during the “but I’d like to try” part a little more vulnerable than it would’ve been if the lighting was different. Yeah that was my favourite scene between the importance of the scene and the intimate lighting

Oooh, that was such a good scene. As you said, the lighting was all intimate and I actually liked that they were away from the bed because as much as I do love their scenes there, this made it not about That, that to Maya this wasn’t just a relationship kept for the bedroom. And she was definitely more vulnerable, this was one of the only times she’d  reached out first and wasn’t just reacting to something Carina initiated. She was testing the ground, not just with Carina but with being open like that with anyone at all. I really loved how even when Carina was like, yeah, Maya checked with her TWICE more.

Do you not watch Supergirl anymore? I stopped midseason 2 the real world comparions ft aliens were so clunky and I also just got bored. Didn’t think it would be on this long tbh but then again except for occasional silliness from Legends when I’m in the mood, I don’t watch the CW anymore.

I stopped at the beginning of s2 as well, while I wasn’t a big fan of Kara/James, I really disliked their reasoning for splitting them up and in the media landscape of 2016 wasn’t really in the mood to trust writers who did that kind of thing. But I do think Melissa Benoist is luminescent as Kara and generally have no particular feelings about it otherwise. 

I don’t mind CW as a network, they don’t do anything worse than the other networks except for being more transparent about it, but the specific kind of drama they love isn’t always my thing.

Hello hope you’re doing well! I was wondering if you could explain what maya meant when she said “I’m the truck” in bed with carina.

Hi, I am! Hope you are too. :>

Earlier that ep, their team had been called into an incident where a drunk pickup truck driver had rammed into a bunch of people. It was a brutal, drawn out call where they had to deal with finding, assessing, and saving multiple victims, several of which ended up dying. She’d also been having trouble with the team, they weren’t happy with her as captain, including Andy, and she felt like she was ruining things at the firehouse. It’s why in the next ep Carina was like, go tell your truth, after which Maya went to the chief and said he made a mistake choosing her and should make Andy captain.

That thing you said about Danielle having an intense stare, or Maya having it, you’re absolutely right. She really looks at you like you’re the only person in the room. I’ve noticed it no mater who she’s having a conversation with. It’s both hot and unsettling lmao

Right!! It’s not really true for Danielle in lives, although obviously conditions are quite different, but there she just looks a normal amount of attentive and friendly, it’s just sometimes on the show she looks really intense when it’s just a super normal scene. Like when she and the others were reacting to Emmett coming out:

Like, okay! It works SUPER well with Carina’s own genuinely curious interest, as that first bar scene showed. I really wish we had footage of that first table read, heh.

I’d definitely recommend DC Bombshells! It’s kind of nice Bc it’s set aside from all the other DC chronologies so it’s a stand-alone and there’s sO MUCH GAY. Like it honestly ruined me for other DC comic runs Bc I was just like excuse me??? None of these are gay none of these amazing women are couples what is this???? But yes def rec. Harley & Ivy aren’t the only greats in them. I still gotta catch up on the end of the run and DC Bombshells reunited but from what I’ve read it’s a great series 1/

Honestly, I mostly bought them on amazon before I really thought about how shitty bezos is as it was more convenient and cheaper at the time… Think I got a couple at books a million and one at a local comic store iirc. If u like digital I think they’re on comixology but I prefer hard copies. Some libraries or hoopla might also have digital copies. (2/2)

Right! I’d heard that a lot of characters that were super straight in the rest of DC were queer in this one but wasn’t sure it’d be worth checking out a temporary blip in the whole of DC canon, you know? And mostly I just wasn’t that interested, the characters I cared most about were in other ships. But now that Harlivy’s becoming a more prominent entity in the different universes and I’m actually liking them, I want to check it out.

And yeah, no judgment, Amazon’s so cheap and convenient but, you know. Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll check them out. For comics, I prefer to buy hard copies so the digital avenues won’t work. I wonder if there are plans for a special collected set when all the deluxe editions are out…

Lmao nerdbro edgelord, that’s exactly the vibe I got and why the show moved to the bottom of my list to watch someday. The first couple eps definitely weren’t the type of content I enjoy. I LOVE Ivy and Harley tho and had thought an MA rating would mean the creators would at least focus Harley/Ivy Bc it’s not a kids show so they don’t have the censorship restrictions but it very much wasn’t that from what I saw lol. DC Bombshells might’ve ruined all other Harley content for me (1/2)

Bc DC Bombshells has Harley/Ivy established from the start but I’m definitely gonna pick up the cartoon again. Maybe I’ll wait to see how the next couple eps play out first tho lol.

Oh, interesting, because I had NO investment in them before I started watching, as characters or as a ship, and maybe that helped? I quite like these versions, though, bearing in mind they are villains and there’s a crazy amount of casual violence in the show. So far, I’m willing to say that the nerdbro edgelordness was a bit of a Trojan horse for at least a soft Harlivy friendship, and obviously probably more. It probably also helped that I started after knowing they’d mostly likely happen in s2 and I very much do like a slowburn.

You know, I’ve heard a lot of great things about DC Bombshells but I tend to avoid the big DC/Marvel titles. When I go on a comics every once in a while it’s the smaller publishers or the limited runs, they’re not so overwhelming with the different series and chronologies and continuities and universes and retcons. BUT. I think I want to try DC Bombshells now, even if it’s a different incarnation of Harlivy. Where do y’all get your comics, since I’m trying to not buy from Amazon? I want the deluxe editions, if possible. 😮
