Yeah... I Dunno About Laugh But I Did Squirm And Scream

Perhaps nothing could be better for me then read some small discussions about Johns mental growth at the Saturdays evening👌🌚 Thank you so much fellows for sharing your thoughts!

I’ve been thinking about John Doe and how his characterization in season 1 differs so much from what we see in The Enemy Within. I mean, in season 1 he was genuinely creepy. He was antagonizing other inmates, and then there was the whole thing with Zsasz and the knife. (Plus there was that thing with the key that never really got explained, but that’s a conversation for another time.)

I was wondering if perhaps it was just a case of Telltale not quite knowing what they were going to do with him yet.

And then it hit me. Of course John was creepy and all messed up. Harley’s right about him still trying to find himself and work out who he really is, even in season 2. Now imagine him trying to do that in ARKHAM. Who the hell was he going to learn from and take cues from? Victor Zsasz? Arnold Wesker? Thinking about it like that it’s a wonder he wasn’t more unstable when he and Bruce first met.

And hell, no wonder he was so excited to meet Bruce and so eager to help him out. Even ignoring the fact that they actually do have a lot in common psyche-wise, Bruce is probably the first person that even approaches sane that John has ever really interacted with who isn’t a member of Arkham’s staff.

And no wonder he fell for Harley like he did. Probably all she needed to do was smile at him and call him her friend for John to get attached. It was probably super lonely in Arkham, especially for someone like John who didn’t even have memories of friends or family.

It’s all kind of sad really, and it makes me hope that Bruce and John can have something at least approaching a happy ending even more than I already did. 

Can John Doe/Joker just be happy, sipping his frappe with Bruce? Can that be an ending please?

They’re in love your honor 👑📻❤️(and I’m in love with them too). In case you ask yes, I’m planning to do all of them or at least the most recurrent characters 😊

I really do love John and Batman Telltale as a whole but every time John mentions Harley in a romantic way (which is a lot from ep2 onwards) a part of me dies a little.

I sincerely hope his, ugh I hate to even call it that, “love” for Harley stops being brought up in the last episode. I want him to focus on discovering himself, realising he never needed/loved Harley in the first place.

and potentially realising that Bruce was his true love all along 

Happy Valentines Day! 💌

A goodbye hug? Bruce is so happy XD

I have some more stupid stuff with them, but not sure if I should post it 

I'm gay.

Me: Mom, I'm gay, I like girls

*Dru appears in scene*

Also me: Mom, I like girls and Gru too

My mom: But I knew that you're heterosexual

Me again: Nope, I'm D r u s e x u a l now

My mom: ... You're crazy, but I still love you

Batman: The Enemy Within - Episode 5

Okay, I’m gonna talk about this. The cafe scene is a favourite, but I wanted to monitor Bruce a little, looking at his body language. In the first gif, when he did an impression of Harley, he blinks a lot and looks away. This suggests feeling awkward, which is understandable, he’s playing pretend with John.

The second gif I love, because it screams smitten to me. He’s completely relaxed, but not only that, he makes himself appear smaller, more petite or frail. He’s also smiling and diverting his eyes. I don’t know if writers were going for this, but that’s how it looks to me. Honestly, it’s adorable.

I find myself thinking that perhaps, JUST PERHAPS, this is when Bruce starts to see John as more than a friend, even if he doesn’t really know it yet. The whole scene is brilliant (provided you pick the “be yourself” choice, so rip me, but the other one is good too). The writers did say that this “date” was important, and that John might not be after just Harley’s feelings.

I am starting to believe that up until ep4, it’s us as players to decide if we have developed a friendship in John, and with what happens in ep4, how important is that friendship, and if we choose the right choice or not.

So basically these two are the only reason I’m reading Green Lantern: New Guardians. Also, I will always draw the GLTAS version of saint walker because I believe it is the most adorable version.
