Summary

If Joker was gay and not abusive, what might his friendship with Doctor Harleen Quinzel have looked like? Perhaps Incorrect Quotes can give us the answer.

Notes

I read a weird comic where Doctor Quinzel referred to Joker as Patient J, and he referred to her as Doctor Q. They seemed to be on friendly terms in that comic.

Chapter 6: Halloween

//During a brief period when Harleen had a crush on him

 

Joker: Wha' d'ya wanna be for Holloween?

 

Dr Quinzel, slyly: Yours.

 

Joker: ...

Joker: ...Yeah, yer right, dat would be pretty scary.

Dr Quinzel has been trying to get him to talk about his feelings for weeks. She is completely willing to use a joke to her advantage.

It is the most effective method when it comes to him, lol.

Most quantum physicists get stuck around dimension ELEVEN.

Joker, I mean this in the nicest way: what the heck!?!?!?!!?

Arukir Author via AO3 2024-08-04

Well, he is both insane and capable of perceiving the fourth wall, so who knows?

They could also give him the sweater and just tie it like a straightjacket if he starts slapping people. He'd probably think it's hilarious.

Arukir Author via AO3 2024-08-04

Oh, he'd definitely think it's hilarious.

I haven't seen much real DC stuff, so good to know! This was all adorable. (This is a really good ending spot, but I think you forgot to mark the work as complete.)

Arukir Author via AO3 2024-08-04

I did forget, thanks for pointing it out. 😊

Oh stars, I completely forgot I added a rant to this. 😂

TheGreenInYellowJournalism via AO3 2024-08-05

It's a really good and informative rant though!

Arukir Author via AO3 2024-08-05

Glad you liked it, then.
