"People tell stories and have told stories for millennia to one another and it's a way of passing on of values and knowledge from one generation to the next, that's just what it is, that's why we're hard-wired to want to tell stories, that's what film and tv are, it's more of that same in a modern media form. And of course one of the natural elements of that is around story-telling we have community building and that's really at its core, its sociological core, that's what fandom is about, it's about community building around storytelling, it's about shared stories that make us identify with one another, and I think that's a powerful and important thing. It's part of who we are as humans. I think a lot of times we think of that as a frivolous undertaking or something, on the side, or an obsession that people have, but in fact I think it's part of our wiring, and it's nice to be able to nurture that in a happy healthy way, which I like to do."

Looking at the Harvey Dent tag recently has been an... Interesting experience given that I've never watched Supernatural and know next to nothing about Misha Collins. But I've been having fun looking at the mishaposting and reading through the tags. After all, they're still posts about Harvey, which is good, and if people are happy and excited over seeing my guy, that that's exciting for me too! Even if it is because of the actor that plays him and not for the character himself.
But while I'm here... Dear Misha stans. I see your concerns of Harvey turning into a villain and how you guys keep saying that you can't imagine actually seeing Harvey as actually being evil because of your adoration for Misha. Well, I just want to say that you don't have anything to worry about. When Harvey Dent is written well, he's barely even a villain. Even after he becomes Two-Face, when he's written well, he really is a character that you like and want to see get better. He remains Bruce's best friend even after committing crimes and Bruce is always trying to help him because he's still likable and is more a victim of his circumstances than anything else. Harvey as a villain doesn't tend to particularly enjoy doing crimes a lot of the time. He does crimes to protect himself, because he feels that he needs to do them to survive, and above everything else, he does crimes because he has a compulsory NEED to. Often, he would like to stop doing them and get better. He doesn't like that he has to do it. But he HAS to do it because of the nature of his compulsions. He can't help himself. When he's written well, Harvey Dent is barely a villain and remains sympathetic to the audience. He's still capable of doing good, but he needs permission to do so from the coin. When he's written well, you should want Harvey to get help and to heal above everything else.
Harvey Dent is supposed to be a good man trying his best to do right by this city that he loves. He rises quickly, and people look up to him, hoping that he can save the people of this city from the darkness that consumes it. Which makes it all the more tragic when he eventually fails and succumbs to the darkness just like everyone else in Gotham.
So I suppose that you could say that Harvey is something of... A fallen angel...? (HAH! I know next to nothing about Supernatural.)

Top 5 Turner scenes in GK to keep with my theme xDD
Using the truth about his bio parents to save Duela <3
Everything about the plot with Joe Chill.
Library bonding/appreciating Duela's honesty in the face of death.
All those little moments of simmering-but-tranquil jealousy when it comes to Carrie's relationship with Bruce. I thought they did a lot for the character(s) and I would've loved to see more of it.
Killing Talon. I love why he did it (to save Cressida, of all people), how he did, and how different the framing is compared to other bat-canons lol.

the call
gk!harvey dent x wife!reader
note: this can be considered a sequel to the last harvey bit i wrote but this is a stand alone too. sort of spoilers for 1x09 of gotham knights, this was supposed to be cute but after watching that episode, i had to write this. i hope you enjoy and please, if you have any harvey dent requests, message meeee!
night had fallen over the city of gotham, and while most were snug and asleep in their beds, you were wide awake.
harvey had yet to return home.
normally, this wouldn’t concern you. the man had stayed late many times before, it was just who he was, and harvey hated bringing his work home.
but today, after the phone call, you were more anxious then ever.
earlier, while you’d been grading papers, you received a call from your husband. it was almost noon, meaning he was on his self-proclaimed “break” where he’d hideaway in his office to give his lovely wife a call and fill her in on the craziness that was his job.
so, when the phone rang, you answered it, a smile on your face as you lifted the device to your ear, “hi harvey.”
“hiya doll.”
you froze. that voice, it sent chills down your spine. it was harvey, yes, but something was different. it was gravelly, teasing, you couldn’t tell whether you hated it or loved it.
“harv?”
“he’s here.”
you furrowed your brows, highly confused. “wait, what-“
“y’know, i think this is the first time we’ve spoken. it’s a pleasure to meet you sweetheart.”
what the hell is happening?
“hey, hon? are you there? i zoned out for a second.” and just like that, the harvey you knew and loved was back. the grit out of his voice, having it return to its sweet normality.
“honey, are you there?”
“do you remember anything that just happened?”
“no, why?”
you’d ended the call quickly afterward and began researching. you were determined to find an answer to harvey’s current condition, anything that would prove something else was going on and not whatever his father had.
but all you’d found is some disorders similar to the late mr. dent, and that terrified you.
but now, at almost one o’clock, harvey walked through the door, looking exhausted.
“you wouldn’t believe the day i’ve had.” he murmured, kicking off his shoes, dropping his briefcase. “rough?”
“you betcha.” he replied, moving toward you, his hands resting on your hips as he pressed a gentle kiss to your lips.
as of now, he seemed normal. you wanted to discuss it with him, but you knew he wouldn’t have the best reaction.
“honey, where are you? your eyes look lost.” he said, a soft smile toying on his lips. you had a habit of “getting lost.” you were a thinker, a dreamer. and harvey was always able to bring you out.
but instead of saying what you truly wished to say, you simply replied, “i just missed you.”
“and i missed you.” he pressed a passionate kiss to your lips again, his thumbs caressing the exposed skin of your hip bone. and just like that, you seemed to forget all about what happened this afternoon.
but as you laid with harvey that night, his soft snores filling the air as he nuzzled against you, you couldn’t help but head that voice echoing in your head:
“hiya doll.”
it was at that moment that you slipped out of harvey’s grip and left the bed, seeking refuge in the master bathroom. you dialed a number and held the phone to your ear, listening to the line ring.
you were greeted by a friendly female voice, asking what she could do for you.
“i’d like to schedule an appointment for a mr. dent, please.”
