A contemplation of Harley Quinn

I just wanted to put down a few words on the character of Harley Quinn.  Now, I'm not expert on her by any means.  I know her from the animated series, the Arkham video games and that's pretty much it.  I did read through the wiki page on her which filled in some of the gaps.

Right, so now that you know how little I know I want to postulate the following assertion: given Harley's relationship with the Joker sustains, she will kill him.

Apparently, having just learned this today, the "symptoms" of Harley's feelings towards the Joker can be summed up as Hybristophilia. I'm not going to consider the possibility that HQ and J are capable of love for each other.  Right, so it's more about what makes them cum and not their ability to be in the same room and not need the other to do something specific.

Now, I assume you know something about the Joker and that you feel the same about him as I do.  As someone who is barely human, he cannot need Harley to fulfill a specific need.  She is a convenient focus of abuse.  A willing focus too, which is a good joke.  Now, I assume that HQ&J have never had sex with each other because she is not either maimed or dead.  I cannot believe that Joker would be able to sport a boner long enough to achieve orgasm without severe violence.  Sure, he could exact said violence on another (unwilling) participant but he would not want to share that experience with anyone else.  Sharing a pleasurable experience requires consideration for someone else, which the Joker is incapable of.

Harley, on the other hand, at first, requires the Joker to achieve orgasm.  She has a primal need that requires the participation of a narcissistic psychopath to achieve.  She begins, as generally stated, as an intern at Arkham Asylum, which I may rant on about later.  She "falls in love with" Joker while working with him there and eventually helps him escape.  I can imagine her sitting with him just moistening at the waves of menace.  During the time actively participating in the Joker's crimes she is eventually able to produce the excitement for herself that she required Joker to produce.  Masturbation becomes not only possible but satisfying.  Then comes Poison Ivy.  Now, if it's violence that does it for Harley, then she doesn't need a penis involved.

So, she is able to control her own pleasure and she can receive it from someone who doesn't need to abuse her.  Great, the Joker is no longer needed, so she can leave him behind to lead a more self-actualized life.  One problem, no one leaves the Joker.  So she has two options: she stays with Joker until his abuse kills her, which it will because it must, or she kills him so she can be free.

[rant] Why the fuck would there be interns at Arkham.  It houses the most dangerous people in Gotham, and probably the world.  The least regarded, Zsas for example, has killed dozens and dozens of people.  For fun.  So, what?  They bring in some grad student to... interview... the Joker?  A grad student, who, let's be honest, would fail even the most rudimentary psyche eval.  It makes me feel that her time with Joker was being observed by a third party to just see what the fuck would happen.  I mean, no other explanation would make any sense.[/rant]
