* POWERED『 ― dread it. run from it. destiny still arrives for you, pamela isley . poison ivy is said to be thirty-six years old and she is a villain / antihero associated with the gotham city sirens. on good days they can be passionate but catch them on a bad one and they’re vengeful. on that note, don’t they kind of resemble jessica chastain ? 』( k / she/her / 19 / est )

this ooc intro is nothing compared to uma thurman as poison ivy walking in dressed in a pink gorilla suit, but i’m k and i am very excited to be here ! i haven’t played ivy in too long and i’ve been missing it ! tbh i,, lowkey just,, pull from arcs and verses i like,, so with that said,, here we have an ungodly amalgam of new 52, gcs, life and death, and no man’s land !

( triggers: abuse, murder ofc, drugs, martyrdom? )

ok so we love the new 52 bg

ivy, at the time pamela ofc, was born with a very rare skin condition that made it so she was unable to go outside without an extreme prescribed lotion. 

but that was a problem because she loved gardening! but back to that later-

her father was... very abusive ( y’all who haven’t read her n52 bg just WAIT for it ), but always ‘made up’ for it by bringing ivy’s mother flowers after hurting her. she began planting the flowers with ivy and told her about the healing process flowers essentially induced. we love a nice mother/daughter relationship.

well, one day, this child was minding her own business when, lo’ and behold, her father had killed her mother and buried her in their garden.

y’all see what i mean by “WAIT for it” i was shook to my core.

skip somewhere around a decade later because dc isn’t the best at full coverage and her father’s in jail and she’s in college, selling pheromone pills in an attempt to see if they ~manipulate the mind~ as she theorizes they might. bada bing, bada boom, she gets caught and is on the verge of expulsion, but manipulates the dean and graduates with two (2) honors.

karma who?

update: what the fuck how did i forget to mention that she visited her father in jail one day, applied a special lipstick, and gave him a kiss before leaving?

you see, this is important because the next morning he was found dead.

oh man we stan.

shortly after, she went to work for wayne enterprises in the biochem division, but was fired pretty quickly considering her pills were... lmao immoral? 

however, there was a mixup with security and, while she was beginning to pack her things up, they came in to take her away and wow! get rekt! her compounds spilled all over herself and wound up turning her into the antihero/villain we know today ! they fucked themselves over on that one !

anyway, this is always really weird to type, but ivy essentially became... half human, half plant. i have had to type ‘half plant’ plenty of times in my life, but it never gets comfortable.

so now i’m gonna hop around a little bit and kind of just gloss over other notable arcs that i love and plan on incorporating, but aren’t as Important™ as the bg itself !

since i haven’t had the opportunity to talk much with the lovely harley and selina muns yet, we stan the gotham city sirens !, but getting their full take on it would be A1 before i... really dive in, ja feel ?

that being said, i’ll skip to ivy’s arc in no man’s land/aftermath of no man’s land, aka the arc that really just... sucker-punched me.

again, glossing over it, basically everyone wanted to force ivy out of robinson park after she’d taken it over in no man’s land. but ivy is the lorax, she speaks for the trees! 

but staying inside was basically a suicide mission, what given that their final solution would be spraying it with an INCREDIBLY strong herbicide, thus killing all plant life and... she’s half plant. they said multiple times that the solution would kill her too.

“i prick you with thorns and you respond with lead. isn’t that the very heart of the problem?” “some thing are worth dying for, batman.” BIIIIIIITCH this arc just GUTS me every time.

but, you know, given that she’s still alive........ one of the children she’d been sheltering managed to convince her to leave the park........... by also almost dying.

stan list.

as for life and death, i’m not planning on acting on the whole “obsessed with finding a way to have children” part, but the career ? the passion ? the way she ruined her friendships and (wbk) relationship to pursue her cause ? hell yes.

everything else?

i put her at a 5/6 on the kinsey scale. largely more attracted to women, but some men can get some.

obviously manipulates men the most, though. 

harley’s mun and i haven’t been able to speak much yet, but we do love some canon harlivy in this house, yessir we do !

on that note, fuck the joker.

honestly we could use a real life poison ivy with the way climate change and all is going today which really brings me to that link in the ‘antihero/villain’ part (i am so funny you guys). she’s obviously an extremist, although it has dulled down some, but she isn’t hurting or killing with no cause. all she wants to do is save the environment.

if al gore were a woman with superpowers...

i found a ‘tag urself: poison ivy’ and we’re going sharp, war flashback, and emo. 

but also tag urself im thuma urman

i feel like... most people know what her powers are. we love plants. we love pheromones. we love a connection to the green.

catch me in the woods trying to get a plant to communicate with me.

alright ! i think that’s about all i have for right now ? 

thank u for bearing with me ur all treasures and feel free to either like this or hit these DMs to plot !
