#Ivy's babble

[ivystardust]

listening to Hozier while reading the priory of the orange tree is my type of fun on the weekend<3

Stormclan is pretty cool, I’m glad they are a direct result of the clans and not Rouge Group 255674385 that pops up like Minecraft mobs at night

Didn’t ivypool kill beetlewhisker? Will they remember it

The mental image of playing minecraft and Darktail spawns on your roof like a spider, refusing to leave in the daylight and making annoying chittering noises, is magical thank you.

Anyway nah, that was Brokenstar. Ivypool killed Antpelt, not Beetlewhisker. I have doubts they're going to remember that though, and if they do, it'll be one of those "don't worry guys we TOTALLY remember the events in our series!" throwaway lines we've been getting recently. The type that's thought in her head or thrown out in passing, but doesn't significantly contribute to Ivypool's emotional struggle.

I think Ivypool's actually the part of this SE that I'm most apprehensive about, funny enough. StormClan's got me pretty excited, but my hopes kinda started falling when I found out Dovewing was going on the road trip. I do not like the story that the Erins tell between the sisters, and I feel like they keep getting forced together to "reconcile their differences" when it would make a MUCH more effective story for the two of them to not do that.

See, what I like about Ivypool is that she's grudge-holding and spiteful. I LIKE that she tried to leverage her sisterhood with Dovewing in ASC to try and make her manipulate her husband. I find the fact she tried to sabotage SkyClan's chances at the lake back in AVoS to halt Dovewing and Tigerheart's relationship, slighting her apprentice in the process, to be COMPELLING.

I ENJOY reading about Ivypool being nasty. Both a victim of the Dark Forest who was targeted because she felt alienated, and yet, someone who has found a way to use Clan culture's most unfair aspects to her advantage. She'll NEVER see herself as the bully she actually is, because in her eyes, she's permanently the underdog.

so... I just have absolutely no desire to see Dovewing and Ivypool be "close."

Every time it happens on the page, it feels like it's Dovewing desperately wanting her sister to not treat her poorly, or believe in her, or just stop actively sabotaging her life. Then, Ivypool realizes this after a while and displays emotional intelligence that feels unfitting for her character, and apologizes.

It feels forced.

Like it's just happening because the authors know the fans want it, and not actually what these two characters would do. You get me?

I don't want to see them reconnect. I want more bittersweet examples in WC where family members have irreconcilable differences, but now and then, there's that little twinge of love, that old spark that you pray, THIS time, could become a fire... but it doesn't. There's just nothing left to burn.

TL;DR I'm feeling overall meh about Ivypool's Heart but looking forward to seeing what StormClan's all about.

Ok, just as we did with Aranea last time, I have another quick question just because I am curious 👀👀👀👀.

As usual, I have my own personal opinion about this (mostly because I have a whole ass AU bullet pointed for this lololol), but I am truly curious about y'all opinion

And let's bring Batman into this lol.

(And remember, we are not talking necesserily about physical resemblance. This is more about the general vibes of the character).

[batmanfruitloops]

Hey, it's Sars,

I am working on the asks as I'm able (plus Eddie's main references :")) but as Fluffy has stated I'm very tired and my health is wonk. However, I am going to continue doing what I can until my workload can increase again!

So today I am sharing some sketches from maybe a month or so ago. I never really intended to stray much from anyone's current costumes, but I wanted to challenge myself to design alternate versions of some of rogues.

Going left to right:

Music Meister's outfit here was inspired by Rock Operas, especially since MM is a rogue known in canon to have multiple different outfits

Poison Ivy's alternate outfit was actually made official here! One of her inspirations in this au is Venus/Aphrodite, and for the sake of not getting blasted for being in such a state of undress, and also to make her design stand out more, I kept the sheer robe.

Harley Quinn in this au has an outfit that it pretty different, especially since it's a dress (the official design). They're not the most practical for movement, so I pondered shorts and gave her an almost floor length jester hat.

Riddlers 1 & 2

I'm not particularly fond of 1, I wanted it to look more classic but it ended up boring :/

I actually like 2 a lot. Paul Dano's Riddler from The Batman is one of his inspirations, so I wanted to design an outfit that was more practical for movement and storing gadgets/tools. I could never decide how he'd cover his face, as a mask felt out of place

Megamind and Roxanne dynamic but it's Raphaella and Lyfrassir. Raphaella la Cognizi, the dumb-smart mad scientist, and Lyfrassir Edda, the cute reporter/journalist she's always kidnapping. Obviously they fall in love bonus points for any of the following: Marius as Minion, if you can figure out how Ivy would fit into the dynamic because this feels so so so wrong without her she's my wife I love her (maybe Bernard somehow? or just a new character placement period), and BONUS bonus points for a polycule between the four of them.

Today was weird...... I was attacked by Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn at the factory I was visiting for Tim. i didn't know what happened :-(

[ursie]

I’d like to thank not only God but also Jesus 🙏

After sm years of discourse and lesphobia..finally we win

[batsydoodle]

i would like to personally thank Dr. Pamela Isley for her contribution to the sex pollen trope in the batman smut ecosystem, truly dont know what we would do without you girl

[asexualbookbird]

ohmygfuckingGOD correct me if im wrong by all means but i dont think ptsd will make you FORGET WHO YOUR PARENTS ARE

[purpleswift]

still upset that ivy didn’t make the tour setlist :(

[ivystardust]

the female rage has been doing good lately

[bonefall]

Bones you have to look at the wc wiki for lizardstripe cuz it pissed me off so bad

I know. I've seen it. I can't argue with it because it only repeats what is explicitly on the page.

Lizardstripe is a bad woman with no Good, Motherly Instincts who didn't want children and that's why Brokenstar kills people. He's born evil and the woman who doesn't know her place makes it worse.

Raggedstar is not blamed even half as much; the OotS passage only mentions him as a victim and he gets lots of appearances blubbering about how wise and noble he is, and much he loves his Clan as a ghost.

That's what happens in warriors when you resent your "duty as a queen." Not even reject it lol she still DID provide for their physical needs, she just didn't like it. Warriors cats.

These are sister songs. Can't convince me otherwise.

[oatmealdaydreams]

*throws you a piece of paper, it simply reads "favorite band? also you're cool"*

*dashes away*

Nice to meet you, Ivy :D

And thank you <3

Hmm, favourite band? I've got a lot a faves, tbh. Mother Mother & The Crane Wives are some good ones. I also really like Jack Stauber.

Amongst a massive mix-mess of other bands & artists, of course :3

Feel free to chill in my asks whenever! I know sending asks to users, especially ones you find cool, can be nerve-wracking. Anon or not, I always wanna be welcoming to y'all so ya can feel safe here <3

I love talking about music, so don't hesitant to just point at me and say "you like music. talk about it?". I know so many songs & bands & artists, I still surprise myself (lmao).

[also I freakin' adore your url. it's wonderful (/genuine)]

MORE ASKS? YOU BET I WILL

number one: are there any general fun facts about anyone you guys would like to share, but haven't yet?

number two: anything you can share on your poison ivy? i love her. woman of all time

and lastly: are there any lesser-known (or less popular) rogues that'll be in the au? anything yall can tell us about em?

(sorry for multiple questions. this au scratches my brain)

So many questions is not a problem at all! I'm glad to have so many to answer,

Along with being a scientist, Viktor used to run an ice cream parlor with Nora and it was like a winter wonderland come to life. With his freezing expertise, it snows inside and their display window has a snowman built weekly to advertise their business.

They sold all kind of ice cream, frozen treats, and hot chocolate. Also, since Nora and Viktor were unable to have children, seeing so many come into their parlor was a way to vicariously live as if they were able to. After Nora's MacGregor's Syndrome reached stage 4, both of them stopped working there personally.

Cleo, or Ratcatcher, is very asthmatic, and so she has a mask to help with that. She also has an optional pair of goggles that I affectionately call "Boggle-goggles" because boggling is the something that rats do when they're happy. It's kind of like their eyes are vibrating.

Our Creeper is based on a Mandrill monkey as that's what he reminded us of when reviewing clips. Very silly animal brain. He drank all the funny chemicals and now his brain makes coo-coo sounds sometimes.

But of course! When Ivy plant pheromones don't work and she feels threatened, she grows thorns over her body and pulse and move like thorny veins.

Ivy has many sentient plants, but her closest is named Gloria. Mostly inspired by Audrey 2 from little shop of horrors, but also the piranha plants from Mario.

Ivy can photosynthesize, I don't know if she normally can, although eating and drinking food as a human normally would works too and is more efficient.

As for less-popular, or less-known rogues, yes! With that post I released earlier, there is quite the cast. This is also a good time to mention that there will sometimes be appearances of mine and Fluffy's favorite Justice League members and later down the line, the Titans too. This won't be often, but they will be here.

If I had to choose one for now though, I'd love to talk about Lynns, a.k.a. Firefly;

Lynns was born with body deformities that makes them look more bug-like, but also they were born intersex. Like most kids born as such, their parents (mainly father) decided that Lynns was specifically a male and named them Garfield. It didn't take Lynns long to decide that that was not how they wanted to be viewed, and pretty adamantly said this to their father to which, after a lot of trying to "convert" Lynns and a lot of back and forth, backed off albeit begrudgingly.

Because of this, Lynns isn't particularly fond of being called Garfield, or restrictive masculine things, although masculinity itself Lynns is not against. As they grew up most of their friends were pretty supportive and understanding, although there are some who view Lynns as just "Fi" and as a female, but they're fine with that. So long as it's not meant to be offensive.

Lynns had regular old prosthetic legs growing up, but as an adult, Lynns made their own legs that were meant to look more bug-like, as they like appearing that way. Lynns was always a pyromaniac and so they became a pyrotechnic for movies as an adult. They weren't badly scarred and burned until someone else accidently made a trick faulty.

Hope this info-dump is entertaining, :3
