#anti poison ivy

[wanderingmind867]

Is it bad that I just want batman's villians to triumph over him? I want batman to fail. Honestly, some days I want to imagine him snapping and becoming the villian while they end up the unlikely heroes. Because with some exceptions (like how I don't really like poison ivy), I find all of batman's villians so compelling. And just... I know I'm supposed to hate joker, but I can't. He's funny, and he's clearly mentally ill. Let's not even touch on how Mad Hatter, Riddler, Mr. Freeze and Two-Face probably all embody aspects of my personality. But these people are all more fun (and usually more sympathetic) than Batman. Either find them a better hero to fight, or make them the heroes and batman the villian.

I think it's really sad that the most prominent bisexual women in DC are an eco terrorist rapist, and a child murderer.

Do better DC. This is horrific.

Anti-Ivy

Sam tried, she figured introducing her mentor to her best friend would be a good idea, Danny didn't have radical ideas or a green thumb but his heart was in the right place, that had to count for something!

Unfortunately Danny's ice core was not compatible with Dr. Pamela and her plants, as people they get along, they even liked each other, but the poor flowers could not stand subzero temperatures near the boy

So they made some kind of compromise, since Danny was temporarily living in Gotham they figured it was best to avoid every confrontation. Every time they saw each other on the street and Ivy was surrounded by plants, one of them would immediately leave the scene.

That didn't go unnoticed by the bats, but the boy wasn't doing anything wrong, maybe he was part of Ivy's past they didn't know about?

Dick started calling him "The Anti-Ivy" as some kind of joke, Jason followed naming him "Green repellent", and everything continued the same as always (with Tim freaking out because all the images of the boy were corrupted and his trackers were damaged the second it came into contact).

The assumption that they hate each other continued while the guy was on a girls night with Selina, Ivy and Harley.

Maybe one day the bats will notice they're friends, Selina bet they never would as Ivy waved her glass at Danny who sighed, poured a few ice cubes into the drink with Harley calling him "Portable Freezer" in the background. Sam was happy at least.

Danny runs to Gotham after a reveal with his parents gone wrong. Bruce Wayne ends up catching on to the fact that he's a homeless kid in need of a good home. Danny, however, does not want to deal with another rich, potentially-insane, definitely-obsessed A-hole, so he does his best to steer clear of him. Doubly so when Batman takes an interest, as he want to put his hero days behind him.

Eventually, Danny, sick of running and wanting a way to make the two stop hunting him, decides that he should let someone else adopt him instead. Cut to him being found by Harley Quinn, who decides that she should totally pull a Bruce and adopt this black-haired, blue-eyed child. Hopefully Ivy won't mind!

Just saw a post claiming Poison Ivy was made by Neil Gaiman and I am not letting that shit fly. Poison Ivy was created in 1966 by Robert Kanigher and although Neil Gaiman wrote a (disgusting and misogynistic) comic about her in the late 80s, saying Ivy was created by him would be like saying Harley Quinn was created for the first Suicide Squad movie. Like no that is not her origin that is literally the worst version of her

God, Medea is so awful. She might be worse than Gaea, honestly. Gaea is like how Marvel portrayed Galactus. She's evil by mortal standards, but she's so immense that she operates beyond conventional morality. Just as Galactus needs to eat planets for life, Gaea is just trying to get revenge on her grandchildren for what they did to her children. Mortals don't even enter the picture in any sense. And we can argue morality all day and all night (personally, i think there's peaceful resolutions for galactus. If we can find a way to clone planets for him or leave him in the negative zone or whatever), but these beings are a little bit beyond conventional morality.

But Medea… Medea was mortal. And she is a bloodthirsty psychopath who killed her own children, killed her ex-husband's new wife, and now is trying to kill Jason and Leo, who are adolescents! Even from the fields of punishment, she ratted to Gaea about a vision she saw of Leo, and that led to Gaea killing Leo's mom. So if Gaea is like Galactus, Medea is like if the Silver Surfer was a bloodthirsty witch.

Medea and her aunt Circe are perfect examples of evil, and I wish them nothing but the worst. May their flesh be turned to mulch and their bones ground to powder, the psychos. And you know… Poison Ivy reminds me an awful lot of these two. She feels like she belongs in their insane charm speaking killers club. So maybe we should just let Hades/Pluto and The Spectre have their ways with these menaces. I hate them with every fibre if my being, and reading the medea chapters of the book really messed me up. Same way reading the Circe chapters in the sea of monsters made me despise Circe.

I still wonder how this'll affect my interpretation of Reyna and Hylla, when I get to them. Because they worked for Circe. And unless you really didn't know how sick Circe was…then you might be guilty by assocation.

Jason doesn’t strike me as the type to care about team sports but I think it could be good for him to get recruited for basketball at the park or some sort of adult softball or baseball league. He would get to have something in common to bond with regular people over. He could to prove his competence and physical ability and be a valued part of something, an opportunity to learn healthy ways to work with others where things get resolved without violence! No one has any power over anyone else and everyone is treated as an adult and an equal! I’m not a doctor but I prescribe rec league sports 1-2 times weekly.

It started when Jason fell in with a group down at Robinson Park whose regular Tuesday night scrimmage overlapped with his weekly tea with Ivy. Jason didn’t even like soccer, but when Derek sent a rogue ball crashing through one of Ivy’s prized rose-bushes, Jason had to claim the group was with him in order to save them all from her wrath. From there, Suze badgered him into joining her adult rec league. They hosted a tournament every spring, and her team was down player (broken leg from Freeze’s rampage through North Gotham—seeing as Jason played a starring role in the inciting incident, he felt more than a little responsible). During halftime at the quarterfinals, Lu couldn’t stop gushing about her plans for coaching that summer, and, naturally, Jason was curious. As it turned out, all the municipal parks hosted summer soccer leagues for the local kids except for the one on the border between the Bowery and the Alley. Sure, the thing was more weeds than grass at this point, and both the goals were missing nets, but it was field nonetheless. When he asked one of his more reliable henchmen, Tom, who had both a literal pack of children and hadn’t shut up doing the World Cup the year prior, it turned out the parks department couldn’t find an adult without a felony record who could commit to regular practices. Tom shuttled his kids to Concord three times a week to play (which conveniently also solved the mystery of why Tom was always trying to swap shifts around after the schedules were posted). So that’s how Jason ended up coaching a dozen scrappy 9-13 year olds through the basics of soccer every Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday from 3-5 PM under a newly created alias. Somewhere between anonymously donating an excess of equipment to the youth league and cashing in a favor with Ivy to rehab the field’s grass, Jason decided maybe he really did like soccer.

You've talked about Talia's history of SA but have you mentioned Ivy's? Genuinely curious, I'm not calling you out or anything.

I haven't talked about it no.

This is mostly because, my primary DC character that I follow is Jason Todd and Ivy plays a much smaller role in his story and the fandom around Jason doesn't really touch on Ivy all that much.

But fuck it I'm here now so I'll talk about it.

Now full disclosure here.... I like Poison Ivy.... as a villain. I personally feel she does the ecoterrorist shtick that the League of Assassins has going on 100 times better. But in terms of like actual morality, she is still a piece of shit and I like that about her. She'll sell every man, woman, and child to the devil if it meant a weed could grow a few inches taller.

But where Ivy's real moral bankruptcy comes into play is her complete disregard for boundaries, consent and AGE. Ivy is the femme fetal stereotype taken to its most extreme, even James Bond would tell this chick she needs to chill.

Ivy's history of sexually assaulting men makes Talia look like an angel in comparison.

Now the difference used to be pretty clear. The story always framed Ivy's deeds as wrong (perhaps not always to the extent they should have since she very often mind controlled, rapes and/or sexually assaulted and traumatised many men, including a very underage Dick Grayson on more than one occasion) BUT it was at least acknowledged she was not in any way right for doing this. Bruce or Dick or whoever weren't meant to be shipped with her.

Unfortunately, there is a.... trend nowadays to try and exonerate Ivy of her crimes due to her popularity alongside Harley Quinn. And because Harley gets to pretend to be redeemed, Ivy has to as well. With retcons of "Bruce WANTED it" and shit like that. Yeah, no, I don't buy it.

Poison Ivy is an abuser, she's not the cool aunt to the Bat Family. She's a dangerous, badass eco-terrorist who would gladly see people choke so long as her and her plants thrive and that's way more interesting than her just being Harley's girlfriend and the Bat Kids weird Plant Aunt.

love that an environmental terrorist also hates paper straws. anyway

[Video ID: A clip taken from an episode of Harley Quinn, an animated DC series. I can’t remember which one. It starts off with Harley and most of her friends being pulled into the Phantom Zone. Off-screen, Harley’s scream is audible. Wonder Woman is holding Poison Ivy by the throat, who yells “Harley!” She grabs Wonder Woman’s Lasso of Truth and wraps it around herself, shouting “Make me tell the truth!” Wonder Woman snags the end of the Lasso and asks, “Poison Ivy, did you do this?” Poison Ivy, who’s holding a chain of her friends, says, “We didn’t do it. We aren’t responsible for the tree monsters. I secretly watch NASCAR.”

As she continues speaking, the camera switches to King Shark and Clayface, then Superman and Wonder Woman, and finally Harley and Doctor Psycho, who are all clearly shocked about this. “I take long showers. I think paper straws are stupid and get too soggy. I was excited for Jazz-Fest.” Ivy groans in pain as the Lasso lights up and adds, “Fine. I was very excited for Jazz-Fest.”

All throughout the video, whistling wind can be heard, coming from the vaccuum-like force of the Phantom Zone. /end video ID)

This isn’t completely related to Lily, but after reading your break down of her Harley Quinn show video I’m curious what you think about Mikaila’s opinions on the Eat, Bang, Kill! Tour comics. I went looking and I think the video was deleted so if you can’t find it then I’d love to hear your opinions of the comics if you just want to talk about it. From what I remember of the video Mikaila was mostly just gushing about how pretty the art was and good the comic was aside from having a slight issue with the pacing.

(I’m interested in reading comics and this is one I was planning on picking up so now I want to know from someone more familiar with comics if it’s worth the read).

I haven't seen Mikaila's video on it, no. Though I like the art too, I'd say. Me and Mckail at least agree on that (look at us gals, getting along.)

It is a tie-in comic, which really limits the span of time and things even that can go on (and even then, there's some stuff that contradicts other stuff that goes on in the show) during it's run, so keep that in mind. With all that said . . .

That comic was probably not for me. Not that I hated it, I didn't. My reaction was more or less, "Okay, cute. Cool." And then I gave away my copies because I knew I wasn't going to read them again.

I'm just not really a person into romance in general, and that's what the comic was for, and all they could really do with it. There is a plot and stuff, and it was perfectly suitable from my recollection. No new characters are introduced, I don't think, and it's just expanding on plot elements from the show. Again, tie in comic. It probably wouldn't really do much for someone who hasn't seen the show, but that's fine.

Lily is right that it's more Ivy's story than Harley's. But again, no shit, it's a tie-in comic. They more or less can't add anything since the third season was in development at the same time, and she's the fucking main character. But it dives a little deeper into Ivy's past relationship with Catwoman, it expands on some of the fall-out with Ivy and Kiteman's wedding fail, etc.

If a sapphic rom-com with superheros sounds like a good time to you, maybe you'll like it. Again, I feel like I'm very much not the person for that comic, and unlike SOME PEOPLE WE MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW WHO'S NAME STARTS WITH AN L AND ENDS WITH AN ORCH, I can admit that.

I'd recommend this video for better insight:

Read on Ao3

Steve woke up with a gasp, trying to sit up but his body remembered that he was carrying one other passenger. Getting up wasn’t exactly an easy thing to do anymore. He laid back down in the soft dirt, a little drowsy and confused. Right, he had gone to the abandoned botanical garden just a few miles from his apartment. He hadn’t been searching for it at the time, just driving around to get a feel of the place that would be his home for the next couple of months. Steve found it after getting a bit lost wandering around. The place had been barren, with patches of dead grass here and there, the once vibrant green vines and leaves scattered around wilting and crying out. 

So he helped them. Helped them flourish to their original state and covered the windows with material that kept the harsh sun out, also bringing in fresh soil and fertilizer as plant food. Partly because he wanted to learn more about the local flora, but also because he wanted a connection. He didn’t have anyone with him in California, refusing the Byers’ offer to come live near them when they were being relocated.

 Sorry, temporary relocation , they would be back in Hawkins around this time as well. It was just so the federal government could deal with the aftermath and the backlash of Starcourt.

Guess the government wanted everyone where they could see them. In Hawkins, Indiana. Steve wasn’t even sure if he wanted to go back. He always wanted to leave Hawkins, even if it was going to work at his dad’s company in Chicago. Somewhere, anywhere that wasn’t Hawkins. He didn’t want to be stuck there, a washed-up high school popular kid that peaked in high school but was just nothing in his adult life. 

That scared the shit out of him.
