liking a ship but disliking the distinct set of stock fanon that they have been assigned is like one of those punishments dante came up with when he wrote the worldbuilding for hell in inferno

the secret of that ivy post is it's actually a fic ive been trying to write in various forms for like 2 months but it keeps getting yucky where i really want it to be funny. Who would have thought

[alkaloidunderstander]

well. after over a year of trying to figure out how this plot could possibly work out ive finally had an epiphany and so i think it might, Might, finally get written. it's staying yucky, though.

there r many dc comics characters where if u actually read their appearances and look @ the way they are spoken of casually u will start to think everyone else is actively hallucinating. then u will find someone who's also read all that and just didnt care that much & you realize that ur also actively hallucinating just about different stuff

I bought a se.jic cover on accident today because the art was actually good so I didnt realize it was him

poison ivy is so beautiful and breaking so many barriers for being a woman with a deeply annoying arrogant smirk near carved on her face. male dominated field. and she's winning at it

At what moment did Harley realize she loved Ivy romantically?

I just typed out almost my whole response to this and then my desktop site timer booted me out, and the draft didn't save... but I like this ask a lot so I'm back and I'll try to rewrite what I can...

To me this is a really difficult question to answer because of the way Harley treats these kinds of big realizations. She's exceptionally avoidant of her own subconscious.

She probably would first wonder about it upon realizing that Ivy loved HER--which would definitely be soon after that became true--and then shove it back down just as quickly because the question doesn't serve her. In order to both a) think about it without flinching away like she touched a hot stove and b) accept that the answer is (if she’s reached that point) "yes, I do love Ivy" she would have to be in a very comfortable spot in life where she can fully appreciate how much that levels the playing field between her and Ivy, how much more complicated it makes their relationship, and the things it throws into question about Harley's life up to that point. If that makes sense? Like, Harley being the way she is, I don't think it's something she could come to terms with under duress at all. Otherwise maybe GCS #24 would have been different; but instead Harley is faced with the fact that Ivy loves her, & that she does technically have the choice in that moment to walk away, and instead she lashes out because it's too sudden and she (fairly) sees it as an encroachment on her independence/a power play on Ivy's part.

So basically. Things had to have been good. They had to have been good for a while and without any real threat of getting bad in the near future. I think after they've sorted things out between them a bit, Harley is probably better at letting shock and impulse guide her towards good ideas rather than bad ideas. But before that point, it just would feel like someone forcing her into a whole lot of new hurt that she is not ready for.

If we're talking "when in canon could this have happened" ... the most realistic moment is probably like, somewhere in HQ 2013. But. I have not read all of HQ 2013 (#FAKEFAN) & I think a situation like that is the most likely candidate if you're looking for it to turn out well. Me personally, well. I do like when things suck and are terrible and there is an evil little part of me that says "that point pre-GCS where Harley was mostly trying to reform". Which sounds counterintuitive to the above statement that GCS #24 was a result of Harley still not being ready to think about all that, but I do have to stress again that I am aware Ivy was acting fucking insane in that moment, and sometimes you are halfway out of the cage and someone tries to "help you" by grabbing you by the scruff and dragging you out, and, I mean. I think in that moment biting them is understandable!
