Masterlist: Harlivy Excerpts Leading Up to Poison Ivy (2022-)
See below the cut for links to my posts excerpting relevant Harley & Ivy content from Everyone Loves Ivy up to the start of the current Poison Ivy run. If you're a completionist like me, I've already done the hard work of combing through DC comics from the past few years to get the full context for Harlivy's current relationship in Poison Ivy & Ivy's emotional state/the state of her powers.

squidward probably only goes for DL guys because he hates himself and that’s why SpongeBob really irritates him because he’s openly gay and happy with life
it can look corny but I love scenes of ultramans interacting with humans. the point of ultraman is that he's the size of a kaiju but the shape of a human and he always fights for humans. it's good to see him letting people ride on his hand or blocking attacks for them bc it emphasizes this unique aspect of ultraman (being very large)
love a thumbs up from any hero but especially ultraman. the moment of connection between an ordinary human and a huge and powerful alien being is something that can be so beautiful

*= While Discotek have done incredible work for Kamen Riders V3, X, Amazon, Stronger, BLACK and BLACK RX, becoming the definitive subs for all those shows; those are of course... pretty expensive blu-rays. And admittedly Amazon and Stronger aren't out yet as of time of writing.
I advise you to support the official release if you can, but if you *can't*, well; the website we're all looking at for these... if you type in "kamen rider" and sort by file size, you'll find a big huge one with everything that'll let you get those titles by manually deselecting everything and then selecting specifically those. BLACK's subs are even the Discotek ones! V3, X and Stronger really didn't have great subs until Discotek though, so be advised on that
