a quick preview of my timeline and association with other rogues i’m planning on elaborating in my children book-like prose once i get rid of these acrylics and before i forget it.
basically miss pherotox & i wanted to give sense to that one gotham city sirens panel where she faces a decaying ivy in her cell & offers her friendship, just for her attention to be misplaced after on a beaten up joker. canonically, she didn’t face him professionally after a year of working at arkham, which i used to think was a lot but now gives me the perfect opportunity of filling the gap to have her request treating poison ivy in the meantime. after a couple of months, ivy’s escape attempts grew in competence, which the staff never linked to harleen quinzel for ivy is skilled enough on her own to scheme a breakout, which maintained quinzel as her doctor since she had yet to attempt murdering her & despite the getaways, isley’s general attitude had improved.
if you’re wondering: yes, ivy had managed to manipulate harley into occasionally letting her “stretch her legs” because “plants need sun & fresh air”, prizing her with compliments, validation & the sporadic girl night out, where she’d allow & encourage her to experiment her very own villain costume.
all this was turning into a constant thing until pamela snapped at her one night, which made harley realize her true role in the non-romantic dynamic. the morning after pamela got caught once more, a new doctor greeted her in the room, peering through the door’s small window the joker on his way to harleen’s office. following this change, both of them traded nothing but resentful glares, come the day she was caught helping the joker escape the 20th time & was public both of them ran away with her new identity as harley quinn.
the henchwench stage happens, which i’ve already talked about a zillion times, however, we’ve decided on twisting that ivy helps harley survive the fatal wounds only to kill her after, which she almost succeeds on ‘til she apologizes & explains her new sown hatred towards the joker. i’ve also plotted with my pal prisonraised that after poison ivy enhances her completely, she seeks a job by his side, gathering enough money & connections in case the joker ( or ivy, even ) decides going rogue once more.
this is as far as i’m willing to stray from canon for us harley quinn fans were blessed with a rather interesting, multifaceted & complex background before the new 52 happened. thank u for ur attention.
