"cool!"

(ID in Alt)

she moves! this is not great, but it's my first real attempt at animation and I pretty much went in blind, so i learned a lot, and the end result is not terrible considering. next time, i'd want to focus more on having her hair move more naturally.

another lil harlivy sketch bc they are too precious. (harley has some very important matters to discuss)

[shoesofthefishermanswife]

what's one of your harlivy headcanons? or maybe a time when ivy first learned her flowers change in response to her emotions?

okay so i just listed a bunch of little headcanons here

but for the second question:

in short, they started to respond to her about a week after she got her powers

if you want to know the whole story about the lab accident, i’ll put it below

ivy wanted to do a fancy chemistry experiment that she thinks will produce a material that will help her plants grow. unfortunately, the elementary school science lab wasn’t really stocked with anything more than baking soda, vinegar, and food coloring, so she needed to break into the high school’s supply closet.

to accomplish this, she talked to the rambunctious little pigtailed girl in her class. she and harley team up and broke into the high school after hours. all goes well during the break in, but the were issues with ivy’s calculations, and the safety gear she needed (and tried to use) wasn’t sized for a 10 year old.

the experiment blew up and she got seriously hurt. so to save her, the green gave her powers. she woke up having turned green with vines growing on her limbs.

she was pretty stunned after the accident, so it was a week or so before she started to emote intensely. in that time, little buds started to grow on her vines and in her hair. the first time she really laughed after the accident is when they bloomed fully. after that, they began to respond to her emotions.

the whole thing is subject the change but that’s my current take on lil ivy’s origin

what’s the head canon for the lil harley n ivy you can’t get out of your head rn!

hiiii lee!!!

some lil’ harley and ivy hcs:

they’re 5th graders

but harley is a year younger bc she skipped a grade (which is one of they ways i always explain how she’s got both in phd and an md by 26)

harley has a little gap in her teeth which she’ll have for another couple of years bc braces are expensive

on top of gymnastics, harley does baseball in the spring which is where she gets so good at using a bat

also she cannot sit still bc she’s 9 and has a very hyperactive presentation of adhd

they’re too little to have separate classes by subject but ivy likes science class and harley like gym. they both like recess but for very different reasons

(like harley runs around playing tag or 4-square and ivy walks around fixing the school’s poor garden care)

also i’m calling her ivy here bc i cannot in good conscience call a kid born that recently pam

like normal ivy got her powers in a lab accident/experiment gone wrong (but in a much friendlier way, obviously i’m not including child r*pe or child drug use)

they commit age-appropriate crime! :) (like petty theft and destruction of property)

every time they have to list their ages ivy goes (i’m 10 and she’s 9) and without fail harley will go “and a half!” like she cannot believe ivy wouldn’t include it

harley will always try to reference cartoons and it is lost 95% of the time bc ivy watches only watches like documentaries

they can sneak out for shenanigans bc ivy’s parents are too rich to care and harley’s parents are too poor to have time to monitor her 24/7

they have a living tree house bc ivy was not about to cut up a tree to build one

selina is also there i just have to come up with a design for her that doesn’t suck and it’s not been easy (and then the design will influence what she’s up to)

but yeah she’s a pickpocket

i’ll probably add to this when i remember/think of some things
