Poison Ivy's Powers
🕑 Added 2025-09-30 22:27:29 +0000 UTCIs this the first time Poison Ivy has played with her powers just for herself? Most certainly not. But it is the first time a reporter has been allowed this close, camera in hand, as she experiments with what it means to be both bound and connected. Vines wrap snug around her calves...not as a trap, not as punishment...but as a reminder that nature and humanity are intertwined, inseparable, bound together in ways we forget too easily.
Her most impactful quote from our interview?
"People always imagine nature as something we have to conquer or control, but the truth is, we’re already part of her design. The bonds you see here aren’t chains. They’re connections. The tighter they hold, the stronger we both become. Humanity thrives when the planet thrives. Isn’t it beautiful to imagine us growing together, instead of tearing each other apart?"

I'm deeply inspired by G. Willow Wilson's ongoing comic of Poison Ivy. Especially in the earlier volumes she explores climate doomerism and Poison Ivy's relationship to the everyday person as she wrestles with her own problems. There is one issue in particular that really inspires me. In it, she finds a hope-instilling project that changes her orientation to tackling the problem. Time and time again, when I think Wilson will falter in her depiction of this wonderful character, she instead turns it around and re-inspires me.
I left you with some additional photos: two shots from G. Willow Wilson's comics that capture some essence of what I was aiming for, a picture of her quietly thirsting after women, and a shot from last year before adding a plant wall in Photoshop, and after.
Oh, and that last one? Just a little sneak peek for what's to come.

Thank you, Beerbash :D I actually did the calf binder pics and the year old ones 100% by myself, from (the very simple) rope work to the photography and photo editing. The photo in the chair and the "traditional" Ivy shots in my other post was shot with another photographer, Entangled Humans.

Yo this cosplay is perfect. I could see you getting cast as poison ivy in a movie this fits your general aesthetic perfectly. And great job by your photographer with the shots. Did SeraFern shoot these? Wonderful work
