concept: Poison Ivy, but written to reflect most of the women in STEM i actually know, not somebody's sexy fantasy
because she isn't a conventionally pretty sexpot, she hides in plain sight to basically everyone - batman included - for a good long while. ('cause that mousy-dressing woman with the glasses is, like, the secretary, right? not important.)
she still makes her own costume out of plants. with pitcher plants.
"nice costume," says batgirl
"thanks, it has pockets!!!" she replies
@wigglytuffitout but... pockets full of digestive enzymes.... ew
@daHob @wigglytuffitout this sounds like how Poison Ivy would roll to me tbh
@wigglytuffitout i need fanart of this _now_
@wigglytuffitout "thanks, it has pockets" is the most real lmao
i mean just ponder Poison Ivy, but with her hair up in a practical bun, sensible boots on (absolutely NO high heels or open-toed shoes are ALLOWED because of BASIC LAB SAFETY), who has made her plant costume into a sensible two-piece with pitcher plants at her hips that she can shove her hands into happily because pockets!!!
(batgirl is low-key jealous. it looks so comfortable! nicely loose! and POCKETS!)
