If you think that Dream takes a tactless tone with Lyta in the series, I can tell you that it is even worse in the comics

Dream, why are you like this

Dream, I love you and you are only hurting yourself

Interest Check for Appreciation Event of The Sandman’s Black Characters

Hello! A few of us are trying to put together a fandom appreciation event for the Black characters of The Sandman. It would most likely run for about two weeks. We’re planning on making it a very broad sort of appreciation event, so as to include as many people as possible. So, participation is not limited to just fics and art (although those are extremely welcome!!). Participation can look like metas, headcanons, even memes—anything that centres around this beautiful cast of characters we’re so lucky to see on our screens.

We currently do not have any Black fans on our organisation team, but it’s important to us that we change that! If you’re Black and interested in helping run this event, please feel free to reach out to @tryan-a-bex or @wordsinhaled.

Okay the main reason that you should read Infinity Inc. Do you like cute college students who are fun together? Do you like found family? Do you like your favorite characters being friends forever and nothing bad happening to them at all? 

Well TOO BAD! If you read Infinity Inc. your favorite character has a 92% chance of either dying or going evil! You will love these stupid children and you will be so upset that DC refuses to have an actual full Infinity Inc. Reunion and instead decides that every few years former members should attempt to murder each other. 

For characters you have: Boy with daddy issues, other boy with daddy issues, gay angry boy with daddy issues, (unfortunately not canon gay yet) boy with EVIL daddy issues, and 7’6” himbo. It’s just... daddy issues all the way down. Also sexist 1940s man who is incredibly annoying. Jennifer-Lynn Hayden, or Jade, who you should all know, and frankly I think if your only exposure to Jen is Kyle Green Lantern you should be OBLIGATED to read Infinity Inc. I have seen some awful stuff flung around about her by Kyle fans. “Jade is only important to comics to tie Kyle to Alan and since she can’t do that properly she might as well stay dead” and that’s just what I’m willing to quote. 

Read Jennie-Lynn RIGHT NOW to properly appreciate her or learn to keep her name out of your mouth. I say while shipping her other ex with her dad and her brother. 

Lyta Trevor who has been through so much and deserves so much more than being hated because of Sandman, you do not know Lyta and you have not read her struggles, how dare you, I am assigning you the homework of Read Infinity Inc. or shut up. 

Okay that is the big sexisms it’s time to get to the big homophobias, or both. Hey remember how the mini series that Beth and Yolanda were killed off in either heavily implied that they were dating or ramped up the sexual tension so much that it seems that they are. I think you should read Infinity Inc. and join me in demanding that Geoff Johns brings back that relationship. Yeah it would be cute. 

Read Infinity Inc. now to fall in love with the cutest college age idiots you’ve ever read, ship a ship that is definitely considered problematic now (it’s Hank and Todd I don’t mean problematic problematic I mean, my god people are weird about non-canon gay ships involving canon gay characters, they just have a ridiculous amount of UST and you have to understand Hank was absolutely in love with both twins you have to you have to), be destroyed by the only death in the main series as you learn to care about them all, and also read further in the main characters lives and see the horrible shit they all but especially Hank gets subjected to... 

I forgot someone...

MOST IMPORTANTLY 

Infinity Inc. is the origin of this meme!

Infinity Inc. (1984)

I think it deserves to be included. But really I love all the characters so much and it's such a cozy read. I feel like no one reads it because it's old and JSA-adjacent (BOO! Read for the old men you cowards!) but I really cannot overestimate how much the characters are likeable and fun and also how mad you get at what DC did to them afterwards and also WHAT DC DID TO ROY THOMAS WHILE IT WAS PUBLISHING, literally treating him so badly and then going ""well sales aren't growing and are staying the same so I guess it's cancelled :/"" like THEY DIDN'T FORCE HIM TO REMOVE HALF THE STUFF THAT MADE IT SO GOOD IN THE FIRST PLACE. Also Roy Thomas wrote the best bisexual man being in love with opposite gendered siblings story ever and I know it was an accident but like... I need more people to read it so I can feel validated about this...

John Constantine: Hellblazer (2020)

A perfect revival of the Hellblazer brand which adapts it's themes of apathy and rebellion for the modern age. John's written the best he's been in years, mean and rough around the edges but a secret softie

Grant Emerson and Hector Hall, Damage and Fate

After unlocking his mystical abilities on Thanagar, Hector was able to combine his Nth metal-modified Reach tech with the magic of the Lord of Order to expand beyond his previous role as Silver Scarab as a new Doctor Fate.

Grant's just vibing, they're pals, in the addition of Hawk-Atom team-ups of old

Injustice: SuperMoves

Here’s the supermoves that I have come up with for the characters of Earth-66.

FireWing (Jake Grayson)

StarBolt Fist: does a short range StarBolt “shockwave blast” stunning the opponent to start it. Jake then throws a smoke bomb in their face to distract them & then does the spilts & punches them in the crotch, causing the opponent to hold that area. Jake does a backwards roll back onto his feet, charges up a StarBolt & runs & punches the opponent causing a green explosion.

NightStar (Mar’i Grayson)

StarBolt Fury: Mar’i flys at the opponent with a double fist punch. She then uppercuts the opponent, sending them to space & mar’i unleashes some starbolts at them. After that, she quickly fly past the opponent & charges up a StarBolt in her hand & presses the energy ball into her opponent sending them back down to earth.

ThunderHeart (Irey West)

Better than the West: Irey shoulder charges her opponent. She then strikes her opponent multiple times with her super speed, & the camera gets real close to the opponent’s face, & on the side shows Irey’s. Irey then gives the opponent a wedgie, & she giggles.

Surge (Jai West)

Here comes the Boom: Jai unleashes lighting onto the ground to hit the opponent. He then rubs his hands together really fast to create electricity & starts thunderclapping at the opponent saying: you’ll get a thunderclap!

WonderBoy (Robert Long)

Bring the Thunder: Robert does a dashing slash at the opponent. Robert then gains blue electric hair & eyes & tackles the opponent (raiden’s move from MK) & flys them into the air. He quickly moves above his opponent & says: “Thunder!” A lightning strike hits the opponent & sends them back to the ground.

Red Cat (Lian Harper)

Bow-and-Baton: Lian does a baton spin at the opponent. Lian shoots a boxing glove arrow at the opponent’s face, sending them onto their back, & Lian gets on top of them & starts hitting them with her baton. (Yup that’s it XD)

Kid Tempest (Cerdian)

Purple Pain: Cerdian launches a water ball at the opponent. Cerdian shoots fire at the opponent, knocking them on their back, he then jumps up into the air & shoots purple laser beams causing an explosion.

SunSlinger (Jon Kent)

Sun-Noon: Jon does a super/freeze breath at the opponent. Jon whips out his revolvers, twirls them & aims the opponent, (camera shirts to fps) Jon moves the gun & shoots the opponent: foot, knee, & shoulder, knocking them onto their back. Jon then superleap towards them & charges up his gun & launches two shots at them causing an explosion.

Robin V (Damian Wayne)

Lazarus Assassin: pretty much Damian’s super move from injustice 2 but with a green aura around him XD

WonderLad (Hunter Trevor)

Pretty much the same as Robert’s but red/orange; god of war mode. Shouts War & a meteor hits his opponent.

AquaBoy (Arthur Curry Jr.)

Pretty much Aquaman’s super move from injustice 2 but with a megaldon shark instead.

HawkBoy (Hector Hall)

Sky Hawk: Hector does a downward slam with his mace, hitting the opponent. Hector grabs the opponent & takes them to the sky, & starts hitting them with his mace in different directions. (hawk girls super move from injustice)

Green Canary (Connor Lance Queen)

The Green Canary (XD): Connor does a short burst canary cry & hits the opponent. Connor shoots a bomb arrow into the sky & another at the opponent knocking them on their back, connor then uses the canary cry on top of the opponent & then jumps away to safety when the other bomb arrow comes down to hit the opponent causing an explosion.

PhantomWing (Chris Kent)

The Nightwing: Chris does a short burst heat vision that hits the opponent. Chris then wraps his opponent’s legs with his dark powers & slams them on the ground behind him & back in front of him. Chris flys into the air & summons the NightWing entity & it shoots out a giant blue & black ball of “dark flames” at the opponent causing a blue explosion.

StarChild (Otho-Ra)

Star Wrath: Otho-Ra does a flying blue energy “Superman punch” hitting the opponent. Otho then summons a blue energy sword & a shield that’s in an S symbol shape & begins to attack the opponent with them. After shield bashing her opponent, knocking them fall on their back, she jumps up into the air & shoots out blue heat vision at the opponent causing an explosion.

Red Son (Osul-Ra)

Fight Master Fury: Osul-Ra does a flying red energy “Superman punch” hitting the opponent. Osul-Ra summons a red energy battle axe & begins hacking at the opponent. After the final hit, the opponent is laying down on their back & Osul jumped into the air & slammed the battle axe onto the opponent, causing a red explosion.

Valor (Connor Kent)

Brave Rage: connor does a short range telekinetic blast & hits the opponent. Connor then grabs the opponent & flys to the glaciers & slams the opponent into it, & starts rapidly punch the opponent as fast as he can. He then finishes the beat down with a blast of heat vision causing an explosion. (The beat down at the glacier is from the tv series Young Justice where superboy beats down mammoth.)

Animal Girl (Maxine Baker)

Red Rage: just cheetah/vixen’s super move from injustice 2 but with a red energy glow around her.

Animal Boy (Clifford Baker)

Same as his sister’s.

Red Bird (Mara Al Ghul)

Demon Assassin: pretty much just like Damian’s but with a red aura.

Nobody (Maya Ducard)

Nobody Assault: Maya does a short burst Sonic blast at the opponent. Maya takes out a sword & starts slashing the opponent, & then turns invisible. The camera shifts towards the opponent & shows Maya behind them. She then kicks the opponent in the crotch, dropping them to their knees & Sonic blasts between their head. (One hand on one side & another hand on the other side.)

Beacon (Kathy Branden)

Purple-Telekinetic: Kathy does a short range telekinetic blast to hit the opponent. She then lifts & throws the opponent into the air (with the background changing to a farm) & quickly flys above the opponent & blasts them down. Kathy then does a massive shockwave released from her Body.

Crowly (Colin Wilkes)

Pretty much his “punch fatality” from the mortal kombat post of mine except more kid friendly. (He does get big & grabs the opponent & “super-punches” them across the screen to start it.)

FlameBird (Suren Darga)

Flaming FlameBird (XD): Suren does a short range fire blast at the opponent. Suren “summons” the FlameBird & they both grab the opponent & fly up into the air, the FlameBird does a pose in front of the sun & then Suren does a energy wave sending the opponent to the ground with a FlameBird logo. (Think of Liu Kang’s dragon symbol after you preform his fatal blow from MK1)

[arabian-batboy]

Okay, but imagine: Doctor Fate, Black Adam & Hawkman of this generation.

Infinity Inc. boys

[cantsayidont]

February 1983. In one chapter of WONDER WOMAN #300, the Wonder Woman of Earth-1 finds herself on Earth-2, where she learns that her older Golden Age counterpart married her world's Steve Trevor in 1963 — and meets their teenage daughter, Hippolyta (Lyta) Trevor. Unlike the Earth-2 Batman and Superman, there was never any story describing how the Golden Age Diana and Steve finally came to marry, beyond their brief explanation to the Earth-1 Diana in this chapter. Their daughter Lyta subsequently fell in love with Hector Hall, son of the Golden Age Hawkman and Hawkgirl, and the two became founding members of Infinity, Inc. as Fury and Silver Scarab.

The Crisis on Infinite Earths banished the Earth-2 Wonder Woman and her husband, who were taken off to Olympus to dwell among the gods, but Lyta remained. This unfortunately required her to receive a heavily revised origin that made her the daughter of Helena Kosmatos, the newly invented Golden Age Fury, later raised by Joan Dale Trevor (an obscure Quality Comics heroine called Miss America) and her husband Derek Trevor, a retired admiral. It could have been worse — as Neil Gaiman soon demonstrated in SANDMAN, where Lyta was subjected to relentless abuse that also apparently made her off-limits for non-Vertigo DC books until around 2006. (I certainly hope Roy Thomas got some media royalty checks for the recent use of the character in the awful SANDMAN TV show, although if anything it's even worse than the comic in its treatment of her.) All very grim, and in retrospect, it might have been kinder to just kill Lyta off like Helena Wayne.

[can-of-pringles]

Wait I never thought about it before. I can't remember. Did Dream send Hector's ghost/soul(??) To the sunless lands or did he straight up completely remove him from existence

Wait he was a ghost right?
