I already dont buy dc comics but i want to make my support for the dc blackout offical abd make sure it reaches dc comics. Aside from signing the petition is there anything else i can do?
as of yesterday the boycott has ended, not because it was successful but because of poor organization and goals being vague. heres the statement from @/JPenumbra on twitter, one of the organizers behind the DCSoWhite campaign.
there was a lot of discourse on other social media platforms about the methods of the boycott and a lot of confusion regarding whether it is a complete boycott of ALL DC comics or just DC comics made by non-black creatives. if you want to look into it just look through the DCSoWhite tag on twitter since i think it would be kinda inappropriate for me to insert my opinion on the discourse since im not an organizer for DCSoWhite or black. im just a reader who wants to get the message out :]
but!! while the boycott is technically over, the DCSoWhite campaign is still trying to spread awareness regarding racism in the comic industry. the best way to show that you want black stories and more black people in the writers room is showing up for black creatives and black-centred stories. adding works made by black creatives to your pull list when you go to your local comic store is a great way to show support. even reviewing and reblogging panels or anything promoting comics centring black characters or made by black creatives is great!
heres a few DC recommendations that feature black creatives or characters if you feel like checking out some DC stuff. Most of the creators have work elsewhere for different companies or have independent work that you can check out if thats more your style.
- New History of the DC Universe: The Dakota Incident (2026)
released in february of this year, this one shot features static shock, icon, rocket, beacon, and hardware. the creative team is majority black with an all black writing team
- Zatanna (2025)
written and illustrated by jamal campbell (who was nominated for an eisner this year), this ongoing is so beautiful and campbell is doing it all himself which makes this run even more impressive!
- Boy Wonder (2024)
written and illustrated by juni ba, this was my first ever comic and ba's unique style and storytelling is absolutely stunning.
- Far Sector (2019)
written by n.k jemisin and illustrated by jamal campbell. this run is all about sojourner "jo" mullien, the first black queer green lantern! far sector has a compact collection which may be more accessible for people to read
- Absolute Green Lantern (2025)
illustrated by jahnoy lindsay, this run focuses on absolute universe jo mullien and leans into the cosmic horror aspect which is something that always hits different in comics
- we are robin (2015)
duke thomas' debut! he's got so much character and i think he's one of the most interesting robins. best place to start reading his stuff since a lot of his more recent stuff (wfa :( ) does him dirty
and some other upcoming projects to keep an eye out for:
- wonder woman #35 and #36
guest written by stephanie williams (who was nominated for an eisner award this year) with illustrations by clayton henry. these two issues focus on a retelling of diana's origin as wonder woman! i believe it should be available for pre-order since it comes out in july
- Justice League: Dream Girls – A DC Pride Event (2026)
for pride this year, instead of an anthology DC is doing a mini series! issue #2 has a story written by morgan hampton featuring jo mullien. it should be dropping some time this month. also this mini is written by two trans women who are not black but with current events (cough cough and the GFM thing cough cough) its important to support queer creators too.
- Absolute Catwoman (2026)
a mini series from the absolute universe, co written by che grayson (who is black and nonbinary so its great for pride month :]) that follows absolute selina kyle who is afro-latina in this universe! releases june 10th
- upcoming stephanie williams project (speculated to be vixen solo?)
theres very little known about this new project written by williams but she has been teasing a new DC run. announcements are pending but she has been hinting to some new stuff on threads and asking people to come out and support the run when it is announced
this is not an exhaustive list, im sure there are many more comics made by some fantastic creatives. if anyone has other writers/artists that they want to add on feel free!
again, im not an organizer or a representative for DCSoWhite, but i wholeheartedly support their mission in getting more black creatives in the DC writing rooms and having more mainline continuity ongoings focused on black characters. keep an eye on the organization (they tend to be more active on instagram, threads, and tiktok) for more news directly from them and follow black creatives on social media to learn more about upcoming projects :]
I want us all to remember that the boycott ending doesn't mean that the need for change has gone away. It's still ridiculous that DC doesn't have a single Black-led ongoing in the main continuity. That still needs to change and we have to keep talking about it.
did u know it has been over 1200 days since there has been a DC mainline ongoing series led by a black main character? because of this there is an ongoing boycott of DC comics, heres a screenshot of the official statement:
heres the petition mentioned in the statement:
#DCSoWhite: End the Black Superhero Drought
and for more info on the boycott check out this site:
DCBlackout - a DC Comics boyocott.
because of this, i wont be promoting/supporting any DC runs from made by non-black creatives and i encourage others to do the same. use ur voice and show DC that we want black creatives and black stories!!
I hope to achieve the level of peace this flower Quit has.
(Here's part 1 for anyone who hasn't seen it)
💬 13 🔁 593 ❤️ 1005 · Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream but with 60 clones of the same guy · I've been loving the hell out of Living the Dre
Part 3 is out!
I posted the first day of my little "60 of the same guy in one island" experiment expecting absolutely nothing. But oh my god, you guys absolutely LOVED Quitland and the 60 Quits! So of course I'm following up with day 2, and boy howdy did things sure...happen...
When I started this experiment, one of the things I was really hoping for was for some of the Quits to really make a name for themselves. As in, they'd become so memorable that I'd remember specific Quits and what number they are. Well...that definitely happened today.
Meet Quit 35.
do not be fooled by her cute stance.
This Quit did absolutely nothing yesterday, all she did was ask for some clothes. But this morning she decided it was her time to shine by falling in love with Quit 38:
She did so by accidentally bumping into her, how romantic...or so I thought. If this was all Quit 35 had done I wouldn't have bat much of an eye...but then literally FIVE MINUTES LATER...
Don't be fooled: they may look identical, but this is an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT QUIT Quit 35 is falling for! Quit 10 to be exact!
Quit 35 spent a grand total of 5 minutes being interested in 38 before falling in love with a completely different Quit! I couldn't believe my eyes! To decide which Quit she should have a crush on, I flipped a coin and it landed on Quit 10. So poor Quit 38 didn't even know a Quit liked her before 35 changed her mind...What's her goal? Is she an alluring Quit attempting to create her own Quit harem? Or is she just really fickle? Are these "romantic bump incidents" all just fabricated by 35?!? Needless to say, I had my eye on 35 all day...I guess we'll have to wait and see what she does tomorrow.
To make this even more confusing, 35 constantly had an entire mob of Quit following her around...I guess they were as curious about 35 as I was...or are these members of the 35 harem?!?
OK, enough about 35. Let's move on to some other Quit developments, starting with Quit 48 and Quit 28. I talked briefly about these two at the end of yesterdays post, and all I had to say was 48 had a crush on 28. The two weren't even friends yet, but today...
28 wanted to be friends with 48! 48 didn't even have to do anything for their crush to get some development, how nice!
I hope it works out for 48. Go for it, 48!
...Because our current relationship between Original Quit and Quit 3 is in a bit of a sour spot...
I'm not sure what's going on between these two, their conversation is apparently sickeningly sweet...but Quit 3 is "not getting along" with Original. I haven't seen them fight or anything, and Original LOVES 3...so I'm not sure what that's about.
It's so bad, Original Quit is on par with 40 and 2 on the relationship chart, who are just acquaintances! That's rough.
(Oh, and I've been giving some Quits little quirks as they level up, usually befitting of the actions the Quit has taken. Quit 3 was the first Quit to establish a sweetheart, so I figured the cute stance fit them. Although now I'm not so sure...)
Other then relationship stuff, I decided the reason my Quits were so stupid yesterday was because they lacked culture. Maybe some high quality media will expand their minds and make them less simple (spoiler alert: it didn't). So as their benevolent God/friend/father, I decided to bless my children with Quit Culture.
^ This one I had actually made yesterday during the tutorial, but I was so tired it looked like shit. So I redrew it today.
(If you guys have any funny ideas for custom items of any kind, let me know and I might make them!)
Oh...and...uh...one of the Quits asked for a pet...so I...
I don't think we need to discuss this further.
...Anyways, I realized yesterday the video I added didn't include any speaking Quits. So you guy have no idea what they sound like. How about I fix that:
...I'm not sure what you were expecting Quit to sound like, but it probably wasn't this.
Finally, the last major thing that happened today was that I got curious. I've spent the last two days interacting with Quits every few hours, so plenty of Quits have gotten something unique to their name. Whether that be clothing, a new house interior, friends, etc etc...but has EVERY Quit asked for something?
I decided to look through every Quit and find the most untouched Quit...the most perfect, untainted Quit...and I found...
Quit 45 has not asked for a single thing. They haven't had any interest in other Quits nor have any Quits had interest in them. They haven't had a problem that I needed to deal with, they haven't wanted a style update or some food...they are completely blank. I believe they are the only Quit who's like this, so we'll have to see if Quit 45 continues to be blank or if they find a niche to fill.
That's all the big stuff! A decent bit happened today, I'm still absolutely loving this save file so I don't plan to drop it any time soon (although I'm not promising daily uploads, you know how life can be).
Yesterday I started the post with a multitude of Quits just doing random Quit things, so I think I'll end this one with a few more random Quit images:
And that's the end of that! I'm still blown away by the positive reception yesterdays post got, so I hope you all enjoy this one too! If anyone has any fun suggestions for me to try (like custom items or island designs) let me know, or if anyone has any questions about the island or any specific Quit I'm happy to answer!
As a thank you for making it all the way to the end, here's some gifs I made from videos I took yesterday. Use them carefully, as they hold immense power.
To be a girl child is to be constantly angry
during her robin run she was just not skilled enough not trained enough not smart enough and being both the first girl robin and replacing her well respected ex and being surrounded by built greek gods while you're a teenage girl TM with minimal experience has got to be aggravating and frustrating af. trying to prove her worth to bruce while never being enough and that drive for being more and being enough getting her killed. ahhh steph brown my little guy
