Description

Disclaimer: Characters owned by DC.

Yes, I understand it's an awareness ribbon. Before anyone, ANYONE, says anything, read this.

A. First off, I had the wonderful CiLc help make this.

B. Yes, it is a red ribbon, and people have said that the red ribbon is meant for AIDS awareness. It's also for substance abuse awareness. For anyone who has AIDS, I apologize if this offends you. But the reason for the coloring is that...

B1. We intended to make it a darker shade of red to differentiate it from the actual red ribbon.

B2. That the arrow symbol was included is enough to say that it's not the same ribbon.

B3. Red is Arsenal's color.

B4. It works in a way, since Arsenal is a drug addict. Again. Damn it.

C. This is for the Bring Back Lian Harper movement, the original being on facebook and the twin group here on DA. This movement was started because of the horrible treatment DC Comics gave Roy Harper and his daughter Lian. Roy had his arm hacked off and Lian was crushed to death in "Justice League: Cry for Justice". They didn't even have a role in the story except for a couple of pages. Now, they're doing a "Rise of Arsenal" miniseries, and from the looks of things Roy's either going to go anti-hero or villain.

C1. Yes, DC has been abusing a lot of characters lately, especially the Titans. But, apparently, Roy and Lian were the straw that broke the camel's back. And then shot in the knee and left in a ditch.

C2. This movement is also to say "no" for the constant use of violent maiming and horrific death angle being used, the whole attempts at spinning meaningful stories out of editorially-mandate shock value scenes. Instead of working hard, they re-hash the same "tortured superhero" formula for immediate gratification and big sales, instead of actually working to add characterization and inspirational stories.

C3. Roy deserves better. Lian deserves better. A lot of characters do.
