NOW WHO EXACTLY ARE THESE CLOWNS?

blue beetle II, aka theodore "ted" kord, was created by steve ditko and first appeared as a backup feature in 1966 in charlton comics' captain atom series. he later got his own short-lived solo, before the charlton heroes were acquired by DC in the mid-80s and integrated into the DC universe via the crisis on infinite earths crossover event. ted had a solo run in the 80s, but is perhaps best known for being a central and founding member of the justice league international, where he met his lifelong best friend booster gold.
booster gold, aka michael jon carter, was created by dan jurgens and first appeared in his 1986 solo series as the first new major character introduced to the post-crisis DC universe. booster soon joined the justice league international, and has since had two really good solos and featured prominently in 52. he's most well known as the fame-hungry time-travelling hero with a heart of gold, as well as the blue beetle's best friend.
together, they're known for being fun-loving heroes, the personification of the 'bwa-ha-ha' era of the justice league, and one of the best friendships in the DC universe.

i've compiled a catalogue of every single comic appearance of both of these characters, as well as highlighting what i consider 'essential' blue & gold reading. each issue is also marked with whether they're both in it, whether/to what degree they interact, content warnings, and my own personal notes (some of which might even be useful to people other than me).

read it, use it, share it with your friends, and please enjoy!

Update will be tomorrow as per (mostly) usual, but for today I'm showing off another set of character art! Once again, these are all done by Zerovirus, our artist for the project.

This time we'll be showing class surgeon and accidental eugenics advocate Ptolema of Rheeds. Ptolema's design went through a couple iterations, initially being a lot more cutesy and in a more minimalist outfit, as described in the web serial. I wanted her to be more tomboyish, while Zero thought it would be appropriate - and add some visual interest to the design - if her rich girl background was a little more reflected.

So we arrived at this design where she retains her green chiton and period sandals, but with a fancier fur coat and accessories. Again, if you're a reader, let me know what you think!

On November 7, 2024, Denmark used a racist, culturally biased "parenting competency" test to remove a 2 hour old baby, Zammi, from her loving indigenous Greenlandic Inuit mother, Keira, because her native language, which uses minute facial expressions to communicate, will not be able to "[prepare] the child for the social expectations and codes that are necessary to navigate in Danish society." This test had been recommended not to be used at the federal level before this happened but certain municipalities, including the one this happened in, chose to continue to use it regardless. Not only is this blatantly racist but also violates multiple declarations and conventions that Denmark has signed that protect the rights of indigenous people.

Please sign this petition to help Keira to get her baby back.

Hey, it's really important for Keira to get 50,000 signatures on this petition before her court date in early April 2025. Please sign if you haven't already to help a mother and a people stand up to colonialism and for indigenous rights.

help shimaa shelter her family (april 2025)

hello! as some of you may know, @kuuhaiyu and i have been working with shimaa (@itsshimaa200) and her family to provide her with housing throughout the genocide. last month, we were able to raise enough money to fund her rent for the month of march. now that march is ending, we're hoping to do the same thing for the month of april!

thankfully, the rent has remained at a lower price despite the renewed assault by israel on the gaza strip. we are hoping to raise $445 by march 26th, as it generally takes 3-5 days for the money transfer to shimaa's family to take place.

if you have the means, please help us support this family! shimaa is the sole caretaker in her family as her mother was wounded in the genocide, her grandmother is elderly, and her nephew jihad is chronically ill. it would mean a lot to continue to have shelter - it allows her some modicum of comfort and it gives her a place to continue working and earning money for her family.

if you are able, please click through the link below to donate:
