#mr. sandman

[onyxbird]

Suddenly tickled by the idea of Death giving Dream a mobile phone (whatever magical version can get service in the Dreaming) to facilitate him keeping in touch with his one (1) human friend Hob. (And maybe even making more friends? Hint, hint, little brother.)

She assures him she's taken care of everything. The only thing he needs to do is give this sequence of numbers to Hob (or any other human he wants to be able to contact him). He'll know what to do. Death has already set up everything else on the phone--she even set a ringtone for him!

Dream has never cared enough about human telecommunications to know what a ringtone is, and he's too distracted by insisting that he doesn't need a phone--he and Hob have managed fine for centuries without one--to think to ask about it.

He realizes this was a mistake only later, when he's looming dramatically and impressively over someone as Lord Morpheus, and suddenly music begins to blare:

🎶 "Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream! Make him the cutest that I've ever seen..." 🎶

(It gets through an entire verse before he figures out where the music is coming from.)

[greasy-night-rat]

He's a bit temperamental, but he keeps things professional... Most of the time

I read Sandman as the type to greatly value the separation of work life and home life. As in he only interacts with the other boxers if its for work, y'know. Just a rather private person.

In contrast, his manager is a very sociable and lovely person to work with. Often encouraging/ trying to persuade Sandy to interact with the other boxers, but not in a way that oversteps boundaries. just suggests to go with optional stuff like, going out for drinks and what not.

Essentially "Tall, quiet man and short, social butterfly" dynamic.

[Sandman enjoyers feel free to rant about how grand Sandy is, I'm willing to be sold on him as a character :3 ]

The thought of Hob, totally drunk & still do not know Dream's name, singing : MISTER SANDMAN SEND ME A DREAM

And Dream being like : Weird pick up line

Hob : MAKE HIM THE CUTEST THAT I EVER SEEN –

Dream : it's really bold to try to summon me like that.

Dream :

Dream : Lucienne, tell Mervyn that he must make new rooms. I'm going to the Waking.

long headcanon list of what the Punch Out!! (99.9%) Wii boxers were like as little kids:

!cw: extremely quick mention of vomiting!

• Macho was that kid that was like "1 2 skip a few 99 100" when another kid was on the swings

•Von Kaiser did nawtt play about painting rocks outside of his teacher's classroom

•Sandman preached "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit"

• ^ Macho was the one that threw a fit

•If you got something you didn't like Piston would give you his/trade no matter how bad the offer was

•Don ran the track as fast as he could to impress the girls

•Joe was that kid playing hopscotch that tripped ate shit and cried

•Hondo was a Skechers kids im so sure abt this

•Aran was that kid that mixed all his food together in the cafeteria into some horrible concoction and would tell everybody he's gonna eat it

•Soda Pop was that one kid that would randomly throw up for NOO REASON in the middle of class

•Macho blocked the entrance to the slide and Sandman pushed his big headass down so that everybody else could have a turn

•King Hippo got told "glue yourself to your seat" by the teacher bcuz he walked around too much so he actually covered his seat with glue and sat in it (this one is based off a real life experience i had im dead srs) (he also didn't gaf and walked around with it still attached to him)

•Kaiser was a library kid 4 sureee

•Bear Hugger was the kid that would get moved from his original seat bcuz he was talking too much but when he got moved he would talk to the other ppl around him just as much

bonus high school hcs:

Hoy Quarlow would get into fights and beat the person he was fighting with their own backpack 😭

Great Tiger was the cameraman for the fights and he would be going pro with it . like he got every angle and that cam didn't shake ONCEE

Aran Ryan was in the back of the classroom on FaceTime slurping on some Cup O Noodles and talking as loud as humanly possible + he was always in some raggedy pajama pants

age: 31

height: 6’5” (197 cm)

gender: cis male

sexuality: bisexual (might be in denial lmao. men say theyre fighting demons and the demons r bisexuality LMFAO)

victoria banks, mother, alive

george banks, father, alive

no siblings

HEAD CANON TIME:

- insomniac. goes between sleeping for 11 hrs during the day and not sleeping at ALL, also explains the eyebags in his TD

- incredibly horrible sleep schedule. stems from his childhood

- also stems from his childhood but not exactly the best at socializing w other people

- somehow is friends w glass joe. don't ask me how it works they just ARE (and they may be a little. fruity.)

- has one of those light up squishy things that u hit to change the color. yeah he either fucking SLAMS that thing or gently pats it when he wants to change it. it’s a bunny for anyone curious

- goes thru the 5 min nap to the 5 hour nap pipeline. “oh im just gonna take a small nap,” then wakes up w the blankets all over the fucking room, the god damn windows r open, he’s somehow upside down, etc etc

- him and the ref have beef after his TD victory animation

- was one of those kids that would be on his knees near some mulch playing w the roly polies on the playground. he'd have like 20 in his palms in 5 minutes

- if u catch him right when he wakes up (like. RIGHT right when he wakes up) he accidentally calls people “baby.” it’s a habit he picked up from his mom and he’s pushed it back into his mind, but it slips when he isn’t exactly thinking (totally not projecting my own habits onto him guys)

- adding to the above that the person who originally found this out was glass joe. take that as you will

- he sends some of his boxing money to his parents to support them (he’s a mamas boy LEAVE ME ALONEEEEE)

- doesn’t exactly search for a relationship, believes that when he decides he’s ready for one the right person will find him

- gets dragged into world circuit outings by either super macho man or aran ryan. on the rare occasion it’ll be soda. one time they all went bowling and sandman watched aran ryan throw a bowling ball like a fucking baseball and it broke the ceiling

- knows how to make a MEAN philly cheese steak. will be mentally freak out (positively) if someone mentions they’ve never had one before. if he wasn’t so stoic he would be jumping up and down and going “YAAAAAYYYYY🎉🎉🎉” becuz he finally gets an excuse to make one for someone

- has 100% almost broken the world circuit ring's ropes (see his intermission animation in contender)

- his locker in the locker rooms is either completely spotless or dented to hell and back. bonus points if theres like. a fake succulent in there or some shit

- luvs animals. takes pics of cool animals he sees anywhere

origin backstory thing under cur bc its long

origin:

isaiah joseph banks, known as his boxing alias mr. sandman, was born on april 12th to victoria banks and george banks in the Doylestown Hospital. born to loving parents, isaiah grew up as an only child.

isaiah learned to keep to himself and care for himself very early on, as both of his parents were usually at work. they worked hard to provide for isaiah and themselves, but always put their son first. they

the time they spent at work would be made up at home, albeit this time could never be fully made up for a young isaiah. he had spent more time with babysitters and nannies than his own parents. of course, isaiah knew his parents loved him, but all the bonds that were supposed to be formed hadn’t; the time frame had passed.

the time they did spend together was… memorable, really. not in a bad way, but every moment— every waking minute— made isaiah into the man he is today.

every night, when his mother was home early enough, she would sing him a soft lullaby. when she wasn’t, his mother had recorded this lullaby onto a tape for him to listen to. this lullaby was the song that made mr. sandman: Mr. Sandman by The Chordettes. it wasn’t a typical children’s lullaby by any means, but by god he loves that song— present tense intended.

then, a problem arose: school. starting middle school is one thing, but isaiah found out how cruel children could be.

isaiah was big, to put it lightly. five foot six at age 12 was enough ground for bullying, and being dropped off by a few different babysitters/nannies in the morning only added to the ammunition.

with how big he was, the bullying never went farther than verbal harassment. soft giggling every time he talked in class, glances from across the classroom, the bullying was subtle except for the occasional direct blow to isaiah.

his boxing interest began when he was thirteen, where his parents enrolled him in a self defense class that revolved around boxing and the sort. they had found out about the bullying from the babysitters, as isaiah had been reporting what they had been saying to him. there, young isaiah learned the basics of boxing: dodging, punching, and jabs had been added to his arsenal.

isaiah had always relished in the safety of knowing that he’d never get attacked at school, but unfortunately this was false.

it was brutal really; the poor boy had been caught in the bathroom and was attacked from behind, slammed his face into the sink, and assaulted from there. it took around two minutes for teachers to hear the commotion, but they were two minutes too late.

there, isaiah was brought to the hospital. no one truly knows the full extent of his injuries, minus his parents. if you look closely at mr. sandman, his top teeth are a little crooked.

nothing exactly eventful happened other than he moved schools, and everything was smooth from there.

his boxing career began to take off when he was 17, when he met an old babysitter of his— one who had taken care of him up until he was 13. he had become a boxing coach and offered to take isaiah up as a student.

if you ever ask mr. sandman in an interview about his boxing idol, he’d most likely say his coach. that man taught him nearly everything he knows, and even taught him the dreamland express move that mr. sandman is most known for, albeit modified.

mr. sandman picked up his alias when his coach told him about the WVBA and their boxers. it was almost inevitable he’d choose mr. sandman in honor of his mother.

he had his first fight at age 18, where it went swimmingly well. records of this fight have been lost to time, but, according to word of mouth, mr. sandman nearly killed the poor man.

i gotta be honest w u all idk how to continue this. umm mr sandman meets a wvba recruiter and then uh yah.😁😁😁

#punch out #punch out wii #mr sandman #mr. sandman #IM MR SANDMANS BIGGEST FAN IVE SAID IT BEFORE BUT IT STANDS #AAAAAARRAGHHH #half of this is me just projecting onto him #also can we talk abt his hairstyle in TD like. who is ur barber #bazooka-overkill #bazooka overkill #also maybe hourglass if u squint

[punchoutheadcanons]

An au where all the boxers are doing a different job (any job but boxer) What job will they do?

This is me just going off on a mindless tangent so some of these may or may not make sense <3

Doc Louis: Honestly I would see Doc Louis as a recreational leader/fitness instructor at your local YMCA or community center. He's really down to earth and gives lots of encouragement.

Little Mac: Besides being a student (I personally headcanon him as being an exercise science major in uni), I just think he'll probably work at his local gym as a personal trainer.

Glass Joe: Joe gives me fine artist vibes! He would definitely work as an art gallery director or I could see him as an art dealer!

Von Kaiser: Besides being a boxing instructor, I definitely see him working as a postman/postal worker.

Disco Kid: A choreographer or a back up dancer for a musician/music artist.

King Hippo: The King of Hippo Island, duh!

Piston Honda: I don’t know why…But…A massage therapist. Just going off of vibes.

Bear Hugger: I could see him working with animals, maybe a vet tech?

Great Tiger: I could see him as a professor, I dunno what he would teach though.

Don Flamenco: Television personality of some kind—Maybe a weatherman? I think he has the looks and the charisma to pull it off!

Aran Ryan: Tattoo artist. Also—He’s absolutely covered in them.

Soda Popinski: This was hard. He’ll probably be working in the storage/transportation industry?

Bald Bull: I’m not sure, but definitely a career/job that doesn’t involve the public. Maybe just like a corporate office job of some kind. He still dislikes his coworkers.

Super Macho Man: Reality television personality/Adult Entertainment star! He’s on shows like Love Island, The Bachelor, and Survivor! He makes FANTASTIC television, really funny, really shady, I mean, cmon now, he IS the moment! And uh yeah, he may or may not have been in a couple of x-rated movies…

Mr. Sandman: Something chill and cozy, maybe streaming? I could see him streaming himself playing video games and interacting with the chat.

I’ll do the Super Punch Out cast soon <3
