Reblogging in honor of Marjane Satrapi, one of THE great graphic novelists. Her comic Persepolis was a crucial text for shaping my belief that comics can deeply explore identity, culture, politics, and history.

the way ppl talk about latinas is kind of very gross if I'm being honest

they're like reverse Asians bro they're all stacked and they're fiery mamacitas who you can break like a horse and make into domestic servants who love family

"bro I need a big booty latina" bro I need you to kill yourself

you're not getting attention from me for coming on here saying they do it to themselves. you are just getting the block button

basically the best thing any character can do is decide they don't want to be afraid anymore - in fact they never want to be afraid of anything ever again - and take action so drastic they fail to realise that this too is a decision motivated by fear. or to account for the Consequences of that.

[with obvious perverted intent] hey. don't you want to release the safety catches on that character. don't you want to flip off all the switches holding them back and let the control rods go.

the thing about growing up with siblings in an abusive household is that ultimately you're each other's jail wardens and whipping boys and that does things to you no matter how much you sincerely love each other and understand why it happened the way it did and wish you could have been big and strong enough to save both of you

it's just inevitably going to be difficult to reconcile the love you feel for the other half of a bear trap clamped around both your legs. is the thing.

mostly i do god knows what

caul serrikane the character ever. rolls up to a gangster and is like. fuck your pronoun circle, my gender is I Just Wanna Get Paid. I'm gonna kill myself for money, resurrect me in an hour. every day I dream of murdering my dad. btw here's a severed head I carry around in my designer bag, she sings me to sleep. I'll tell your dead employee that you said hi. *drinks poison and dies horribly*

fascinated by the fact that mr serrikane and sore morel--despite likely having been on different sides of the war and very clearly having different opinions towards the ruling government during the time of the story--are such similar figures in their families. both not quite in touch with reality, both prone to losing their temper, both disabled by the same war, both alienating their children with their behavior (especially their bigotry), both totally unable and unwilling to stop under any circumstances. no amount of pro vs. anti government will stop you from being a bigoted father whose hatred and unresolved trauma is killing your relationship with your family! patriarchs are still patriarchs no matter what their stance on the sitting government is! god, i'm so happy owhe exists. writing is BACK!!!!
