Thank you and I am so sorry you had a REAL demon for a grandmother!

Dear @gailsimone.bsky.social; as someone who's been called a demon and beaten by my paternal gramma and aunts for being a demonic little sinner, (undiagnosed autistic and still closeted trans child), I dearly and sincerely thank you for this.

With zero context this single page brought me to absolute tears.

And THAT, friends, is why following Gail Simone is one of the things I missed about Twitter when I torched my account a couple years ago, and why I was delighted to be able to follow her again here.

Amen to that!
To all of this!

This scene ranks with the "Regan on the ledge" scene from All-Star Superman.

Great work. You brought a tear to my eye....

Well SHIT I already welled up a little the first time I saw this page, now that's bringing me right back there and hitting twice as hard.

Kurt is an absolute treasure.

Good ol' Kurt. I never thought he looked demonic. Since when are demons blue and fuzzy?

People who are complaining about the X-Men suddenly being "woke" confuse me. Are we reading the same comics???

analoren.bsky.social•83 days ago

it baffles me that so many people can claim to love the X-Men and not understand the message of love, patience, tolerance, and the celebration of diversity. I genuinely do not understand it.

Out of all the characters you've picked up with this book, I think Kurt shines the brightest.

I hate the way people treat each other...

Honestly, it's the best X-team book out there right now!

This is why we create. To help others. 🥹

Oh you have no idea. My mom says when my sperm donor was 12, Gramma Jean made him shoot his pet cat because she hated how loud it yowled to get in. My sire and aunts and uncles never had a chance at being well-adjusted adults.

Well, hell -- now I'm crying.
