mutantwanda:

women’s shelters specifically for mutant women because regular women’s shelters will turn away mutants. black mutant student organizations. bumper stickers that say “jesus was a mutant.” kids stenciling t-shirts with “magneto was right,” “jean grey died for your sins,” “mutie freak,” queer mutants making jokes about being superior homos. the creation of mutant cultural events and rites of passage such as naming parties for kids just coming into mutant identities, particularly those who have been kicked out of human families. kids going by mutant names on tumblr and arguing about the difference in experience between visible and invisible mutations. mutant punk rock. mutant zines. 

So, tonight I’m riding back home on the train- sketching as per usual and about 20 minutes into my commute I feel this gentle tap on my shoulder. The gentleman who’s been sitting directly behind gestures towards my drawing and says:

‘That’s really great!’

so I probably turn eight shades of purple and stammer ‘thank you’ at which point he asks me:

‘are you an industry professional?’

I shake my head no

‘An art student?’

‘Um, at one point’ (like 11 years ago. thank you again, random stranger!)

‘You really don’t draw comics?’

‘I mean, I do, but nothing is published’

‘Oh? I ask because I worked in the industry for 10 years’

*dumbfounded stare on my part*

‘Darkhorse?’

*I am now technicolor*

‘Well, this is my stop! If I see again maybe we can talk shop!’

I have never been so thankful that I wasn’t drawing porn.
