Listen, Beautiful Marcia by Marcello Quintanilha. Translated by Andrea Rosenberg. Fantagraphics, 2023. 9781683967774. 128pp. http://www.powells.com/book/-9781683967774?partnerid=34778&p_bt

There's something super slick about this book despite all the pain in its pages. A lot of it has to do with Quinanilha's art; the way his unusual colors don't all have inked outlines seemed to let the images go straight to my brain. The hand-drawn word balloons had a similar effect, thanks to the large format of the book, which made it readable and easy to appreciate its beauty.

This is an adult graphic novel about a mother, Marcia, working as a nurse. She is in a long-term relationship with Aluisio, and both live with her adult daughter, Jaqueline, who is making bad choices and is mostly awful. Shortly after the book opens Marcia finds out Jaqueline has an STI, and gets some free drugs to treat it from the hospital where she works. Jacqueline is angry and says Aluisio gave her the STI (though Marcia doesn't believe her daughter.) Aluisio's support means something to Marcia, but it's not enough; Marcia's only real refuge is her part-time job, where she provides private, in-home care to Dona Cremilda.

There are lots of intense scenes in the book, many of them having to do with local gangs and the violence they perpetrate. But at the heart of it all is Marcia's love for her daughter and Aluisio's love for Marcia.

This is an intense, readable graphic novel by a Brazilian comics creator.

You know, sometimes I feel the only way my adult children will appreciate me is when I am dead and gone. I wish I could see and feel that appreciation, love, and care way before then. #adultchildren #bepresentforlove

My oldest, Michael, just moved into his first apartment on his own (he’s had roommates for years), my youngest, Ashton, and her husband Hunter, are closing on their first home on the 30th, and my daughter Kalyn, and her husband Derek, are moving back to Tulsa from Colorado next month. Lots to keep me busy still but definitely much more happy about these than what’s been keeping me busy the past month or two! 😝 Hope you all have a lovely Sunday!

FUN FACT: Did you know that Chi-Chi got off Gohan's back about studying for the three years of the Android and Cell Saga?

A key thing to understand about Goku and Chi-Chi's relationship is that they don't have a traditional marriage. The anime went to great lengths to try and heteronormalize them as a typical couple who are together because they're madly in love.

But they're not. Goku is very much an aroace character. Like. He's not sex-repulsed, obviously; Gohan and Goten's existence proves that much. But romance and sexuality don't mean anything to him. They're not factors he considers when he's making his life choices. He's not interested in pursuing them in any meaningful way.

Goku and Chi-Chi's marriage is largely contractual. It exists because these two backwoods hicks made a deal when Goku was a child, that he didn't even know the context of what he was agreeing to.

Goku then left and never saw her again for six years. He had absolutely no idea what they were talking about.

Fortunately for Goku, Yamcha was nearby to explain in Goku Terminology what it means to be married.

And that was that. Goku agreed to the terms of living in the same space as Chi-Chi, and their domestic life began from there.

Goku and Chi-Chi's relationship is, effectively, a pantomime of domestic life. They're two adultchildren playing house, moreso than a loving married couple. They had literally spent one day together before they wed; They had no idea who the other even is as a person when they started down this road.

Naturally, this resulted in a lot of friction when Gohan entered the picture. It'd have to, right?

This contractual marriage born of childish stupidity has not gone well.

Still, despite everything, Goku and Chi-Chi managed to reach an... interesting compromise in the Android arc... after a bit of really gross slapstick violence that has not aged well.

Yikes, Toriyama.

Nonetheless, Goku gets his way but only with conditions. Chi-Chi backs off on Gohan's studies and lets him train in martial arts for the next three years. But after that, it's done. Gohan will leave martial arts and become a scholar.

Once the agreement is forged, Chi-Chi's entire behavior changes. She becomes downright supportive of them.

Because they have a deal. She abides by the terms, fully expecting that Goku will abide by it as well.

This is something that the anime aggressively missed the point on. Like. They even rewrote existing scenes from the manga to show Chi-Chi violating the agreement.

Chi-Chi, what the fuck are you doing? You're breaking the deal. You don't do this in the manga. You just chill in the plane.

After things get messy in the Android arc, Goku and Chi-Chi revisit their agreement. Goku wants to add an addendum to their deal. Chi-Chi agrees... with an addendum of her own.

Goku asks to take Gohan into a pocket dimension for an entire year. Chi-Chi grants him that, but adds that after he and Gohan quit martial arts in accordance to the previous agreement, Goku has to get a job.

With that settled, she resumes backing off on Gohan's academics and being fully supportive of their temporary martial arts lifestyle.

Once Cell is defeated, their deal goes into effect. Per the agreement, Gohan quits martial arts and refocuses himself into academia.

Though Goku, at the very last second, manages to cheat on the agreement and prance away like a magnificent poof.

Goku, you cheeky dickwaffle.

Very dumb when a post on here is shit talking about hypocrisy in leftist / trans / whatever spaces and some bitch is shitting and crying going "why are you singling out the marginalized people when right wingers are worse can't you see this is what they want" like no bro a certain level of criticism in these spaces is warrented it's how you keep them alive and accessible, it's not the end of the world of a black person voices their concern with casual / blantant racism in "leftist / queer" spaces that are allegedly made to support them or trans women talking about trans men's penchant for misogyny. A big thing about being a leftist is that you should always be open to learn and accept criticism, cus no one comes out of the womb knowing everything, and quite frankly egotistical adultchildren who shirk all responsibilities are one of many reasons the world is so fucked up in the first place. If you're going to claim to be creating spaces that are a reprieve and/or improvement from societal ills, you're going to have to put your big boy pants on sometimes.

Also, this is the "transgender communist" website so a lot of transgender communists are going to bitch about people in proximity of them, which 9/10 is other transgender Communists. It's no different from, say, working class women talking about working class men's misogyny, or black trans women talking about transmisogyny in the black community. Like of course they're talking about these things, these are their immediate spaces. They're in them all the time and want to feel safe and comfortable. It's really not that serious.

I remember when protests in Cuba were happening in 2021 and people I went to school with who have fuckall to do with Cuba and never seemed particularly well read to me were sharing infographics about how bad the Cuban government is.. they probably watched that show One Day at a Time for adultchildren
