Well, he was raised Catholic, and then those years in the hospital cemented it into his mind. After all, if he didn’t have his faith and those little rules and his own explanations of “evil”, he couldn’t think of himself as sane at all, could he?
That, and the whole father-being-possessed-and-hurting-him-as-a-kid thing, its pretty strongly implied to be sexual in nature since we don’t see him getting beaten and then he burns the house to the ground with his parents (and baby sibling?) inside.
Actually the sexual crimes were committed toward his sister Tristan. This made him burn down their home. His twin sister is now a monster herself… 🙁 Poor Tristan
I should have known that Remi would have deeper dimensions, revealed alongside Arthur’s struggles with his internal conflicts, while down the hall… OMG. The quality of Writing is only rivaled by the quality of the Art. Throughout this chapter, we have been treated to a demonstration of Mastery. Thank You A anf K!
By all that is good and right in this world, I need happiness is this relationship or I will flip my shit. I just want Remi and Arthur to be happy (somehow)!

I just thought of something… Arthur can’t accept his sexuality. To him homosexuality is a sin and it was the same sin that he burned his father for (granted, including incest, but I think the same sex coupling is at the heart of how he sees it). To accept being gay would be to admit that he murdered his own father. And I don’t think he’ll ever be able to live with that (and therefore will never change his views).
Poor Remi!
Wouldn’t killing be a sin too? why would he be so upset about this one?
on a side note: I wonder what kind of shirt it was? 😛
Indeed it would be, and I think he would be equally upset/repentant/reluctant to kill someone, which is why he doesn’t kill “people.”
Killing people is a sin, yes, but Arthur is quick to point out that they don’t kill *people*.
Is not Arthur´s day…
what has happened to arthur to still think in such a way??

Just to clarify: Actually, no, it wasn’t Tristan on the receiving end of the abuse. Poor Arthur. 🙁
Yep, I can see how that would make coming to terms with his sexuality difficult. 🙁
Is that Arthur CRYING??!! LOL… Zoom. in. ASAP. Please 😀
He is so conservative religious he can’t stand his own feelings :/
So Arthur love Remi?
Arthur and Remi sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g
Frankly, I don’t see how that is appropriate for this page…
(I take my comics very seriously, no offense intended.)
OMG, Remi has so much feels in so few words… And we all thought he was an emotionless robot when he’s just been mistreated!! *cries*

Aww. 🙁
You can’t make them so cute and then make them unhappy. It’s forbidden by law, and if it’s not, it should be.
Did Arthur just get dumped?
How old are Arthur and Mary supposed to be in the mental hospital and now?
Moar!
update please!!!
its too bad Arthur’s gay he’s hot lmfao
He’s also a drawing, so I think you’ve got bigger obstacles to worry about…
your point is??
You’re stupid.
he is super cute…
