"Which level of insanity have you reached ?"

I just opened Canva and made a divorce certificate for Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr...

I believe that @fancychaostraveller cherik propaganda is working a little too well. I am now stuck in a brainrot.

Look at that thing, it's magnificent. Also yeah, Erik signed nothing, @fancychaostraveller said it better than me :

#cherik #xmen #erik lehnsherr #charles xavier #beach divorce #divorce certificate #i created a divorce certificate #on canva #for cherik #in 2024 #i have indeed reached insanity #you can say it #or call a therapist #whatever you prefer #my friend got me stuck here #and now i'm regretting it #(i am not) #Charles “you abandoned me” Xavier #vs #Erik “I signed nothing” Lehnsherr #are they really divorced ? #who knows

question for the X-men comic nerds (affectionate) is collosus' metal form cold? like if he was in his human state and flipped his skin to steel would it be skin temperature still or would it be cool?

#xmen #x men movies #x men comics #piotr rasputin #collosus #like I get if he was in his steel state for a while he'd probably be cold but if he was just flesh then would he be warm still? #asking for............ reasons #blah blah you can do what you want in fanfiction. ok look I once spent two days tracking down the year that potatoes became common fare in #wales for a fic I prefer for things to be Accurate

Stan Lee may have been the only person who understood the X-Men. Because I legitimately think no one else understood them but him. Stan Lee's X-Men hid their powers when in their civilian identities (at least initially), which makes sense! If they're meant to be so actively hated and feared, this makes sense! Nowadays, they seem to have mostly ditched this. Which is a shame.

Also, I wouldn't say the X-Men work great as a metaphor for race. You want to do stories about racism, ableism, whatever, make more characters of colour or characters with disabilities. Here's a quote from a person who wrote an online post critical of the X-Men. I won't speak to how good his whole article is. But I do want to share this quote: "The most appropriate metaphor for the original Stan Lee comics is probably invisible dimensions of power such as LGBT issues or religion." I think they're right on that one note, and so I wanted to share this quote.

(X-Men: the Animated Series, s3 ep19)

my silly wiiiiiifeeeee🥰🥰🥰🥰

he was only out of costume one other time, for like a short scene at the end of s5 ep6, and they changed the model to be more similar to the recent basement arc comics

#xmen the animated series #sabretooth #victor creed #LITERALLY ONLY LOOKED LIKE THIS IN ONE SCENE........ #i prefer the first design tbh. i DO like the 2nd one(A LOT) but the 1st looks more on model for the show yknow #also like. yall see the eyeliner right.

Finally, a new Spidersona!

Name: Cassidy “Cass” Carver, Spider-Man, X-Spider (she/her)

A Spider-Man from a universe where Spider-Man is a mutant rather than being bit! as part of the X-Men, Cass doesn’t do much solo work, and when the spider-verse comes knocking she prefers to continue sporting the X-Men yellow and blue. More about her under the cut!

Despite being a mutant, much of Cass’ life still follows the classic Spider-Man canon, including her own versions of Gwen Stacy and Flash Thompson. Cass and Gwen dated briefly, but when Cass found out she was a mutant, she joined the xmen under the cover of ‘going to a fancy boarding school’ at Xavier’s. Little does she know, Gwen is also a mutant who’s now going through all the same changes and fears on her own. Eventually, the two face off, ending in Gwen’s death.

Cass loves being part of the X-Men, opting to wear a mask for most of her early time on the team. After Gwen’s death, her parents find out she’s a mutant and disown her, and she no longer needs to wear a mask but still prefers to a lot of the time.

Friends amongst the X-Men include Beast, Gambit, Nightcrawler, and Wolverine, though she also spends a lot of time with Kitty and Ice-Man since she’s closer to their age.

She doesn’t get along as well with Cyclops (problems with authority), Colossus, and Storm. She was beginning to get close to Storm, but Kitty got jealous and Cass backed off to preserve her friendship with Kitty. She thinks Colossus is stiff but will tolerate him bcuz of Kitty.

In Spider-society, Cass connected most heavily with Gwen, but gets along pretty well with everyone. Miguel is neutral-positive on her since she has experience working with a team, though her authority issues shine through in their relationship once again.

She very briefly joined Magneto’s side for a bit, but went back to the xmen shortly after. She still harbors some sympathy and agrees with some of their methods, but missed her specific found family and felt a lot of guilt for ‘betraying them’, as Xavier put it.

I’m definitely going to be drawing more of her soon!

#Spidersona #x-spider #x-men #xmen #original character #Cass carver #my art #my characters #spider sona #i used to have a more cut and dry Spidersona but since i am a queer person with EDS who likes orange and uses forearm crutches… #sun spider ended up doing everything i would’ve done but better #so i decided to go a different direction and make an x-men self insert #living my best life #i haven’t made something this self indulgent in ages lmao #expect some fun action poses of her soon! #also yes Cass is she/her but prefers to go by spider-man over spider-woman #as an x-man making the distinction for her hero name felt weird for her

For me, the best case scenario would be to be a demigod with a cool parent so they can help you out, and the worst case scenario would be to be a demigod with a shitty parent cuz that would be scary, and being a mutant would be in the middle. I voted demigod though bc at least then you KNOW what's up with these powers.

#poll #idk how to tag #i feel like ppl will just vote on if they prefer percy jackson or xmen lol

so the xmen posts in marvels instagram

the titles seem interesting.

- more wolverine as always

- looking to see x-force and x-factor lineup

- new york xmen? street level xmen? i will see

- storm solo book!!!!

this one is making me lose my mind.

- uncanny xmen has the classic vibes of an xmen team and i really liked the lineup

- IDIE!!!!! IT'S IDIE!!!!! IDIE OKONKWO!!!!! also MAGNETO AND CYCLOPS ON THE SAME TEAM. this has potential, i see it

- God i really hope the girl in black & blue in kate pryde because othewise i'm really mistaking her for someone else. but hey, a team with her and emma

as for the trailer: really looks nice, the phrases were full of phoenix references and i think the M 🤘 sign is something new and is a cool addition

i am looking forward to these new stories and i hope they are good. do i have a very big chance of gettinh disappointed? yes, but this is normal day in life of someone who reads comics

#about krakoa era #come one we all know this wasn't going to last #as much masochist as this sounds i prefer mutants in a more... urban (?) setting #also #i like the school #coming from a huge family of teachers #the xmen school was one of the things that really made me interested in their comics #xmen #uncanny xmen #exceptional xmen #xmen comics #x spoilers #fall of x #fall of the house of x #rise of the powers of x

I always prefer it when the colour of Scott Summers' eye-beams are given a pink-ish hue.

#regular ol red for those force beams? hell no #miss me with that #tilt the red juuuuuuust slightly into the magenta zone #so it's the most vibrant and piercing thing ever #that's how i like it #head thoughts #bonus: jean's powers have classically been associated with neon pinks #so that's some potential niftiness #artist nitpicks #or i guess #artistic preferences #scott summers #xmen

[drewsaturday]

i think a big reason x-men tas was so good is like, they're all adults! jubilee is probs a teen but within a few episodes you just get all this angsty adult drama about logan running off bc unrequited jean feels or the lifelong tumultuous homoerotic relationship of xavier and magneto etc instead of having to pretend you care about a bunch of teenagers dealing with awkward first kiss bullshit

#xm tag #like even as a kid i just ALWAYS cared so much more abt the adult characters and yeah there's a lot wrong with me but #to get a kid-targeted cartoon that's actually focused on adults instead is SO nice #and like obvs yeah if ur looking at superhero cartoons - young justice and teen titans? chefs kiss #but x-men evo just didn't hit the same as tas did for me #i think as well - and i talk abt this a lot when it comes to 90's queer subtext - the restrictions of it #being a kid-targeted show almost makes things feel more natural #bc they cant just show the adults sucking and fucking after 2 minutes of forced tension #they Have to give us subtleties and it just appeals to me a lot more bc it all feels a lot more natural #anyway i will also acknowledge the execution of this show can be very awkward lmaooo but i think like #it's not that hard to get what i mean #i THInk my order of preference looking back for the ones i watched was tas > wolverine and the xmen > evo #and i watched a bunch of avengers cartoons as well with similar effect #OH AND ALSO villains tend to be adults even when the mains are kids which is... another fun thing to latch onto lol

Just showed to my sister a picture of Man in Yellow Hat and she immediately said "He kinda looks like Professor X" (she never say his name correctly) and internally I am:

#like pLEASE AKDHDKQKLQISLQ I HAVE ENOUGH OF THIS #HE IS NOT RECTANGLE STOP THIS MISINFORMATION- #my sister knows his name is Utonium but she said she prefer saying X despite me correcting her Prof X is the wheelchair guy in xmen #asuka speaks

we watched "war crimes" tonight and the cliff calley storyline was so heartbreaking that i thought "ooh, the only thing that would make this better would be sense8 au schenanigans" and so now i have a draft about that??

it's technically complete, but it needs severe editing for the pacing. which is interesting to me, because recently i haven't been feeling like my fics need pacing editing? whereas in the past, pacing was the MAJOR thing i had to edit. so i was excited about potentially having Figured Out Pacing!

i think the secret is that i've been writing an extremely stripped-back narration style recently. my issues with pacing have always been with pov introspection -- i tend to write too much, or put it in the wrong place. so the stripped-back style feels much better and snappier to me. it's also just plain easier, since i have fewer tools that i can use to mess with the pacing (basically just dialogue tags and physical action). it's harder to mess up.

but writing josh's pov had me instinctively go back into the introspection -- and i don't think that's bad! i prefer introspection for something like this. the stripped-back lets me imply stuff, but sometimes a character is just someone who says things outright to themself, or maybe i think it's more effective to just say something outright. so i'm happy to get the chance to cultivate the skill again, it's just interesting, being faced with how much easier i find the newer style.

#probably part of it is that i haven't developed the same editor's eye for the new stripped-back style #that i already have for the older wordier style. so obviously one's gonna feel like it needs more editing #but also maybe i just prefer to read less-wordy things #sb and l rambles #sb and l is writing #sb and l watches tww #verse: and it's golden #fic: blind faith #this style stemmed from writing scott pov btw. which is fun cause like. i spent so long being worried about writing xmen fic #cause their voices are HARD to nail!! #so it's nice to see that that also gave me time to think about my writing style. and start to learn a new skill!

X-men is SO separate from the rest of marvel in my mind it’s insane

#like idk how to articulate it #yknow how it’s Dc separate from Marvel #in my mind the Xmen are their own thing like that #so like whenever I’m talking about why I prefer DC #I’m never including the X-men #which makes whatever points I make sound stupid lmaooo #like im sorry it will NEVER click together for me so I just stopped speaking on it 🤭
