MAKE ME CHOOSE. @halscavendish asked: tsoa or vicious?

these words people threw around—humans, monsters, heroes, villains—to victor it was all just a matter of semantics.

“Victor,” he said, slipping his hands into his pockets. “Vale.”

“If you were planning to rob me, you could have at least brought a gun.” “Oh, I did,” said Victor, holding out his hand. Slowly, as if performing a trick, he curled three of his fingers in, leaving his thumb up and his index extended. “Bang.”

“Because you don’t think I’m a bad person,” he said. “And I don’t want to prove you wrong.”

When I was rereading Vengeful I spent a lot of time thinking about how all that symbolism and meaning and power in comic book ass alliterative names in Vicious. Continues with Marcella?

Marcus likes how powerful Marcella makes him feel. Likes having her there as support, a trophy wife, but not more than that. But Marcella's already got that power in her name.

As she comes into herself and goes full supervillain she return to being Marcella Morgan, right up there with Victor Vale and Eli Ever. The alliteration symbolizes power and importance, and she's finally making something of herself, finally using the power that she was always meant to have. In the fleshback to Eli and Victor's first meeting, we even get a callback to the alliteration idea.

It's just. It's a very on-the-nose piece of symbolism. The books don't shy away from that; they look at it, talk about it, embrace it. But it goes even deeper than that; it's woven into the story in much subtler ways. And I think it's really cool.

It’s like magic and science and fairytales all rolled up into one. Actually, it’s ions speeding into the Earth’s magnetic field, and then they collide with air molecules.

Red (2016)

Made this one years ago for a canon compliant (at the time) AU. Where Scott Summers (Cyclops) unlocks his powers as they're falling from the sky after jumping from their burning plane. I drew this in 2016 but the AU has been rolling around my head since 2009 lol. I mean... I tried to keep it canon compliant but canon keeps changing its mind.

This was supposed to be for a comic that features all (three at the time) Summers brothers. It starts off as Alex centric where he keeps getting these dreams of Scott, himself and Gabriel (now with Adam) as young kids living together in an orphanage. He thinks it's just part of the grieving process (Cyclops was still *no longer in circulation* at the time). Until he gets called to asses a mutant 'threat' which leads him to an abandoned orphanage somewhere in Alaska where it turns out there are mini versions of Summers boys running around with all of their original powers. And there's no way in hell he's turning these kids over to the Avengers

Oh man it was gonna explore the Phoenix force like a teen fanfic. And Norse Loki lore like that one kid he saved from that giant, and that kid was gonna be the Summers ancestor. And Odin cursed the kid and that's why the Sunmers bloodline is screwed up.

And the original Phoenix force was gonna be Lokis fire troll daughters that ascended and escaped marvel!ragnarok. And they've lived for centuries looking for their mom - but this version of Loki had red hair and green eyes and that's why the Phoenix force is always getting attached to red heads
