Not to be so loudly disabled on main, but can we talk about mutation in the X-men universe having effects on the mutant?
I want pyrokinetics who are constantly cold or prone to Raynaud's syndrome when they're not using their powers. I want nonbinary and genderfluid shapeshifters. Give me telepaths and empaths who struggle with interpreting tone, intention, and body language without their powers. I want mutants who can fly but have to take extra care because their bones are hollow and fragile like birds'. Give me mutants with healing powers who experience phantom/chronic pain.
Just-- mutations having a real-life influence on the mutated individual. Representation of disability, neurodiversity, gender queerness etc. I'm sure there must be fics out there that explore this much better than I just did, but I haven't found them yet :')

Polycule but it’s just two people in a romantic relationship with each other and their third who’s pretty obviously aroace but also somehow so deeply intertwined in their lives that it’d just be wrong to not count them as involved. Is this anything.

i'm kind of obsessed with the implications of the phrase "picked clean" to be honest. the idea that you can be clean again by stripping away every trace of flesh and blood; that you can be made new and perfect, free of the stain of your own material existence, by being reduced to nothing but the parts of you that cannot be consumed. and all you have to do is let yourself be destroyed completely. all you have to do is die.

the absolute best dynamic to read/write about is between 1 person who is so good at performing and wearing masks that they don’t know who they really are and 1 person who cannot be anyone but their most excruciatingly authentic self at all times and sees right through them; the mirrorball and the one who is not like the regulars, so to speak

I love a character raised to be a weapon as much as the next guy. But what really gets me is a character raised to be a shield. Who can’t fathom being needed—or even being wanted— beyond keeping others safe. Who believe they are alive only to insure someone doesn’t die. no matter the cost. Characters who self-sacrifice not because they think they deserve it, but because no one else does deserve it, and it’s their job to protect.
Characters who’ve been told that’s why your important. Your worth something because this other person/ thing is important, and you are here solely to keep them safe.
Bonus points if it’s not a legitimate job they’ve been given. Maybe at one point it was, but now that they are free from it, they haven’t given up that mentality. No one is forcing or asking them to do this, but they need to. They need to in order to be deserving.

lining up the inspirations for Liminal and ngl this does in fact go hard
[ID: Four images of covers of various media, in order: The first X-Men movie, Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi, Zeroes by Scott Westerfield, Margo Lanagan and Deborah Biancotti, and The Girl Who Could Fly by Victoria Forester. End ID.]
(also x-men feels lightly redundant bc Shatter Me was also inspired by xmen but hey four is a good number)
#liminal#my post#mossy speaks#whatever my tag is#common themes? people with weird unique powers. government oversight. heavy politicization of powered ppl. jail.#yay

sexual knifeplay is indicative of weak character. I could never get aroused from being stabbed because that would mean that I failed to parry it

new tumblr game. put in the tags a GENUINE flaw your fav(s) has. cant be something like "too kind" or "loves too much" like something genuinely bad messed up morally wrong they are or have done
#i will argue that loves too much Can be a flaw hehe#like my blorbo Arinn who would literally rather use institutionalized violent force against a person than let them go#everything shes loved has had claw marks on it. she loves you. why cant you just love her. why did it have to change. why did you leave her#and then she gets everyone else sent to fucking turbojail. yay 👍#ok rbing over here for more oc thots#jade's flaw is being unable to trust and having extremely high walls around herself for safety. vulnerability is a threat and shes Scared#serena is so stagnated by anxiety/self-loathing that she can't address her own needs most of the time for fear of autonomy being deadly#and so whenever those pent up needs break she either leaves ppl entirely or hurts them out of resentment and lack of control#callan is also stagnated by anxiety but also needs ppl to prove themselves so bad that they'll create situations and invade privacy#like once you have their trust its unbreakable but that first earning of it? grueling.#blake is a fucking wreck genuinely his self hatred is like a burning force that hurts literally everyone around him thru substance abuse-#and general suffering and overreliance on ppl Fixing him. hes doing Bad#anin genuinely believes in violence as a First and only resort and ben believes in violence as an Ultimate Last resort & both are wrong#thats all for now but yippeee i love kids who suck#and surely have no reflection of myself or my own flaws haha. of course#arinn gatsby#jade cultwhin#callan miranda#blake moreau#serena evans#ben keighley#anin keighley#lore#reblog game

Costume design by Riccardo Tisci, Givenchy’s creative director, for a ballet of Maurice Ravel’s 17-minute composition Bolero, based on the Spanish dance, a collaboration between Marina Abramovic and Belgian choreographers, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and Damien Jalet; photographed for Dazed & Confused July 2013
Speaking of his initial costume inspirations, Riccardo Tisci said, “I wanted to create something very strong, very sexual. And very me. I was inspired by romance. The skeleton design is very dramatic but the nude colour of the fabric has a sense of romance- I wanted the dancers to feel naked. For me, the skeleton balanced death and beauty. I decided not to use materials associated with classic ballet, such as feathers and beading. I wanted to keep it minimal but also strong, because the bolero is about jealousy and intensity. I began with the black cape, because it has been key to my career. I imagined the men and women turning in the cape. I imagined the moment they would remove the cape, and underneath would be a nude catsuit in illusion tulle embroidered with a lace skeleton. They shed several layers as they dance, just like the lifecycle of animals or flowers losing their petals. They became these moving skeletons, strong and fragile at the same time.”
