Random Scogue Headcanon/Trivia: Scoguelings! (<-reminder of what they look like as I make myself gradually evolve the wip into an official image 😅😭)

Their first two kids (Kirby and Roberta)’s mutations include being unaffected by the negative side effects of their mother’s mutation at least or completely immune to it at best.

When Rogue learns this after Kirby is born, she has a hard time trusting the news at first because what do you MEAN she can touch someone via skin to skin without any negative consequences without having to consciously regulate her emotions/hearbeat/etc ,but after the initial hesitancy, hardly a day goes by where she isn’t absolutely all over her baby boy, giving him smooches and kisses all over his chubby cheeks and tummy and feet and touching his grubby lil’ fists to her face.

Scott likes to tease her and tell everyone else that their two kids get more kisses from their mother than he’s ever gotten from her since they started dating and within their married life.

Their last and youngest child, Morrow, is actually the most openly affectionate kid in the family.

Unfortunately, the Inhuman’s terrigen mist temporarily (?) shattered Rogue’s fortified self-control and instinctual ability to depower her mutation during pregnancy, nearly killing Morrow by destroying whatever mutant genes she had while still in her mother’s womb and nearly having her life get snuffed out almost within a blink of an eye, and almost causing her to be legally considered stillborn while an emergency c-section had to be performed.

As a result, even though she is able to grow up to be a healthy and happy baby so far, the very nonmutant human Morrow is rarely able to experience physical contact with her own mother unless there are sufficient layers of fabric or clothing between them and poor Rogue is confident enough to rebuild her self-control of her mutation from scratch.

Do you have favourite comic run with Wanda? Or at least one you have least problems with?

I'm very much of the school of here’s my version of how the characters should be portrayed they have traits from three different earths. The best version is the one in my head. I should write a fanfiction and then change all the names and turn it into a book.

I have the issue that many of the comics where I like the characterization of Wanda the most are either not what a modern audience seems to want or are just bad in general. I like the way Wanda is written in Force Works, a comic book that I would not recommend anyone read for any reason except the Wanda parts. I like the way she's written in Steve Englehart's Avengers comics. People think she's unlikeable there, and they are entitled to their wrong opinion.

I feel like my preferred Wanda take must be weird because there's a loud contingent of people who want her to constantly be embroiled in these super emotional storylines where everything is going wrong and all the drama and she's crying... and I want her to be cool. I don't think superhero stories are usually very good at melodrama and trauma stuff, and they're pretty good at making cool shit happen. Stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to, y'know?

There's this small-but-dedicated number of people out there who are like, she needs to be crying, everyone she knows needs to be dead, things need to be terrible, and I'm like, I think she should punch more people in the face. It's cool when she does that.

But that opinion isn't actually weird, is it? It's the most normie opinion possible. Most people like when superheroes are cool and badass and don't care when they're crying all the time. Being a constant emotional wreck whose life is one disaster after another is good at getting you that small-but-dedicated fanbase and not good at getting Joe Schmoe, who doesn't care about fictional characters' trauma and thinks it's annoying when they whine, to like you.

Not that I care about making Wanda more popular because I don't care about other people's opinions in general and that battle is lost anyway, but it must be said that I have basic taste. I'm not saying things should never go wrong or that I don't like an emotional storyline sometimes, but my preferred versions are always going to be when she gets to be good at her job.

Wish Kitty could get in a few good hits/punches on Jardine...

Kitty can kick ass, but most of all she just want's her bestie back.

This makes me think of the comics The Boys, bear with me for a moment. The comics is a satire to make fun of the heroes such as the X-Men and while the satire flies from the radar from many and at the same time feels way too mean spirit (like enough that the tv show changed a lot of plotlines and characters and that was wise) there one thing that ...caught my attention.

Their version of the X-Men was a bunch of creepy dudes who like to have sex (the nightcrawler's counterpart was a weird European guy who likes sex consensual or not) and work for the counterpart of prof x who...made all of them heroes to gain fame and money. They are an army. And they are easily killed by prof X's counterpart.

"and what this have to do with the talk?"

I find interesting how the X-Men are a bunch of people who are explored, who are stuck in this cycle and the perpetrator of such thing is a man who is rich and powerful, he does have a nice dream, supposedly, and his way to reach is by having an army.

Magneto is no better.

Kitty was 13 years old. And no one saw nothing stranger with a kitty being there...no one saw anything stranger with Kitty being in a relationship with Piotr...and thinking of The Boys...now I wonder if Prof X ever imagined his students having kids and turning said kids into soldiers.

Scott produces powerful kids...Scott is also a kid who lost everything and works as Prof X's soldier in a war he was so young to understand, at least mentally. He was a kid. Kitty was a kid.

And they can't ever have normalcy again.

Exceptional seems to be exploring Kitty’s time as an X-Men since she was a child and how it’s affecting her today as an adult.

I’m very, very curious if they’ll take a swing at all the adults (which is basically the whole X-Men team) who egged on Kitty’s wildly inappropriate relationship with Piotr, on top of also just being pretty much fine with her going on super dangerous X-Men missions.

She doesn’t seem to harbor any blame towards them. It’s mostly directed at herself currently. But I’ll be curious if she’ll eventually reflect back on how her oldest teammates/friends almost enabled that whole thing.

It’s kind of a very tight tightrope to balance on if they go that direction. Would be crazy to obliterate some of the most popular X-Men’s characters for being wildly irresponsible with their youngest member but by the same token, they were also wildly irresponsible with their youngest member.

[kurtty-drabbles]

Which makes things extra funny or dark....depending how you see it. Maybe people do know about the whole "she was a minor when they date" and well...just think the X-Men are a sex cult.

That's how X-Men roll

I don't think T'challa likes it, tbh. I love how Ororo has Yukio and Wolverine beside her, being fed grapes.

[kurtty-drabbles]

[kurtty-drabbles]

reminder that being against ai also means being against character.ai and not using character.ai and not interacting with character.ai

i've never talked to chatgpt i've never talked to character.ai i have no interest in talking to a chatbot even if it's fun or based on my comfort character. if we want companies to stop using ai we need to tell them we aren't going to interact with it - so don't.

don't talk to robots. full stop.

[kurtty-drabbles]

Yeah, why? Did Tchalla ever interacted with Kitty?

That's how X-Men roll

I don't think T'challa likes it, tbh. I love how Ororo has Yukio and Wolverine beside her, being fed grapes.

[kurtty-drabbles]

I don't hate Colossus ...but his relationship with Kitty sour the character (his relationship with Yana, but her demonification is odd. Hit or miss, like or he blames her and wants her to be the snowflake or he doesn't address she changes. Could be worse, I suppose) and the relationship also makes everyone in the X-Men look awful.

Logan I can kind get, he is an old man from a different time so maybe....that was sort "normal".

Ororo???

Scott???

Jean???

No. I also don't like how Kitty was isolated and enter the X-Men as a teen. Know what? The X-Men do have a horrible press bc of their actions (writers make the whole "humans hate mutants oh no" when ....they have reasons to look at the X-Men with wry eyes)

Yeah, it really fucking does

Kitty is a confused 14 (I think?) year old here who has a massive crush on the X-Men's resident hunky communist. He's 19, and he's right, age really does matter here. Kitty is sure drawn a lot older here, but that's beside the point. I don't find their melodrama especially shocking or even that interesting, frankly. What I find 'interesting' is how this relationship and Kitty's premature adulthood is normalised by other adults around.

Logan certainly had his moments of trying to push them together, Storm gave advice but not encouragement, but arguably this relationship was treated as an inevitability by everyone around them. Until Ilyana came along, Kitty was a child in a world exclusively filled with adults and adult concepts - and even there was a degree of parentification. I wonder if Kate sees this situation as another of the 'wrong' elements of her X-Men training as expressed in Exceptional X-Men.

Scott usually receives most of the focus as a child soldier, but Kitty was even younger when she was isolated from the whole world and didn't have peers her own age as support. When you consider everything she went through, it's hard to argue for any sense of duty of care. She didn't have the leadership pressure Scott did, but I'd argue her X-Men training and beyond was just as messed up.
