And the fact that Charles in this picture looks so deadpan like he doesn’t give two shits about anything makes it 10x better

Like in this picture his face just adds a ‘maybe’ to both of those sentences: Erik lehnsherr needs a hug/to stop…MAYBE

😂😂😂😂

Inside you there are two wolves

New fic posted!

I got the idea from @swordsandsadness and I wrote a fic about it! :P

Title: Tell Me It Wasn’t Him

Summary:

“Something’s happening to my powers, and I can’t stop it. They’re growing so strong, I-I don’t know what to do…” I turn fully towards her. “You do understand that it’s Charles’ whole career to help mutants with their powers, right? If you need help with your powers, why did you come to me? I can’t help you with that. Why me? Why not Charles?” ��I can’t go to him, I told you that,” Jean whispers. “Why not?”

————

A Dark Phoenix fanfic in which Erik realizes that the blood on Jean’s shirt could’ve come from Charles, and it doesn’t take long for fury to completely blot out sympathy.

(summary includes excerpt, so no excerpt for this one lol)

New edit in the works! I originally was just gonna take a scene from Dark Phoenix and interlace it with other clips, but then I was like ‘nah I’m gonna do a full Erik tribute video.’

I spent over an hour on the first 30 seconds, so here is the first 30 seconds!

Made with CapCut Pro!

What’s actually kinda cool is that I got CapCut pro almost one full year ago today so I could make tribute edits like these. I’m excited to keep trudging along with this edit and I’m looking forward to working on it more!

CHARLES XAVIER CHARACTER STUDY

(monster-post alert lol)

(this post is referring to prequel Charles specifically)

There’s an X-Men headcanon I’ve had for a while about prequel Charles that is only a headcanon because it’s never been explicitly confirmed, and that is that Charles Xavier has a savior complex.

I’ve heard people talk on and off about Charles and his empathy and him helping people and everything, but I’ve always subscribed to the idea that Charles has a full-blown savior complex and I’ve never heard anybody else mention it before so I wanna talk about it and talk about why I think that is because it’s fun to bring up examples.

As I was digging into this, I found an article by Cleveland Clinic that, among other things, details what a savior complex is and what some of the traits are. Here’s some of what the article says:

“The savior complex, or white knight syndrome, describes the need to “save” other people by fixing their problems for them. Someone with a savior complex often feels the compulsion to go out of their way to help other people, even if those other people don’t need or want their help.”

And here are some of the listed signs of a savior complex, the ones that I think line up most with Charles:

“You’re attracted to people in distress and/or toxic situations.”

I mean, Charles teaches mutant children for a living, many of whom have probably been cast out by their families or treated horribly, so nurturing hurt children is in his career.

“You’re always trying to change other people or improve their situations.”

*coughs very forcefully into a napkin and almost chokes on it*

“You make excessive personal sacrifices.”

*coughs even more violently into the napkin*

“You need to solve everything and you’re the only one with answers.”

Well, he runs a school for mutant children. His name is IN the school. He’s the person who’s SUPPOSED TO ALWAYS have the answers. And even before he became a professor, he was very in tune with other people’s suffering.

~~~~~~~

Anyways, the article goes on to describe it and talk about it in more detail, BUT what I want to do with this post is to outline every major moment I can find in the X-Men prequel canon that lines up with him having a savior complex, this includes lot of dialogue that he says that points to his obsession with helping and saving people.

I think it’s also important to mention that there are many moments in which Charles tries to save someone and he SUCCEEDS. And, yes, all well and good if someone gets saved, but if Charles’ method is something that I think was driven by his savior complex, then it REINFORCES that in Charles. If he tries to help someone guided by his savior complex and it works and that person’s life seems all the better for it, Charles is just going to keep falling back into his old patterns, which HE DOES. He exhibits savior complex behavior THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRETY OF THE PREQUELS, and that’s actually something I really respect. This pattern of deep-rooted behavior is consistent from beginning to end, and it makes me love his character so much more because it adds such a interesting layer that I want this post to help me peel back.

Here we go!

EXHIBIT 1:

The first instance is very very early on the prequels, it’s actually the VERY first scene with Charles in it, when he takes Raven in and saves her from her life of theft and poverty.

EXHIBIT 1.5:

And in the scene where Raven asks Charles if he would date her, they have THIS exchange:

R: “Well?”

C: “I’m incapable of thinking of you that way. I feel responsible for you. Anything else would just feel wrong.”

UHHHHHHHHH CHARLES YOUR SAVIOR COMPLEX IS SHOWING 🫢

Charles saved her when they were both kids. That, along with their childhood together, could’ve built a sort of hierarchy in that dynamic without even them intending to.

EXHIBIT 2:

Then we have, of course, Charles saving Erik!

EXHIBIT 2.5:

Also, in the scene in which Charles talks to Erik and tries to convince him to stay, Charles says this:

“I’m sorry, Erik, but I’ve seen what Shaw did to you. I’ve felt your agony. I can help you.”

I CAN HELP YOU?? You just did!!!! You pulled him out of the ocean and saved his life YESTERDAY.

This goes to show how Charles is ALWAYS looking for people to help, and even if he doesn’t notice it himself, he’s always look for people to SAVE.

EXHIBIT 3:

At the tail end of the mutant recruitment road trip, Charles and Erik are playing chess in front of the Abraham Lincoln statue. Charles says THIS:

“Can’t stop thinking about the others out there. All those minds that I touched. I could feel them. Their isolations, their hopes, their ambitions. I tell you, we’re at the start of something incredible, Erik. We can help them.”

AGAIN WITH THE HELPING PEOPLE OH MY GOD–

I didn’t even remember that he said this until I was rewatching this scene for this character analysis.

But yes, that also reinforces the idea that Charles has a savior complex: He’s always looking for people to help, always TRYING to help people, even if they don’t ask for it.

HEADCANON RAMBLING:

This isn’t really an exhibit as much as it is me talking about something that’s just implied, but throughout the entirety of First Class, Charles tries to instill in Erik serenity and peace because he can see how much trauma Erik is carrying around and he wants to help Erik find peace. Charles tries time and time again to bring him down from the vengeful high that Erik’s been on his whole life: the satellite dish scene, the chess match scene before Cuba, and then Charles’ last ditch effort to ‘win him over,’ when he tries to stop Erik from putting on the helmet. And then he’s powerless to stop Erik from killing Shaw.

And then this line from Erik in the chess match scene:

E: “I’m not gonna stop Shaw. I’m gonna kill him. Do you have it in you to allow that?”

E: *stares at him, waiting for an answer*

C: *says nothing*

E: “You’ve known all along why I was here, Charles.”

So maybe Charles thought that he could heal Erik’s trauma by doing what he’s always done, what he’s always wanted to do: Help people.

C: “Listen to me, very carefully, my friend. Killing Shaw will not bring you peace.”

Maybe after Charles saved his life, he then got to work trying to save his conscience. One thing after another.

EXHIBIT 4:

Moving onto Days of Future Past! When Charles is presented with the idea of freeing Erik and helping Raven, he goes up to his room to take the serum. He thinks about Raven and ends up deciding to help her. But WHAT memory does he think of out of the countless that I’m sure he has of the two of them? It’s the VERY FIRST TIME THEY MET, when Charles ‘saved�� her. That is what gets him to agree to Logan’s plan is when he imagines a situation in which he can help or ‘save’ her again.

HEADCANON RAMBLING:

When Erik and Charles are talking over chess in the plane, Charles says:

“Your cause. The girl I raised, she was not capable of killing.”

I wanted to mention this because there it is again, there’s that hierarchy. It lines up with Charles saying, “I’m incapable of thinking of you that way, I feel responsible for you,” in First Class.

EXHIBIT 5:

When Charles, Erik, and Logan crash the Paris Peace Accords and get to Raven, Charles is talking to Raven off-screen, and Logan and Erik have stuff going on so his words aren’t the focus, but Charles says:

“I made you a promise a long time ago that I would protect you…”

And then he says a couple other things, like how he hasn’t kept all of his promises over the years, but yeah, Charles has always been trying to protect her and save her.

EXHIBIT 6:

THIS IS A BIG ONE, and this one actually takes place during a deleted scene that I’m assuming would’ve been in the Rogue Cut storyline. This is when Raven shows up at the mansion and she, Charles, Hank, and Logan are all talking in what I’m assuming is the kitchen.

Here’s a clip, and in the clip, Charles is incredibly overbearing in his desires to take care of her, calling her ‘his girl’ (the hierarchy thing again), and then upon being asked by Logan what he’s trying to do, HE LITERALLY SAYS AND I QUOTE: “I’m trying to save her.”

EXHIBIT 7:

In the finale of Days of Future Past, Charles is talking to Raven telepathically and he says:

“I’ve been trying to control you since the day we met.”

So essentially, he’s admitting it there that he’s always been trying to save her and protect her and look after her even when she didn’t want it.

EXHIBIT 8:

So technically even we’re only shown this in Dark Phoenix, chronologically, Charles takes in Jean in-between DOFP and DP, so he starts up that lie about her parents soon after he meets her. I’ll showcase a few moments later about Charles saying things that point to his intentions when it comes to keeping up that lie, but his savior complex guides that lie and that’s what keeps it up for years upon years. Him lying to her to ‘save her’ is consistent with everything we’ve been seeing from him, so in my opinion, it’s completely in-character.

EXHIBIT 9:

X-Men: Apocalypse time!

When Charles is talking to Erik in Cerebro, what is one of the first things he says?

“Come back to us. I can help you.”

CHARLES IS SO OBSESSED WITH HELPING PEOPLE 🤣

And yeah, it’s all well and good to help people, but I get the sense that Charles has a toxic obsession with helping people and that he finds his identity and worth in helping people, in ‘saving’ people.

EXHIBIT 10:

And then of course, there’s the line:

“Those with the greatest power protect those without.”

Fire line, Hell yeah, but then also, again, that’s pointing to Charles finding his identity in protecting and helping people.

EXHIBIT 11:

This one comes from the conversation between Erik and Charles at the end of Apocalypse:

“I was right about Raven. I was even right about you.”

This one’s interesting, because he’s hinting at the many times he’s tried to save and protect Raven and Erik and that he was right about them being good, he was right to save them.

The fact that they were good and they were saved isn’t the point, it’s the fact that Charles succeeded and nothing went wrong. Because of these successes, Charles doesn’t see how damaging his obsession with saving people can be because he’s succeeded so many times, which will then lead us to Charles’ stubbornness in Dark Phoenix and how adamant he is about his lie with Jean.

EXHIBIT 12:

In Dark Phoenix, when Raven asks “what end is that?” Charles responds, “Keeping us safe.”

EXHIBIT 13:

R: “What did you do to her, Charles?”

C: “I saved her.”

(and then when Jean is confronted by the X-Men, Charles says “we can help you, I can help you.”)

~~~~~~~~~~~

And there we are, those are all of the moments I could find in the the prequel franchise that line up with him having a savior complex, and I think it makes his character so much more interesting and multi-layered!!

I don’t really know what else to say here but if you got to the end of this monster-character-study post, then thank you! Hope you enjoyed my ramblings :P

X-MEN DOFP SCENE DETAIL THAT I’M GOING CRAZY OVER:

@alien--cookie, I thought of you while writing this post since I know you are interested in/want to go into film like me! 😝

So today I'm talking about the scene between old Charles and young Charles in Days of Future Past. A phenomenal scene, beautiful, stunning, moving, emotional, every positive adjective possible to describe this amazing scene. BUT the cinematography is REALLY cool and it’s making me so goddamn emotional as I’m sitting down to analyze it.

Me, a film student, to every Tumblr user who reads this:

GET IN LOSER WE’RE *ANALYZING A FILM SCENE*

I want to talk about three things:

Camera focus (this one isn’t necessary just me, I saw a YT comment or something point this out a long time ago, I don’t remember)

Shot type

The 180 degree rule (description below courtesy of the StudioBinder website):

"The 180 degree rule is a filmmaking guideline for spatial relations between two characters on screen. The 180 rule sets an imaginary axis, or eye line, between two characters or between a character and an object. By keeping the camera on one side of this imaginary axis, the characters maintain the same left/right relationship to each other, keeping the space of the scene orderly and easy to follow.

When the camera jumps over the invisible axis, this is known as crossing the line or breaking the line, and it can produce a disorienting and distracting effect on a viewer."

In the beginning of the scene, the 180 rule is set up:

We have our two titular characters set up, their location, their spatial relation to each other, all that jazz.

Then we have this shot up from underneath...

...while old Charles is saying, “Sometimes we all need a little help.”

That is a perspective shift for young Charles.

THEN:

THEY BREAK THE 180 RULE AND OLDER CHARLES IS NOW IN FOCUS.

To maybe signify that perspective shift and the new direction the scene is going???

And as they go about the scene and old Charles is giving advice to young Charles, young Charles is being imbued with all this knowledge and wisdom and the shot gets tighter and closer on each of them as we’re getting more up close and personal with them. We’re getting a more intimate look into their lives and their emotions, so the shot choices reflect that:

And there we go. Yet another reason why I love this scene, and by extension Days of Future Past, so much. X-Men has my heart.

Share your thoughts! 😎

New fanfic! (depressed Charles whump)

@123batfam123 wanted to be tagged when I posted about this one, so here you go! :)

Title: Hell, Heaven, and Whatever’s In-Between

Summary:

Erik is a topic that Charles hasn’t approached in a long time. Or even thought about. He avoids it at all costs, because how can he bear the thought of someone who hurt him so badly?

So when Logan brings him up as part of their plan to stop Raven, Charles is triggered, and once he leaves, it isn’t long before he seeks out his hidden stash of the serum to numb the feelings that Erik’s mention has brought boiling to the surface.

A relapse, but a welcome one.

X-MEN HEADCANON: CHARLES HAD A SERUM/DRUG RELAPSE IN DAYS OF FUTURE PAST

(or, really just a way for me to imagine Charles Xavier whump in any way that I can)

So in Days of Future Past, there's a scene where the serum in Charles' body wears off and he collapses.

Hank goes to fetch the serum, during which Logan tells Charles that they need him and his powers to complete the mission. Charles ends up fighting against the urge to use the serum and the story continues.

It's explained early on the film that Hank had originally designed the serum to treat Charles' spine and cure his paralysis, but the side effect is that it affects Charles' DNA, so it strips him of his telepathy. Whether that was an intentional effect or not is never confirmed, but based on how Charles describes to Erik that he gave up his powers so he could sleep implies that it was intentional, and I can even see a scenario in which Charles begged Hank to try and rid him of his telepathy to get peace from the voices. It's also said early on that Charles purposely takes too much.

It's never explicitly said, but it's heavily implied that he's addicted to the serum. Also, not for nothing, but Micheal Fassbender has said that Hank is somewhat of an enabler, and James McAvoy has said that when he was approaching the role of Charles in this particular film, he wanted him to look like he did drugs. So it's basically canon at this point without ever being explicitly confirmed.

The serum shows up in two scenes:

There's a scene nearer to the beginning of the film where Charles is shown in his room, injecting himself with the serum.

Then, later on, when the serum wears off, Charles wants to take it but ultimately decides not to.

My headcanon is that the first scene in which the serum appears is Charles' relapse:

In the beginning scene where Charles actually takes the serum, neither his legs nor his telepathy seem to be bothering him in that moment. And yet he's taking the serum. And based on what we see later on the film, it doesn’t seem to wear off gradually. Prior to Charles' legs giving out, he had shown absolutely no sign of physical discomfort. BUT when they enter his mansion, the pain and the voices suddenly appear out of nowhere.

At this point in the timeline, it's been eleven years since X-Men: First Class. Hank explains to Logan that, after the fight in Cuba, Charles threw himself into setting up the Gifted Youngers school. The first semester came and went, and then many of the students and teachers were drafted to fight in the Vietnam war.

To quote Hank, "It broke him. He retreated into himself and I...I wanted to help. Do something, so... designed a serum to treat his spine. {...} ...he takes too much. I tried easing him back but he just couldn't bear the pain, the voices."

"I tried easing him back." This implies 1) that it became enough of a problem that Hank tried to do something about it, 2) that Charles uses it as an unhealthy coping mechanism, and 3) that Hank attempted to confront Charles about the issue, and he was met with resistance. This implies a narrative in which there was a push and pull between Charles and his relationship with the serum, and Hank himself trying to intervene. So to me, the subtext says that Charles has been taking much more than he needs for a long time.

James McAvoy said in an interview "he's basically been taking care of me for the best part of a decade,” about Hank. A decade is a LONG time, but it's more than enough time for an addiction to develop, settle, and become an integral part of someone's way of life. Charles' mental health has been spiraling downward for TEN YEARS. I think he uses the serum as a way to push everything down, and the result is that he never faces his problems.

Despite the fact that it's been eleven years since Erik and Raven left, he's never stopped grieving, and he's never quite moved on. Logan mentions Erik, Charles IMMEDIATELY gets up to leave, and when he retreats up into his room, his first move is to take the serum. So he was clearly triggered by the conversation about Raven, more specifically ERIK, and it brought back pain from a decade-old wound.

In the second serum scene, Charles intends to take the serum because he is physically dependent on it and his legs will literally stop working without it.

But, in the first scene, I like to think that Charles took the serum because he is also emotionally and psychologically dependent on it. I mean, this is what he says LITERALLY RIGHT BEFORE he goes to his room to take the serum:

“We all have to die sometime.”

Not even death scares him, and I don't mean it in the sense that he would stand up and fight to survive, I think that he might stand up and fight not to. What I think Charles is saying is that if he died today, he would be okay with it.

And to think that Charles has been in a bad place like this on and off for a decade?? Damn, our boys have had it ROUGH. Hank too, taking care of him for that long. It would get incredibly lonely.

I do intend on writing a fanfic that details this relapse from Charles’ POV, so that shall hopefully be coming soon!

Fanfic Series Plug 🫣

I post on here about my fanfics a lot, typically whenever I post a new one, but I want to talk about one of my X-Men fanfic series real fast:

My X-Men Fanverse!

It started as a single fic in August, the first X-Men fanfic I ever wrote, and then I wrote a sequel to that one, and soon after, I then wrote a spin-off of that first fanfic, all in the same universe and all within what I called at the time ��my own stream of canon.’ As time went on, I started writing more fics within that personal canon, expanding the stories and connections.

Fast-forward almost seven months, and those three X-Men fanfics have turned into a whole series that, as of right now, is 20 fics long and almost 74k words. Every fic is in the same fanverse as each other, and many of them reference each other, lead into one another, or intertwine entirely!

To give a sense of the connections, here are some arcs/storylines/references that span across the series:

-A big constant is Charles’ mental health struggles. In the First Class-timeframe fics, it’s a frequent theme, and everything is undiagnosed at that time. In the Days of Future Past-timeframe fics, his mental health is much worse and he goes through a really rough patch that overlaps into the events of the movie. Then fast-forward into the 18th fic of the series set in the Apocalypse-timeframe: He now has a much better handle on his mental health, and he’s now been diagnosed with multiple disorders, which I like to think happens within the ten years between DOFP and Apocalypse. So you can see the ebb and flow and the changes in his mental health over the years throughout the full series.

-Fanfic #2 through #6 are five fanfics that all take place within the span of a week, and they do reference each other a bunch of times. For example, in fic #3, Charles has a bad migraine that Erik helps him through, and in fic #4, which is set a few days afterward, Erik mentions it to one of the other characters, keeping up that continuity.

-The event that started the whole fanverse was in fic #10, in which Charles attempts suicide on the eleventh anniversary of Cuba. Then the two fanfics following that one happen a week after the attempt and reference it multiple times. The spin-off fanfic that I mentioned earlier is about the attempt in which multiple characters learn of it, which adds four more related scenes into the fanverse, two set during the DOFP-timeframe, and two set during the Apocalypse-timeframe.

Despite my work to keep the continuity up, of course, there are exceptions, and there have been little things that I've disregarded or changed for the sake of certain stories that, if you really think about it, don't make sense in the overall canon (mine or the official canon), but at the end of the day, it's all just for fun. This being said, I still try!

And recently, as I’ve been wanting to expand it, since I have so many fanfics in the fanverse now, depending on where I want to put it, I have to comb through other fanfics to see what I can and can’t include based on the future of the fanverse, what I might need/want to mention, what I might need to steer away from, and what events (in my canon or official canon) that I would need to pay mind to. At this point, it’s a tightly woven network of fanfics, and I’m always thinking of what to add to further enrich the fanverse.

So what’s next for the series?

-I have recently decided that all of my Jean and Charles one-shots currently sitting in another series are also in my fanverse canon, and as I write more of THOSE one-shots, they will be included.

-An Apocalypse-timeframe fic is currently in planning that will include Erik, it will be my own spin on Magda’s death, and it will reference many of the things in past fanverse fics, including Charles’ mental health disorders and major events in past fics. So bringing Erik back into the fanverse at that timeframe will open up a lot of opportunities to make additional connections.

-I’m also planning for a Days of Future Past-timeframe fic that will be eleven chapters and explore the decade in-between First Class and Days of Future Past. It will be all in Hank’s POV, so exploring Charles’ decline from his point of view, and that will include the headcanon that I have for Hank’s family. I’m planning for this particular fic to lead directly into fic #10 from the fanverse!

Will I actually get to all of these? I hope to, but who knows. But those are all on the list!

Anyways, that is that, I just wanted to come on here real quick and talk about it because it’s something that I’m pretty proud of over the seven months that my X-Men phase has been going strong. It’s been so much fun to create, and it’s not done!!

Now let’s just hope I get over this damn writer’s block AND START WRITING AGAIN 😅

New fic! (super self indulgent one lol)

Title: There Are Plenty of Fish in the Sea (and they should stay off my plate)

Summary:

Erik and Charles have thoroughly enjoyed their mutant-recruitment road trip thus far. Sure, they’ve been rejected plenty of times by mutants around the world, but that was bound to happen. The next mutant up is Darwin, and they stop off for a quick lunch before flagging his cab down.

They should not have picked the restaurant that they did. Or, more specifically, Charles should not have had those two salmon fillets. ——— A fic in which Charles gets severe food poisoning during the mutant road trip.

Excerpt:

Darwin’s eyes catapult into his forehead. “That’s a six hour drive.”

Erik lifts his hand. “Then it’ll give us plenty of time to talk.” He uses his powers to turn on the radio.

Darwin’s eyes flick down to the radio and he processes this information for a long moment…then nods. “Yes, it will.” He pulls away from the sidewalk and gets on the road. As he takes us out of the city, Erik and I take turns explaining our recruiting mission and our reasons for going on a mutant hunt. As the first hour drags by, the nausea that had been so slight earlier has escalated to a mild but persistent twinge, hovering in the background of every movement I make, every word I speak. Again, I push it down and put all of my focus on helping Erik pitch our mission.
