Something I’ve been thinking about today that hasn’t let my brain go, is how consistently anxious Charles is for all of Days of Future Past.

If you watch, his breathing is very often fast. He’s keyed up, breathing deeply and quickly, like he’s ready to get up and run or shout warning at any second that danger is imminent.

His eyes are constantly shifting, taking everything in everything around him… or maybe he’s thinking so hard and so fast that his eyes reflect it, like when people are trying so hard to remember something and their eyes dart back and forth like reading words on a page or something. Holding eye contact also seems to be somewhat of a struggle, he’ll look away.

His voice is very often tight and stressed, unlike in First Class where he was trying to be calm and collected because people were watching and they looked up to him… or something like that. But in Days of Future Past, you can notice very easily how tense he is by how tight, trembly, or broken his voice sounds, and he sounds that way a lot. Which makes sense given the circumstances, but it’s still tumbling around in my brain.

Charles is just struggling so much, and it’s painful to watch. He went from quietly depressed to out and about and highly stressed within a day or two. He’s facing everything he’s been avoiding for years, and now there’s serious consequences if he doesn’t handle it all.

Charles: So, what's next for you, Erik?

Erik: I'm turning over a new leaf. Maybe explore the land, settle down, find some peace of mind at last.

Charles: …You're going to go right back to killing people, aren't you?

Erik: That's very much on the table.

Erik loves Charles like a dog.

Bared teeth, drool and rust on his lips; all Charles sees are those blue eyes begging to be softened with a gentle touch.

Erik is an obedient guard dog. A controlled violence, a protective streak that leaves bodies. His teeth always sink in too deep, never the superficial type. Charles speaks his language, speaks his command.

They all tell him to put that dog down. Violent, misbehaving, unpredictable. All Charles sees is devotion. He always comes back, he always listens to him (not when it matters, not when anyone else says the right thing—it's only Charles. It'll always be Charles).

Erik loves with a submissiveness. A deadly hand forced down not with power, but by his own neediness. Blood-stained fur, matted and cold. Charles' gentle scratches painful, but he doesn't shy away. Would never shy away from Charles.

He's only protective. It's out of love.

It's not a solution, they all tell him over and over, sharing their oval scars and pointing at sharpened claws.

Beast, monster, bloodthirsty.

The thing is, Charles isn't the exception. He's been bit too. The difference is Erik licks his wounds, whimpers until Charles pats him with a maroon palm. Remorseful of his impulsivity that leaves arterial streaks down his back. Forgiven before the bleeding has stopped.

Charles falls for it every time. Erik didn't choose to be like this, he was beaten into it. He thinks he's good, justified, helpful. Violence is the only problem solving he knows.

I'll teach him proper. He's really a good man, he just doesn't know better. It's instinct.

Erik loves Charles like a dog.

Charles loves Erik like a fool.

Pls pls pls-

Hi Saku!!

I wanted to ask something I’ve asked before which is how would Zaros feel/react to someone being able to rile up and annoy Earis in the way he does?

(I didn’t know if this ask actually went through last time i sent it because maybe i forgot to submit it like an idiot😭? Or maybe you just didn’t see it yet or didn’t answer it on purpose because it’s something that might be explored in future content? If that is the case then just ignore this but I wanted to ask again incase it didn’t submit the first time)

I think he would get a little annoyed by it. Not necessarily jealous, but as he's been the only one to annoy the Earis until now, he'd hate that someone else could illicit the same reaction from them.

(I do remember seeing this question, but sometimes Tumblr doesn't let me answer questions regardless of it being publicly or privately posted, so I just have to delete them~)

Love how basically all of the xmen movies with Michael fassbender and James mcavoy end with Charles going "I stand with my cancelled wife", and Erik just leaving him. except for the last one where charles actually wants to leave him, and Erik's just like, "tf you think you're doing you aren't getting out of this dumpster fire of a marriage this easy."
