#Ruby Summers

Ruby Tuesday ♥️💎

Fun little reminder for all Emma Frost fans that are making OC children or designing her canon kids (Ruby, Megan, etc.):

With the exception of the Stepford Cuckoos, or maybe even them, Emma's children would not look like her. Not her current appearance. Emma has stated proudly multiple times she's had cosmetic surgery; a nose job, breast implants, so on and so on.

Her children would not look like her because she's changed the ways she looks. You'd have to go back to her childhood appearance in the comic books about her becoming the White Queen.

She's naturally a brunette, for starters. All blonde genes would have to come from the Father's side. Easy example, Megan and Ruby both being blondes either came from Emma's mother, Hazel, who is a blonde or Scott's mother, Katherine, who is blonde as well. While the character design makes them blonde so they look like Emma's children, genetically, they'd have a higher chance of having dark hair, like Nathan Summers.

I need this known and out there for the world because Marvel won't remember it, but I will. Technically, the Stepford Cuckoos shouldn't be blonde or that identical to Emma either, obviously they'd either look like a younger her or like whoever the other half of their DNA comes from.

Please stop giving Emma blonde children.

The entire family is so hot. Ruby is from the same alternate future as Bishop

Scemma alternative reality

So, I’ve been thinking—as I often do—about Emma and Scott.

The unpleasant truth is that in an endless series like the X-Men, they were almost doomed to fail from the beginning. Jean and Scott were the original couple, and it was practically guaranteed that at some point, someone in editorial would think, "Hey, let's take it back to the roots."

Plus, Jean and Scott have that epic love story—dying for each other, they have so powerful son, Scott being willing to sacrifice it all for her, their romance so unique and iconic for the X-Men saga… bla, bla, bla. Yeah, It’s true. It’s epic, and it’s special, and that’s why different writers will keep coming back to it over time... BUT!

Scott and Emma, on the other hand, had a beautiful, grown-up romance, with its mistakes and falls, where they both learned how to be different, perhaps better, people. They went through some of the hardest times in mutant history together, but... it just doesn’t have the same punch as Jean dying so Scott and all of humanity can live on.

For Scott and Emma to truly become that iconic couple, they needed something that couldn’t just be swept under the rug. Something that would forever remind everyone that these two were together. And I honestly think it would have been perfect if they were the ones to bring the first mutant child into the world after No More Mutants.

I imagine a story where the X-Men are fighting their last battle for the survival of mutantkind. There aren’t many of them left. One year, nothing. The next, still nothing. Mutants just aren’t being born.

Ideally, I’d avoid the whole AVX story arc—it was poorly done, not a bad idea, but the way they tried to paint Scott as the bad guy was just ridiculous.

In any case, everyone gradually loses hope, maybe they truly consider a strategy of retreat, secret identities, trying to live in peace. And then Emma finds out she’s pregnant.

But of course, they’re never left alone by humans, or maybe aliens attack, and the X-Men throw themselves back into the fight. Emma ends up giving birth in some tragic situation, and now I’m borrowing from Ruby Summers, because I want it to be obvious from the start that this is a mutant baby. So Emma gives birth to a red-skinned child, just to piss everyone off.

Scott: “Beat us, poison us, break our bones, we’ll be back, and why?"

Emma: “Because we like it!"

Scott: “Emma…”

Emma: “Because we’re mutants!”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PS: You cannot stop evolution!

PSS: Ruby Hope Summers, because Ruby has to be Ruby, but the name Hope is too good to leave behind.

PSSS: Mutants don’t need Scott’s crazy ex or her reincarnation to save them...

The Meryway School for Unusual Girls - Protagonists

Introducing my newsy original story and it's two main characters - Edith Calista (left) and Ruby Summers (right)

The story follows Edith and Ruby as they attend, and uncover the mysteries - of their boarding school - The Meryway School for Unusual Girls - an all girls boarding school with students and teachers that are magical and strange as can be. I imagine this being a Book Series or a TV show, or perhaps a book series that gets adapted into a TV show.

Edith Calista is the new girl at the school. She's always had an interest in learning about Witchcraft and magic, but doesn't really have many friends and faced a lot of bullying growing up (she did kick quite a few of her and other bullies' butts though). Her parents do care about her, but When she's accidentally able to cast an actual spell, the Meryway School suggests she's a witch, and offers her to attend the school. Wanting to connect with people who are 'unusual' like her, Edith takes it.

Ruby Summers has been attending the Meryway School since nursery and knows it like the back of her hand, though she only started boarding in Year 7. She's a mermaid, and grew up in a Seaside town Her parents love her dearly, but decided it was better to send her to the school to avoid her getting bullied at a normal school. She loves the colour pink, anything cute, and the Ocean, wanting to connect with her mermaid heritage. Most people at the school really like her, it's impossible not to!

They're both 13 at the start of the series, with Edith joining mid-way through the Autumn term. A friendship sparks between them almost immediately, and they become extremely close.

seeing you active always makes me happy. hope your holiday season is amazing! what do you think emma and scott’s first christmas with ruby/megan would be like? do you think the cuckoos, rachel, or illyana (honorary first daughter) would also be there?

awww. thank you! graduate school is kicking my ass tbh so i've been spending more time offline nowadays 🥹

BUT yes. yes yes yes.

okay so i feel like... their first xmas with megan would be so so cute (meg is the first born in my every scemma! parents au so). i think emma would definitely dress her up in a cute outfit and never ever stop taking pictures. scott would tie her hair into pigtails (because emma is, in fact, only good at doing her own hair) and keep carrying her next to the window so she gets to enjoy her first snow. he would also give her the star for the christmas tree and help her place it to the top. and YES the cuckoos, illyana and rachel would be there. although im pretty sure illyana would lowkey regret it 😭

rachel would occasionally steal her for snack trips to the kitchen (emma does not allow megan to have too much sugar, but whoops! guess rachel forgot! :))

and because this is the house of frost-summers, in a few years there'd be more siblings in the house! i don't know why -- ok i ACTUALLY do: it's probably megan's adaptation as this real mature kid on xmen the end -- but megan gives me too mature for her own sake eldest daughter vibes. i feel like once ruby and her twin (RUBY HAS A TWIN. very important. very mindful. very demure) would be little menaces and would keep messing with meg, the cuckoos and rachel (illyana is too scary) while they're minding their own businesses.

highkey ruby being a little fuck and always annoying the rest of her siblings is one of my favorite family hcs im ngl.

also as a side note, some physical hc's: megan summers is a brunette and except for her eyes (she has emma's eyes) a carbon copy of scott. ruby is blonde BUT she gets it from one of her uncles because emma is a bottle blonde. overall, she has more of emma's features on her. besides her powers, you can only see scott's eyebrows, eyes and shoulders on her.

last but not least i named ruby's twin christian after emma's brother (because fuck alex? i cant remember why they named their son alex in that au emma would never do that?) and he can do chlorokinesis<3 (honestly summers kids need powers other than telepathy & telekinesis it's getting boring atp)

ty for asking for an adhd girlie's hcs!! <3 have a good one x

Happy Father’s Day, y’all!

Ruby Summers. Alternate future daughter of Cyclops and Emma Frost. Possesses jet black optic force blasts and a super strong and durable “ruby” form, which slows her aging and eliminates her need for sustenance. By her own account, she has remained in this form for decades, over a fear that she may age “nearly 70 years in seconds” if she were to revert. With all the “time traveler from the future joins the present day team” shenanigans that are common in X-Men comics, she seems like an easy pick for an underdeveloped character to add a wild card element to a future lineup.

[thatawkwardmoth]

See, y'all I know I'm right with this one and y'all can't argue on it.

Scott Summers definitely uses his kids as a way to dodge every outing ever. He's an awkward introvert with an extrovert wife and girlfriend (and that's canon!). Homeboy would a hundred percent use any of his kids as an excuse to not go with. To not have to socialize that night.

He'll have a nice night at home with Nathan while Jean (and/or Madelyne) goes to a nice outing and get away from the baby. It's a win-win, he gets to stay home, they get to resume life as it was pre-baby.

He'll gladly spend all night playing dolls with Rachel and chasing her through the mansion, going on the usual dreaded bedtime fight if it means he won't be stuck in a crowded club or bar. He loves his team but dealing with drunk and loud and all over him is worse than dealing with a sleep deprived toddler.

He'll take the day to drive Megan to her dance classes and her riding lessons and sit in on them both. To cheer her on and to get out of whatever brunch Emma hinted at. Another win-win.

He'll spend the whole day with Ruby clinging to his legs as he makes plans and grades his students' work if it means he doesn't have to go out to whatever crowded venue Emma is doing business in. He'll opt out of that and deal with the tiny blonde demanding his attention.

It's an easy win for him, I repeat again and again. It helps him be a better dad and spend time with his kids. Be present and not have them pushed aside by his job and the hero gig. But also, it gives him brownie points in the woman's eyes because they thank him for letting them have time away from the kids (they know his tricks, he can't do it too often, they're telepaths) and he also gets to avoid having to awkwardly stand in a corner or next to his partner, trying to keep up with the conversation.

#remember that one issue in like…. bendis era#where we see his future kid with Emma and her name is ruby summers and she turns into ruby quartz#she’s never been mentioned again and is very gimicky but I think about that girl ALL THE TIME#what would Scott and Emma’s bio kid that they presumably raised be like#scott summers#x men

Ruby Summers!

We actually see her in Peter David's X-Factor! She has quite a few appearances actually in the dark future that Layla Miller comes from! (We also see an old semi-cyborged Scott Summers as well!)

I admit, I don't tend to count Ruby on my list of Summersian offspring, only because she hasn't made her way to this particular timeline. But if she ever DOES show up, I'm sure Scott would make a room for her too!

The thing about Scott and Nathan that will always be funny to me is that ultimately the whole "losing your child at a young age and not meeting them again until they're adults" is not a terribly rare beat in comics.

It's, in fact, incredibly common. Logan's got that beat with Akihiro. Raven's got it with Kurt. Xavier with David...maybe, to be honest, I've never been sure when Xavier first became aware of David's existence. I'll have to track down those comics.

Hell, Magneto managed to RAISE his kids and only learn they're actually his kids after they reach adulthood. Whereupon they became not his kids. Sort of. But then he got another adult kid. Whatever.

The thing that's funny about Scott though is that he goes through that plot beat, has the requisite angst about not being able to raise his kid and missing out on most of his childhood, and then promptly decides "okay, well, I'm going to keep raising this fifty year old man anyway."

It's subtly different from the other examples, I think. Akihiro was willing to acknowledge Logan as his father, but they were enemies for a long time. And while there is some cautious acceptance now, they're still not really a traditional father-and-son. Kurt acknowledges Raven and even tries to support her at times, but Raven's not the most maternal at the best of times. The less said about Xavier's fuck ups the better.

The hilarious thing about Scott and Nathan is that they actually do act like father and son. And eventually, that starts to make sense. Scott and Jean did, after all, raise Nathan for the first ten years of his life, albeit under pseudonyms and in borrowed bodies. And then, much later, they got to raise him for maybe a year more on Krakoa?

But those are things that get established later on. And Nathan's spent like thirty-to-forty years after that basically on his own. But for whatever reason, he sees this perpetually twenty-something dude insist on acting like his dad, and inviting him to family dinner and giving him Christmas presents and shit like that, and just kind of goes "yeah, okay. You're my dad now."

And it even extends to Rachel and Nate Grey. Because really, Rachel isn't their daughter. She's the daughter of a long dead alternate future version of Scott and Jean. She's under no obligation to go along with Scott's awkward attempts at fatherhood. And he really has no business trying to be a dad to someone who at various times is either his own age (circa X-Factor) or only a few years younger (current interpretation.) But nope, Rachel's their daughter. And she goes along with it, even when she's mad at him during the Emma years.

Nate Grey is even more bizarre, since he's Sinister's test tube baby from a parallel universe where Scott and Jean didn't even meet until adulthood. (Though it did seem like they might be getting somewhere toward the end.) But he's invited to family dinner too. And while he's not specifically named, I think it's important to note that there are THREE rooms in the kids' section of the Summer House. Not two.

Room number 17 is listed as "empty". But Scott's an organized sort of guy, if he built three rooms in the kids' section, then he meant three rooms.

(Also notice that there's an empty room in the brothers' section too. Maybe if Adam-X wasn't busy in the Mojo-verse, he'd have had a place to stay too?)

It's just funny to me. Other characters meet their kids as adults and are like "okay, well, we've missed so much time and opportunity, we'll have to cautiously find our way forward as adults". Scott Summers is like "Okay, well, you're my kids, so dinner's at six, bedtime's at eleven, and we'll talk about your homework later."

Edith doesn't like men and REALLY hates her Dad, and Ruby doesn't care about men other THAN her Dad.
