My artwork posted on ao3 for tyrsibs(twiceshy) in the @spnsummergen event. My prompt was:

Amara needed answers, and she knew she wasn't going to get them from Jack. She'd have to start with the Winchesters instead.

You can check out the summer gen collection on ao3 for a whole variety of awesome gen stories and artworks. 😄

Thinking about for turn of the century au in an instance where bishop/cable do go back in time and they are expecting the x men to be incredibly bigoted cause 1910s Jim Crow era. yes there are so many bigots in that period but the x men themselves? No not really. Maybe a bit ignorant but mostly from being literally unaware of issues going on in the world.

The kids aren't scared of bishop or treat him with any less respect than their own teachers, they are happy to hear about the future and the civil rights movement, down right excited about it actually; 18 yold Scott, unaware he's cable's father someday finds out that cable is gay and immediately wants to introduce him to Logan and Morph cause "our teachers are too! You should meet them. they always say how the community needs each other." And then the queer students....not sam nor rogue nor Remy parroting any lost cause mythos because "we knew people who actually lived through it, Union, former Confederate supporters, and former slaves, and none of what those damn 'history books' said was true to what things were actually like", sees the girls prepping for workers rights and suffrage rallies, kurt returning from after school volunteer work feeding the homeless, jean grey working on a speech for a local elite woman's club to convince them to set up college scholarship programs for native Americans, forge having a classes he teaches both on native American history and technology through the institute, and the general support and protectiveness they all have for kids like Evan, jubilee, and amara against any perceived threat.

Both men agree, this is a horrible time to be one of any minority, particularly any non white minority, but these kids are alright, and are gonna make the future brighter with their efforts.

OH ALSO

In the summer, Mountain also cuts his hair, its WAVY AS HELL but he has Mist shave the underneath and sides. Everyone except for Aether and Dew are so confused and almost mistake Mountain for a new ghoul. The band pack starts to panic because hey?? Where tf is our big guy?? Where is Momo???

Meanwhile Aether and Dew are cackling in the background as Mountain is like huh? Its me? Mountain? Hello??!

There's a lot of "WHAT DID YOU DOOOO??" as they mourn those luscious auburn locks. Meanwhile Dew and Aether just roll their eyes and tell Mountain he looks great and to ignore the loveable idiots that make up the rest of their pack.

Sunshine for real just pretends she doesn't know him. Even after all of the initial confusion and exclaimations. At least until Mountain lets her pet the shaved bits and then she's sitting in his lap purring as she nuzzles her face against that soft fuzz.

Logan, wide-eyed: Oh man…those are our idiots!

Uncanny X-men #189

Release Date: October 9th 1984

It's way too crowded, down here!

The Uncanny X-Men #189 - Two Girls Out to Have Fun!

Rachel and Amara are in New York City, admiring the buildings from the Statue of Liberty. Rachel thinks about her life in the alternate future where she has been trained to hunt mutants for humans. She cries, but tells Amara she just has something in her eyes. They decide to go to the Met to see art and to go shopping.

Elsewhere in the harbor, on a huge ship, the X-Men are wishing Storm farewell. She has decided to leave the X-Men since she no longer has her powers (see issue #185). She is returning to Africa, where she grew up. There are tears, hugs, and champagne as the ship gets ready to depart.

Also in New York, Jaime Rodriguez stops a couple of guys from trying to steal the necklace he found (see last issue). The necklace starts speaking to him again. It asks for Jaime's soul and in return, the necklace will (somehow) give Jaime "the world." Jaime screams "No!" and vows to get rid of the necklace.

At the Met, Rachel and Amara look at ancient Roman art and artifacts. Suddenly, Rachel psychically senses familiar thought patterns from someone nearby. It's Selene! Amara is angry to hear that Selene is nearby, as Selene is the woman who killed Amara's mother. Amara wants revenge. Rachel and Amara follow Selene's thought patterns to a nearby mansion, which they sneak inside. They find maids outfits and change into them to disguise themselves.

Meanwhile, in secret catacombs beneath the mansion, Selene meets with Sebastian Shaw. She wants to be the new Black Queen of the Hellfire Club!

Selene demonstrates her powers to Shaw, and he is very impressed. He feels like he has little choice but to accept Selene as the new Black Queen. Selene says she will return with a gift for Shaw, and she disappears.

Upstairs, Rachel senses Selene coming closer. Rachel sees Selene around a corner! She hits Selene with a psi-bolt, and Selene is down on the ground, unconscious. But then "Selene" transforms. It was Amara all along! And the REAL Selene comes up behind Rachel and grabs her by the throat. Selene places Rachel in a sort of trance so that she has to obey Selene. She does the same to Amara. Then, Selene returns to Sebastian Shaw with the entranced, slave-like Rachel and Amara as his "gifts." Shaw is shocked to see Rachel's resemblance to Jean Grey and he wonders if Rachel too possesses the power of the Phoenix.

Inside their minds, Rachel psychically works to free herself and Amara from Selene's powers. In the process, Amara gets angry at all the psychic intrusions and transforms into Magma. Magma melts a statue of Selene and causes an earthquake. This snaps Rachel and Amara/Magma out of Selene's trance, and back to the real world.

Back in the real world, Magma is also creating an earthquake. Shaw tells Selene to stop Magma, and Rachel psychically calls out for Professor Xavier's help. Soon after, Nightcrawler, Rogue, Colossus, and the Professor's astral form show up.

Nightcrawler teleports Selene away. Magma wants Selene back so she can kill her, but the Professor says his students do not kill. Magma calms down. The Professor confronts Shaw and Shaw says he has no quarrel with the X-Men, and that he was not the one responsible for taking Rachel and Amara. The team is able to leave without a fight.

Elsewhere, Jaime is attacked by another man in the subway. The man finds the necklace Jaime was carrying and picks it up. The necklace causes a huge fire and burns the man. A voice rings out -

"At last Kulan Gath is free! After countless centuries, my destiny is at hand -- to make this world mine forever!"

HAPPY LESBIAN DAY OF VISIBILITY!!!! ♥️❤️🤍💖💗

Book couples x Taylor Swift songs

Lover - Part 2

Track 2 - Cruel Summer is PoppyAlex from People We Meet on Vacation (or You and Me on Vacation for the Brits) by Emily Henry. I think this one is pretty obvious : vacation, summer vibes and an upbeat song for a feel good friends-to-lovers contemporary romance book ! I love Emily Henry and even if this is not my favorite book of hers, these two are very cute !

Track 10 - Death By a Thousand Cuts is TellaLegend from the Caraval trilogy by Stephanie Garber. I think this song is kind of perfect for these two : not wanting to say goodbye like at the end of Legendary from both of them ! Still writing pages for a story over feels very Finale with its almost-ending and true-ending, and love cutting like it hurt them both in Finale :) (art by @/artsiidaisy on Instagram)

Track 11 - London Boy is HudsonGrace from the Crave series by Tracy Wolff. Not going to lie they are the first couple that I think of when I think about a British boy, maybe because of how many times it was mentioned 😭 This series may not be my favorite, but it’s funny and I still like it (in the way you like an old series that you read when you were a kid), and the couple is actually really cute ! (Art : @/_jadee.art on Instagram)

Track 12 - Soon You’ll Get Better is HeronGrayStairs from the Infernal Devices trilogy by Cassandra Clare (⚠️Spoilers⚠️). This is not a romantic song, but it represent the three of them pretty well at different point in the series : when Will thought he lost Jem in CP, when Tessa and Jem lost Will in the CP epilogue (I cried so much omg 😭) and, I have a feeling, when Tessa will lose Jem at the end of his life. It’s not funny at all but well 😭 (art : @/giannyfili on Instagram)

Track 13 - False God is DanteAmara from the Darkverse series by Runyx. I feel the way this man WORSHIPS the ground Amara walks is a pretty good representation of this song ; and I’m almost sure he talks about her being his goddess at one point in the book, so. False God it is.

Part 3 coming soon :) Tell me if you have suggestions !
