#and in the comic Im still doing she's out of makeup and in pjs and it really highlights how like. soft. she'd look without dressing up

[bacchuschucklefuck]

Ur fig faeth is impeccable tho. Her fangs are so cute

thank u so much!! its so fun to draw those fangs on her theyre great

[doorp]

okay so this is different from what I normally post but I need to talk about paper teeth

I swear annabel Lee never more is a gateway drug for problematic gay people. happy to add avery grey to my list of problematic blenderables

(Off the top of my head the list includes Annabel Lee nevermore, PJ Bottoms, Isabel Bottoms, Elias bouchard the Magnus archives and now avery grey paperteeth. Okay wait maybe the cat from infinity train and Nigel Rio FUCK this list is getting too long but . You get the point.)

scarlet is honestly. prolly the funniest character in this comic. mother fucker heard another vampire hunter got turned into a vampire and was like. We will have a sleepover. We will do makeup. Oh god shes crying. Maybe finding out youre dead and that u can’t eat food or like feel the sun on your face anymore makes you sad.

She’s been SO lonely n is so excited to finally have someone to relate to, rushing in not thinking yknow maybe this is like the worst day of averys life, until she realizes she should have done a bit more research on avery before becoming involved with her. The way she slowly finds out that avery is Actually The Worst, a blubbering sopping wet serial killing cannibal cat, who is this worlds equivalent of a flat earther. Seeing her slowly figure out averys whole deal from third parties + from avery herself has been SO good.

also her being bad at socializing is so real. How do u meet people as an adult. People who aren’t serial killers or serial killer adjacent.

Another thing I like about this comic is that like if you pay enough attention to the other characters you can tell that avery is acting like. Against type. There’s a moment where Kelly is talking to avery and sort of teasing, not expecting genuine openness from her, And you see the shock on his face when she actually opens up. Being around scarlet and in this situation is actually making her like be different, in some ways better, i really believe she is more receptive to self reflection than she would have been before. I feel like she was a lot worse before idk. She is still th worst and I love her for that tho

Anyway scarlet and avery have taken over my brain its 4 am im going to sleep

Song that reminded me of paperteeth

[swimfuel]

after idk how many months im still heavily brainrotting over your "scott summers is a knight of doom" and your comparison of him w/ dave. hussie ran and tripped and fell so marvel could walk.

do you have any more classpect hcs for any other marvel characters? o5, champions, etcetc? your analysis are genuinely good

anon trust that you are not alone in this because every once in a while i remember that scott summers is a TEXTBOOK knight of doom and i immediately need to sit down

however i’m sorry to say that i don’t necessarily have any other hcs as solid as #that because scott was my #1 meow meow for months on end BUT i do have some thoughts that ill put under the cut!! disclaimer that it’s been a little while since i’ve read anything and i’m not nearly an authority on any of these characters

emma frost:

the easiest immediate grab for me is slayyyqueener emma frost as some kind of mind player (beyond the shallow association of psychic = mind)

emma interacts with the world through LAYERS upon LAYERS of fronts!!!! i think it’s really telling that, when i think about her powers, i don’t immediately think about the whole mind-reading/mind-control/whatever/etc — i think about her incredibly frequent use of psychic suggestion/projection to create illusions and fronts !!!

three outstanding but contrasting examples of this:

house of m #6 where she uses layers psychic commands to hide herself and her compatriots (a tactical use) — this was the very first example of her powers that came to mind, but she’s used very similar strategies innumerable times throughout the comics; her manipulation of others’ perceptions and expectations is a key part of her “fight style”, if that makes sense? she’s as powerful a psychic as anyone else, but she’s the only psychic i’ve seen with such emphasis on this style of psychic suggestion

some other comic (i’m thinking it’s either from late utopia era or some time in krakoa era, or maybe something else entirely but it was very lighthearted) where she’s going out on the town dressed in pjs or something with her hair and makeup undone etc etc etc but she uses psychic suggestion to make everyone around her think that they’re seeing her in full glam (personal use)

aaaand the elephant in the room…. inhumans v xmen and death of X with the whole illusion scott thing. i cant comment on this one because UMM.. as a cyclopswasrightist LOLLL I DIDN’T READ IT…. but from general osmosis i know that it generally revolved around emma using her abilities as 1. a crutch for her grief and 2. a way to keep the mutant cause alight through martyring scott and 3. a way for him to not be remembered as an m-pox victim. god can we just give it up with the inhumans i promise nobody gaf

so with that down pat… heres the hard part ? i struggle a lot with class assignment so i’m just going to run through some ideas:

thief of mind:

i think it could work! she has some of the showiness of the thief but it’s tempered by the calculations of a cerebral mind player

the thing with thieves is that their aspect-related selfishness is typically not selfishness for selfishness’ sake? … thieves do things that align with their own (typically… unique) moral code and what they see as the Right Thing To Do, with very little regard for the standards of others. that is VERY EMMA even as she goes through her reformation-era (see: wh*don’s run)

and the thief of mind classpect madlib (one who steals mind/through mind) works pretty well both considering her modus operandi and her skillset! actually wow this is really well-suited to her i actually can’t think of another class for her? so i guess it’s decided? emma frost is the THIEF OF MIND 🙏

jean gray:

okay so i haven’t read a TON of the older comics and a lot of krakoa era stuff makes me wanna vomit so i am not nearly as well versed in jean’s stuff as i am with emma but i did read some of the newer stuff with young jean

but before i begin can we please just laugh at this panel together. why does this artist look like they trace from optometrist ads

anyways she definitely suffers from the witchmaid subjugation bullshit, i think? where the maid follows a somewhat typical path of “subjugation —> realization —> agency” the witch is more continually limited by the narrative except when it demands for their particular talents and explosive power/influence over their aspect… the realized witch ultimately suffers for the advancement of the narrative

i thinkkkk… i think i’m gonna go with witch! considering the passion that defines jean and the scale of the power she wields (and is often too dead or cockblocked by the narrative to Actually Wield) as well as how she literally just cannot catch a break (it’s a bit strange to me how the mage is seen as Thee Suffering Aspect when the witch is right there but i digress)

god okay shooting into the dark here but maybe heart for her aspect? again, going past the shallow association of psychic/empathy powers = heartmind, she has the witchtrait of being surrounded by her aspect all her life — ie. identity issues and empathy

i think it’s fucking insane how neatly the dave/sollux/scott comparison lines up with the jade/aradia/jean comparison. holy fucking shit. i don’t know how intentional it was but jesus christ in heaven

god sorry i am just so sleepy i’ll come back with more thoughts later but here are some last shots in the dark

hank = a mage (for very similar reasons why edward elric is a mage: got their ass beat in the pursuit of knowledge/ways to solve their Big Problem)

kamala = a maid (?????) (if for no other reason than she reminds me So Much of my friend who is also a maid and more that i don’t feel like explaining)

amadeus = a page (light?) [pagebluster and overcompensation —> genuine development]

rogue = indya moore (not a classpect just a very very good fancast and this list feels incomplete)
