#and seeing my ACTUAL classmates; friends AND relatives losing their houses and/or other friends/relatives/etc is very disheartening

[playawner]

Please, don't ignore what's happening in Chile right now. The fires has been invading our cities, our regions, and has taken many nature as well as people and houses. No person deserves to lose their house, their relatives, their pets, or EVEN their own life.

I myself saw the fires when it happened, they nearly went to my own house. I was able to see the smoke and fire at my own windows. It was bad until the point where we didn't had light for a day and internet for entire days, with terrible signal instead. If it wasn't for the wind, or for the firefighters and support attending in time, I would probably be homeless right now. Either that, or just dead.

We need your support, our cities are currently in danger by the ranging wildfires, and it is confirmed to be more terrible than any past events we had before. Any support is appreciated, even by just bringing small awaraness!

If you are Chilean, you can donate to the firefighters via BancoEstado, is at the first option in the reccomended foundations at the moment. I believe someone also made a paypal for people who aren't from Chile, if you have the link you can send it in reblogs!

Spanish translation below cut:

Por favor, no ignoren lo que está pasando en Chile. Los incendios han estado invadiento nuestras ciudades, nuestras regiones, y han quitado nuestra naturaleza, gente y hogares. Ninguna persona merece perder su casa, sus parientes, sus mascotas, o INCLUSO su propia vida.

Yo mismo ví el fuego cuando ocurrió. Casi llegó hacia mi propia casa. Podía ver el humo y el fuego en mis propias ventanas. Fue tan terrible que no tuvimos luz por un día ni internet por varios días, con terrible señal. Si no fuera por el viento, o por los bomberos y la atención hacía este a tiempo, lo más probable es que estuviera en la calle ahora. Eso o que estuviera muerto.

Necesitamos tu apoyo, nuestras ciudades corren peligro, y se ha confirmado que es más catastrófico que cualquier otro evento que tuvimos en el pasado. Cualquier apoyo es apreciado, incluso teniendo algo de conciencia!

Si eres Chileno/a, puedes donar a los bomberos en BancoEstado. Es en la primera opción en las fundaciones recomendadas por ahora. Yo creo que alguién también hizo un paypal para las personas que no viven en Chile, si tienen el link puedes mandarlo en los reblogs!

small info dump abt my sister and I’s x-men au fan characters:

Okay so our characters (Arcelia and Silica) are roughly the same ages as the group that was part of Xaviers institute and later the JGS, events with their story are mostly in line with canon, but diverge into an entirely different story around... like right after Wolverine’s death. Immediately after, even. 

ARCELIA: So, Arc’s an empath, but like, more than that. She can read, mimic, and alter neural responses. So more like a neuropath, but it’s primarily focused on the senses and physical feelings, so she calls herself an “empath”. She was born with solid black eyes to a very religious family; they didn’t cast her out or anything. Actually, they really loved her! But she had debilitating migraines, was hyper-sensitive to light, etc, so she was p much kept in the house at all times, homeschooled, etc. The result was a very isolated, very quiet child who had no idea what mutants were or that she was one. When her powers properly manifested, she was unable to control them and resulted in hyper-sensitivity to all of her senses so horrible she could not function. She was sent to Xavier’s and psychic blocks were placed to keep her safe and limit her powers. She kept to herself mostly, but enjoyed the school environment. 

Later on, M-Day, when mutants were almost eradicated/all depowered happened and Xavier goes missing, those psychic blocks are lost and her powers come back full force. She is again unable to control them, and dampeners are implanted in her skull. While she’s recovering, the events following M-Day happen (re: purifiers, deaths of her classmates, sentinels, move to Utopia). She briefly goes home, but chooses to go to Utopia with her surviving classmates. From then until the JGS is opened (where she ends up going to), her personality changes pretty radically. She becomes extremely passionate about mutants and their survival, cares deeply for those around her, becomes more outspoken and rebellious, etc etc. 

Now caught up to canon, she meets Silica, and alongside a canon character (who was MIA in comics until just recently so we Took That and Ran With It) form a team thats... well they 10000% agree w Summers so theres that.

SILICA: Silica’s backstory is much more isolated- she’s an extremely powerful mutant, can control matter (tho its limited to plastics for a long time for some reasons). At some point is taken into a secure facility and experimented on/trained/etc for a very, very long time. She ends up breaking out eventually, and is traded off to the JGS. She’s a natural born leader, the epitome of a Leo, and Can and Will fight everyone. She likes telepaths a lot. 

[ POST CANON CHARACTERS: these are all OCs that are like. they come after our plot splits from canon and therefore are genuinely ocs]

AIRI: Arcelia’s daughter. Arc goes on this revenge quest against the Purifiers, ends up getting tangled up with a certain clawed half-japanese mutant whos the son of a clawed mutant we all know and love, and unintentionally gets pregnant (it was thought that she was incapable of having kids re: terrigen mists). She has her at 18. Arcelia initially does Not see Airi has her daughter. There’s a combination of losing everything that had been driving her for so long suddenly, not having wanted a child at that point of her life, and feeling obligated to have said child bc no other mutants were being born, and then not knowing what to do. This gets resolved before to long but like, its a whole Thing. Surprisingly, her relationship with her mother is fine down the road. 

ROSAIRE: Rosaire is an oc who gets caught up in Arcelia’s life shortly after she is caught and tried for her revenge quest. IE, he finds her and keeps her in hiding because someone who cares about her is paying him to. He doesn’t like to get involved in superhero bs (despite being a relatively strong mutant himself). They become friends over the following months, and he sort of joins their team as a +1 when things blow over. When Airi is born, Rosaire, who has experience with babies, helps Arcelia take care of her. They end up being a thing but not until like, four years of being practically married. I would describe them more as best friends/co parents then dating, and their marriage was more of a celebratory event for everyone else, since they didnt feel like it was necessary. They were in it for the long haul either way. 

QUIRINA: Silica’s kid. Silica is actually incapable of carrying a child full term. But she was banging a phoenix host and things have a way of happening. Quirina is essentially a miracle child who is potentially destined to host a giant fire bird from space but she really just wants to Live a Bit. 

Zacharie: a fucking mess from a different universe/timeline who accidentally blew his up. He now floats in the void, eternally, living off of phoenix energy, trying to find someone who can help him rebuild it. Spoiler, its impossible, but he may just find a new home in the process.
