#event: hellfire gala

[oifaaa]

One time my ex and I talked about how the hellfire gala should have themes like the real thing. Like, imagine how a theme like celestial bodies would get reinterpreted by what the Marvel heroes know about space, filtered through each heroes individual themes and the format of high fashion.

Honestly hoping they incorporate themes eventually just so the artists have something to play around with

on my hands and knees begging this to mean something

My favorite thing about Namor being a mutant, is that he gives zero fucks about them.

Like Charles and Erik tried to get him join the council on Krakoa and his response was "if I wanted to, I could very easily sink this stupid island of yours, come talk to me when your ready to talk like real leaders" and then just walks off. What a king.

Human? Mutant? He doesn't discriminate, they can equally catch these hands if they mess with him, his people or his home.

lol I committed to going to the Hellfire Gala without fully. figuring out what I'm going to wear

okay but. What if I.. gamble on this dress from Aliexpress:

since there's still time to order it and see. This one I think is fun while being party. There is a sort of mesh but maybe that should be fine, it's also going to be kind of a cosplay event I expect so I don't think it'll be like. glaringly whatever...

and then keep some of the other options I scoped out on, like, Poshmark as a backup plan

(other Aliexpress options I do still like include these:

tho I don't looove the mesh on the left one, and the right one is like "somehow, I like this?" lol. But I'm not ordering 3 dresses off aliexpress lmao, I gotta... decide on one.)

what do you think is going on with jacks during the fall of x?

HC Spider Society has a huge formal event at the end of the year to close out all the missions (like when they take the averages of the year, register who went on how many missions, who did the most multiversal scientific research, etc)

And everyone gets all dressed up in beatiful formal attire but like

OVER their spider-suits

Like Pavi wearing traditional Indian attire OVER his already beautiful suit. He has his hair done up too

And everyone can bring a date, they get a free night pass to Neuva York. So you can bring your MJ or Harry or partner or whoever

And it's like Prom meets Hellfire Gala meets MET Gala

THEMES. Spider people dressed SUPER CAMP over their already silly Spider-suits. Miguel makes a speech thanking everyone for their hard work

And then it's just a night of Spider-people partying on the ceilings and walls going nuts and every time it goes so off the rails and SOMETHING always goes down

so much so that it's iconic at HQ and everyone is talking about it for months

The outfit you wear WILL be the talk of the town

IDK I just LOVE this.

Like imagine your Spidersona in their suit, but like... dressed to the nines over that. Dressing up ACCORDING TO THEIR SONA THEME. Getting a date and going to the Spider-Gala

I need this, this has to be a thing

(At the risk of being flagged again...)

We are celebrating Ares's (insert age for Young Adult Sims) birthday. Because his big sister, Athena, is on a mission to piss him off, we are extending the invitation to all his past bang buddies. No girlfriends (He's only ever claimed two: Val and Em)

Think of it like a bachelor challenge. Only instead of winning his heart, you'll enjoy a Wicked Whims flashback scene of your time with Ares. (And a shirt...maybe. @citylighten is working on a little somethin' something'. We'll see).

What are we looking for:

Lady Sims (Young Adult +)

Dress them in their party best (It's Called the Hellfire Gala)

What's their backstory and how did they meet Ares (in high school, doing cartel business, were they a one-time thing or casual buddies, are they still friend-ish now, or want him back?

No mythology names please (for the sake of my story, only the cartel family have God names)

CC is fine (no default replacements)

Submissions until July 21st will be accepted. The birthday event will happen near the end of the month. Giving the tag list (and the Ares stans) first dibs.

For the tiktok saga, has Eddie ever been invited to the Met Gala? And would he go? I feel like Steve might be more into it than Eddie, but maybe if there was a cool theme that year where he could wear something crazy? What do you think?

I definitely think that Steve would be more into it than Eddie, but not because Steve is more into fashion. He just likes to judge people.

One year Eddie’s manager tells him that he’s been invited to the Met Gala and asks if he wants to accept the invitation. Eddie, who only vague knows what the Met Gala is through Steve, is like, “Sure, why not?”

He mentions it to Steve a couple days later and says that he’ll try to get him a ticket if he wants. Steve is like, “…You do know those tickets are like, thirty-five thousand dollars, right?”

Eddie says, “…Excuse me?” and promptly finds out that they are nonrefundable too.

So, Eddie attends the Met Gala.

He specifically attends the 2018 Met Gala where the theme is Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination and definitely commits some kind of sin when he shows up as a literal crucifixion.

Specifically, his own.  

The year previous, Hawkins High named their new music room after him and it has pissed him off ever since because Eddie was crucified by that town. They hunted him down with the intention of killing him and no one in that town ever said sorry.

So, Eddie showed up at one of the biggest events of the year wearing an exact replica of the outfit that he’d been wearing during Spring Break of ’86. His leather jacket was water damaged and his Hellfire t-shirt was shredded and torn like it’d survived an animal attack.

He paid a very talented practical effects artist to make his scars look like they had been torn open and were bleeding and then to up the Catholic Imagery and to piss off a few more people, he did the whole crown of thorns and holes in the hands.

He wrote ‘Fuck Hawkins’ around the holes.

He made the local news channel in Hawkins and Eddie was not invited back the next year. He was pleased.

Reality Show: Pro Heroes Wives (Todoroki Touya Edition)

Todoroki Touya, his Pro hero's name is Hellfire.

Reference to Aizawa Shota Wife.

There is a reality show where pro heroes' wives are on television and paid to be there. It is filled with juicy gossip and pure drama. There are few wives in this second season who were kept out of the spotlight which adds mystery and theories to be created about who they were married to. 

The same winners who were in the group that couldn’t be identified are back this season as a surprise challenge.  Unlike last season, it wasn’t told in the very  beginning of this reason already revealed which Pro Heroes Wives will be featured

There are only a few left remaining without being matched which includes some of the well-known and underground pro heroes. Half of the cast already knew each other because their spouses have interacted on more than one occasion and are disqualified from participating in the weekend challenge of the show for those spouses. The others who did not know had to identify them, but the others did not spill any things that would clue who their spouse was. 

The only three people you know who are married are Aizawa, Shinsou, and by default Shouto’s wives. Aizawa and Shinsou's wives have gotten to know you very well and have hung out after this first season show. You were one of the three winners from last season. It was the funniest thing to see people mistake their husbands over and over again. 

It was also funny to hear the theories that other house members have for you because everyone is trying to figure out the other spouse in case of the elimination round. If you are able to guess correctly, whoever is on the hot seat, can stay while the other gets sent home. 

The Pro Hero Hellfire is unpredictable as far as the public goes. There is a mixture of hate and love toward the hero after an incident years ago. He had to go all out in a life-and-death situation. He had to do what had to do in order to come on top at any cost. He did lose his former hero rank, but remained within the top 10. 

Outside of the public eye, he is the private sponsor of those stores he destroyed with his flames back from the incident. He knew insurance would not be able to cover everything those people have lost. He may be an asshole, but he wasn’t heartless. 

What made you trend with Shinsou's wife was dressing up similarly to what your husband would do when he is out in public, another event of giving each other hints. It was the fact that Shinsou and Todoroki share similar tastes in dark aesthetics including the chains on the jeans. They both share the same placement of their tattoos whereas you used fake tattoos in the same placement. 

It was pure chaos and an argument being made by fans through all platforms. The arguments about who is married to whom.

The Mindjack and Hellfire fans are going at each other. 

Earjackfan#01 tweets: It has to be between Mindjack and Hellfire. *attaches pictures of the two pro heroes when they are outside of their hero suits.*

HellfireLeftScar tweets: This is evidence of [Name] being married to Pro Hero Hellfire *attaches pictures of the paparazzi and other pictures to support their claim*

MindjackSpeaker tweets: It is clearly Mindjack married to [Name]! *attach pictures of the two of you multiple times.*

MindSpeak tweets: All of you guys are idiots. Mindjack and Hellfire are friends. *Attached is a picture of Touya and Hitoshi going to a metal concert in disguise and another was taking pictures together at the recent Hero gala.*

HellfireScar tweets: That is not the same cat! All of you are f***king blind! *attaches Shinsou’s cat and yours* This is the identical cat *attaches todoroki's cat and yours* 

The social media you own has very little personal information about the expectation of your career and pictures of your cat along with beautiful scenery. The official account of Hellfire was filled with clues about who his spouse was. The picture always has his spouse cut out of the picture at your request. There were more pictures of the two of you have taken pictures that seem like “friendly pictures” where he has his arm around you with others. 

The picture that is really circling around was a year-old picture that Touya did not even know existed. It was a picture of a party where in the background Touya is kissing you and the light exactly hit on the outfits. It was blurry, but somehow people are trying to make connections between the outfits the two of you were wearing at that event in particular. It was in your favor that it was a mask theme. 

Touya changes his profile account to his cat poking fun at the cat theory. He also posted a picture of the two cats because he was taking care of Shinsou's cat while he was away on a mission. They look identical, but they were small details on their fur you could tell who was who.

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, I recently went into the x-men and I found my own dead with Charles and Erik AND I NEED READ MORE OF THEM BUT I SO LOST AFTER POWERS AND HOUSE OF X SO I DON'T KNOW WHERE CONTINUE, can u help me?

(alsoIlikeyoursdrawingsiwishbeingsoconstantwithmycontentlikeu)

i'll be very candid with you my friend: i'm totally lost too !!!!!!! your comic-reading journey is about as green as mine and so i cant personally give you a super great guide- but beautiful people on the internet exist who've done most of the dirty work for us when sorting through the stories you 'should' read so i'm borrowing them to help us both

you can read this article to read about one person's advice with exploring krakoa and- in their opinion- its most 'significant' stories, though to summarize the issues they recommend looking into:

House of X/Powers of X (which you should have already done)

X of Swords event

Hellfire Gala

Inferno

X Lives and X Deaths of Wolverine

Second Hellfire Gala

Third Hellfire Gala

Fall of the House of X/Rise of the Powers of X (also should have already done, however...) +Single issue: X-Men (2021 series) #35 aka Uncanny X-Men #700 is featured at the end of the FoX omnibus, though the omnibus excludes an extra bit at the end involving a cliffhanger for Charles's fate after he's arrested

if you want to dig a little deeper though, you can check out this article from another individual which includes another wave of 'relevant' (word used loosely as some can be considered more poignant than others) krakoa stories and stories related to it or set during the period.

it's a lot longer and more in depth than the last article, so again i only really rec peaking at this one depending on how deep you wanna go, or if you decide you want to explore more after reading the more 'key' stories. def wouldn't hurt to give it a glance just in case you read some summaries that pique your interest!

all in all, don't take these as concrete rules or guides to follow: comics are meant to be fun, these are just good starting points if you're feeling lost or overwhelmed. at the end of the day, you decide ultimately what you want to read and which stories interest you the most

happy reading !

Quicksilver enwreathed in gladioli at the Hellfire Gala this year! Him not ever having a design for the event while both his sisters, his dad, and his nephews have is fucked up, so I decided it was HIS turn to serve cunt this year. Design inspired by Romani designer Juana Martin with the initial concept of "dark roots/past = beautiful bloom". I also specifically picked gladioli, or the "little sword" lily, for their meaning and to allude to his knighthood. I wanted to add a rapier with an ornate belt/sheath, but ran out of time ;;

The Krakoa Era Reading List Cherik Version (PART 2):

4. Reign of X

Another very long series, 14 volumes of content! Similar to Dawn of X Cherik is not the focus of this series plot. However I did like this one a lot more and it introduced some elements that I really loved. For a brief summary this series covers the events leading up to the Hellfire Gala and all factors that went into preparing for it (ft. a LOT of flexing from Magneto XD). It does also cover the Hellfire Gala itself, which was super fun.

To start with the things I loved about it, there were a lot of queer characters and couples in both major plotlines and casual representation. The Make More Mutants™ law of Krakoa always made me feel a little icked out, because of its heteronormative implications. I was surprised to see this sentiment confronted by some of the queer characters themselves:

Pretty soon after this sentiment is expressed, we are presented with several solutions to the issue of same-sex reproduction. One of which is that science is advanced enough on Krakoa to produce a child using both parents DNA regardless of their gender or genitals (or lack thereof):

Another solution presented was that there is a LOT of coupling happening on Krakoa producing babies whose parents aren't ready or willing to raise them. Like. Excessive amounts of babymaking. To the point where people have actually had to start giving out contraceptives to slow it down. These unwanted babies are left waiting to be adopted by mutants or mutant couples who want them:

MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW!!!!!

Speaking of baby-making. Reign of X reintroduces several of Charles and Magnetos children who as of yet had not been mentioned in the Krakoa era. Including Legion, Onslaught, and Wanda (who shows up and dies immediately under mysterious circumstances RIP). Legion's storyline is intertwined with Nightcrawler's while they explore the darker sides of Krakoan society. Nightcrawler is hilarious and adorable in this series btw. Initially Legion is suspected by Charles to be behind the alias of the "Patchwork Man" who has been terrorizing young mutants on Krakoa.

(a moment of appreciation for how scared Charles is of Legion XD)

However after Nightcrawler is sent by Charles to confront Legion we find that this is not the case, and that it is actually Onslaught who is terrorizing Krakoa and feeding off of conflict and negative emotions. For some reason Legion decides to keep this a secret from Magneto and Charles as he and Nightcrawler work to hunt Onslaught down and stop him.

Onslaught must also be kept a secret from the rest of Krakoa, since the psychically-produced hate baby of the nations founding fathers might cause some discourse XD

Also Legion introduces us to the concept of non-physical psychic intimacy (kinda like the psychic intimacy that produced onslaught 🤔🏳️‍🌈?) which can be used by mutants who are unable to touch their partners without harming them. This psychic bond is demonstrated between a lesbian couple.

There's just. So many fun concepts introduced in this series. Most of the stuff above was in the last 2-3 volumes so it wasn't a HUGE part of the story, but a part I very much enjoyed none the less. The confrontation between onslaught and his biological parents hasn't happened yet but I desperately hope that there is a decent payoff. If not I can write one ☺️

As for how much I can recommend this comic based on Cherik-ness, I'd say it's worth a read if not just for the fact that Erik and Charles children are important parts of the story. Charles and Erik themselves don't get much character or relationship development and are just kind of managing the goings of the island like normal.

You can see my part 1 to this series under the tag #krakoa era reading list

Marvel Move's Hellfire Gala - Featuring Cam Long, Iceman, Carmen Cruz, Escapade, and Jumbo Carnation. Art by Luciano Vecchio.

I think Marvel Move is a little overpriced, but is overall a very good work-out app themed around Marvel heroes... though it has always been surprising how niche some of the pulls thus far have been - and this Pride event doesn't seem to be breaking that trend! Let's look forward to the audio debuts of Cam, Carmen, and Shela.
