We need a comics-only X-Men tag, badly.

I almost exclusively write about X-Men comics, though I use the occasional gif from one of the shows or movies (less so.) On Tumblr there's movies-only folks, X-Men 97 only folks, Evolution only folks, probably video games or mobile games folks, and of course, folks who enjoy more than one/all to varying degrees. I'm not talking about ship wars or which is better, I'm saying it's difficult to find the content you want AND tag it correctly for the right audience. It's only going to get more difficult once the XMCU kicks off, so I propose a tag for X-Men comics only posts/writing. We'd be building a social contract from scratch, but it's been done before.

I think leaving shipping out of it is wise, because the fic websites and shipping communities have it sorted and we need to follow suit. I've got a shortlist of tags that are never/rarely going to be used by accident, and hopefully are intuitive. I wanted it to not be something era specific, but I don't see Krakoa getting adapted and it has a few unique phrases. I want this to reach people who feel the same and want your opinion too. I'll do one poll, then the winner of that can go up against the best of the rest. Please tag anyone who's also comics only or comics primarily.

The Longfin Of The Lost Lagoon

An unexpected issue with his aircraft forces Cargo Pilot Kylo Ren to make an emergency landing on an uninhabited island in the middle of the ocean. He prefers not to call it a ‘crash’ but the un-flyable wreck on the beach suggests otherwise. He tries to send a message to his family but the on-board computer is bust. All he can do is hope that someone notices that he doesn’t make a check-in and then come to look for him.

But Kylo doesn’t know how long he’ll survive here. He has food that he was transporting on board the plane and it’s safe enough for him to use as shelter but food will run out eventually. He may go insane from the isolation before then.

But he’d be lying if he said that he weren’t enchanted by this island, with the lagoon in particular. He knows where he is geographically but he’s never heard of this island before; he’s sure that it wasn’t on any of the maps that he has previously studied. Part of the lagoon is hidden by a cave, giving Kylo extra shelter from the rainy nights. It’s strangely peaceful.

Kylo is completely unaware that this island is not completely uninhabited. A longfinned merman has lived in these waters since he was a small fry, having fled the terrors of his father’s clan in the sea. Here, he’s safe. His shining green tail gives him excellent camouflage beneath the lagoon’s emerald waters, meaning he can observe the human from afar.

Luckily for Kylo, the merman chooses not to eat him but instead, is curious about where he came from. He leaves some fish on one of the rocks inside the cave, the very same rock where Kylo comes to meditate every day.

Kylo gets the fright of his life when a red-haired merman pops out of the water to say hello to him. He calls himself ‘Hux’, a lone merman with no clan. He has so many questions for Kylo, wanting to know everything about him.

Not only is the lagoon enchanting, but Kylo quickly finds himself falling in love with this beautiful creature. At first, he merely appreciates having someone to talk to but the more time he spends on this lonely island, the more he finds himself craving every inch Hux is smart, quick-witted and oh-so beautiful.

Kylo has a realisation when he’s swimming beneath the calming waters inside the cave, holding onto Hux’s hands as they swirl in the sunbeams; he never wants to leave this place.

Can he really return to the sky when his love is in the sea?

Would you believe me if I told you Kit Fisto was one of my favorite Jedi? This dude who had his ass handed to him in 3 seconds flat by Palpatine? Yeah, that guy.

Also, wow, this type of hard lighting is difficult.
