#happens on any device really

[sincerity--extreme]

Oh ain't it the best time for a device to simply stop working, literally out of nowhere? It's nearly Christmas, meaning almost no store with the tech support team is open, but even if they were, I have basically no money to my name, what the hell am I supposed to do now?

Charles representation enjoyed here again! I’ve not read much of the comics bc I can’t afford them but I just rewatched FC and I was wondering if Charles being paralyzed is the same in the comics (Erik doing it)? Do they often include that part of his story?

hello my inquisitive friend :] !!!! im more than happy to give some more info bout the origins charles' disability in the comics- to the best of my abilities that is !

while they don't include an origin for his paralysis in EVERY story/run, as far as i know there are three major ways charles loses his mobility (though like yourself, i havent read many of the comics so far, so i could be missing a few. this is the part where i invite readers to submit additional info if im leaving any out)

the very first manner of charles losing his legs was relayed to us in the original X-Men run of the 60's in issue #20

(X-Men #20: "I, Lucifer!")

before magneto was regarded as charles' main adversary there was the extraterrestrial lucifer (who sported the same color scheme, ironically. it wasnt as though lucifer came before magneto so it was definitely A Choice..) who charles would have a semi-reoccurring feud with for a bit early on in the series. during their first encounter, charles would corner lucifer in his lair only to have a stone slab dropped on him, disabling his legs indefinitely

the second manner in which charles loses his mobility- and the time where erik is the most involved and is most deliberate- comes from. Our Favorite Universe in 2001: The Ultimate Universe

(Ultimate X-Men #1: "The Tomorrow People")

as is typically how charles x magneto team-up arcs go, while charles and erik worked together for some time it wasn't very long before erik wanted to pursue more Dramatic Measures for mutantkind. and As This Story Goes, amidst trying to escape the savage lands sanctuary he and erik built, erik drove a metal spike through charles' spine, leading to his disability in this verse

lastly, we have the House of M- or more specifically its prequel miniseries, Civil War: House of M- verse in 2008:

(Civil War: House of M #2: "Revolution")

(Civil War: House of M #3: "Reign")

similar to Ultimate and the movies, this is another timeline where charles and erik team up. this time however, charles is more willing to follow erik's ideas after seeing the horrors of genosha upon reading the mind of a mutant who escaped the island, and the two seek to liberate the other mutants left behind. unfortunately, during their mission, a sentinel collapses the building charles and co. are infiltrating, leading to the loss of his legs

hope you had fun reading- i had fun typing up everything and looking back at these issues :] !

It seems I have lost all of my art on my computer. Very unfortunate

Does anyone else feel like the distain and complete dismissal of the “miscommunication trope” is….weird? Like isn’t that just conflict stemming directly from the characters flaws (especially a fear of vulnerability)? Which is a very human, bordering on universal, conflict to have. Do you want the characters to speak and act perfectly every time? I don’t get it someone explain

replaying dragon age inquisition is just an exercise in “the rebel mages would not fucking do that”

didnt wanna ramble more in my newest post but like. The implications of steven having 4 charizards in doors open is so fucking confusing, and unironically i am glad nobody takes doors open for characterization bc fanon steven would be even more confusing and worse. If we took s!3v3n characterization from doors open every interpretation of fanon s!3v3n would be "I HATE YOU IM GUNNA KILL YOU!!! IM YELLING AND IM GUNNA KILL YOU!!! THE YEAR 2010! SCARY! DIEDIEDIEDIEDIE" ( <- hyperbolization but literally how he is in doors open just exaggerated Literally only a bit. ) instead of a creepy tall guy who lurks in the shadows or whatever.

Canon s!3v3n in doors open and strangled ( not strangled red hes just kind of creepy and silent there ) is like. The mental asylum pov video on tiktok. Which is really funny but not a good character(*&^

I am certain its just a "he has four bc they spell out one letter of MIKI in each of their names in order!" and its probably just for that but like. whyyyy does he have four of them.

Who gave you four charizards. Did he clone more. Did he get that insane. I dont want to seriously think abt lore implications of doors open other than the small details it gives abt stevens appearance and mikis moveset, because it is once again, Not Fucking written Well its just GRRR ill KILL YOU i HATE YOU IM GUNNA KILL YOU!!! so its not narratively interesting, especially from characterization standpoint for steven/s!3v3n and therefore i dont trust it but God.

Why does He have four of them. Did they split. The seven (aka four) miki souls ??? omega s!3v3n. This is going nowhere.

belial is the worst tsc villian ever because his motivations make no sense and are quite frankly stupid. why did he spend a whole book putting an enormous amount of effort into possessing Jesse and killing a grand total of five people and very briefly summoning his brother to earth to fight one (1) Institute... like in what way did any of that help achieve his ultimate goal of crowning himself King of England I don't get it. mind you he's a literal Prince of Hell and claims he's the one who gave Lucifer the idea to rebel against God like truly why does he care this much 💀

it sucks to have to be scared to update the game, no matter the size of the update, because you have no idea if it's going to break your game or not (not to mention going through the process of updating your mods)

The fact that Alec got some Excellent Relationship Advice from a grumpy lesbian who thought she'd missed out on the love of her life just keeps running through my head. Like,, for all everyone knows he's a straight divorced man. He gets along in a very weird way with Ellie whom he clearly loves but tends to yell at and doesn't even address by her first name. It's not unlikely to the public that they slept together, but they would never. What did Jocelyn think she was advising him on? Why did he not follow that advice, because I'm like 99% sure it was about Ellie (whom he proceeded to ghost for three years after the second series ended, thus catastrophically failing to follow said Good Advice).

Because that's what usually happens in stories like this: someone says something momentous that didn't seem too important at the time it was being said, it would do nothing for the person who gave the advice (Jocelyn), who would just proceed to tragically miss out on the love of her life like she said, but the whole thing would gain a sense of closure by having the person she advised (Alec) get with the (platonic or romantic) love of his life. Thus having the advising character's tragedy serve a purpose, namely averting the main character's own, very similar, tragedy. But instead Jocelyn's words don't seem to have any sort of impact on Alec's storyline. He's just there to listen to her, maybe as a sort of opening to start her storyline, but the fact that it's him Jocelyn is talking to when there were others she seems more inclined to speak to? That's a bit odd.

Was the show trying to hint at something (queer)platonic between Ellie and Alec?? And at Alec being too much of an idiot to see what's right under his nose? Or were they trying to subvert queercoding by sort of queercoding the straight relationship in the series, but having the middle aged lesbians get together?

I don't know what they tried to do but I'm here for it

help I’ve started listening to my chemical romance 😭

About a month ago something happened with my swim instructor that apparently involved a very close call with a child in the pool, and she was never right after that. Nervous and jumpy and kept obsessively looking around at all the other swimmers. Two lessons ago, right after mine ended, she had a massive panic attack and had to be pulled out of the pool by the lifeguard. Last week she didn’t show up and I just had to go back home.

Now yesterday someone else from the org sent me an email saying my instructor is on indefinite leave and that tomorrow I’ll be starting with another new instructor (my third one in 6 1/2 months) . I’m really sad because I liked my second instructor a lot, and I’m worried for her. I think she was really traumatized. And nobody there really seemed to be taking it seriously (they were still loading her up with classes and kids). Typical American workplace to be honest

I’m serious, if you insist on going with “It was mental illness all along!!!” as a Twist™ or reveal in a mystery/horror/etc. piece, you need to write at least 5 more things where that’s not the case and you treat your mentally ill characters with respect to offset it, no more laziness, you wanna use this ableist trope you gotta pay in blood, sweat, and tears.
