Dude the 'take attention away from Scott' immediately makes me think of abusive situations, not even mentioning the fact these kids are so worried about the mental state of their professor. like guys thats not supposed to be your problem.
And its not like charles doesnt know about these kids pasts and like experiences with abuse, in the same fucking issue is cyclops backstory in which he is being manipulated and abused by Jack, who he actively was given orders by in a similar sense to Charles.
"He's still as dangerous as ever" LIKE BRO THAT IS A CHILD. How is he supposed to know Charles wont treat him similarly? Especially since Jack has moments where it looks like he could care for him, when actually its for personal gain. The kids gotta be fucked up, treat them with care, Charles.
And yeah, not all the kids have it the same way, like Jean has a mostly happy family at home by this point, why is she acting the same way?
Shes been told to trust the adults her whole life abd living in this perfectionist situation with stakes as high as her own life, of course shes gonna act without question. And he tells her his reasons (only her) but theyre stupid bullshit reasons.
Like the 'you have to be perfect in training so youre alive on the field' is fine in hypotheticals, but youre working the kids to the bone and also dont have to send them?? THEYRE KIDS??? Fight your battles on your own or with adults dipshit.
Anyways, my point is that its a dangerous message to hold Charles to this moral hoity toityness when hes so morally questionable all the time. Let these kids live at the school like its a boarding school and not military quarters and have real relationships and stuff. Provide a safe space for mutants, but dont make them fistfight dangerous criminals in the street. This us common sense I fear.

machete is like a delicate looking white flower, one where the petals turn transparent when it rains. vasco is a marigold for many reasons.
Ooo I like that! It never even crossed my mind to assign marigolds to Vasco, but it makes perfect sense. I had to look it up but the flower that turns transparent in the rain is called skeleton flower, and yeah, I can see how that would fit Machete.
I tend to associate irises, damask roses, and forget-me-nots with Vasco
And red carnations and poppies with Machete

"الخيل و الليل و البيداء تعرفني ... والسيف و الرمح و القرطاس و القلم" ، المتنبي
Translation: "the stallions, the night and the wasteland know me ... and the sword, the arrow, the parchment, and the pen", Al-Mutanabbi
A tribute of sorts to a man of many attributes.

Okay, this just makes me giggle every time I think about it; AFO calling All Might the Symbol of Impotence, before punching him so hard in the nuts that All Might's life actually flashes before his eyes.
WE ACTUALLY GOT THAT SHOT OF HIS LIFE BEING BLOWN AT AFTER OFA'S EMBERS ARE ALREADY GONE
IT'S JUST SOME NAKED SKELETON GUYYYY

"God grant that we may be guided aright, and that He will deign to watch over my husband and those dear to us both, and who are in such deadly peril. As for me, I am not worthy in His sight. Alas! I am unclean to His eyes, and shall be until He may deign to let me stand forth in His sight as one of those who have not incurred His wrath."
Mina...
Mina what the fuck are you talking about?
God doesn't deserve you Mina. It doesn't.
God doesn't deserve to dangle the promise of eternal peace to you. All righteous fearing woman capable of running towards ancient evil to save your dear friend. Insessant, and intelligent fiend who is all kind towards her love, and loved him with all of her might when he was not himself.
Don't blame yourself for the assault, and never think that you are guilty for not having the means to stop it. Mina can't tell herself "if I had been better" she can't. How many times must she torture herself with thoughts of hellfire that are so close in her mind, yet far in reality.
Mina tells that she is not worthy of His sight when god should grovel at her feet for forgiveness. How dare He to make her suffer like this. Mina is not a Martyr nor a Saint. She is not Saint Inés calling for the sword to fall so she can be freed, nor Saint Águeda screaming in joy as she finally died.
Mina's suffering is not holy, it's human. It's so human that it hurts to read. How were her ambitions in life greedy to incur god's wrath upon her? Why must she become another footnote on Dracula's horrible quest for power? (Why was Lucy not saved? Why?)
Mina is losing hope in herself when she is the most strong. She can't let herself become comfortable at the idea of a violent end if it means to be seen in god's light again. Mina can't become suicidal to beg and pray to the being that abandoned her in her most traumatic moments.
Mina may think that she doesn't deserve god, but it's god that doesn't deserve Mina.
