Things I want to see in the new X-Men era

Anole getting a boyfriend

Kitty Pryde exploring her bisexuality more and getting a girlfriend

Bobby Drake getting a consistent love interest that isn't an OC or an f-lister

Karma getting a consistent love interest that isn't an OC or an f-lister

Beto to finally come out

Sensing a theme here?

[waywardsou2]

I dont know if it's just me but Ive been watching the X men movies ever since I watched Deadpool 3 and u cannot help but compare the treatment the mutants get to the treatment of LGBT people. Like the parallels are uncanny (pun not intended), every single movie a lot of the themes and conversations could easily over lap with LGBT issues and struggles. Now I'm sure that was probably not intentionally at all on the writers part but every single time. I can just see it.

Idk is it just me?

(also the fact that I found out Deadpool and Wolverine are both canonically queer (Deadpool in the movies and comics and wolverine just in the comics) has been messing with my brain a little bit so I may be seeing something that isnt there)

I would like to believe it but I know it's probably wishful thinking

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH FROM THESE TWO

Joseph Christian Leyendecker was born in Montabaur, Germany, to a family of Netherlandic extraction, on March 23, 1874. The family immigrated to the United States in 1882, and settled in Chicago. From early childhood, Leyendecker drew images on any available surface, a tendency that his parents encouraged. As they were unable to afford private art lessons for their son, he was apprenticed at fifteen to a Chicago engraver, with whom he began his career by designing advertisements and book illustrations. During these years, Leyendecker also took night classes at the Art Institute of Chicago. By the time he was nineteen, he showed a mature technical mastery of the illustrator's art and, with his younger brother Francis X. Leyendecker (1877–1924), he traveled to Paris to study at the Académie Julien. The brothers returned to Chicago in 1898 and established a studio there. Both soon gained numerous commissions for magazine and advertisement illustrations, and in 1899, J. C. Leyendecker produced his first cover for The Saturday Evening Post, one of the leading mainstream American publications. Leyendecker's association with the magazine continued for the next four decades. With his holiday covers for the magazine, he virtually created the popular image of Santa Claus and the New Year's baby that Americans know today.

Suddenly in great demand, the Leyendecker brothers moved to New York in 1900. Their work, characterized by what might best be called a discreet male homoeroticism, typically portrayed handsome young men, particularly athletes, soldiers, sailors, and muscular working men, as heroic figures, recalling the classical ideals of the French Academy and the sinuous lines of Art Nouveau. By 1914, J. C. Leyendecker had accrued enough wealth to build an estate in New Rochelle, New York, where he lived with his brother, his sister Augusta, and his lover Charles Beach (1886–1952). Leyendecker met Beach in 1903, when the young model from Cleveland first posed for him. The artist was impressed not only with Beach's handsome face and physique, but also with his ability to hold poses for extended lengths of time. Their relationship lasted until Leyendecker's death. Over the next thirty years, Beach's image as the "Arrow Collar Man," as well as Leyendecker's other representations of him, became one of the most widely circulated visual icons in mainstream American culture. In this capacity, Beach became the symbol of American prosperity, sophistication, manliness, and style.

Beach was the main model for the "Arrow Collar Man," the advertising figure of the Arrow Collars and Shirts Company and an icon of urbane American masculinity

For forty-nine years, Beach functioned as Leyendecker's model, lover, cook, and business manager. The household was extremely careful in maintaining a strict, even secretive, privacy. Although Beach's features were much in the public's gaze, few actual photographs of him or the Leyendeckers are to be found. Beach, presumably at Leyendecker's instruction, burned virtually all correspondence and many art works after the artist's death. The last years of J. C. Leyendecker's life were overshadowed by financial concerns, as he had spent as lavishly as he earned at the height of his career. By the 1940s, the major magazines increasingly supplanted artist's cover illustrations with photographs. As a result, Beach and Augusta sold many of Leyendecker's art works, which now bring hundreds of thousands of dollars at auction, for a pittance. Leyendecker died at his home in New Rochelle on July 25, 1951. Beach followed him in death within months. (Full article)

”can’t two guys just be friends?” nope im making them kiss idc

Some people are mad that I said that wolverine is canonically bisexual in a previous post (that has 2,700+ notes so thank you btw). Everything I’ve read about the current run points to him being bi even if it isn’t explicitly stated yet. AND it points to him being poly. The point is - the worst Wolverine could be queer seeing as 1) in an alternate reality there has been a gay wolverine and 2) the current comic run points to that world’s wolverine being queer. The label was not the point. The point was also that homophobia has no place in marvel spaces because many marvel characters are queer, implied or explicitly. And even if the character isn’t confirmed to be queer, let people ship whatever characters they like. It doesn’t harm you in any way
