[weapon-xox]

may i request a cherik drabble?

en sabah nur doesn't recruit erik to his cause, he recruits charles, who is still heartbroken after the beach divorce. Charles follows en sabah nur, erik and raven find out and they're devastated + worried + want to bring charles home.

💕

Charles was his messenger.

Arguably, he was the strongest of the horsemen, but Apocalypse was using him as the fucking delivery boy. To send a message out to the people, spoken from his lips, transferred through Charles. Threats, warnings, to the people that their lives were about to become the survival of the fittest.

Let the best man win.

Magneto had been panicked, searching everywhere for Charles with Raven by his side. Thankfully, Hank had caught wind of where Charles was located, and the pair headed there immediately.

"Why would he do this, Erik? It just... It doesn't make sense. This isn't like him. Think he's brainwashed?"

He's still upset, Erik thought, but he kept that to himself.

When they'd reached Charles, Erik felt so many things. Relief, pain, anger, betrayal. Ironic, really, that after all this time Charles would be the one to turn his back on the mutants, the humans.

On him.

"Charles!" Erik cried out, thankful to see Apocalypse was seemingly no where in sight. He wouldn't have long to convince Charles to come back to him, to remind him that this isn't who he was, that he was still the same man that not long ago wanted peace and prosperity between both human and mutant alike.

Charles must've heard his thoughts, because suddenly Erik couldn't move, frozen in place, forced to plead with Charles from a distance.

"Let him go!" Raven yelled, running towards him, but Charles picked her up and threw her hard against the ground, far away from the two.

Charles focus on Raven had made him slip from Eriks mind, and he used the moment of freedom to move closer, quick and quiet, and by the time Charles noticed he stopped him again.

From this close, just feet away, Magneto could see that Charles was crying. Those brilliant eyes, red and puffy, his cheeks colored a spotty red from how hard he'd rubbed at them previously to hide the evidence of any tears. Erik wanted to hold him, soothe him, and tell him it'd all be okay.

Can you hear me, Charles? Erik thought, then added,

nod if you can hear me.

Stubbornly Charles didn't nod, but his eyes flickered away, and that was enough for Erik to keep going. He wanted to look back at Raven, make sure she was okay, but he still couldn't move.

I know you're hurt. I hurt you, I took away something very important and for that, my old friend, i am sorry. From the bottom of my broken heart. I did a lot of bad things, and I can admit that.

Charles wouldn't look at him, but Erik could feel his mental hold on him slip. Good, this was good. He kept going.

But please, my love. This isn't the way to get your revenge. If you want to kill me, then do it, if it will keep the entire world safe from you either getting them killed or killing them yourself, then please. I'm begging you. I hurt you, not the world, me. Kill me, Charles, do you undertand? Fucking kill m-

"ENOUGH!" Charles screamed with a sob, letting go of Erik with his eyes squeezed tight, gripping and clawing at his head, as if that could get Erik out of his mind.

"Charles," Raven coughed, holding an arm to her chest while limping towards the two, her blue body looking roughed up. "We love you, we miss you. Please, let us take you home... Let us help you stop this guy, is this really worth it?" Her voice was broken and rasped, and she coughed again, taking a deep breath in but finding it hard to do so.

"Everything you worked for. Everything we all fought for. What, does that mean nothing to you now? You're angry so you're going to take it out on the people weaker than you?"

Charles groaned, shaking his head rapidly, sobbing. "Get out of my head. Get out of my head!"

Raven shook her head, taking a single step, and Charles had her pinned flat to the ground with a thought.

"She's not in your head, Charles." Erik growled, growing angry, and Charles didn't stop him from stepping in front of him. He didn't stop him either, when Erik pressed a hand over his heart, and leaned in close. Charles let go of Mystique.

"Raven needs you, Charles. Your X-Men need you. The world and, if it still matters, I need you. I know I fucked up, I do, and I can never fix this. But if you come home, with me, and Raven... I will try, so hard, to get you to forgive me. And if you don't, I will leave, Charles. Forever. You won't ever have to see me again, but please. Spare everyone else."

Something switched inside of Charles. Maybe it was Eriks pathetic begging.

No.

No, it was Eriks pleading, for Charles to do the right thing. To remember who he was, what he stood for. Erik was right, he knew this, that if anyone were to be punished it should be him. For all the wrong he's done in this world, for all the people he's killed.

Despite all of Charles' begging. Pleading, for him to stop. It actually made him laugh now, and Erik looked hurt.

"Funny, isn't it? Why, I feel like I've got deja vu..." It didn't take a genius to understand what he meant.

"This is different."

"Is it? You believe that?" Charles laughed louder, throwing his head back to add to the theatrics. "Because actually, I don't think it is. Not one bit."

"I can't kill everyone with a single thought," Erik reminded him, and Charles just smiled, still so pretty despite how ugly he was acting.

"No, but if given the chance you would."

"Not everyon-"

"Ah! Silly me," Charles snorted, tapping a palm against his head in mock disbelief. "That's right, just the humans. That makes you so much better than me, darling, you're absolutley right."

"Don't-" Erik tried, but Charles brushed him off, literally, a flick of his hand had Erik flying back away from him, landing on the ground with a hard thud. Mystique crawled over to him, put a hand over his, and let out a small whimper.

"I think we lost," she whispered, and Erik closed his eyes.

"I think you're right."

amo tus dibujos sobre cherik, especialmente de la era de Krakora 💕💕💕💕

thank you so much for all the love for my krakoa!cherik art !!!! i offer a small gift: it's been a while.... <- it has barely been three days

[thecrashoutkid]

so in my headcanon if charles isn't paying attention he doesn't even notice when someone isn't speaking english because of the way his power translates people's thoughts and he's absolutely downloaded most languages from other people anyway, he got hebrew/yiddish/german from erik's brain.

meanwhile, because of a lot of factors he should be in therapy for, erik is only comfortable being tooth rottingly sweet to charles in german. which charles loves because he likes the affirmation.

german is a stern sounding language to someone who doesnt speak it so it often sounds like Erik cracking the shits at Charles to the fc team while Charles is just nodding his head and replying telepathically in kind.

Unfortunately, this causes everyone to become resentful of erik bc 'dude, stop being a dick, he's trying, stop yelling at him!'

It boils into a situation when Erik is saying something to Charles when Angel, who has seen friends being negged turn into something far worse, throws her magazine to the side and yells at him to mind his tone or get the fuck out. Everyone then dogpiles their misgivings on Erik being awful to Charles. 'He made you a sandwich yesterday and you yelled at him for five minutes, you dick,"

Meanwhile Erik, who was in the middle of telling Charles he looked like a cute little bunny with his nose scrunched up while he worked on a crossword puzzle and asking him if he wanted more tea, just looks at them confused because he loves charles so much?

and charles is equally confused bc erik has been crooning at him for the last ten minutes and now the team are mad at him?

basically it's;

erik: charles you look so cute with your nose scrunched up like a little bunny 🐇 💕 🥰 do you want some tea?

charles: no thank you my darling, but can i have a jaffa cake if you get up? thank you 🥰🧠✨️ ilysm

the team: we're sick of this ERIK STOP ABUSING CHARLES

cherik: ???

Fool’s Mate

This is a late Christmas present for @tickly-tufts!! It’s just something short and sweet but I hope you enjoy some vague post-Dark Phoenix cherik fluff 💕

“Honestly, Charles, with how much you’re squirming, you might as well be trying to crawl away. Am I really that terrible of a masseuse?” 

Erik looked as calm and smug as ever as he sat perched atop a shirtless Charles Xavier, looking as if they did this kind of thing every day. And they really ought to, Erik thought as he admired the sight below him. Charles was a marvel to behold- broad shoulders leading beautifully into the muscled planes of his back, freckles speckled across his skin like the sun had personally kissed constellations into his flesh. 

Calloused fingertips traced them, abandoning Erik’s original promise of a massage for a moment to see if he really could find the Big Dipper in Charles’ freckles. Charles shivering and flexing his shoulders to try to block out the featherlight sensation was just an added bonus. 

”I’m sorry, it's just- tender,” Charles responded, voice strained from where he’d paused his self-asphyxiation via pillow. His cheeks were flushed a shade of red that rivaled that of his lips when they’d first met, all those years ago. 

”Well, that is the point of me doing this in the first place, isn’t it?” Erik raised a brow and smirked. Even after all of these years…even after the new wrinkles and aches and pains and streaks of gray in their hair-when they’d both had hair, that is…

Charles still could not admit that he was ticklish. 

Well, at least not without the proper incentive.

Erik chuckled under his breath and ran his hands up the line of Charles’ spine to rub his thumbs deep into the muscles of his upper back. The action brought a groan deep from Charles’ chest. “I tried my best to make the paths through Genosha even, but I know that it’s still been hard on you,” Erik sighed a bit regretfully as he leaned down to press a gentle kiss to the nape of his husband’s neck. “I thought a massage could help ease the strain.” 

A warm haze of projected bashfulness reached towards Erik before Charles caught himself and pulled back with a huff of faux exasperation. “Don’t try to use chivalry to hide your true intentions, Erik. Even without my telepathy, I can see-ee-!” Charles’ words broke off in a squeak when fingers massaged just a little too close to his ribs. “-what game you’re playing!” 

Erik made no attempt to hide the shark-like grin from spreading across his face. “Is that so? In that case, are you prepared to face your impending loss, Charles?” He drawled, taking his time as his fingers crawled ever so slowly up the grooves of Charles’ ribs. Each movement was paired with the mental image of Erik taking pawns one by one, a visual that seemed to make Charles tremble even harder beneath him. There would surely be wrinkles in the sheets when Charles released his white-knuckled grip on them.

Admirably enough, he kept a tight lid on the giggles Erik knew were bubbling just beneath the surface. However, the gasp of realization and dread when Erik’s fingers stilled just below Charles’ arms told them both that it wouldn’t be the case for long. 

“E-Erik,” Charles started, his usual clear and prim voice trembling almost as much as the corners of his lips. “Have mercy. That place...you know I can’t-“

Erik leaned forward slowly -a shark sensing blood in the water- and tucked his face in close to Charles’ ear. The motion made him shiver, and Charles had to bite back the whine that threatened to escape his lips. This was a game that had been played before in a dozen different iterations- in some Erik emerged triumphant, and in others, it was Charles who claimed victory. They were two evenly matched opponents and there was no telling who would win each battle. Not until the very end.

In the shared and sacred connection of their minds, Erik offered Charles one final image- the King cornered and within Erik’s grasp.

”Check,” He whispered. Then he made his final move. 

Charles practically screamed when those deft fingers dove under his arms, massaging and poking and prodding and effortlessly driving him up the wall. His arms immediately jerked down, glued as tightly to his sides as possible, and still it wasn't enough. Erik’s hands worked unimpeded, manipulating Charles’ nerves as easily as they did metal. This stray thought clearly reached Charles if the giggled out ‘oh, piss off’ was anything to go by. 

Erik only smirked and watched with an overwhelming fondness as Charles cursed him to hell and back, first out loud and then in his mind when he could no longer form words. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d felt so content in a victory. They’d started this evening off with one game- a massage that Erik truly had intended to treat Charles to, and still would after this- but they had quickly veered into another. He was quite satisfied with their endgame though. 

Erik may not have been a good masseuse, but he was an excellent chess player.

[weapon-xox]

hi! so happy to see you taking requests ‘d love to see some cherik oneshots/drabbles!!

could i please request a scenario where erik gets jealous (of the people approaching charles and that charles is popular amongst his many students) and how he feels about his possessiveness? towards charles and maybe how charles reacts to that? (((jealous erik is so cute cuz he can never pretend to be nonchalant in front of charles but he doesn’t outright admit it)))

only if you feel like it! thank you <3

this is so cute, thank you for the request! i hope this is more or less what you had in mind 💕

"How do you do it, Charles?" Erik asked softly with a small, curious tilt of his head.

"How do you mean, darling?" Erik groaned. The mutant could feel his face go red in embarrasment, and instead of outright asking his question, he practically yelled his thoughts at Charles, hoping they were loud and clear.

The students love you. Everyone loves you. Why? How?

He didn't even try to think that they probably loved him for the same reasons Erik did. His love ran so much deeper, though, he liked to imagine. Something no one else had with Charles Xavier.

Charles didn't seem to pay him any attention. He kept his eyes on his work, a small hum in the back of his throat. When Erik didn't respond, he took a quick glance up with a quizzical brow, but was right back to grading papers. Erik stormed off instead.

Later in the day Erik felt a little less pent up. He had asked Charles to lunch, and he had cheerfully agreed.

And it was going well! The weather was beautiful, Erik could feel the rays of the sun soaking into his skin, it was delightful. He could feel Charles hand, held in his own, and it was bliss.

But it's funny how fast things can change.

A pretty little thing had come up to Charles during their outting. The professor, ever the lover of his work and far to nice to push anyone away ever, chatted her up. They talked about his work, mostly, but Erik didn't like her flirty undertones. An ugly feeling, deep in the pit of his stomach, threatened to come out of hiding.

Erik grimaced, tried to yell at Charles through his mind, pleading for him to stop this conversation, to tell her to go away and spend this rare moment alone together fully here, in spirit and mind and body.

Charles didn't seem to hear him. Or maybe he didn't care.

Please, Charles.

Nothing.

Erik let go of Charles hand, and he didn't seem to notice, so Erik silently waited for Charles to finish with a stoic bravado, and when the girl walked away, Charles smiled up at him. As if Eriks heart didn't feel like it could shatter at any given moment, as if he didn't feel like a kicked puppy.

Something faltered in Charles expression for a split second, but he was still smiling.

"Come on, love. Let's get back to the school, seems our lunch break is almost up."

Erik was having a hard time figuring out his feelings, understanding what this rotten, ugly feeling deep inside of him was. It wasn't anger, and he wasn't sad, it was something different, almost foreign to him.

So when one of Charles students ran up to him, excited and smiling and happily chattering at the professor, then looked at Erik, their face falling into an expression of disdain before chatting Charles back up, Erik realized what it was.

Jealousy.

Now was it fair to be jealous of a student? No, of course not, but Erik wasn't even jealous at the attention the student gave Charles. Well, maybe he was a little, but he was jealous of the fact that none of the student seemed to like him.

When the student rushed off, and Charles looked up at Erik, he softly spoke,

"You need to talk to me, Erik. Not in here," he gently tapped two fingers against his temple, shedding a tear. He was inside of Eriks head, feeling all of his pain of the day, his negative feelings and even the small resentment he felt towards Charles for his actions.

"I could hear you all day. It killed me not to respond but Erik, my love, you need to talk to me. Tell me, what is it that's bothering you?"

Erik felt angry now. Charles tone was nothing but kind, and maybe that's what made Erik start crying. Ball his hands into fists at his side and tilt his chin down in shame. There was no avoiding it now, and Charles wasn't going to let him take the easy way out. With a deep, shakey inhale, Erik muttered quietly,

"I think I'm jealous." Charles nodded in understanding and pressed on.

"Jealous of what, Erik?"

This made Erik seethe, veins in his hand straining with how tight his fists were curled.

"Of- Of you, you arrogant bastard! You've been listening, haven't you?! Why are you making this so goddamn difficult?"

Charles said nothing, never breaking eye contact, and so Erik continued.

"I... I think I'm... Jealous, of your relationship with the students. They don't like me. They see me as a threat. I can't seem to convince them to think otherwise and I swear, Charles, I am trying so hard to be good for these students- for you." Xavier nodded softly.

"There's something else. Tell me." Erik could've screamed.

"That girl. The one from lunch earlier- Why didn't you tell her to go away? That you were busy, that you were with someone? Why did she deserve your attention more than I?" Charles reached out, held Eriks hand softly, and pulled it to his lips in a gentle kiss.

"One more?"

"Why... Why am I here, Charles?"

Charles... Wasn't expecting that one.

The professor took a few moments, the longest moments of Eriks life, it felt like. His lips stayed pressed to Eriks hand, those beautiful blues closed, and finally he lifted his head to speak.

"Erik, you must forgive the kids for being so hesitant. They know of your strength, of your power," Charles blushed a bit at the thought and cleared his throat. "They are just children, they stick to who they trust. Give them time, Erik, and give them a reason to trust you. They will come around."

Erik felt a little better. He could understand that, actually, and now that they were talking about it he just felt silly. Erik had a way of letting his emotions get the better of him.

Charles smiled and continued.

"That girl? Just a very devoted follower of my work. If she had tried to make any sort of move and, believe me, she wanted to," Charles tapped his temple again with a smirk that made Erik have to smile a bit. "I would have told her, well, my darling, lovely partner here wouldn't like that very much. And I do not believe I would, either, so please move on."

Erik chuckled and rolled his eyes, wiping a tear from under his eye with a quick thumb. Charles took both of his hands.

"You are here because I need you here."

Erik didn't push him any further, instead pulling his hands from Charles own in lieu of holding his face, leaning down, pressing rough lips to soft ones. Charles closed his eyes, held the back of Eriks head, and when they parted Charles let out a breathless "Talk to me next time, I will ease those mean thoughts of yours. I'm sorry I made you speak them outloud, but I think it's just better if-"

Erik cut him off with a kiss. When he pulled back, Charles chasing after his lips for a moment before pouting, Erik rubbed a thumb against his cheekbone.

"I'll talk to you next time. I promise. I'll work on these feelings, and I will gain those kids trust." Charles smiled brightly.

"Thank you."

hello, me again :) seems like summer is kicking ur ass. i would feed u summer fruits myself but since i can’t, eat them for me? 🥺 but no you’re not ending anything (asks or otherwise) on a depressing note, not on my watch. so! answer some more: 3, 12, 17, 27, 30. also, i love ur ask box title. truly feels like i’m dropping a letter for a dear friend

P.S: thank u for ur unwavering support of my holmesposting & denethorposting! 💕💕 i hope u know that i’m the same w ur cherikposting + can’t deny that they’re v amusing & so is ur commentary on them lolll

aaaaaah I am smooching you platonically!! I actually like summer quite a bit more than winter, but I suppose I have a good amount of Dread coloring my experience. Rest assured that I am consuming summer fruits at maximum velocity! Just this morning I horked down an unadvisable amount of mango (although there really isn't an amount of mango that's unadvisable besides. none) and I hope you're doing the same!! The horrors persist but so does fruit. And thank you for complimenting my ask box! I quite like it too, I really wish I had a similar cozy-looking mailbox irl that was full of the lovely messages from friends I have here! Also: ofc I will always be rooting for your holmesposting and denethorposting! Recently I've been debating whether I prefer holmes/watson as a qpr or a romantic relationship (both. both is good. they might be in a sam/frodo situation here). Thank youuuu for supporting my cherikposting as always! They're so silly and I hate them but that's why they're special to me <333

also. me learning you read my cherik commentary and find it amusing:

On to the actual questions!!

3. What are some of your pet peeves?

Time to get meta with it: when people ask for my pet peeves. I'm never able to come up with something Normal so either I say something actually true that's kind of niche and end up getting weird stares, or I panic and just make something up that's not true and end up spending time feeling bad for lying even though, really, who cares. My autism's kryptonite: pet peeve questions.

12. Something you want to monologue about?

Since I'm still in cherik prison, it looks like there's only one option. Sigh. There's something really tragic about ideology, especially ideologies that are more-or-less aligned, tearing people apart. When an ideology has the power to interfere with a (GAY) relationship, it thereby cements itself as a part of the self. It's more than identity, it's more than a motivator, it forces characters to become figureheads. Of course this is obvious for Charles and Erik specifically, that's been their purpose in the comics since the 60s (and this is especially important in the symbolism/allegory heavy world of x-men comics). Unfortunately for me, I just think their conflict is so much more interesting when they're actually together! They're constantly forced to deal with the cognitive dissonance of the most important person in their lives representing an obstacle to their deepest beliefs. And that's fascinating! I don't think they have to constantly be at the brink of divorce to be at odds, either. From my perspective, they probably increasingly like each other the more they fight, those absolute freaks.

17. Space, enchanted forest, magical kingdom, or underwater city?

Enchanted forest! Let me be an ent!! Let me shepherd the trees!!!

27. What fascinates you about humanity?

A passion for knowledge (of any kind!). People can spend decades studying a single topic, people can spend hours upon hours writing nonstop about a character. That love is so mysterious and beautiful to me.

30. What is your favourite way to create?

I love brainstorming writing ideas by listening to music. If someone opened my brain during my near-daily music session they'd find cumulative hours of animatic-style storyboarded narratives mapped onto songs. I know other people do this too, which makes me SO happy.

I try to because I love them, and that’s why sometimes I fall into that trap of “I need to adequately convey how happy this comment made me, I can’t just say ‘thank you’’ and then I leave it for too long. Also sometimes I don’t have the spoons at that moment. But I appreciate every last one of them.

5. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

I love angst, but I love a happy ending even more, so in my fic the angst usually gets resolved. A fic that regularly leaves people in tears, though, is At Samhain, but the ending has hope.

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

So many happy endings! ☺️ One of the happiest might be my Merlin Age of Sail AU, The Seven Seas , which has a very happy ending after a lot of angst and heartache.

7. Do you write crossovers?

No, not really.

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Not really personal attacks so much, but I have received snide comments, character bashing and absurdly wilful misinterpretations. And always on anon of course.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Yes, I do. I’m a proud alumni of multiple Pornathons in the Merlin fandom. When I write kink, it tends to be PWP of the kind that’s about losing control, or pushing the lines of taboos. In my longer or more plotty fic it’s more emotional, focused on the characters’ connection.

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I once had someone write a fic that had the exact same plot down to locations and minor details and even almost the same dialogue as one I was posting. Like a (bad) rewrite. It was very weird.  

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes, a few, which I’m ever so grateful for. 💕

12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No. I’m honestly not sure how that would work for me. 😅

13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

Joe/Nicky really is the fulfillment of all my shippy hopes and dreams. 😍 Beyond them, maybe Cherik. I like the drama. 😂

14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

A Cherik bodyswap fic, set between XMFC and Days of Future Past, while Erik is imprisoned. I love the premise and what I have so far, but it’s been so long that I’ve been in that fandom.

15. What are your writing strengths?

Conveying emotions and believable dialogue 

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

Transitions and being overly dramatic, which is probably connected lol

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I do enjoy it in sprinkles, if it’s done well. Endearments, curses, stuff that mostly won’t need a translation footnote but grounds a character in a different cultural background. 

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

I wrote stuff before I knew about fanfiction. Before you could find (and easily post) stuff on the internet. But the first fic I wrote and posted was Harry Potter, gen with very, very heavy wolf star undertones 😅

19. What’s a fandom/ship you haven’t written for yet but want to?

I don’t really have an unfulfilled craving right now, and I tend to focus on one fandom, and even one ship almost exclusively, but I’m a little surprised at myself for never having written Sterek. 🤔

20. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

That is so hard to pick, but two favourites are Shalom Malak for XMFC and If You Abide With Me for TOG

Tagging, but obviously only if they want to @falcon-fox-and-coyote @tobebbanburg @pinkninjapj @beepbeepsan @isabellehemlock 💗

M - Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.

And

B - A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.

For the ask game! 💕

M - Name a character that you'd like to have for a friend.

Bucky Barnes. I'm a really loyal friend, but I also tend to fuck off on my own, in my head, and forget how fast time goes by. I have friends who don't mind that, and I feel like Bucky wouldn't either.

B - A pairing – platonic, romantic or sexual – that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.

Fun fact: the majority of the ships I ship began as "wait, who?" I never really knew about shipping until the Marvel fandom, Cherik and FrostIron specifically. And I actually started shipping Cherik, FrostIron, and WinterFrost thanks to RP accounts I followed on twitter.

Thanks for asking! A to Z asks.

Tag Game: Get to Know Your Mutuals <3

Thank you @mapofyourstars for tagging me in this!! I enjoyed doing this!! Everything is under the read more because it's really long.

What's the origin of your blog title?

Both parts of the name have a story. The name is Lenna Kasra. The first part was made while i was searching for names for an oc I was making and I loved It, because my real name also starts with an L and I have a weaknes to names that start with L. The second one was made while I was playing Knights of the Old Republic ( it's a star wars videogame kinda old, just random info for the moots that don't what I'm saying to not get lost 💕) It has a randomizer on the part while making your name and that was the surname it appeared, Iit kinda fit so I liked It and that's the story ☺️.

OTP(s) + Shipname:

Charles + Erik (Cherik) Padme Amidala + Anakin Skywalker (Anidala) Obi-wan + Satine (Obitine) Remus Lupin + Sirius Black (Wolfstar) I'm sure I have some more but those are the ones that I remember making an actual brainrot in me

Favourite colour:

Oh there are so many... Mainly Pink both pastel and kinda Fucsia, Green has been my favorite forever and Blue

Favourite game:

I really don't know, I'm going to list some of my favorite games and sagas: - All of the Kingdom Hearts saga, I love them all, though I do have a favorite of the saga. Birth by sleep, my favorite one of all the saga. - Knights of the Old Republic, I'm going to mention only the first one because I still haven't played the second one. - Hollow Knight. If you like metroidvania platformers with beautiful artwork and music I really recommend this one. I took me a long time to beat It, because I'm awful at many of the bosses of the game. - Stardew Valley, sometimes I just wanna chill and live in my badly automated farm. I really like It. - The Sims 4, I'm going to be sincere. I just love it because I'm allowed to be dellusional. Right now I have a x-men playthrough and no one dies, It so beautiful

Song stuck in your head:

Abracadabra by Lady Gaga

Weirdest habit/trait?

I usually need really specific stuff. Like to be able to sleep correctly I need to listen to music and disasociate. If I don't do it in many days I start to become really mean and start to jump at really stupid stuff, it calms me. Also I tend to forget everything, which is really annoying because I can remember at what day specifically and the time of day something happened but if you ask me what is something you told me 5 minutes ago is completly erased from my mind. It really anoys people.

Hobbies:

I love to crochet, embroider, draw and play videogames

If you work, what's your profession?

Right now I work at coloring characters in an animated film and I do part time at theatres selling tickets for the shows and stuff.

If you could have any job you wish, what would it be? Realistically?

I wish I could live of crochet and I'd love to try streaming games, chating and crochet. But I really don't know if I would be good at it. But I'd like to give it a shot. I used to want to work in the videogames and animation industry but I got really burnt out during my studies and my passion for it hasn't returned.

Something you're good at:

I'm good at anything art related, I like doing stuff and creating it. it calms me down a lot. I also started doing Ludosport, for the majority of you I think it doesn't ring a bell, It's basically lightsaber combats. You learn many ways of fighting with a lightsaber and you compete with other people. I really enjoy it and the community is really nice.

Something you're bad at:

Cooking, I literally burnt a pizza once. Not a bit burnt, it was completly black, so yeah, don't leave me alone in a kitchen.

Something you love:

Simply put art, books and technology

Something you could talk about for hours off the cuff:

X-men, Zelda, Star Wars, different dragon types from How to train your dragon

Something you hate:

Definitly cooking and sometimes my own mind

Something you collect:

Right now I'm collecting all Zelda amiibos and every character figure of Disney Infinity. My marvelous partner did gift me all seasons of X-files and I love it so much.

Something you forget:

Simply said, everything. But with more details, I forget meetings, birthdays, where I put my keys... You know everything that makes your day a bit harder if you forget stuff. Last week I had an hour scheduled to go to work to and my boss called me to ask me if I could go to the office before entering the theatre. And mentally I was like "What do you mean I'm scheduled today". I WAS SCHEDULED, I just didn't remember that conversation ever happening. Before anyone gets worried, I had agreed 2 days prior that I was free, it was written down on my phone. It just scared me a lot, because one thing is forgetting your keys and another is forgetting you have to go to work.

What's your love language?

Definetly gifting things, I'm not a very touchy person (I actually prefer little touches, not a PDA person) But I enjoy gifting stuff to my loved ones, and when I can't buy them stuff they like I draw or crochet it.

Favourite movie/show:

I'd say the X-men movies and the Star Wars movies. Funny enough the first film I ever watched of any of the two sagas was with my father, so my obsessions with this stuff is his fault. I remember watching DOFP in cinema with him because he wanted to see it and I knew nothing. Afer that we watched both Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix in cinemas too. So that's cool. I don't think I have a prefered one, I like the sagas. But I suppose if I had to choose I'd choose the first ones I saw with my dad: X-men DOFP and Star Wars episode 1 (I also love episode 2 and 3 a lot) Shows is a bit harder to choose but I love the X-files and the animation series Clone Wars.

Favourite food:

Chocolate I suppose? My partner is always suprised that I don't have a limit to how much chocolate I want. Like if I have a chocolate cake, it has everything made out of chocolate.

Favourite animal:

Definetly cats. But I also adore dogs. I had a dog as a child and he was the best, my father and I still have his toys to remember him by.

What were you like as a child?

I was a very shy and silent girl. The type that no one remembered that was there, the one that tachers loved for being silent and also hated for being too silent. My parents adored how I would always manage to sit still and not bother them and that I was able to handle adult conversations.

Favourite subject at school?

Definetly art and maths. I enjoyed the logic behing math, once understood it was easy. I enjoyed calculating stuff, I remember I used to do the extra math work because I managed to understand the logic behind it and it was so rewarding when I was right. And I loved every teacher I had in arts, they were amazing and I wish them the best, they made me love to draw and encouraged me to always try a new medium to express myself.

Least favourite subject:

Sports, I'm asthmatic so you can imagine how fun it was but nowadays I do enjoy doing some moderete sports. I just don't run much but I have seen that working ot my muscles does help me to not lose my breath as much.

What's your best character trait?

I'd say that being able to listen to people. I like helping people around me and many friends have told me that I am a good listener, though I do talk a lot but like that I care when I'm listening to them.

What's your worst character trait?

My shyness for sure, I am overcoming it slowly and I've started to not care that much of strangers opinions but I do get really shy on family gatherings or important stuff.

If you could change any detail of your life right now, what would it be?

I'd love to know what I want to do with my life, I find no interest on what I'm working right now and I just don't know what to do. I'd love to do something that fuels me as a job.

If you could travel in time, who would you like to meet?

Vincent Van Gogh, he seems like a very interesting character to me. I've redrawn some of his artworks during art classes back at school and I really loved studying about him.

Again thank you so much for tagging me to do this @mapofyourstars I really enjoyed doing this, I've never felt the need to participate with my moots in a fandom so much as this one, so thank you all for being so welcoming!!

I'm gonna tag here people that I don't think have done it but I'm really not sure, don't feel pressured to do it ❤️

[gerec]

chank anon back again (perhaps i should have a different name? valentine’s anon since i am now your secret admirer? :D), here to say you wrote hank wonderfully and i loved the tone of devotion you set for him as always standing by charles! that is exactly how i like to read them in canon, hank is SO ride or die and he deserves all the praise and rewards for it. their friendship is so underrated~

also, i fully respect your thoughts on charles/hank as a bromance! i too usually prefer to read them that way in canon because there’s something so sacred about hank’s devoted friendship without any other underlying dynamic… he’s ride or die for charles just because he is, there don’t have to be any other feelings involved :’)

i hope you don’t mind if i come into your inbox at random times to pick your brain over cherik and x-men rarepairs!! i know you probably won’t, but i am a little in awe of you as an inspirational fandom old and wish to humbly pay my respects with the courtesy that a stranger on the internet is owed ofc

i hope you had a lovely v-day, or if you did not celebrate then a lovely february 14th!! 💕

Aww Anon that's so sweet you can choose whatever name you want!!! I am so happy that you liked the little fic I wrote with Charles/Hank; I love trying rare and unusual pairings, which is why I have such a non standard selection of stories lol. You are ALWAYS welcome to come in and chat with me, on or off Anon (that's entirely up to you :D) - I would love to share ideas and chat about everything/anything fandom with you!!! I appreciate your kind words very very much!!!
