“I’m proud of you angel, you know that?” He lifts one hand to cup my jaw, caressing my cheek with his thumb. “Go lay down the law, baby. This is your house. You make the rules.” He dips his head to kiss me softly. 
this is our place, we make the rules and there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you dear have i known you twenty seconds or twenty years?

“Well anytime you get the urge to assassinate her,” my sister begins comfortingly, “just remember they would never have been married for long.” Her lips curve up. “A gryphon flier with an attitude problem? Sgaeyl would have incinerated her within a week.” 
Well...she's not wrong.
I'm shamelessly stealing this from twitter, but writers !! Quick, reblog with the last line or two that you wrote, no cheating.

So anyway, speaking of Dreamlight Valley, last night i had a dream about it except it was Dreamworks instead of Disney and here's what I remember about that fucking monstrosity:
Shrek is the first villager you unlock naturally, and every time you hang out with him, that shitty midi version of All Star plays in the background
Donkey is there too and he offers to make you waffles (he never does)
Fiona was also there. That is all I remember about Fiona
Puss in Boots and Kitty Softpaws were villagers but their house was almost always inaccessible, mostly because i presume there were in there having crazy cat sex at all times
Will Smith Fish from Shark Tale moved in but immediately died because he just appeared in the plaza and had no water so he flopped around until he died thank god
The two dudes from El Dorado were there and were roommates and I thought that was pretty gay but where the fuck was Chel
Every Hour on the Hour King Julian from Madagascar showed up in the plaza and hosted a Mandatory Dance Party
Barry B Benson from Bee Movie was there but every time you spoke to him he would quote the Bee Movie Script in its entirety before getting to any actual quest dialogue
Instead of Remy's restaurant, Po from Kung Fu Panda hosted a dojo where he teaches you to beat the fuck out of any villagers you don't like
Hiccup and Astrid were there and were roommates (Good for them, they're canonically married after all) and so was Toothless but he was Concerningly Off Model I was scared
Megamind was there. That is all I remember about Megamind.
The Penguins of Madagascar weren't technically villagers but they kept showing up all over the valley to spy on me
Boss Baby showed up at one point and I kicked his ass thanks to the kung fu Po taught me
The game ended when Moses from Prince of Egypt showed up and called upon God to smite the village and my game cartrige caught fire irl

hey i’m sorry for bothering you with this question but i can’t remember where i read this scene… it’s one where remy is in jean-luc’s study after he k*lled belladonna’s brother; jean-luc is very mad breaking the news to remy he’s being exiled. then remy asks what he would do if he couldn’t find a way to survive — something like that — and jean-luc replies something along the lines of “then my son… you steal from faith”. i thought it was from HOC trilogy but i can’t find it! maybe it’s in coda? (i’ll definitely reread everything when i have the time)
Okay, I had to check this one too! It's in chapter 20 of Arrow of Time, The Reconciliation. It's on p. 347 of the print version. And the quote is 'you steal from fate'. Which is... I know I got that from somewhere, but I can't remember where. Was it from Gambit (1999)? Or from X-Treme X-Men? For the life of me, I can't remember now. Anyway, I think Remy says to Rogue, 'Let's steal another one from fate', and I took the line from there, but it all escapes me now. 🤔
And can I just say how wonderful it is that you connected with all Remy's childhood moments, the ones with his father. I'm so happy they resonated with you. I have ... thoughts and feelings about father/child relationships. They always touch me in some way. Glad you felt the same way too, through my words. 🫶🏼

i’m sharing this detailed assessment of remy lebeau’s mental health to provide a deeper understanding of his character. as many of you know, remy is a character with a rich and often difficult past. his personality and experiences are shaped by a blend of trauma, neurodevelopmental conditions, and even the impact of a surgery that altered his brain. this analysis offers a detailed look into how his mental health impacts his behavior, relationships, and decisions — considering his background, neurodivergence, and the impact of trauma. by examining these aspects, i attempt to create a more nuanced portrayal of remy, one that i severely miss in canon storytelling.
while these interpretations blend canon and headcanon, they serve as a grounding point for how i write remy and how he moves through the world. if you're interested in exploring any of these dynamics further in our writing, i'm always open to collaborating and discussing how they can be incorporated into our stories together.
neurodevelopmental conditions:
remy navigates the world through the lens of both autism and adhd, which significantly shape his interactions and experiences. his adhd manifests as challenges in maintaining focus on tasks that fail to capture his interest, often leading to impulsivity, restlessness, and a tendency to act without fully considering the consequences. while he can hyperfocus on activities that ignite his passion — such as honing his skills, nurturing certain relationships, or delving into specific intellectual pursuits — he frequently neglects other important aspects of his life. this dynamic creates a chaotic internal landscape, where he swings between extremes of vigorous activity and complete inertia.
remy’s impulsivity, especially, can lead to risky behaviors that endanger both himself and those around him. he often charges into confrontations without a plan or makes decisions that lack forethought. this impulsive nature arises, also, from a blend of his neurodivergent traits and the heightened emotional states triggered by his trauma. in moments of stress, he may resort to thrill-seeking behaviors as a means of escaping overwhelming emotions or asserting control in chaotic situations.
in addition to these traits, remy grapples with specific challenges related to attention and focus, such as difficulty maintaining concentration on tasks, susceptibility to distractions, and struggles with organization and time management. his hyperactivity manifests as restlessness and an ongoing need for movement, while emotional regulation proves to be a significant hurdle, exacerbating feelings of anxiety and stress. executive functioning issues complicate his ability to plan, organize, and execute tasks effectively.
remy’s autism further influences his sensory processing, communication style, and emotional regulation. although he is adept at masking these traits,he often grapples with feelings of social disconnection and misunderstanding. his tendency to intellectualize emotions and disengage from social subtleties can make him appear aloof or distant. while routine and structure provide him with comfort, his adhd often pulls him away from strict adherence to plans, leading to frustration and anxiety. he is known for subtle stims, such as tapping fingers, humming, and rocking. remy also vocally stims through echolalia — repetitive sentences or quotes from movies, social media, etc. 
trauma disorders:
remy’s life is profoundly shaped by the multiple layers of trauma he has endured, culminating in both c-ptsd and ptsd. his childhood was marked by abandonment, violence, and a relentless struggle for survival on the streets of new orleans. it fostered hypervigilance and a strong mistrust of others. these early traumas have instilled patterns of emotional dysregulation, and, as a result, remy often experiences a fragmented identity, feeling disconnected from his sense of self and grappling with conflicting versions of who he is — the charming scoundrel he presents to the world versus the vulnerable individual he conceals.
dissociation is a strong symptom of his c-ptsd, though not cause exclusively by it. he frequently feels detached from his body or experiences episodes where reality seems distorted. it hinder his ability to engage fully in the present. his disconnection from emotions and past experiences complicates his ability to process grief, joy, or trauma, often causing him to feel lost in his own life. additionally, remy struggles with emotional intimacy; after a lifetime of abandonment and betrayal, his c-ptsd prompts him to shut down emotionally. although he can project a charming facade, deeper feelings often remain hidden. he may appear level-headed in dangerous situations, a defense mechanism learned in childhood, where vulnerability was seen as a weakness. however, these repressed emotions can resurface later as nightmares or panic attacks.
in addition to c-ptsd, remy carries ptsd rooted in specific traumatic events that haunt him; the mutant massacre in the morlock tunnels, his experiences under sinister or apocalypse, those days lost in antarctica trying not to day — to cite a few. these experiences manifest as flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, and nightmares, often compelling him to relive moments of betrayal and extreme danger. the interplay of c-ptsd and ptsd creates a constant state of tension for remy, where even minor stressors can trigger intense emotional reactions, ranging from rage to profound sadness or withdrawal. this relentless turmoil leaves him feeling overwhelmed and trapped within his own mind.
a significant aspect of remy's struggle is his hypervigilance; he is perpetually on high alert, scanning his surroundings for potential threats, whether real or imagined. this state of vigilance sharpens his skills as a thief, enabling him to detect even the slightest shifts in his environment. however, the mental toll of this constant vigilance leads to perpetual stress and fatigue. additionally, remy suffers from recurrent nightmares that force him to relive the terrors of his life, disrupting his sleep and making restful nights elusive.moments which escape him once awake, though his subconscious remains reeling in the aftermath. he also grapples with flashbacks triggered by certain situations, which transport him back to his childhood or formative years, especially during instances of physical violence or coercion. compounding these challenges is a deep sense of internalized guilt, exacerbated by his ptsd, which manifests as self-doubt and a belief that he deserves punishment, often extending to feelings of responsibility for his abandonment or mistreatment.
remy’s traumatic history has instilled in him a profound fear of abandonment, making him hesitant to forge close relationships. his rejection sensitive dysphoria amplifies this fear, causing even minor criticisms or perceived slights to feel deeply personal and painful. this can trigger intense emotional responses, sometimes leading him to overanalyze interactions and spiral into feelings of inadequacy. to avoid perceived rejection, he often goes to great lengths, even if it means pushing people away. this paradox leads him to sabotage relationships before they can deepen, acting out in ways that drive others away. when he does connect with someone, he swings between craving closeness and fearing it, resulting in anxiety and emotional upheaval.
personality development:
trauma has significantly shaped remy lebeau's personality, leading to traits associated with borderline personality disorder. his intense fear of abandonment, emotional instability, and pervasive feelings of emptiness are deeply intertwined with his experiences of betrayal and neglect. remy's tumultuous childhood has given him a profound sense of worthlessness and a belief in his disposability. this history fosters chronic distrust, making it difficult for him to form close emotional connections and compelling him to view relationships as fragile and conditional, always anticipating betrayal.
this instability can lead to volatile relationships, where moments of connection quickly devolve into conflict or withdrawal. when feeling threatened or vulnerable, he resorts to defensive mechanisms such as sarcasm or emotional detachment, shielding himself from potential hurt. despite forming attachments, remy has learned to suppress his softer emotions, presenting a charming façade that keeps others at a distance even when he deeply cares. however, in rare moments of safety he may allow himself to be vulnerable, often accompanied by feelings of shame or regret.
remy’s anxious attachment style, rooted in his traumatic experiences, manifests prominently in his relationships. his intense need for closeness and validation often clashes with a profound fear of abandonment. while he projects an image of self-reliance, beneath the surface lies a deep dependence on others and an aversion to solitude. this tension may lead him to avoid situations that force him to confront his emotional vulnerabilities, downplaying his need for connection.
remy’s internal fear of rejection makes it difficult for him to fully trust or open up, causing misunderstandings and conflicts that arise even without conscious intent. instead of verbalizing his attachment, he expresses it through actions — demonstrating commitment by helping marie or ensuring her safety — while avoiding direct discussions about his fears. this overcompensation reflects a desire to prove his worth without confronting the emotional aspects of the relationship. ultimately, his reluctance to engage in difficult conversations stems from a belief that addressing issues could jeopardize the connection, leading him to prefer silence as a protective measure.
emotional detachment & dissociation:
detachment refers to an emotional or cognitive withdrawal from certain situations, people, or feelings. while it serves as a protective mechanism against emotional pain, it can also hinder the depth of relationships and experiences. as aforementioned, remy often struggles to form deep emotional connections, even with those he cares about. his past experiences have taught him that intimacy can lead to hurt, prompting him to instinctively keep others at arm's length, despite his longing for connection. he may find it challenging to express his true emotions, opting instead for a cool, indifferent, or sarcastic demeanor in difficult situations.
rather than sharing his feelings of fear, shame, or anxiety, remy adopts a stoic or detached persona. he perceives emotional vulnerability as a weakness that could be exploited, a lesson learned from his childhood experiences of betrayal and mistrust. this guardedness is particularly evident in his romantic relationships; although he feels deeply for her, he often avoids meaningful conversations out of fear of rejection or abandonment. remy tends to compartmentalize his emotions and experiences, mentally separating his past trauma from his current life. this coping strategy allows him to navigate day-to-day life without being overwhelmed by memories of childhood abuse. however, this compartmentalization can be problematic, as repressed emotions may resurface during moments of stress or vulnerability.
dissociation represents a more extreme form of detachment, wherein an individual mentally disconnects from their surroundings, emotions, or even their sense of self. this response is common among those who have experienced trauma, providing a means to escape the reality of their pain. remy may experience moments of disconnection from himself or his surroundings, feeling as if he is observing his life from a distance. 
this defense mechanism, developed during his childhood, helps him cope with abuse or exploitation by mentally “checking out.” he often feels this numbness during stressful moments, conflicts, or instances of intimacy when emotions become overwhelming. in high-stress situations, remy might zone out, functioning on autopilot. this dissociative response can occur when he is reminded of past trauma, even if only subconsciously. remy may feel as though he is “playing a role” rather than being his authentic self. this form of dissociation detaches him from his true identity, causing him to adopt a more confident, daring persona. his transgender identity intersects with this experience, as feelings of dysphoria or disconnection from his body can reinforce his dissociative tendencies.
impact of sinister’s brain surgery:
perhaps one of the most defining moments in remy’s life was the surgery performed on him by mr. sinister, which fundamentally altered parts of his brain. this procedure, an exploratory craniotomy that affected both his amygdala and hippocampus, has had profound consequences on his emotional regulation, memory processing, and impulse control. the amygdala plays a critical role in processing emotions like fear and aggression, and the hippocampus is essential for forming memories and linking them to emotions. by tampering with these areas, sinister left remy with a heightened sense of emotional detachment, making it difficult for him to connect emotionally with past experiences and people.
this detachment manifests in a blunting of emotional responses, particularly when dealing with memories or relationships that should be significant to him. he experiences a disconnect between his emotions and his actions, which can make him seem cold or distant even when he's struggling internally. the surgery has also exacerbated his impulsivity, making it harder for him to control reckless behaviors or pause to reflect before acting. this is further compounded by his powers, which require him to channel energy without fully understanding the long-term effects on his brain and body.
impact of the hearing loss:
as one of the results of the brain surgery, remy’s had partial hearing loss. this fact can influence his mental health in several ways, particularly exacerbating some of his symptoms. remy feels even more anxious when crowded spaces are also noisy, trying to overcompensate by focusing on visual cues — that in turn aggravates his mental fatigue and feelings of hypervigilance, not to mention the sensory overload from attempting to understand both visual and auditory input. his hyperfocus on ensuring safety and detecting danger through non-auditory cues could also aggravate ptsd symptoms, leading to heightened stress responses. so he seeks solitude, which in turn reinforces his social avoidance and further promotes his feelings of isolation.
the additional mental load of dealing with partial hearing loss worsens some of his adhd symptoms. it might increase his distractibility in settings where he struggles to hear or create extra layers of frustration when his brain is already trying to compensate for executive dysfunction. depending on his mood, the situation may lead to perceived incompetence and low self-esteem. and, as someone who already grapples with complex identity issues, remy might see his hearing loss as a further complication of his identity. it is a further step into losing control of who he is, adds more vulnerability to his sense of self.
coping mechanisms:
remy’s relationship with food and cooking is just one facet of how he copes with his complex mental health landscape. however, this passion is tinged with a complicated history; growing up in a food-insecure environment, remy often associates food with scarcity and survival. this can lead to disordered eating patterns, such as binge eating during moments of emotional turmoil or restricting food intake as a misguided attempt at control.
he may engage in self-sabotaging behaviors, undermining opportunities for happiness or success as a form of self-punishment. despite knowing the harm in these actions, he continues down dangerous paths. remy finds solace in his powers and the thrill of his work as a thief, or even in casual sexual encounters. while these activities provide an adrenaline rush that distracts him from emotional pain, they also serve as a double-edged sword. the high-stakes nature of his lifestyle can lead to increased impulsivity and risk-taking behaviors, resulting in encounters that exacerbate his trauma.
another significant coping mechanism is his reliance on humor and charm. remy often uses wit as a shield, deflecting deeper emotional discussions with sarcasm and lighthearted banter. this strategy allows him to engage socially while maintaining a safe distance from vulnerability. however, this behavior can prevent him from forming genuine connections, leaving him feeling isolated even in the company of others.
remy’s partial hearing loss is a more recent challenge that impacts his mental health, although he manages it with a mindset focused on neutrality rather than optimism. he employs adaptive communication strategies — such as lip-reading, situational awareness, and, when necessary, assistive devices. this is less about pride or strength and more about maintaining his autonomy and clear communication. socially, he tries avoiding overstimulating environments, preferring to engage in spaces where he can rely on non-auditory senses and cues like body language and touch to navigate interactions. in moments of frustration, he uses neutral self-talk to accept his disability as a fact of life rather than as something to overcome or define him. 
in moments of acute distress, remy may retreat into solitude, preferring to deal with his emotions in isolation rather than seeking help from others. this withdrawal can lead to cycles of rumination, where he becomes trapped in negative thought patterns, reflecting on past traumas without a constructive outlet. his desire for self-sufficiency often clashes with his need for support, creating a tension that can spiral into greater emotional struggles.
while remy's coping mechanisms serve as protective barriers against the pain of his past, the maladaptive nature of some mechanisms also hinder his ability to form deep connections and fully engage with his emotions. recognizing the limitations of these strategies, he’s been seeking therapeutic support to explore and address the underlying trauma that shapes his behaviors:
medication management: to complement therapeutic approaches, remy's treatment plan includes a combination of medications to help manage his symptoms and enhance his overall well-being. a comprehensive evaluation by a psychiatrist helped identify specific medications that could address issues such as anxiety, mood instability, and emotional dysregulation. remy is on multiple prescriptions, such as sertraline to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression, and also assist in reducing the intense emotional swings he experiences; lamotrigine, a mood stabilizer that helps regulate his mood and reduce impulsivity, by mitigating the extreme highs and lows associated with bpd, fostering a more consistent emotional baseline; quetiapine, an atypical antipsychotic, prescribed to manage symptoms of emotional dysregulation and impulsivity; used primarily to treat adhd, ritalin can help remy manage symptoms related to focus and attention. as part of his gender-affirming treatment, remy monthly injects testosterone to support his transition, a crucial aspect of his treatment to improve his body image and self-esteem. remy also supplements his diet with omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, vitamins b and d. 
therapeutic approaches: given remy’s complex mental health landscape, a multi-faceted therapeutic approach is crucial. under the guidance of his therapist, jericho drumm, he participates in emdr, somatic experiencing, and narrative therapy, which help him process trauma and explore his personal narrative.
emdr can help remy process and integrate traumatic memories, reducing their emotional charge and helping him develop healthier coping mechanisms. focusing on the body's sensations through somatic experiences helps him reconnect with his physical self and release trauma by encouraging him to process emotions through bodily awareness, which could be particularly beneficial given his history of detachment. narrative therapy may aid him in reframing his life story, helping him separate his identity from his trauma. by articulating his experiences, he may find new meanings and strengths, fostering a sense of agency and resilience. in addition, remy also takes part in group art therapy, allowing him to express himself creatively and connect with others who share similar struggles. this combination of therapies provides him with a holistic support system, fostering healing and personal growth as he navigates his emotional landscape.
supportive relationships: building a reliable support system is vital for remy’s recovery. encouraging open communication with trusted friends or mentors can help him navigate emotional complexities. group therapy or support groups designed for individuals with similar trauma backgrounds can provide community and validation, fostering connections that reinforce his healing journey.
self-care: establishing a consistent self-care routine is also crucial. this might include setting aside time for creative pursuits, such as cooking or painting, allowing him to express himself and unwind. encouraging him to explore his culinary interests through healthy meal preparation could help him build a more constructive relationship with food. engaging in regular physical activity that he enjoys serves as an additional outlet for stress relief.

“Rem,” Liam hauls me close, heedless of the blood coating my leathers. “Talk to me.” My lip quivers.  “Liam.” The way his name leaves my mouth is more desperate than I’d like. 
This chapter was supposed to be angry but now it’s sad too so sorry about that except for the fact that I’m not

X-Men: The Animated Series - Season 1 (1992-1993)
Ok, so I just finished watching Season 1 of the X-Men and honestly, it holds up well. Like, really well. Disturbingly well. The show is really good at portraying the struggles of oppressed groups and the bullshit bigots throw at them. This is very prevalent in the Sentinel storyline, which is the main story arc of the season.
Honestly, I enjoyed it. Like, yeah, there were a few moments that I wasn’t vibing with, as a whole I can confidently say it was good. I am very excited to jump into Season 2.
As usual my live reactions (? I guess. I mean, I write these as I’m watching. What do you call a text version of a reaction?) are below the cut. Gimme like a couple weeks to watch Season 2. 
Episode 1 - “Night of the Sentinels - Part 1”
Ok, so as our introduction to the world of the X-Men, I thought that was alright. Honestly thought we’d spend more time with Jubilee to flesh out the world a bit more, but eh, I’m too bothered. Certainly got more outta this 20 minute episode than any of 60s Spider-Man 20 minute episodes, this actually had decent action and a plot. But of course it comes with a level of 90s edge, which isn’t my particular vibe but I don’t hate it. I’d honestly say my biggest gripe with this episode is it was quantity over quality, it introduced pretty much the entire main team, but didn’t really do a lot in terms of characterisation. Not to say that it didn’t do any, every character is very much in character this episode, it just felt a little shallow. I expect this to be remedied by the end of the season.
Characters introduced:
Jubilee / Jubilation Lee
My sheer lack of X-Men is about to come through. I have next to no idea who this is. I’d vaguely heard of her before, but as far as I’m aware she isn’t in the Fox films, so I’m just not familiar. Which is fine, because it allows me to get to know her as the show continues, which is what a show is supposed to do with its characters. Anyway, I think her powers are weirdly vague and not really explained, but you kinda get the jist of them after a bit.
Sentinels
I was not expecting Sentinels right off the bat, but they do create an immediate threatening and domineering presence. So I checked the Marvel wiki and apparently these specific Sentinels are the Mk IV variants, I think that’s what they are in Earth-616, as it seems like they’re something new in this continuity.
Rogue / Anna Marie
So I’m vaguely aware of the Ms. Marvel situation in this show, which leads me to wonder if she has flight and super strength in the comics? Cause she doesn’t in the films, at least I don’t think she does. It’s been awhile since I’ve watched them.
Storm / Ororo Munroe
As Shakespearian as ever, Storm is here. She honestly raises the question for me, are there actual people that talk like her? Like, seriously her dialogue would fit in a Dickens novel.
Gambit / Remy LeBeau
“wooimbouttamakeanameformyselfere”
Cyclops / Scott Summers
I have nothing to say about Cyclops. He’s just kinda here. He’s a bit boring. I hope he does something later.
Beast / Henry "Hank" McCoy
Another case of “do people actually talk like this?” Like who the fuck quotes books and shit mid conversation? “Teri, you quote vines on a daily basis.” Touché
Morph
So going into this, the only shapeshifter mutant I knew about was Mystique, so finding out about Morph was a surprise. I actually did a bit of digging around them. Found a few things: Originally they were supposed to be another guy, but the show runners didn’t wanna kill off like the only Native American from the comics, so he got swapped out for another guy, called Changeling, but they couldn’t use that name because Beast Boy was using that name at the time, and the show runners didn’t wanna catch heat from DC, so settled on an original character, Morph. Also, it should be noted that apparently in X-Men ‘97 Morph is revealed to be non-binary, which is great and if anyone has a problem with this fact I invite you to go fuck yourself.
Professor Charles Xavier
I don’t really have much to say about Xavier other than he has some weird eyebrows, and I don’t much care for his hover chair. Like, what’s wrong with having a normal wheelchair Charlie? You think you’re better than everyone? Prick. For sake of clarity, this is a joke. I actually have no strong opinions on the chair. That’s a lie, I think it’s an ugly colour. 
Jean Grey
She sure does appear in this episode. That is all I can say about Jean Grey. I know fuck-all about this woman.
Wolverine / James "Logan" Howlett
Logan is as aggressive as I expected him to be. So this is fine.
Henry Gyrich
Another guy that I know next to nothing about. I honestly thought he was Trask, and I am apparently wrong, so there you go. He seems like a slimy git.
Episode 2 - “Night of the Sentinels - Part 2”
Oh no, I can’t believe Morph died, who could’ve ever seen this coming.
Tumblr media
I didn’t mention in the last episode that the mutants are pretty much a stand-in for every oppressed group in modern society. I never used to fully understand it, until watching this and being part of the LGBT+. It hits very close to home. The idea that your own government hates you, wants you dead for something you have literally no control over. It’s not fun. Seriously, try being trans in the UK, it’s bullshit. Granted I know there are much worse places, but I’m just talking from personal experience. And also, being trans doesn’t give me random powerful abilities, it would be great if it did. Point being, mutants are very on the nose about what they represent in the lens of the real world, you could try to argue this level of social science has no place in a children's show, but I would argue that this is the perfect place to teach children that sometimes are different, and that’s ok.
At bare minimum this kinda plot leads to some truly hateable villains, which would be funny if it weren’t realistic.
Onto the actual contents of the episode, it’s pretty good. Characterisation is pretty much on point, dialogue is aggressively 90s, and the non-mutant characters are mostly despicable.
Characters Introduced:
Bolivar Trask
That ain’t Peter Dinklage, what kinda bullshit you pulling here?!
Episode 3 - “Enter Magneto”
If George Orwell’s “Animal Farm” were a picture book, I still don’t think the guards watching Beast would understand it.
Anyway, hi Erik, nice to see you, glad you could drop in.
Something I noticed is certain scenes with flashing imagery seem extremely slowed down. I presume this was a decision by Disney for the Disney+ version, as modern rules regarding epilepsy are a lot stricter than they were in the 90s.
Not gonna, the anti-mutant protest outside the courtroom and the cunts in the courtroom are so frustratingly realistic. Like, seriously, what the fuck do they think they’re gonna achieve? That if they say “no more mutants” hard enough Hank will lose all his fur? Of course they don’t think that. This show in 3 episodes has done a very, very good job at showing how bigotry works. I know it gets more extreme as the show goes on, but as far as I’m aware, at no point does it become unrealistic. This show came out in ‘92, everything on display is still relevant in 2024. That should horrify you. Or piss you off depending on who you are as a person.
Onto something lighter, can we appreciate Wolverine’s sheer disdain for Sabretooth. It’s great.
Also since when could Xavier transfer information from Cerebro to X-Men on the field? Specifically, how did Storm insta-learn how to shut off nukes? Deus-ex my arsehole.
Character Introductions:
Magneto / Erik Magnus Lehnsherr
Here we finally have Magneto. Genuinely as I’ve got older, I’ve understood his entire deal so much more, and like, yeah, he’s a villain, he’s a prick that can and will kill anyone in his path, but he’s not completely wrong.  Again, I do not think he’s in the right, but he is also someone that has been scared by the worst of humanity. His anger is justified, and ultimate goal of mutant freedom is good, but the way he plans to achieve that goal is fucked. I think it’s a really good detail that Erik sounds and looks genuinely hurt when the X-Men go against him, cause he actually believes he is doing the right thing. So, round of applause for a complex villain. Hooray!
Sabretooth / Graydon Creed, Sr.
Diego is my least favourite of the Ice Age herd, I think he’s a bit of a dickhead… Wrong sabretooth, Teri. Graydon Creed is definitely a guy with a very hateable face. All I really know about him is that he’s a cunt that’s involved in Wolverine’s backstory. I’m sure this will be explored further as the series progresses.
Episode 4 - “Deadly Reunions”
Tumblr media
HIM! WHERE IS HE!? WHERE IS WADE?!
So this episode establishes Storm’s claustrophobia and Rogue’s power absorption. Cool.
“...you wish me to wage war on six billion humans?” Oh. 3 decades. All it took was 3 decades to add another two billion to the human population. This has nothing to do with the episode really, it’s just that fact only just sank in with me. I’ve got nothing to add, just bloody hell, these are some scary numbers.
Jesus Christ Xavier, the fuck man? Weaponizing war trauma to beat Magneto? I mean, I get why he did it, but like, nah I ain’t about that.
“Right, and I’m the queen of England.” Honestly, Jubilee would be a much better queen of England than our useless king.
So, how the fuck did Sabretooth actually manage to wound Wolverine? Like, surely his healing factor would just fix him up real quick?
Character Introductions:
Senator Robert Kelly
Finally in the flesh, the king bigot. Motherfucker pretty much says he wants to set up concentration camps for mutants. As if the metaphors couldn’t be anymore on the nose.
Episode 5 - “Captive Hearts”
I do quite like how Storm’s claustrophobia is a recurring problem, it actually adds at least a bit of depth to her character.
Not gonna lie, I’m fond of the Wolverine pining for Jean bullshit. 
Is this episodes plot just Callisto getting pissy that Scott won’t fuck her?
Also can we just talk about how creepy Wolverine gets when chasing Callisto, like I’m not here for that. It’s not good.
Anyway Storm and Callisto having a lightsaber duel was pretty cool.
Character Introductions:
The Morlocks
Ok, so yes I’m grouping a lot of characters together here, but honestly I know so little about them I don’t have anything interesting to say. Before watching this I had never even heard of them, with the sole expectation of Leech, because I’m pretty sure he appears in one of the Fox films. Anyway, according to Marvel Wiki, here's all the named Morlocks: Leech, Sunder, Erg, Plague, Masque, Tar Baby, Annalee, Callisto, Tommy, Ape, Scaleface, & Glow Worm.
Episode 6 - “Cold Vengeance”
Oh no, Wolverine threw a tantrum and left, who could have ever seen coming.
Genuine question, how much of Canada is an ice cap?
Is Sabretooth wearing a skintight suit, or is he butt naked?
Can we just talk about the fact that both Storm and Jubilee wear appropriate casual attire, but Gambit’s still in his combat attire.
How did Sabretooth manage to catch and tie up the entire village? Like, surely someone could have escaped? Or more likely, wouldn’t he have just killed them all? Like, he’s a murderous psychopath, I’m surprised he could even be bothered to set bombs.
Ooo, looky the Sentinels are back.
Episode 7 - “Slave Island”
One of the antagonists of this episode is some cunt who calls himself “The Leader”, he’s not the actual Leader (Samuel Sterns), so I ain’t including him in the character introductions.
Why is Gambit weirdly out of character this episode? Like, he's much more of a prick than usual here.
Why is Cable here? How is Cable here? What time travel shenanigans were required for him to be here?
Character Introductions:
Cable / Nathan Summers
But seriously, why is Cable here? Not that I don’t appreciate him being here, I just kinda want an explanation. Especially since the episode seems to indicate that he’s not from the future, but I’m fully aware later seasons will contradict that. Maybe I’m missing something and this’ll be explained later.
Mastermold
That’s a big arse Sentinel.
Cameron Hodge
So, technically this guy first appears in Episode 3 as Beast’s lawyer, but he had no impact on the story and he was being pro-mutant, which is out of character.
Blob / Frederick Dukes | Sunfire / Shiro Yoshida | Feral / Maria Callasantos
These guys have speaking roles in the episode, but I honestly have nothing to say about them.
Cameo Appearances from Mystique, Pyro, Rictor, Avalanche, Thunderbird, Northstar, Aurora, Caliban, & Domino.
Episode 8 - “The Unstoppable Juggernaut”
Not gonna lie, I like how the Fox films actually show there being students at the X-Mansion, cos honestly without them, the place looks abandoned.
I really feel bad for Colossus, guys just doing a job and gets attacked by a group of bigots and then Wolverine & Jubilee. Like, seriously, when he says “What is it with these Americans? They are very strange people.” I’m inclined to agree with the guy (this is ignoring the fact that Logan is Canadian). Then he gets arrested for a robbery he doesn’t commit. Bloody hell, this man can’t catch a break. Thankfully his company in prison was Beast. The man may talk like an academic but at least he’s friendly.
What does Juggernaut need money for? Can’t he just take literally anything he wants? He’s the Juggernaut, who the fuck is stop him?
Anyway, I think he is fucking hilarious. Legitimately the funniest character the show has introduced.
I’m sure Juggernaut vs. Colossus is a fight I’m never gonna see again…
Tumblr media
Ok, what we’ve learnt is that if Rogue absorbs Juggernaut’s powers, she breaks. Interesting.
And at the end he just walks away, because of course he does. Not like they can beat him any other way.
Characters Introduced:
Colossus / Piotr Rasputin
Can I just say that I think Colossus is lovely. Like, I think he’s a very good example of what a man should be. Strong, friendly, a little bit dumb. A himbo by true definition. I may be crushing on a fictional character. 
Juggernaut / Cain Marko
“Don't you know who I am? I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!”
Episode 9 - “The Cure”
More Cable shenanigans. I’m sure he’s actually from the future this time.
Oh look Logan being a twat and antagonising most of the team, I’m sure that’ll go really well for him.
Damn, Gambit really out here trying to push himself onto Rogue, despite knowing she could kill him just by touch. What a knob.
Everytime Cable asks for Dr. Adler, I’m just reminded of this moment from Dragon Ball Z Abridged.
Tumblr media
That is all.
Character Introductions:
Angel / Warren Worthington III
This millionaire in the colour blue is available for pre-order. Call 1800-APOCALYPSE now!
Moira MacTaggert
As far as I’m aware she’s important to the X-Men mythos, but I personally know fuck all about her. 
Mystique / Raven Darkhölme
Ah, Mystique, the psychotic bitch with the power to make all trans people jealous. Infuriating.
Pyro / St. John Allerdyce
For some reason, they decided he needed English instead of Australian in this continuity.
Avalanche / Dominikos Petrakis
Ok, so his powers are like, seismic energy right? It just bothers me that a guy named Avalanche doesn’t have ice powers.
Apocalypse / En Sabah Nur
Not gonna lie, I’m kinda surprised to see Apocalypse here. I honestly expected him to be, like, ‘the big bad’ at the end of the series.
Episode 10 - “Come the Apocalypse”
Ok, so lemme get this straight, Warren wants a cure for his mutation because he considers himself a freak, yet the fucker wears a full spandex superhero suit that incorporates his wings. If you hate your wings, why would you own a bright red and white costume? Make yourself more visible? Dumbarse.
“Death, the winged avenger”, 🤓☝️erm ackshually, Apocalypse, Archangel isn’t an Avenger.
And then they all fuck off. Kinda anticlimactic, ngl.
Character Introductions:
Archangel / Warren Worthington III
This millionaire is now available in the colour. To get yours call 1800-HORSEMANofDEATH now! “Didn’t you already include Worthington here?” Yeah, but this time he’s blue… and slightly insane.
Episode 11 - “Days of Future Past - Part 1”
Wow, it really takes no time at all for Bishop to flip teams.
Ok, so what causes Bishop’s amnesia? Was it Nimrod reaching for him? I don't think this is ever explained.
Tumblr media
Oh, hi Frank. Good to you see. Going by the wrong name I see.
More questions, why’s Bishop’s time thingamajig not working properly?
I’m sorry, but what the fuck? Bro just drove a bus straight through the X-Mansion XD.
Ok, I like Wolverine’s constant mocking of Bishop. The man deserves it, he’s a bit of a stuck up prick.
… Oh my god. I just made a horrifying realisation.
Tumblr media
Silver is just Bishop’s hedgehog-sona.
Gambit finally shows back up and Bishop’s immediate first thought is to shoot the bastard. Don’t worry man, it happens to all of us. I too murder the first frenchman I see when sent on important missions.
Characters Introduced:
Lucas Bishop
“It’s no use!” Bishop is the kinda guy to shoot first, ask questions never.
Forge
He is here. I don’t actually have any idea who he is.
Nimrod
This is a really dumb name for something that’s supposed to be threatening.
Episode 12 - “Days of Future past - Part 2”
Jesus, Jubilee, what’s your beef with tattoos? I mean, they’re not really my vibe, but there’s no reason to call Bishop a freak. (We’re just gonna ignore that the guy shot Gambit and Rogue, that ain't important.)
Genuinely, Logan’s been pretty funny these last few episodes.
So, is Magneto not the leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants in this continuity? Interesting.
Again with the protesting? What the fuck do they hope to achieve? Fuck me, bigots are really fucking dumb.
Loving Blob’s Hawaiian shirt, tho.
Speaking of, how does Blob’s powers work? Like, is he just impervious to damage by sheer fat? If so, that is both really gross, but really cool.
“This kid’s crying. Do something” before shoving the child into Jubilee. Honestly, same, Logan. I too don’t wanna deal with crying children.
Mystique is just the queen of gaslighting and manipulation. Especially with Rogue.
I quite like that the whole assassinate Senator Kelly plot was Apocalypse’s plan, keeps him lurking in the background like the big bad he ought to be.
Characters Introduced:
Blob / Frederick Dukes
Technically, Blob made his first appearance in Episode 7, but this is his first appearance of actual significance.
Episode 13 - “The Final Decision”
Oh look, the bigots have resorted to rioting cause they’ve decided a group of people are responsible for shit only a few have done. 😒Where have I seen that before? 
Ok, so a few things. One, how the fuck did Mastermold achieve sentience? Two, why is its plot effectively just to create the cybermen from Doctor Who?
Tumblr media
Oh, hello Ghost Rider, fancy seeing you here.
“Stop him gently, Storm.” “As gentle as the falling snow.” She then proceeds to almost kill Gyrich by making him crash into a tree. Good job, Storm.
Tumblr media
This is the first thing I thought of when the X-Men were debating on if it’s worth saving Senator Kelly with Gambit reluctant to join.
“You're all fools... Heroic fools.” I literally could not agree more Erik. “The brave are always the first to die.” and that is just fucking cold. Not gonna lie, I fucking love Magneto in this show.
Thinking about it, why do the sentinels even bother discussing what they are doing? Like shouldn’t they all be talking to each other through some kinda network? I feel like that would’ve made them more threatening.
“What is that object? It appears to be the ace of spades.” Like, seriously, how are these guys a serious threat?
“Did you think I would let you die alone, Xavier?” Aw, Erik does care.
“Mutants are human. Therefore, humans must be protected from themselves.” Ok, so Mastermold is based. Still an evil prick, but at least it ain’t a bigot.
Ok, so with Scott and Jean’s proposal scene, why does she jump straight to talking about kids? Like, that’s a whole new fucking conversation ma’am.
Oooo, how very Sinister of an ending.

TBT memory to the time I was madly in love with this Gambit concept image and wrote a crappy fic based off of it in a real notebook, not on the computer. (It's from Wizard World Magazine's special X-Men issue back in the early 2000s. Probably 2003 or so.) Doubtful I still have the notebook, but it'd be so cringe if I did.
If anyone's not a giant nerd like me, this is one of several different X-Men concepts that WW asked a comic book artist (I can't remember which one.) to portray. Two I know we eventually got were Emma Frost and Gambit.
Funny part is, he looks like a clean-shaven Nick Bateman to me, just with longer hair. For a drawing, that's some killer cheekbones/jawline. I love the roseyness to his face.
Pinterest
Can't remember the exact quote and I'm too lazy to go get the magazine from my comic book collection, but some higher-up said they would've designed him to be a bit taller and more muscular (I think? I would not complain if he were!!) some other stuff. Like, dude, this is Nick Bateman's version of Gambit, easily, sans bike. (Remy is usually 6'1-6'2, Nick is freaking 6'4.) Nick also has tats IRL. I don't like, but just pointing it out.
Picture from:
Gambit screenshots, images and pictures - Comic Vine (gamespot.com)
Maybe if I get some energy/time, I'll scan in my copy so we can all enjoy it as a larger pic. ((commence drooling.)) Edit: I also drew it. Don't know if I still have that drawing or not, but I went through a phase where I put it and other fan art up on my wall, I think? Or maybe I'm mis-remembering. I don't think I was THAT brave as a teenager to just put a shirtless guy on my wall. (That came later in my mid 20s, another dumb, DUMB phase. I was stuuuupid.)

everyone keeps asking me about a remi's version update, but do you really know what you're asking for???
A sob rips from my throat. “Xaden.” I beg. Tears stream from my eyes and when he curls around me, leaning over me to block the spray of the faucet, the sob turns into a wail. A long, pain-filled wail.

Okay, I have now invested nearly two hours in the podcast + 20 minutes getting my thoughts down. I know I’m late and we’ve all moved on, but I’m sending this out there anyhow because damn it.
Some scattered thoughts—
There was plenty of stuff that we’ve heard a hundred times by now but that reminded me why I follow this very pleasant dude. As always, I really like that he’s always trying to be grateful for opportunities and the life he’s lucked into, and I appreciate the humility that he shows when he’s talking about working in service to the team and the scene, and that it’s important to leave vanity at the door. It’s not all about him, he says. Even throwing that kind of idea out there is admirable.
We again hear about how he jumps in to new experiences solely because they peak his interest and he thinks they will challenge him. It’s hard to tell whether Tom’s insistence that he’s in it primarily for the personal growth is genuine, or whether that’s a kind of rationalization of several poorly-received project choices, and I’m not sure Tom himself could answer, but regardless it’s a good attitude. Sorry to the fan contingent that’s obsessed with awards and accolades; they’re going to stay losing as he leans more and more into these personal growth principles, I suspect.
One of the most interesting parts to me: At one point, Tom talks about discovering in an elementary school yearbook that he had said back then that he wanted to be an actor when he grew up. I found that notable because part of his brand/public persona (see paragraph above) is that he’s very ambivalent about his success, and that ambivalence rests atop a narrative that he has always been sort of nonchalant about his acting career, even that he sort of stumbled into it, that he’s never been very ambitious, and that he could give it all up on a dime. He’s been telling a version of this story/creating this brand for nearly ten years now, and when he’s surprised by the yearbook quot. he seems to reveal that he’s bought into his own marketing!
In his defense, I think it must be hard to be asked all the time to narrate your own life—to put it into a coherent story—and keep a hold on all the nuance and contradictions that actually make up a life.
Annoying part: While I agree that it’s in all of our interests to reject the cult of busyness, I find praising Tom Holland for taking a year+ vacation to be a little tiresome. Like okay. In my opinion, it’s when he sounds the most rich and privileged and out of touch with those who aren’t.
The hair decisions continue to be perplexing to me. I’m not sure what he thought the Danny bangs were doing. I know he says he got this great advice from Jake that new looks create distance, but the bangs were seriously so bad that they were distracting. Sometimes you don’t want to be thinking about the actor and what he did to his hair. Maybe that’s what the cinematographer was getting at. And the Caesar cut it also bad; I’m sorry to Caesar Tom lovers. That said, I enjoyed his mischievous “I’m not going to do what they tell me to,” and also the little aside that Zendaya still thought he was handsome during TCR filming. Okay Tom.
I found the Marvel part cringey, but tbf I find Marvel cringy in general. I’m glad it feels to him like a little community that nurtures all of its members, but there are plenty of toxic elements, not least the exploitation of the VFX people, and you have to have your head buried pretty far in the sand to disregard them. (I thought Tom supported the little guy?)
I LOL’d/cried: “Do you guys have The Apprentice in America?” 💀
I wish he wouldn’t be so cryptic about Spiderman, but I guess that’s the studio’s fault. Glad he saw a script he and Zendaya liked, but, let’s be honest, I’m not sure if those two’s imprimaturs bode well or horribly for the actual quality of the script😭
Bero: did anyone else feel uncomfortable when Rich Roll was talking about how he doesn’t usually drink non-alcoholic beer because it reminds him too much of a time when he had a drinking problem? I was like, guy, you don’t have to try this. Don’t do it.
Nice that Tom found a side hustle that’s meaningful to him! It seems to me to be the exact right product for his personal brand. Good for him, and I hope it’s successful.
I would love to read your opinion. I find you very thoughtful and one of the few blogs open to criticizing. I miss reading you.
Aw thank you! Maybe I will listen, in that case <3

Sanders Sides
-The Snow Queen AU-
[In this ver. The Frost King]
I just had to do this one after I reconnected with the book, yet...I made some major changes (big ones) for the roles to be more interesting and fitting, not just random I suppose.
[ If you haven't read the book, and wish to do so...I suppose it does quite matter for you to understand more but do as you wish from that point.........]
This version of the story is happening in the beginning of The 18th Century, and the characters who play the roles of the ones from the story, or have changed/replaced roles with suposedly similiar Input here are:
• Kai - Remus - (The boy who was the victim of the broken mirror’s fiendish shard.)
• Gerda - Roman (The main protagonist, i suppose)
[In the original story Kai and Gerda are not quite related but are as close as siblings can be, in this one although, of course the twins are, well...the twins.]
  • Instead of the Grandmother we have the father of the boys, that no one, literally no one would guess who plays the role of him.......Patton...!
• After that, there is also Logan, who gets the role of being The Frost King, The Cursed Frost King in fact (and by cursed I mean he literally pissed someone off [or broken their heart...] centuries before and they turned him into an ice dude)
• Speaking of curses and magic, Janus is the young Sorcerer instead of the Elder Sorceress from the canon story. And in this verse, let's say that Sorcerers are Immortal beings like vampires, because I felt like it, and let's say he's like... approximately 957 y.o
Janus in this version does not keep Roman for a while, because he is a really bored selfish prick, but because he is desperate and genuinely still sad from the time he lost his own kid (guess who that might be...If you know my obsession with familial anxceit you already know who I’m talking about, yes..) Virgil. 
[And no, Virgil is not dead as you see in the fanart, he is cute, alive and well.]
• Speaking about him, he is intended to replace the role of the robber girl. But in this version he was stolen from his Pa/Ma one Summer night...
He didn't age at all because...Well, I just said it, Janus is immortal and Vee in this one is actually his biological kid, so Virgil himself is like 53 y.o
• Pryce and Valery are the Prince and the Princess in the upper corner of the picture. (They are meant to be siblings here)
In the other corner are Thomas and Talyn playing the roles of these magical Finn and Lapp people. (I honestly have no idea how else to call them)
And the Crow and the Raindeer are Remy and Emile, because why not.
[To put it simply, like in the canon of TSS no one here is evil (well except the douchebags of Virgil's kidnappers, but they are not canon characters)]
Also before all of that, I wanted to have a little summery and explanation of some of the situations and short stories from this au
-Remus at first is quite a dork (heh) but really he is a pretty friendly and goofy kid, sure he is quite strange in general but he does show love and affection towards his family (well until the shard of The Mirror got stuck in his eye)
-Logan used to be a Prince from the 10th Century who supposedly felt no emotions and was like a stone husk, or a living statue as people used to say, which made his father desperate enough to the point, he literally set up a very great award for anyone who would make him.. feel something in that matter (The emotionlessness was more of an odd and quite unrealistic version of depression, as to be portraid) 
-There was one and only one person who succeded in the act and in which fell head over hills for him in the process actually (before the magic mirror of evils broke into pieces, one of the first ones then fell into his own eyes, destroying all the progress and hurting the one who loved him the most, who was the very exact person who freed him from his deep shelled abyss before.) 
[I’m not going to say who that was, you’ll have to figure it out by yourself, if you even bother, that is of course]
-Patton is a single father (wow)
He actually managed to find a way into the Garden of Enternal Summer when he was a kid and... As I quote myself:
 “ As a faint Memory, The boy saw the most Elegant and quite The most Beatiful man he’d ever seen, yet with a face halfly scarred with scales as if one cursen upon his soul, his outfit too as his posture spoke was vastly gorgeous, painted mainly in golden and black, but what was yet even more so intriguing, was what he held under his arms, ever oh so gently as it were a small and fragile feather. It in fact..quite was at some point, as it was a small child, very young actually from what it seemed...An Infant it was. The man then walked up to him and offered him his hand, one that wasn’t either of his main two, but nonethless he did so and shared one of the warmest of smiles too, no living creature, no beast nor no man would at this point decline and reject his proffer.”
[Yeah...I’m not good with poetry, especially as English despite it all is my second language...I’m even worse with my main one, so eh.]
Buuut he eventually left either way, so..
[Almost no one could find the secret pathway into the Garden of the Enternal Summer as it was well hidden behind the forests, lakes, caves and mountains. So Roman and his family were quite lucky at this point.]
That is all for now I suppose, I have only one question though...
-Roman is a very sweet kid who talks with animals and plants (but let’s make it a bit more realistic here, the plants do not respond in this version and he is confused but still continues to do so) He is although flawed because a character without flaws is like...A Pizza without the Sauce or a Knife without its blade, blunt and boring that is. Yeah...He has anger issues and is quite impatient and stubborn which is interpreted in both good and bad ways.
-Virgil was gifted with a flower magical hair clip (to help him whenever he was in trouble), a violet scarf and a guardian pet Goliath Birdeater Spider shafed like a Purple Pinktoe Tarantula to protect him from any dangers.
Do you think this is an interesting AU?
