Unfortunately for my mutuals, I'm on a family kick, and everyone is getting childhood headcanons.

Laura Kinney (My girl needs at least one universe where she was a child and got to be raised by Logan and be his little girl.)

The Cuckoos (Again, the curse of clones not getting a childhood kills me. Let Emma be a mom and let the Cuckoos be kids!)

Rogue and Kurt (X-Men 97 and recent comics gave me sibling moments between them but I'm greedy. Irene and Mystique being the messiest lesbian parents while Rogue and Kurt are just trying to grow up is a whole meal.)

Lorna, Wanda, Pietro (I got robbed of mutant siblings and I'm pissed. I'm glad they still get to be siblings but...bro. Let Magneto be their shit dad that cares but can't show it.)

obsessed with your transfem julian drawings... i think her name would be helen bc it sounds like hellion

thats such a cute idea for a name!!!!!!!! the one i'm using for her is grace bc it's emma frost's middle name and i'm a reasonable amount of obsessed w their mentor-mentee/mother-child/tragedy of dropped plotline relationship and i love the idea of her naming herself after emma. but like somewhat indirectly so people can't tell right away

the cuckoos do notice and bully her bc they're haters

NYX #4 (2024)

I've always seen Quentin Quire as truly cynical, broken, insecure yet MAGNIFICENT young mutant with a bi-curious tendency, but very much girl obsessed, young man (canon material is right there, he always TRYING to flirt with all the girls). He has so so much potential, that Logan sees himself in him and basically becomes his adoptive daddy because he is so troubled and powerful that he knows, left unchecked, he is a major problem.

It's sad and extremely funny, in romance he fails every single time. Just like his "daddy" too, but in a way less charismatic way.

Sophie Cuckoo rejected him, died, got resurrected by him after he spiraled and prefered to stay dead than be with him.

He kissed time displaced Jean Grey and got rejected. (These men love themselves some Jean Grey)

Tried to flirt with Laura Kinney and got rejected.

Tried to flirt with Illyana Rasputin and got rejected.

Gwenpool hated his guts, but there still was chemistry, so they hit it off... but then she breaks up with him via text message. Then when he is pinning over her and helping her understand she is a mutant, she just ignores his romantic advances completely lol

Phoebe Cuckoo ( yes, ANOTHER CUCKOO; get the twin sister if you can't get with the first choice I guess ) hides him from her sisters, not because she wants him only for herself, which actually is pretty manipulative to say... because she is embarassed of liking him and entertaining him in front of them. Even when she takes him to Jumbo Carnation, she says he was always great to her, but she had set it all up for a makeover session... something he did not ask for; even while Quentin was venting about his trauma, she already set this up without informing him.

She broke up with him because and let me paraphrase, he cares too much for her and that scares her, making Quentin spiral.

He is unlucky, or makes himself unlucky, he sabotages himself, because the only truly decent relationship, seeing eachother as equals and having mutual genuine interest and attraction, he fucks up. Idie.

Idie thought Quentin was temptation (gurl; stand up 🥴💀) because Hope told her to no matter what, stay away from him, which Idie obviously did not do; Quentin thought she was really attractive and approached her first. Idie and Quentin were friends, they had banter, they communicated openly, they were classmates, they got into trouble together, they saved eachother, they pushed eachother to be better. I dare even say that, after he dated her, he became more selfless and tried to help others against his better judgement. Like when he gave up the remnants of his phoenix force to save Jubilee and re-store her mutant powers.

And their interactions are all bittersweet, because there still are feelings there, undiscloused desires? Mayhaps.

This last one is the least incendiary relationship (when we don't take into account their possible futures) but the healthiest, because the relationship does not radicate in humiliation and denial, I'mma be honest.

Feel free to debate me.

I am really passionate about this.

Sophie, girl, you're going to need to try harder. Kamala is anime protagonist levels of dense.

NYX #1 is so weird. It's very Kamala-focused, which I'm glad about, but the issue sort of sums up the reason why I didn't want her to become a mutant. Like yeah, being a mutant sucks, and maybe Kamala doesn't have as much experience with that as the others, but why are they preaching as if she doesn't know what it feels like to be discriminated against? My girl is literally brown and Muslim.

I like Sophie, but the rich white girl telling the bi black guy that he's a diversity hire is CRAZY, especially when he’s very pro-Krakoa. White girlboss feminism vibes. I hope this is the start of a deeper conversation, but the way this was written is just bizarre.

Also why did David get a new boyfriend? What was wrong with Tommy?

Laura was written so badly in this, ohmygod. Are we really going to start the "Avengers Don't Help the X-Men" tirade AGAIN? After Uncanny Avengers? After we literally just finished an entire Iron Man run where he took down an anti-mutant organization and teamed up with Emma Frost? And I don't like how Laura's acting as if Kamala isn't an experienced superhero at this point. Kamala's been on the Avengers and then led her own superhero team. She knows what she's doing.

Kelly & Lanzing have never been my favorite writers— their recent Guardians run was outright trash, and their Captain America and Thunderbolts runs put me to sleep, so I didn't have high expectations, but it's amazing how they manage to disappoint me every single time. Get Kamala out of the X-Office and put her back on the Avengers, please. I did, however, like that she went back to her normal Ms Marvel costume because I was not a fan of the X-Men Ms Marvel costume.

I still haven’t read the current NYX series yet, but the creators definitely seem to be leaning into my longstanding headcannon that Kamala Khan is either bi or pansexual based on her interactions with Sophie Cuckoo here!

I mean just look at them! There’s ZERO heterosexual interpretation of this!

I had no power during a tropical storm so I wrote a bunch of shit by candlelight, like a Victorian ruler. So I'm sorry for the spam posts but...

Enjoy I guess.

Let's start with one thing that has been on my mind for a while; if Emma had been able to raise the Cuckoos from day one, she would've put an emphasis on them all being different, not just a hive mind. She maybe would've stuck with the matching outfits but she wouldn't have let anyone group them up. They had names. It's something I see in a lot of twins or parents of twins (being a twin myself) is that eventually, you want to be different. And the Cuckoos were all different at one time, two dead, three dying their hair. But then the Krakoa era started and I understood in a way why they all went back to looking the same. They were a complete set again.

But I think that if Emma had raised them, they'd all be individuals in their own way. Even their rooms, which are important to any kid, are your first chance to portray and discover your interests and a safe haven for you. In the White Palace, they share one room, by choice. And I think they would do that in any universe. They want to be close and probably never slept separately until Phoebe and Sophie (? I think) died. So I think they'd have one room together. But they'd have different decors and aesthetics if they were only allowed to have a character arc outside of being evil, dead, or a hive mind. More than just a few interests shown or spats between them.

I would imagine they'd get to decorate the space by their beds and that would be that. Kind of like the og X-Men dorms, if you've seen that panel, where it's the boy's dorm and everyone has a section of the floor and walls to decorate to their tastes (and sadly, Scott's is empty and barren). But their room would have that vibe.

And Emma would be so organized with them. She's a good mom. On top of her shit, not like Hazel. Not overbearing and with unreachable standards that her father. Everything would be in certain folders, certains baskets, certain bags, their names on each thing. Or even just their initals. Her assistant would have to keep with all of their after-school activities just as well as Emma does because the driver shoulder never be late. Emma would have a fit if her daughters ever thought she forgot. Meaning every dance practice, gymnastics competition, swim meet, beauty pagent, whatever the Cuckoos wanted to join, had to be put in the calander next to Emma's meetings and such. Only the best private schools but Emma is not afraid to pull them out if they want, unlike her parents when she was telling about her being the outcast, or letting her girls pass because of how much money Emma gave the school to improve.

Just let Emma be a mom. Not just an at-arms-length mom.

(The Emma mini-series in the comics really is one of my favorite things, despite the weird teacher thing. It was a wonderful insight into her character and why she acts the way she does with her students/children. Mainly because of how her parents were. I also think Emma enjoys seeing how close the Cuckoos are as sisters because the only sibling she's close to is Christian and all her sisters tried to kill her and they never recovered from it.)

Sophie Cuckoo only has one face.
