i wonder at what point Erik realized this wouldβve been the last time he would ever see Charles again
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/229240862f64b93f23e338f1d621457c/bc3d1845a60d9558-4d/s540x810/616d7acb28bc714c4c3f124baa384696930b8285.jpg)
now i need an au where the xmen didnβt manage to save Charles in time or they just donβt show up for some reason
Erik seeing Charlesβs face on Apocalypse with likely some kind of remnants of his voice
Erik realizing heβs not only lost his wife and daughter, but also the last person who has been able to see the good in him and love him for who he truly is.
he canβt even kill Apocalypse for this, he keeps coming back πΎ stupid ass cockroach
i wonder how much he would regret accepting that helmet, once again betraying Charlesβs trust and now never being able to gain it back
either Erik leaves the horsemen (maybe bringing some of them with him) and rallies the xmen to go kill Apocalypse or out of such anger and grief and regret he does end up destroying the world and he has to live with the fact that everything he loves will be destroyed
i donβt think he would even have any free will anymore since Apocalypse has Charlesβs telepathy
or maybe he still has the helmet who knows
but anyway Erik is not doing good π
#i donβt like you Apocalypse but you sure do make good conversation topics#iβm not evening talking to anyone does that even count as a conversation? π€¨#would we be even able to tell its charlesβs face tho? we could not see oscar isaac β#i think erik would be able to tell he has studied that face for many hours#i guess its torture erik lehnsherr day today#humm#erik still gets a romantic/tragic edit of charles and then he sees apocalypse after the transfer π#βoh wait i cant destroy the world because charles lives in itβ#not anymore he doesnβt βΉοΈ#βwheres Charles?β#ππ#im giving more suffering to the constantly suffering man#bro doesnβt get a break#πππ#cherik#charles xavier#erik lehnsherr#x men#professor x#magneto#xmcu#wish does not shut up#anti xmen apocalypse#xma

Huntlow situationship gives me such intense brain termites you don't get it
#no i dont think its because Hunter needs time to heal first#i think if it was up to Hunter they would plunge into a committed romantic relationship immediately after the events of the finale#he would propose to her in like. 3 months probably#i know that sounds intense but i think this is what ''i literally died and came back to life'' mania does to a guy#he is so carpe diem minded hes become a little insane. he wants everything#no more waiting around. no more hesitating. he cant afford to do that anymore#would it have been the wise decision to enter a romantic relationship immediately#who's to say. but Hunter would have done it without thinking about it#its Willow that makes the decision to slow down and wait a while before they make any committments theyre not ready for#i dont think she's entirely learned her lesson about letting herself be emotionally reliant every once in a while#shes made progress but the events of ftf were such heat of the moment responses#once things are semi-stable she still needs to adapt to acknowledging that her feelings for Hunter are like. serious. and scarily intense#so like. yea Willow is slamming her pedals on the breaks for both their sakes. shes thinking about how this would effect Hunter too#but also. she scawwed.#when Willow tells him she wants to talk and she's like ''i think we should just be friends'' oh the face he makes is DEVASTATED#he didnt expect it was going in this direction at all. but like. once Willow explains how this is the most reasonable decision for now#he DOES agree. he understands what shes saying and he agrees that it's the best decision to take a breather before they jump into a romance#anyway even when theyre not officially dating the flirting continues insistently. they are very obsessed with each other and cant stop#Willow keeps trying to insist to herself that its just messing around. nothing serious. they find each other hot. its fine to kiss a little#but Hunter makes it very hard when he looks at her with big brown labrador eyes. looks at her like shes the entire world#i think if it was up to Willow they would have been trapped in that uncertain limbo forever. shes too scared to take the plunge#even if she wants to. she badly wants to#but Hunter just wont let that happen. every so often he says ''im ready whenever you are''#he makes his intentions very known. he is not the shy boy from Camila's house anymore#Willow cant just playfully flirt with him without worrying that hes gonna reciprocate. he talks now. he expresses himself#shes a little afraid of that. but she adores it too. he makes her feel safe but also he wont let her stay in this comfort zone#hes giving her the push she needs to pursue this relationship. gives her to push to feel like she can go after what she wants#because god knows HE knows what he wants#they make me so insane

ya know what i shouldnt do with my time? think of moshang as crk characters. ya know what im doing with my time? exactly that lmfao
look, all im saying is that a northern demon king cookie would fit really nice into crk (prolly somewhere in the beast yeast cuz lbr) and it'd be really funny if he was introduced bc while visiting some nice mountain of cookie cultivators (lolol), suddenly the tour guide is kidnapped! now we must venture on to 'rescue' our tour guide from the northern desert! why would the ice demon king cookie suddenly kidnap nice little hamster accountant cookie?! we'll solve the mystery and save the day and--why are we now at a cookie wedding?
in a confusing turn of events, it turns out that was a proposal? or a pre-wedding kidnapping? or?? point being, hamster accountant cookie is very happy here and has no desire to be rescued, so i guess thats okay??? besides, so long as we support the wedding, looks like ice demon king cookie will help us against dark enchantress cookie (long may she reign, my almighty blorbo) and really that's our priority
this is what happens when youre suffering from moshang brainrot but decide to play some crk lololol i have no regrets
#did i put literally any work into the cookie names?#no. and you cant make me lol#man tho i want dark enchantress cookie content#its been too long since my best girl has been on screen#i love her so damn much#its oki i'll work on leveling up my white lily cookie while i wait for her#same person ultimately lol#ngl moshang prolly woulda fit better as new underlings for her pfff#look i went with the first idea i had#im (probably) not going to put anymore actual thought into this au lololol#may we all have dreams of nomming on mobei cookies delicious thighs

you are complaining about complaining too much while complaining about the fact that maybe people dont like you because you complain too much while complaining about being alone. just stop complaining and do something about it. talk to people. reach out. dont just wait for someone to come to you first.
i have tried reaching out to different people in the past year or so but it never works. i understand its my own fault for letting relationships decay because of my own insecurities and issues but that doesn't mean i can just will myself to think or believe different things about myself. it's a self fulfilling prophecy ; i think people don't like me so i don't reach out so people don't like me etc . i am sure you do not want to hear me list all the things i want to say in response so i will put them in the tags.
#every time i try to reach out or talk to someone it goes nowhere. i dont have any social skills anymore and have no clue how to keep a#conversation going. half the time even when i do people stop replying to me. which is fine theydont owe me a reply but still feels likeshit#when i tried to make one new irl friend it just didn't work because they have better options for friends. we spoke occasionally but never#messaged online like ever and would only talk when we happened to be in the same place. i tried multiple times to organize a time to hangou#none of which came to pass. i dont understand why this one didn't work because i thought this person was interested in being my friend but#i guess i was wrong or thought they were more interested than they really were.#i have a problem with reaching out anyway which has been a problem i have had since i was like 11. reaching out to people first doesnt come#easily to me - in the beginning when i was a lot younger i didn't want to bother people with my presence & thought if i were to come to#someone first they would feel pressured into talking to me when they didn't want to. this is stupid of course. but has still not left me as#something i feel is very core to the way i act today. waiting for someone to come to me first feels like my only option because i do not#know how to reach out effectively (my evidence being i have failed every time i have tried) & i am convinced people dont like me in the#first place and do not want me to approach them.#i dont really even know who to reach out to in the first place. my world is extremely narrow. the number of people i know has shrunk#significantly and my standing in their eyes collectively has also shrunk significantly in the past few years. i feel like every person i#was once friends with wants nothing to do with me. i feel as if i have burned every bridge possible.#when it comes to the fact i complain all the time . which i know of course is annoying. its because i cant find any kind of joy in anything#i do or see or whatever. nothing makes me happy - i only see things to complain about. all stimulus seems grating and the world seems#specifically catered to make me miserable. all i can really do is complain. i treat this blog like a stream of consciousness and when most#of that consciousness is occupied with how much i hate being alive the blog will mostly be complaining. its a vicious cycle lol .#anyway . i guess the key theme is low self esteem begets low self esteem in many ways. mental illness begets mental illness.#i am not really saying this to anyone least of all to you anon. i just felt compelled to recount i guess for myself the reasons that came#to mind for why i am like this. i am talking to myself here

Got 3 more tattoos the other day, I'll post them when they've had touchups and have healed again but this time I got the paw print of my doggie that died recently, some soot sprites and the blue spirit mask and white lotus tile
#my arm was bleeding like mad?? both me and my tattoo artist were confused because all other tattoos were fine#but that does mean she couldn't see which parts she'd properly shaded anymore so touchups will happen#anyways now Ive got my own big 3 fandoms on me#atla merlin and loki being the things that have kept me alive for over a decade#soot sprites is more recent but still very fitting (thinking of the ghibli theme where you always leave something behind and cant go back)#now Ive got one more planned with the flowers we reveived when my dad died and I want to add pikmin to that because both me and my dad#played that (my brother too)#but drawing those flowers is still to hard so it'll have to wait#I also kinda want a yugioh tattoo and a moth and maybe some more original art#(and an arcane tattoo but forcing myself to wait a year before I put new fandoms on my body)

MOVE OVER david and tam its about to get uncomfortable in here (my brain) for you two#just Oh my god i get it now. girl id've done worse for grief. she shouldve blown the whole planet up and i'd cheer her on the whole way#<- doesnt remember most of her storyline BUT remembers The Vibes clearly#love a mean old fuck especially if they're a major antagonist. do NOT ask me about my relationship with my parents π€‘ /j#omg i also fixed my tablet's colour settings for the first time since i got it (2....3 years ago??) and wow. i dont have to fuck about#in the colour profile before i post anymore. technology is amazing <3 (i am an idiot)

[T]he infamous Diable (Devilβs Island) [French prison in Guiana, South America] [...]. Seventy thousand convicts were sent to French Guiana between 1852 and 1938. [...] Alongside deportation of political prisoners [...], a [...] convict population [...] was sent to the bagne (common parlance for the penal colony) [...] as a utopian colonial project [...] via the contribution convict labour would make towards colonial development in French Guaina. However, [...] French Guiana [...] was predominantly used as a depository for the unwanted citizens of France and its colonies. The last remaining French and North African convicts were repatriated in 1953, whereas the last Vietnamese prisoners were not given passage home until 1954 [...].
[T]he same form of built environment and carceral technology [...] structures found on Con Dao [French prison in Vietnam] and [the French prison in Guiana] [were] built at almost the same time [...] to house the same convict populations (Vietnamese implicated in anticolonial struggles) [...]. Old world colonialism is thus displaced by new world imperialism. Both rely on the prison island and its cellblocks. [...]
---
The carceral continuities [...] throughout Franceβs penal colonies are supplemented by legal exceptionalism which works to redefine colonial subjects within shifting political contexts. [...] Many of the Indochinois convicts transported to the forest camps of French Guiana in 1931, including the Bagne des annamites, had originally been classed as political prisoners. The transfer was intended in part [...] to remove a number of anticolonial actors from Indochina. [...]
As political deportees sent to French Guiana were usually exempt from labour according to the political decree of 1850, this status had to be revoked to ensure the maximum labour force possible.
Consequently, those arrested on suspicion of specific acts of violence or property damage were reclassed as common criminals. Described by Dedebant and FrΓ©maux (2012, 7) as βlittle arrangements between governors,β this was not simply a sleight of hand but written into legal codes. [...]
---
[M]any of the Vietnamese sent to French Guiana had to wait until the 1960s to be repatriated. [...] After their sentences were completed, convicts were not simply repatriated to France or other colonies.
A system of βdoublageβ intended to shore up colonial development meant they had to serve the same length of their sentence again on the colony. For those condemned to eight years or more, this became life. Opportunities for sustainable livelihood were limited in a territory possessing swathes of free convict labour. Worn out and sick from their time in the bagne, most of these men were unfit to work and relied on charity to survive. [...]
[T]he last living convict [of the Guiana penal colony] [...] died in Algeria in 2007 after being repatriated to Annaba. In an interview given in 2005, he claims that every night he dreams he is back in Cayenne: βwhen I think about it, I get vertigo, I spent my life thereβ [...].
