CHERIK + DECLARATIONS OF LOVE (X) FOR #REVIVECHERIK2024

[velvet4510]

It’s actually so significant that Charles is introduced in First Class as a guy who uses his thesis as a pick-up line and seeks out girls with some kind of mutation.

It’s clearly indicating that Charles is trying to find a fellow mutant to connect with romantically. Raven’s off the table, since she’s his sister. But he wants to find and build a romantic bond with someone who has a mutation, who is different like he is, and he’s resigned to searching for things like heterochromia and auburn hair because he doesn’t know for sure if there really are more full mutants out there with actual superpowers.

Literally the only reason he starts flirting with Moira is that she has auburn hair, i.e. a mutation.

Then he meets Erik and all the flirtation with random heterochromia women and with auburn-haired Moira stops. Because Erik is what he’s been looking for.

Charles’ entire setup as a character in that film is constructed in a way that the only resolution that makes any sense is him finally finding a real mutant to connect with romantically. And who does he find? Erik Lehnsherr.

I LOVE the headcanon that Charles fell in love with Erik the moment he felt his mind. It makes so much sense with him jumping into the ocean within a minute of knowing Erik exists. Like yeah we know Erik is a badass nazi hunter at that point but Charles is just a twink academic LMAO he has no business jumping into the ocean like that!!! genuinely like one of the most romantic scenes I've ever seen in a movie, I melt every time I watch it. Charles really felt Erik's pain and trauma and said THATS MY MAN

still no further details on this AU apart from bug and bug guy cherik kay i es es i en jee

And my beloved First Class characters who had little to no character development. Feral animal noises intensify.

I'm sorry are we going to skip over the fact that they were literally having eye sex so loud that Charles' sister has to step in to save the kids from seeing them fuck any minute now

Charles looks away and smiles the moment raven speaks

And erik. He is down bad. He's staring THE ENTIRE SCENE. THE GAYASS DOESN'T EVEN LOOK AWAY. He only looks at raven when she quite literally enters his tunnel visioned line of sight between their eye contact
