New Chapter for Trials of the Lost now up. I have got to stop promising quick updates the universe takes that personally as a challenge to make sure it doesn't happen.

I love cherik! but don't worry, I can also explain what's going on here. First Raven is 28, when they are talking about her aging they are saying aspects of her genes will still be young but she isn't. A.k.a. wrighters trying to explain why Raven is X-Men 2000 movie looks 30s and this Raven also looks young but no one else does. I have a post about the ages in the movie. But I can assure you she is 28 years old, not 15. (In a nut shell, they were going to set the movie in the 50s, change their minds to the 60s, and forget to fix the credits, 1944 Raven is 10 years old. 1962 Raven is 28)

You see, First Class is a prequel/reboot. They never committed to either why fully, and most of the strange story choices come from this.

The kiss comes entirely as a reference to the flirty nature of their relationship in the 2000 X-Men film. It's not my favorite moment, but it's supposed to be a reference, that's all.

Raven's story here with the kiss is a quick way to show Erik acceptance her as she really is and helps her see herself as beautiful too. It also supposed to show why she'd choose to go with Erik at the end, given that they don't talk at any point in the movie really before that.

Hope this helped and wasn't too long-winded 😃😃😃

What!?!?? Noooooooo

Why would Erik kiss raven!?!?! Isn’t she like 15? And where even was the build up to this???????

I’m devastated by this ong. What??????

There was literally no chemistry, I thought the obligatory sex scene would be between raven and Hank (bc homophobia) but like what!?! This literally makes no sense

Unless I was blinded by gay adoration like what!?!?!

So I did read Frankenstein's Monster, and aside from being a complete waist of time (the book is boring and poorly written, sorry Mrs. SHELLY 😕 I wanted to like it!) the only significant character insight at all are that these lines are exactly what they say, the Monster, having been created then abandoned by Frankenstein and then also removing the possibility for family from the Monster swears he'll make Frankenstein suffer. That's it, it's on the nose, and I fully regret not just reading the wiki because that book was tedious at best. (not hating on those who like this book, but boy, was I expecting more.)

best believe as soon as i read frankenstein i'll be back to psychoanalyze erik saying "let's just say i'm frankenstein's monster ... and i'm looking for my creator" in first class

Just YES!, all of this, just YES!!!

Soapbox rant

So I got these two (likely scam) propositions on FFN lately and wanted to just warn people not to indulge these scammers but also remind people that fanwork is for the love of it. If you want to get paid for using someone else's characters, get a job at Marvel.

At any rate, here's my reply to these propositioners:

Fanfiction and fanart are amazing because it allows us to express our love for a story that someone else created. If you feel inspired by something I write, please go ahead and create based off of it. However, paying someone money to make fanworks for copyrighted material is both illegal and immoral. I didn't create these characters, I have no rights to them, and I shouldn't ask money for using them, which is true for all fan creators. You, as an artist, cannot sell copyrighted and trademarked images and characters that you did not create nor have the license to use. These laws help protect artists like yourself from being stolen from and ripped off by mercantile scammers trying to make a quick buck. Frankly, I find it sad that fan creators have fallen to money grubbing instead of creating for the love of it. If you think your time and artistic talents are valuable, then please pursue them with your own ideas and characters if you're going to be asking for money. Fan creations are expressions of love for the world someone else has created, if you want money, do your own work.

I'm just sick of seeing people turn the free sharing of fandom into yet another money-grubbing side hustle. Fanfic, fanart, fanfilms, cosplay etc... are DIY for the joy of it, not pay to play.

I feel this.

The amount of self censorship on the web these days is wild. Who needs big brother to ban words when people will eagerly do it themselves if they think they can get more views on tiktok?
