Fresh and Traumatized

Favorite canon thing about this character?

I think it’s the fact that he’s not traditionally masculine in the sense of what we would expect from a male character. He fits very much in the same line as someone like Optimus Prime (especially G1 and Skybound). True, X is powerful and will lay down both the law and his own convictions when things get rough, but he doesn’t immediately reach for this option, as he is aware of both the cost of death and what standing by your principles can cost, even if it is ultimately for the good of everyone.

He’s in eternal conflict, and I like that in a character.

If you're a fic reader, what's something you like in fics when it comes to ths character? Something you don't like?

When he and Zero are equals. Don’t get me wrong, I like Zero fine, yet I also feel that he sometimes overshadows X in some instances to the point where people forget who the main character is. And while I like the Zero series, I do not agree with Keiji Inafune’s original plan. Take about a total betrayal.

What's something the character has done you can't get over? Be it something funny, bad, good, serious, whatever?

ACTUALLY.

Those with long-term/worsened disabilities because of their parents telling them to just work through it/get over it/"it's not that bad"

Those with disabilities stemming from childhood abuse

Those who know that they're disabled or suspect such, but can't get it diagnosed or checked out because of their parents/guardians disapproving

Those who know/suspect that they're disabled, but won't be diagnosed or checked out because they're "too young"

Those who struggle in or had to drop out of the harsh and mostly unaccommodating school system because of their disability or disabilities

Those who were lied to or not told they were disabled growing up so they could be raised "normal"

Those who have their privacy and autonomy violated as a combination of being disabled and being a child, as both of those groups are seen as not deserving their autonomy

Those who are disabled or had their disability (or disabilities) worsened because of the school system pushing them too far

Those who feel that they can never be one of the "normal" kids and that they'll always be isolated because of their disability or disabilities

Disabled folks who don't know or didn't know much about their disability as a kid because doctors would only explain to the parents/caretakers and no one bothered to talk to you

All disabled children having to deal with the intersectuality of being oppressed by both ableism and adultism.
