THE ABOMINATION

imagine knowing that flying gave you your life and took his away, and yet it's everything either of you have ever wanted to do.

to me girl-liker emma frost is someone who is capable of acknowledging her attraction to women as like. a performance of something illicit or taboo and then she runs into a wall when she actually tries to process it on a genuine emotional level. this is based on the ways emma crafts her own identity and persona and the problems she runs into in her real genuine relationships. like i think if emma were to actually date a girl she'd get nervous and wrong-footed bc it would require genuinely unpacking some of her emotional baggage. and that nervousness would probably manifest as a greater investment in her own bitchiness and worldliness.

Bobby went to a school on Long Island, Jean was taught by Xavier and presumably more, Warren went to a fancy religious school, Hank is Hank. Scott grew up in an orphanage and then lived with Jack Winters when he was maybe 15-16 before meeting Xavier. (this is making me sad oh no)

Yes, he educated himself at the orphanage and all, but that’s certainly different from the things the others experienced. His awkwardness with the team and later social/relationship struggles make perfect sense considering he hadn’t gone to a proper school, literally had no long-term positive relationships in his life, and his general “unique personality” (autism).

those are my wives

Like do I even need to get into how Kitty and Piotr's entire relationship is built like a house of cards? It's legitimately only built upon the two remembering a much easier time in their lives and clinging to it throughout severe tribulations in their lives whether that be Kitty being put into the space bullet or Piotr being Juggernaut among other things in the world of the X-Men. Kitty left him at the altar because she realized it after prodding from Yana. She realized she did not love Piotr she loved the memories they had in a far more simple time in their lives when things were not as dubious and complex as they had gotten by the time of X-Men Gold. It's a sad state of things, but better she leave him at the altar than head into an unhappy marriage that inevitably ends in someone writing a divorce story arc.
