charles is always cold but doesn't like to bother anyone (even telepathically), so erik gets into the habit of constantly monitoring his partner and faux-casually tossing a blanket his way every time he sees him shiver
erik doesn't listen to much music but will occasionally put on jazz in the background when he's in a good mood. charles is growing fond of the genre as a sort of pavlovian response
charles pours the milk in before his cereal and it genuinely enrages erik, who has to take a few seconds to turn away and breathe whenever he catches it. charles obviously feels the emotional disturbance but enjoys being a little shit sometimes
erik has a shorter temper with the students but is actively trying to "be less scary," so he has gotten into the habit of sending mental profanity out into the void (read: hoping charles will notice) instead of yelling. charles responds by sending a wave of calm his way whenever he can
they have opposite taste buds, so they're always passing bits of each meal around--olives get moved to erik's plate, anything fishy goes to charles, etc.
charles puts a lot of thought into the gifts he gives others when he remembers to, but important dates sneak up on him more often than not. birthdays and anniversaries come out of nowhere as his brain moves through lesson plans and mutant activist obligations at light speed
erik could not physically care less about gifts, giving or receiving. he'll get charles a ring one day and he's serious about making it a good one, but that's where his concern with material goods starts and ends. his love language is existing in the same space and doing separate activities, preferably with very little talking involved and a subtle but steady point of physical contact
the both watching the other grow older to be inexplicably hot. erik has gray hairs? charles is mesmerized. charles might need bifocals? erik is besotted. the students are growing tired of old man yaoi

ok it's my time! (I included a TLDR at the bottom)
as both an x-men nerd and a catholic theology nerd, I think the most realistic outcome is that mutant-related discussions cause a schism, similar to how the methodist denomination split into global methodist vs united methodist over lgbtq+ rights/acceptance
the main obstacle to this hypothetical split would be the "high church"-ness of catholicism. basically, most protestant denominations have a little wiggle-room for theological differences between churches of the same denomination while all catholic churches are obligated to take doctrine directly from the vatican, meaning fractures do not come easily. if the vatican were to make a strong decision on mutants either way, all catholic churches would be obligated to follow that decision in their own doctrine. however, I highly doubt a pope would do this, given how wishy-washy they've been about lgbtq+ issues (which I consider the closest analogue) in the interest of 'representing ALL catholics.' therefore, mutant rights would probably be left as a church-level issue
even if the x-men universe pope did make a statement, the high church model of catholicism is currently shifting so that it might not matter as much as it would have in previous generations. for example, pope leo's anti-AI encyclical SHOULD make all catholic churches doctrinally anti-(generative)AI, but there is some resistance right now within more conservative pockets of the community who do not want to give AI up. in practice, there are significant differences in doctrine between catholic churches depending on which one you go to--not to mention the anglican/episcopal subset of catholicism, which is it's own weird and wonderful progressive place that I fully believe would be mutant-affirming regardless
mutantphobic catholics would most likely bring up bs arguments about mutantkind being a new-age perversion of the image of God, which is inherent in humanity. mutant-positive catholics, however, I could see using the rebuttal that we are all "fearfully and wonderfully made" exactly as God wills (psalm 139:14), human and mutant alike. furthermore, all people deserve love and respect; this is, after all, how disciples of the Lord are supposed to distinguish themselves (john 13:35)
TLDR: I imagine the pope would leave official doctrine ambiguous, meaning the day-to-day level of mutant acceptance among catholics would ultimately depend on which church you attend. in any case, given that we have (delightfully!) come to see queer priests and women priests in many catholic churches now (the current archbishop of canterbury is a female priest!!!), I DO firmly believe kurt would be able to find a niche where he could be ordained and fully accepted as a mutant priest, although he would still face backlash from some :')

I keep forgetting 911 is a fandom and reading the tag as 9/11. and then being like "why did someone tag these random gay people with--?! OOOH right, yeah" and then I instantly forget and do it again a month later. this isn't a joke I'm asking if anyone else does this or if my brain just needs debugged
(Alfred Bruce Babs Dick Jason Cass Steph Tim, no Duke or Dami bc they're still so young)
ALFRED: "Scotch, please. On the rocks." // He hasn't been to a bar in years, but he used to get a scotch on the rocks, so that's most likely what he'd order if he went again today. Sometimes he still pours himself one on hard nights/early mornings, alone in the kitchen after the manor has finally gone quiet.
BRUCE: "What's the most expensive whiskey you have? ... Yeah, I'll take that." // If he's at a bar, he's in public enough that he needs to perform Brucie, hence loudly flaunting his wealth. That said, he'll take the opportunity to indulge in Bruce Wayne's drink of choice. (It's canon that at galas, he either
replaces the champagne with a non-alcoholic drink and consumes that or straight up pretends to drink, but I'm letting him take it easy at my hypothetical bar.)
BABS: "Dirty martini. Like, really dirty. More olives than you'd give to a normal person." // She doesn't know it, but a dirty martini is also her mom's drink of choice. Jim saw her order it once and nearly choked on his own drink, at which point Babs assumed his hatred of olives was the culprit and stubbornly doubled down on the extra dirty martini as her signature drink.
DICK: "Mmm... what's in the [fruitiest, most complicated vodka-based signature cocktail on the menu]? Ooh, yeah, I'll take that! And another for my friend!" // He acknowledges he's a queer stereotype. He will also make whoever comes to the bar with him taste his drinks, which are usually too sweet for people who aren't Dick Grayson. Blue drinks are extra appealing, or anything with some peach schnapps. He's here to try everything and get white girl wasted.
JASON: "Beer. ... Whatever, doesn't matter. Just a beer." // He first started drinking way too young and drank whenever he got the chance, which put him off hard liquor for the most part--not to mention the memory of Willis. He sticks to beer now because the alcohol content is low and he actually likes the taste (disgusting, I know). When it comes to brews and brands, he's not picky; he gets easily frustrated if a bartender tries to ask him too many questions. He never lets himself get drunk, or even too tipsy.
CASS: "Vodka." / Occasionally, she'll go out with the girls and get a banana daiquiri, but she's usually only interested in drinking to get pleasantly tipsy and dull her senses. She's got a surprisingly high tolerance for her size and little to no reaction to taste/burn, so that means she's knocking back shots of vodka at a rate that makes some bartenders nervous. It helps that vodka is a single word and can be procured at any bar, so she doesn't have to put too much effort into ordering.
STEPH: "Could I get a shot of PatrĆ³n with salt and lime? Thanks!" // She loves the theatricality of doing the whole 'proper tequila shot' routine with the salt and the lime. She says the ritual of it makes it hit like a line of coke (which she has never done). Prior to turning 21, she has an impeccable fake ID and makes good use of it. She's tried empress gin a few times because "it's purple!" but doesn't really like the taste.
TIM: "Do you do espresso martinis?" // (Yes, I'm playing into fanon. If you like, you can imagine him getting a rum and Zesty.) He rarely, if ever, goes to bars, so he always looks like a fish out of water. If he is in one, he's probably undercover, and he's decided espresso martinis are the perfect way to stay alert on the job. He knows that caffeine accelerates the metabolization of alcohol but is stubbornly convinced that the fact doesn't apply to someone with his ungodly tolerance. He also likes the glass martinis are served in but would never admit to it.
I wonder how much of Jason's rage comes, consciously or subconsciously, from the understanding of his own unfulfilled potential.
Sure, Tim is often known as the "smartest Robin," but they're ALL smart, and no one applied themselves in school more than Jason. This kid was a straight-A student who loved his classes. He loved proving people who underestimated him wrong. The world was Jason Todd's oyster; he went from the alley to Wayne Manor and didn't plan on stopping...
Then he died at fifteen.
Of course he's pissed! He had a whole life ahead of him--one he hadn't even let himself dream of as a kid, then it came into his reach and he worked his ass off grasping for it. In Jason's mind, Bruce gave an underprivileged kid the world, dangled better things in front of him, and then yanked all hope away. And now, as the man he's become post-resurrection, Jason doesn't see a way to ever get that future back. Dying--and, by extension, Bruce--stole it from him. What else does he have but revenge?
takes forever to write a text bc he first makes a bunch of typos with his sausage fingers, then goes back and meticulously edits for spelling
a text from him is either ~5 words or multiple paragraphs, no in between
perfect grammar and punctuation, including proper capitalization
signs every text with "- BW" (very important! yes he also does this to his children! every! single! text!)
is used to writing business emails and it shows
genuinely doesn't understand the social implications of leaving someone on read and will do it constantly
if you're not left on read, your reply is probably gonna be "Ok. - BW" oh, did you ask a yes or no question? too damn bad.
sends super ominous, vague dad textsā¢ all the time about the most mundane things. if he wants to know what alfred is making for dinner without asking him again, dick is getting a text that says "Son. We need to talk. Soon. - BW" with no context
actually will use emojis on occasion but he does it like a bot and it's super unsettling
always has the newest phone to keep up his brucie wayne persona but can't keep up with the changes in operating systems, so mistakes are made (like sending damian an accidental front-camera photo of his surprised face)

rewatched the dark knight recently and I need some commotion for the guyliner on mayor garcia. I just know jd vance put a photo of this guy on his vision board in 2008, incapable of comprehending that he could never be him, and has been flopping as the irl token guyliner politician ever since
dc gives us a lot of bruce and jason butting heads, but what about them working together in perfect sync because they were crime-fighting partners for years, and the pain of being reminded of what once was (and still may be)? what about them looking at the other person's behavior and discovering what they despise most is their own reflection in it? it's gotta suck to be so attuned to someone you can't stand
Funniest part about Robin Jason canonically going to heaven is that it implies either 1) Jason didnāt kill Felipe and Bruce completely blew up their relationship for no reason or 2) youāre allowed in heaven after killing someone as long as that someone really deserved it, which would then imply that heaven itself is on Jasonās side in the Jason vs Bruce conflict.
it's unlikely kurt would have seen or even heard of the muppets prior to living at the x-mansion, so he would have to catch someone watching it there--my money's on jubilee
not only would the optimistic tone appeal to him, I think the musical numbers would as well, given that he's been depicted as the drama teacher at xavier's school in several issues
he would especially love gonzo! c'mon, a friendly, blue-furred "whatever" creature with ties to the circus? he's always just a bit out of step with the other muppets, but he's always trying his best :') and the constant flirtation with camilla the chicken is so kurt-coded
in conclusion, I believe he is somewhere in the mansion rn singing "the rainbow connection," getting half the words wrong bc english is difficult, and annoying tf out of wolverineāØ
