You have to laugh.

You’re not really far off, honestly. If it’s not a tragedy arc, it’s certainly a psychological one, considering we, as humans, tend to lead ourselves straight into what we’ve been trying to avoid. Sadly, that’s a common trait for people with mental illness, especially an untreated one. I’m not a mental health professional so I can only speak from my personal experience, as well as from a very subjective point of view, but John to me has always been a classic example of a person who should have gone to therapy (and not that screaming nonsense he’s been doing). I know you sent this after that post talking about John insulting Paul’s song for everyone to hear after the rehearsal before the first Yesterday performance, and if that isn’t a classic example of projecting one’s insecurities and fears to make yourself feel better while damaging one of the crucial relationships of your life, then I don’t know what is. And to be honest, John wasn’t really the only one who did it, they all had their fair share of trying to avoid a mess while creating another. It’s what I’ve always felt was one of very prevalent themes in the Beatles’ mythology.

Yeah! I feel very sorry for him and also for Cynthia, who raised him by herself! Every time I read about him I dislike John a little more... I know he wasn't ready to be a father when Julian was born, but still...

As much as I identify with Erik on a personal level, we disagree on the radicalism and the genocidal tendencies. I’m all for change but I’m also an historian and know that change needs time and that violent overhauls never lead to anything good. Charles is far from being a pacifist who rolls on his back every time he’s confronted with adversary (the X-men are a paramilitary organisation ffs) and he gets that to make things better in the long term, you have to work with the majority. Or just plain work them. Manipulate them, trick them, spread knowledge and acceptance among the younger generations until they see that you’re right. So yeah, I’d definitely follow Charles even if it’s the more painful and frustrating way at first. 

@clickthefrog wrote this little Post XMA gem. Heartwarming, bittersweet and hopeful. Oh, and don’t forget the smut!

Thank  you friends; I think I need to write a bit more to exorcise the plot bunny lol. At least get him to meet Charles and some of the others at the Manor yes? (And maybe just a taste of the kinky sex).

Oh wow, well that is so awesome! That explains why the father’s face is always hidden in flashbacks. :)

And that’s just the sorta official statement, who the fuck even knows what he was really doing in his spare time.
