i didnt expect these to take off honestly so have some more! krakoa era tweets wahoooo

I generally consider myself to be open minded about the X-Men and all mutant characters, but there are three characters who I hate. Only one of these is debatable.

First, FUCK Nate Grey. I mention him too much, he is my malicious Roman Empire. I cannot stress it enough, I despise him. I tried to give him a chance but I’m can’t find a single reason to like him.

Second, Jamie Braddock. He’s whiny and he’s lazy and he pisses me off. He’s overpowered for no reason and as I type this I forget why I hate him… I used to mix him up with the last bitch, so there’s that..

Finally, the last and one with possibly the longest list of sins, Jamie Madrox. I hate that man. I hate him. He’s rude, he’s incompetent, he’s judgmental, he doesn’t understand commitment, and he’s unfortunately important to the plot. The thing I hate most about him is the absolute bullshit he pulled on Monet and Siryn. The ladies of X-Factor are my darling girls and I will not tolerate that disrespect, especially when he KILLED SIRYN’S SON??? I don’t care that it was an accident, poor Sean Jr. shouldn’t have been born into the first place. Terry had finally recovered from her depression and her addiction, and he killed her son (whom she named after her father to symbolize her acceptance that Banshee was dead!) then fled. I understand that he didn’t mean to, but it still happened and I won’t tolerate it.

Now, within the context of my AU? I have to be open minded because I refuse to retcon or butcher character just because of my bias. Take Rachel Summers for an example. I used to HATE her, but in my research I began to adore her! I only researched her so that I could find a way to rewrite her, but she found her way into my heart. Now, I’m slowly beginning to tolerate Jamie Braddock’s whiny ass, but Nate and Madrox aren’t getting any love. I will make a post about WHY I chose to retcon Nate Grey, because he and one other character (Amelia Vought..cough) are the only major characters who I genuinely refused to write. However, both Braddock and Madrox will not be retconned, because as much as I hate them as people and characters, they are important to the plot…
