can u also do 1, 5, and 6 with me and pietro.... please.......... (or just 1&6 if you don't remember our first meeting)
!!
1: most vivid/favorite memory with them
hf again i run into the issue that i donāt have stark memories - which sounds terrible, my two oldest living children, who iāve known since they were Young Adults,
my kin memories for 616 tend to be Conglomerate not-single-memory things so iāll, say more in question six
5: what your first impression of them was in canon
this is so something because my memory of my Early Days As Magneto is nearly completely absent which i canāt really attribute to time because i remember israel and possibly even before them. i donāt know, Early Magneto has always feltā¦somehow to me. i think itās because the comics are at the very cartoony ridiculous stage of things so itās hard to connect What Actually Happened in contrast with more serious coherent writing later on
BUT either way. i canāt say first impression because i donāt remember meeting, exactly, but i do know kind of how they. fit into the brotherhood wrt me. i know i was keeping them there in debt to me for saving them, or something of that nature. i didnāt really have any initialā¦feeling about them rather than Useful Associates but i do know that, out of all of them, they were the most bearable and competent. in their own right and also because i historically just donāt like toad and mastermind is a creep. like extremely so as time goes in but even then it was pretty evident
i didnāt necessarily have a lot of insight of who they were when they were in the brotherhood but. i think pietro and i mightāve disagreed here and there if only because he challenged authority or something
6: what you thought of them after youād talked/interacted more
i fluctuated a lot between trying to be an actual good person father and just reverting back to My Magneto Ways and being manipulative for purposes i thought were more important than caring about my children
i think this changed in a big way when the twins were born/after my trial/becoming a headmaster and so on. i tried to be involved in at least wandaās life. pietro wasnāt really having it but that was what i expected
but then things, of course, went sour again. and were just kind of all over the place. iĀ ādiedā, there was lorna, i came back and house of m happened
iām being really brief but it was generally a messy and rocky relationship peppered with a lot of bitterness over past fighting and me choosing not to prioritize wanda and pietro and them suffering from that
in a lot of ways i see excalibur, house of m and childrens crusade of me Realizing Things. not that some of these realized things werenāt revelations iād had before but they came alongside several realizations about my own motivations and the state of my species. this happened alongside the genosha genocide, and m-day, and then hope, avengers vs xmenā¦.the phoenix fiveā¦.i allied myself with people who iād tried to murder more than once. i realized what was important in lot of ways. and i also noted that i did not deserve to be a part of some of what was important to me, and accepted that, but i decided i must try anyway.
wanda had a more amicable relationship with me than pietro did. she was definitely standoff-ish & distrustful of me more in the past , and had much reason to be. i was surprised she allowed me to see the children and be a marginal part of her lifeā¦.and further down the line, after house of m, i was shocked she didnāt reject me as pietro had. she gave me more benefit of the doubt than i deserved
our relationship improved a lot after childrens crusade and we could. Talk about things that needed to be talked about
as to what i Thought of wanda , i of course loved her and thought she was amazingā¦.thats my Daughmter. i was grateful that despite everything she grew up well
pietroā¦ā¦..i donāt think pietro forgave me a lot of things and i didnāt expect him to.Ā i donāt think i gave pietro the attention or like. Parental Guidance he wanted for so long and so theres just. lots of bitterness and pain there
as to what i Thought of pietro. i love pietro, ofcā¦ i think - besides The Past - itās one of thoseĀ ātoo much alikeā things that causes us to butt heads so much (honestly if pietro here he would yell at me for that comparison but its true). but with that similarity we also have stark differences and itās just. difficult.Ā
things got better after childrens crusade, from what i remember. he wasnāt that outwardly welcoming to my attempts to be closer to him but he didnāt push me away as much after a while and spent time with me/the family of his own accord
