#xorna

- lydias character xorna trying to put mustard on and in everything

- “so who’s scooby doo?” said by lyd, cue carlie playing a werewolf giving a highly offended expression

- xorna t-posing and mouth open playing ‘the duck song’ a la lilo & stitch

- xorna using angel wings and grabbing rain (lyd’s sister) and skylar (carlie) with giant talons and leaving a trail of mustard in the air while jerry (my brother) chased them in his van

- “are there, like, little gnomes in the forest?” “no this isnt gravity falls you NERD”

- lydias fuckin wide eyed surprised expression when walking in the same direction in the woods circled back to the town

- jerry ready to be a homewrecker

- when carlie tried going door to door for clues and it worked

- xorna, skylar, and rain ending up on the roof of the diner and having to get down

- “oh cherryville’s cheeseburgers? i thought you said cherryville’s TEETHburgers” said by lydia

- lydia and their sister guessing that a character was not human and me shrugging it off and them both yelling when it was revealed that that character was, in fact, inhuman

- me: so the man turns into a coyote....

carlie: No Doubles

- jerry and xorna stealing all of the saltshakers from the diner

- jerry and xorna being found out to be stealing all of the saltshakers and xorna Soothing the person and jerry then knocking them out, and, when he hit them too hard, giving them first aid.

- lyd: why is a 3 dating an 8?

my brother: fairy magic

- skylar giving a character her brass knuckles, then taking them away, running behind a pillar, and handing them back to the character as iron knuckles

- that same character having an iron piercing on their tongue and my brother going “so he can burn [the monster’s] noodle?”

- the monster tackling that character and xorna yelling “lick him!”

My working idea is that during BotA, Xorna was Jean Grey.That incursion altered Jean and the X-Men’s future, creating a ripple effect that led to her no longer being Xorna by the time we catch up with the Brotherhood again in the future. 

Time as a living organism has Xavier create the Xorna puppet in order to keep as many other events stable as possible. I would not be surprised if there were subtle differences every time we see the Brotherhood again, for the first time.

But that could be wrong. Last night Bendis gave this response to my Mcfly’d comment

nmrosario replied to your post “What up, man. So I saw a page Bendis posted from All New X-Men, I haven't read the book in a looong time but Scott said Jean gained a new power? What's that all about?”

I wonder if we can really put any stock in anything that the future Xorn/Jean Grey said during Battle of the Atom? Especially since it appears that young Xavier was mentally puppeteering her the entire time. Hopefully that will all be cleared up soon

I think there were some genuine moments from her. I believe her powers had evolved to a point she needed the helmet to control them, and stay coherent. I believe the sense of pain she relayed to Jean about an incident in the future was genuine.

I am not sure the puppet-erring was going on at the time. Bendis has stated he has been allowed to change some of the back story now that Aaron, and Lowe are off the franchise. The decision to leave a lot of their history vague is going to help him in the end, now that he is changing details so they are more to his liking.

Like the fact that it would appear Raze & Xavier were originally X-Men. Luckily, it is a single panel in the scene, and can be written off in the grand scheme of things.
