Fuck off <3

Also, may I recommend

Devil in disguise by Marino.

I do not, at least not dircetly. Probably because 99% of the music I listen to does not reminisce of Henry or Hank to me. (It's actually really hard for me to understand the lyrics to a majority of songs. The number of songs I listen to and like and the percentage of those I actually understand all the words to is kinda sad. So, I mainly listen to the music for the vibes. For some reason, artists like P!nk and Crane Wives sing in a way that I can understand them. Thus, they are my favorite.)

Though sometimes to get in the headspace of replying as him, I'll listen to 'dark' music like Nine Inch Nails for the general vibe.

...Devil in Disguise is a good song! (And I understood it!) Thanks for sharing it with me.

Oh man I just realized that. Now I'm just sad. That's horrible and sort of sad excuse on their part? I wonder if this also to put down those theories of Dark Beast replacing Hank (again) or that there was some sort of error in the resurrection protocol. Where Krakoa confused them as the same.

Honestly, I think x-men fans writes better than the official writers. If somehow retconed. Would love to see either theories or how they'll tackle that.

Do you have any theories? Would love to hear them if there's any.

You got it exactly right.

Do you have any theories?

Yes. You see, it will be revealed that Sinister kept Dark Beast alive in order to replicate whatever changes he had made to his brain over the years so that he could secretly inject 616 with a case of the evil.( Which is why he went from morally questionable to 'muwahahaha evil" so quickly.) Not only to fuck with Krakoa in general, but with 295 Henry because why not?

This will all be revealed when some seemingly innocent person is the current lackey of 295 head-in-the-jar Henry, who is trying to do (insert randomly evil thing here) while also trying to get a new body...which he is going to take from reboot 616 Hank.

...Did you ever watch stupid soap operas on daytime television as a kid? Let's lean into that and do some Days of Our Mutant Lives.

Is so funny to me. Especially when he hates pickles. Have some pickled Mccoy. And what does sinister even need his head for anyway? Or how sinister acquired it in the first place.

Not much of a scientific conversations between those two when Henry is angry.

Ah, yes. Have some pickled McCoy. Careful, it's an aquired taste. Fun fact: Henry McCoy hated pickles, so I call this dish 'poetic justice'.

Anyway...

From a non narrative perspective, I have no idea. Obviously, they don't get along, and McCoy is more trouble than he's worth when you have your own evil agenda.

And, to be fair, it's not like the other mutants were losing sleep wondering where he was at. If he were fully brought back, they would just throw him in the pit (which could have been an interesting reflective moment for someone as they wondered why they were throwing one jackass McCoy away and sitting the other run amok.)

Thank you! I'm glad that you think so. (My English degree isn't a waste, yay!)

The short answer is no. I do not have any fanfics that include Henry... or even the X-Men. Again, I felt (and still feel) like I couldn't do him (them) justice with longer form writing. The longer answer is yes, but I never posted them publicly, nor did they escape the culling during college.

I suck at creating a plot. My skills mainly lay in characterization and setting. That is an overreaching problem in all of my writing.

Thank you?

It probably was not the healthiest of coping mechanisms, but I can think of way, way worse things I could have done as a teen.

If ever possible, I wish the next writer who will be handling Beast has the same love and devotion to the character. Perhaps some solo comics too. But that's asking too much from marvel.

Would love to see dark beast too. I enjoyed these. I'm close to reading on age of apocalypse after I'm done with reading the others. His art is amazing and menacing, they catch the edgier vibe well.

Yeah, it's been a long time -- more than half of my life, which is wild to think about.

I hope that a writer who likes Beast (or at least doesn't hate him) creates a decent path for him to grow/change with.

Well, one would be my commission at SDCC 2014. (The artist said he loved doing uncommon commissions!)

I really love his design in Excalibur. The fucker is almost always smiling -- giving off that beautiful manic energy, which I find to be more threatening than just his "evil scientist" mode. (Also, his pants make me laugh. They are his shiny metal ones, but with this weird scrap -- cloth??? -- hanging from his beltline. What is that, Henry? wHAt iS tHAt?!?)

I MEAN, LOOK AT HIM. THAT WOMAN AGENT WAS THROWING HERSELF AT HIM FOR A VERY GOOD REASON!

I'm sad that for a character that existed for so long is extremely underrated. And now many new comic readers or new in the world of x-men is instead introduced to Prime Beast of Krakoa. Turning people to absolutely hate him or anyone who likes him.

I believe it's too late now to return the original Beast. Even if cloned, he's a character forever ruined.

And now I'd love to hear more about the true, ever loving, bouncing blue beast from the past.

My fondness for OG5 Beast was forged through personal familiarity while reading the original 1960s/70s comics, rather than the quality of the writing or art style.

(Note: I don’t particularly recommend reading any of the X-Men comics until the late 70s/early 80s. The original five X-Men characters are bland as mashed potatoes without salt, with only the seasoning of cheesy/campiness for flavor. Do yourself a favor and read X-Men: First Class Tomorrow’s Brightest if you want to dive into Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Iceman, Beast, and Angel’s teen years. You’ll get all you need from that.)

A warning of sorts: this gets weirdly personal for me.
