Transcendental

Transcendental

When is retirement not retirement? When is the end not truly an ending? Walking away doesn’t necessarily mean giving up, death isn’t always the end.

Some people can at times transcend, but only if they’re willing, if they’re ready to embrace all they are, and might yet be…

The story of Erik, Charles and the love that will make them keep rising, time and again, like the Phoenix… 

Post DP fic that goes into, among other things: Charles and Erik together in Genosha, romance, moving on, and building a new future after old dreams are lost. 

I’m aware that in the movie the idea was to show Charles as the one at fault this time around; make him proud, arrogant, etc. Thing is, I don’t see it that way. I think some things are open to interpretation and I chose to see them that way. Because while I won’t say Charles is perfect, I don’t think he’s the kind of man to use the X-Men to make himself famous. It doesn’t fit with his character, in my opinion. I thought: what other reason could there be? What reason could Charles have for pushing the X-Men like that? Really, what is Charles’s chief motivation at all times? Protecting the mutants, his students, his children. When the biggest threat to them are humans, specifically human governments, what better way to ensure their safety than to have the humans see them as heroes? As necessary? You don’t turn on those who’ve saved your life... or that was supposed to be the idea. 

Now, one of the things that pushed this belief in me, aside from what I mentioned before about Charles’s characterization and motivations, is that, at the end, the whole Charles leaving the Institute, leaving everyone, after everything that just happened: Jean dead, the mess with the Phoenix and the D’Bari, the humans turning on the mutants, again, and all the others who died (and the destruction their battle caused)... it makes no sense for Charles to leave then. Unless someone told him to leave... someone who was already angry at him, who blamed him for everything that happened... 

That was the other thing that fueled the creation of this fic and... well. I hope some people might be interested in reading it. (It’s 2 chapters thus far, the third will be up by the weekend)

Speaking as a writer: I love it when people start asking questions about why certain things happen, that lead to my getting the chance to talk headcanons and worldbuilding, and us talking about how each of us see this world we’re playing in. It’s fantastic! 

Also, I do covers, sometimes wallapers, banners, and have even been known to do playlists for my fics. 

Do you ever read a fic so interesting you want behind the scenes lore, ten pinterest moodboards and one of those fancy .gif edits but none of that exists bc it's a fanfic?

Here, Here and Here Fanart

@marveltrumpshate 

Second (and last) of the fanarts created for the talented @aurorawest​. Who bid for me in the Marvel Trumps Hate 2021 auction. It’s a banner for her fic of the same name, which you should really go read! (More about it can be found here: https://www.tumblr.com/aurorawest/695330036438482944/title-here-here-and-here-author-aurorawest?source=share  

I’d have never imagined it put quite like that. And yet the fact that it’s quite accurate is... I cannot believe we live in a world where such a thing could even be possible. And yet...

a dark day... the onion went off

We Made It

@marveltrumpshate​

Fanart made for the very kind @t0nystark1er​, who bid for me in the Marvel Trumps Hate 2022. She wanted a Cherik fanart. We decided on a wallpaper and during our conversation as we decided what to make it about, at some point she said about it showing that they made it together... I loved that idea, and this is what came out (I like how it came out):
