queer themes in x-men my beloved. Angel binding his wings. Bobby’s parents asking if he’s tried just not being a mutant. Nightcrawler and catholic guilt. The existence of cherik. Everything with Scott/Jean/Logan. Mystique and Destiny.
thinking about how Erik remembers this scene in first class differently to how it actually went (during xma)
i put the two clips together for comparison (apologies for the bad transition between them i honestly don’t care about fixing it rn)
HELLO?? 😭😭
damn i guess Erik wants to feel needed. especially from Charles 🤨
omg why is he so gay… YOUR WIFE AND DAUGHTER DIED LIKE TWO DAYS AGO???
the gay tear….
It's just an idea I have in my head and I'm really lazy to do anything with it but what if there were a clone that was made out of Erik's and charles dna and they would have there powers combined so tgey have to co parent Idk it might be dumb but you can use it of you like for your fanfiction
Omg that sounds so much like Onslaught !!
Okay so I could totally imagine Erik having a mission with the Brotherhood to destroy a lab and in one of those labs he would find a child, barely older than 6, huddled against the back wall, covering his ears because he can hear everyone’s thoughts.
The child would have Erik’s hair, nose or lips and would have Charles’ eyes and kind smile.
Erik recognizes these eyes directly and think that the child might be Charles’ and that he had been abducted or something and he takes the child with him (the child wouldn’t show resistance because Erik is the only silent mind around him bc of the helmet and it makes me feel better).
Once he arrives at the Mansion, he goes to Charles who is in his office, and is mad to see that Charles doesn’t seem bothered by the disappearance of his child, so he screams at him but Charles is like “Wtf, what kid ?”
Then Charles sees the child and goes in Professor mode, making sure the kid is safe and not scared. After he realizes the child is also a telepath, and a powerful one, them asks him if they have a name, to which the child answers no.
They both get super worried but the child goes around Charles’ office and touches everything, since it’s his first time out of the lab.
Charles then realizes the ressemblance between the kid and Erik and asks who is the mother, to which Erik’s like “well YOU should know” and after arguing they arrive to the conclusion that the kid looks definitely like the both of them.
But they are sure of it the minute they walk into Hank’s lab to ask for a blood test because the child destroyed absolutely everything inside of it, using his metalokinesie that he inherited from Erik.
They both decides that the child must stay at the school, where he will be safe and sound, but Erik can’t leave. He wants to. He needs to. But he can’t. So after talking to Mystique, he decides to stay with the child. Just for a week. Just to help Charles and make sure no one will come for the child.
After a month, it’s clear of every inhabitant of the school that both Erik and the child are here to stay. And every time someone tries to talk about their concerns to Charles, he just says that the child deserves to have both of their fathers in their life.
Okay maybe I went to far lmao, but here’s what I would write with this idea !! Hope you like it <3

Can someone please send me to heaven to kick Aziraphale's ass ?!
What was that end !!?? Why not just let them be happy, just like Gabriel and Belzebubs 🥲
I don't believe in love anymore.
Do you guys think that the night Nina was born, Erik felt like peace could finally be an option ?
Like, he watched her sleep, her small hand wrapped around his finger and for a moment, the world felt gentle… It was the first time in such a long period that he felt fear for someone else than himself..
Only for everything to be destroyed years later, leaving him alone again…
Chapter 4 of my fic brought you the fish boyfriend, so I thought I'd do a quick little drawing to go with it<3
Dear Lord, I need someone to write a fic where all of the first class time travel into the future, like in dark phoenix or apocalypse or anything and they just like… see how fucked up their future is ??
Like, what do you mean Charles is in a wheelchair AND doesn’t have any hair !?
What do you mean Alex and Sean are death ??? Like wtf
And most importantly, WHAT DO YOU MEAN CHARLES AND ERIK ARE NOT MARRIED WITH THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN ?!!
And so, they see all of this and decide to make compromises to be sure that their future will be better. Because a future where they are all separated is not a future they want 😾
MY SHAYLAS...
found family? no, forced family
Absolutely fucking not
another question that gets me is… would u be friends with your parents if they were your not your parents/ were the age you are now?? hard to tell bc who knows what they were really like at 20 something but….. we wonder. and we wonder and wonder.
I didn’t planned to cry but here we are 🥲
I've been thinking about the Paris Proposal lately.
I love it so much. In a time when Charles is so vulnerable and alone- Raven is dead, Jean is gone(?), he lost his place as headmaster of the school and leader of the x-men, and surely he assumes he's lost Erik long ago- Erik shows up and is so soft and gentle.
The best part? This line:
Throughout the series but particularly in Dark Phoenix, everyone that Charles loves interprets his intentions in the worst possible light. This movie is like, one long Charles whump; Raven accuses him of hiding in the mansion and taking the credit for the x-men's success, Hank cruelly blames him for Raven's death and turns on him after thirty years of friendship, and even Erik gets his licks in ("You're always sorry...but nobody cares anymore"!? ERIK!!!)
But then Erik shows up in Paris, and says "You saved my life, and you offered me a home."
I'm certain that in First Class, Erik didn't see it that way. Instead, he saw Charles making ultimatums and rejecting Erik entirely the moment Erik did something Charles didn't agree with (and we can all agree Charles didn't handle things well on that beach, but the truth is that he always, always forgives Erik and he always wants him back, even when he's upset with him)
Sometime over the last thirty years, Erik has reevaluated that time and come to the conclusion that- yes, Charles was offering him a home-not just a place to sleep and train and plot.
A home.
Somewhere you return to at the end of every day, regardless of what that day brought and whether you were the best or worst version of yourself, somewhere safe and accepting and loving.
After Charles has lost everything he cares about and is told he's selfish and dangerous and always has been, Erik shows up to convince him otherwise.
"You saved my life, and you offered me a home. I'd like to do the same for you."
Which, given all that context, sounds a lot like:
Two people with decades of grief and pain and anger between them seeing the love and good in each other at the end of it all.
Absolutely beautiful.
