charles: look i would appreciate it if you didn't try to kill my sister
erik, rolling his eyes: that was one time
raven: is that what you told yourself when you slept with my brother
"it's my defense mechanism" "suffering from delusions of grandeur" "two corpses, everything's fine" "communism was just a red herring" "one plus two plus two plus one" "i didn't know it was *that* free" "i know because i was there" "i thought men like you were usually called a fruit" clue (1985) was so ahead of its time
we need more magneto/quicksilver 1985 edits PLEASE I AM BEGGING
i love how every bromance i find inevitability leads me to another one because i started with hugh jackman & ryan reynolds which led to james mcavoy & michael fassbender which turned to patrick stewart & ian mckellen and slid into sebastian stan & anthony mackie and somehow landed at david tennant & michael sheen
and that was all through tumblr
I hope Ian McKellen gets his lifelong dream of making out with Patrick Stewart sloppy on camera for X-Men fulfilled with being part of Avengers Doomsday. I really hope he does. It’s truly what the people want (what the people want is real old man yaoi).
cherik playing chess is 2026 might cure me
the probability that marvel will fuck up cherik in doomsday is high, but the probability that the fandom will milk the few on-screen cherik interactions is inevitable
marvel pls i'm begging let loki and magneto interact on screen
hear me out first class erik and apocalypse charles set in dofp
don't talk to me zayn sang night changes in 2025
the dissertation is actually going to be in the form of an ao3 work titled after a chess strategy and everything is a metaphor for gay sex or blatant homoerotic tension
the way i could write a 20 page dissertation on the symbolism of cherik's pastime being chess
tbh if i saw my ex lying on the ground in a lilac sweater with the most luscious brown locks begging me to remember the time he helped me understand that there is good within my rageful soul i would probably give up advocating for human genocide and make out with him
idk what erik was on
when i was fourteen writing on wattpad i accidentally wrote this chapter that was eight thousand words and i thought it was too long so i broke it into two parts (and even four thousand/chapter was a stretch at the time)
now i've returned to ao3 and i have no idea how i pulled that off but i want whatever possessed me then to take over now
we don't talk enough about how erik just goes into creative mode and flies away
honestly how did anyone take this man seriously (especially with that helmet)
charles: they're just following orders
erik: what the fuck did you just say
poor charles how exhausting it seemed to have to constantly talk erik down from tapping into his instinctive vengeful hatred
your mother wouldn't approve how my mother raised me, but i do, i finally do.
"Oh to play by the rules and still they come for you."
Magneto went hard with that line.
erik: i want you by my side
charles: i want to be with you. we are not the same
actually my favorite horror film is x men first class
"cherik got married in paris and then-" they spent the rest of their lives playing chess and having heated political debates that ended in aggressively making out and lived happily ever after. the end.
I need you to understand that when I say "comments are appreciated!" I mean that I will reply to every one of them. I mean that an email with an ao3 notification has a higher priority than a message from my mother. I mean that I will have entire discussions in the comment section if you're up for it. Message me on tumblr and I will have the same discussions on an even more unhinged level. I will dissect entire personalities and ships and fictional political structures and worldbuilding with you. I will become your new best friend. You already ARE my new best friend. At the last battle, I would raise Anduril and say "For my ao3 readers" while a single tears rolls down my cheek, and dive into the fray. I would upload from beyond the grave if someone asked about the next chapter
no i didn't draft a cherik fic where erik is president of a chess club and charles is "new in town" and erik is subtle with his powers and he's also a bit of an asshole because of some silly tragic backstory and charles joins said chess club and they're both on debate
no absolutely not why would i do that when i haven't completed literally anything else
fics where erik lehnsherr is pathetic and i mean pathetic
Write it shitty, write it scared, write it without a clue but don't you be so spineless and have an AI write fanfic for you.
