I am actually convinced that when Charles was shot, Erik completely forgot that he was still wearing the helmet and was projecting his thoughts at Charles like crazy, trying to get him to understand the meaning behind his words. But thanks to that helmet, Charles didn’t hear his thoughts and so misunderstood all his words.

“We want the same thing.”

What Erik meant: We both want to be together, don’t we? I love you and want to spend my life with you and grow old with you and never be parted from you again, you must want that too??

What Charles heard: We both want to do whatever it takes to protect our kind, even if it means committing terrorism, don’t we? I want mutantkind to flourish regardless of human collateral damage, you must want that too??

“I’m sorry, but we do not.”

What Charles meant: I don’t want to deal with humans that way, and I refuse to be part of such violent plans; you’ve gone down a path I can’t follow, and I can’t bear it because I love you so much and I wish there was some way that we can make this work but clearly you don’t want this to work and your ideals mean more to you than I do.

What Erik heard: I don’t want you anymore, I don’t love you anymore, and I refuse to grow old with a monster like you; you’ve destroyed me, and I hate you for it, so please get out of here. I never want to see you again.

There are Shakespearean tragedies and then there are these two.

In your recent cherik post you said they said, ‘you never looked so beautiful’. Please please please help me remember when they said that

I was referring to a deleted scene from First Class where Charles shows Angel what Erik looks like in drag and Charles says “You’ve never looked more beautiful, darling” to him!

This is the link to that scene but it’s a bit low quality!

"It's a very beautiful memory, Erik. Thank you. There's so much more to you than you know. Not just pain and anger. There's good too, I felt it."

let's just say i'm frankenstein's monster

[chheese-mmmhh]

having charles say they don’t want the same thing after erik called them brothers is certainly a choice😭 also the way erik was saying the gayest shit and had to add that brothers line just to make sure he wasn’t caught out

Cherik Thoughts

I thoroughly believe those two men fell in love very fast. But I also believe neither of them did a singular thing about it.

It was the 60s. Being a mutant? Hard enough. Being Jewish AND a mutant? Even worse? BEING GAY AND A MUTANT? literally unthinkable. They have taken enough hits they ain’t putting themselves up on the chopping block ANOTHER WAY

these two gay men wanted separate things yes. Charles wanted to be a part of humans and Erik wanted mutants to be recognized as their own.

But both of these goals require them to be ‘model mutants’ in a way. Charles being gay would throw off everything, it’d make trying to bring people around to his ideology harder because there’s this wall of “he thinks being gay is right can we trust him on anything else?”. And Erik does not have the time or emotional wherewithal to deal with All That while he try’s to accomplish his goals.

plus! These men cannot feel an emotion normally to save their lives! See the raging Erik or the DOFP Charles, like omg coming out of the closet would disintegrate them! They could not handle the idea of disappointing the people around them or WORSE the confrontation of being in love with the guy Thats against you in every way.

it is a tragedy because it was never meant to be! These two men cannot get over themselves to get to eachother! They are both right in some ways and both wrong in some ways and both IN A RIVER IN EGYPT!

thanks for listening to me yell :] I might be dumb idk I have thoughts and I’ll share them

…

but I don’t care KISS GAY BOY KISS

In my fanfics they do in fact get over it <3
