Raw reactions to Storm #1

Ororo 💙

SPOILERS!

This is a solid first issue. Art is out of this world, writing is great. I recognised Ororo, in form and in words, from the first page, and the book made me realise how much I'd missed her. This is a huge compliment coming from me.

Why is she in Atlanta? Why not, but I'd like to know, because I didn't think she had any ties there.

Why is Frenzy here? Why not, but I'd like to know, because I didn't think there were close friends or anything.

Why did she leave Arakko? Why not, but I'd like to know, because... ok you get my point. The slate has been wiped a bit too clean and I'm wondering if we're all hallucinating or something. I mean, there are hippos. Can anyone else see the hippos?

I am SO DONE with the Danaerys Targaryen intro every time she appears on panel, but if there's ever a time to do it, it's the first issue of a new solo, so I'll let it slide.

The Sanctuary. I don't want to join any debate, but I'll say it: these doors are ridiculous. Our girl has an ego, but her exploits carved on glass? Really? This is more than Ororo has time for. These doors are not Ororo, they're the voice of Ororo's fans, and fans are always going to be over the top. There is a time and place to listen to the fans, and this isn't it. Let her have a sanctuary, let her call it the Storm Sanctuary if she wants to, let her keep the amazing walk-in closet with holograms included, but these doors? No. Too much.

Did she just puke? Lol.

Hehehe, I love that she didn't believe Stark until his findings had been confirmed by the work of, like, 5 other people (including Forge).

I do wish she'd called Sage here though. Because "running the numbers" is a Sage job if I ever saw one. But that's what happens when you have multiple reboots and characters in different books: old connections get forgotten. (Although to be fair Sage probably has her Out Of Office on at this stage.)

Ororo with children = warm and fuzzy feeling.

Hey, Rogue's team is not the only X-team out there! I know, I know, it probably means Storm will meet Rogue's team soon. But still, we should have seen more people watching her speech. (You just know Forge looked away from the Analog for this.)

I loved the moral dilemma she faced, and I loved the decision she took. I always, always trust this woman to make the best moral decisions. WWOD, What Would Ororo Do. I live by it.

I love the detail of the empty seats. The big breath before facing the crowd. The splinter as well, even if it's less subtle. The puke counts too, I guess. This is one fallible Goddess, and I'm here for it.

I already see a sort of tug of war between human and more-than-human Ororo. The issue is very down-to-earth, and yet the overarching threat looks very...cosmic. It's hinted that she might become a politician - but also an Eternal. This dichotomy is Ororo's main trope as a character, you can't have a Storm book without it. Or at least you shouldn't.

You do your own thing my love, you stand on your own. We're with you. Don't be a stranger though. Once an X-Man, always an X-Man.

Hey James ☺️

Happy positive asks week!

Popping into your asks with a fun little thing I thought of:

Have you ever heard of a rainbow walk? Its a thing you do for meditation/mindfulness where you go through each color of the rainbow and come up with/ imagine an experience/something associated with each color that makes you happy/relaxed.

So, let's go for a rainbow walk!

Describe to me something that's

Red

Orange

Yellow

Green

Blue

Purple

And when you write them try to imagine each thing using your senses and immerse yourself in the experience!

-❤️🪐

Hi Saturn!!! Sorry it took me so long to respond to this!!

Happy positive asks week to you too!! This is such a sweet ask and also super helpful cause I'm a little burnt out at the moment!

Red - The curtains in front of me are red, and they're a little velvety and fuzzy too so I'm a big fan of them. They also make the office so nice and dark and cozy

Orange - I have a little Pop Vinyl of Goose from Captain Marvel on my bookshelf (he's between Nick Fury and Pikachu) and he's orange!!! Love Goose so much

Yellow - The planets (Saturn, actually!) on the blanket I made for Eddie's bed are yellow! I went and got him some fluffy fabrics and made him a blanket cause he stole my favourite hoodie as his but the blanket isn't good enough for him apparently LMAO

Green - My dice box for my DND dice is green! My friend made it for me in his garage and it has a rogue related symbol on the front in black and gold too. The best part about the box is the fact that it's massive and holds so much dice potential haha, I'm a fuckin nerd

Blue - My favourite colour 💙 my stethoscope case is blue, with an orange cross in the middle. I very rarely actually use the case bc it's kinda clunky and I'm one of those medical professionals that swans around with my stethoscope around my neck

Purple - Somehow I really struggled with this but then I saw the box that's got my Elder Wand in it! Bought it at platform 9 and 3/4 when I was in London when I was a kid (back before JKR was a vocal TERF🙃) but it's got nostalgic factors for me which is why it's stayed

Thank you so much for the ask!! It was very nice to take a step back and get out of my head for a second 💙
