X Men Apocalypse isn’t great but I love it because it boils down to this

Erik: hey guys! I’m going to help this blue guy destroy the world! It’ll be fun, brb! :)

then two minutes later he comes back and says to the blue guy

Erik: yeah, so I just remembered that Charles lives in the world, so I can’t let you destroy it. Sorry.

Charles: "Stop. Give me your hand. I am your friend."

Erik: "I'm afraid I'll stain your clothes with blood."

Charles: "Stain them. Ruin them. I do not care."

Yan happy universe Cherik with Erik just yapping away in his head (and bc someone asked for the raw pics they’re there too) goodnight

Cherik mini comic about Charles’ telepathy vaguely based off a fic I read while back where they had a similar conversation. I can’t find it now but if anyone can let me know 😢

Not a sad one! Kind of! Maybe I’ll make a sad one in the future. I need to go finish my homework now LOL but thank you everyone for the patience!

Okay hear me out for a second as I explain how hope or lack there of in Charles and Erik's childhoods impacted their adult lives and ultimately led to the heart wrenching "we want the same thing. -i'm sorry, but we do not"

They both grew up in terrible circumstances (we don't compare traumas here), but one of the main differences in how it affected who they grew up to become is that Charles had someone who tried to protect him, and, as such, hope of getting out, while Erik was utterly hopeless. As a result, Charles decided to help others by sharing that hope and taught his students to protect others, and Erik taught them to protect themselves, to stop hoping, to stop waiting to be saved, and to save themselves.

Charles views hope as a motivation to keep fighting

Erik views hope as a lie to delay the moment to start fighting

cherik is the definition of

“who did this to you?”

“you did”
