I bought this X men colouring book today to do when I can't sleep, but it had to have one stipulation....

The stipulation in question;

[evilpodling]

Watching some leaked gameplay footage of the new wolverine game, a line from Logan while exploring somewhere gave me the most intense head canon I've had in AGES.

So hear me out. Even in times of "friendship" (and I use that term super lightly) between Logan and Victor, I feel like Creed wouldn't be able to stop messing with Logan.

I feel like he'd be so SUPER petty, even if him and Logan are working for team X together and working well.

Something as simple and annoying as going over something Logan had done and messing with it. Maybe Vic would take incredible pleasure in recording over something Logan had recorded, just to fuck with him. But he keeps doing it. A couple times at first. But then every time Logan goes to play back a tape, he finds that Vic's recorded something stupid like the news or the weather report over whatever Logan wanted to watch or listen to.

Maybe he does something as irritating as moving Logan's stuff. Hiding the beer, putting his cigars on a high shelf. Throwing his combat boots out the window into the snow. Logan will find them eventually. But it's going to cause him inconvenience to do so and it's going to annoy him.

Damn, I love petty bitch Sabretooth and the idea of him still trying to get under Wolverine's skin when they're working/living together just tickles me.

Yo, I went out to a bar in Birmingham tonight wearing my favourite Sabretooth shirt. Met the most amazing lady who wanted to talk about wolverine and Sabretooth all night. If you're out there, in this community, reach out. It was a pleasure and I'd love to talk again.

[evilpodling]

I've been waiting for this for a while. So lemme spit some truth.

I'm not mad. I could have been. I've seen people getting antsy saying he looks like Michael Bay's Shredder. I get it. But my guys, gals and fabulous others, let me tell you. I'm fucking excited. Would have liked a more open kabuto design, but I'm fucking FOR this. Oh what a glorious day.

[evilpodling]

I HAVE to say it. I hate the way the dead don't talk tries to give Vic a tragic loss in the same way the first X men tried to. There's something about both comics that seems... Ick. He's not wolverine. Logan's lived a tragic life of torment and loss. It's what makes Logan a stronger character. But when applied to Sabretooth, whose meant to be completely wild and psychopathic it completely turns me off. Mary Shelley's overdrive, there was something more personal about it, about Vic finding just a normal person who just accepted him.

The first X men and now the dead don't talk seem...forced? I'm just not feeling it. I'll keep getting the comics purely for the cover art but I doubt I'll really accept it as canon.

[evilpodling]

The world needs more team X era Sabretooth. Just saying.

pov: you are about to become friskies paté

So a very, VERY, long time ago, I found this picture on a random Sabretooth blog (back when the internet was new). Dunno if it is Sabeybaby? Always liked to believe it was. Apparently it was from some sort of Christmas Marvel special? Never was able to find the original material. If anyone knows any more, I'd love to know?

[evilpodling]

Sabeybaby is so beautiful in this comic. I'm so fussy about how he's drawn, but he's so pretty in the dead don't talk. Ugh. Magnificent.

[evilpodling]

I just... I just keep buying variants. Why is the comic book store so close to my work? Why do I keep spending my big girl money on the same comic? Will I be stopped?

Find out next time, on Dragon ball Z.

[evilpodling]

I totally believe he'd eat people. Creed's got no issue with being an animal. It's implied in a few different issues (sorry, too tired to find them). But I'm sure my dude gets the munchies for Cheetos and people.

fandoms always claiming sabretooths into cannibalism, and it could totally be that my brain blocked it out but..i cant remember that being a thing?

i mean, there was a bit of it in a flashback to old man logans timeline-

(Weapon X 2017, issue #16)

but that was after he’d gone COMPLETELY feral

and there was a moment in dead man logan where he(the resurrected version of old man logans sabes, but with different writers so the continuity is obv off) tried it out for a sec while in a town of cannibals-

(Dead Man Logan, issue #8)

and theres been moments where he jokes about it-

(X-Men 1991, issue #37)

and hes definitely…

well…..

a biter.

(Wolverine 2014, issue #7)

but tearing out flesh is different from actually taking the time to eat a guy yknow

again, i could just be blanking on a whole issue where he admits to it. tho, even if its just a single issue, every writers still got differing opinions on him too….

(yes, i remember the bit in sabretooth war. no, i dont consider valid evidence)(imho anyway. only thing i really took from those comics was the canon gay stuff)

(Wolverine 2020, issue #41)

[evilpodling]

I brought midnight suns on sale. I'd seen some bits about it, but I honestly didn't realise how much I'd enjoy it. BY FAR my favourite representation of Sabretooth in ages for me. Logan even highlights just how obsessive Creed is about him in a friendship dialogue (he says Sabes ate his mail man, which had me cackling ).

I'll genuinely play this again when I've finished it, if only to listen to Peter Lurie's perfect Sabretooth voice (I could sleep to it. Seriously).

[evilpodling]

I've finally done it. After 15 years of hardcore fangirling over Victor Creed, I've found time and money to book in to get my Sabretooth tattoo with my favourite artist in the new year. What a satisfying feeling. I'll be going with this base picture, in my artist's style. I'm so excited.

[evilpodling]

I happened to stumble across Blade Trinity again while I was watching TV recently and remembered how I spent years trying to convince people that Triple H should have been Sabretooth. That fight scene with Ryan Reynolds was basically Deadpool Vs Sabretooth *chefs kiss*.

[evilpodling]

Shout-out to AnonGrimm who wrote the meanest Sabretooth fanfiction, that made me think deeper about Victor Creed. That shit changed how I thought of Sabretooth forever.

[evilpodling]

The fact that Constrictor and Sabretooth were the closest thing each other had to best friends makes me sob a little. Creed and Frank worked together in the early days of Creed's criminal career and reading recent Ironfist comics in which someone is impersonating Constrictor and Vic is VERY offended by that, makes me so sad, especially when Creed says he went to the funeral and knew his friend was dead.

[evilpodling]

So when asked if there was anything I was interested in for my birthday by my mom, I reminded her I'm on an X men kick right now and not to worry about it. If I saw something I'd like, I'd get it myself. (Have always done this because I don't really like surprises.)

My mom's an older lady, but she's well aware of my Sabretooth obsession from childhood (prehistoric animal, Marvel and yellow Power Ranger.)

I went to see her today and this is what she'd gotten for me. This is Victor. He lives with me now.

(not really Sabretooth Vic related, but I thought it was sweet that she tried, and as far as I'm concerned, nailed it.)

[evilpodling]

The greatest demonstration of Creed's cruelty. Uncanny X men #328 was both beautiful and savage. And seeing Creed revert back to himself, his true self, and go after Psylocke in such a vicious way was hard to stomach, as well as being a perfect show of Creed himself. When I first read this comic, it stuck with me for days. And despite it all, it made me love Sabretooth more. Absolute 100% must read to expand your Sabretooth knowledge.

Psylocke vs. Sabretooth.

[from Uncanny X-Men (1963) #328]
