Okay, I’ve noticed something in this last watch-through of the movies.
So the first time En Saba Nur meets Charles and hijacks his powers, Charles is overwhelmed and struggles to communicate with Hank and Alex. He’s never been invaded like this before, and this mind is so old, so powerful, he’s caught up in a swell he didn’t see coming.
The second time?
The second time, Charles has learned. He stays mindful and wary when kidnapped, and he stays aware to project the message that En Sabah Nur directs as he expands his powers. He’s able to slip in a telepaths secret message, right under Nur’s nose. He has a modicum of control, and he makes a power move in the quiet ways of subtle defiance. Three words changed, and his rebellion is complete. “And to those with the greatest power, protect those without.”
The third time, he’s gone down twice.
He strikes the first blows and establishes a foothold. He occupies Nur’s focus, makes him fight for dominance in his own skull, just like he had previously done to Charles. It’s a battle of wills, and a weary Charles does go down.
He doesn’t win, not by himself, because he’s worn down and lessons learned aren’t the magic trick to success.
But that’s okay. Charles has friends with him.
But Charles has backup, and that’s is another lesson he learned a long time ago; have friends on your side who can rally when you’ve been struck down. And that’s how they win the day.
“You are alone, and I am not.”
But Charles’ arc here has been all learning, absorbing lessons. This isn’t the height of his power yet, there is work to be done, but every time Charles learns a little more. And Charles is not afraid of learning new things.

Oh my gosh. I just found this website that walks you though creating a believable society. It breaks each facet down into individual questions and makes it so simple! It seems really helpful for worldbuilding!

I always find it funny when people write bdsm erotica where the dom is really aggressive and demanding and the sub is all sweet and innocent when I feel like more often than not the dynamic is a sub who asks for the most insane, out of pocket, dangerous, borderline illegal, unhinged shit and a dom who's like "hmmm ok yeah maybe we can scale that back a bit"

a feel like the new generation of fanfic readers NEED to understand that clicking on a fic (interaction) does nothing. ao3 has no algorithm. your private discord discussions of fic do not reach the authors. if you do not actively engage with writers they will stop posting. this isn’t social media this is community.

you know those two examples i gave? right... just kidding.
erik lehnsherr is taking a break after his most recent film, [REDACTED]. his career has been going pretty steady, but this movie gives a new life to it.
he gets recognized when he's out running errands. his followers have hit the upper hundred-thousands.
he did the press thing, he did the paparazzi spotting thing, he did the (fake) dating scandal thing.
he's taking a break. he visits his mother in new york. she's absolutely thrilled to have him home. and... oh, you know. it would be so nice to see one of those shows on broadway, right?
well. erik and edie have something in common. and that is their love for charles xavier.
edie? well. he's such a nice young man. the group of ladies she goes out with absolutely adore him. their joy is infectious and she can't help hoping to see a cute engagement from him soon.
erik? he has an insane crush on the man. absolutely nobody knows. not even his own mother, who introduced him to the joys of mister charles xavier from broadway. it's a secret he keeps close to his heart, next to him being queer.
hear me out.
erik lehnsherr, an actor on the big screen. he’s in movies.
charles xavier, an actor on the stage. sometimes on broadway, sometimes on london’s west end.
they live in different acting worlds but for whatever reason, they end up meeting for a project.
maybe the show that charles is working on is getting a movie adaption or erik needs to observe a theatre troupe for his newest film.
they both have respect for one another’s art forms but there’s always a small, teasing debate about what’s better. they’re absolutely enamored and want to fight (foreplay) immediately.
also, to have powers or not to have powers? this is the question.

do you think that a certain genre of queer person is so obsessively weird about pride flag discourse becuase their flags fill the gaping hole in their personality where a hogwarts house used to be

okay so if you need more veggies/fruit, protein or fibre (bc most people do NOT eat enough) in your diet but you struggle to do so, hear me out:
look up recipes (especially snack recipes) that are child/toddler/baby-friendly
i can guarantee there is a woman with a cooking blog out there who has found away to pack a bunch of vegetables into a surprisingly delicious little snack for her kids. this process has never failed me when i feel like i am not eating enough fruits and veggies. my entire flat is eating spinach muffins at the moment, which doesn’t sounding particularly appealing to most people and yet somehow. they’re delicious.

having anti punitive justice morals sucks because you want to say "man that guy sucks he should get hit with hammers until he dies" but you also want to make it clear you don't think anyone should be put in charge of the 'hit people with hammers until they die" machine.
