How to read X-Men?

For the dear X-Men fans that came in through 97 (or the movies) and are confused as to where to start the comics! Don't let the internet fool you, there is only one way and it is by starting with Giant size X-Men #1 (1975). No I am not kidding, it truly is the only right way to get the full story😭 (unless you want to go ALL THE WAY to 1963, I don't necessarily think it's that vital)

This is me trying to keep ppl from making the same mistake I did, starting with wheadon's astonishing X-Men ☠️

Here is a very useful pic of what to read next 💞 good luck!

This is to get ALL the context and major story arcs still referenced today. So I believe it to be vital for the other eras. (I don't know how you can fully understand jean and Scott's relationship today without having read inferno or dark phoenix for example)

Now, If you just wanna read for one specific character, that's a different story! Character specific reading guides that concentrate on the important issues across time exist! Look for those they're very useful <3

“They finally made this theme more blatant-" Why does it need to be blatant. What's wrong with subtlety? Concepts can be underused but subtlety is not neglect.

Blaring all your concepts and themes is not good writing. It's so disruptive to a story's flow when the characters look off the screen to be like "See? This is the concept. The idea. The theme."

If you can feel the hand of the author becoming too heavy that's bad.

For example: I see people saying Azula's abuse in ATLA is more blatant in the live action and it's good because "it's being discussed more". It already was discussed at length. The show made it clear she was a victim at every turn, every behavior, every reaction, it came from a place of trauma. It was made clear that she was scared of ending up like Zuko because Zuko was an example of what would happen to her if she failed. When she says she's better than Zuko it wasn't just because she was raised to think hersef superior to him but because Zuko failed and failures get mutilated and exiled, failures are abandoned. In that final Agni Kai the music is morose and somber because this isnt some epic battle its a fucking tragedy, the burning out of "Ozai's brightest light" and Azula finally succumbing to her terror and trauma she was repressing now that her worst fears are realized. How can you see a fourteen year old girl chained to a sewer grate wailing and writhing and breathing fire desperately as unsympathetic? Even Katara and Zuko are horrified as to what has become of her.

The writers weren't looking us in the eye and saying "See? She's a victim too" when they wrote this, they weaved it in. They weaved it into her obsesison with symmetry, her extreme perfectionism, the way she talks about Ozai, the ways she calls herself a monster, her isolation from those with healthy home lives, all the ways she held herself together and ultimately all the cracks and seams that she shattered down when she fell apart. It did not need to be blatant to be clear.

I am aware I said i wasnt gonna post my zelda 2.0 redesigns until i finished them all, but considering these have been sitting for nearly a year at this point (and may have been mucked by the new game coming out soon but who knows) I figured I might as well start sharing them.

But yes Links are included this round, some have funny pages, I promise i’m using the magazine/game manual pink dress zelda, just probably not where you’re thinking

Recipe #4 – Two Pies and some nuts

Marvel: Does anyone want a pie?

Flash running in from the farthest part of the watchtower.

Marvel: Does anyone else want a pie?

Flash comes again.

Marvel: I caught the doppelgänger!

All the League members gather around Marvel and one Flash trapped in a magical bubble.

Hal: How did you know which one was the real Flash?

Marvel: Our Barry is allergic to magical nuts! Taking advantage of the fact that I had a coupon for two Costco pies and some magical nuts from my last batch of cookies, it was a piece of cake to set a trap for the Roadrunner.

Some laughed, but Hal and Batman did not.

Hal: Cap... where is our Barry?

Marvel: In the infirmary. He’ll wake up when the magical anaphylactic shock wears off in six to seven weeks... or days. Yes, let’s hope for seven days!

The Everything Shower

01. Pre-Shower

For an everything shower go from top (hair) to bottom (body). Do some prep before getting into the shower.

1: massage the roots of your hair with hair oil.

2: use hairmask on the ends of your hair.

3: clip your hair up and let it sit.

02. Shower

Shower time - get in and wash your hairmask off.

1: shampoo the scalp.

2: condition the ends of your hair.

Use a scalp massager while wasing your hair.

Wash your body with gentle soap, then exfoliate with a sea salt body scrub. Scrubbing before shaving helps get a closer, cleaner shave.

03. After shower

Put a soft fresh robe on, get cozy and move on to the after shower care - do your nails and don't forget to use nourishing oil afterwards.

Scrubbing and shaving might leave your skin sensitive and bare - use a moisturising cream.You can go for a high-end branded product, or you can go for the best stuff - baby products.Mom's best-kept secret. Do your facial skincare at this step.

Finally, change into fresh pyjamas and set the right atmosphere. Enjoy!

Recipe #2 – To Bring Out the Best in Oneself └┴┐└┴┐└┴┐└┴┐ (Billy Batson's Magical Recipe Guide for Healing Almost Everything)

Shayera: Cap, we’re in position—are you coming?

Marvel: Sure! Give me a few minutes while I fix something...

The red marker was sliding erratically across the bound old scrolls: “literally extracts everything” right below “a pinch?”

Shayera: Is everything okay, Cap?

Marvel: Ah, it’s nothing. I just bottled Barry’s soul in this little bottle.

The slight shaking of the bottle before Shayera left her breathless.

Marvel: I’m looking for a recipe to put it back into him.

With a subtle juggling motion, the little bottle was handed to Shayera, who tensed up and held her breath... Was she holding Barry’s soul?!

Marvel: The proportions and effects aren’t well specified! What would you think if someone described it as 'a generous pinch'? It’d definitely mean one or two tiny pinches—not a whole fist!

Another scribble in the grand golden book.

Marvel: Because look at it! It extracted far too much essence! You know, this morning I was supposed to whip up a simple recipe to bring out the best in a person, but that pinch of life dust caused this minor problem. These ancient wizards were far too careless—they didn’t mention in the instructions that it extracts souls if mixed wrong! I’ve said it before, but if I hadn’t added more cosmic dust, I’d have ended up with another bottle holding his spirit. *He lowered his voice as he flipped through page after page.* So now I’m searching for another recipe to put it back in.

...

Marvel: By any chance, you wouldn’t happen to know how to spell “reinsert” in ancient Aramaic, would you?

Shayera: No... sorry, Captain. That’s definitely a bit beyond the reach of my reincarnations.

Marvel: Heavens! Do you think Vandal Savage might know how?

Shayera: Ehmm, I don’t think it’s a good idea to ask a villain about it, Cap...

Marvel: I know, but I don’t know many living people who have learned that language.
