Rambling below cut, I'm cringe, proceed at your own risk

I felt emboldened to write this bc A) I've been trying not to slip into a manic EP and B) was emboldened by a fellow blogger who wrote abt something similar.

Confession time: I've really never understood the concept of kinning a character. Like yes I've had characters I can relate to I suppose. But never someone who I was like. Yes that's me.

Until I found The Wolverine™ and the clouds parted and the heavenly light shone down upon me as angels sang to me sweetly.

I watched wolverine:origins when I was much younger, but it wasn't until after DP3 that I was really like yeah let me go watch all the Xmen movies. Part of it is also that I am so incredibly down bad for both Wade and Logan, like I have brainrot, I have consumed poolverine media in some shape or form almost everyday for months now.

I havent had a fandom become this much of an interest in a long time. The last time was in 2016 with Voltron. (God y'all remember that shit? That was the good ol days. Truly the golden age of Tumblr and fandom) anyways, I've been obsessed, and the interest hasn't wavered. Usually I would have gotten bored with a fandom or ship after a couple months. But these characters...

Another thing that sets it apart, usually, I tend to daydream about an original character or self insert interacting with this world or these characters. I love creating a storyline to fit myself into the world. I enjoy thinking of how these characters would react to my OC.

But that's changed, where I find myself easily seeing myself as Logan when reading fics or thinking up scenarios.

I think there's multiple reasons why I enjoy putting myself in this characters place so much.

1) I relate the the concept of being a grumpy old man / lone wolf type.

in the sense of, I don't understand computers well. I'm an introvert. I generally don't have many friends. I have said on multiple occasions I wish I could go just live in the woods. Like I think I could make it, genuinely lol. I've also had people assume I'm older than I actually am. Something about the way I carry myself. And old people love that, because I guess they perceive it as me being more respectful towards them.

2) this is more fanon. But. Every fic I've read with Logan as a transman. I just relate so much. I also headcanon Logan looking more like he does in the comics, shorter, like 5'8 instead of 6ft like in the movies. I also think he would have a little more of a stomach, a higher body fat percentage than Hugh Jackman has lol. Also in the comics they usually draw him as real hairy which I love. This interpretation of Logan as average height, bigger, hairier, just makes him so much more relatable to me as a fat hairy trans man.

3) I kinda could look like Logan, in the sense of. Im a man with short, brown hair, a beard, brown eyes, more body hair. Also,there is so little representation of men who are bigger and hairier. Like I feel like I could never relate to, say an anime character in the same way because it's so unrealistic. I love that so many people find this character attractive for these traits. To see people write about Logan gaining weight and being healthier. Or how part of the attraction is that this man is hairy like a bear lol. It helps me feel better about my body in a way.

2and 3 are kinda the same but

4) The idea of regressing into something feral. I really do not like age regression at all. However you make that up grown man into a puppy? Into a subservient dog? Or alternatively

You make that man into a snarling feral animal? Watch him snap and claw and tear shit up? That does something for me. Like yes in a sexual sense. But also in the sense of. I often feel disconnected ffrom my body or reality. The though of being so entirely in the present moment and so entirely yourself that all you have are your base instincts. It soothes something in me.

The thought that, I could be aty very worst. Either my most helpless, naive, vulnerable, trusting self. Or my most angry and unhinged self. And I could still be loved. And I could still be desired. To think I could express myself fully and be accepted unconditionally has honestly changed my fufking brain chemistry.

Like part of why I'm so invested in this character is I feel like when he's healed, it heals a part of me I wouldn't have been able to otherwise.

Also, I just enjoy how this fandom is not afraid to deal with dark subjects, like violence or even things others would consider gross like gore and body horror. I've even read fics about everything from chronic pain, to sexual assault, gender dysphoria, homophobia, grief, manipulation.

You wrote a fic about piss kink? Weight gain kink? Cannibalism? Okay cool post that shit. Ya know? I really appreciate that it doesn't feel censored here when so many other spaces are losing their edge. Bc God forbid we talk about sex or violence on the internet 🙄

It feels safer to be someone who's experienced difficult things, like I'm not afraid of being judged if everyone else interacting with this stuff is also a freak of some kind ya know?

Anyways. I'm rambling. But if you've read this far, hope you enjoyed my dissertation

Hey there you angel!

If it’s not any trouble, could I get Headcanons of Wade wilson(only if you’re comfortable sharing him in a way!!) and Logan(mainly) with a full on Teddy boy/Greaser s/o??

Like they’re obviously some daemons creation that got dumped on earth(they tell them this upfront) but they’re just....a mess. And in that style! (They them) But they still definitely could kill either of them given the literal fact they’re some daemons experiment. They would be more introverted and charismatic!

Thank you!!!! Love you!!! :)- Cricket

(That gif...kills me.)

*cracks knuckles* okay, i’ll give it a shot! know that i am no expert when it comes to our boy logan, i only watched the original x-men film once and like half a compilation of him from one of the animated series (and like know a minuscule amount about his comic incarnation), so this’ll largely be based on that knowledge. ^^” also i had to look up what a teddy boy was but NEAT!!

Logan w/ a Teddy Boy/Greaser S/o

- I do know this man has worn a leather jacket before so hey maybe you guys can swap store suggestions!

- I also think he’d appreciate the “introverted but charismatic” schtick! Considering how he distances himself from others but has a wit as sharp as his blades it’ll be nice for him to have some back and forth I think

- I feel like he’d find the Teddy Boy style interesting and maybe leave you some gifts related to it, like a new coat or tie, but he wouldn’t do it in a very direct manner

- He may not be the most out-going or trusting, but gain his partnership and he’s loyal to his very core, as long as you are respectful and loyal right back

- You’re a daemon creation? Eh, he’s been through and seen shit so this isn’t too much of a shock for him

- Takes care of you in his own characteristic way; Quiet and often gruff, but you know he means well

- If you catch him in a favorable mood, he might tease you a little about the Greaser aesthetic but not in a mean way! He just hasn’t seen people dress like that in a while is all

Bonus Wade to make up for my lack of familiarity!

- Wade will steal your jacket, and will probably look for a wig too so he can have a matching pompadour if that’s your thing!

- Thinks you’re real hot shit (honestly!) and would definitely fight anyone who criticizes how you present yourself

- Makes jokes in a British accent for the Teddy Boy style

- Loves to go on joy rides with you!

- Will actively listen to any music recommendations you give him

- Respects your introverted nature and loves to trade quips with you

- Does enough talking for the both of you if you don’t feel like socializing at any given moment

- Messes stick together! But don’t expect very solid advice on how to get your shit together (Except for maybe in those rare serious moments he has)

- A daemon AND you have impeccable aesthetic taste? FUCKING AWESOME

- Not necessarily related but expect free food from his taco truck if you want it!

Hope these are sufficient, dear! Have a lovely day/night!
