no actually I don’t think I’ll get over the way that gale, from the start, identifies himself with being overly, perhaps disproportionately giving, and the orb then putting him in a place where he is utterly dependent on tav’s generosity and is so prepared to find it lacking at first

My friend never understood my love of Gambit until she saw him in that crop top in X-Men '97. It was like an explosion had just taken place behind her eyeballs. She looked at me and in the most serious voice went: "No, listen I fucking get it. I fucking get it now." This is what solidarity is all about.

I was introduced to X-Men (the animated series) and boy is it fun.
This is also the year I got into collecting comics! Hopefully I'll get to draw Hawkman soon because he's probably my fave so far (the series by Venditti and Hitch is awesome for someone, like me, who knew nothing of Hawkman's backstory or jazz lol.
ANYWHO, back to the drawing, Gambit! I first liked his ability almost purely because it was purple, but the character himself started growing on me too! Definitely a challenging outfit that I'd like to give a shot again someday.

I have so many thoughts about Kingsley and Fjord and I played myself by nestling them into the second book — where everything is extremely complex and sad — and where those thoughts couldn’t be as central to the piece.
But I think even while wearing his boots, Fjord clears Kingsley height wise by like half an inch and it bothers King a lot, though he’d never say it. I think often about what Taliesin said about how much Kingsley enjoys being better at Fjord’s job than Fjord is, but nevertheless only ever refers to him as Captain. I think about how people said plenty about Kingsley poaching Fjord’s crew when he leaves — how long do you reckon they’d stay?
I think about Kingsley as a captain years later and with more experience under his belt, repeating things to crewmen that Fjord once said to him at least a little bit to get him to shut up, and having to go stare at a wall about it.
In other words, I think about how we’re all doomed to become our parents a little bit — and how Kingsley actually has those.
