♦ What was a mildly annoying thing that has happened to you rp wise?
finding out i'm not meshing with someone after we already started writing / interacting ic. reasons range from not being compatible in writing, to not having a compatible outlook on empathy and respect.
warren, what's your favorite memory with (or about) freeze girl?
@freezegirl
"When she took my hand at prom. I realized she wasn't around me to use me like Layla did, to make someone else jealous. She wasn't pretending. She really liked holding my hand and looked at me doing so, not at someone else to see their reaction."
It made him feel wanted, cared about, and swelled his heart to think at that moment of realization, that Khi and he were on the same page, and wanted to actually be around each other no matter what form the relationship took.
🏳️🌈 - Emma
🏳️🌈 - Maxine
🏳️🌈 - Cassie
Send 🏳️🌈 + A muse to get a headcanon about a facet of their queer identity
Emma:
I'm gonna be for fucking real, she has never done much for the queer community. Emma at her core used to be a deeply selfish individual, was molded that way by circumstances and her familial roots. Her (gay) brother was her only support in the family and she betrayed him/never looked for him when winston sent him to "therapy". She was never involved in the community much either. Sebby and her are both bi, yet during the HFC days they remained distant from their oppressed communities (both queer & mutant). After Fitzroy killed her Hellions, she got into helping the mutant cause (Generation X), but we never see her get into helping powerless queer folks.
Maxine:
Maxine is an equal opportunity omnisexual. If she thinks you're hot, and you think she's hot? She's gonna be all over you. (You being a character in this example). She's not aro but she can do the no strings attached entanglements when she wanna (except with Cole).
Cassie:
She's such a disaster bisexual on so many levels. Messy, indecisive, foul-mouthed. I honestly think she is polyamorous, but she's stuck in the normative thought pattern that love is between 2 ppl and not more. Like, she broke up with Margaret to be with Sam, despite having feelings for both of them.
is the emma* running this blog scary to you
[confident] no!
[shifty] nooooo
[avoiding eye contact] no?
[going nonverbal due to being scared]
emma option coz i'm not waiting 24 hours to check results :p
note: *the emma running this blog is in no shape or form alike to the notorious emma grace frost that they roleplay at times.

this is me fighting against writer's block if you even care (i know u do)
wish me luck: i see a new psychiatrist tomorrow. Gonna ask for a change in my medication (hopefully one with less side effects... especially the temperature regulation thing)
idk how they'll handle my request since i've never seen them before
so explaining my whole medication history and diagnosis path to a new person is gonna be ✨fun ✨
There's something enlightening with actually taking the list of side effects and highlighting everything you experience so that you can show the new doctor these meds are no good for ya.
Like I knew I had lots of side effects.
I didn't think I had this many.

❛ oh great, it's you again. ❜
❛ you? kill me? that's funny. ❜
❛ for being someone you hate, i'm sure on your mind a lot. ❜
❛ you're the last person i wanted to see, actually. ❜
❛ do us both a favor. stay away from me. ❜
❛ you really are an asshole, you know that? ❜
❛ i'm the asshole? what does that make you then? ❜
❛ sometimes i think you must hate me. ❜
❛ i thought you said you never wanted to see me again. ❜
❛ if you want me to go, then you have to tell me to leave. ❜
❛ well, someone's cranky today. ❜
❛ well, someone needs to shut the fuck up. ❜
❛ just stay out of my way. ❜
❛ of all the idiots in the world, i'm stuck with you. ❜
❛ what is it you want this time? ❜
❛ sometimes i wonder if you're in love with me. ❜
❛ do you honestly think this is easy for me? ❜
❛ why would i ever want to be friends with you? ❜
❛ can we please just talk? ❜
❛ there is nothing for us to talk about. ❜
❛ you can yell at me later. just let me help you. ❜
❛ touch me, and you're dead. ❜
❛ oh, so now you care? ❜
❛ there is something deeply wrong with you. ❜
❛ i know i'm the last person you probably want to see, but... ❜
❛ you don't think we could be friends, do you? ❜
❛ i'm tired of fighting against you. ❜
❛ don't pretend you give a shit about me. ❜
❛ you're an idiot, but... i trust you. ❜
❛ oh, don't be cute. ❜
❛ wait, did you just say that i'm cute? ❜
❛ we're not good for each other. ❜
❛ if i say yes, will you shut up? ❜
❛ don't you have to be stupid somewhere else? ❜
❛ maybe we should kiss just to break the tension. ❜
❛ i'm sorry i can't turn off my feelings as easily as you. ❜
❛ maybe there's a universe out there where we're friends. ❜
❛ how can you be so smart yet so dumb at the same time? ❜
❛ don't think this changes anything between us. ❜
❛ you look ridiculous in that outfit, by the way. ❜
❛ if you die, i'll kill you. ❜
❛ is that a challenge? ❜
❛ ah, so you're not heartless after all. ❜
❛ i don't think i've ever seen you smile. ❜
❛ you never cared about me, so why now? ❜
❛ why didn't you kill me when you had the chance? ❜
❛ i don't even remember why we started fighting. ❜
❛ i don't have time for distractions right now. ❜
❛ you're not as bad as everyone says you are. ❜
❛ enemies make the best lovers, you know. ❜

happy pride month here's gambit blowing up a bunch of transphobes
David leans forwards to get a better look at her book. He gets a single eyeful of the raised title, both in the english alphabet and in braille, and the embossed cover artwork, and David’s face instantly twists in disgust. He should maybe be kinder with his dislike, but David isn’t one to mince his words. Besides, why the fuck should he let Ruth, someone he considers to be extremely smart, rot her brain with thoughtless young adult drivel? Better he introduces her to some science fiction greats. She’ll no doubt thank him for it.
“That’s what’s considered popular?” he asks, his tone incredulous. “That looks mediocre at best. Give me like … ten minutes and we could probably conjure up a novel that is worth reading.”
Sure enough, he’s already rustling up the alters that could help him with this. With his telepath mind David has the kind of eidetic memory that contains a library of every book he’s ever read. Add that to the Weaver’s reality shaping, Echidna’s knowledge of braille and some molecular telekinesis unwillingly given by Jack Wayne and the system is absolutely capable of constructing an entire novel from nothing.
Well, not exactly from nothing. David does rip some pages out of the back of his workbook to serve as the base material. He places them on the table, fully prepared to get lost in his head and the work, when Ruth’s soft voice interrupts with a set of words that demand his full, serious attention.
“Erm … sure,” he says, whatever confidence he had slipping away.
He turns his gaze to Ruth, his own eyes locking with where her eyes should be. He does have a passing thought of, it’s much easier to make eye contact when the other person doesn’t have eyes. But he doesn’t let it linger. Instead, he sits up straighter and clasps his hands before him, taking whatever this is and whatever Ruth has to say very seriously.
"Should entertainment always be gauged by quality? I do not wish, pardon, to antagonize you." Not yet, not yet. They're not meant to be nemeses yet. "But I want fun, thank you. Something that will let me... escape."
Her life is not an easy one, and despite the book looking mediocre in his eyes, it was doing a good job at leading her into a fantasy land where nothing she hated existed.
She reaches over to place her hand atop his, giving him a gentle smile -- she hopes it looks gentle, she cannot practice in front of a mirror, can she? -- and nodding her head. "You don't have to, apologies, try so hard. To be appreciated. To fit in."
His immediate jump into helping find her suitable entertainment tells her everything she needs to know about his own willingness to go to length for people he doesn't even know that well.
Maybe even to the point of forgetting himself, if the futures she has seen are any indication. Forgoing his own shots at happiness, even sacrificing himself, for the greater good.
Or at least, what skewed version of the greater good that was instilled in them by this school.
He worries about her more than anything else. He knows, logically, he doesn't have to, but emotions and logic are very different beasts. She’s his little girl. He's allowed. Even if he wasn’t, he’d do it anyway.
He was never very good at following the rules.
She hugs him, and he lets her, opening his arms to catch her in a tight embrace. ‘Daddy’. He was ‘Daddy’ now. It makes his chest clench in the best way. He’d tear the world apart to be worthy of that title.
“We know, sweetheart.” He says, giving her a squeeze. “We know. It’s okay.” And he pulls back enough to hold her at arms’ length, hands on her shoulders. “Just, don’t forget, what matters most to us is you coming home safe at the end of the day - got it?”
She burrows in her father's arms, and enjoys the moment. While she inherited her reckless side from someone, she could understand his worry and how scared he'd be to lose her.
"I'm always coming home..." she promises. Can she keep that promise? The future will tell, but she intends to keep it with all of her strength and will to live.
She wanna live a long, fruitful life. Find a mate for her pet wolverine, become Wolverine herself maybe, and protect everyone she cares about -- and some folks she doesn't care about too.
She wants to be the worst there is at being a soldier engineered to kill and maim and harm with no regards for human life.

“Thank Christ.” He mumbles around the rim of his drink. It helps, in a way, the back-and-forth they have. Keeps him in the present. Another sip, and he sighs. He opened this can of worms. Time to dump ‘em out.
“Just… Comin’ up on what would’ve been Mariko and my anniversary.” If things had gone different, if things had been better, if he had been faster. “Guess I’m gettin’ caught up in the woulda-coulda-shoulda.”
Oh, there was a lot on his mind, wasn't there? She took a drink, giving herself time to gather some thoughts on the matter. She wasn't really a grief counselor. Or as close a friend to him as some of the x-folks were. She never really joined the X-Men except on the occasional temporary mission that required her.
Or when she had a chip on her shoulder and wanted to kick some butts.
"I'm sorry, Logan. Grief never really goes away, does it?" she didn't have as much life experience as he had, but that truth is one she learned the hard way. "You just live with it until the next time it hits you." She wanted to offer more than common sense platitudes though.
But nothing else was coming to mind at this time.
