guys i’m such a slut for x men worldbuilding like.. here are some things
mutant pride parades. mutants who are less scared getting together and celebrating each other and themselves. going through town not shunning who they are. the police decided not to provide them protection so some mutants with strength-based powers being the police for a day
mutant hashtags on twitter. #magnetowasright followed by #cyclopswasright. bitchy humans using #notallhumans. like, i guarantee there’s like a couple humans that absolutely NEED to comment on every tweet that could be viewed as anti human like ‘well u dont need to take it that far,,, most humans are really cool with u guys, i think ur being a little unnecessary’
mutant singers writing song abt life as a mutant. the violence u face as one, finding another mutant who’s perfect for u. i can guarantee there’s a couple abt using ur powers for the first time- some really bright and bubbly and happy and some more emotional and abt that ‘realizing u could never be normal again’ moment.
mutants making posts on tumblr abt the struggle and then a human commenting smth like ‘i’m not a mutant, but i totally feel this!’. #blocked.
police brutality against mutants left and right. little to none of it gets on the news and it makes the more active mutants furious and the less active ones heartbroken
imagine the graffiti.
human passing mutant kids in school speaking out abt mutant issues a little too passionately and then not raising their hands for a few days bc they can’t expose themselves
mutants coming out to their parents after causing an explosion in gym class and being told to ‘go up to your room, me and your mom need to have a talk about what to do’
mutants accidentally showing their powers in school(a teacher knocks a stack of papers off the desk and the quiet girl who sits at the back of the class stops them before they hit the ground. some upperclassmen are bullying a member of the field hockey team and her captain stands in front of her and - are her fists on fire?) and then finding other mutants in the school who are in awe, or glad to have friends
