indie LORNA/POLARIS.

Hello lovelies! I’m Vada, 30, she/they. I operate outta EST.  Welcome to my indie mutuals-only blog for LORNA DANE a.k.a. POLARIS. She’s inspired by the X-men cinematic universe, Marvel’s Earth-616 comics, and the Wolverine and the X-men cartoon, but is ultimately a reimaging by me based on what is most fun for me to write. You can also find me @fangedscience.

*blog is still being set up, verses are coming soon.

It didn’t take a touch of powers to see that the green-haired mutant was not feeling her best. Choosing to disappear at the first opportunity Lorna could find, Kwannon ducked out soon after. She knew what it was like to hide one’s emotions from others, especially in a place like this, so that they couldn’t be used against her. “It is. The colour of the bloom goes well with your hair.” Hands extracted, Kwannon maintained her distance, not wanting the other to feel as if her personal bubble was being punctured. “You’re upset about something…” More of a statement and less of a question.

“Well yeah,” The words were bubbling forth before Lorna could even make the conscious decision to be emotionally avoidant, “Someone switched out my coffee with decaf this morning.”

The need to make herself more palatable for others had been pounded into her over the years and this brand of caustic humor had always gotten her further than revealing the truths of her bleeding heart ever had. She was trying to break that conditioning, trying to rid herself of that armor and rebuild herself the way she’d been at the start, but old habits die hard.

“You can’t come back from that. It ruins the whole day.” She shrugged her shoulders.

❝  i dunno why i can do these things.  i figure i might as well do something with them that matters.  ❞

❝  i must have these abilities for a reason right?  ❞

❝  i don’t believe in that destiny bullshit.  but i do know i shouldn’t waste what i’ve been given.  ❞

❝  why does everyone expect me to be a hero just because i have some powers i didn’t ask for?  ❞

❝  they’re mine.  i get to decide what to do with them.  ❞

❝  i’m still a person!  they all look at me like i’m some intangible being who will save them.  i’m just one person.  ❞

❝  i can’t do this on my own.  i need help.  ❞

❝  i’m okay—  it just tires me out sometimes.  ❞

❝  get back!  i could hurt you.  ❞

❝  i could’ve killed you!  ❞

❝  i’m sorry…i didn’t mean for any of this to happen. ❞

❝  i was only trying to help.  ❞

❝  i tried to stay out of it but…you don’t understand what it’s like to have the ability to make things different.  it’s impossible to sit back and do nothing.  ❞

❝  i did nothing before and people died.  ❞

❝  last time i tried to help i just made shit worse.  ❞

❝  i thought this was a gift but all i do is hurt people.  ❞

❝  i can help—  let me help.  ❞

❝  please say something if you keep staring at me like i grew a second head i’m gonna throw up.  ❞

❝  i don’t know what or who i am without this.  ❞

❝  if i didn’t have my gifts,  no one would care about me.  ❞

❝  i’m not a hero.  i can just do things and sometimes i wish i couldn’t.  ❞

❝  i know to other people it’s like,  comic book type shit.  to me it’s just normal.  it’s like being able to smell and hear.  it’s just part of me and i just want other people to see it like that too.  ❞

the observer

❝  you have to stop,  you’re killing yourself!  ❞

❝  that’s enough.  ❞

❝  you’re only making things worse.  ❞

❝  you need to rest.  you’ve done more than enough.  ❞

❝  we can take it from here.  ❞

❝  you did good.  now you need to recuperate.   ❞

❝  i hate to ask…but we could really use your help.  ❞

❝  i don’t need your help.  i don’t want it—  not from someone like you.  ❞

❝  you almost got yourself killed.  ❞

❝  you were out of control.  you almost killed me.  ❞

❝  no,  sit back down.  you need to rest.  ❞

❝  you pushed yourself too hard.  you passed out,  i thought you were dead.  ❞

❝  holy shit— that was amazing?!  ❞

❝  it must be an awful burden to bear such gifts.  ❞

❝  just because you can,  doesn’t mean it should have to be you.  ❞

❝  look—  i get it.  it’s a lot of responsibility and everyone always wants something from you.  but you have these gifts.  and we don’t.  and it’s real shitty to hear you complaining about it while the rest of us are powerless every time someone we love gets hurt.  ❞

❝  i’m not here to ask you for anything.  i just wanted to make sure you’re okay.  ❞

❝  you’re always trying to save everyone.  who takes care of you?  ❞

❝  i’m taking care of you because no one else does.  ❞

❝  you have to slow down and take care of yourself too.  if you run yourself into the ground then you’re not gonna be helping anyone.  ❞

❝  don’t be a fucking martyr.  the world can function without you for a day.  ❞

❝  stop showing off.  ❞

❝  that was really stupid of you.  but thanks for helping.  ❞

❝  i care about you.  not your abilities.  ❞

Lorna blinked, feeling like the air had been sucked out of her lungs, and it takes her a second to realize what’s happened. Her immediate response is to punch Pietro‘s shoulder, “You know I hate when you do that!”

[magneticmutant]

interactions i need in no particular order:

surrogate mom figure to show lorna some much needed tough love; a dynamic that’s rocky and argumentative, because they wouldn’t see eye-to-eye a lot of the time, but would ultimately be filled with a lot of love.

speaking of, ALL the familial interactions!!! seriously, gimme!!!

someone younger than lorna who she more or less adopts. she won’t try to tell them how to live their life, but fuck if she wouldn’t use the full brunt force of her rage to ensure that they could live it however they damn well pleased, for better or worse. lorna’s not conventionally maternal but in her own way she’d be nurturing as heck and probably drive them crazy. 

more excuses to showcase lorna’s mutant rights or mutant fights side!

ships. someone love her down immediately! she has heartache and sweet longing to offer in return. gimme the bad boy (muse doesn’t have to be a boy, i just mean the trope, look you get it) that fuels lorna’s poorer life choices and bad habits, gimme soulmates that just can’t seem to make it work but also can’t quit each other (why haven’t i been able to find any active alexs hmm??), give me someone being jealous of lorna’s silly schoolgirl crush on dazzler! just gimme ships, my guys!

Lorna grinned and the expression came across as slightly mischievous but entirely full of mirth. The truth was that the mutant just didn’t want to be alone. Being alone meant she’d start thinking about regrets and unfortunately those were a hell of a lot more nefarious than gluing things together. She needed distraction and if ridiculous, mostly empty threats were how she got it, then so be it. 

“If I were to kidnap a puppy, no one would be getting it back.” She announced matter-of-factly, “That puppy would be mine for life!” Not that she had any plans to steal any pets any time soon, “But noted. If I want to get your attention, I just have to abduct someone. Easy.” Lorna chuckled, shaking her head to show she was only joking as she called on her powers to levitate herself into the air. 

Her grin turned more mischievous at the mention of trouble, “Now that sounds promising...”

DO-WAH DIDDY,

Pssttt, I’m lurkin’. Gonna try and get some replies queued up for tomorrow! I prolly won’t be able to get to them all. but know that I’m super jazzed for every single interaction I have going!!! Thanks for being so patient with my crazy sporadic activity while I’m working on moving, lovelies! 💚

Please don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.

[magneticmutant]

DO-WAH DIDDY,

Hi, lovelies! My sporadic activity is going to be more long-term than anticipated as my other half and I are actually working on moving! Which we are super excited about, but means I’ll probably be staying away from the dash a lot to focus on cleaning and packing with little bursts of activity here and there!

@magneticmutant sent in ❛ they made you into a weapon, and told you to find peace. ❜ (from some meme I’m too lazy to find)

   Shoulders roll in a gentle shrug, mostly unconcerned by Lorna’s words. His past is something Erik made peace with years ago; while he is (and always will be) a weapon, he also has the kind of peace he would never have dreamed of finding during all those years of grief and fury.

   “People are like that,” he finally responds, somewhat unhelpfully, “they never change.” Gaze throws an assessing look towards the daughter he, until very recently, had been convinced was better off without him.

Lorna’s eyebrows knitted together as she contemplated what he’d said, idly chewing on her bottom lip. She’s still struggling to reconcile the dissonance between what she’d always been told about him and what she’d come to know herself of the man.

"Yeah,” Lorna agreed after a moment, “Most people are.” Hardly uplifting, but not untrue in her experience. “Most, but not all. That feels like an important distinction...” Part of her worried that she was pestering him, but she couldn’t keep down the urge to continue talking anyway. “Not that it really changes anything, largescale-wise, but still...”

[magneticmutant]

Lorna stilled, focused on Kwannon as she wove the flower into the mutant’s bright green hair. It was an unexpected gesture. From most people, Lorna probably wouldn’t have given it much thought. Coming from someone like Kwannon, it felt weighted in meaning and not like an empty ploy to get Lorna to lighten up and stop being so annoying. She came to the gardens to wallow in her angst. If she was going to feel crappy, she might as well do it somewhere beautiful, right? 

“Thanks,” Her gratitude came out close to a whisper, accompanied by a large smile. “What do you think? Is it pretty?” She asked at her usual volume with a tilt of her head.​​
