Rules: tag 9 people you want to get to know better/catch up with and answer the questions below

Last song: The Carpal Tunnel of Love - Fallout Boy (I picked a great band to be into as someone with Auditory Processing Disorder lol)

Last movie: Shutter Island (I know it has a lot wrong with it, but I love movies that delve into the psyche of their characters. Horror has a lot of capability to provide catharsis for dealing with the messy emotions that a lot of other genres avoid)

Currently reading: The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, & Healing in a Toxic Culture by Gabor Maté and Daniel Maté (I love Dr. Maté's writing; it's very informative and enlightening. I've read his book on ADHD [Scattered] and the one exploring the relationship between autoimmune diseases/chronic illnesses and a person's ability to cope with stress and negativity in their lives [When the Body Says No] )

Three ships: Bullsnikt (I can't help myself; I'm a sucker for enemies to lovers and the romance of being accepted as you are [even if what you are is a remorseless killer])

Akihiro/Aurora/Carl (Akihiro has two hands, Marvel) (Something about someone you spent a lifetime with despite not knowing that was what you wanted/needed is just -chef's kiss- and add in someone who you can relate to and who can love you now... The juxtaposition of past lover and current lover, but make it work)

Jubilee/Laura (they were so cute in the X-23 run I wish they were being written by almost literally anyone other than fuckin Leah Williams right now I've been waiting for them to get back together)

Craving: nothing, currently. Am sick 😷 usually craving spicy foods, though

I LOVE your "Itsu lives" au! I was wondering some things about it though, and if you don't have an answer, that's perfectly fine!!

1: What name do you think Akihiro would have in this au? Since he'd have his bio patents to name him this time sjsjjs

2: How would Laura and Gabby go with them this round?

3: Does Akihiro still pick up costumed fighting sjsjjsjs

I love thinking about how my man's life would have been if he'd had both his parents to raise him .. I'm not crying you're crying

1) I'd still like him to retain a part of his name, if only for the connection to him as a character. I feel like something like Hideaki (meaning "shining excellence") or Hiroshi ("generous")

We know from the bad bad no good What If? Issue that Logan would have named him John, which was his (nonbiological) father's name, so that sort of sentimentality could arise in his name, too. That said, you could technically get away with naming him Jon and have his name mean any number of things based on what katakana you use. That said, if he had to be names after/in honor of a family member, I'd prefer him honor his mom. Itsuki is a fun little play on Itsu's name, and means "tree" 💜

2) I feel like, with Logan having a family to support (we don't know 100% if he would have stuck around in a traditional "father" role, as he was disgraced and told to leave by Itsu's father), his role within Weapon X would have been mitigated to a degree. That said, with them being kicked out of Jasmine falls, and perhaps on the move to flee from Romulus as well, I could see Logan taking his family to Canada or the states to keep them safe. Charles was apparently aware of his existence well before his appearance in Uncanny X-Men, so it's possible that they could have gone to the school for protection.... By the time Laura and Gabby would be in the picture, Itsu would be somewhere in her 90s if not older, and Akihiro in his 70s, but with a vastly different skill set, personality and motivations. Their dynamic would be completely different in a lot of different ways, but I still see Akihiro as someone who would be completely devoted to his family, and the girls 100000000% deserve Itsu someone to spoil them.

3) With his father's guidance, he may have more peace with his powers (Romulus' training was abuse at best, and it's taken Akihiro a lot of time in the comics to come to terms with who and what he is; Logan training him, or having him learn with the other X-Men would have shortened that process, if it didn't eliminate it entirely); I don't know that he would take up costumed fighting immediately, given Logan's propensity toward self-sacrifice (I feel like he'd take on the fighting role so his son wouldn't have to), but once the girls are in the picture, that's what leads him into it. He doesn't want them to have to fight any more or take any more pain, and so he would take up the costume to save them.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk; tune in next week when I share my thoughts on Akihiro's romantic partners/relationships and the themes of loss of self and belonging.

RATTY BIRTHDAY

Thank!

I feel like I don't update enough, but I'm very thankful for all of my mutuals and my followers and anyone who enjoys my content. I figured I'd talk a little bit about whats going on in my little world...

Yes, I've been playing Animal Crossing NL like it's going out of style. It's a real step up from reality on multiple levels. Our new dog, Doc, still needs attention and exercise, though, so we go on walks... Or we did, until I sprained my ankle super bad on the front stairs a week ago (gonna see a doctor about it Friday cause it's still super swollen).

I got my hair stained purple and I love it (I'm probably gonna have to tone it down when school gets started again), and Joseph Ultron (my cat) has been helping me do grades and work on yearbook. Yes, he's smart enough to do that, and yes he's apathetic enough to not make comments(?)

I'm still trying to work on putting my lessons, performance and learning goals, and any visual aids I can make into writing so I can use them and so substitute teachers can use them as they need to (I don't take off often cause I'm a control freak and perfectionist(?))

Idk why I'm even sharing this, but it's Pride month and this month has my birthday in it (the sake and sake cup set are birthday gifts to me... From me.) So I figured why not? Have some life info on this queer content creator! 🖤🤍💟💜

It’s so awesome that you have a horse!!

This is the horse. We've had him since I was 6.

Thank you, btw.

My whole family is from Kentucky (tobacco farmers and moonshine runners), and horses are kind of common (at least where my grandpa and his brother are concerned, uncle Coy has a ranch). As for me and my mom and grandparents, we live on a small, small farm in Hicksville (mid-ohio). We have a garden every year in the summer and we do a lot of southern comfort food (you wouldn't believe how tasty new potatoes and fresh green beans are).

I like where we live (despite the fact that we're deep in red territory), and I like our relatively simple life.
