Got pink highlights in Chrome or a Chrome PC? Solved!

Some people have color problems with Chrome or on their Chrome PC and there are pink highlights or other colors that should not be showing. Here is what is wrong and how to fix the problem.

First off, the the Acolytes obviously have no idea of Xavier’s motives in this. They see it as simply another assault against their by Xavier. Besides Anne Marie, they all figure either he wanted Magneto out of the way but didn’t want to break pacifist ruling (which like, it is, but they don’t realize it isn’t just principles, it’s personal, he and the others do not know about the history and relationship between Magneto and Xavier) or perhaps is hoping to use Magneto’s powers for his own cause. Anne Marie sees it as a deliberate perversion thing by Xavier, like he wanted to just corrupt the purest beacon of hope that mutantkind has to rub it in their face.

On an individual to individual level…

Fabian thinks this is great. He can use Magneto as a martyr to rally cause in his name (“LOOK WHAT THEY DID TO HIM! IT IS WORSE THAN DEATH! THEY COULD NOT EVEN GIVE HIM THAT DIGNITY, TO AT LEAST DIE AS HIMSELF!”) and manipulate the incensed crowd with their anger, giving him power to make them do anything he wants, and he never even needs to bump Magneto off like in the comics, which means never putting himself in danger as the murderer, covering it up, etc. He gets to look blameless in this because he actually is, and he still gets all the benefits that murdering Magneto would have gotten him.

Naturally, this means that he doesn’t WANT Magneto’s mind returned (though he claims to, of course), but he doesn’t need to sabotage the efforts that Anne Marie and the others are making. He knows there’s not telepath in Brotherhood (or on Earth, probably) that can undo something XAVIER did. So he can go on and appear to make every effort at helping captive Magneto recover his memories because he actually *is* making every effort, since he knows there’s no chance of it actually working. He doesn’t have to PRETEND to give it his all, he actually does, and thus he can make that much more of a big production out of it for his audience.

An all without getting his own hands dirty.

The hands his followers are now eating out of in their righteous indignation.

Perfect.

Delgado does see what has been done Magneto as being deeply wrong, and he supports the rescue and recovery efforts, but also feels like the first priority still needs to be protection of mutants en masse. He can’t do anything to help with this, he’s not a psychic, so he just sticks to helping those he can instead. He helped with the abduction itself but he stays out of everything else, so Erik rarely sees him except as guard outside his quarters.

Chrome will be enraged. Free will is such a huge deal to Chrome. He might kill a human politician for the policies they enforce, but he would never be ok with mind-controlling them. Which he actually debates a lot with himself over, because he thinks it’s immoral to NOT do it if it’s what needs to be done for good of mutants but he just has such a knee-jerk reaction to it…anyway, he’s going to be disgusted on a very deep level by this. It’s going to galvanize him against Xavier and X-Men much more than if simply had killed him. And he going to drag Xavier so hard for this. Because Chrome’s other Hot Button is hypocrisy and double standards, which he will see this as. He will demand to know, why just Magneto, huh, why just him? Why not Senator Kelly, why not Graydon Creed, why not the Purifiers, why not the Friends of Humanity, why not every skullbashing bigot in the nation? Why do they all get deemed worthy to keep their brains but magneto the one you decide has to be lobotmized into your little lap pet?

He is going to be NUTS

He is going to be OUT FOR BLOOD

And speaking of nuts…

Anne Marie, oh my god. Just IMAGINE Erik dealing with this person who comes in every day and alternates between religiously reverential and this WEIRD SCARED ANGER LIKE SHE’S SO VISIBLY FREAKED OUT BY HIM BUT ALSO ENRAGED BY HIS EXISTENCE AND SHE’S VIOLENT she doesn’t hit him but she will hit the wall or spontaneously bang her own head on it and she’s doing these psychic barrages to him daily trying to bring him back, talking about how he’s this Savior, this Messiah, how they need him, staring in his face too close with desperate eyes like a thirsty man hallucinating water in the desert, twisting his emotions, forcibly amplifying them to intense degrees trying to bring him back somehow past Charles’s mental blocks, putting him through all these ups and downs as exhausting as any physical torture, all the while screaming about how she’s going to HELP him she’s going to SAVE him just like he’s going to SAVE all of them she has to help them by helping him she has to because he has to get better he has to come back he HAS to and they WILL get through this there WILL be dawn after the darkness—

and then she’s crying because from her POV she’s being asked to basically be the one who saves the Savior, to be responsible for bringing back ALL OF MUTANTKIND because that’s what she equates with Erik, as we’ve been over, this is on her shoulders and if she fails they’re all doomed and it’s so clear she is failing and THIS IS TOO MUCH–

She will TERRIFY him, man

And Fabian, of course, will be there to be the comforting reasonable party who always comes to his rescue when it’s about to be too much.

Just in case Erik ever gets better and remembers all this

Just in case

And maybe…because he likes to watch >3

lengthy magnetic stare of judgement as Erik examines a little jar of manuka honey. whatever the hell the brotherhood food budget is, $30+ on this was not ok, Chrome

oH MY GOD HE’D BE SO IRRITATED

W H Y ARE YOU PEOPLE SO WASTEFUL

[liikkua]

funny you'd mention the overload bc I was thinking this at the gas station then had forgotten by the time I got home: Chrome just turning shit to metal left and right like whatever with no idea Erik FEELS shit through metal and Erik with no idea why he's irate and overstimulated today

oH MY GOD, PLEASE YES. like thankfully he can’t feel pain or pleasure or anything like that through metal because no touch receptors/nerves/whatever, just magnetism, bUT HE CAN STILL FEEL IT COMING INTO EXISTENCE AND MOVING AND SHIT AND IT’S JUST

TOO MUCH UGH W H Y

THERE IS A LOT OF CHROME IN YOUR SUBMIT BOX

I’M SORRY BUT YOU SAID YOU WANTED MORE TIDBITS AND IDK IM IN A MOOD TO TALK ABOUT CHROME? - The only sunglasses he owns are a pair of heart-shaped ones so he can do the stare over them like Kubrick’s Lolita omfg Chrome no - He learned English from movies - He’s the only Acolyte not from Spain (he’s from Croatia, though it wasn’t called Croatia when he was born and raised cuz it was still under Soviet control) - He’ll claw people to pieces defending Fabian IF he doesn’t think what they’re doing is just but if Fabian has actually earned it and Chrome is AWARE of that, he’s fine stepping back and letting him get what’s coming to him. Delgado is like THESE ARE MY BABIES AND THEY CAN BE HORRIBLE STUPID ASSHOLES BUT YOU CAN’T TOUCH THEM (EVEN IF I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU WANT TO) but Chrome has a sense of fairness/justice where he’s like “oh nah bro he earned this one—good luck Fabs!” Like he’d step in if they were really gonna hurt him or something but like if someone wants to criticize or smack Fabian for SOMETHING HE ACTUALLY DID Chrome is fine with that. He knows Fabian is kind of a jerk (kind of? oh chrome honey) it’s why he loves him but he doesn’t think jerks should get off scott free because he loves them either - Chrome just…he’s not MEAN to strangers but he’s not nice either and makes no pretense at it? Like if he has no reason to care about someone he isn’t going to act like their thoughts and feelings matter to him when they DON’T and he says if they think that’s rude then they really need to come to terms with their own ego, if a stranger pretending they’re buddies matters so much to them. He certainly gives no fucks if strangers don’t like him. - This one time in Chat this kid was having a breakdown and Chrome came over and put his hands on the kid’s shoulders and upper arms and SQUEEZED and PUT PRESSURE on him to calm it down and it worked and they had ice cream. He learned that from Fabian because it’s something Fabian does to calm down Anne Marie when she’s super upset. - Chrome also showed this kid a Bakshi film. Chrome no you do not show Bakshi to CHILDREN omfg like Chrome has no fucking sense of age-appropriate censorship I swear to god - He is so, so, so very intellectually defensive of Anne Marie. He knows how different she is and how dismissive people are of her, and he knows this because that’s how HE was when he first joined up. Like he’s a massive intellectual snob to begin with and then when he met someone like Anne Marie who can’t, like, express her beliefs or arguements or anything complex well and just has these rages instead when challenged at length, he just thought she was an IDIOT and was AWFUL to her and now he…he knows her so much better and he loves her so much and he knows she’s of perfectly normal intelligence and he doesn’t think she’s crazy she just works different, so like…he gets SO angry at people patronize her, treat her like a child, or just dismiss her outright as a blind fool or innocent dupe because he knows she’s got so much more going on if you ever actually LISTEN to her and give her a chance to talk without shutting her down. He especially hates people who think she needs to be ‘saved’ from the Acolytes, as if it’s not her own choice to be here, like she’s not capable of choice. Like he CHEWED PEOPLE THE FUCK OUT in Chatzy when they were on this whole thing because he pointed out, you’re all talking about how nuts she is and she’s delusional, but have any of you ever asked what she thinks? No, you haven’t. You heard a few sound bites and decided you knew her exact beliefs, and they’re wrong and she’s wrong and needs your help but you don’t actually value her or what’s in her head. You want to feel like you’re helping her for your OWN smug moral satisfaction. And I can’t comment on whether he’s right about THAT, not my muses, but he is right that in all her time there, no one ever asked HEY ANNE MARIE, WHAT DO YOU THINK/BELIEVE AND WHY? And he knows because, duh, they’re friends and he knows her, he knows if any of Xavier’s lot ever asked about her POV she’d be ecstatic and tell him all about how CHROME THEY WANT TO HEAR THE WORD OF MAGNETO THERE’S HOPE FOR THEM.  http://thecorteztwins.tumblr.com/post/132903809006/just-give-her-some-respect-no-one-else-does-no -  "For all that people call her crazy, none of them even know how crazy some of the stuff she believes is, at least according to their standards, cuz they never asked her about it,“ Chrome says this in the link, but the key is "their standards” cuz…Chrome doesn’t believe she’s crazy. So Anne Marie’s got religious delusions around Magneto? Hey, Magneto is objectively real and actually DONE things that help mutants, if you ask Chrome it’s LESS crazy to worship him than Jesus or whoever else. At least she trusts in a Messiah that’s actually around, that’s here NOW and not just a long time ago MAYBE or ‘coming back but we don’t know when’. Seriously, if everyone else gets to believe in other stuff on faith, why is SHE crazy just cuz she’s a religion of one instead of one billion? It’s all the same objectively, he thinks. He does not SHARE her religious beliefs about Magneto, he’s not religious, but he doesn’t think you can call her nuts either if you aren’t willing to say the same about all religious people.
