Halloween Headcanons:

Thought it might be fun to share how my muses feel about Halloween!

Prime Universe:

James Xavier - James loves holidays but Halloween is one of his favorites. He fully supports indulging in both the imagination and candy for a night. Mutant children (and new parents) deserve a break from the world. He has a lot of fond memories dressing up and playing “space captain,” although in those days the Manor’s population was much smaller. James helps kickstart the yearly Halloween party and decorations and sorts through suitable material (he’s not a fan of the gruesome side of Halloween for various reasons and you won’t see those kinds of decorations.) If some of the older students want to watch those movies that’s fine with him as long as they’re discreet. 

Vivian Lehnsherr (the Ice Queen) - Vivian doesn’t celebrate Halloween. She never did as a child and therefore never developed the habit. The only Holidays on her radar are Christmas and Hanukkah/ traditions related to her father’s heritage.  

Charles Xavier – Charles doesn’t like Halloween. It makes him nervous. There’s a lot going on and half if not most of the students dress up. While some of them are still recognizable some are not and without his powers to reaffirm who they are he ends up anxious. That and that gruesome side of Halloween scares the hell out of him; it’s for him that James keeps a tight lid on that. Charles’ only saving grace during Halloween are the occasional treats he’ll put together/bake. In the not so distant future he’ll enjoy watching his young grandchildren partake in the festivities. 

Professor X – Professor X doesn’t care for holidays either, especially any that might trigger Charles. While he hasn’t made an appearance in sometimes he will still knock on that door in the back of Charles’ mind…just to let him know he’s there if anyone or anything scares him too badly. This of course only adds to Charles’ anxiety. 

David Xavier – As a child David loves Halloween. His parents are very enthusiastic about holidays, to the point they sometimes embarrass him. As the adult Time Lord Victorious Halloween gets lost along with many of David’s human memories. He knows of holidays from an outsider’s perspective but celebrating himself doesn’t register.

Blake Summers – Blake doesn’t much like Holidays. He wants to but he’s always held back from celebrating the way he wants to. Anxiety and fear influence most of his decisions—not like Charles but enough he still keeps a safe distance. He doesn’t want to hurt anyone or burn anything by mistake. 

Doppelganger Universe:

James Darkholme – Just like his Prime Universe counterpart James loves holidays and Halloween is no different. That said he’s more embarrassed about voicing his enthusiasm for it, especially around his coworkers. James has a certain image of himself he wants to maintain and tends to get stuck in that mindset. He still sees himself as a kid who has to prove he’s serious and that can get in the way of having fun.

Vivian Lehnsherr – Vivian doesn’t hold much of an opinion about Halloween unless she’s on a mission. It’s harder to identify mutants from humans when everyone’s in costume and it’s really annoying. Like the Ice Queen this version of Vivian never celebrated smaller holidays growing up so she never developed an affinity for them.

Charles Xavier – This version of Charles hates Halloween, possibly more than his Prime Universe counterpart. Too many people out and about in costume, too many awful movies and images everywhere – it causes severe anxiety. If he’s in or nearby a shelter there may be a low-key party with low-key decorations and that’s not so bad…but any violent imagery digs deep into his brain and he’ll usually end up drinking heavily alone/at home. The candy’s not so bad though.

Blake Summers – so this version of Blake doesn’t mind Halloween. He doesn’t celebrate but it’s easier to blend in during covert missions for the Morlocks. He understands Vivian’s frustrations but why not make it work for them?

Will (Wyl) Darkholme – I’m still getting to know Wyl as a character but I think she loves Halloween as a child. Her shapeshifting powers mean her “costumes” are of the best quality. In her teenage years she loses some of that enthusiasm due to her powers (and also being a teenager): what’s the point of dressing up once a year? She can shapeshift any time she wants.

I think seeing alien costumes bother her a little too as she gets older. They were fun and silly as a kid but why don’t people consider aliens really exist??? That’s not very considerate.

Second Chances:

Charles Xavier/Lehnsherr– Halloween still makes this version of Charles nervous. That said he’s found a way to enjoy the holiday for the first time in years. It’s a lot of fun to watch his youngest child get excited about it and how his eldest encourages this enthusiasm. He regrets the childhood she didn’t have; helping her younger sister in turn helps her experience things she hasn’t before. He’ll take lots of pictures that he’ll either frame or put into photo albums.

Charles doesn’t trick-or-treat and he doesn’t answer the door; he’ll leave that to Erik and sometimes X. What he will do is throw himself into baking so by the time his children return their house smells of cinnamon, pumpkin spice and chocolate. Charles adores baking and holiday treats are especially fun.

X – X doesn’t love Halloween for similar reasons Charles’ doesn’t. His apprehensions primarily revolve around Charles actually although the gruesome and violent side make him anxious as well. He also cares less for people than Charles and Erik and after a point is barred from answering the door.

He learns to appreciate Halloween after Gwen is born. She so enjoys it and watching her light up warms his heart. She’s his baby girl and he’ll do anything for her…except trick-or-treat. He leaves that to her siblings.

Vivian Lehnsherr– Like X Vivian learns to appreciate Halloween through her youngest sister. As stated before her guarded childhood didn’t allow for certain holiday celebrations. Gwen doesn’t have such restrictions and Vivian isn’t about to share her disinterest in the holiday. In fact, she often finds herself dressing up along with Gwen, often in matching or complimentary costumes. It brings her little sister such joy, she just can’t take that away.

Plus, Vivian sees herself as a role-model and example for her other sisters: they’ve had such a hard childhood, why not take a break for a night and have fun? (She won’t admit to this but that’s besides the point.)

Guinevere Xavier/Lehnsherr – Guinevere/Gwen loves Halloween. She’s the only member of the Xavier/Lehnsherr family who hasn’t experienced childhood hardship. Like most children she looks forward to dressing up and trick-or-treating every year, especially if big sister Vivian goes with her. After a point she expects Vivian to dress up as well- it’s what they do! They’re sisters after all.

Gwen does sometimes wish her dads would trick-or-treat with them but Papa Charles always has something delicious waiting when they come back so it’s okay.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (ALL the muses!)

For each “⭐️” I get, I’ll write a headcanon about our muses.

Charles - I think I hinted at this before but I want to believe Erik made at least Charles’ wedding ring. This was in part for the intimacy of the gesture but also so he’d always be able to locate Charles - and he tells Charles this. Charles is more than okay with it: yes he’ll grow so much stronger than where he is now but that’s still a very long stretch of conditioned fear and helplessness. It’s reassuring to know your husband will almost certainly rescue you if you need it.

X - There’s a part of me that headcanons X knew he was “pregnant” and that’s why he shut himself down for a while…which makes it all the more stranger that he’s half-insisting he resents Erik for a while for not-knowing. X if you don’t speak up how is he going to know he can’t see your projected form unless you show him.Really though it’s mostly anxiety and resentment for essentially getting psychically“knocked up” that he stops communicating. 

Vivian - I’d like to think Erik takes it upon himself to help her refine and grow her abilities. Vivian tends to use her ice powers with physical force behind them - usual response is “I’m going to break it with my (ice) fist” XD While I’m sure Erik sees potential in that it wouldn’t surprise me if he takes note of moments she’ll manipulate the ice differently: making small snow flurries for her sister or cooling her hand to help with a fever - she doesn’t think much about these gestures but a good talk and demonstration of range ought to open her eyes.

David - David is very interested in very confused by the powerful bond Erik shares with his grandfather. For a man obsessed with mortality vs immortality he has a hard time grappling with this powerful love. How can two people just simply be enough for a fulfilling and satisfying life? He literally doesn’t understand it…but he walks between the lines of madness so maybe that’s why…

Gwen (for fun!) - Gwen absolutely loves her nickname. She’ll often sound it out whenever there are strawberries on the table with a very series face, then look to Papa Erik to see if she pronounced it right.

The Ice Queen (also for fun) - After struggling to digest the shock that is her father’s return I think Vivian remains on eggshells for a while. Does she continue on as she has before? Will her followers remain true or flock to her father? What about Azazel and Caliban? Does she even want Magneto at the forefront again? What does her father’s return actually mean for them all? 

More importantly…does it mean she can breathe easier at last? Vivian is many things: powerful, beautiful and terrifying but she isn’t happy. She never wanted this life but didn’t believe in an alternative. Now the rage and heartache fueling her ambition isn’t needed anymore…what should she do?

⭐️ violet and david

Headcanon: David does not consider himself the “Canary” in this relationship xD (he totally is but would better associate with the Red Queen/King if he actively had to choose)

[xmenwickedgame]

//.......David Xavier is the true Time Lord Victorious 8D;;

[xmenwickedgame]

💋 nsfw- James D, James X, Charles, aaaaaand David!

James D - James absolutely loves cheeky and flirty foreplay. There's nothing like connecting with your partner before intimacy~

James X - James is very much a "make love" vs "have sex" kind of person, especially as he's gotten older and lives with a lot of guilt. The emotional connection behind the physical one helps to shut up the trauma in his head: he and Emily are still together, still safe and still building that future they used to talk about when they were young

Charles (doppelganger) - Charles hadn't thought about that kind of intimacy in years, but his temper leads to bad/impulsive decisions (depending on how you look at it.) He hasn't figured out how to separate the two just yet X'D how else would he end up in bed with Magneto after all these years????

David - David is on the asexual spectrum, and because he's strictly a mental/astral being now, tends to value telepathic intimacy as those with physical bodies would anything physical. Similarly to Prime!Charles, it's the closeness, knowing someone inside and out that means the world to him. That said...I think as he and Violet build a life together, he's probably made love to her a few times, although still doesn't understand the difference between the two. Intimacy is intimacy, is it not?

//how funny would it be if Shazam is David’s favorite comic book hero? Even better if a lot of students/his sister insist he look like Billy Batson, but David doesn’t see it😆

"♡""♡" for david

Send me ♡ and I’ll give you a tip for winning my muse’s heart.

For (adult) David Xavier:

1) make him laugh. David doesn’t laugh or smile often as an adult - he’s out of touch with most things actually - but laughter is such a human thing, and such a full body reaction, it would certainly pull him back down to earth, so to speak. Hell, it might also help him get back in touch with himself.

2) be unpredictable. David can see and feel so much of the time stream, it’s hard to stay one step ahead. If you can catch him off-guard and shake up his expectations, you’ll definitely leave an impression. Granted, this only really works after losing touch with time...and the real world...but I’m sure that works in at least one person’s favor😉
