Literally anyone interested in James Xavier/Darkholme: So what are you attracted to? What’s your type?

//one of my favorite traits James Xavier has is his stupidly high moral code and the ability to absolutely make the wrong decisions despite this.

Headcanon: James (both)

James can sing pretty well. It isn’t a talent he thinks much about, as theatre/music were never high up among his interests.

That said, James Xavier absolutely sings to himself from time to time, and occasionally gets into playful duets with whoever’s around. Rumor has it he roped Logan into it once, not that the Wolverine will admit it outright.

James Darkholme, on the other hand, has stage fright and only sings in the shower…although I like to think by the time he’s a dad, he’s more open about singing along with his family 💕

James kept all of his retro Star Trek toys. They’re stored in a box in the attic.

James grew up believing Santa Claus was a mutant. It was Sean’s idea.

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.

❗ What do you regret most- Both James.

Second chances:

"I dunno if I regret anything as bad as you're saying, but..." James paused. He rubbed his chin. "Guess I coulda maybe listened to Magneto--er, Erik--while he was still here. Lookin' back, he did help my dad a lot. Maybe if I'd taken that into account, I'd know where they are, now. I know mom misses my dad...should've thought of that as well, I guess." He shrugged. "Gotta take what that guy says with a grain of salt. He still fucked up a lot of my family back in the day."

Prime Universe:

"...I should've done more to save my son."

Doppelganger:

"Uhhh...I dunno. Things've worked out pretty good for me overall. I fit in here a helluva lot more than I ever did back home." There's a pause. James lowered his voice. "I miss my mom sometimes. Logan too. Wish I hadn't been so, y'know, rude I guess back then. Don't get me wrong, I'm not like ostracized or anything, but...visiting's a little awkward. I don't really like going back much now."
