hello I've been thinking about cherik lately (have been for like two months and a half), so i come to yap a bit.

we know that near the very end of first class, erik tells charles “I want you by my side. we want the same thing.” and charles answers with “I'm sorry, but we don't”. after that, erik's face falls and he just leaves, taking raven with him.

fast forward to days of future past, cherik have a discussion in which charles is almost crying when he says “you took the things that mean the most to me”, followed by “you abandoned me! you took her (raven) away and you abandoned me!!”. he's hurt for many reasons, but one of the biggest one being having lost his sister and erik, two of the most important things for him (he says so himself!!). erik's response is an angry “you should've fought harder for them”, meaning “you should've fought harder for ME”. it makes a lot of sense considering erik told him he wanted them to be side by side, and charles answered with a simple “I do not”, just letting him go. they both feel like the other abandoned them, erik by walking away and charles by letting him without even trying to stop him.

and that's reflected in the rest of the movies as well, in those few moments of charles asking “you're sure I can't convince you to stay?” and erik going “you're a psychic charles, you can convince me to do anything” and then walking away. they want to stay together really badly, but besides their different points of view, charles needs erik to CHOOSE to be by his side, not be forced to. erik so willingly walked away that first time, charles needs him to actively choose not to, so he never insists or tries to convince him further because he wants that choice to be genuine. but erik is still waiting for charles to fight for him, to demonstrate he really does want them to be together. after all, charles did just simply say “no, we don't want the same thing” when erik told him he wanted him by his side that first time.

that's all, thank you for coming to my TED talk. like always, they're making me miserable. I'm in pain.

I got the x-men origins: magneto script (thank you wish!!), and I'm gonna post and comment about it😋

I just started reading it, and I'm already feeling things.

“erik's gut-wrenching scream [...]. nearly inhuman.” oh okay.

CHERIK DRAWING WIP!! this is my first time drawing them, and it's been really fun so far.

I have yet to copy it digitally and then paint it, but since I don't really know how to do that it's gonna take a while. it *will* happen, I have my tablet and digital pencil ready, but it's gonna be a tough journey so might as well show this to the public as motivation to not let it die😿

started drawing my mutant-sona (+ a friend's) 🗣️🗣️‼️‼️‼️

he's a teleporter + passive telepath, meaning he can only hear and feel people's thoughts and feelings, as well as project his own and get into other's brains to watch through their eyes and look at their memories.

my friend's an animal shapeshifter and has energy absorption and transmutation; she absorbs energy and then uses it, manipulates it. with it she creates tiny explosive arrows and throws them as if she was throwing cards (yes she did get inspired by gambit).

we stood up till 6 am last night thinking what our appearances would be like, what would our roles be, what kind of relationships would we have with different characters. it was awesome and I'm having a lot of fun.

I LOVE OCS AND SELF INSERTS!!!

Thank you for the tag @wishchip106 🫶🏼

tbh I didn't know I liked this many movies, thought I was gonna have to include series as well (luckily I didn't, I like WAY too many. I'd feel bad for all the ones I wouldn't have been able to add😿).
