@metallsinne - I! LOVE! YOU! okay so our rants on discord have helped me develop charles so much. by just yelling about how charles is kind of a douchebag and getting another perspective on him as a character, it helps me better understand how to write him.

He can finish off using his powers and then with a snap of a finger he’s dropped like a rag doll with zero warning. When his powers outgrew him and became too immense for him to control, aged eleven, the fainting started. Ever since he pretty much faints every time he uses his powers for longer than a minute.
The more control he gains over his powers the less he faints. He faints because even though he has this bottomless well of power none of it is getting to his life support, everything is going into the plasma, and it’s starves his body of the energy it needs.
Once the plasma activates, the life support stops.
Charles eventually had Sean and Hank on hand whenever Alex practiced his powers so they could catch him when he fainted, and Alex got in trouble when he practiced alone because good god, Alex, what if you fainted and cracked your head open!
The length of time he spends unconscious varies by how long his body has been deprived of life force. Sometimes its only a few minutes, other times when he’s truly overdone it, Alex has been out for two days unconscious under the glare of Hank’s specially designed lamps. He usually has a window of about ten seconds after stopping plasma use before he faints, but again it varies. He never faints during plasma use, it’s only once he stops, which is how he can make things worse because he’s unaware that he’s pushed his body too far leading to more and more damage.
He has a little celebration whenever he doesn’t faint because it means he’s made progress. Massive progress.
He eventually learns to keep a split stream of power, 90% into the plasma, 10% into his own health and he rarely ever faints after that.
He awoke to the scent of freshly baked apple pie drifting through
the bedroom window. It had been enough to force him out of bed,
now towelling his wet hair and throwing on some decent clothing.
All in time for when he heard a knock at his door, opening it wide
to see Henry.
“ You came! ” He cheered, clapping a hand on his dear friend’s
shoulder and ushering him inside.
Alex: *furiously strumming on a guitar, wrecking it*
Sean: WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY POOR BABY??
Alex: *singing* Youuuuuu let allll my plants DIEEEE, youuuuu LETTT ALLL MY PLANTSS FUCKINNN DIEEE INCLUDINNNGG THE CACTI HOW THE FUCKKKK- *strings break*

It’s a soft thing, gentle at first. Hesitant, even. He’s never kissed Hank before - not that he’s never thought about it - but in the moment, it feels so right.
“Hank,” Charles had said to him. “I can walk. You’re a miracle worker.”
And now he’s on his tip-toes (His tip-toes!) with careful hands resting on Hank’s shoulders as he presses his lips more firmly against the younger man’s. It is instinct to brush a telepathic Thank you against Hank’s mind - not quite remembering at the moment that it will go unheard.
“Oh,” Charles murmurs, a blush dusting his cheeks when he pulls back to see a larger, much more blue Hank McCoy in front of him. Charles’ head had been too dizzy with their kiss to notice the shift and, without his telepathy, he hadn’t know Hank had been enjoying it so much.
Although it’s rather obvious now.
“Well, hello,” Charles smiles, curiously combing his fingertips through the blue fur on Hank’s cheek. He chuckles before remembering Hank hadn’t heard his gratitude.
“Thank you, my friend,” he says and leans up to kiss him again.
