I'm absolutely in love with the specialty tails section.
I like to think that Vulcan tails are actually pretty diverse depending on what region they're from. Some have super fluffy tails and others have short stumpy tails. (And maybe Vulcan deities have multiple tails?)
But yes i love this v much and I will absolutely be drawing more Vulcans with tails.
Amanda is very popular, though Amy looking at her friend, but is still human and seems to be falling under another bad boy´s charm. And this makes Amy stop and think for a moment. Was Kurt Wagner ever a bad boy? Sure, he´s German (red flags raised in her mind and she did voice her concern with Amanda. Amy at least is 100% honest about her prejudice with Germany) but other than that, nothing is a bad boy like in his persona.
Well, thought again Amy, he lives with the students of Xavier. Maybe Kurt Wagner is the human-pet of a group of mutants.
Do I hate mutants? Thought again and Amy has nothing negative to say. Amy has nothing positive to say either.
"Amy, are you still here?" Amanda asked amused as her friend was out looking at the wall and didn´t hear one thing Amanda was saying, which, should have infuriating Amanda...but it didn´t it. Amy always spaces out from time to time.
"Yeah, still here. You´re saying something about Lance, right?" Amy asked unsurely and Amanda nods proudly for Amy have paid attention to her plan, even if she may just get the basic of the basic. " Something about him and Kitty being over and needs to go back together, right?"
"Yes, but...how I made them go back together?" is a very troublesome situation and Info-chan refuses to cooperate anymore for some reason and well, Amanda wants to achieve this without her help.
"Well, why you don´t go talk to Lance? Maybe he can help...maybe he wants Kitty back" Amy offers as a solution. Is not a brilliant and miraculous plot device as Amanda was hoping, but, is the best she can offer, after all, what exactly can be done in this situation?
I think she´s chasing after the wrong boy...Kurt is not good for her. He´s German and ....she deserves better.
Kurt Wagner was recalling the moments he spends with Kitty- she made some solid questions and Kurt may be grateful to Prof X, but, in the end, there´s a bit of doubt in his mind about Prof X´s ideas- and now Kurt has lots of thinking to do.
She´s really smart. And a smile twist in his normal lips. No blue. Just a regular human skin. And that makes me like her even more.
But...why we fought against mutants if we´re mutants? Is a question that makes Kurt look at the Brotherhood.
What type of life they all had? What´s the difference among us and can we truly co-exist with humans?
"Elf?" a voice speaks with concern as Kurt sees her blue eyes and his heart beat faster. Only Kitty Pryde to call him like that and make him such nickname and makes his heart race. Love is a feeling so new. So scary and so amazing.
"I was thinking"
"About a new prank? Now we do know why Scott calls himself Cyclops"
"Oh, that´s for later...I was thinking about mutants and brotherhood. Do you think we can truly co-exist with humans?"
"Yes, but I think we should be realistic in this case...there´s no Utopia. And well...if we want a better future we must fight for it, but, what would be a better future for us?" and then she looks a bit awkward and hates how she has to have this talk and concern so she changes the subject.
"But, no one here will put the chainmail bikini"
"Yet!"
"Sure, Kurt, you would look great in one of them...but, let concern with...what exactly is the mystery soup?"
"Some things are better left off as a mystery. Katzchen"
And while the two laugh, Lance watch them at distance. He´s annoyed and would like to beat up Kurt and take Kitty away, but, even if he does that...what´s next? Why he wants Kitty? And what the Brotherhood can offer for him.
"Guys...what you guys think of Brotherhood?"
"Odd question to make, shouldn´t you be seething to see Kitty with German boy?"
"I´m but...what else I can do? Lock her away? I just...she confused my mind and I need to know we´re on the right"
"Who cares? in this world is every mutant for themselves and Prof X prove this each day ...never forget that"
"And never forget that Magneto and Mystique abandoned us, Pietro, never forget that"
Amanda manages to find Lance alone, for once, in one of the secluded part of the school- it was closed thanks to an incident. Some are quick to blame the mutants, but, a quick analysation proves it was technical problems and no mutants - and Amanda decides now is the perfect time to be subtle.
"Sefton? Are you lost?" Lance asked with a sneer in his lips that did little to scared Amanda who approaches him calmly and speaking about pleasantries.
"I didn´t saw you in the last class...I was afraid you were..."
"Crying?" Lance throws back. "There´s a strange rumour going around that I go to empty classes and cry a river thinking about my shitty father, which, AMANDA, is not true"
"I have no idea what are you talking about" she replies being near him and sitting next to him-both are in a staircase and not minding the bad smell coming from this place- and puts one of the most innocent expressions she ever used that seems to have results to her favour. "I was just worried about you. I notice you and Kitty...don´t seem to be in a good place right now"
"Still don´t see how this is any of your business, but, yes...we fought. I think I don´t know...I just liked to make out with her, maybe, is better like this...we have nothing in common" Lance concedes and not wanting to be too mature he speaks how Kitty kisses.
"You think someone who has a tail and cat ears would be kinkier but Kitty is very innocent in her kisses" there´s a tone of malice and fondness at the same time and Amanda knows a thing or two about hotter kisses to see where Lance is coming from.
"Do you miss it?" she asked back.
"What?"
"Her kisses? Do you missed it?"
"I don´t know...I liked her tail...she never let me pull through...but I liked to watch her tail, it was cute"
"Wanna kiss to compare?"
And if Lance was a bit mature or smarter, that could be the moment where all the red flags are stamping in her face and should say no and move on, then again, Lance ponders on this suggestion.
Well, is only a kiss. Why not?
"Sure, why not?"
Amanda´s plan took a different turn as she spends a few minutes making out with Lance Alvers of all people. She wanted to show him how Kitty´s kisses are better for him and go after her. But after a few minutes, even she forget this idea.
"Scott, look" Jean nudge Scott to the direction she is pointing and the man cracks a smile at this cute scene. "Isn´t cute?" she asked in a soft tone. Kurt and Kitty seem to have fall sleep together.
Things never stay the same, is one of the great truths in life- Amanda reads the Call of Zaorva´s books enough to know about this and how is futile to fight changes life throw at you- and Amanda can only rethink about what she once considered her only truth. Magic comes with a few rules and Amanda is one to follow at least a few rules.
"Things are changing!" Amanda speaks softly as the wind gentle lifts of her hair lock and directs her attention to Lance. The odd couple-if the word can be used here- surprised everyone. Literally everyone.
Raven Darkholme was not pleased. Her friends are not amused and his friends are less so. And this prompts them to make out and date even more. Are they soulmate? Not really. They like to make out and Amanda does not seem to care much for Brotherhood and their future.
"Yeah, they sure are...the X- geekies called us to live with them" Lance replies as the odd couple is in public. His eyes trail to Amanda to see her reaction. Will she fangirl over the X-men.
"Even...Kurt offers a place?" she asked curiously and Lance rolls his eyes at such silly question. The Brotherhood did an investigation on Amanda-of course they would, they love to meddle with each other's lives and care deeply for each other even if Pietro denies- and it seems she was(not sure if is in the past here) a fangirl fo Kurt Wagner.
"He has no real power in the X-men...if Kurt wants me there or not, it means shit" Lance explains and as much people seem to think he cusses all the time. In reality, he rarely does so.
"So you´ll be an X-men?" she asked again. Trying to fish more information out of Lance.
"And you? Still on your Hocus Pocus?" Lance asked turning the tables on Amanda who is indignant at such label to her magic-her power and her new religion- rolls her eyes and fix her shirt and tries to leave.
"Hey, don´t go...not yet" Lance pipes in and Amanda huffs but stays. "The year is almost over. Do you have plans for your future?"
Magneto was furious to know Lance was sleeping with a human, yet, once knowing this human has some magic powers- related to Zaorva, well, Magneto is no expert in magic, but, if a human can wielder magic then she is worth something in his eyes- and manages to congratulate Lance for having such fine date.
Yet, berates Pietro for dating a normal human girl. Natasha. And this is too strange and wrong for the Brotherhood to accept in silence. So, the Brotherhood manages to attack Magneto.
Todd, Blop, Pietro and Lance are no match for someone like Magneto, but, maybe the idea was never to fully defeat him physically but rather to pass a message that they are quitting Brotherhood.
If Magento got the memo or not...is another story.
Kurt will never like Lance for many obvious reasons. Yet, Kurt tries to be a good catholic boy and not let his jealousy cloud his judgment, not all mutants will be your best friend, however, it does not mean you have to be enemies.
Scott does not seem to be all happy to see Lance either, yet, Ororo is the leader and she is the one in charge of this idea. "We are offering a place among us if you so want...no more fights, no more enemies!"
Pietro is not happy with this suggestion. "Now? Jeez, thank you, but no thank you. We´re done with the X-men. We don´t want to stay here anymore...we´re tired of this" Pietro confessed looking now more defeated than arrogant. "We´re tired of following my father´s plans and we don´t want to follow Prof X´s plan" he concludes as the others back him up.
Ororo does not looks alarmed nor looks defeated. She nods and speaks again. "Then where are you all going to stay form now on?" Ororo asked mentally checking to have another chat with Prof X about his methods.
"Shield!"
"Sounds a better option. We hope in the future we can fight side by side"
Magneto is not pleased and in the last attempt to get control over Pietro and the Brotherhood and is his really last attempt, Magento release Wanda Maximoff from the mental institution where she was...in his mind, Pietro would do anything to be with his sister.
Yet, Wanda leaves his side and is with Pietro-lack of options is what she claimed- working for the Shield.
Magneto is less than pleased. Magneto needs to rethink his strategy. And the X-men will pay for this.
Amanda is learning the magic of Zaorva´s cult and she broke up with Lance-again, they were an odd couple- and is dating another mutant(one who took Kurt and Kitty´s advice and is showing his mutation proudly. The boy has elfic ears) and is taking her time to learn magic.
"I thought you wanted Kurt Wagner?" her reflection once asked still smiling as she does.
"Things change. Maybe I´ll always want him. Maybe I won´t...either way, things change and I want to enjoy the change...don´t fight. Embrace it"
Kurt and Kitty are often seeing each other and spend time together. His blue form is gaining some fans. Some people are loving, while yes, some are loving too much and the furry talk is a bit uncomfortable...
"No pitchfork" Kurt mutters as he´s still holding Kitty´s hand.
"No pitchfork" she repeats his words.
So, maybe it was the fact that his blue face is so well accepted(not a Utopic reality. People still look at him funny, but, Kurt is learning this is not important for him right now. Their stares can´t hurt him now) that makes him bold to confess something.
"Katzchen...I want to say something, I ...like you"
"I like you too"
"No, not like that. I mean, I really, really like you"
"Kurt, I know and I really, really like you. Silly elf"
And a kiss was given as their tails are intertwined now. What the future has in store for then? No idea, but they´ll face together.
Remy LeBeau is not a man, well, young man to be exact here, who one would ever associate having a normal relationship and while, yes, his relationship with Rogue has some ups and downs, in the end, Remy still can say that´s the healthiest relationship is with a woman he can´t touch...yet.
"Just because ah touch your check and you should try to kiss me right away...Ah can still hurt you" Rogue crosses her arms and Remy could say it was worthy. And to him it is, but, instead, the Cajun makes a question that was lingering in his mind.
"Cheri, you think a couple can only be a couple if they have sex?" and for once his question held no innuendo. And this is a question Rogue still tries to answer honestly.
"It isn´t?" Rogue asked back and remembers her mother, Irene Adler, and how she often kisses and hugs Mystique and Rogue associates love is this and is supported by how Scott and Jean often kisses and hugs each other.
Ororo and Dr MCcoy are often holding hands and call each other pet-names. There´s a maturity in their love that still impress Rogue-how they can talk about past lovers without envy or worry and Rogue can always hope to be like them if her relationship with Remy falls to the test of time- and she has yet to know how those two became an item.
"Ah remember my mother kissing .........Mystique with love so. Jean and Scott kiss each other all the time and Ororo and Dr.MCcoy are touching hilding hands...so yes, it is important to touch in a relationship!" Rogue concluded and Remy nods sagely seeing her point. How many relationships he had where he did touch the ladies (and some men) in the past?
"Yes, touching is cool, but, love is more than just kisses and touches. You can be happy without it. We can have a relationship without it" Remy states and Rogue does not seem to believe.
"Easy for you to say. I would like to be touched. I would like to be kissed" Rogue stops as Remy takes her in his arms and kisses her lips-her black lipstick is smearing his own mouth and he knows and does not care- and yes her powers activated.
"Remy?" she asked as the Cajun is breathing hard - taking a moment to put his hands on his knee as his energy are recharging- and looks at Rogue with his trademark smile. "Now you got a kiss and I´m still here. See?"
it has been a week since that encounter between Lance and Kitty and things are a bit strange-Lance is acting as if nothing happened, but, his friends seem to dislike her and she is not taking this well- as the boy puts his arms over Kitty´s shoulder a lot and she´s not comfortable with this gesture. She feels as if he wanted to mark her.
"Lance, what´s your favourite colour?" she asked out of blue recalling how Rogue asked this to Kitty and she realizes how she really does not know. Lance chuckles at this question-still putting his arm on her shoulder not minding she´s not truly liking this gesture- and now replies.
"I hate blue. I prefer green..." he states as if is nothing matters and Kitty waits to see if he would add something more once nothing comes out. She made another question.
"Favourite movie? What you do when you´re not in Brotherhood?" she asked no longer being subtle anymore and now Lance´s arm is away from her shoulder as he looks not impressed.
"Stuff. Who cares?"
"Me? Why are we dating then? I know nothing about you and I bet you know nothing about me"
"Not true"
"Ok, what´s my favourite colour?"
"Pink?"
"...blue" she states calmly looking at his eyes now. "Why are you dating me if you never asked about me nor I asked anything about you?" and Lance is quick to respond.
"You´re pretty and a mutant!" and in his mind, that should be reason enough. The Brotherhood has rules and ideologies about mutants and humans, so, why risk with a human if a mutant is a far secure option?
Kitty bites her lips. Her tail is moving anxiously as her ears are too alert. Her eyes narrow at his eyes for a moment as she rose from the chair. "So it could be another mutant?"
Lance opens and closes his words. He mentions something, but, even him does not fully comprehend what he said and Kitty is not angry(in the movies, the lady would be angry, slap the man or give a passionate kiss) and then asks something who Lance was not expecting.
"Why Brotherhood exist?" and this angers Lance to the point his powers are about to make a notable presence. "I just wanted to understand what they offer. I want to understand why there´s a fight mutant against mutant" she explains herself and Lance is still not impressed.
"I´d not know. Ask your great Prof X why he didn´t help Todd or Blob"
"Will do, now, ask yourself why Magneto is leaving you all with Mystique that rarely is present and always lies," she says and leaves Lance alone as now his friends show up.
"What happened?" Pietro asked as Kitty is no longer there and does not seems to care at all. "a fight among lovers?"
"I don´t know" Lance replies and he wonders if his answer is to respond his question or to answer Kitty´s reply, yet, Lance is never one to introspection. "Let´s go!"
Amanda caught a word-thanks to Info-chan and her amazing skills- that Lance and Kitty have a fight and the paradise seems to be over and now Amanda is thinking how to restore this, sure, she can´t go and whisper in Kitty´s ear how Lance is an eye-catch (nor she can grab her tail as much she would love it. One, it would make Kitty distance her and from her plans even more and two, fewer people tried and Kitty proved to have a meanie punch)
What I can do to stop them to break apart? Thought Amanda and she sees Lance alone and decides to atack- metaphorically speaking, of course-and runs to him.
"Lance, can we talk? I heard you and Kitty ..."
"It may not have more Kitty and I, Amanda, and I not sure why you care..."
Kurt is not exactly displeased that Kitty and Lance have another fight, but, is not happy to see Kitty in such state-Scott mentioned that whatever happens in the future Kurt should try to be Kitty´s friend and support her decisions at the best he can-and while some movies he still loves to watch show a different picture...Kurt prefers to not be the jerk in any scenario if possible.
"Katzchen? Are you ok?"
"I...have you ever dated before?" and Kurt shurgs saying that he did go out with some girls and that he indeed was friends with benefices with Tabitha. "Why?"
"Lance is sorted, my first boyfriend. Well, was my first boyfriend...I´m not sure, we know nothing about each other and we make no attempt to know each other...we just make out-and, yeah, kisses are cool, but after that, we´re just two strangers" Kitty confessed looking at the ceiling and Kurt feels his heart tighten in his ribcage at this confession.
"Not sure if I´m the best to talk about love, yes, chicks dig fuzzies" and Kitty chuckles at that "but...love is still something new for me too. Do you want to make things work with Lance?"
"Not really, but, I want to understand...I want to understand why things are like this. Why we must fight with other mutants" Kitty confessed and shakes her head at herself. Her first relationship was not great and ended up pretty quickly and Kitty is philosophising about the morality of the X-men and Brotherhood.
Kurt blinks at this and lets his tail play with her own. "There´s a time that I would say how the Brotherhood is evil and we must stop them. I would say we´re the good guys and they´re the bad guys" Kurt affirms. "Now...I´m not sure"
Her blue eyes meet his golden eyes. "Elf, what´s your favourite colour?" and Kurt laughs now saying is blue and how he´s lucky to be born blue and Kitty offers a smile as she speaks again. "I like blue too. Is my favourite colour too"
Their tails stayed intertwined as their hand are so close of each other-ghostly touching without moving an inch- as they continue to watch the ceiling in peace at least.
Lance Alvers hardly touches on his past-not even Pietro manages to get a word on what Lance used to live before Brotherhood- what he does talk once he´s in a good mood is that Mystique spot him once his father kicks him out of his house (thanks for using his power in the worst moment) and Mystique offers a place for him. That´s it.
So, Kitty Pryde heard about Lance crying in the empty rooms of the school, lamenting how his father was that cruel with his only son (does he have brothers and sisters?) and it prompts Kitty to know more about Lance at any cost, after all, she´s going out with him, right? Sure is not out of her line to ask questions about his past.
(Remy does ask questions about Rogue´s past and Rogue manages to answer as much she could. She talks about Raven and how she resents her. She talks about Kurt being her brother and how her powers still scared her still)
I can do this!
"Lance, can we talk?" Kitty asked once looking at the Brotherhood usual table where they sit and eat away from the others. Mentally, Kitty wonders why they´re eating away from the X-men or why they´re enemies, to begin with.
Good mutants vs bad mutants?
Lance open a big smile -his eyes go left for a moment and open even more- as he responds a bit louder to a certain German boy to listen that they can talk here. Kitty is welcome at the table if you only ask Lance. Pietro is not entirely happy with this and the others are a bit uncomfortable.
Ok. Good Mutants vs Bad mutants must have a reason right?
"I was just wanting to know more about you, Lance, about your family...I" she stops talking once she sees his expression who is anything but happy. And clench his fist on the table(not missing a beat that Scott and German boy are peering at his form) and tries to speak in a reserved tone as much he could.
"What do you want to know?" Lance asked once breathing in and out. And Kitty can see some of the rumours are real. So what? What can she do? What Remy and Rogue did in this situation?
"I...heard you were crying in an empty room about your family" Kitty gives more vibes she´s on something right and must do something. After all, isn´t what a girlfriend do? Her mind goes to Kurt for some reason-she looks at him for a moment and back to Lance- she is not dating him but she´s always ready to help him.
"No, Pretty Kitty, I never will cry about my useless father and mother. They kick me out for being a mutant. Not sure who" now Lance is looking at Kurt with a dangerous look "would tell you this lie, but, I´d not cry about my family"
"No one told me" she lied a little. "it was a rumour I heard and I was just concerned. Can I help you?" one would think that the phrase can I help you shouldn´t warrant such anger, yet, Lance proves her wrong.
"Help? Oh, will the X-men now help us?" Lance asked slowly losing his temper and Pietro is the one talking now saying to Lance to breathe in and out and to count until 10 and to Kitty to leave now. Sadly, Kitty is being too stubborn.
"I...just think this is stupid, why we have to fight? you can go to the mansion and...be happy" Kitty thinks this is not the best way to address the issue and is proven right as Lance rose from his seat gaining everyone´s attention.
"Stupid? Do you think this is stupid?! Of course you, you´re born with a golden spoon in your mouth and you´re Prof X´s little monkeys. You all geekies believe the best and think if mutants and humans sing a song together all the hate and racism will be over, of course, you think is stupid!" Lance now looks ready to fight and Kurt´s presence is not making the matters any less easy.
"Don´t scream at her!" Kurt said not in his usual cheery mood. He looks aggressive and is extremely rare to see Nightcrawler so upset. Scott is surprised by this change on Kurt, but, he has other things to worry like, for example, Lance who may use his powers and cause an avalanche on the school.
However, Jean, having enough of this testosterone show off. Uses her powers to calm everyone up-she´ll deal with the ethical implications later- and everyone squad to a different location leaving Kitty alone and really confused.
"Kurt?" Scott asked as Kurt´s bad mood continues and Scott wonders if the scene would be worse if Kurt was in his real form, however, is not the time for that as Kurt is clearly not having a good day and needs someone to talk about it. "What´s going on? I never saw you this angry before"
And now Kurt stops whatever he was doing and gives a really scary look at Scott who is unphased by this. "She´s dating that..." not nice German words were used here "why?"
Scott has a feeling what´s going on and would laugh at the sheer irony of him having to explain jealousy and longing to Kurt Wagner. He remembers how many times he badmouths Duncan to Bobby because Jean was going out with him at the time. It was almost funny looking back, almost.
"Because she has this option, Kurt, there´s nothing preventing her to go out with him" Scott speaks and Kurt listen and is clear as day this is not what he wanted to hear. "Why you care so much? And don´t tell me is because he´s from Brotherhood...Remy is from Brotherhood and is dating your sister. Why Lance is different?" is a good question that really made Kurt stop to analyse something.
"Is because...is Kitty, you know, she´s ..." he´s looking for words and is lost for a moment. "she´s special. You know"
"I don´t, what she means to you, Kurt"
"I...think I like her" he confessed quietly to himself and Scott didn´t catch the last part. "I like her, alright, I think I did ever since she arrives here. I hate she´s dating Lance and I don´t know what to do with myself? I know this is not a movie...I can´t just kiss her and everything will be alright, but, I like her and don´t know what to do with myself"
"Well, you can talk with me, trust me, I was in this position a few years ago"
"I thought you and Jean were practically married"
"Well, not really, it was a long way hill to get where we are now"
Rogue got word of what happened between Lance and Kitty and she can let her personal distaste for Lance go for a moment in order to give insight on the situation. Is what any good older sister would do and Rogue has the part cover.
"So, you asked this to Lance?" Rogue asked once Kitty told her the whole story and now Rogue can see what truly happened.
"Yes, I just wanted to help..."
"Helping is not a problem and is admirable you want to help, but, it seems more as you´re pitting him than actually wanting to help and I think Lance seems to be proud enough to hate pity"
Judging by the looks on Kitty it seems Rogue hit the nails just right. her tail is pretty lifeless at this point and her ears are resembling too much of a sad cat, well, Kitty is emulating this emotion down to a T.
"Kitten, let me ask something, what you and Lance like to do together?"
"Kiss?"
"Cool, what else?"
"UHm, more kisses?"
"What do you know about him?"
"He´s from Brotherhood"
"And what he knows about you?"
"I´m from the X-men"
"Kitty, you two know next to nothing about each other..."
