The X-Men's Great Art Hijacking! Eurythmie, Ferdinand Hodler (1895)

Ideally, if Scott and Emma had kids in the main comics, would you want Megan and Ruby to co-exist? Or do you consider them similar enough to be multiversal variants of the same person, a Cable/X-man or Hope Pym/Nadia Van Dyne situation. I tend to lean toward option 2, but it would be interesting to see them try to get along in option 1.

(But also writers need to remember Emma's actual original surrogate daughter, the Hellion Catseye. She's both a daughter and a cat, which is peak cuteness. She should get a chance to hang out with her posh cuckoo sisters and/or help her mom troll her current stepdad Tony.)

(P.P.S. Emma and the Cuckoos need to meet Tony's AI daughter Friday.)

I want them to coexist. Scott Summers is meant to be a girl dad, he's meant to have a large family. I love Megan, Ruby, Megan's siblings (the one named Alex goes straight to my heart, he and his brother might fight a lot but he loves Havok so much), all of them. Emma is meant to be a mom and not in the way where it's like "she's not fulfilled until she's a mom". Her biggest fear was turning out like her father (the way she acted with the Hellions and getting them killed, the small thought she had where she was like 'im just like him'). With Megan and Ruby both, their stories boast about an understanding mother, one who was caring. She was the White Queen to everyone else but she was the mom Hazel Frost never was. Attentive, caring, not just focused on image and perfection.

Like how she is with the Cuckoos. She's a little awkward because they're teenagers but multiple times she's seen worrying about them, caring about their feelings. When they didn't return home from the first Hellfire Gala when it was sunrise, when they approached her about becoming the new White Queen, when Esme told her about her and Nathan's relationship and she helped her through that.

And Catseye being overlooked is really annoying. Because they pulled this Emma and Kate like Emma has always had her eye on Kitty being her apprentice, even though they butt heads a lot in older comics. Catseye probably wouldn't have been made Red Queen but maybe someone on Emma's team of people at Hellfire HQ.

I honestly loved the things they did with Empath still working for Emma while with the newer Hellions team. She still cares about them obviously. They're all alive on Krakoa, there is a scene where Empath is being yelled at by them because he let Sinister use their team name.

I personally am not a big fan of the Tony Stark/Emma Frost thing. I enjoyed it when it was a fling but Emma is a strong fighter for mutant rights. AVX and the other superhero teams reactions (FF4) to Krakoa were very revealing, showing how the Avengers viewed mutants and mutantkind having another nation. Tony Stark can say he's sorry a lot but it doesn't change the fact that Emma canonically holds grudges, she's always waiting for a way to get you back. They're cute together but only if you ignore the countless times Avengers have slandered the mutants, even when having mutants on their team.

Meeting Friday would be adorable, I will admit.

Anyway, I'm rambling and frazzled from work so this might not make sense.

X-Men: The Trial of Magneto

[summerstrash]

The Summers/Grey/Snikt/Frost/Neramani Family and the Infamous 'Clone Fucking Poll' Discourse:

*Gabby is excused as she is too baby for this discourse.

I don’t want to fuck my clone because that would be gay sex and I’m not gay — Alex Summers

I’m not gay but I would actually totally fuck my clone — Gabriel Summers, Deathbird

I’m gay, but I still don’t want to fuck my clone, that’s gross and weird — Rachel Grey-Summers, Laura Kinney

I don’t want to fuck my clone because my self-loathing is THAT strong — Scott Summers, Maddy Pryor

I’d totally fuck my clone because I want to know if I’m good in bed.  — Teen Cable

I’d fuck my clone because who would know better how to fuck ME than ME? — Daken 

I’d totally do all sorts of weird things to my clone I’d be embarrassed to ask someone else to do. — Katherine Summers

To be honest, fucking my clone has always been my fantasy. — Nate Grey, Christopher Summers

It’s basically the same as masturbating, right?  So no big deal. — Hope Summers

It’s not the same as masturbating, it’d be like having sex with your twin.  Wrong and bad! — Logan, Emma, & The Cuckoos, collectively

I would not have sex with my clone because what if my clone is evil. — Jean Grey, Original Cable

Not only would I have sex with my clone, I’d probably make a bunch of clones and just get it on with all of them at once because that’s how pro clone-fucking I am. — Nathaniel Essex literally did this, I'm absolutely sure.

So I am guessing when the Cuckoos are written as saying ‘Mum’ to Emma its not a translation for us English but to denote they’re speaking in an English accent?

That scene was actually the saddest to me.I thought they would be closer since they’re each other’s only family. And then after when they said Esme was no one without them. Poor girls. Anyway, Esme is best girl you can fight me.
