This is me! Sorta. I’ve VERY disappointed the ant emoji wasn’t available, but I made do as best as I could.

"Oh, hey there, Maggie!" Doreen replied as she opened the door to see the young teen fully decked out in a costume. "It's great to see older kids still trick-or-treating, Halloween is just so exciting!"
"I was really tempted to make this a montage of Hank taking sitting on the edge of a chair to its natural extreme, because no-one sits on a chair like goddamn Hank McCoy."
Please don't hold back, just do it 😌 Show us Hank's ways of sitting <3
Hehehe, so, I've been wanting to tackle this one for a while, but it took a little time and I wanted to get my caps together, so, let's get through it, shall we?
So, anyone who's ever consumed a piece of X-Men media is likely aware of the fact that Hank McCoy Does Not Sit On Chairs.
Like, I mean . . . he does.
He is ostensibly capable of sitting in a chair like a human being would.
But then he does this shit. All the time.
Hell, how do we meet him in X-Men: The Last Stand?
Reading, upside down, on the ceiling.
So, this thing that he does - he does do it every now and then to be intimidating, but let's be real here, Hank doesn't really do intimidating very often.
No, the real reason he does it, is because it's comfortable.
He seemingly has absolutely no issue with blood rushing to the head or orientation causing him vertigo or anything like that, which fits with his superhuman agility, dexterity, and balance - his brain and body seem to be perfectly adapted so that he can remain upside down for as long as he wants without issue.
Hell, Hank's physicality and its role in expressing his character is explicitly called out in Marvel Masterworks: The Avengers #18 as a useful way to immediately communicate to new readers what he's about. He's weird, he's kooky, he's playful, he's not quite like everyone else.
But it's one thing to hang from the ceiling. It's another entirely to see how Hank deigns to handle actual chairs. Because you'll start a scene, and he'll be like this. Just sitting, normal. Like a normal person sits.
AAAAAAAND there he goes.
He just cannot help himself.
Never has been able to help himself, in fact!
SIT! ON! THE CHAIR! HANK!
HANK THAT'S NOT EVEN A CHAIR GET DOWN FROM THERE.
Hank, I refuse to believe you're washing your feet often enough for this to be hygienic. You're EATING that popcorn! Someone else might want to read that book without wondering why there's a goddamn footprint on it! ALSO!!! That chair is RIGHT there! Sit on it! Don't use it as an arm rest, that's just weird!
. . . Is this a thing people do? Sleep on their front? I've always found that spectacularly uncomfortable? Just me?
Hank, you've been alive for like 5 minutes, and you're already back on your bullshit?!
Oh, you're just doing this to mock me now, you little fucker.
You too, you little bitch?
But. Yes. Hank clearly does not believe in there being a universally accepted way to sit on chairs.
(I apologize. I did this one on my phone. The text reads: {{@MissMaggieMcMooffin}} a little known fact is that there is a squirrel version of every holiday. for example on squirrel valentines day we celebrate squirrel love by engaging in heated debates about pistachios. #FakeSquirrelFacts)
