sometimes what you need to get out of a deep depression is to start shipping a fictional couple that encourages you to read fanfiction until 3 am.

people who only want gay characters to be played by gay actors just dont understand the appeal of two ostensibly straight actors playing two ostensibly straight characters yet having so much chemistry together that they actually want to make out with each other more than just keep with whatever weird subtextual thing is already going on

Erik Lehnsherr is a better man than me, because if a little twink that thinks the world is sunshine and rainbows would have told me "They are just following orders" I would have bitch slapped him all the way to next week.

That alone is proof that they are gay, because if Charles would had told any other jew something along the phrase "They are just following orders", He wouldn't have made it off the fucking beach, let alone continue to be treated like a "friend".

Like for real Charles is so lucky Erik is gay for him. There isn't a single jew, let alone a holocaust Survivor that would have let that slide as smoothly as Erik did.

Being a pretty twink saved his life from his own stupidity.

cherik nation,,, im baaaaack

Screencap from a scene in X-Men First Class (but flipped upside-down bc they were in the middle of an Obi-Wan level happy landing lol):

Nabbed it because I love how Erik's response to Charles free-floating in the cabin during a plane crash was to just throw himself down on top of Charles and magnet himself to the plane it's so CUTE so PROTECTIVE

but I'm having immense internal screaming about the way Charles has grabbed onto Erik's wrist?!?!?!?! I love them so much?!!?!?

Embrace your love for fictional toxic romances 😌😏

Charles: My Mother drank herself after my Father died

Also Charles after Erik left him:

+Bonus:

Take after your Mama much Charlie!?

I had another realization today and I'm not okay

charles' terrible, not good, very bad coping with erik's death (it's been a slowburn of him not acknowledging it until he blew up)

Timeline of First Class

So, we all know that the X-Men-Timeline is messed up and people behind it didn't seem to care much, BUT Something that bothers me is that X-Men: First-Class makes you think that its entire plot was maybe at most, like one month or so, when this couldn't be further from the truth. Let me explain. When Charles gives his presentation about mutation at the CIA, he asks them about the "missiles the US is currently placing in Turkey" which makes people there think he's a spy. This references a real-life event which happened at the 1rst of April, 1962. So, this is where we are in the plot. Now, I thought, "Ok, maybe in this universe because of Shaw's meddling, the cuba crisis escalates a lot quicker than that, so instead of October, it maybe happened in July or something" but no. At the end of the Beach-divorce-scene, we hear Kennedy's Thanksgiving speech from 1962, where he states "There is a lot we can be grateful for in these times, especially when thinking about where we standed ONLY FOUR WEEKS AGO." Thanksgiving 1962 was November 22, which means four weeks before lands perfectly with where the actual escalation of the cuba crisis happened, the weekend from Friday, October 26th to Sunday October 28th. Which means that the plot of First Class rolls out not in one month or something, but over HALF A YEAR. That means the Gay-Mutant-Road-trip must have taken several months, because the trip to Russia and its consequences took out pretty concisely over a short period of time. So, yeah, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

there needs to be wayyyyyy more post-xmfc cherik content

barring that, there just needs to be more horny older cherik content in general

let people 50+ be horny AND let disabled people be horny in ways that work for them, thanks for coming to my ted talk

Charles looked in Erik's head once and was like "yeah, he's the one"

I used to read a lot of really really dark sad whump fics pretty much exclusively. Characters getting absolutely mentally and physically annihilated in the worst, most soul-crushing circumstances possible. Lots of hurt no comfort. Lots of apocalypses. Over the past five or six years, I’ve turned to reading mostly stories about characters getting dogs and having adventures with them, or growing old together, or escaping bad circumstances against all odds. Fix-it AUs. Slice-of-life fics. I’m not necessarily a happier person. I think I just value those stories more than I did. Something something the dystopia is here something something wisdom comes with age. Dykwim
