a man who mocks Charles' vanity and yet spends twice as much time getting ready whenever they leave the house. He has to coordinate his cape to his other accessories and that takes time, Charles.

sometimes, he wants to hold Charles, so he does.
Duh he does. Adorbs! <3

oh god, I'm about to respond to your joke comment with serious contemplation, BEAR WITH ME.

I feel like, while "the kindly, unassuming Professor X!" is totally an affectation on Charles' part, Magneto and the way he presents himself is even more so? Like, I feel like his costume and his need to HAVE a costume and his demands and his targets and his big plans are all chosen with intent to portray a very particular picture. That maybe at first, that first day on the beach and all the Nazi-hunting before that, it was just blind rage and purpose, but from the moment he puts effort into the design of that costume (very little effort, mind, but still) up through the first trilogy of X movies and the comics canon, it becomes less about this sort of..."I'm baldly standing up for all mutants without further agenda!" to "I'm very carefully choosing how the public views me in order to stand up for my agenda of freedom for all mutants."

Um, which is all to says, lol capes.

Oh, yeah, totally. Like, he knows how the relationship between the media and the REVOLUTION works. It's not like he likes it. But he gets it.

By "it" I meant "capes."
