Hi, internet. I keep stubbornly refusing to admit my el jay is dying, despite going so long between updates and the inability to keep long-term logs of day to day life on Twitter or the dreaded tumblr, but alas

I read this a million hours ago and LJ would not let me log in for love or money so I could tell you how much I love you/this post/everything you said. I would like to draw hearts around so many of these things but mostly thank you for like...being incredibly enthusiastic about the awesome things that were awesome (RAVEN ♥ CHARLES ♥ QUICKSILVER ♥) while being lovingly mocking of dumb Erik and his dumb plan and the dumb stadium and his dumb muscle costume and his monologuing and ERIK GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER. Oh my god and the JFK thing. Your post gave me some necessary perspective in a few places... like, I love your point that it's just evidence of how Charles is so far gone when it comes to Erik that his reaction to the JFK thing was like I ACCEPT THIS EXPLANATION WITHOUT QUESTION OR COMPLAINT AND NOW I WILL CRY UPON THIS CHESSBOARD FOR THE TIME WE HAVE LOST.

I admit that initially I was a little disappointed in Erik's parts of the movie (although really the fact that they finally seemed to be on the right track with Mystique largely made up for that and also 70's Charles talking to Future Charles made me cry a lot of really sappy tears about growing up with Professor X on my television and how much that meant to me idk idk) because Erik just...look I love Erik like. A lot. And I am always so incredibly disappointed when his plans turn out to be SACRIFICING A MUTANT BROTHER OR SISTER (USUALLY A SISTER UGH MOVIES WHY) for the GOOD OF MUTANTKIND GENERALLY like Erik what the fuck just...stop reading the Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas and overidentifying with the people who stay and oh my god why does your plan have to be STADIUM LIFTING and RHETORIC like buddy, don't sell me your "brothers and sisters" schtick right now, man, the ink isn't dry on the papers reporting from Paris where you TRIED TO KILL A FELLOW MUTANT IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE WORLD AHHHH ERIK YOU ARE SO DUMB WHY DO I LOVE YOU???? Why????

I have had some tequila. Look, the point is, I love you, and this post. And also Wolverine's SOMEONE HE LOVES line because I made a pterodactyl screech when that happened and McAvoy somehow managed to convey a million emotions in his immediate reaction even though his back was to the camera???? It was amazing??? AND THEN OLD DUDES IN LOVE HAPPENED TOO. I know this isn't really my campground in Marvel fandom anymore but I AM STILL VERY INVESTED IN THEIR FACES. Even when they're monologuing at the world in a muscle costume to show their ex-boyfriends how cool? they are.
