Poor, poor, poor Emma. Her life sucks. It just does. Trying to find happiness with a man who always thinks of another. Bah. She deserves more, especially after her childhood. *shakes head*

Loverly story, sionn. Loverly.

[inathunderstorm]

Thanks. Except she's a heartless bitch. Still, though, yeah. I love in Astonishing where she calls Jean "A sacred cow."

*pets Emma*

So bitchy.

[willowaus]

She has every right to be a bitch. What with all that happened in her past.

A sacred cow. *giggles* Oh how I love Emma.

[inathunderstorm]

The best line is where she goes, "Superhero powers, scintillating wit, and the best body money can buy. And still I rate below a corprse."

You slay me as always. *pets awesome-writer!Sionn*

Just a perfect scene of having, in theory, everything you really want, but not really having it, and also knowing it won't last.

[inathunderstorm]

Well, Emma kind of fucks up here, because she's...well, sort of evil. *laughs*

But I just love their dynamic, and the way she's always so...well, sort of evil. *giggles madly*

I will get you writing in this fandom if it's the last thing I do....

[kethlenda]

Omg how long would it take me to catch up on the plot omg? *hides from mountain of comics*

[inathunderstorm]

No! No. Listen.

There are different X-Verses, right? Astonishing is written by Joss Whedon of Buffy and Firefly fame, and I have the two graphic novels and two loose issues that just came out. It's it own 'verse so all you have to do is read those.

It's not that complicated. I started reading Astonishing. You could also read Ultimate, which is made for new fans (I have all of them).

It won't take you long at all, promise.

*tempts*

The angst....would make you happy...

[inathunderstorm]

Hee! GIve me time. I'm getting my feet wet with Emma :)

[st_aurafina]

Yay! *loves Emma* Her life is so complicated.

I love the way you worked the 10 of cups in, too. *is sad*

[inathunderstorm]

Hee! Yay, Emma.

Thanks!! I love that comm.
