So does anyone else see Scott Summers as, like, the mutant version of the Chosen One?

This looks very interesting! I love this version of Scott Summers, it's just like he was back in the 90s when he was actually acknowledged to be smart, strong, and noble. You know, when he was leader of the X-Men for a good reason?

One of the worst things to happen to X-Men fandom was the rampant pro-Wolverine craze of the 2000s that rewrote the characterizations for everyone else so badly. What they did to Scott was the most deplorable. He was an orphaned blind teenager who lived on the streets for anywhere from 4 months to 4 years, depending on various canons, and was either a thief and/or a hustler (re: prostitute) to survive that time. A unprivileged boy survived a hell of a crappy youth to grow up to be a smart (math, not English! ::shakes fist at movieverse::) teacher, a strong leader, a beloved surrogate son, and a loving husband. Heck, back then, even Logan respected him. May not necessarily have liked him, but certainly trusted him and willingly followed his orders. There was mutual respect between them, not the ruthless ( ... )

Yep. I was quite fond of 90's!Scott Summers. And yes! Scott is leader because Scott is a GOOD leader!

There is nothing I can add to this. You have said everything I have been complaining about since the first X-Men movie came out. (I cried so hard at X3. Why? Why kill him? Motherfuckers, he's the goddamned HEIR APPARENT!! *dissolves into rage*)

I'm certainly having fun writing the next part. XP Oh, I'm so mean to my characters. Can you hear that? That is the sound of fragile delusions being cruelly crushed beneath the steel-toed combat boot of wake up and smell the hypocrisy. I am Not Nice to typecast characters. Nope. <3

Never fear, Rings-verse is as always taking up a significant chunk of my writing time.

Random fandom is random, and very welcome. I'd like to see what you do with a Scott who's not the supercilious weenie that's all over the internet these days. (He's not going to be a weenie, is he?). Also, that thing about Cyclops and Magneto, is that canon? Because it should be. It's the most believable explanation.

The flower garden is really, really fun. I'm going to be so disappointed when the event finishes.

Nope. This is a weenie!Scott free zone. In fact, the whole fic is basically about Scott running around being awesome and changing the face of civilization as we know it. And so far as I know it is NOT canon, but Cyclops and Magneto have this strange bromance thing where they bonded over... I dunno. Tactics or something.

... My flowers are gone. *sadface*
