HEAR ME OUT While I Explain To You My New Fanfic Idea !!!

I need it so bad rn

Reblog the writers’ fortune cookie for luck!

“What’s your favourite horror movie?”

Oh I don’t know, maybe Erik’s eyes when he realised that his decades of trial and error did nothing to help him against Shaw, and he and everyone he loved would die a pointless death at the hands of the man he swore to never let hurt anyone else again…

Okay guys, I need to share my FAVORITE fanfiction of all time.

So, we all know that James McCavoy played Charles Xavier and Bill Denbrough (It). Well, imagine if the two characters were actually the same person ?

We go through the X-Men movies with Charles not remembering anything about Derry, and then, BAM he receives the call from Mike, telling him to come back to take care of Pennywise.

(And I love the fact that Charles is actually his middle name but he refuses to go by it)

Cherry on top ? It’s a Cherik fic with Moira being the best of friends (and a f*cking badass) 🤭

I’ve probably read it like 3 times since August and it is still my favorite fic ever !

Anyways, I don’t gatekeep, have fun !

found family? no, forced family

I’m cooking, kids 🤭🤭

Okay hear me out !

A modern AU (still with powers) where Charles and Erik are childhood friends and Charles falls in love with Erik but Erik doesn’t reciprocate because he thinks he’s straight.

BUT every time Charles has a date with another man, or when they are in a pub Erik gets jealous af and they fight about it. (A bit like Raven at the beginning of FC)

Charles doesn’t understand why his friend is behaving like that because he promised to never read his mind.

Then after days of fighting and maybe even silent treatment, Erik just pull Charles into a kiss and realize he is, in fact, not straight and ask him out 🫢🫢

Would people be interested in a fic like that ??

Bitches love reblogging this post every Tuesday the 18th

Last post after rewatching x men apocalypse

I believe the trauma Charles endured in this movie is severely overlooked.

His first encounter with Erik happened through Cerebro, where he witnessed Erik’s desperate memories and the tragedy that befell him. Charles, as always, was ready to offer love and support, but Erik—broken and consumed by darkness—chose a different path. Given his nature and the betrayals he has faced, his reaction is understandable, though certainly not justified. After all, the very humans he seeks to destroy include his own mother, his wife, and his daughter.

Regardless, instead of turning to a friend, Erik decides to offer a sacrifice on a silver platter—or rather, on Charles’ metal wheelchair—to Apocalypse. He has no idea what the entity intends to do with Charles, but it’s clear that whatever it is, it will only bring him harm.

As for Erik’s betrayal, it wasn’t entirely surprising, but this time, it hit harder because of the circumstances.

Charles wasn’t just collateral damage in Erik’s plans—he was the sacrifice itself. Along with the psychological and physical violation he endured, this made his experience in the film one of the most brutal and impactful, yet it wasn’t given nearly as much focus as it deserved.

Yet despite all of this, Charles does not respond with anger or resentment. He still hopes Erik will see the goodness within himself (which he eventually does—but only after Charles loses his hair, of course! 🧍). But it’s all in vain.

‎‏For Charles, even when Erik betrays him, he doesn’t view it as outright treachery. Instead, he sees a broken person making destructive choices due to his pain. That’s why he never truly gives up on him. However, the problem with this level of understanding is that it makes Charles the biggest victim. He’s always the one who gets hurt because he refuses to set boundaries.

( in DOFP charles wasn’t himself)

Anyway!

Apocalypse attacks Charles in the one way he would hate the most—by forcing him to use his powers to manipulate others, stripping them of their free will. In mere seconds, we see just how powerful Charles truly is when Apocalypse compels him to disarm the world and send a global message of terror.

Losing control over himself was the worst thing that could happen to someone like Charles, who built his entire philosophy on free will and choice.

he was desperately resisting. And when he is finally rescued, it is Raven who falls into Apocalypse’s grasp.

Acopalyps calls out, Come Charles!

Tears fill his eyes—he was ready to surrender himself for Raven anyway, saying, He wants me. But the process reveals a terrifying truth: this was never about Charles as an individual. If Apocalypse controls him, he controls the entire world. We can see the tears in his eyes as he realizes this.

And so, Charles is forced to fight again within his own mind—only to lose.

And then, at long last, Uncle Erik decides to step in. (After Charles had already lost his hair, of course! 🧍)

I think people severely underestimate the trauma Charles went through in this film—the violation, the misuse of his power, the betrayal by a friend… I would mention the loss of his hair, but that seems to be the only part everyone actually cares about.( idont blame them though)

‏It feels like the everyone took Charles’ trauma for granted because he’s always expected to carry burdens without complaint. This is a recurring issue with leader-type or morally grounded characters—they’re expected to be strong, so their personal struggles are often overlooked .

It is frustration that the film / fanfics explores other characters’ trauma in depth that why my post was so long! To talk about it 🙂‍↔️🤍

And thank you.

The first time I watched this film, my attention was mainly focused on Erik and Peter. It’s strange how much one’s perspective shifts upon rewatching. (It’s still interesting, of course—just not nearly as much as Charles.)

thinking about how Erik remembers this scene in first class differently to how it actually went (during xma)

i put the two clips together for comparison (apologies for the bad transition between them i honestly don’t care about fixing it rn)

HELLO?? 😭😭

damn i guess Erik wants to feel needed. especially from Charles 🤨

omg why is he so gay… YOUR WIFE AND DAUGHTER DIED LIKE TWO DAYS AGO???

the gay tear….

New edit in the works! I originally was just gonna take a scene from Dark Phoenix and interlace it with other clips, but then I was like ‘nah I’m gonna do a full Erik tribute video.’

I spent over an hour on the first 30 seconds, so here is the first 30 seconds!

Made with CapCut Pro!

What’s actually kinda cool is that I got CapCut pro almost one full year ago today so I could make tribute edits like these. I’m excited to keep trudging along with this edit and I’m looking forward to working on it more!
