in a previous au of mine i had a little pondering over if other x men were teens instead of what happened to the og 5 in the comics.
pondering further, i imagine that all if not most of the ages of the x men are flipped. to elaborate, in this au old man cable who could be approx. 60 years maybe, would be a toddler / maybe 5 . taking the og 5 themselves, if in the comics they're currently in their late twenties, in this au they would be in their late 30's or early 40's
by this logic charles wouldn't have formed the x men and the brotherhood doesn't exist.
so in this au, the og 5 form the x men.
they meet as teens because of a string of math or academic contests along the school year. because the competitions happen all over the country , plenty of different school teams end up travelling together . they meet enough times to form a group and jokingly call themselves the x men 'cuz they all always solving for X (get it, they always meet for math olympiads and such )
scott - great at trigonometry, bobby at algebra, warren - co ordinate geometry, beast is the ever all-rounder and jean is a biology beast
time goes on , the x gene activates, they help each other with their powers and grow closer together as friends
since professor x isn't there to help scott and give him his ruby quartz glasses, in this au scott doesn't get anything like a visor until maybe his thirties. this happens as the gang do end up finding a solution for scott's uncontrolled optic blasts they don't have the finances for it, so when they're established in their careers with good money they make his glasses. Warren could give his money because his parents were always strict with whom he could spend it on.
the only way scott could control it was by....shutting his eyes. he's essentially blind
for adult life they do stay connected sometimes sharing apartments
jean becomes a biologist specializing , in human gene mutations, bobby becomes a CA, warren manages his family business, hank does a whole host of PhDs and is in the research field, he might later on join mutant related politics.
i headcanon scott to start a youtube channel for funsies where he sometimes post videos of him singing, after a while he keeps getting better at song writing and singing, and views keep pouring in. He starts earning money from it. he saves up for joining a pilot program. yada yada plot happens, he joins the military pilot program by scholarship even though he's blind cause he has excellent spatial awareness. he graduates but continues to sing to earn money as a side hustle during breaks. he gets famous as a singer too. his stage name is *drumrolls please* MR. BEAM *wink* *wink* *wink* *wink*
yada yada plot occurs, they open a school for mutants, and do x men missions.
oh, btw, scott is in a relationship with madeline pryor , they get married and have nathan in their mid thirties. he met her during his flight program in the same institute but she was in a different flight program. in this au, madeline and jean become friends, they were never clones, but they look very alike , its a running joke that their twins/clones in another universe.
to differentiate between them, in my au, jean & madeline both have telekinesis and telepathy, but jean has weak telekinesis and madeline has weak telepathy. together the call themselves the 'Phoenix'.
[ madeline is a crazy lady and scott loves it. he even wrote a song about her 'crazy maddie' :-) ]

i don't consider myself a writer or an artist. if any of you could be so kind as to add your inputs and give creative pieces for this muse, i would be grateful and overjoy.
if he does stories i bet he does bedtime lullabies. not the little cutesy ones, like 'twinkle twinkle little star', but like bad ass ones he sorta heard growing up or something he made up
he doesn't know any lullabies as such, so as lullabies he sings old old songs which brought him comfort to the little kids, basically deep meaningful songs.
maybe one of the songs revolve around a child traveling the cold icy terrain of canada, walking through the woods all alone, always learning something about himself through the surrounding nature and wildlife?
all the kids love it and now pester him to sing a lullaby especially the tiny tots. :-)
maybe he secretly tucks them in at night ;-)
the image of Logan having semi-regular storytimes about his missions/adventures with little life lessons in them is all thats running thro my mind now
guuuyyyyys i got a headcanon!!!!!!!!! one of logan's first jobs as a youth was at a morgue basically cutting up and examining bodies, sorta preserving them for a while for their funerals, carving tombstones, the works.. i.e. learning to do everything you do at a morgue and a funeral home hence he learns how to professionally/ medically dissect bodies. very good for his murder business ..... good good. also, and most importantly, he had learned to do makeup.... on corpses for funerals. so naturally when he ever went to a party, he’s always decked out in elegant funeral clothes, resembling morticia addams, a bit macabre but captivating
logan shaves of aaaaalllllllll his body hair, cuz he made for below zero temperatures, not for hot new york summers
please he's being practical
i like the idea that jubilee was a handful to deal with, and i think i read somewhere that the only people had could handle her/ she would listen to are hank and logan, of which she listens to logan more.
so, little jubilee will be menace for scott to handle on his lonesome
scott : jubilee... for the last time its your turn to wash the dishes this week
jubilee : i don't wanna right now
scott : come on jubes, you can't put off your chores any longer
jubilee : you can't make me; like you could anyway *annoyed eye roll*
scott : if you don't get up right now... i'll call mr.wolvie
jubilee : ppfffffttt, *snort* the NHL has started, dummy. good luck trying to get him away from the tv.
scott : i mean it jubilee, i will do it.
jubilee : yeah right
scott : *with perfect calm, feigning defeat takes a few steps away, and takes a deep breath* MR.WOOOOLLLLVVVVIIIIIEEEEEE!!!!
jubilee : oh SHIT! *starts running towards the kitchen*
** in the background, the audience begins to hear logan's pained groan, his team is losing and his eardrums now hurt**
Halloooo !! , fellow lovers. I had a brainworm :-)
once upon a time, in an interview long ago, Stan Lee said, (i repeat in not so accurate words) ".... the secret to writing the x men was not to treat it like an action story but like a soap opera .... "
as far as i can see in my okayish memory, all the x-men intros show their powers in a brief action sequence with there code name showing up before/after said sequence. In my imagination, the intros proceed to show the main/side characters in their element or with their buddies, there by showing their relationships/goofier sides/ bits of personality. Less focus on cool power moves.
Ex: scott with his cereal/soup, professor x (charles xavier) playing chess, talking philosophy with magneto , logan and kurt doing mischief and pranking others with kitty pryde ( in her late teens or as a young adult) , hank and jean doing science shit and list goes on .
all the scenes shift around and about the x-mansion (maybe with a different cooler sounding name) with the character pairs in different rooms, giving the audience the layout with plenty of clues here and there for what could be happening in future episodes.
there will be plenty of kids as main/side characters also. i imagine that as we seen them, their names (real ones not code names) in a font they like with some jazz just beside/behind them
bits and pieces of the intro slightly change with progression in episodes showing the changes in their relationships
( **just personal preference, i don't imagine a jean-logan-scott poly ship or love triangle in this narrative, only scott-jean ship. )
the format of the show will be a hybrid of drama, action, love, friendship, a balance between high stakes and and feels
premises(sort of ?) - older members being teachers (ex: storm) [we actually get to see them teach their subjects], some being in IT support/ security (ex: forge) and youngest (ex: jubilee even magik or quentin quire maybe) being students
A plot- revolves around the various students and teachers: life/origin story, family, inter-personal relations
B plot- anti-mutant, time travel, religious bigot shit, simultaneously advancing the A plot
(as i type this out i do realize that what i just described does take inspo form x men evolution :-p )

add your headcanons/art for a possible fan animation tv series too. spread the love and do comment *wink wink*

how and why does logan have a secret-not-so-secret thing for cheek kisses . i refuse to believe its a right only ororo has, but a right only she has used it (maybe abused MUHAHAHA)
