“Jean is team mom” “Ororo is team mom” SILENCE. Enough of you reducing women to maternal archetypes because you can’t be bothered to explore deeper meanings to their character.
LOGAN is team mom.
“Logan, can you buy us—“ “no” (buys the thing anyway)
Is constantly scolding his kids students for putting themselves in danger
Plans fun activities (life threatening danger room drills)
Handles the rebellious phases. You think Scott has the mental strength to deal with the fury of a teenage girl who can throw fireworks when she’s mad? I think not.
Hank can barely convince Jubilee to do her homework. Charles mentally checked out a long time ago.
Takes Jubilee, Kitty and Laura shopping. If he doesn’t like something, he’ll give them the blankets ‘that’s cute. I wouldn’t buy it.’ In the world
“What do you think, I’m made of money? We’re getting milk and that’s it.” — leaves with half the store
Is the kid’s emergency contact AND attends everyone’s PTA meetings.
No, ELIZABETH, He won’t be staying up all night cooking vegan cupcakes for your precious angel. He’s gonna buy them like a normal person.
Mom Stare (tm) that can turn you to stone
Will assign kids chores, complain they don’t do it correctly, proceeds to do it himself, then says no one helps around.
“You’re EXACTLY like your father” “…Are you talking about Scott—“ “of course I’m talking about Scott!”
Kitty wants to learn how to drive. He’s holding that safety handle till his hands get purple. “Check the mirror CHECK THE MIRROR—“ “it’s CHECKED :(( “ “CHECK SOME MORE”
Laura is his baby. Holds her everywhere. Will talk about her 24/7.
“Logan, do you know Bobby’s birthday? I need it for—“ “June 28th, Tuesday, 10:34:03 AM, blood type A, his nurse’s name was Susan, —“
Is in charge of birthday cakes. No one else.
If the kids feel down, or need someone to talk to, he’s got a 6th sense for it. Knocks on their door, Leland’s against the frame with his arm crossed, ‘wanna talk about it’ on his face.
The most insane lore you’ve ever heard
hallooo x men lovers!!!
we have seen the original 5 x-men as teens interact to some extent with other adult x men during schism. how about we see the other x men characters like magneto, charles, rogue, logan , ororo, kurt as teens as well and interact with each other. its happened once, frankly there can't be a reason we can't make it up as fans. So,
in a world far far away, some plot events take place with our reader's sway, poverty, loneliness, money, and society, be the foes our protagonists battle daily, through distress they mastered fineness, some want control, some release but they don't confess, they just play chess (*wink* *wink*) Between great egos and dear fellows, identity crises and self acceptance; it only strengthen both their patience, though different worlds with many ideals do cause undue tensions. i can't think of anything else to add to this unprompted mini poem, sooo, add something in the comments to it or spam me with your ideas too. !!!!!!
possible AU where wolverine is a x men villain at first whose identity is only revealed(partially) to Prof.X, is later recruited to the team by Prof.X for slightly shady reasons unknown to the rest of the x men in exchange for recovering his memories.
*he has learning disabilities/mental illness of some kind
*purposely acts dumb and extra beastly (more growls in his speech other than his natural amount of growls) to be underestimated by them/gain trust to infiltrate X mansion to see if any other shady business going around
hallooo fellow lovers!! i had a silly scene playing in my head
jubilee is 9/12 ish , already kinda attached to logan and rest of the x men but still very bratty and disobedient.
has a moment where most of the x men have tried to coerce her or make her get a bedtime and eat her vegetables because she mostly eats junk food. the're worried she's not getting enough nutrients.
almost everybody has given a shot; logan goes "ah, why the hell not". He tells her a short story when he was a boy her age, something happened yada yada he couldn't eat veggies for years and got hunted/had to survive predators as an adolescent in the good ol' freezing canadian wilderness, hence never had a great sleep schedule. He continues this in complete seriousness and concludes the story by saying that because he didn't eat his veggies and got good sleep he never grew tall, (then in a mournful tone) and that's why he never gets the stuff on the upper shelves. he further says he doesn't want that for jubilee, wants her to become taller and stronger.
at this point jubilee doesn't know logan has any capacity for humor, so she accepts it as the truth. after that she does it instantaneously. rest of the x men are shocked and logan is feeling smug
Besides jubilee has her own motivations now, them being taller and stronger than logan so that one day
she can tease him by keeping everything out of his reach
hold him upside-down by the ankle and shake all his money(for clothes, duh ) out of his pockets (in cartoon-ish fashion) with all his secrets also out of his hair deflating it, letting it succumb to gravity. now with his flat hair logan can't gain extra inches, but she can ( cute evil cartoon laughter in her inner monologue )
i haven't fully thought out what logan's story here would be here, but maybe it could be semi- true , but logan wouldn't know that himself
i'm not sure of jubilee's canon comic age when she met the x men, so this is kinda a headcanon ??
let me know your silly fluffy ideas in the comments :-)
it’s always sunny at the x-mansion
i like this ,but i have a little change in this because i also like the silly vision of logan adapting to technology.
so maybe he was illiterate till the few months leading upto ww1 . some general or leader at the camp recognizes logan's potential even though he might he one of the delinquent soldiers expected to die first because they were illiterate/ kinda dumb (low economic class).
said leader, puts in the effort to teach logan even though logan has un-diagnosed learning disabilities. logan doesn't have much faith 'cuz he had tried before but failed miserably.
the leader somehow succeeds; kind of becomes a role model for logan , logan now has some hope that he can be MORE than what he was before. (from this point forward he does shit, becomes highly qualified soldier, does secret government work--- this is his 'good soldier' era). after ww1 he stays with the leader, leader takes him under his wing, logan ends up pursuing higher education (something useful to make weapons, field stuff maybe chemistry and maths ?)
ww2 comes by this fellow is a secret soldier doing what not. rest of the plot bullshit happens. mindwipes happen, he's with the x men and something like @sniktwolverine described above. this man now has to get his education all over again.
he tries going to school but hates, hates it, even though he freaking lives at one. ultimately all the x men are his teachers for some subject. he even learns some shit from the kids by asking questions.
hell this scene would be so funny/sweet animated
could somebody write a fic or make some art if they feel like it :-)
im a firm believer that logan is completely illiterate. like, he cant read at all, and cant write either. he doesnt have a phone for this reason; everyone thinks hes just being an Old Guy but he genuinely cannot get any of the information being conveyed to him on a phone. no one, not even the telepaths, realize this until hank hands logan a note one day and logan goes, "i cant read this."
and everyone's like, "why?" assuming the handwriting might just be hard to decipher or too small or smudged or something.
and logan says, "i cant read."
it takes three hours for him to convince everyone he's serious
some kid tries to touch his hair cause why not, logan immediately shifts his head away without looking. the kid tries again and again, but logan dodges until he is too uncomfortable with the attempt and hisses and shows the full length of the canines he keeps hidden, with his pupils constricted almost entirely (sort of like a scared animal/ cat). the kid jumps back and logan then slowly and softly says "stop....please...don't do that out of nowhere ....". logan then feels really uncomfortable and walks to some place else.
eventually after a couple of years, when he is more comfortable being around kids in the mansion, he does let them pet his head and play with his hair... only if the politely ask his permission first.
after that, everytime a kid asks to touch his hair he obliges without a thought. he winds up being a practice mannequin for anybody who wants to do braid his hair. he actually likes beads and accessories on his hair if it doesn't pull at his hair.
K back 2 logan:
Him learning to accept hugs. You *cannot* tell me that he isn't touch starved. The man lived in the woods. He was homeless. He was sad.
I feel like he jumps like a cat whenever someone tries to hug him the first few times
logan is a disney princess talking to animals in harmony with nature there's enough proof already
