I make logan the man I want him to be
Next: mutism
It’s probably involuntary. But I hc that he goes mute during times of great emotional stress, reduced to more grunts and grumbles, like he's used to in the wild.
It leads to his friends thinking he's kind of an ass at the start, because as soon as arguments start he just
Shuts down. In his mind, refusing to make eye contact and looking up (baring his throat) and grunting means he’s letting them win the argument, agreeing with them
Suffice to say, it takes a while before they learn that Logan’s just trying to de-escalate the situation. It takes a few harsh arguments and shouting for it to come to light though
i know that a common aspect people explore in the wolverine comics is like. him holding back from his bloodlust and need for violence. but I create what i want to see in the world:
The base instinct of people is Empathy. Animals have empathy. It was the first sign that we as humans…became human.
So I prefer to explore his innate belief that violence is all he’s capable of. That his hands are cursed, rough, painful. He’s not a good man, but he cares so much. I want people to KNOW how much he cares.
Show the tears, show the self inflicted pain. Show the messy, emotional side to believing your whole life that no one loves you.
They all love what you can do. And you learn to scrape their compliments (their love) off the floor, avoiding the underhanded comments about his idiocy about his bluntness. All so he can pretend, for one moment, that he matters.
I also know that the x men can be dicks sometimes but i wanna redeam them so they get to be standoffish pricks that eventually learn how to be nice and realize that our boy needs therapy and a hug i am. making myself cry it's not late enough for this gd
