I do pay attention ,definitely , to me you can see that that writing was very crafty but I read that Logan's 'Who can say no to that' was about Jean in a bikini because it was Logan's initial train of thought, when he heard Scott talk about the speedo he just said 'heh' , in the context it seemed like he took it as a joke hence the little laugh but he wasn't following Scott's interjection , he was following his own Jean in a bikini train of thought. Also in hindsight with the benefit of Xforce issues we know Logan is an avid surfer so his mind may be thinking of a surfing challenge with Scott. Either way it didn't strike me as gay even during the initial reading because that very issue had people talking about hair suggesting something when in fact it was either a simple bro tip or if there was anything suggestive it was about Jean's hair that kept each of them warm if they did share her and the obvious hint was it is never in a three way but piecemeal
I think we've seen Scott flirt with Logan more than with Emma in the Krakoa era.
Scott and Logan have been competitive and I don't see anything like BST or whatever the hell it is a cue for. I don't buy that each of them being or having been with a telepath , there is no hint of bisexuality by Jean's observation or thought gleaning from either of them..I haven't read that Evil Jean issue but then I don't expect anything less from an evil version of Jean so I'd take that with a pinch of salt.

Almost spilled my coffee (with milk) LOL
In my work there is a square love triangle and it is much more exciting than the bait on x-books. Really waiting on next chapter. It could have been a Pentagon but...
I thought it was a joke. It can be take as queerbait too, as many people are buying the joke.
I think we are too late to consider queerbait as some representation.There is full on tet representation winning mainstream awards like Pose and Euphoria.
I think it is funny how fanfic changes the way people read things. Usually people not liking each other is just that. But fanfics and shipping transform any tension into sexual tension.
I think it always made sense to Scott and Logan to be on opposite side and have some problems, they are clearly polar opposites.

Eh, there's not much precedent for Krakoa being able to poop out teleporters or Goldballs 'gold balls' being organic spheres or Moira being a mutant or Empath being a blonde, but here we are.
Just one of many, many changes to what we've 'known to be true' in the past that makes this era different.
I don't even know if the goldballs being an egg is that much of a retcon or if at all, because it's not like anyone ever actually studied those things before. Ditto Krakoa being able to do that stuff, is just nobody had explored it's capacities before.
Also, couldn't Empath just, you know, dye his hair?
He could, but it might take a little extra effort to bleach his skin and dye his brown eyes blue.
(That said, Krakoan resurrection, he could come back a black woman next time!)
Being contrary, I wanted Goldballs to just expand upon and develop his power and create bigger and harder balls, and be able to poit them out at speed, or by the hundreds, so fire them like a spray of bullets or larger singular cannonballs, or surround himself with a giant one as a defense, or create a ginormous one to roll down a hill at enemies like something out of Indiana Jones.
The notion that this 'silly, useless' power could turn out to be kind of awesome and effective, amused me. (Because I am exactly that MF always trying to roller-skate uphill.)
I suppose even post retcon into organic protein stuff, it could be practically useful even skipping a resurrection-thing, in that they might be *edible,* in which case he might be able to feed thousands, depending on how many he can create, how nutritious they are, etc.
Alternately, for either version, he was shown in the past sort of popping them out of his body, but perhaps he could train to manifest them at range, say, appearing around someone's foot, or gun-hand, or even head or entire body? Even an organic one made of muscle and possibly bone is going to be hard to break free from, and one of the metallic-looking ones, much more so!
