“Strength is the lot of but a few privileged men; but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time.” Goethe
Yeah, when people use the phrase "threw the first brick at Stonewall", it's in reference to Ms. Johnson.
When are we going to talk about trans mutants? I've already suggested Marrow & Chance as FTM, and some on Twitter suggest Mystique as AMAB. I'm a big fan of the reading of Emma Frost as an MTF surgical masterpiece, but it comes at the price of fan-fave Christian.
I guess we'll have to disagree on the state of mutant activism loll but its for real cool that you actually read that..I'm used to internet discussions being about ear plugging and dismissing instead of legit learning from each other loll I hope that doesn't sound patronizing I genuinely respect + appreciate that energy
God can you imagine if Mystique and Destiny had conceived Kurt as Claremont had initially intended? The concept of gender to a character who can so easily shed their outwards appearances in favour of a new one ... someone should be writing about this rn ! With Destiny potentially back maybe we'll see it
Your Trans!Emma concept has Christian as her compartmentalized/repressed pre-reassignment self right? I honestly love that idea so much
Maybe in an act of radical self-love and acceptance Emma "reanimates" Christian as a psychic projection/extension of herself ? Maybe I'm drifting too far out there lol
The fact that Hickman put in precisely 0 effort to try to show how Dawn of X flowed from the prior continuity is a gigantic problem
This, along with the near-total absence of expected character interactions (given everyone being brought back to life/reunited physically) causes Dawn of X to "feel AU"
Forget the old ways - Krakoa is god.

One More Day was better than the utter joke that are current X-"relationships".
More and more I want the x-men in their universe completly seperate from the rest of marvel that have become increasingly more toxic to the franchise's heatlh, this awkward middle ground where there's this invisble barrier yet its not enforced well enough is maddening.
