X-23 Appreciation Post: My skin has turned to porcelain, to ivory, to steel

[berserkerclaw]

This is actually one of the better lovestories I have read/seen in my life, it is also a great picture made by lovely Miss Takeda, not a single word is uttered, very expressive, very passionate definitely more passionate and expressive than Bella and Sparkleboy

I don't wanna be negative here but there is no love, story here. It's just a good friendship they were forming. And the pick does not suggest a relationship. Jubilee lost control and, momentarily gave in to the bloodlust.

There doesn't have to be an actual love story to be a better love story than Twilight


Run! Run!
Laura playing last (wo)man standing since 2004.

[XCE]

I just made my avatar because I like seeing Laura crack a smile. Does it give off the impression that I enjoyed the scene the art was sourced from? If that's the case I'll need to get a new one as I hate ANXM :p

Hopefully my new avatar is less ambiguous. :D

Haha now that is a good one and that seems fitting for you

Haha, yeah, there was no relationship in the picture, just a hot psuedo-lesbian moment, and it was STILL a better love story than Twilight. That was my point.

Indeed, I concur 100% with you


I don't ship as a rule, because it is wish-thinking that easily hinders and/or destroys the fun I might have reading comics and if I write as if I am shipping, I am usually joking. The most I actually might do, is point out really stupid/unhealthy relationships, for example while Julian may not actually have deserved to be cut off from Laura like she did, nevertheless he is an @ss and only barely deserves the friends he has, much less a beloved he can barely handle on the best of days.

PS: I will never say someone doesn't deserve to have friends, not only because it is horribly inhuman to say that, but also because they can help you change for the better. People who are there for you, listen to you and help you if they can are one thing, to share a sexual relationship and plan/live a life together as a couple is something else entirely. That is something you deserve, something you have to work for, care for and then it may still break apart. That is something one has to learn and Julian, Laura, Jeen, Tyke and so on and so forth, well they are still very young and still very much learning at least I hope so, else they will turn into immature (wo)manchildren

PPS: I am cool with people shipping and don't hate reading the hows and whys other fans might post, it gives me something to think about (thinking on ones own is something I definitely encourage) and gives (hopefully) new insight and thus more fun

Edit: @XCE that is one sweet avatar

So here is cover for ANXM #38 aka Black Vortex part 4



Yep no Laura to be seen or heard of anywhere.

Just like on here



I imagine XCE jumping for joy at the thought of her actually leaving ANXM.

Did anybody ever tell you that your writing style really matches your location?

For my part laura will be missed, but analizing her role in ANXM:
-First her group get's owned like a bunch of amateurs by stryker jr and she gets to see the murderworld footage, yeah?
-Gets most akward hug with tyke, then romatic hug and confort hug
-Has to tag along to rescue jean because it seems that the redhead attracts danger whenever she goes
-Get's outshined in trial by gamora and angela and relegated to background
-Leader leaves, amazing team! and then get's gutted by his brother that no one cares about
-She saves the entire team from charles jr and CO, bunch of incompetent O4 and NXS
-OOC "rebound" with angel
-Gets stuck in UU thanks to jeen incompetence as a leader
-On top of it she can't kill anything because the O4 are a bunch of boyscotts

ANXM was my introduction to X men and X 23 in general, it got me interested in her and I revisited her past runs in different teams. My conclusion is that she wasted her potential in this book and despite liking her a lot and tyke 23 being my fav ship, she will get more spotlight and full use of her abilities in the wolverines ongoing. Maybe she'll miss her all new friends, on the other hand she might miss a secure pass to secret wars since so far it has been established that BB will tie in directly to it.

That is a great summary of her time in ANXM.

Sounds about right...

[Dr.Thunder]

I want Hit girl to play x-23 on the new X-men movie.
I know Chloe Moretz is target to play teen jean but having hitgirl be X-23 would be awesome.

So I just read Black Widow #12 and it looks like Laura made a cameo in it.
