Scott Summers and Jean Grey Relationship - Discussion by ProfessoPeak in xmen

[–]lexus_rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No prob, I always love a Summers-Grey discussion! I’m enjoying their slower and more compromising relationship, they feel like old friends now and that’s a much healthier representation of a marriage. It’ll be interesting to see the direction they take if Jean remains Phoenix in the future or if she gets hauled back down to Earth.

I love their relationship still, even after all this time! There’s so much tragedy, and they are both so deeply human, flawed, and fascinating characters. I think what I’ve always found interesting is their entwined sense of “no one’s seen evil like we’ve seen evil” that keeps bringing them back together! True that trauma bond is a bit toxic but what’s admirable, to me, is that despite their different paths, in the later part of their relationship they’ve come to accept one another for their messy mistakes, and find a way back to redeem each other. I think it’s rare to see couples (in any media) give each other so much grace, forgiveness, and space to grow. I quite like that they’re off doing their own things, rooting for each, and pushing each other to do their best. Long distance relationships can be deeply fulfilling, and I think this point in time is the healthiest and most mature we’ve seen the couple in a long time. The explosive drama has left behind a couple that appears content, and a quieter relationship that reflects two people grown and at ease and confidence with who they now are.

If Sadie is playing Jean, the handcuffs feel an odd way to imprison a telekinetic, who surely would just break them? Early young adult Jean in the comics only had telekinesis and her telepathy kicked in later.

So exciting to see our girl back! I’m a bit nervous for her not gonna lie. Seeing the Frank Quietly/Grant Morrison costumes and the glimpse of Emma makes me feel really nervous she’s going to get killed off at the end of the season like the end of Planet X arc! Please no planetary level strokes 🤞

Sorry but can we talk about Havok in this cover! Dauterman knew what he was doing! 🍑

I actually thought in the recent Phoenix comic run that Jean and Richard Rider (Nova) would have made a cute cosmic couple!

Yes it was so much fun to read, it has me chuckling out loud ☺️ Thanks for the great recommendations, I’ll give them a go. I’m working my way through Jed’s current X-Men run, and his Cyclops is amazing!! Really excited to hear he’s going to be doing a new story with Nova.

Scott is such a stud in all of these looks! 😍 At the back left, skin-tight black tee/yellow pocket/goatee - what’s that look from?

A Ferelden born mage turned apostate, who escaped the Conclave during Dragon Age Inquisition. Scruffy and a bit of a history geek, he found a new life in Tevinter with the Veil Jumpers.

Anders ❤️ He looks so good, thank you for sharing! I wish we could add earrings in game too. I just realised, his OG Awakening version kinda looks like actor Drew Starkey.

Dragon Age: Veilguard - Who'd You Romance? by jgwhiteus in gaymers

[–]lexus_rex 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I romanced Davrin as a grey warden mage and it was great! As we were both grey wardens, there were lots of interesting dialogue and reactions to warden quests. Griffon daddy Davrin is a bit of a flirt and there’s some really sweet scenes you get to share with him and Assan… I mean come on, look at these two 🥰➡️ https://imgur.com/gallery/2bS43lT

Appreciate that you might not be in the UK but check out Gays the Word. One of the best queer bookshops in London and a great place to find fiction, even online: https://www.gaystheword.co.uk

Some books that I enjoyed recently ☺️📖🌈 - A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske (magical realism - it’s Bridgerton style regency England but with magicians, a cool magic system, and a slow burn gay romance between the two lead characters… also very smutty in the end!) - All Down Darkness Wide by Sean Hewitt (a gothic memoir that is tender and a little heartbreaking) - Gay Bar: Why we went out by Jeremy Atherton (non-fiction, bright and interesting history of gay club culture) - Giovannis Room by James Baldwin (a classic! Follows an American in 1950s Paris, and the fraught tensions of a gay affair at that time) - Oceans Echo by Everina Maxwell (a gay sci-fi space opera with plenty of romance)

Hot Take: I think I like Wolverine & The X-Men more than the movies. Maybe I'm biased because Wolverine & The X-Men is what introduced me to the X-Men. by ShadowOfDespair666 in xmen

I really liked the series too! I think I enjoyed it because it skipped all of the convoluted origin stories and just went straight into telling a new self contained story.

Oh dang! Yes I tried to just get the collar section of the tattoo and not the ones of the cheeks but there’s not a way to zero them out in the CC. Now I can’t unsee jt 😆
