OTHER STUFF: Lines?

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Additionally - do we want to keep comments on character stuff/lines in a separate section so people can continue to edit their character blurbs? If so we can use this?? idk

randomly i want to give teenage jean a get-out-of-my-school crush on emma to close the bad crush loop and i'm just imagining her frantically tabbing through 6000 universes looking for one where she's gay and coming up short

Re: OTHER STUFF: Lines?

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

apdsignads I LOVE the get-out-of-my-school crush

Re: OTHER STUFF: Lines?

[totalities marvel girl]

there was a 0% chance she wasn't going to be a huge freak at emma in this set-up so i'm just leaning in

Re: OTHER STUFF: Lines?

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

I can't believe Jean has 1.5 gay alt universe children and you're not going to give her one universe where she's gay

Re: OTHER STUFF: Lines?

[totalities marvel girl]

there is one where scott is genderswapped but she didn't count it

Lines: Kitty

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

I'm stealing Rin's idea and just putting this here if u wanna talk about lines thank you Rin

Re: Lines: Kitty

[blauerdamon kurt wagner ⚔️ nightcrawler]

Pirate friends?

Re: Lines: Kitty

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

I have NO idea what Emma thinks of Kitty besides: oh a little nerd, cute. Maybe hates her fashion, depending on how bad it is lmfaooo

ALSO I know that when Kitty is phased she has some resistance to telepathy (but appears to still be affected by telepathic illusions??), which Emma will find interesting if you want to use those things (the argument is her consciousness is spread across realities lmao)

Lines: Manuel

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

Well! I guess if all the cool kids are doing it...

Here to talk about lines~

Re: Lines: Manuel

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Putting this here so we don't forget, Emma and Manny have a huge fight sometime in 2017 and for a week, make it everyone else's problem before they make up 😌

Re: Lines: Manuel

[blauerdamon kurt wagner ⚔️ nightcrawler]

We've talked about this but Manuel has a front seat to all of Kurt's extreme enthusiasm and also all of his existential emotional struggles :) The volume on him is always turned up to 11 and Kurt hates that he can't hide his negative feelings from Manny

Also sometimes he hooks up with Manny's bff

Re: Lines: Manuel

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

I think Kitty would actually like him a lot though possibly pretends she does not when it so fits. Adores making her brain intangible in his presence. Some would argue she should have a tangible brain more frequently. She was actually really smad when he left/wouldn't go public. Did a punch and hug on return kinda situation. (Typical)

LINES: Scott

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

blooping down a comment

Re: LINES: Scott

[blauerdamon kurt wagner ⚔️ nightcrawler]

Kurt is probably constantly trying and failing to get Scott to take it easy. This task is sisyphean. His little brother is going to burn out by 30.

Re: LINES: Scott

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

Emma both tortures and babies Scott. Also please know her eyes absolutely rolled out of her head when she saw Madelyne lmfaooooo. She immediately called Manny to be annoyed.

Re: LINES: Scott

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

Scott's the sort of uptight/socially awkward that Manuel can't help but want to mess with or try nudge out of his comfort zone. It's all in good fun, honest. That said, he'll ultimately follow Emma's lead when it comes to Scott most of the time. Are we dragging him somewhere to broaden his horizons? Are we making nice because of Emma's crush? Are we teasing him about Madelyne? Whatever, he's down.

Despite their (many) differences, they're both control freaks because of the lack of control they have over their powers and they're both driven by a need to prove their value, so I think he feels some sort of reluctant kinship with Scott. :| But he doesn't know what to do with that.

Re: LINES: Scott

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

i've said this to u already but yes, hello to scoot, her best friend in the wide world. (Ok actually I think secretly values his dedication to work because it keeps her sharp and active but would never validate those obsessive tendencies by mentioning this with her mouth)

Re: OTHER STUFF: Lines?

[blauerdamon kurt wagner ⚔️ nightcrawler]

Kurt developed a crush on Emma when she saved him from the Morlocks and she's been a curse on him ever since

Re: OTHER STUFF: Lines?

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

RIP to Kurt, this is truly a curse :)

She loves this though, people having crushes on her at any point in time only make her stronger

LINES: Jean Grey

[totalities marvel girl]

hello i am late to the party but if we haven't talked yet let's

Re: LINES: Jean Grey

[frost_queen Emma Frost ♕ White Queen]

hiiiiii ♥

OK Actual response:
I imagine Emma and Jean have an interesting relationship asdpignasidg Emma has peeked into her mind a million times (if you're ok with this) and has seen a lot of what Jean has seen re: other realities, which is weird and she's not super fond of it. But she keeps doing it (again, if you're ok with it lmfao). Is very jealous of her telekinesis. Ends up with a crush on Scott which further complicates their relationship. All of this creates a strange sort of competitiveness with Jean in Emma's mind, but she tries to push that aside because she knows it's silly.

That being said, there's no way Emma isn't very attached to and protective of Jean.

Re: LINES: Jean Grey

[passingthru KITTY PRYDE]

ok we Have talked but best friends Kitty Loves her and is So selfishglad she's back at least for now.

Re: LINES: Jean Grey

[empata Manuel de la Rocha (Empath)]

Hello! We haven't talked! And we should because I'm v curious about how these two interact. :o Fundamentally, they're about as different as people can be when it comes to like...moral core, since Jean is all about empathy and helping other mutants and Manuel struggles to genuinely connect with people, mutant or otherwise. (Most of the exceptions to that rule are folks he knows from Xavier's, ofc.) From his end, I do think he's fond of Jean and he probably does view her in that annoying kid sister sort of way you mentioned in her writeup, particularly when/if she tries to get into his business. He respects her overachiever energy (because it's something they share) and her willingness to strike out on her own/do her own thing, but does think her good nature is wasted on most people.

On the multiversal awareness front, Jean probably knows that the vast majority of Manuel de la Rochas out there are....just so much worse than this one. Not all necessarily straight-up villains, but certainly not running with the X-Men anywhere but here. Don't know if that changes her interactions with this one, but hey! An interesting footnote for her! Apparently all that effort Charles put in wasn't a total waste.

For more recent stuff, they were both captured and used on Genosha, which could've led to some new kinship or something...until Manny went and got Emma to remove the experience from his memory. Depending on if they connected at all during that time, that could be something interesting for us to dig into.

Anywho, my initial thoughts! Take or leave any of them and I'm always down to gab.

Re: LINES: Jean Grey

[blauerdamon kurt wagner ⚔️ nightcrawler]

Kurt adores Jean, she has so much fire, keep bullying that middle aged man. Especially in the past she was out there saying the things he wanted to but couldn't because Xavier needed Kurt to be an ideal leader, and Kurt desperately wanted to be liked by the public. He's quietly grateful she's stayed with the X-Men even though she's gotten invitations to join the Brotherhood. He's also close with Erik at this point so he understands the pull, but he's always been Charles' kid.

He's also basically Scott's older brother so this is the girl Scott has a crush on and he's like oof good luck Scott. Thought they were finally dating when those pics of Scott and Madelyne hit the group chat.

Kurt's protective of all the younger team members and babies them a little even though they're all adults now.
