I love how, without fail, every Logan finds a child to father
I thought Morphs feelings were supposed to be unrequited...
Logan is so in love with them it's actually gross

X-Men Twitter is making me lose my sanity. It's really surprising how many bigoted, stupid, and toxic people there are in this fandom.
They tell such lies about the characters that you won't believe.
If it weren't for the fanart pages, I would have deleted it completely.
I'm just gonna drop these here and run. 😁😁😁
He's sooo pretty here. 😅🥰
erik's self-harm is exploding in rage to the point of his own detriment
charles's self-harm is being selfless to the point of his own detriment
*drop mic
Seeing some of these seemingly X-Men fans on TikTok makes me want to say things that a self-respected, dignified lady should never say.
They also consider themselves very smart.
"Oh let me tell you about this retconed thrown out one time thing this charcter did 40 years ago. You are too naive and stupid to judge for yourself and you don't have eyes to go and have never read comics for yourself. I can't undrestand this character motives and he was mean to my favorites so you should hate him. And if you don't, I'm gonna bully you."

He's just so pretty, I have said it before and will again and again.
I always found Cyclops' beef with Gambit in the original series very hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣
This meme but with Charles and Gladiator.
Lilandra looking at Deathbird like: Would you shut up? I'm trying to listen!
Jean first in my heart. Your courage allowed you to see things no other human ever has, yet remain the same innocent child I met so very long ago.
This episode broke my heart... 💔😭
Animation: X-Men the Animated series, S5 Ep10
My Cherik headcanon (based on canon):
Charles's bedtime does not exist at all. That man sleeps when his body can no longer stay awake. And for this, he doesn't even have to be in bed, behind the desk, on the sofa, on his wheelchair, he sleeps anywhere. He quickly wakes up at the slightest sound and is 100% awake.
Erik on the other hand, sleeps like a bear in hibernation. It took ages for him to fall asleep but when he does there is no awaking him. The only thing that can wake him up is his own nightmares and attempted murder. (In canon, he was having a nightmare once and he made his bed fly and went out the window, but he didn't wake up, his girlfriend had to save him And once someone wanted to kill him in his sleep at night and he woke up quickly)
My attempt to humanize Lilandra Niramani using AI. I tried different styles.
Not exactly how I imagined a human Lilandra🤦♀️. But she is still beautiful. especially the last one. She is most like Lilandra.
" I sacrificed my powers so that I could sleep..." 😭

I saw this on Qura about Professor X's character assassination in modern days comics and it fits perfectly:
it's pure character assassination. They've played with this idea before where Xavier's suppressed desires run amok for a while making him evil, or like Onslaught, the writers use the first excuse to make him an outright villain and plot device for "Heroes Reborn". Even Wolverine renaming the school the "Jean Grey School for Higher Learning" is one of the methods of trying to replace Xavier or rewrite his place in the hierarchy or question who is more 'saintly'. But when push came to shove the wheel would turn back because what actually sells (and is popular) is the classic, wheelchair-bound, parental, wise, and caring Professor Charles Xavier. I think they do this in these comics now because comics are dying, and the current writer wants these classic characters parroting their own thoughts and beliefs... even if it becomes the character's epitaph.
Honestly, modern writers DO NOT know how to try to build up a character or idea without tearing something down. And Xavier is always an awesome target because the ideal he stood for when originally created, (just like you pointed out in your answer) is one that ideologically is being opposed by today's progressives. There is no fight for equality, there is only ever varying levels of power and the struggle to have more. Having a straight white male who is a benevolent father figure to the wayward lost souls and moral center to an adoptive family unit is out of the question for modern writers. If you want to destabilize and re-write something in your own image, you attack the root, and Professor Charles Xavier is the root of the X-Men.
This whole story is WAY out of character for Xavier, but in their defense, I would say ever since Krakoa, each writer writes the characters as how they want to interpret the character. And this isn't the first character they've assassinated, including Moira McTaggert. Today, there is no Jim Shooter anymore trying to wrangle the whole bullpen and fighting the writers on bad ideas. (And to be fair, not all of his ideas were good and the writers fought him plenty, but the writers at the time were outstanding pros with long track records of great stories, not twitter account holders on their first comic who were given a job based on their race or sexuality).
When you stop knowing how to make great new characters, (heroes and villains alike), then you're stuck trying to reinvent the characters you have. That's been X-Men's problem for almost the last 20 years; when they make new characters, they're not really good and no one really cares. That leaves using the current stable... over and over and over again.
I once wondered what subject each of the X-Men teach at Xavier School. For a long time, Cyclops had occupied my mind and I could not find a lesson topic that would suit his character. Then one day I looked at the Wikipedia page and learned that:
Scott Summers teaches geometry in addition to self defense. Now no one can come and tell me that this man does not live for geometry. Just look at him:
I can completely imagine that when Charles was dividing the teaching subjects between his X-Men, Scott went to his office two days ago, put both his hands on the desk and said in his strongest tone: Either you'll let me teach geometry or I will riot.
Do you wanna guess what topic gambit teaches?🤣😁
The X-Men by Tyler Cairns in a dazzling set of pieces inspired by X-Men: The Animated Series, which ran from 1992-1997 as part of the Fox Kids Saturday morning cartoon block. I am definitely excited about the Disney Plus announcement of X-Men ‘97 as sequel to the classic series!
Erik: you hurt me...
Charles: as you did me. So many times...
This scene hits different when you realise that in this universe Erik was the one that paralyzed Charles...
X-men' 97, Ep 10
Magneto want to attract the attention of Professor X and he put a good amout of thinking on how to do that. In the end he attacks a chemical plant and while everything is on fire and everyone is running away screaming, he just floats there and all he think of is:
I don't understand this man....

Me after seeing ani-Xavier comment and videos on tik tok made by people who obviously never read a comic in their life:
This has happened at least once!
