No and you couldn't pay me to involve Jean.

Do you know why Charles actually started building the X-men around me?

snikthatch: (x-men; found family)

pretty sure it was because a bunch of you got attacked by a big plant

CW: suicidal ideation.

Sort of. There wasn't an 'us' at the start.

I truly believe that he wanted to save mutants and to make us be seen as... better, or useful, to humanity, rather than just a threat.

But the reason he sent me out initially and put me in a leadership position had nothing to do with any ability on my end. He was just trying to keep me from slitting my own throat.
snikthatch: (explaining; c'mon now)

I know.

You've built a good thing, here, in spite of the shit. I'm proud of you. I am glad you have it. I am relieved you have it. I will fight like hell, refrain from fighting like hell, and/or knock you down to your ass when you need that pressure off because I want you to keep it.

Hell, I'll even provide shitty parenting advice.

But that's about as responsible as I can get: responsible for you being responsible for everyone else.
.

snikthatch: (look; gotta be kidding)

so that's all it takes for you to give up? me staying in one place for a goddamn year and a half?

You think having built what you have here is giving up?
snikthatch: (look; say again)

[personal profile] snikthatch 2022-05-12 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I think you saying you don't want to be responsible for anything is giving up

but I guess it's too much to ask for history not to repeat itself when it comes to you doing whatever the hell you want

Fine. We'll toss out the not having to be whatever it is people want me to be. I didn't buy that, anyway.

You want Cyclops? You've got him.
snikthatch: (wounded; smoking is bad for your health)

go screw yourself, Summers

No thanks, I have a couple of people ahead ahead of me in line. Delegation.

I will go check in on your kid, though, so you can get busy setting up your next punishment orgy or whatever the hell that was.

Anyway, the important part is still what you didn't want to hear: Pretend not to care.
