Catherine Sketches

Caitlyn unleashing the Gray back to the undercity and Vi justifying the decision to herself like it’s no big deal, the harm it will cause is a worthy trade for flushing Jinx out as if we, the audience, didn’t see Viktor deteriorate right in front of our eyes BECAUSE of prolonged exposure to that pollution as he grew up.

The people may adapt to the new air conditions sure

And them die from lung failure 10 years later

X-Men!AU where Jean Grey’s “Phoenix force” is actually her very first regeneration triggered by a life or death situation where she and her team were injured and she was 100% going to die when she suddenly burst into flames and turned the bad guys of the week into cinders

The rest of the X-men (after recovering from their shock of seeing their friend quite literally explode in front of them and turn into a completely different, albeit still redheaded, woman) thought that the physical appearance revamp was also part of this new mutation

Not a week later a blue box appears in the middle of the danger room and a man that Logan can swear has two heart beats comes stumbling out looking like he was struck by lightning searching them all with eyes full of disbelief and, strangest of all, hope

(This was inspired by this fanart )

X-men AU where all the Muppets made by Jim Henson are actually mutants

Jim is actually Kermit’s dad. His X gene was dormant as was in most of his kids, until Kermit of course who was… well muppet shape. Later Jim met others that looked a lot like his kid and kinda adopted them into the Muppet family and gave them a place to stay on his workshop as the world was not kind for those that looked a little green. He loved them all with all his heart and they all miss him.

Kermit “The Frog” Henson impact for the mutant acceptance in the world is indescribable and there are many thesis, studies and other research based on his accomplishments (especially at the Xavier’s institute from where he, and most of the Henson’s Muppets as they got know as a group, are alumni)

Sesame Street had Charles Xavier as a guest to introduce the letter X and talk about acceptance and community. He loved every second of it (he was also really proud. They were his students and now they are out there, causing a huge positive impact on the world. He may have cried when the first episode was aired)

Erik respects them a lot. Has many friends among them even. Especially because the Muppets use their influence to help as much as they can. Anti Mutant protests? Suddenly the Electric Mayhem is doing a show a block away loud enough to drown a bomb going off.

Labs doing shady stuff? Beaker and Bunsen are suddenly in you walls and all your equipment are made of rubber now

Miss Piggy will rescue anyone needing help in her general direction with only her karate chops, her purse and a dream and she WILL win.

(They are all invited to their wedding. They may be the only reason Erik and Charles even started talking to each other again. “You are best friends! Friends should talk and be honest with each other. Would you guys try for Elmo?” How could they say no to such a heartfelt suggestion?)

Mutant prejudice is slowly being eroded by them because “how can you hate the muppets? They are just little guys!”

Also extremists have to be really fucking stupid to want to have “the killer of Big Bird” attached to their name and face. Charles Xavier would close his eyes and pretend to not see as Magneto rips you a new asshole

He wouldn’t even be arrested for it. There would be no witnesses for them to make a case of arrest. The first and only time Erik would murder a man in broad daylight and everyone would go “if you see Magneto… no you didn’t”

Omegaverse X-men but the sub gender matches the power level.

Omega gender? Omega Class.

Jean Grey with the powers of a fiery god? Omega

Magneto who can invert the magnetic fields of the earth with a thought? Omega

Ororo Munroe, Storm, Mother Nature come again? Omega

That inadvertently creates a whole new culture in the mutant community because if a mutant comes to you and you can smell a sweet and inviting omega scent the humans may subconsciously think about the omega stereotypes of meekness or emotional instability or how they are only good to taking care of the pups and only an alpha can handle these serious affairs bla bla bla

While the mutants in the room collectively go “shit fuck shit fuck a Matriarch is here!!” and they all start to straighten themselves to both impress (because the matriarch may like you and give you protection in their pack) or make yourself less threatening (because they may hate your vibes on sight and delete you from existence WHO KNOW???)

This brings us to Charles Xavier.

Professor X, who is an Alpha level mutant (depending on the continuity) but is also an Omega Level Telepath (also depending on the continuity)

If he is an Alpha, his and Erik’s divorce has been wrecking the X-men and the Brotherhood packs for nearly 5 decades now (the x-men because they are Matriarchless which is wrecking their whole dynamics over there and their Patriarch is suddenly blind to his ex husband nearly KILLING THE PRESIDENT AGAIN CHARLES OMG?!?! and the Brotherhood because their Matriarch is going ballistic over that bald man for 50 years now and NO DONT LEAVE OUR MISSION TO SAVE YOUR EX WHAT ABOUT OUR GOALS?!?!)

If he is an Omega, the X-Men vs Brotherhood is actually both a divorce (omega/omega marriages are frowned upon but who is stopping them?) and two Matriarchs fighting over who is the better mom, provider and protector for the family (all mutant kind)

In both scenarios they meet once a month to play chess and fuck nasty

(Also as a bonus for the last scenario: Logan is classified as an Alpha level mutant…

Charles and Erik, both Omegas, wanting pups: *see Logan who is strong and capable and caring under all the grumpiness and nearly indestructible* this one will do

Logan, getting levitated by his bones: what

)

In a alternate universe somewhere Charles Xavier meets a man named Fester while he is sent as a little kid to the psych ward by his mother, whose mind is as insane as everyone inside the building but it’s paradoxically the calmest and most fascinating mind he has ever felt in his short life and he learns that he man is there ON VACATION of all things and he realizes that “no I’m not insane the voices are other people’s thoughts” way quicker with Fester’s help and he is kidnapped/adopted into the Addams clan where he and his telepathy flourishes

He comes back to the mansion at some point. Kurt Marko dies of mysterious circumstances. Sharon Xavier is… gently persuaded by a very convincing Morticia to hand over the custody of Charles. Cain and Pugsley become friends somehow and Cain learns the joys of dynamite.

They go live in the Xavier Mansion as a collective family vacation/ family trip/ family acclimation for Charles.

Then one day he meets a blue little girl in the kitchen and knows instantly that her and Wednesday are going to go so well together like a house on fire

And life is good

Than First Class happens and Erik is not ready for Charles Addams Xavier, he just isn’t

Thinking about Charles Xavier, who is simultaneously aware of everyone but at the same time not because if he was himself to the fullest people find him upsetting and rude and nosy

Thinking about his unshakable sense of morality, right and wrong and justice that he formed at the age of 9 and has kept ever since, with modifications along the years but those core values remain

Thinking about how the overstimulation of a thousand voices in his head drove him to self medicate to the point of nearly addiction

Thinking about how he has difficulty reading people when his power is not in use, ending up saying the worst things without meaning to upset no one

Thinking about how everyone should be “mutant and proud” except Charles over there that is too passing to be a mutant but too weird to be a human and simultaneously his mutation, the way his brain is fucking wired, is too inconvenient for everyone around him mutant and human alike to accept

Charles Xavier they would never make me hate you. You and your autism telepathy

I was in the middle of SOMETHING AO3!!!

If the season wasn’t shit, Die With A Smile would have been a great Diego and Lila song

You know what they should have done?

Bring Dolores back, but now as an actual human.

She meets Five, who immediately clocks her as his wife, but now alive… but she isn’t Dolores. Not really. Not HIS Dolores.

But he keeps, even if unconsciously, projecting his Dolores over Human Dolores.

And now Five has to understand that the Dolores that he made (idealized really) in his head at the end of the world and the Dolores that is a living breathing human are as far away from each other as Earth is from Pluto.

They may be similar. Maybe mannequin Dolores had a fraction of Dolores soul that latched itself to the plastic of her favorite mannequin from her work place the day the first apocalypse happened (Klaus could reveal it saying something like “She has your wife’s vibes. Like, she is definitely more complex than Mannequin Dolly was, but they feel very similar in a spiritual sense if you catch my drift”)

She knows him instinctively. But they are virtual strangers.

Then all that shit happens but instead of Lila, it’s Dolores.

Now Five would have seven new years to get to know and fall in love with his wife all over again.

I truly don’t get the people that are saying Helaena was helping Daemon

What she told him was not told in a vacuum (even if they were standing in the void). She comes after he sees all that is to come in the future

Like dude she appears on his weirwood induced acid trip and basically tells him

“Are you aware of the narrative yet?

That our lives are nothing but a play and our fate is already sealed? We have been dead from the moment we were born because a man with a beard and little hat said so in 2018.

Are you ready to shoulder the fact that you are but a single part on the history of an orphan girl 172 years ahead of us?

That our only job is to create the foundation for the conditions that would allow her to perform a miracle under the red comet so far away from her home?

*has a glimpse of the vision Daemon just had* oh so you are aware. Good.

Play your part.”

With the Gravity Falls renaissance happening right now, my brain created something by mashing an old hyper fixation with a new hyper fixation

House of the Dragon dir Alex Hirsch

We follow Maester Gyldayn on his research for Fire and Blood.

He just ended gathering information for the first third of the book (The conquest to Alysanne and Jaehaerys reign) and now he is gearing up for the second parte, the bloody part:

The Death of the Dragons. Time to research the dance.

We follow him through the libraries of the Citadel. Each new page has new information… but from account to account the story changes. The scene plays again for us as Gyldayn opens a new account of the same event

He is not satisfied with only the archives of the Citadel, he wants the personal records. What did the families of the people have to say? What did the people alive during the dance leave behind for their descendants?

So there goes Gyldayn. To the High Tower, to Kingslanding, to Drifmark. A small stay in Essos, some stops along the way to other lords castles, the maester’s of said castles having some tea with him as they speculate.

It’s light hearted journey for the old Maester but something… something is not right. He doesn’t know what it is but since he started the research there has been a feeling on the back of his neck. Eyes that he can’t see watching him from the dark as he sleeps.

Probably just his imagination.

Storms End, The Stepstones, The Gullet, Dragonstone.

The intensity of this fantom stare increases.

He goes to Harrenhal

The walls whisper him things at night. There are weird symbols carved on the bed that was said to be the one Prince Daemon rested upon on his brief stay to the old ruins of Harren’s hubris.

He is plagued by hallucinations. It must be the mold on the stone, surely?!

He can’t sleep without dreaming, he can’t walk down the halls without seeing things on the corner of his eye. The small part of the man that still was superstitious, even after years of of studying to better understand the natural world, couldn’t shake the feeling that Harrenhal was truly haunted.

At least the young maiden that worked at the kitchens was kind to him in his times of confusion. She could give him sound advice as a resident of the castle. Good company despite her… eccentricities.

But he would not question her much about it. It was bound to happen, he rationalized. Sharing a name with a famous bastard while being a bastard yourself must impact ones girlhood.

What a clever but strange girl was this Alys Rivers.

People talk “Book Rhaenyra” this and “Book Jace” that and “Book Aemond would never” and “Book Aegon didn’t do this” or “Book Alicent didn’t have the spine of a chocolate eclair” and “these events didn’t happen like that in the book” and I’m like

Babe, Book Anyone are not reliable

Gyldayn is pulling from a source from a source from a source SEVERAL years removed!

“In the book it happens like this” says who? Who was inside that room? So help me Lin Manuel Miranda NO ONE was in the room where it happened to most of the events

The series is not even the real version of events! It is just another retelling! The moment Alicent and Rhaenyra became close in age we should have known

Mushroom, Orwyle, Munkun, Eustace and now Condal

You know what would be really fucking funny? The end of the series is just Condal in a Maester costume closing a book titled “House of the Dragon: The Story of the Dance” and it just ends.

It’s just ends like that!!!

May Apollo’s dodgeball miss me but it would be so fucking funny

Jace truly is young Rhaenyra come again

Your parents are married but one of them can’t give the other children

Then the one that can’t give children die, taking with them a chunk of the security you had

The remaining parent remarry and now has, in the eyes of the lords if it comes to it, more legitimate sons

Your parent is so sure that your status as heir is safe because they said so and your inheritance pass through them by blood and words

But unlike young Rhaenyra, Jace is currently living on the “find out” era from Viserys “fuck around” reign and he can see the writing on the wall that his mom, Viserys 2.0, can’t in all her cult leader “Targaryen exceptionalism” blindness

If Rhaenyra wins, becomes queen and all that, I want to know what her plan is for the future since she gave giant dragons to two people she doesn’t know personally that can betray her and that look more Valyrian than her son (Hugh do be looking a lot like old king Jae over there) simultaneously creating even more speculation about her son and giving these guys a “hey maybe I can put forward myself to be king! I’m as Valyrian as they are clearly!”

Like what is the plan? What can she do to secure his future when she die?

Because if it’s not 100% effective, it will be this song and dance all over again

The crown may pass by her blood line, not Laenor’s, but I’m pretty sure that the lords, who think bastards are saveges, dishonest and vile, will not give a singular fuck

Because Jace knows that even with no proof that he is a bastard (no one was there to see him being conceived and even if he knows his father is Harwin Strong he can still try to lie his way through. Baratheon blood, Arryn blood, all the classics) the lords will see him as one and that will be enough for his entire life to be in jeopardy.

If he survives to see that happen, of course

I’m manifesting Aemond going inside the council room only to find Aegon sitting there on the head of the table playing with the marble orb that his brother gave him

“Thank you, brother, for all your efforts. But I think I shall preside over the council today”
