In case you've missed it so far, [personal profile] ishtar79 has made a series of picspam posts about the History of the Charles / Erik relationship through the main comic continuity; with the addition of her priceless snarky commentary. Because their slashiness goes way back. It's really fucking awesome and you should not miss it.
Post 1, Post 2, Post 3, Post 4, Post 5.

While I'm at it, let me also link to [profile] alara_r Ship manifesto for Charles/Erik. It's a little be dated (from 2004) but is a good summary of the different continuities/canons as well as a great analysis of the characters and their relationship. Her idiol_reflection essay on Magneto is also worth checking out (although similarly dated).

Gaaah, it's like my flist is conspiring or something.

(I already have TWO big, sprawling ridiculous canons. TWO. And one of them even has a 'If only you'd see' pairing of friends gone enemies filled with UST and ANGST and BETRAYAL and really bad fashion choices.)

XD The thing is, I've always kinda shipped Xavier/Magneto and now there's a short canon and I LOVE that kind of pairing but I'm already in the middle of a Doctor/Master-centric marathon of Doctor Who andandand but the pretty and the angst and the collars ;_;

It's so weird to see a pairing I love suddenly surge in popularity. Good! But weird.

It kind of helps me that it's a totally different Charles and Erik, so most of my precious fanon is safe, and I can explore this sort-of new pairing unaffected. But yeah, still. It's weird to see 'high-school AU!' type prompts being filled. High school AUs were never an option!

Merci pour le lien vers le ship manifesto !

Pour ce qui est du récapitulatif, je dois avouer que je ne l'ai pas lu jusqu'au bout, le "snarky commentary" était trop souvent du character bashing à mon goût.

... ah? J'étais pas d'accord avec tout ce qu'elle disait, même il ne me semblait pas que ça allait jusque là?

Hum, pas systématiquement, mais le bashing de Scott était tellement violent que ça m'a mise mal à l'aise alors que je ne l'aime même pas.

Oh, oui, et quelques autres endroits avec lesquels je n'étais pas d'accord, effectivement. Parler de "truly spectacular lack in judgment" pour quelqu'un qui est révélé après avoir été sous influence mentale à ce moment fait l'effet de quelqu'un qui n'a pas lu les bouquins depuis longtemps, par exemple. ^^ (ou alors c'est pour ne pas spoiler ?)

ah oui, Scott, effectivement, il s'est fait pas mal bashé.

*rire* elle l'a dit elle même qu'elle a rattrapé bcp de truc en pas longtemps et du coups sa mémoire sur certain truc est confused.

J'ai dû rater l'avertissement, distraite par les jolis scans. ^^

Au fait, tu as reçu mon MP ?

Sorry for jumping in, but I'm sorry if my Scott comments came off as violent character bashing, I was actually shooting for irreverence. Scott is not my favourite, but I honestly don't hate any current X-Men characters.

And as for the rest of the comments, I wasn't going for in depth analysis, just illustrating the slashiness for (primarily) non comic book readers.

I replied in English because while my French might still be good enough for reading comprehension, I shudder to think how many spelling mistakes I'd make if I wrote it.

I'm sorry if I hurt you. I guess I'm a little too sensitive about character bashing sometimes. ^^
But thanks a lot for putting together all these scans! There were a few I had never seen! (I think I would have added one or two panels from Secret Wars, too)

LOL, don't worry about it, definitely no hurt feelings, that was fairly mild as far as online criticism is concerned.

And yeah, I considered Secret Wars, but the scan I have of that is especially bad and blurry, so I physically didn't feel up to reading the whole thing.

Yeah, the comments are hilarious, but I keep seeing the photobucket thingie instead of images. I guess I'll check if it works on firefox.

Okay, NOW they are working.
