reblog if you believe fanfics are as valid as books that were published and sold by authors who write as their main careers. I'm trying to prove a point

A bond like that makes you believe there are only two of you on the planet.

This man is crazy as hell😭

There is something about this X-men 97' scene that cracks me up.

This scene where Scott falling out of a plane and slowing his landing using his optic blasts is brilliant - absolute proof we are finally getting a perfect Cyclops on screen. But there is something so funny to me about... how did Cyclops learn he could do that?

Because that is not a skill he can practice by jumping from 5 meters up into a foam pit. He needs to be thousands of feet in the air, jumping off a plane or a cliff. Which means at some point, Scott Summers had a very serious conversation with one on the X-men who can fly about him jumping out of the jet without a parachute and to catch him if it looks like it's going wrong.

Jean: Scott, what exactly do you mean by going wrong?

Cyclops: Only if it looks like I'm about to die. But I'll get more upward force the closer I am to the ground so I'll need time... if I'm still at terminal velocity 10 feet up, then you catch me. Good?

Jean: ...NO!

Well, either that or they do the usual X-men 'let's find out if he can fly' training regime:
