X-Men Remix 2022

It’s time again to check in with fandom on interest this year for X-Men Remix. There will not be a main Remix Exchange this year (unless I get overwhelming response to this post :D) and instead we will be focusing on just Remix Madness for a longer duration (4 weeks instead of 3). 

Please specify which timing works best if you are interested in Remix Madness. Your feedback is greatly appreciated:

May 15-June 15

June 1-June 30

For those unfamiliar with this Fandom Challenge, please visit last year’s X-Men Remix Madness 2021 page for more information.

Please signal boost thanks!

I have never met a ship that fits the "you should be addicted to shutting the fuck up" "you want to fuck me so bad it makes you look stupid" dynamic as perfectly as Arthur and Eames

i came across that one tweet which said long haired Edgeworth would look like that one Pegasus dude from Yu-gi-oh! so yeah here you go. Bratworth for no particular reason tho.

anyway i read Pegasus' wiki and apparently they are both overly formal grown ass men who hyperfixate on supposedly kid shows???

Embrace your Italian heritage

I just look up Ambrosius and Ballister's swords since I am not the most well versed in weaponry and all, and guess what, even the swords has parallels going on too. I don't know if anyone pointed this one out but it is really interesting, not much foreshadow but fun anyway. Eh, spoilers warning if you haven't finished Nimona yet, go watch it pls its scrumptious.

Im gonna start with Ambrosius'. His sword is called an estoc, a stabby sword. Nice pointy tip right there, ready to skewer through amours right. And with Bal, we have a chonky, chop-chop broad sword with sharp sides and a triangular looking tip. Suitable to cut through, as opposed to the estoc. They are, once again, the polar opposite of eachother.

But it does not end there. In the course of the movie, these two swords were at least once used with completely opposite intention. The elegant estoc was used to disarm Bal, while the broad sword was used to stab through Nimona as Ambrosius! And the fact that it was used on both of them (well, supposedly)! My oh my this movie is incredible.

i only come up with holiday art ideas after the fact

Fire Emblem gets given a dirty hand in Tiger and Bunny. She doesn't seem to mind being misgendered so I suspect her pronouns are she/he, however she gets that typical homophobic anime treatment where her being queer (or a flamboyant gay man, as depicted in the series) has her sexually harassing other characters and it feels so frustrating to see.

My response to this isn't to shun Nathan, instead I decided pretty early on that she was my favourite Hero, and I think the movie that features her accepting her past is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT and beautiful. I will love even bad depictions of us, because sometimes that's all we have.

I remember what was done to Grell in the anime of Kuroshitsuji, and I still adore Grell to this day.

note: I love both of these anime dearly AND feel comfortable voicing my criticisms of them without needing to throw the whole thing out, because I have a functioning brain.

Moira and her damned roommates

my neighbours must be having rlly good bang

The only relationship I've watched in anime that has absolutely convinced me that big age gaps can work out romantically is the one between Barnaby Brooks Jr and Kotetsu T Kaburagi in Tiger and Bunny.

12 years age gap. Barnaby is 23 and Kotetsu is 35. They're literally the newest rookie and the oldest veteran in the hero scene. And you can say "they are not canon" as if the creators hadn't gone out of their way to state that they pretty much don't care how you interpret it, a romantic reading of their relationship is as valid as anything else.

Their respect for each other? Their partnership? They're both treated as grown ass men on the same level.

Somehow Kotetsu can call Barnaby a "cute little bunny" and still he never reduces Barnaby to a naive child who doesn't know a thing about life. Kotetsu treats Barnaby like a man, a professional. He never infantilizes Barnaby for his trauma or his past. He helped Bunny as much as he can, goes beyond his limits to help him reaffirm himself and recover his independence. Kotetsu wants Barnaby to be respected, to not feel powerless, helpless, he wants his partner to stop being manipulated. Bunny's whole arc is that he wants to stop having decisions made for him!!!! Kotetsu knows it!!

On the other hand, Barnaby jokes all the time that Kotetsu is old, calls him grampa, that he should retire, the complete dance. Yet, Barnaby has never seen Kotetsu as a father figure. Kotetsu is Bunny's hero partner, not his superior. Thanks to Kotetsu's respectful treatment, they're friends. Hell, Bunny treats Kotetsu like a man. He doesn't pity Kotetsu for having lost his wife. He doesn't treat Kotetsu any differently when he meets Kaede, Kotetsu's daughter. There are moments when you forget the age gap because the story focuses on them being equals!!! They can take care of each other, they can share their burdens, they talk it out if they are frustrated, they communicate with full responsibility, etc etc etc.

Normally I don't like big age gaps at all. It's more of a personal preference, since those dynamics make me uncomfortable.

Kotetsu and Barnaby are the exception and the standard. God bless the Tiger and Bunny creators.

* also it has some of the best treatments of a teen girl having a crush on an older man I've ever seen. It's nothing predatory 'cause Kotetsu completely respects Karina and never takes advantage of her, also completely healthy because Karina uses that to sort out her teenage conflicts and figure out how she wants to be treated, how she deserves to be treated, what he's looking for in a relationship, how older people should approach her, etc.

Kotetsu is a gentleman through and through. An absolute must watch if you want to learn how to write those types of characters and relationships.
