Don't Try This At Home by oliviacirce for feverbeats and kink_bingo (emotion play)
X-Men First Class • Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier • Adult • 5000 words
You can't make me love you, Erik thinks, except Charles probably could.

I gave some beta comments on this one, and it is so hot and disturbing and perfect. As the author says, "I like to think of this as the story in which Charles incepts Erik into a supervillain."

vids
kuwdora has remasterd talitha78's vid "Poker Face" and made a tribute remix of the vid too, "Poker Face (Royal Flush Remix)!" Both are extraordinarily shiny and awesome.

brainstorming
littlebutfierce is inciting conspiracy trying to figure out what people are going to nominate for Kaleidoscope, come help maximize the number of awesome fandoms nominated!


I'm going to go see X-Men: First Class this afternoon, don't judge me harsher than I'm judging myself.

Why judge yourself? It was a fun movie, and if we never watched anything problematic, we'd never watch anything. Well, we'd never watch movies based on comic books, anyway.

Well, that's certainly true. =) But I can't help but feel that giving Hollywood $$ (or ¥¥ in my particular case at the moment) is only encouraging bad habits.

And quite honestly having just seen it, I find it hard to think of a movie that more perfectly encapsulates so many of Hollywood's bad/failtastic practices. But that's for my post on it I suppose.

Thanks for the rec! ♥♥♥

Interested in seeing your review. I acknowledge that there was much that was failtastic about that film, but I loved Eric the big damn Jewish hero so much that I gave it a pass on much of it.

Erik was the best thing about that movie by far, until the ending when the writers totally fucked it up.
