twilight: Charles is Edward, Erik is Bella and actually does not want eternal life he wants to just read his damn book and study for the GMAT (I can’t imagine high school students sorry)
50 shades of grey: Charles is a high powered businessman who sends a contract for an elaborate BDSM relationship to barista Erik, who sends him back a picture of him laughing
old boring marrieds fighting over laundry
old boring marrieds at meet the teacher night at school
old boring marrieds getting the kids ready for prom
non cherik but charles taking out one of the kids for a night on the town after they weren’t asked out to the dance
old boring marrieds
beauty & the beast with charles as the beast
I literally do not have any other ideas
no seriously I suck at ideas
even asking other people to write stuff it’s just like “uhm sewing is easy bc there is a pattern and instructions and it’s all about painting within the lines”
fack
Happy Tuesday
terrible cherik aus
amicable mutual break up
au where erik can manipulate dairy and charles can read smells
1920s au where erik is a poor jewish immigrant in new york and charles is from a rich old family and they literally never ever meet
starry sky au where charles is a star and erik is a star and they both explode and die
au where shaw/schmidt is killed by an unknown mossad agent in 1959. erik and charles accidentally meet for one day in 1986 and have an argument over whether erik left his briefcase in front of charles’ wheelchair and never see each other again.
princess bride au where erik is inigo and charles is buttercup’s distant cousin
au where old boring marrieds is a terrible idea instead of a great one
I really really want the AU of the briefcase in front of Charles’ wheelchair one where instead of never seeing each other again, they get married.
I just saw the actual words ‘We know Magneto’s story intimately. It has been told often. He was a victim once. And then he decided that Genocide was okay. ‘ used by someone trying to assert that Magneto is a bad bad naughty villain and not a victim at all except oh that one time
I
I have no words
I’m really glad someone else called out that bullshit before I did. People just whittling down 50 years of characterization to “And then he decided Genocide was okay” like???
Max I didn’t realise you reblogged it with that gif I’m dying.
But yeah what ahuraboltagon said. At the risk of coming off as Taking Fiction Way Too Seriously, I also find it sketchy as hell to say something like ‘he was a victim once’ to describe like…living through the Holocaust…and general oppression…that persists through his (and other mutants’) entire life…y’know.
I think people forget that it wasn’t only the horrors of the Holocaust that made Magneto the way he is. He survived that and he escaped, he made a life for himself, married the love of his life and had a daughter. Then humans burnt down his house. They wouldn’t let him save his child from the blaze. They held him down and beat him while his only child was burning to death in their family home. His rage overcame him and he used his powers to get revenge, and in horror, his wife fled. His daughter died, and his wife disappeared. He survived the genocide of his people and tried to live a normal, happy life afterwards only to have that taken away from him by humans again. It’s the repeated tragedy and pain that broke (or made) Magneto.
None of this justifies the things he did in later life, of course, but it offers an explanation. I don’t think people really understand when they say things like that OP. If you survived all of that… do you think you would be clear headed? Do you think you wouldn’t be clouded by despair and rage? Do you think you wouldn’t be unstable for a long, long time? No.
All in all: don’t try to summarise the long history of a man you don’t understand. His story can’t be so easily explained in that way.

Every time I see this I can’t help saying “Magneto OUT” and snorting unattractively. Worse, now I just say that randomly in conversations with kellyoxenfree. WHY IS IT SO FUNNY.
It’s a testimony to the acting abilities of Sir Ian McKellen and Michael Fassbender that in the moment, Magneto works— the cape, the armor, the floating, alluvit. Once it’s giffed and divorced from context, you can see just how impressive it is that they make you believe in this guy completely when the movie’s running.
While I enjoy a great many of the wonderfully created AUs this fandom has to offer and I do enjoy how great McAvoy looks during Soccer Aid, a different type of Sport AU would be appreciated. Hockey perhaps? Or even a fictional sport with Quidditch? Rival Quidditch players Xavier and Lehnsherr having it out on their brooms? And releasing the tension later in the broom closet?
haha sounds like anon really just wants more Harry Potter AUs
but okay, while I realize that it’s pretty much futile to respond to posts like these, I’m going to anyway because I think we’ve had this kind of discussion before but it probably bears repeating, especially with the recent [ish] influx of new people in the fandom.
here’s my problem with this post: reader entitlement. maybe anon didn’t mean to come off as such, but it’s 8am and I’ve already casually discussed this post with a couple of different people and we’ve all agreed that to us, at least, it reads a lot like someone coming up to a drive thru menu and trying to order the type of fic they want.
you’re tired of football (soccer) AUs? great, don’t read them. you’d appreciate a different kind of sports AU? fantastic, that’s fine and dandy that you’d like a hockey AU, but why don’t you write one yourself? why do people have to stop writing football AUs in order to write you a hockey AU?
I’m only using these two as examples since they’re what was specifically named, but this goes for any type of AU - roommate AUs, canon-divergent AUs, space AUs, regency AUs, coffee shop AUs, you all know that the list goes on for eternity. writers are going to write about things that they like and what inspires them. if I want to write ten different fics where Charles is a dragon, then hell yeah (!!) I’m certainly allowed to do that, and if it happens to inspire three other writers to write dragon!Charles too, then I’m lucky! pro tip: exchange ‘dragon’ with ‘football player’ and we’re back to the original concept here.
this is a hobby and none of us are getting paid (if some of you are, please direct me to where I can sign up). this has all been said over and over again in a million different ways - here’s a post by Neil Gaiman that is sort of relevant - but boil it all down and the bottom-line fact of the matter is this: no one owes you anything.
if you’re worried your writing talents aren’t up to par, which you really shouldn’t be, my friend, then there are kinkmemes where prompts can be posted. if your prompt is inspiring, someone will come along and write you that hockey AU. and when they do? kudos the hell out of it. leave a lengthy comment on it. blog about it and write up a fic rec here on tumblr. love it! appreciate it.
as it happens, it’s easy in this fandom to be inspired to write a football AU while all of those Soccer Aid pics of McAvoy are floating around, and there’s nothing wrong with either loving or hating it. but just because you want to see a different kind of sport AU being written (and again - take a shot at writing it yourself, you can do it!!) doesn’t mean everyone else is suddenly obligated to stop working on what they want to write, what they like to write, and write just for you.
and as a disclaimer: this applies not only to writers but to artists as well.
