Listen. The moment you get an older than 45 queer romance going in media I’m thrilled and I just don’t gaf if it’s sad, ‘Bad Rep’, light and happy, plot B, not ‘serious enough’, ‘too serious’, Can’t Happen Because One of Them Only is in Love With the Other Inside a Mind Split Work Place, Not Safe For Work, etc. I don’t care. I want it to exist and I will thoroughly enjoy it.
I grew up hearing about all the friends my mom lost in the queer community. I grew up knowing that those people would never have a romance that aged with their bodies. That they’d never have these kinds of stories. That the people who did survive still face hatred and violence just for holding hands in public even after living through this shit for so many years. So, yeah. I want to see the older queer couples in love, ok? I don’t care if it’s not the Young People Aesthetic or ‘Good Representation’ or wtfever. I just don’t care. They deserve to age, and love, and be messy, and be real people, and have stories told about it.

We Got Tagged
Hey everyone, we got tagged by @localmutantlesbian in this mutant ask thing so here we go (as always Z will be using bolded font and Vex will use italics and if we’re both saying it it’ll be both bolded and in italics, just so ya know who’s who in our answers if ya don’t wanna read our names every time). Here we go!
1. What’s your codename/mutant name?
Z: I can’t decide honestly, I’ve considered something simple like “Shifter” and crazy shit like “Dragon Queen” but they’ve all been shot down so far either by me or by Prof.X or one of the other Profs or my friends for being lame
V: This is a question I hate because I totally would’ve gone with like “Multiple Girl” but Multiple Man has that and they won’t let me pick something in a dead or nerd language (even though I think it’d be super cool) so I also don’t have one. We don;t go into the field much yet though so it doesn’t really matter yet.
2. Age?
Z: 19 going on 20, birthday is in May
V: Same except my birthday is in June
3. Gender and pronouns?
Z: Genderfluid with a current lean towards nonbinary so they/them or she/her or he/him all work for me, I don’t really care
V: Genderqueer, They/Them or She/Her please
4. What is your mutation(s)?
Z: Shapeshifting and mild hydrokinesis and is ADHD a mutation? Cause I swear it gives me superpowers
V: Creating multiples of myself and enhanced strength, speed, and senses. And yeah ADHD should definitely count as a power.
5. Are you a member of any mutant group (X-Men, The Mutant Underground, The Brotherhood of Mutants, Morlocks, etc)?
Z: X-Men in training at Xavier's (But I have friends in The Brotherhood)
V: Ditto
6. Got any physical mutations?
Z: Yeah, although mine are mostly by choice seeing as I’m a shapeshifter. I’m fond of my claws and fangs and tails and scales and horns and freaky eyes for everyday use
V: Nope, not really.
7. When did your powers manifest?
Z: Around 13
V: 12 and a half
8. What is your favourite thing about your powers?
Z: Everything. I love my powers, I love that I can be anything and do anything if I put my mind to it. It makes me who I am honestly, I don’t know who I’d be without my powers. Hell I’d probably have killed myself if my powers hadn’t manifested when they did I hated myself so much back then. Of course being at Xavier’s and meeting V and my other friends helped too. But yeah I love my powers and how they make me feel.
V: Ditto honestly, my powers help me learn so much and so much faster than I used to be able to, the focus I gain from my clones alone is a life saver when I have to do anything I find boring (which is a lot because Inattentive ADHD sucks royally). The enhanced senses and stuff are pretty awesome too, nothing better than losing your favorite pen under a couch and being able to lift the couch over your head ta get it back. I wouldn’t trade my powers for anything in the world.
9. Biggest pet peeve related to being a mutant?
Z: Assholes being assholes to us, assholes who only approve of human-passing mutants who think we should be grateful they even tolerate that much, not being able to find good shapeshifter friendly clothing that still looks cool and comes in plus sizes, and uppity fuckwad mutants who judge others on powers or looks or anything else because god dammit we need to stick together and support each other. I could go on because I have a lot but I won’t or this’ll take forever.
V: The asshole issues that Z pointed out but also when my powers go outta control cause I lose my cool or something and I have ta calm down ta find control again and it’s really hard, or when I sneeze cause of allergies and I accidentally sneeze a clone out...it’s embarrassing. Also accidentally hurting people with my enhanced strength....I hate that too
10. Ever been to space or another dimension?
Z: Yeah by accident.....it involved tequila....lots of tequila....
V: Nope
11. Do you wear a costume (BE HONEST)
Z: Sorta? I have ta make a lot of my own clothes cause of my physical mutations and shapeshifting so sometimes they come out looking very costumey and I am fond of leather which doesn’t help. I guess my battle gear counts? Loose black cargo pants (need all the pockets for gadgets and snacks cause shapeshifting requires a fuckton of calories and effort), black tank top (lightweight body armor actually but designed ta look like a tank top), arm warmers (again armor, they cover from my wrists to halfway up my upper arm, they’re also black). black leather fingerless gloves, combat boots (with knives hidden in the toes, also black except I change the laces all the time cause I like making them funky colors and designs), and a black leather weapons belt that holds at least one stun gun, two daggers/medium sized knives, and in some cases a sword because I like it. All of it’s like....well for lack of a better term...enchanted ta survive my shifts (including into dragon form) so it doesn’t rip or tear or anything. Apparently when I shift it kinda just disappears into a pocket dimension and then reappears on me when I shift back...I dunno how it works, ask Scarlet Witch she hooked me up. And by the way the weapons are because sometimes if I’m too drained ta shift I gotta go hand-to hand.
V: Yeah kinda, it’s my battle gear too. Navy cargo pants (I keep extra snacks for Z), black t-shirt, black wrist guards, black boots with purple laces and skulls and stuff painted on them, purple weapons belt holding a stun gun, throwing knives (like a frick ton, I also store more in my pants), more knives of varying sizes, smoke bombs (great for sneak attacks, just throw to confuse enemy and then attack from all sides with clones. I have flash bombs too), and a couple different versions of brass knuckles, and then I wear opaque black sunglasses too because I like them. Oh and yes my shirt is body armor like Z’s is of course, and my boots are steel toe.
12. Are you a minority in another way (race, gender, disability, etc)?
Z: Genderfluid Panromantic Demisexual who’s got mad depression, anxiety, ADHD, and fainting spells and I’m Polyamorous
V: Genderqueer, Queer in general, demisexual and polyamorous also with severe anxiety as well as dsycalculia and ADHD 
13. Coolest power you’ve seen?
Z: I love Storm’s powers, but Scarlet Witch is pretty cool too
V: I concur with Storm but I’m also fond of Z’s powers cause watching your friend turn into a dragion is really cool
14. Favourite mutant artist?
Z: Dunno
V: Ditto
15. How would your friends describe you?
Z: Loud, proud, queer as fuck, angry, musical, a water baby, a literal and metaphorical dragon, bad influence, pun queen, kind of insane, kinky, and V’s shoulder devil/inner crazy bitch. 
V: Quiet, secretly vindictive, punk af, dorky, wordy, easily distracted, helpful, accidental group therapist, mom friend, and Z’s conscience/shoulder angel. 
16. Enhanced/powered person you most want to meet?
Z: Deadpool, I always miss him when he visits and it sucks
V: Spiderman......I just think he seem really cool
17. Feelings about mutant registration?
Z: No, just no. That’s how they end up rounding us up and killing us all. If it’s an operation run by us mutants ourselves as a way to work together and support each other and offer aid to mutants and help mutant youth who’ve been kicked out of their homes and stuff like that then sure. But not some government list of us all, fuck no.
V: Yeah ditto on that.
18. #MutantandProud or #WeWantACure?
Z&V: #MutantandProud
Z&V: Again unless it’s something regulated by mutants for mutants, no. Because it should be a mutants choice whether or not they want their powers because some people get royally screwed and end up with powers they hate because they are dangerous or something like that. It shouldn’t be something the government or anyone else can decide, it should always be the mutants individual choice. 
19. How did you choose your codename?
Z: Don’t have one yet but when I do choose it’ll probably be like...by throwing darts at a bunch of names I like or a coin flip or something
V: Don’t have one yet, I’ll tell you how I chose it when I figure one out.
20. OPTIONAL: what caused your powers to manifest?
Z: Got mad, grew talons and fangs and scales cause I was reading about mythological creatures earlier, was not pretty. It happened when I was alone though so that was a plus. (I was mad because of a text from my boyfriend at the time). The hydrokinesis thing I figured out after I got to Xavier’s...was outside in the courtyard....got catcalled by some asshole student....wished I could dump water on his head....fountain water flew up and over and dumped gallons on his head....it was awesome.
V: I sneezed at the dinner table and three clones shot out of me....the strength and speed stuff I figured out at school in gym class when suddenly I was kicking ass at track and field after always sucking at it my whole life....The senses I figured out when I could hear waaaayyyyy too much noise everywhere and everything smelled waaayyy too strong and suddenly I could see without my glasses (yeah I used ta have and need glasses, I don’t anymore but if I did they’d be cats-eye style like a vintage librarian because reasons). 
Tagging: We’re not really sure who ta tag so if you wanna do it then feel free ta do it and tag us!
(And thank you again to @localmutantlesbian for tagging us! We loved doing this!)

Girlfriend ask tag
@icelandicandamess <-- My lovely girlfriend
1.   Describe how you met each other.
OK so she runs a Nightcrawler ask/role play blog and someone I was following was following her. And (oh my GOD!) she is such a good writer and a great artist and does such a good job portraying Nightcrawler. I was extremely intimidated by her. I kinda stalked her blog for about a week before actually following her. And then followed her for about three weeks or a month before talking to her.
2.   What did you first notice about each other?
She’s an amazing writer and I think that’s what intimidated me the most about her, because I’d always prided myself on being a good writer and she was so far out of my league talent-wise (and with everything else, let’s be real.) that I was extremely intimidated.
3.   Who first asked the other out?
She asked me, but we’ve been romantically interested in each other for a while. And I think she might have initiated that too? I don’t remember honestly
4.   Where was your first date?
(We haven’t had it yet but when we see each other I’m taking her out to an Italian restaurant and we’re going to hang out on the steps of a local monument by the river. I have it all planned out.)
5.   Who was first to verbally say “I love you”?
Me
6.   How did your first kiss happen? Who initiated it?
It hasn’t happened yet…
7.   When is your anniversary?
September 3rd
8.   How long have you been together?
We’ve been friends for over a year, been interested for seven months and she only asked me out for real this month.
9.   What made you realize you were in love with her?
I loved Anna before I was in love with her. She was my friend first, so affection was already established there. But I think… My day didn’t feel right without talking to her. That was when I realized I’d fallen for her.
10.                 Were you friends before you became lovers?
Yes. And she’s still my best friend.
11.                 Were either of you out before getting with your girlfriend?
I was. Kinda. My parents and I kind of had a rough relationship about that kind of thing. I wasn’t about to pretend to be something I wasn’t- that’s just not in my nature. I also wasn’t in a dangerous home situation, it was just uncomfortable with me being queer. Anna’s still not really out yet. She’s talked to her parents about it in theory, but there hasn’t been a bit thing about it yet.
12.                 Have either of you dated a girl before getting with your girlfriend or is she your first?
I had three girlfriends before dating Anna. I’m Anna’s first.
13.                 How does your girlfriend define her sexuality?
She’s asexual and biromantic (I believe…)
14.                 When is your girlfriend’s birthday? Who is older?
Anna’s older than me. Her birthday is January 13th, mine is in August.
15.                 Do you live together?
We will one day
16.                 Have you met your girlfriend’s parents? If so, what was that like?
I haven’t but from what I’ve heard they’re great! (I’ve talked to her mom on snapchat once and she seemed really friendly)
17.                 How many people are in your girlfriend’s family?
She has two sisters and a brother and they live with their parents.
18.                 Whose family do you hang out with more?
We live in different countries for right now.
19.                 What nationality is your girlfriend?
She’s Icelandic!
20 What is a typical date night like for you and your girlfriend?
Watching Young Justice or a movie on Rabb.it
20.                 How do you usually spend your time together?
Aforementioned date night, writing together, sending each other memes.
21.                 Have you ever been mistaken for sisters?
I have her as my background on my laptop and one person thought her picture was an old one of my mom… I don’t even know.
22.                 Have you ever experienced any discrimination or prejudice because you are a same sex couple?
No, not together anyway. But I went to a conservative Catholic school, so…
23.                 Does anyone you know disapprove of your relationship?
I, um… haven’t told my parents we’re dating. They had a hard time grasping the concept of me having a friend in Iceland. And I think telling them will be easier because I’m in college now.
25, How much PDA do you do?
We’re both snuggling FIENDS but being over 3000 miles away kind of impedes that.
26. Have you ever been on your periods together?
Yes, yes we have. But not while we were dating. It was actually like a month into knowing each other.
27. What is your girlfriend’s middle name?
Halldóra
28. Who usually pays when you go out to eat?
I get the feeling that will be a point of contention once we’re around each other more.
29. What is your girlfriend’s number labeled as in your cell phone?
Baby Girl
30. Do you have any pet names for each other?
I call her baby girl, angel, angelface, Anna bobana (which is also my tumblr tag for her), sunshine and cutie pie. She calls me Princess and Princésa. She also calls me Cas a lot and most people just call me Casper?
31. Does your girlfriend have any pets?
No, I’m the one with the cute pet
32. Have you ever worn your girlfriend’s clothes?
I cant wait to see her in my leather jacket cuz it’s roomy on me and she’s going to swim in it
33. Who is more likely to cook a meal?
Me, probably? I’m always snapchatting her “HEY BABE LOOK WHAT I MADE”
34. What is your girlfriend’s favorite food? Least favorite food?
I recently found out she likes tomatoes. (And I had to ask her what her least favorite food is, it’s Icelandic bratwurst called bjùga)
35. Who is more likely to cry for no reason?

We both LIKE kids, but we don’t want any. And if we do end up adopting, it’ll just be one and we’ll solidly middle aged.
87. What is one thing your girlfriend does that you don’t like?
I don’t like that she puts herself down a lot
88. Is there anything about your girlfriend you think most people don’t know?
She’s extremely sensitive. And I don’t mean overly emotional. I mean she picks up on how I feel without even needing to see my face and she knows exactly what I need to hear to be helped when I’m upset.
89. Choose one word to describe your girlfriend. Why that word?
Stable- I can be pretty wild and she’s my rock. If I’m upset, she calms me down in a way no one else can.
90. Pass on one piece of relationship advice.
Communication is key. Never leave anything unsaid. If they upset you, tell them. If you know that the other person is upset, reach out. Keeping your mouth shut so you don’t stir the pot can actually do you more harm than bringing attention to something you’re upset about.

Tag Game
I was tagged by @little-bi-kingtrashmouth thanks man!!
Rules: Tag 20 people
I’m in a real talkative mood right now so this is gonna be.. long. Sorry.
Nickname: Mack but most people just. call me that so its not even really a nickname anymore I guess? huh
Zodiac: Sagittarius
Height: 5′4″ (if you’re from the BloodServe people I’m toootally 5′5″...)
Last thing I googled: "are there sweat glands on your eyelids” don’t judge me lmao
Favorite music artist: uhhhh dude... dunno
Last movie I saw: I think the last one I saw in theatres was Moana but the last one I actually watched was The Axe Murders of Villisca (thanks @lillithpanda 4 the recommendation)
Why did I choose my URL: It’s some kind of old inside joke that I don’t remember anymore. I was going to change it, like, a whole bunch of times over the years but a) brand loyalty b) there’s this racist-and-general-asshole with the real-and-correct-spelling of the word in his URL and his blog is basically dead so I’m kind of rage holding onto the URL until I can become The Supreme
Do I have any other blogs: Yes! Mostly private URL hoards or like... to-do-list blogs but publically I have @aimonomiatarot and @psuedoart (the second of which I don’t really use anymore because all of my art usually goes on aimonomiatarot now anyway)
What did your last relationship teach you: I’m assuming this us speaking romantic relationships and I’ve never dated or even kissed anyone so. Uh.. I’m like super gay and ace so that’s not really my thing
Religious or spiritual: I’m “officially” Catholic but I was more actively raised Lutheran and now I’m not religious. I’m spiritual in the sense that I’m a witch (see sideblog aimonomiatarot) and a diviner but I’m not a Wiccan or worship any deities or anything.
Favorite colour: Not to be edgy or anything but black. Maybe blue/teal as like #2.
Average hours of sleep: Usually I’d automatically respond like 4.5-6 hours tops, but I’ve been. depression napping a lot the past month so maybe like 8 or 9 combined hours a day. It’s gone down a lot already since I started working again so that’s kind of nice
Lucky number: 4 and 7. Sometimes 73.
Favorite Character: The only thing I hear when I get this question is “what characters do you Project Onto Most” lmao
Anyway uuuh Agent Maine (RVB), Sylar Grey (Heroes), Deadpool (Marvel), Grendel (Grendel) (don’t ask I dunno), most recently JUICE (17776) (we’ll see if that continues), probably some others I’m not thinking of now
Basically just show me a queer/queer-coded and mentally ill character and I’ll latch on like a motherfucker tbh
How many blankets do I sleep with: 1 or 2 in the summer but they’re the heavier blankets that I have. I usually sleep with a pile of them because (even though I prefer to be cold) there’s just something about the pressure and safety of a nest of blankets that like. Calms me down. It’s kind of the only way I can sleep (thanks paranoia but w/e)
Dream job: I haven’t really had one of those since I was like, 6 years old, but I recently started a new job that I really like and I’m hopefully going to be able to start working with this cool and relatively well-known costume designer in the fall and I’m really looking forward to that opportunity
uuuh not gonna reach 20 and uh. I’ve never actually talked to a couple of you or not talked to you in a long time but hey why not start now right. Feel free to do this challenge too if you see it/ not do it if you don’t want to!
@deeprootsarenotreached2 @lillithpanda @kazantlers @thefreelancerdivision @hannahalwaysblogs @ryrythescienceguy @loganscove @artichokemesexually @sarahthegingersnap @a-heroby-anothername @a-neighborhood-hispanic @gaynasa @moldgy
