#like thats the exact kind of shit that would mess with scott and that he wouldnt want to talk about

[wellnoe]

what are the big issues with scott/jean in your opinion? i’m not very familiar with them and only know the broad strokes of their relationship

if youre asking this in the context of my post about them being dysfunctional, i think the biggest issue that they have is that they are kind of bad at communicating. even after acknowledging this problem (and working at it. which they do.), they still have to very consciously try to communicate well. scott is reticent and tends to withdraw more the more upset/uncomfortable he feels, meanwhile jean tends to fall back on her telepathy to engage with complicated situations (or deal with scott being withdrawn). i like this, btw, i think its fun. theyre clearly able to overcome this, as they do in x-factor, but it is a persistent...snag? i guess? in their relationship.

i think pretty much all their other possible and canon issues are tied to that one big one. also, i really hope this ask was about issues in the problems sense and not in the numbered comics sense, bc i realized it could be about halfway through writing this and now i dont know.

#i do think scott and jean having a fraught relationship post search for cyclops makes sense #like thats the exact kind of shit that would mess with scott and that he wouldnt want to talk about #i just kind of hate where a lot of stuff went from there lol #also my answer here makes it sound like i think scott is the cause of a lot of problems and i DO want to emphasize #they are both pretty bad at talking to eachother #but also yeah jean is kind of better adjusted #and at least some of the time she lashes out shes actually just starting an argument #about some stuff they do actually need to address #so its not perfect communication i guess but its something #also also also as part of the communication thing i think that a lot of their philosophies about violence and murder and x-men #are similar ENOUGH that they kind of skate by ignoring the differences or not knowing about them #but when they DO get confronted with these differences I think its very fun and we should do more of those #further adventures of cyclops and phoenix i love some stuff about youuuuuu #w.ask #anon #also thank you for asking this! #i had fun thinking of them and problems

Season 2 of DMP has been freaking amazing so far! I wanted to ask, what exactly are the relationships among the awakened? Who are the closest among each other? For example I know Grace and Vincent sometimes conflict with one other, but do they consider each other as friends?

Queen: Ooooh, it has changed >:3 The Detective is full protecc of Percy, now she’s realised his situation was in ways similar to hers. Besides that, she’s more or less fine and respectful with everyone else.

The Host is pretty pissed at Percy, but loves everyone else. Drinking buddies with Vinny, fascinated by Tommy’s book talks, and feels the safest when she’s with the Doctor, because good father/daughter bonding is good :3

Alex: Relationship with Grace and Vinnie hasn’t changed for the doctor. Now that Tommy’s not a horrible glitchy mess he considers him a friend and is generally pretty patient with the nerd talk, because doctor goes for hard science fiction rather than Tommy’s more broad tastes. they both watched star trek though so that’s a plus

But PERCY. Hoo. Saying “this is a dream come true! Doing it over and over again and then getting a new life, I’ll never get bored of this!” was the exact wrong thing to say to the doctor. He already came in thinking it would be hard for an actual damn doctor with multiple PHDs to have a connection with a farm boy, but that just tipped the scales.

Lucky for the doctor as far as he’s concerned he doesn’t have to LIKE the awakened, just make sure they ARE awakened.

If we’re counting Christine despite her still being asleep at first the doctor was like “Huh, I guess she really DOES remember and seems to think she’s getting what she wants…” but after a little bit of thought he probably would have realized “Wait. She remembers and didn’t say anything to me beforehand? FUCKER.”

Queen: Oh yeah if we count her, Detective hasn’t met her, Host is very intrigued, definitely wants to find out her full story.

Adric: Tommy is for sure still trying to figure out how he feels about everyone as he was kinda out of it before and who knows how he would have seen them.

Vincent he wants to help as he did help Tommy out to get him fixed from his screw up and seeing him shitfaced would definitely make Tommy want to help him much more.

Grace is a lot a case of he’s wanting to get to know her and help her out more as she seems like she could do so much good if she would just stop stabbing bears. He might be a little peeved at her at the current most moment in time but ya know, wasn’t her fault MG made her kill him in the night.

The doctor Tommy would be very very much considering him a friend, Tommy is an introvert by nature but like some, you get his trust and get him talking for 2 weeks about a really good book series, he’s quite likely to consider them a good friend.

Percy is….still undecided. He seems to be a good person but….saying this is a dream come true does not sit well, especially bas it’s been months since Percy got stabbed vs Tommy having been stabbed at least twice in the last two murder games so yeah, it might be a dream till you bleed out in your friends bedroom while looking for love.

Christine I don’t think Tommy even knows about outside of the “we almost had one but she said leave me alone and went back to sleep” so, nothing for her.

And for bonus yeah Tommy no like MG at all, she made his friend stab her in the night and that shit hurts. Plus, ya know, she’s an evil murder God who gets off on other people’s pain sadness and death.

Alex: I think we can all assume the relation to MG for everyone either is or will be “go fahk yaself”

Kristen: What nah everyone loves her

Scott: I don’t feel that it’s fair to establish the relationships between Percy and the cast after having just met them. I can’t justify anything significant until we progress further into the arc.

Though if I had to say who he is most developing a liking to, I’d say he’s leaning more toward Tommy and Grace. Tommy has this innocence to him that Percy can identify with, and he appreciates. It’s nice to be able to find someone who shares such fascination with the extraordinary. And Grace for obvious reasons, due to the established connection the two have in terms of feeling “trapped” in…

Split: Vinny hasnt changed much in his relations with everyone, he still cant get enough of the doc due to him being both incredibly helpful and fucking hilarious. Besides thats the first friend he made in this nightmare.

Grace he’s been iffy with for a long time, she was ungrateful, disrespectful, gave him shit for each slight mistake. But over time he’d grown to appreciate her more, even if he doesnt really understand her mental state (and he kind of refuses to acknowledge it since the doc kinda made it clear that theres nothing to “fix” and that “shes just her”). The big turning point to “we’re cool” is whwn he saw her suffering as he has in the most recent game, learning that shes taking swings. She earned his respect.

He’s very protective of Tommy, still blaming himself for the boy getting so fucked up in the first place. So he already has an unnecessary attachment to him for that, but in the most recent games he learns Tommy’s also capable and smart, reminds him of an old friend of his.

Percy he’s patient with, gets a more somber feeling for, he wants to show him the light and help him out of the dark, and the same goes for Christine.
