Jean-Luc Picard.

Mostly because they somehow nailed Xavier as being similar to Picard, sometime before Stewart was cast as Xavier.

From the films? Wolverine. Love the attitude. Or maybe the Cavillrine, simply cause of the shotgun arm reload for the claws.

Storm because Halle Berry.

Rogue, because she just wanted to touch people without them dying and the other X-Men treated her like a traitor. Yeah she can bring dead things back to life, but never being able to be physical with your loved ones ever without killing them? Yeah I'd cure that shit too.

Edit: I get the metaphor to marginalised groups, like the LGBTQ+, and that the cure is a metaphor for like, conversion therapy. But also, they have supernatural powers and hers is sucking powers and life force out of people. She cannot be cool like Storm and control the weather, and she cannot read minds (unless she takes those powers). So, in my mind, the metaphor falls apart when it comes to Rogue. Gay people don't kill others by virtue of their gayness; she can. That's the difference and I hate how the other X-Men reacted to her. Storm is all like "noooo you're perfect", but she can hug her loved ones, Soo there.

Brian Mannix because he had the coolest hair.

Let's hope the sausage doesn't pay you back tomorrow.

Patina is a good thing. Over cleaning is a flaw to me. I’m assuming some sort of treadle Singer.

So....are we singing yet?

Negative experiences (shit job, shit family, shit friends, trauma, abuse, etc) will cause triggers to manifest naturally, it's the brain 'misfiring' doing risk assessments and memory recollection, similar to the way ptsd works. Something in the world reminds you of that time, and your brain treats it like a new threat rather than a memory, even though it is just a memory.

You can run away across the seas, but you will still have your brain reacting to triggers.

It may help to recentre yourself by reminding yourself of what you have achieved, your goals, that you are not 'there' anymore. That you have come so far despite your past experiences, and fuck those times where you were in a hard place. You persevered and you are succeeding.

Sorry for the rant and possible lack of help this supplies 😬

Sounds like you've got a lot of the past to let go of. Speaking as someone who dragged the past around like an anchor for far too long. Even if you were to go overseas, you can't escape from you. I hope you can one day find a way to let go of it.

Oh my god the bunnies!

Aww man 🥰 I'll have to make sure I take the kids and go next year 🤞🏼
