i think that being an LGBT child opens you up to a certain brand of magical thinking. id say most kids would think itd be really cool to join the xmen, but do understand there is some fiction at play that prevents that from happening.
meanwhile my gay ass was like, “i can tell im different and weird in a way none of my friends or classmates are… just like wolverine. im sure professor x will be by to pick me up any day now!” because as a child there was really no other way to quantify that difference or weirdness except maybe i was wolverine
if you were convinced you were a werewolf as a child long past the age when that magical thinking was expected of you and NOW youre gay… throw back your head and awoo with me baby!
