okay so my mom raised me and my sisters as a single parent, which wasn't all that easy & to make things worse I'm a mutant (same w/ my twin) which was and still is kinda looked at as weird in society. but we stayed together, flew under the radar & so on.

but growing up the only mutants we ever saw on tv were the infamous ones, like mystique who stopped magneto from shooting the president and who became a hero to mutantkind for being willing to put herself in the line of fire. magneto kind of was previously jailed for murdering the last president and almost ended the world with a really old crabby pants mutant aptly dubbed Apocalypse.

so I grew up seeing this guy named magneto on tv, being really shitty and doing a lot of shitty things and it turns out that guy is my father. I met him when I was a teenager but didn't know it and only just getting here three months ago did I get to talk to Erik, who already knew this from my other universe nephew spilling the beans (like wtf billy thanks) and he's being really nice and trying to make it work and so am I but like

he wasn't there a long ass time & he's done a lot of shitty ass things and it's complicated. but he's my father and I want to get to know him all the same, get to know why he did those things and hear his side of the story. part of me hopes he's got good excuses and that I can believe in him a little more than I'm already prepared to. because I'm by default prepared for him to spiral off into something shitty again

My mom's last warning to me was that nothing ends well with him.
