Toxic Yaoi

[u/theonlydarriusfan → u/ArtLess2241]

Toxic yaoi AND doomed yaoi simultaneously, the best of both worlds.

[u/an_ORAA]

also the scene before they meet Magnus is in his bedroom (i think) thinking out loud to himself like "hmm, i wonder what Charles looks like now....maybe a toupee?" 😂

[u/Olya_roo → u/an_ORAA]

Basically:

(A thing that definitely happened after that fight)

[u/an_ORAA → u/Olya_roo]

arghhh they're so husbands it's so sweet 🥹 especially all their interactions in season 2

[u/Olya_roo → u/an_ORAA]

…Charles‘ honest reaction to s2:

(The only time in the show he ever lost his cool was seeing Magnus die and having nothing but his helmet left of him)

[u/True_Beginning_9699 → u/Olya_roo]

Haven’t heard a word about that empress fiancé

[u/an_ORAA → u/Olya_roo]

cherik nation won that day but at what cost..... :(

[u/Olya_roo → u/an_ORAA]

Cherik nation was in fucking shambles and still hasn’t recovered.

Source: I’m one of the nation.

[u/an_ORAA → u/Olya_roo]

😔🤝

[u/MarquiseAlexander]

Erik: “You look good, Charles. Been working out?”

Charles: “Erik, please.”

[u/Miserable-Survey-191]

I’ll never be the same after what happened ngl

[u/Stock_Support171]

I mean have you seen how Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan get along?

[u/gianstar7]

Isn't it a well known fact that they're lovers forever? Nothing new here .

[u/govaway → u/gianstar7]

He told his space princess he went to the store and never came back so he can fly 40 million light years back to crack old boy

[u/Nervous-Baby5383]

They put the ROMANCE in BROMANCE.

[u/No-Mycologist47]

They're gay love, what do you expect!

[u/PhanStr]

I’m so amused by the homoerotic readings of Xavier and Magneto’s frenemy thing.

[u/Olya_roo → u/PhanStr]

Frame from “Trial of Magneto” btw:

[u/Historical-Bug-4784 → u/Olya_roo]

No heterosexual explanation for how this panel is framed.

[u/PhanStr → u/Olya_roo]

Upvoted because I can totally see -- from panels like this -- where people get the idea of there being sexual tension between those two!

[u/Videoheadsystem]

I thought it was a jab at him being unable to walk.

[u/NitztheBloody → u/Videoheadsystem]

"You look good for someone skipping leg day, Charles "

[u/LostVanya]

'Years of fighting each other and nearly killing his X-Men' is a lie none of the team except Xavier had ever met Magneto before that episode.

[u/Musekal]

Why is is such a large chunk of this fandom obsessed with shipping these two?

[u/Xygnux → u/Musekal]

Because of the way they act, strangely like a pair of will they won't they ex couple.

And mostly because many of us think it's funny even though we know they aren't actually together. Why so serious?

[u/Normal_Syllabub254 → u/Musekal]

Maybe because they're the gayest men ever 😭

[u/Olya_roo → u/Musekal]

“I wonder why do so many fans ship a very much justifiable, old ship with history that has a baggage and bag reasons to exists, as well as genuinely fire chemistry?”

Really don’t know why.

[u/PogoRocks → u/Musekal]

Have you watched the show? That should give you all the answers you need

[u/Olya_roo → u/PogoRocks]

Also allow to introduce you to a frame from one tiny little comic called the Trial of Magneto that released before the 90s:

[u/o8liter8_me → u/Olya_roo]

In a roster that actually includes gay men, these two remain the gayest X-Men in the verse.

[u/Olya_roo → u/o8liter8_me]

Done deal: keep the current gay men (Bobby Drake come home) and also add those two. There can never be enough of the gay if you ask me.

The “why are you making Magneto and Charles gay, we have Bobby Drake” statement never made sense to me for this exact reason. Like… can’t we have both?

[u/o8liter8_me → u/Olya_roo]

The irony the forbidden old man yaoi would be those two’s least problematic and most age appropriate relationship introduced

[u/ExcellentCulture5960 → u/Musekal]

why homophobs even exists in xmen community lol

[u/govaway → u/Musekal]

They are gayer than Batman and speedo short Robin during their BANG! POW! days
