Kitty Pryde - Tumblr Posts
I think the next x men movie should just be Logan and his feral kids
It's 15 minutes to 4 a.m. and I've just finished reading a beautifully written cherik fic. I'm glad that I've stayed up and finished it in this ungodly time.
The fic is fallen from the stars by madmalina and its on ao3
i wanted to draw a teeny little kitty!! i do wonder who scratched up wolverine's bike though... Live Wolverine reaction:
enjoy my messy edit LMAOOO i had the mental image and i needed to make it real... I was originally gonna make it Scott since he knew it was going to become his problem REAL quick but like... i really just wanted to draw Logan's hair hehehe
I wasn’t going to post these yet,…. buuuut I don’t really have time to colour them in rn so !! more xmen evo ponies >u<
also Ik that I often draw them in the same/similar pose but I do that to help myself get used to drawing the designs :3 If that makes sense to anyone,,.
I really like drawing them as ponies.. hehe :3 I have more but I need to touch up on them a bit before I post :PP
Scott and Kitty are the easiest to draw as u can telll.. I spent a WHILE figuring out Rogue and I’m so glad I did :DD love her
No cutie marks once again btw,.. i do NAWT have enough braincells for that
edit: Also I did change Scott from being a unicorn with a broken horn to a regular ol’ earth pony,.. it makes more sense to me to have everyone be earth ponies because
1. It wouldn’t make sense, especially since mutants like Warren exist and making them all different species would overcomplicate it all and mutants would be very confusing
2. It would kill me to try figure out what everyone would be
The X-Men’s HELLFIRE GALA is happening this June, and I’m a character designer for the event!! ❌🥂
Here are my designs for Storm, Jean Grey, Cyclops, Rogue, Emma Frost, Kate Pryde, Captain Britain, and Angel!
I also chatted with Entertainment Weekly! Head there for more on the looks, and my designs for Monet and Rachel Summers.
VERY EXCITED! 😄

An Important Aside
CW: Statutory Rape
So, the next issue I have to cover is #197, and it focuses on Kitty Pryde and Colossus. I've briefly mentioned my very strong thoughts on their relationship before, but I think I need to go into more detail about this topic, and I don't want it sandwiched between a bunch of bad jokes and philistine art opinions. When Kitty and Piotr's romance began, she was 14. He was 19. This is statutory assault.
This is definitely ephebophilia and I'm not sure but it may be considered pedophilia as well. Its really, really awful. But the narrative never treats it that way. They write Kitty as a child for sure, she acts in a very childish and immature manner throughout this romance. Its pretty clear Piotr's on a completely different maturity level than her. But he is never portrayed as the absolute monster he is for taking advantage of that. And its not that he doesn't know this is wrong, he angsts plenty about his feelings for Kitty. At one point, the two are in a precarious situation they're not sure they'll live through, and Kitty asks Piotr to have sex with her before they die. He refuses, because he knows she's too young and immature. He knows its wrong and he does it anyway. Which means that the writer and artist of that issue, Chris Claremont and John Byrne, would have to know it was wrong too.
None of the other X-men ever take issue with this. In fact, multiple other X-men encourage their relationship. This includes characters like Storm and Wolverine, Kitty's parental figures on the team. It also includes Professor X, who, may I remind you, has a doctorate in psychology (of course, I shouldn't be surprised Chuck is so blasé considering he had a hots for a teenage Jean Grey and only refrained from pursuing her because of his disability). Eventually, however, somebody finally did take issue with this disgusting situation; the Marvel higher ups.
Claremont was pressured by his bosses to break up the pair, so he did, in the most convoluted, comic book-y way possible; during the Secret Wars event, Colossus is separated from Kitty and meets and falls in love with an alien woman who dies tragically at the end of the event. When he returns to Earth he realizes he's still in mourning for her and has fallen out of love with Kitty. And you'd think that, that's it right? It sucks that they didn't break up because, like, you know, Piotr finally got his head out of his ass and realized he was dating a child, but at least we can move on! But no, we can't, because they reactions that the other X-men have, especially Wolverine are fucking appalling.
They're finally angry at Piotr. But not for starting a relationship with a literal child, no, they're angry at him for finally doing the right thing and ending that relationship. Wolverine especially goes off on him for breaking Kitty's heart. Again, Wolverine who is supposed to be Kitty's mentor and father figure.
I don't really know how to end this because I don't have any important insights aside from "this is fucked up, I hope you know this fucked up, fuck the people who made this." There's definitely a lot more to say about how Kitty Pryde and other teenage characters are sexualized in comics. There's a lot more to say about age-gap relationships in comics (this wasn't the first time a superhero committed statutory rape and wouldn't be the last). But I really don't want to say any of this. I'm not sure now if I want to write a full review of X-men #197 now, because I would rather not spend any more time on this. I might do a mini post about some of the specific panels or scenes I have opinions on.
This whole thing has really ruined 616 Colossus for me, and its tainted other versions too. But I want to make it clear, if he's still a character you like, that's ok. If (adult!) Kitty x Colossus is still one of your ships, that's ok! You can like problematic characters. In long running comic books especially, you can ignore problematic actions or personality traits of your favorite characters, God knows I do all the time. I just needed to get this off my chest.

Logan adopting teenaged girls is 100% the reason why I love his character.
I have a soft spot for parental figures who don’t want to admit they’re parental figures.
“I am not a father,” he says as he is followed by a horde of children.
Awesome art.
