Manufactured between 04/07/2017 and 04/17/2017 by FRY COMMUNICATIONS, MECHANICSBURG, PA, USA. I’m jean grey.

yeah. no. not that jean grey. I never got possessed by an intergalactic . no phoenix force here. or received the associated space- god power-up.

which means I never went all crazy dark phoenix.

never destroyed a planet.

never tried to murder my friends. --in the love also of my life’s means I’ve stupid arms-- --a genocidal never died-- madwoman corpse, all decked out in her burgundy bad- guy clothes.

pretty okay with not being that jean grey, frankly.

nope, not me either. that other jean. grown-up She’s my badass, seen-and- nightmare. done-it-all jean.

her life--

--the life I should have led—

--wakes me up a couple nights a week.

all cold sweat-y. her maybe I can shadow learn from her will mistakes. maybe probably I can be the always happy jean. stretch further than mine. but maybe that’s cool. I’m still this jean grey… mostly.

the kid.

the jean grey who’s still feeling things out. but thanks to time travel and other crazy scary science fiction run amok…

…my fellow original I love these x-men and I are trapped guys to death. here in the future. but they’re still guys. now give them super-powers and time- displacement emotional trauma.

so… yeah.

that’s why pickles and I are having imagine sharing ramen brunch. an apartment with four filthy weirdo brothers. in kyoto.

pickles is a delicious noodles, teleporting demon gorgeous view. and bamf thingy. makes all the peace and quiet brunching with that I can handle… him awesome. if this thing bounces me on my head one more time! okay, well…

one of you get up here and stop this thing!

we’re coming! we’re coming!

…a solid hour of peace and quiet anyway.

stop!
