Evil Katey/Good Katey |
KV Taylor writes things. They're scary and sometimes pretty and always f#@ked. KVTaylor.com works, too. Her not-so-secret superhero/pr0n star identity is Katey Hawthorne. She also writes things, but they involve lots of superpowers and sex. Er, romance. Right, that. KateyHawthorne.com FTW. |
When the new X-men lineup was announced I, of course, thought it was amazing and refreshing and about damn time. It wasn’t until a friend of mine brought the new team up again that the idea for another X-fashion developed. It really was a “duh” moment for me - they’re ripe for a fashion piece, and not just because they’re women but because they are some of THE biggest female names of the X-men. So I went for it. Wanted something a little more dynamic than X-fashions of the past. My main thought going in was more pants, less dresses and frippery. Of course there’s still bling and heels - you can’t take away all the fun - but I wanted fashion that was a bit more street, more real, a little more badass.
Rachel is grunge. Love her jacket, not so happy with her shirt.
Psylocke is NYC fashionista tomboy. Dip dyed hair (so trendy) and a butterfly print blouse.
I’m really happy with Kitty’s dragon t-shirt and bad ass heels. Had to get a shoe in there somewhere, people.
Storm is my 80s executive realness. Her earring is fashioned after the one Willi Ninja bought (he has the receipt) in Paris is Burning.
My southern belle is in a loud print and hose - she’s the only one in a dress. I wanted her in printed leggings but she was already such a patterned mess I decided against it.
And Jubes is just all over the place. Bikini and hot pants and a bedazzled jacket.
The original will be going up in the store as soon as tomorrow. Prints as well - in TWO sizes :) Hope you guys like it, let me know what you think!

Day 42: Most Heartbreaking MomentThe cover blurb to Excalibur #75 informs us that this is Rachel’s final moment as the Phoenix. So far, this has actually turned out pretty true — seems that bird would rather bond with just about anyone else.
Anyway, as a result of Excalibur’s timeline hopping, Captain Britain was lost in the timestream. Amanda Sefton and Meggan demand that Rachel — who is time displaced herself and technically doesn’t belong in the space she is occupying — trade places with Brian. Rachel agrees, tearfully bidding farewell to her friends and teammates.
Self-sacrifice is fairly mainstream heroic. Rachel is willing to throw herself into the timestream, come what may, so that Brian gets a chance to live the life he should. Nothing to see there.
What makes this moment rough is that Rachel’s alternate parents just got married. She just got accepted by them. For the first time in a long time, she has a place to call home. In addition, her family has an expectation that this universe’s version of herself will be born soon. As Rachel leaves, she doesn’t doubt that her friends and family are going to get her back, as a baby. She asks that they love her baby self. Though she is leaving, no one is losing anything in the bargain but her.
She’s giving up the first home she’s had since she was eight years old.
She’s easily replaceable.
She’s hurling herself into the questionable life of being lost in time to save a friend from that very fate.That all is pretty heartwrenching. And the only silver lining she has, is that she is going to be born there.
Well guess what?
She fucking wasn’t.
And she never will.
Rachel Summers is unique in the multiverse. She’s the only one of her there is.

Amanda: Kurt, I can’t hold the timeline together much longer! It’s now or never, or forever and always…your choice, Rachel.
Rachel: I appreciate the sentiment, fuzzy — but I’ve made my choice.
Kurt: But..?
Rachel: Please, Kurt…not another word. Please? Kitty, promise me you’ll say “hello.”
Kitty: I - I don’t understand.
Rachel: When I’m born, to Scott and Jean. Promise me you’ll hold me in your arms… keep me safe and warm… …and give me a kiss “hello.”
Kitty: I…promise.
Rachel: Thank you.Have I mentioned how much I ship Rachel/Kitty lately?]
Reblogging for heartbreaking scene and excellent commentary. Rachel hoping for a future where someone she loves will “keep [her] safe and warm” my god—
And if Jean ~must~ stay dead (mutter hiss mutter), Rachel is the only acceptable Phoenix host to me.
More 90’s Lobdell. I’m convinced that the guy over at DC right now is Mirror-verse Lobdell. It’s the only thing that makes sense.
All of this. <3 Rachel.
Jean, you’re doing it wrong, you fucking sloppy drunk bitch.
LMAO
Favorite post ever.
