Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

I mean, she wasn't worshipped for making clouds, she was worshipped for having literal godlike control over the weather at any scale from room-sized to planetary.
Meanwhile Rogue has to deal with not only killing everything she touches (for long enough; she mostly just renders them unconscious), but also (temporarily, in most cases) absorbing their memories and personality, to the point that if it weren't for Xavier she wouldn't even know which memories and personality are her own.
I mean, sure, it's a metaphor for the civil rights movement and all that, but you can only stretch the metaphor so far.
Even Xavier didn't hesitate to send Logan to murder the kid who had the misfortune of having just got the power to instantly, automatically, and unwillingly kill anything in a several kilometre radius.
Certainly would've been nice to have a cure in that case, or Rogue's, or so many other mutants' who weren't born lucky enough to be X-Men material.
