"And are you going to take me on a joy ride, Mein Libeling? Or shall I teleport us back to the apartment to get changed and cleaned up?"

"These are sweet and fibrous. Good to eat when properly cooked. Like an apple and sweet potatoes. They were the main part of a stew I ate - I imagine roasting them will be just as good. Are any of you adept hunters?"

"That being said, I have eaten many a feast while I am here when staying vith the tribes -"

And with that, he began to pick - odd looking gourds with softly iridescent purple splotches along blue skin. Like an apple with glowing grapes sprouting from the sides.

The hotel they were staying in Frankfurt was quite nice. A gift from Emma as part of their tour of Kurt's home country.

"Ve've been tapped for something... Clandestine."

He'd gotten word from Scott via Jean that there was a disturbance in Germany. Great. While he was on his Honeymoon? He sighed, letting the telepath download the details into his mind as he knocked on the bathroom door.

"Tandy darling? Have you the stomach for action?"

He reached out for her hand... and missed by a half inch. The neural pathways were scrambled. Co-ordination...

"Unbalanced...."

"Mein Liebe, I am not vell..."

Being as they were, they are wired into his mind to allow him control over his teleport destinations. To never land inside a person or thing. Knocked silly like this... Every teleport felt blind.

"I can already tell you, I am not in a good vay my love. I couldn't use my power safety if I tried."

~

"Vell... 24 hours vith the love of mein life? Ist a dream come true."

His wound dressed, he was still feeling immensely dizzy. His mutant powers were tied to an advanced version of the human senses - his eye sight, smell, hearing, touch and smell were all just a few hairs sharper.

Kurt also found himself floating in a strange void... Though he kept his eyes closed.

"Vhere have ve ended up...?"

It was all around him, like an eye the remained closed until he parted the lid, slipping through. With her perceptions hijacking the portal, she held the key to navigating the brimstone: Perception itself. Once they were inside, she found she could move in what felt like real time.

🕸️ Ivy and Yu Zhe, just doing NUMBERS. Congrats one the big FOUR DIGIT

🕸️ I'm saying that it's unacceptable and not calling them for what they are does them a service they are undeserving of.

That being said, Dragon Ball is also just straight up for children. Original and original Z/GT are anyway. Fans ruin those more than the source.

🕸️ Adults suck, across all cultures. This is a vast problem and part of a series of issues plaguing all of children media. Saying that Dragon Ball and Naruto AREN'T children's media is misattribution of a problem.

I'm not arguing that they don't have adult material or that they are suitable.

🕸️I mean, that makes it bad media? But it's still a structural power fantasy made of masculine suffering applied to children, for children, and delivered in a medium for children by a company that specializes in children's media.

You ever seen the waistline on most American super hero women?

🕸️ I agree it's fucked up to us from our point of view, but it's a children's franchise. To call them things for adults is just inaccurate.

I'm not saying anything -against- you or anyone else here. Just a fixation on pedantism more than anything.

🕸️ more just a compulsive need to correct minor factual errors.
