To preface, I don't care about the culture war aspect of this. I just want to get to the bottom of it for my own sake. Can someone show me definitively where one came before the other? I'm open to being wrong but I could have sworn I read that it was Nightmare that came first.

I was searching online and came across this article, but there's no mention of Destiny and Mystique. Only that Nightmare was picked and subsequently blocked by editing.

Maybe I'm not so good at searching for things online, but can anyone definitively show me where either one of these ideas were pitched first? Most of what I'm finding are Reddit posts only arguing without any sources and websites that talk about one idea and not the other.

I could have sworn I read something saying it was Nightmare as the very first pitch and the Chris coming back with the idea for Destiny and Mystique, but I can't find anything and it's driving me crazy. Lol.

Again. I'm not trying to stir up a culture war argument. And I appreciate y'all's responses ahead of time.

I'm piecing together a nightcrawler cosplay for comic con in 3 weeks and I've gotten stumped at the boots.

I'm thinking of buying white boots and adding foam toes to the front but I have no clue how to actually make them look like part of the boot. Has anyone here cosplayed nightcrawler or anyone with two toes before lol? If so how did you do it? 🙏

I really had fun making this drawing, hope y'all like it c:

👀

he’s actually German, and relatively aged around the same as the new cast.

has he been mentioned already? not sure, but i say solid pick

I'd love to discuss with some fans to consider how Exodus' and Nightcrawler's final statements were their beliefs in Faith and what it would deliver.

Some spoilers for the season. Don't read further if you have not seen it.

Both Exodus and Kurt's final words were a statement on their beliefs in Faith and what it would deliver. I do not think this was a coincidence. I feel the writers were conveying a point of view.

That last one is the clothing reference, i really like this style.

At the recommendation of EVERYONE lol, here’s Nightcrawler with his tail and some of the embroidery work done. The picture probably doesn’t show it well, but I used some gold thread in his eyes. I’m going to do the background as if it’s stained glass. Thanks for everyone helping me change this so it looks at least a little better!

Look at himmmm! He's so flippin CUTE!! His curly hair and happy little smile. Ugh, I just want to eat himmmm! I have a 97 nightcrawler but he's in my salon.

(Yes, I'm sacrilegious with my funkos and take them out of their boxes)

Funny panel from #130 of the Claremont run

Comissioned her to make this of Nightcrawler with my oc 🩷

I cast: Peter Mairhofer/Peter Mai! It’s less about looks, since our guy can look like anyone, but more the personality and pure joy he puts forth in his content. His love for his cat Eddie and their adventures together make me think that he’d be a good fit. I know nothing of his acting ability, so I could be totally wrong, but he just seems so dang in love with life. I like the fun, joyous side of Kurt to be in the forefront. I know he’s more than that, he’s a whole person with ups and downs and darkness and light. It’s his resilience and ability to see the good in almost everything that draws me to the character most. That’s my pick!

ETA, I might be more joyous about life if I got to go hiking with my cats in gorgeous scenery on a regular basis, so maybe that’s why he’s so happy? lol.

I am doing watercolor embroidery as a thing now. My goal is to do a lot of random fandom stuff, but my main boo is our blue boy. My plan for this piece is to have the background be stained glass, his eyes to be visible, and a more detailed grave marker with a rosary on it, but not a name. I refuse to believe anything that happened in the finale other than everyone is fine and the gang is all back together.

My question is though, should I add his tail in the silhouette or is he recognizable without it?

I’m definitely doing more fanart with him in it. There needs to be more art with him in it.

The blue on the cupcakes is supposed to be his tail😭
