This mix has been in the works for a really long time. Months, actually. It started off Jean-centric, then became kind of Jean/Scott, and then turned into some horrible monster of angst and woe. Albeit only eight tracks long. I started it after reading Morrison's New X-Men, but kind of let it go for a while...I guess I was finally inspired to finish it because I picked up Jean at C&C and proceeded to make long angsty logs with Scott-mun. That particular RP stint didn't work out, but that doesn't matter.
And then because I like pretty pictures...I decided to make pretty pictures for all the lyrics. Which was a mistake because it turned into some kind of graphics project as well. And ffffff I totally made myself cry when I was doing the last two. Because Scott and Jean were such an awesome couple as young X-Men. They were meant to be together; they were the Golden Couple of the team. But it worked so beautifully because they were teenagers in love, growing up together. And after they finished growing up and Scott had the temporary evil personality merge and Jean's Phoenix powers started coming back and everything...well, things just fell apart. And then Scott had an affair with Emma and Jean died and then it was all beyond fixing. *heartbreak*
FOR THE RECORD, I AM A SCOTT/EMMA SHIPPER. See,
