Reflexive adaptation has kept Darwin alive through a whole MESS of bullshit (including poor FOX franchises) 

THEY WERE ROBBED! I made this question because some of our mutants are getting done dirty, and there was no one better to call than @thehermeister. Here's a 5min preview as we chat relegated faves, fucked up trends, babysitting and the JubiLegion!

Mystery! go Listen! 

Inferno is inferning, so Evan comes back to guess how much Emma actually knows about the conspiracy she's blowing up.

You might think it's a bug, you might think I'm having a stroke, neither is true. I just realised, after a full year, that having a blindfold episode is kinda pointless if you're not also in on the fun, so from now on we'll be finding out what the question is together. You feel that? That's *immersion*. Hit play!  

From a demon dimension to an island, to a planet. It's been a hell of a year for the OG mutants, so Caleb joins me to discuss why so many black readers have seen them as a specifically black analogy. Also whether we're ready to claim them wholesale for the delegation. Of course, there's an extended section about Sobunar 🥴

It's time for you to get introduced! Get your life. Get your info. Your X starts now 

We're leaning into the filth and talking about which mutant we could see relying on that body! You know you wanna hear this one! For the full mess, join us on Patreon.com/xofwords.

NEW GUEST! We talk about why your girl has so conspicuously avoided getting put in one o them big eggs. Is there (as we say repeatedly in this episode) a fly in the ointment? Is Emma a coloniser? WIll khalid cancel himself. All this and more! 

It's an Ororoswind episode, and something's shifted, because we go the full ten mins without a mention of Storm. We dig into the past, present and future of Ms Miss Me With It herself. Alisa Tager. Come get it.
