Negative Romys (bc I know there must be chill ones out there) @ Roguneto in Xmen 97: “NOOOOOO HOW COULD THE WRITERS DO THIS AND DESTROY ROGUE X REMY?! POOR GAMBIT!!!”

Me: *side-eying all of the Marvel material that clearly shows that Romy content severely outnumbering Roguneto content by a landslide and the same Roguneto content winding up being ruined anyway by later writers just because they can* “Ah, yes…poor Gambit…”

All jokes aside, I wonder if the Romys’ concern is that if Roguneto is positively received = somehow becoming canon in the comics later? Because I know Marvel (and DC) has a history of taking a few things that the movies/shows/ side comics have done that were well received by fans or were anticipated to be well received ahead of time by fans and sometimes the companies themselves and incorporating them into the comics later

(ex. X-23 from X-Men Evolution to actual comics, Tony Stark’s personality eventually just becoming Robert Downey Jr as a comic book character, Samuel Jackson!Nick Fury from Ultimate Marvel to MCU to secret son of original Nick Fury and goes by the same name, Magneto’s Helmet protecting him from telepathy in Xmen First Class Movie to comics, Comic!Rogue’s real first name being a combination of her movie self’s name and that actress’s first name, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver not being related to Magneto after all bc their movie selves weren’t, Gwen Stacy’s fun alternative existence as Spider-Gwen/Woman , Miles Morales’s (yay!) existence, Tom Hiddleston’s portrayal of Loki influencing the comic version of him to become a sad little meow meow, Age of Apocalypse’s version of Changling/Morph being brought into X-Men 97, etc)

, but if one truly counts all of the slight/significant changes Marvel Comics have made to the main timeline because of other material, it’s REALLY not a lot.

There’s no need for anyone who ships Romy (which I also ship in addition to Roguneto bc yay multishipping!) to feel threatened by potential romantic alternatives.

And just in case the romantic ships might be altered after all (not likely): if the Multiverse is a thing, maybe we consider it’s not the end of the world if the relationships in the X-Men animated universe is not 100% going to follow how they played out in the comics.

ALSO also, when all else fails, they can just develop their writing/art skills and make fix-it aus 😆

The chaotic neutral part of me actually kinda still hopes that enough people with get on board with Roguneto though so that the comics will see the enthusiasm for them and bring them back in the main universe and shake things up again or in one of the official alternate universes and give them the love and respect the pairing deserves 🤪

I really appreciate your comments. I suppose there could be concerns from the Romy contingent regarding this. Sadly, I think at this point corporate IP is too dedicated to keeping the status quo maintained as it is for the longest time.

I agree with you, I see her relationship with Magneto as brief trysts in the mainstream universe, and an occasional AU marriage reveal. I think that Rogue and Gambit will remain a couple in the mainstream universe despite this current twist in the '97 series. There's too much time and money spent into the material, merchandise, and story that's been built for Romy in reality across various media, and in the perception of people's memories which sometimes have a rosy nostalgic glow. It takes a lot to re-educate an audience and I don't see corporations having that time and patience.

Jean and Scott will always remain together. Meggan and Brian are a duo for all time. Sue and Reed Richards are going to stay married.

No matter what, the story will always return to that. In this reboot, I think it's to give Magneto an extra angle and further reason to stay at the mansion if you leave in doubt his and Rogue's activities on and off camera.

I think my biggest complaint is how there's a circling of the wagons around Rogue when anyone (but particularly Magneto) is interested in her. It frustrates me because I believe characters should experience a lot of different relationships. It builds for a more well rounded person in reality, and a better character in the story. But with Rogue, why isn't she allowed to have other romantic encounters? Why must there be a strange arguments about age, about experience? These are traumatized beautiful people with fancy abilities in a soap opera. With capes. (And occasional opera gloves)

In short, I believe that instead of one ship, a character deserves an armada. I agree, alternate universe pairings would be fun too!

I too enjoy drama and can't wait to see how the show plays out this romance.

i've been seeing you draw so many adorable mlp ships and i can't help but wonder.... do you ship any of your own little ponies?

i have a few! i used to have a good bit more but a good sum of my mlp ocs have been sold off or turned into none horse designs lol

but theres these ones i have! 

klutz step and Diala. They were made very seperatly for different stuff. Klutz step was made for an rp blog forever ago and Diala was made for an RP but over time i wrote their stories togeather.

Klutz step is a goofy friendly unicorn who as an adult still has not gotten her cutie mark. shes very optimistic and is a freelancer doing jobs around town. 

Diala is a princess character from a video game one of Klutz step friends develop. while testing out the game some magic bullshit happened and Diala became sentient and ended up in the real world. her and klutz step are BEST friends they love each other a lot but Klutz step is trying to hide her new roommate from the world. as she looks, sounds and glitches out like a robot.

then i have Hairtrim and Spotlight Number! their not togeather but theres stuff there

hairtrim is ofc a barber, hates to be called a stylist, hes defiantly works at a shop that still have the barber spiral outside. He’s kinda  grump but a good worker. he rooms with spotlight and a third friend Coffee brew who just kinda hanging out lol. Spotlight Number is a drag queen performer and him and hairtrim are very night and day. 

Spotlight has recently adopted a son, showtime and is planning to move out. Hairtrim has a huge crush on spotlight but doesnt like to admit it. he tells spotlight he is interested in him but that ‘hes not gay bro’

spotlight thinks hairtrim is very sweet and a good guy but isn’t looking for someone whos gonna be in a denial or not lookin to stick around. hairtrim is tryna grow up and get in touch with his feelings while spotlights raising his son and waitin for the day. 

then, ironically

when i was originally into mlp i had made my ponysona a boyfriend, a changeling named reflection whos whole thing was that typical changling oc thing is being a changling who wasnt evil. he was just a bro.

but its been years, i still have reflection just as an oc and now i have a ponysona design again so this is more or less a shout out to them!

(i also had a genderswap ponysona, hhhh CRINGE i know. and he had a boyfriend. im not quiet sure how i didn’t realize i was a gay trans boy yet but yknow. anyways i still have those ocs but their just no longer horses lol)

The Art of Storytelling

Over the past month, I’ve been telling my story to the goblins of clan Goblinfox as well as any interested coworkers, which I suppose at least some of the goblins might count as.  I conduct these tales in the faemote house.  As faintly upsetting as it is to be back in the Faewild, the familiarity of my old living space is comforting.  The observatory is fine for spring and summer weather, but I fear that the colder months may render it wholly unsuitable.

Regardless, I told them of the small brushes with goblin culture in the marshes, of the splashing and of the rest house.  I then told them another marsh story of that damned fish, the one that’s carved into my blade.  At the end, I summoned it and let it swim through the air.  Much to Clord’s displeasure.

He’s so suspicious of the sword.  Yes, it was Lewellyn’s.  Yes, he went crazy and died and now I have it.  It’s not wiggly star stuff, and that displeases me too!  And finally, I would NEVER release anything dangerous onto a gathering of my friends and coworkers!  The fish is under my command, as my... weapon.  It was of no risk whatsoever.

I really must find some way to compile these tales into something more easily accessable.  They’re quite fascinating.

.

Much later in the month, one of the newer assistants (a changling who calls herself Baby-Eater — also a regular attendant of my stories) told us of a strange encounter at the docks.  Some man had invited her and the rest of the library to dinner.  I decided to attend.

The man, Zardoz, really was... something.  His ship was named Eye Catcher, and the two for his carnival were Heartthrob and Hell-Raiser.  The men he employed were fairly handsome, though Zardoz himself was a little disconcerting.  The man was coated in illusion magic and could sense when I invoked my... associate’s presence, which most people cannot.  I do not trust him more than I can throw him, though I suppose I could fling him a good distance if pressed.  Assuming he consented to being thrown; he does have that aura to him.  Someone who talks like they think nothing of backing it up.

Regardless, we had a lovely dinner.  Lance traded a story of Dark Market for more information regarding the nimblewright population of Waterdeep (there’s been an under-the-table sale of one to a noble family lately — perhaps our culprit?).  Zardoz may take us up on a “safari” at some point, but I did invite him back for dinner.  It is only polite.

Perhaps he is a dragon in disguise who has been granted passage into Waterdeep.
