#figaro (gambit’s cat)

[timbit-robin-art]

I saw you compared Gambit to a cat once. Have you seen the pages of him and his kitties? He has a orange, white and black one I think their names are Figaro, Oliver, and Lucifer

Yesss, I have seen him with his kitties. I have been bouncing around with comics, so I’ve read the issue where Mystique gives him the kitties + their appearances in All New X-Factor. But most importantly, I’ve read all of Marvel Meow. Objectively one of the most important comic book series ever. You must read Marvel Meow or else you aren’t a real comic book fan.

I learned that they’re named after Disney cats. I only recognize Lucifer, since he’s from one of my favorite Disney movies ever, Cinderella. When trying to find Gamboi cat appearances, I noticed some people find it weird that the pelt colors of the kitties don’t match their Disney counterparts. Someone suggested an in-universe solution of Gambit being some sort of colorblind. While I don’t think there needs to be an explanation for Gamboi’s cats to be named what they are, I find that idea very cute.

Here is a really important something

Gambit cat’s dad.

I love every iteration where we can see these littles precious things. And tbh I love even more the "Gambit is cat dad, Rogue is cat mom" comics. Since it’s so difficult for her to imagine having children….or well…having literally everything ‘in’ her body, (can’t imagine the pure fear if she loose control of her powers while being pregnant and I think, because of that we will likely never see Rogue being a mom) Im so happy when it’s just these two and their cats. I wish they adopt more of them bc Remy had these cuties before Rogue, and it’s seems fair to me that they go to a petshop in order to adopt another. One that Rogue can name :3

Thanks it was headcanon time + fanart Hehehe

I’m going to be so mad if gambits cats aren’t in Gail Simone’s Uncanny run

Gambit before marrying Rogue: An enigma, pure edge and mystery. All he does is chain smoke, thieve, and break hearts. Only three people have ever been able to get through his icy cold exterior

Gambit now: a house husband with three cats who hosts a weekly poker game with his buddies and tags along on his friends adventures (only if he can be back in time to see his wife and cats). Have I mentioned that he has cats because he will take every opportunity to tell you about his babies. Their names are Oliver, Lucifer and Figaro :) they’re named after Disney characters and-

Fun Fact!

In the comics, Gambit and Rogue have 3 CATS in the comics: gifted to them by Mystique when she saved them from being eaten by Sabretooth

(their names are Lucifer, Oliver, and Figaro)

"Do I look like her?"

Remy Lebeau x fem!reader

A/N: Here's my first little one shot for the after party of our main event! you don't have to read/attend the main event but if you'd like to.. Here's your invitation to "May the cards be in our favour." Thank you for all the support on the main series! Here's a well deserved Angst/comfort tiny tale <3

────────────────⋆༺𓆩🂱𓆪༻⋆─────────────────

Things played out well for you.

Of course it did.

Sure, you lost everything..But you healed. You accepted a new life. Hell, you even got the guy.

So why is it so..numbing?

Why do you feel like you're walking on thin glass, prepared to shatter under the weight of your heavy heart, when you wake up next to him? He’s not a bad guy. Remy Lebeau is anything but bad.

He’s gentle. Despite your past, your fears, he’s never once doubted you..so why are you doubting him? He knows what it’s like to lose someone. He lost you. Well, a version of you. 

That’s what has your mind all twisted.

Her.

Well, you.

It was haunting, knowing that there once was a you that he loved so much. You wonder if maybe..just maybe. If she was still alive, would you stand in the same place? Would you wake up next to him? Would you share breakfast together? Take care of the cats? 

The worst thing was, you didn’t know.

She meant so much to him.

Could you even compare to her? 

- - - - - - -

You stand in the kitchen, the cats demand their breakfast. They circle you like you’re prey. Tiny predators pawing at your legs. They’re cute..demanding? But cute. Lucifer, the ginger cat, drags his claws down the food cabinet. You give him a look, something along the lines of, “seriously?” and in response..he does it again. Slower. He’s such a little shit. He really lives up to the name. Oliver, the grey cat, circles you. He nuzzles up to your legs. He's trying to use his affection to coax you into opening that damn cabinet. Finally, Figaro, the white cat, simply just sits there. Purring. He’s using his cute little face to try and win you over.

“Boys..five minutes, literally..just five.”

The door of the bedroom creaks open and there he is. Remy, He got out of the shower earlier, he’s dry and dressed now. Apart from his hair, which you can tell is a little damp still.

His scarlet gaze finds yours and he gives you a grin before turning his attention the his cats, who stare up at him expectantly.

“Boys..what’re you crowdin’ your momma for, aye? Where’s dem manners? You aint supposed to crowd a lady.”

He scolds them so gently, it's actually kinda funny. The best part? They listen.

Oh.

I should probably give context to your current situation.

After the near end of the universe, the destruction of your world and the pain and weight of it all..Wade wilson begged the TVA to let you stay right here. They obliged due to your..heroic acts and now you live across from Wade and Logan, who also agreed to stay. Wade retrieved Remy (and Laura) from the void, blah blah blah..you kissed, he moved in, you’re together and now you own three cats.

All caught up? Good.

Remy heads over to the cabinet, pulling out the cat food tin. The cats crowd him instead. A chorus of pleased meows follow him as he dishes up the food. Normally, you’d find a strange sense of joy watching him tend to his cats but today..you had this nagging feeling. It tugged at your heart, sending dull throbs of longing into your soul.

You were snapped from your trance by familiar hands placing themselves on your waist. The Cajun male presses a lingering kiss to your forehead. It tingles. You knew he was being sincere yet it all felt so..hollow.

“You've been frownin’ since ya got outta bed, chère. C’mon, Tell Gambit what’s got you all tied?..”

You meet his gaze. You always do. He finds your eyes all the time and the weight of his sentence. The affection, the care that’s laced into his words..

It cracks the wall you tried to build, the bricks crumble and you stand there..

Vulnerable.

Before you know it, tears begin to well up and it takes Remy no longer than a second to scoop you up. His strong arms encase your frame so gently, his hand runs up and down your back.

“Ma belle..what’s goin’ on? What’s all dem tears for, huh?”

He coo’s so sweetly, leading you to the couch. He takes a seat, pulling you into his lap so you straddle him. One hand lays on your thigh, his skilled fingers tracing soft circles against the skin whereas his other hand works on wiping your tears and pushing the hair out of your face. He runs a hand over your hair before cupping your cheek. All his movements are with practised ease. He knows your body like he knows his cards.

He deserves an explanation. 

He’s been nothing but a picture perfect boyfriend and you’ve been cold to him. You have no idea how he put up with it.

You gather yourself, alongside your thoughts, and you allow some much needed air into your lungs, soothing your nerves.

“It’s– it’s ridiculous really– I think..I'm jealous? Envious? I don’t know but– it's her! Me! Whoever it is! You..you loved her so much! How..how can i even come close to what she had– who she was to you–”

He was confused for a moment before it clicked. You felt..less inferior to his past version of yourself. He felt sick. A rush of nausea overwhelmed him. He never meant for this to happen. Not like this.

He watched the tears slowly slide down your cheeks, his thumb stilled. For a second, you thought he might shove you off his lap, maybe even leave out the door but instead his palms rushed forward to cradle your face. 

“Oh..chère..mon amour–”

He brings you closer, taking your hand and placing it over his heart so you could feel the steady thump.

“She..she was a piece of me– a piece of my past but oh..chère..”

You could hear it in his voice, he’s getting choked up.

“She ain’t you..and you ain’t her. Even Gambit knows dat. Ya got de same face but not de same heart. Not de same soul..”

He brings his hands down to find yours. His own eyes betray him, they grow watery as he presses kiss after kiss to your knuckles.

“Gambit don’t want you feelin’ like a replacement cuz you ain’t. You’re his future. Dat’s what you are. Ain’t no second choice.”

He presses his forehead to your knuckles, it’s like he’s silently begging for forgiveness. He inhales with a shudder.

You can’t find that feeling anymore. The feeling of nagging, the pain, the anxiety.

It’s all gone. Thanks to him.

Now it’s your turn, you tilt his head up with shaky hands and bring him towards you. His nose gently bumps against yours. He holds your wrists like he’s scared that if he lets go..you’ll vanish.

He knows what’s coming yet his heart still flutters when you press your lips to his. It’s slow at first but then a string of desperation ties itself into the mix. His usual skilled hands scramble to grasp your hips while you tangle your fingers in his hair. It’s soft, still a tiny bit damp from his shower but it’s soft. He pulls back only to kiss your cheek, then your jaw, then your neck. He continues to travel till he reaches your collarbone. The whole way down he praises you, he worships you like you're an angel on earth..and to be honest? When you hold him like this he thinks you just might as well be.

He finally pulls away, taking in your flushed cheeks and the dots of red that linger on your skin from his heavy kisses. He gives you a grin. You get to see his jagged canine peek out from his lips. He doesn’t need to say anything because you already know.

He doesn't need to say anything. 

But he does.

“I love you..Gambit loves you so much..”

The cats all clamber onto the couch, trying to figure out what all the commotion is for. 

You return his words, watching him reach down to scratch lucifer behind the ear.

“I love you too..”

It’s four words that bring a man, and his cats, so much joy.

Perhaps you didn’t have the greatest start but that doesn’t mean you’ll be stuck in the unknown for good. Not when he’s here.

- - - - - - -

When you get into bed that night, your heart feels full. You crawl into waiting arms. Large hands run up and down your back. You can hear the soft purrs of your beloved felines and that's how you know things are going to be fine. 

Remy presses a kiss to your forehead, humming softly as he checks on you, watching you fight the well deserved sleep that creeps over you.

He chuckles softly, his chest rumbles at his laughter and it pulls a sleepy smile onto your lips. With a final kiss against your hair, you hear him.

“You got me, forever..and dere ain’t nothin’ you can do about it..”

He’s teasing. You know he is because why would you wanna do anything about it? He’s perfect.

And he’s yours.

Meow time.

propaganda:

due to rogue's mutation they could not touch each other for a REALLY long time without the possibility of gambit being put into a coma. despite not being able to touch, they fell in love anyway. they had decades of will they/wont they, off-and-on relationship drama that made us want to rip our hair out. some really high highs and some REALLY low lows over the course of their relationship but they have always made their way back to each other. they got married in 2018 after stealing their friends' wedding, and they have three cats named oliver, lucifer and figaro.

[sleepyboy-stuff]

cg!gambit board!! yes i know both the logan moodboards AND this one all have cats in them but. i couldnt resist theyre both just so cat coded (fun fact, remy owns three cats all of which are named after disney characters, lucifer, oliver, and figaro :3)

[hermesserpent-stuff]

more void gambit thoughts

--

Remy rustles his fingers together, giving some soft chirps to a cat that he sees at the end of the alley. A kitten really. He had spotted it when routing through the trash to find something of use, an activity he had not shaken from his time in the void. Now he has a chunk of meat in one hand and is beckoning the kitten with the other. Three names rotate through him Oliver, Lucifer, and Figaro. Belonging to cats he had loved and never had at all. He would like to have a cat, and this scruffing little fellow would fit in perfectly with the rest of the roost.

He croons as it sniffs his crooked fingers and rubs against him. He scratches her ears, singing sofly to the little thing. Her fur is all matted, but he can tell it is a beuatigful inky black. It just needs to be cleaned. And fed. The little damsel begins messily chewing on the bit of the meat, getting fragments everywhere, like powder from a beignet. That's a good name. Beignet.

“Whatcha think Beignet? Wanna come home with ol’ Remy? Blades a real grump but you'd like him.”

[stef-plays]

Andddd another random Marvel fact part 2: Gambit has three cats

So yeah Sabretooth wanting a snack so he got three cats to which Mystique found and saved from Sabretooth, so to save the cats from being eaten she gave the cats to Gambit for some reason even though she really hates him(which is another fun fact for another day but Gambit is a VICTIM is all i’m gonna say) so he got three cats and named them Oilver,Figaro, and Lucifer. Another fun little fact is that Gambit named his cats all after Disney characters Oilver named after the protagonist from Oilver & Company, Figaro being named after Geppetto own cat in the movie Pinocchio, then Lucifer named after Lady Tremaine own cat Lucifer in the movie cinderella so Gambit is a Disney adult or at least a big fan of Disney to name his cats after them and yes all these cats are still alive in earth 616.

Hooked Pt5

Not spicy yet, but it's kinda heading in that direction! Everything not in English is either Google translate, or a little research into common Cajun phrases.

Before she knew it, they were back in the hallway that led to Remy’s room, “Tink ma boys’d like ta see ya, Petite. Gamit know you like dem well ‘nough.” Cinnamon, caramel, warm linin, sunshine. Gambit’s emotions were making her head spin, overwhelming in the best of ways. It was rare she felt such purely positive emotions, and it seemed like every time Gambit was around her, or talking about his cats, that’s all she was subjected to. She wasn’t sure what to make of it. But for now, she would enjoy the feeling of almost floating that his emotions caused her.

“Here we are, Chère.” Instantly she was blushing. One, she knew what that word meant, and two, she realized that he would see her small army of crocheted stuffed animals with her right there as a witness. Oh, she was going to die. Why couldn’t she have developed the ability to phase out of existence instead of Empathy? Maybe she could sneak off as he was opening the door. But just as she went to turn on her heel, Gambit grabbed her wrist and winked at her, “Non, Chère. Remy don’t mean no harm, just wanna give ya some quiet time wit da boys and spend some time wit’cha, das all.” Then, he opened the door and led her inside.

Instantly, Oliver was meowing and jumping at Gambit, but Figaro was winding his way around her ankles. Lucifer walked right up to her, and then lifted his paws into the air, like a toddler saying ‘up!’. It had her heart melting, and she forgot all about how embarrassed she was about to be. She leaned down and picked Lucifer up, cradling him like a small child as she gave him head and chin scritches. His purring was loud enough that he was almost making up for her not being able to speak. She was just getting comfortable when it happened.

“Oh? Wa’s dis? When did Remy get two Luc’fers?” She erupted into a full body blush as she buried her face in the living Lucifer’s fur. An embarrassed wheeze of air escaped her, as if she had physically been punched in the chest with her embarrassment. Lucifer batted at her face with his paw, but there were no claws so he didn’t intend to hurt her. Gambit looked around his room, taking in the Oliver plushie on the dresser, and Figaro was on the bed, sitting next to the Figaro look-a-like. Then he spotted the little crow on the lampshade on his bedside table, and smirked, “Now, Chère. When Gambit said ‘e was waitin’ fer ‘is lil’ gif’, didn’t mean for ya to go all ou’ like dis.” Was his accent thicker? His emotions were all over the place, making her head spin.

Cinnamon, star anise, lemon, orange, bitter-pungent-mulled-cider-tannic-wine. Affection, disbelief, surprise, joy, unworthiness, concern, self-depreciation. Everything hit her at once, so much so that it brought tears to her eyes and all but drop-kicked her embarrassment out of existence. She gently lowered Lucifer to the bed and then walked over to Gambit, her own bitter-orange-pith-citrusy concern flooded her tastebuds as she placed a hand on his shoulder. He turned to look down at her, “Now, wha’ya go an’ make all dis fer an ol’ Brigan’, like me, eh? An’ does Remy see evidence a some’un comin’ and feedin’ his boys?” He motioned to the cat treats that he had not left on the table by the door, and she blushed again.

She frowned in thought, then pulled out her phone and started to rapidly type. After a moment, she held her phone out, and then it started talking out loud, “You said you like cats, so I made you poor imitations of your favorite cats. And you remind me of crows. Playful, mischievous, sneaky, loyal to those who earn it, vindictive to those who deserve it. And more intelligent than you let on.” She placed her free hand on her hip, as if daring him to disagree with her. She wasn’t sure where the confidence was coming from, but she would make use of it while she had it. She began typing again before Gambit could respond, “You deserve nice things, as much as you think you don’t. And don’t try and bullshit an Empath. I can literally feel what you’re feeling right now. And you DO deserve all this. I don’t know what you just called yourself, but take it back.”

Gambit’s red-on-black eyes widened in surprise, then a soft smile bloomed on his lips, “Now, where all dis come from? Lil’ Petite feel less like a chaton and more like a Tigresse. Knew you was an Empath, Wolvie tol’ us all as much. Di’n know how strong a one ya were. Impressive, no’ many can get a read on Ol’ Remy da way you seem ta’ve.” He leaned down to be at eye-level with her, his gaze never breaking from hers, “Tell Remy, if ‘e took a lil’ nibble outta ya, would ya taste as sweet as ya act? Cuz ya sweet as sugar, Chère.” She blushed at his words, but she refused to let him deflect. She began typing again, not breaking eye contact with him the entire time, “Nope. You’re not getting away with it by trying to make me blush. You. Deserve. Nice. Things.”  

This time, his smile was wider. The taste of orange and lemon mingled on her tongue as he leaned impossibly closer, making her back up. But she didn’t have far to go, after just a couple steps her back hit the wall, with Gambit’s hand braced on the wall above her head. She felt her breath catch in her throat as she stared up at him. He was bigger than her, ninety percent of the people around her were, but like this it felt like he absolutely dwarfed her. Had it been anyone else, she would have felt nothing but fear. But something about Gambit; even when caged against the wall with his larger frame surrounding her smaller one, she just felt safe. She bit her lip hard enough to bruise. Her power was clawing at her, her throat constricted as she fought the urge to vocalize anything. Her mind felt like it was splintering as she tried the hardest she ever had in her life to prevent her own emotions from influencing his.

“’S’matter, Chère? Chat got yer tongue? S’okay Belle. Yer face saying ever’t’ing yer pretty lil’ mouth won’t. See, Remy don’ care dat you won’ talk. Ya say plenty, even ‘thout words.” He leaned closer, the heat from his body surrounded her now, his scent; leather, spice and an odd almost metallic-lightning scent that she could only attribute to his power to manipulate bio-kinetic energy, was suddenly all she could focus on. He graced her with a smirk, playful and mischievous; yet sweet and sincere, as he used his thumb and pointer finger to tip her chin up, “Tell Remy ta stop, Chère, an’ ‘e will. No questions asked.”

She chewed harder on her lip, but Gamit used his thumb to pull her lip from her teeth, “None a’dat Chère. Don’ wan’ ya ta go an’ hurt y’self now. Y’ain’t even gotta say nothin’. Just nod, or shake ya head, a’ight?” She took a deep breath and nodded. His smile softened, becoming something more intimate and sincere, “Bien. Remy like ya, fillette. More’n just like. And correct ‘im if ‘e wrong, but Remy t’ink ya like ‘im too. Êtes-vous d'accord ?” The heavier and more vulnerable his emotions, the more he seemed to slip into his Creole French, that she had no idea what over half of the words meant. But she could get the gist of the meaning. She took another deep breath, and then nodded, eyes wide.
