🔥🔥 “Rogue and Gambit #3” 🔥🔥

The Taste Of Love Is Sweet When Hearts Like Ours Meet…

One of the things I love about Kelly Thompson’s Rogue & Gambit series is that it not only brought back Rogue and Gambit as a couple, but also the seldom used endearment of “mon coeur.” Gambit first uses this in John Francis Moore’s X-Men Annual (1997) as he and Rogue share a rare moment of domestic bliss and kiss without consequences more dire than gumbo boiling over. Hearts– along with the French language– are infamous clichés of romance in American culture and are so over-used that they become stale and shallow vestiges of deep genuine feeling. However when used unironically, sincere sentiment can redeem even clichés from stagnant ubiquity and ineffective schmaltz. For Gambit to refer to his heart– something integral to the core of his being– in reference to Rogue usually only occurs in moments of true vulnerability, either when he is being completely honest with himself, or when he feels so close to Rogue that their heartbeats could be synchronized. Part of the reason this has such a powerful resonance is because it suggests an impossible acknowledgement of his own inception as a character– and that without Rogue, there would be no Remy LeBeau.

By the time Gambit was introduced, Rogue was already a fleshed-out dynamic character. Their creator, Chris Claremont has stated that although he did not originally intend for them to become the power couple they are today, Gambit was essentially created for Rogue. Over the years, writers have made Gambit a compelling character himself, revealing the heart among the aces he hides up his sleeve. In Klaus Janson’s Gambit #3 (1994), Mattie Baptiste assures Rogue that Gambit has a “heart of gold.” Scott Lobdell’s X-Men #48 (1996) contains the first correlation I have noticed between Gambit, Rogue, and the Queen of Hearts. In that issue Gambit purposely loses a poker game even though he has a winning hand consisting of the Ten, Jack, Queen, King, and Ace of Hearts. Before discarding the ace, Gambit instructs Cannonball, “Never ever show all y'cards at once” – alluding to Rogue’s rejection of his own heart in Fabian Nicieza’s X-Men #45 (1995). Finally, in Steve Seagle’s Uncanny X-Men #350 (1997), Rogue, aware of the significance that playing cards have for Gambit, symbolically inserts herself into the deck by giving him the Queen of Hearts as a way to remember her, and later that issue throws it back before she abandons him. Claremont, who similarly has Nightcrawler refer to Daytripper as his “heart” in Nightcrawler’s 2014 series, renewed the heart theme for Rogue and Gambit in X-Treme X-Men. Ready to sacrifice himself, Gambit asks Bishop to tell Rogue, “Mon coeur et sa coeur… toujours.” When his “sweetheart” tries to rescue him, the two are impaled together– through their hearts. Later they agree to move forward with their relationship, and Rogue drops Gambit’s cards– with the Queen and Jack of Hearts falling together. In James Asmus’ Gambit #11 (2013), Gambit suggests that Rogue absorb his powers before a fight, handing her cards with the Queen of Hearts on the top of the deck. Later in the series, Gambit is hurt when Rogue labels him as a “thief at heart”– inadvertently dismissing his deeds as a hero and his love for her.

The heart theme between Rogue and Gambit persists into alternate realities. In Chad Bowers and Chris Sims’ X-Men ‘92 #10 (2016), as Rogue flies away Gambit says, “Je t'aime de tout mon coeur.” Ivan Velez Jr and Klaus Janson’s What If…? #100 (1997) has Gambit scatter a deck of cards composed of only Queen of Hearts cards while thinking about Rogue, foreshadowing the significance the card would have in the main 616 universe with UXM #350’s release a few months later. In the television series X-Men Evolution episode “Day of Reckoning” (2001), Gambit simply hands the love-struck Rogue a charged Queen of Hearts rather than fight her during their first encounter. In “Cajun Spice” (2003), Gambit kidnaps Rogue and monologues to her that he always saves the Queen of Hearts to use last because he considers “her” lucky. By the end of the episode they genuinely empathize with each other and he again gives Rogue a Queen of Hearts, this time as a gift. Brian K. Vaughan’s Ultimate X-Men #51 (2004) begins with a parallel scenario. Gambit kidnaps Rogue and suggestively asks her to play hearts. Rogue kisses Gambit to absorb his powers. In the processes she glimpses a memory of a dark-haired woman with an eye patch, telling Remy, “…tu es mon coeur… tu es mon âme” – which is very similar to what Gambit says to Rogue in Claremont’s X-Treme X-Pose #2 (2003): “…you are in my heart and soul.”

Legacy

A few of our prompts this year make specific reference to the comics. We know that not everyone has read the comics (there are a lot of X-Men comics out there) and we don’t want anyone to feel left out.

So, without further ado… Legacy.

First, as the prompt is written, you can create your fanworks around the concept of legacy—of what a person leaves behind, their long lasting impact on the world. This could be children, inspiration, etc. Or, it could even be a meta exploration about Rogue and Gambit’s impact on comics, the X-Men, or any other medium they’re in. Feel free to play with this concept of legacy.

Now, if you’re interested in the character of Legacy, read on.

In 2011, there was a X-Men Legacy/New Mutants crossover event called ‘Age of X.’ In this bubble, alt-universe, dystopian world, Rogue goes by Legacy.

As Legacy, she’s present whenever another Mutant dies. She absorbs them, preserving their memories and, in a way, memorializing their lives. Because she mostly appears when Mutants die (and there are quite a few deaths since they are being hunted to extinction), other Mutants begin associating her with death. They call her Reaper, a name which she despises and continually asks them to not to call her that. Due to various reasons, Legacy spends most of her time alone, or sequestered in the Fortress.

This is a lonely existence for Legacy. And here enters our hero.

Gambit does go by Gambit, although he uses a long rifle instead of cards. One of the first times Legacy and Gambit meet, he calls her Legacy (her preferred name). When she asks him why he is helping her, he proclaims, “I don’t even know, chère. I saw you fighting, is all. And I knew what side of the fight I wanted to be on.”

Anyways, they go on a quest together to discover the truth behind the contradictions of their dying world, share a few romantic moments, and are willing to lay down their lives for each other. Even though they just met, they work together like they’ve been partners their entire lives. Truly, Romy are the OTP across the Multiverse.

In the end, they save the day and everyone is returns to the regular 616 universe. Most participants in this bubble world choose to forget about it, but Rogue retains Legacy’s memories.

The entirety of Legacy’s appearances occur in the AoX arc and for once, it is relatively achievable to read the entire crossover. Below is the reading with the essential Romy moments bolded.

👏 👏👏💯💯💯

I’ve noticed in the last 10-15 years that content seems to run along a similar narrative. I’m specifically referring to movies and tv shows here, but I’ve seen the same trope over and over: kill off the love interest/father for the sake of “proving” how strong women are. And I hate it. Here are some examples (spoilers)

1. Reylo (Star Wars). I understand that this pairing is highly controversial, but it’s the story that bothers me. Rey and Ben are set up as a Force Dyad. Essentially, they’re soulmates. And they won’t find anyone else like them for the rest of their lives. So what is the natural path for soulmates in love to take? Well, one of them must die. In this case, Ben dies. Rey spoke endlessly about wanting a family and by the end of the movie, she’s alone, with exactly zero family, and her soulmate is dead. But look how strong she is! Barf.

2. James Bond. The ending of the last Daniel Craig movie drove me nuts. After years of being a womanizer, he finally finds someone who he can love. And they have a daughter together. Anyone with a brain and a heart would assume the ending would be him retiring to be with his family and happy. But no. Instead, he’s injected with a virus that will KILL HIS DAUGHTER if he touches her and instead sacrifices his life. But look! His girlfriend and their daughter are so strong.

3. Hawkeye. In the comics, Kate Bishop’s mom dies. In the TV show, they kill off her dad. Why? No idea. I assume it’s to show how strong her mom is and how two women overcame the hardship of losing a husband and father. Boring.

4. Lucifer. Not only does Chloe have two daughters, but both dads are out of their lives. Dan is killed and Lucifer is forced back to Hell. This leaves Chloe to raise her children on her own for the rest of her life (look how strong she is) and her “reward” for this is to die an old woman, completely alone at her deathbed except for one daughter, and end up in Hell to help Lucifer. Wtf is this nonsense.

5. Tony Stark. Heroic death, to be sure. But again, a husband and father on the OG team dies. But Pepper and Morgan are so strong. Look at them. They don’t need no man.

My point? Killing off Gambit isn’t good writing. It’s unoriginal. It’s lazy. And again, it’s trying to show how strong a woman is and how she doesn’t need love. The memory of love is good enough. I’m sorry, but fuck that. I’m not even a sucker for happy endings but at this point, any happy ending would be a welcome change. For the showrunners to go on and on about how Rogue and Gambit are the one true pairing and then kill off Gambit as if the tragedy of that is good enough to make the show great is both an insult to the emotional intelligence of the audience and crappy writing.

It’s not a homage to the strength of women to kill off their partners and imply that for the rest of their lives, they’ll never feel true love again. It’s actually some weird misogynistic, virgin obsessed bullshit.

My Ship…💔
