Q: Do you think that marriage changed their dynamic at all?
A: Not for me, but for other writers, maybe.
Q: [laughing]
A: I don’t know why marriage has to be boring. I don’t get it. It’s the same relationship it was before. Why would that change it? […] I’m not saying that Rogue and Gambit didn’t grow into more interesting and complex versions of their brash, younger, slightly more villainous selves. Like, they’re very true heroes to me, both of them.
But they have interesting angles all over them. And they’re super hot. Why would anyone try to shave off those angles, or make them not hot, because they’re married now? […] Now they’re married, and so we think they have to have these kinds of fights. […] But our characters are superheroes! Their lives are already filled with action! They’re already filled with drama, they’re already filled with high stakes.
We don’t have to make the marriage boring. It can just be part of who they are.

relax and catch the manic rhapsody: summon on the pearl rosary
(oscar piastri/girl!lando norris, explicit, ch1 of 2, 1.7k)
Oscar's phone lights up where it’s plugged in on the bedside table.
It’s a text from Lando, a string of almost incomprehensible emojis. A comb, what google tells him is a shaking head, a knot, the shaking head’s nodding counterpart, and then several in a row so suggestive he can feel himself blushing. Complete nonsense, he supposes, to anyone else. Practically a novel to him.
