Remember in the Nightcrawler episode of the original series how Remy heated his coffee using his powers and it didn't explode?
It would have been interesting for Gambit to use that skill when touching Rogue. Rogue could feel heat when holding hands (and massages and more intimate touches), even if they are separated by gloves, clothes, etc.
He would need some training to make sure it's safe and does not burn her, obviously, but at the same time it could have shown to Rogue that she is not the only one who needs to practice control, sharing that burden with Remy. That would teach them to trust each other and most importantly, trust themselves.
I'm pretty sure Rogue and Gambit would have loved exploring alternative ways to touch each other. Even if they can't touch skin to skin, they could have developed something unique and deeply personal, just between the two of them. Something new for both Rogue and Gambit, that they could experiment together, at the same time, at their own pace. A new kind of intimacy. That could have been beautiful ❤️💔
Not sure if it would have worked, but in a universe filled with superpowers, time travel, futuristic technology and aliens, I mean why not. Thoughts?
Feel free to use this idea as a prompt for your artwork/fanfic/headcanon/etc
I’m pretty sure we only saw Gambit shirtless once in the original X-Men the Animated Series but in the first three episodes of X-Men 97 we’ve seen this man shirtless at least once per episode
I don’t have a point here other than to point this out
I like to headcanon that there are times Rogue still does this for old time's sake. It's easy to romanticize the past, and while I think Rogue does a fair job of keeping herself (and Remy) in check when their minds start to head that way, I think she's reached a point where she can look back on some things fondly.
Is there anything better than starting the weekend? Well, how about a new contributor announcement to sweeten the deal?!
That's right, this week we have the privilege to introduce you to the astonishing artistry of Kory! Please check out her socials and give her a like and a follow! Excited to have her onboard. 🙌
