So apparently it's ok for R*my shippers to have Rogue and Gambit: Ring of Fire, a series that pretty much retcons Rogue and Gambit's first meeting with Muir Island filler, but God forbid the new upcoming Rogue: The Savage Land does the same for Rogue and Magneto. Pro-R*my writers like Gail Simone's work is the "true" canon but I guess Rogueneto-friendly writers like Mike Carey deserve to be harassed and the shippers bullied by R*my shippers on Twitter and the shippers not "real" Rogue fans unless they ship her with Gambit.

Hmm, if anyone recalls even KT took heat for writing ONE PAGE of Rogueneto that was basically Magneto being a friend to Rogue and telling her to talk with Gambit. The person who made TWO retcon filled mini series dedicated to their ultimate ship love got serious flack from fellow shippers for essentially writing a Romy propping page featuring Magneto.

Even recently this year with X-Men 97, other Romy fans got disenchanted with the ship because of the misogynistic and overbearing reactions of fellow shippers.

That's why I'll never buy into the ship war nonsense or whenever someone tries to claim Rogueneto fans are inherently problematic and troublemakers because the call is literally coming from inside the house. It's always, ALWAYS that one fandom making noise and causing issues when they don't like something. It doesn't have to be about Rogueneto, it could literally be any male or female character with Rogue or even Rogue herself and they will pounce like rabid dogs attacking any and everyone who enjoys something different from them.

Block, mute, and ignore those people because they shouldn't be able to represent their own sub fandoms or disrupt someone's else fun.

Also calling it a ship war is so unfair. It's not. It's just harassment from a larger part of fandom over a smaller portion.

exactly. Not just harassment of a smaller fandom, but harassment of people in their own fandom (which is one of the reasons I left it), harassment of creatives writing the characters, and harassment of really anyone who has different opinions on the characters.

It's obnoxious, but I'm never going to be quiet about this harassment because so many different people and fans have been targeted and ostracized because of some jerks in the fan spaces. It's why I always immediately block and mute certain people on several social media platforms when it comes to Rogue. Because I know for a fact they're miserable people who want to start shit over everything with no sense of self-awareness.

Magneto Headcannon!

X-Men, Magneto Headcanon; Magneto’s base power level significantly increased because his body was de-aged. 

Hey, remember that time Magneto was turned into a baby by his own creation Alpha? 

After which Magneto was given by Charles Xavier to Moira (that’s a whole other thing; https://readallcomics.com/x-men-v2-002/ ) But he was eventually turned back into a man, in the prime of his life, by Erik the Red. 

It’s comic canon that Magneto’s ability to wield magnetism is linked to the state of his physical body. 

My headcanon takes this concept a step further; I believe that due to his youth spent in Nazi occupied Germany and the years of malnutrition both before and after his time in Auschwitz, Magneto’s mutation was delayed (not being consciously aware he was a mutant until he was in his mid-twenties, married to Magda and after having his first born daughter Anya) and the his ability to wield magnetism severely diminished. 

After Magneto was de-aged and brought back to his prime, I don’t think he was aware of it immediately. But by fatal attractions, he’d figured it out and unlocked his true potential.

Granted, I’m tossing over years of comics, but I think there’s something to this <3

Why am I making this post you ask? 

This headcanon might be the basis for a major plot point in my current fic- A Simple Favor 😅 

(links below) 

Feel free to let me know your opinion! 

I think its funny that Jean's two main love interests are men with severe head trauma. And Rogue's into men who look great in purple.

The thing thar kind of rubs me the wrong way about the whole - somethings are only skin deep - quote, Idk, kinda paints Rogue for being shallow. Rogue literally cannot touch people without either absorbing their powers, personality - everything and in certain cases can kill someone if she's not careful. Being forced to live your whole life never being able to touch someone just sounds like torture.

Like I get that Remy is perfectly fine without touch, but what about Rogue. What about what she wants? She wants to be able to touch, feel, hold, kiss - that doesn't make her shallow for wanting that. Even if Gambit's alright with never touching,how long is that relationship gonna last when Rogue continues to watch others be able to do what she can't. What if they wanted children? Then what? Even if they have a surrogate, Rogue will never be able to physical touch or interact with her own child without fear of hurting them.

Btw, I strongly speaking in regards to 97.

I don't know I just don't like it.

I agree. Strangely so much of Rogue's POV about her powers is left in the table when it comes to cartoon and comic book portrayals.

X-Men 97, despite the surprise Rogueneto crumbs, did not endear itself to me in terms of Rogue's story. She did not get to have a real POV about her own character arc. There was the moment in the club in episode 1 and then her thinking about the Savage Land and the Genosha offer in the first half of episode 5, but after that her POV was swiftly switched to be about someone other than herself and her feelings. I feel as though we rarely get to have Rogue's opinions on her own powers and what SHE wants. Like you said, Gambit may have been okay (eh) with not being able to touch, but was Rogue okay? We don't know! We never go any further into her psyche and thoughts about her life and path. It's frustrating as a Rogue fan.

I'm glad you mentioned the implication of believing that wanting to touch physically makes a relationship shallow which also means that Rogue is shallow for wanting to touch. I don't think a lot of people consider that aspect when using that line of reasoning for praising a non-touching relationship. Rogue WANTS to touch, why would she be shallowing for wanting a basic human desire? Rogue can't hug her friends, couldn't even check to see if Nightcrawler was still breathing in episode 5 because she might kill him, she can't wear clothes that leaves her skin bare, she can't be physically or emotionally free. She's not touch adverse because she wants to be, she's forced into it.

It's all so tragic and we never get an indepth POV from her.

happy halloween 🎃🖤

WAIT that’s what that means?? 😭😭

everyone always has a dni for proshippers I thought it was something freaky or fucked up 😭😭

Yeah. Antis like to claim that the "pro" means "problematic", but nope. "Pro" (for) is simply the opposite of "anti" (against), and all that "proship" really means is "Let everyone ship what they want, everyone mind their own business".

Listening to antis about what proshipping means is like listening to incels tell you what feminism means.

I don't like to wade into fandom discourse and at the risk of upsetting any of my followers, if I do, I'm sorry, but I have to say my piece:

I deliberately abstain from involving myself in "pro" vs "anti" 99% of the time, but it really bothers me how I've watched the definition of just a regular shipper become "pro-shipper" and then further be deliberately skewed by folks in real time. Like, listen, I'm in my late 30s, I come from a time where shit like Wincest was just kind of a joke and people who didn't like it ignored it, if you get squicked you don't look. Nowadays people treat that sort of thing as being as bad as real-life murder. Nowadays people act like two *fictional* stepsiblings who weren't raised together falling in love is equivalent to real world incest. Do I like Wincest? No. Do I like step-sibling love stories? No, not really. Do I think either warrants peoples lives being ruined or enduring rampant harassment? Absolutely NOT.

The worst part being is that any time anyone speaks up about this shit, people will crawl out of the woodwork to say "so then you're okay with (real life) pedophilia?" And like... to quote the classic tweet... "No b*tch. Dats a whole new sentence. Wtf is you talking bout?"

Like nowhere else but Tumblr would I be called a "groomer apologist" because I ship two consenting FICTIONAL, NOT REAL adults that just happen to have an age gap. Or a "literal serial killer" because I enjoy horror stuff. Someone once called me a predator because I drew queer smut of adult Digimon because "its a kids show" even though I make deliberately clear to tag and label it and note that my work is not appropriate for nor meant for consumption by minors. Like how fucked up is that? To be an actual real survivor of sexual assault and then be called a predator because you drew Etemon with a dick once?

I don't think pro-shipper is a term that can be salvaged, as it has gone too long being used incorrectly. Maybe it shouldn't be. Nor do I think just not being a cop about fiction should really need a label.

But I think at the very least people should understand that pro-shipper was never about being "pro adults with minors" or "problematic" or "pro [insert rancid thing here.]." It came from a time where ship wars were a regular occurrence, and folks were pushing back against people trying to force others to conform to their tastes instead of curating their own space. It was always about "live and let live", and you didn't HAVE to 'be okay' with gross ass stuff, lord knows I'm not, but you didn't have to see someone who wrote a fanfic and could honestly have some real trauma they are sorting out and equate them with real world predators who hurt real people.

Nowadays, people acting like this in fandom is just so normalized and it genuinely terrifies me in this current fiction climate. In the modern era of the increasing pushes for censorship in fiction and book banning that is a deliberate move by conservatives to make people complacent when they continue to ban books for being too queer. You never have to be "okay" with people writing things that gross you out, or make you uncomfortable, but you can block them and continue on. You don't need to be a cop about it. Curate and block what you can, and if anything, encourage people to responsibly tag their media so it can be more easily avoided and encourage spaces to offer the tools to do such things.

So yeah, there's my thoughts. I'll probably regret posting this, but hey, these are my opinions, and I think I'm allowed to have them.

“i could finally touch you…”

hope you guys enjoyed the spooky stuff 🖤 see you next year!
