Magneto X Rogue - Tumblr Posts
i need to rant about this because it’s so fucking sad, i literally cried over this last night lmao
in x-men 97’ Rogue is asked to join Magneto’s side, to run Genova with him. She hesitates, but agrees. When she goes to break the news to Gambit, he’s shocked. He loves Rogue more than anything, his heart beats for her alone, which is why he doesn’t beg or cry, but instead calmly agrees to be her friend if he can’t be her lover. Even though it kills a part of him.
So Rogue leaves, to chase after the past, to chase after her dream of a lover she can touch. Gambit had tried to tell her love runs deeper than skin, but Rogue was convinced it wasn’t enough.
She floats down the steps, in a stunning red dress, and without gloves. WITHOUT GLOVES!!! Magneto meets her eyes and floats up to join her and the two dance in the air, their hands locked the entire time. Their dance is so tender, their touches slow and lingering and full of passion.
Below them, from the ground, Gambit watches. He watches the woman he loves share an act so intimate and full of love, an act he would’ve risked his life for if only Rogue had listened to him when he’d pleaded to hold her hand for even just a moment. He could’ve shouted at her, he could’ve let his pain bleed through into anger and no one around him would’ve blamed him. But he doesn’t. Because he loves her. And if Magneto is what she needs to be happy, than he will walk away.
He doesn’t see the doubt in Rogue’s eyes. He doesn’t see her kiss him, he doesn’t hear her telling Magneto that, even with their touch, their love can’t compare to what she has with Gambit. And when he dies only minutes later, sacrificing himself to assure the safety of not only Genova but the safety of Rogue, he dies with the memory of Rogue dancing with another man.
this is gut wrenching.
Just watched x-men 97’s recent episodes and despite loving Gambit x Rogue I have an unpopular opinion……good for rogue for bagging a silver fox called Magneto who is incredibly powerful. You go girl.
As a mythology nerd, Magneto and Rogue's dynamic reminds me of the relationship between Mars and Venus, or Ares and Aphrodite if you prefer the Greek names.
Magneto, like Mars, is eternally entwined with conflict. His life has been an unending war, a relentless struggle for survival.
Rogue, on the other hand, is pure passion, like Venus. She is one of the most romantic and seductive characters in the Marvel Universe.
The relationship between Magneto and Rogue works for the same reasons as the one between Mars and Venus.
Ultimately, love is what brings an end to war. Rogue's love allows Magneto to lower his defenses, providing a respite from his perpetual battles. She sees him as more than just a warrior, and her love soothes his soul in eternal conflict.
I would love to draw fan art of this, but since I don't know how to draw, maybe I'll write a fan story in the future.
