Rogue lets out a slight chuckle, an amused grin on her face. "I sure do, sugah. I'm just real good at hidin' it." The grin on her face shifts to something more sincere and reassuring. "Everybody gets scared. It's just part of livin'."

Her expression becomes somewhat more playful. "Anyone that tries to tell ya they dont's a big fat liar." she remarks lightheartedly, trying to make the other woman feel more at ease.

✖ @rcguevariant ❤'d for a small starter !

"Do you ever get scared? Sometimes it feels like no one else here does."

"She's mah mom, too, whether I like it or not... Makes it my responsibility, too. And you're mah BROTHER, Kurt. Ya ain't gotta deal with anything alone, not while Ah'm around." Rogue places a gloved hand on his shoulder, offering a small smile in reassurance. "Now, are we gonna do this thing, or just stand around jawwin' about it?"

[rcguevariant]

It wasn't something she'd ever considered, but, to be fair, no one has ever offered. She's given some thought to the technology that goes into those collars that nullify mutant powers, and, has, at times, wondered if something like that could be used in her favor, though the side effects that come with it are less than ideal. "A suit? Ya mean, like yours? Don't think Ah'd need somethin' with quite so much armor." She remarks lightheartedly.

She's slightly hesitant to take him up on the offer; the fact that his tech has been used against The X Men in the past is still in the back of her mind, even though she knows that's not what he ever intended it to be used for. Besides that, she's a bit skeptical that anything, even something as advanced as Stark's tech, could actually help. She flashes him a wry smile, shrugging her shoulders slightly. "Pretty much all I can do, just keep mah skin covered and don't touch anyone's skin with mah own."

There's a hint of something like curiosity in her eyes as she meets his gaze once more, however. "Why ya askin', anyway? Ya got somethin' in mind...?"

"Genuine question - Have you ever considered a suit to help with the whole -" Tony's hand gestures towards Rogue. "No touching thing." He leans forward, sizing her up for a moment. "I could build you something. World's our oyster, could do anything you want."

Tony's got a sorta chequered history with the X-Men, namely his tech being used against them - Against his knowledge, mind, but it still doesn't look great. As a result, he partly wants to offer an olive branch, show that not all of his tech is destructive and malicious. "How do you manage it now? Just avoid touching people?"

Would y'all hate me if I dropped most of my threads and started new threads with people instead?😩 It's nothing personal with anyone, I promise! It's my own fault; I let myself get so behind that now I'm overwhelmed, and it'smaking me anxious when I think about trying to get caught up.😓

(I'll be keeping most of the threads with any of my Remys, though, 'cause it's my OTP, so I'm way too biased to drop those! I'm so sorry, don't hate me, everyone else!)

(I'll also be keeping my thread with @apurekindness just because I already have most of the reply written out already. I'm keeping the starter @vuulpecula wrote me, and my reply for @bothsidesofaquestion.)

Aside from that, I'm dropping everything for my own sanity; I'm so sorry!😭 Anyone is welcome to start new interactions with me, though. I'm gonna try not to let myself get so behind this time.

Sorry for not barely being around. I promise I intend to catch up on stuff here, but I'm really behind, so it may take a while. I ask that you please be patient with me. I swear I'm not ignoring anybody or anything. I love you all, and want to write with you, life's just been busy lately. In the mean time, since it's munday and all, under the cut are some pics of my Rogue cosplay ('cause I might as well at least post something, right? I'm quite proud of how it turned out.)

Maybe she was feeling a bit needy herself, or maybe she was simply thankful he was okay and that he wasn't seriously injured or worse. Whatever the reason, she was slightly more willing to indulge him. Rogue gave his hand a gentle squeeze when he laced his fingers with hers. Maybe she was setting a precedent, inviting him to be bolder from then on, but she would deal with that another day. At the very least, if she ended up regretting it, it wouldn't be his name she'd be cursing, it would be her own for letting her walls down so easily.

She hesitated for a moment, seriously considering his request. On one hand, she'd love nothing more; she secretly craved such intimacy, especially with him, but, on the other hand, she's scared, terrified even; it could go wrong so easily, so quickly, all it would take would be just one moment of carelessness.

Even so, seeing him injured scared her even more; it was making her realize how quickly and easily he could be taken from her. Would it really be so bad to indulge him? She could keep every inch of her skin clothed, and a barrier of pillows as Remy suggested would provide additional protection from any accidental touch. "I... I reckon I can do that... but only if we're real careful, ya hear?"

She couldn't help the amused huff that escaped her at his words. "Well, it'd be a loss to The X Men, that's for sure." And for her, especially for her. Once again, a soft grin stretched across her face before unable to help herself as he pressed another kiss to her knuckles.

Rogue found herself breathing a small sigh of relief at hearing his injuries weren't serious. "Glad ta hear it." Her eyes met his, and the smile that stretched across her face when he asked if she'd stay by his side was softer, more sincere. She didn't think he was sounding needy, or maybe she did, and she just didn't care. "'Course I will, Remy. A'm sorry for not bein' here sooner..."

[rcguevariant]

"Yer just lucky Ah went easy on ya and didn't use mah full strength." she quipped, an amused grin tugging at her lips as she took his hand, letting him help her to her feet. While it was true that she had more strength behind her with hers being slightly enhanced, Remy certainly had the advantage when it came to speed and dexterity. Rogue knew he was fully capable in his own right, even if many of the other X-Men didn't always take him seriously. But, she was also a competitive person and quite stubborn, so it wasn't exactly easy for her to admit he'd beat her fair and square.

Still, she knew when to say enough was enough. "I reckon Ah'm gonna let today's bruises heal before takin' another whoopin', thank you very much. Ah'm sure we can find somethin' a little more fun ta do instead."

continued from here {x}

“Mon chere, you’re not giving me enough credit.” Smiling down at her, Remy wiped away a bead of sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. He was used to be underestimated by the other x-men. They thought all of his skills was due to his mutation, never knowing his ability to fight was from growing up on the streets and he was okay with that.

"I didn't even use my cards or bo-staff. I think you just need ta admit dat I have skills.” A flirtatious wink before he held out his hand to help her to her feet. “Another round? Or have you had enough?”

DASH GAME ; BEHIND THE MUN

NAME: Rebecca. Becca, Bex, or Becky for short.

PRONOUNS: she/her

MOST ACTIVE MUSES: Rogue is the only muse I'm actively writing atm. I have a blog for one of my OCs, too, but I haven't been on it for a while, and Idk if I'm going to go back to it at all.

EXPERIENCE: I've been RPing on tumblr since 2014 or 2016. I've had lots of different blogs, pretty much always OCs of mine, usually Marvel/MCU. I dabbled a few times in writing canon characters from fandoms other than Marvel, but those attempts were very short-lived. Rogue is the first canon character I've stuck with writing for this long, and I think it's because I always felt a connection to/identified with her.

FLUFF, ANGST OR SMUT: I love fluff, and, though I'm not overly experienced with writing smut because I rarely get the chance to write it, I love it, too, though only with certain people and my muse is in the mood for it. I enjoy angst sometimes, too, but I have to be in the mood for it.

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES: I try to match the length of my partner's reply. (If I don't get my reply at least close to the length of my partner's, I usually get kind of anxious, feeling like I'm making them do all the work.)

PET PEEVES: Probably my biggest pet peeve is cliques/clique-iness, where someone writes with a certain group/clique and won't even give anyone else a chance. Another pet peeve of mine is drama and people who create it (this ain't high school, get that sh*t out of here😤). It also irritates me when people post political things on their blog. Politics is something no one's ever going to agree on; it's just going to cause problems and drive a wedge between people who could have otherwise had fun writing together. Please, I beg you🙏; I come here to get away from the stress of that and have fun.

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE?: I think I'm a lot like her, yeah. It's probably the reason I always identified with her so deeply even back when I was a kid. (I don't like what X-Men 97 has done to her, but that's a can of worms I'm not gonna open here and now.) The comics version of Rogue and her other iterations, though, I definitely see myself in. I'm spunky and sassy, and I also know too well what it's like to feel isolated and lonely, to distance yourself from everyone else. I was bullied growing up, so, aside from my family, I lived a very isolated life. Even now, I struggle to interact with people and connect with people; I'm much better with it than I used to be, but I still struggle with it. Also, I suffer from a few different mental illnesses, so I know what it's like to be at war with your own mind, to get lost in your own mind amongst the chaos.

TIME TO WRITE: Any time I have time, motivation, and focus.

She couldn't help the way her jaw tensed slightly at the statement. As much as she wanted to say she was nothing like her, she couldn't shake the fact that there were certainly some similarities. As hard as she tried to rise above it, be a good person, better than her mother, she couldn't help but be afraid that, deep down, maybe they're not so different, that maybe all it would take would be the right push, and she'd fall to Mystique's level.

Though not related by blood, maybe the shapeshifter had left more of a mark on her than she'd like to think or admit. And, in spite of herself, she'd be lying if she said she didn't feel at least a hint of something for Mystique, even if it is mostly overshadowed by bitterness. But she wasn't about to admit either of those things, especially to her.

Rogue scoffed slightly. "Ah ain't nothin' like you. You just use people for your own gain. Ah help people, save lives. Ah may not be a good person, but at least Ah try."

@mutantmuses ~ MYSTIQUE

-> continued (X)

She let out a small sigh of resignation. No matter how tumultuous the relationship, no matter how much she hated Mystique's shady and scheming tendencies, there would always be at least a small sliver of care for her on Rogue's end. She did still consider her her mother in some capacity, after all. She couldn't help rolling her eyes slightly. "Yeah, well, don't get too used to it."

[rcguevariant]

"It's fine. Ah reckon a soak in the tub prob'ly does feel good after bein' out on scouting duty all day." She tried her best to focus on the conversation, but it certainly was not easy. "Oh, uh... Nothin'. Just the usual." She kept her gaze downward, focused on the ground. Even though most of his body was hidden underwater, she couldn't distract herself from the fact that she was very much aware that the bathwater was the only thing keeping her from getting a full view.

"I just... I was gonna wash off some of this dirt and grime, maybe soak for a few minutes. Ah Ain't had a proper shower since I got here. But, Ah had no idea you were in here... Didn't even know you were back from scoutin'. You, uh... You sure ya don't want me ta give ya some privacy...?"

@alwaysxinxtrouble || REMY -> CONTINUED X

Rogue's eyes grew wide at the sight before her, a small gasp of surprise falling from her lips before her mind could even form a coherent thought. Her initial reaction was a mix of surprise and sympathy at the scars littered all over his body, but she was relieved to see that he didn't seem to be embarrassed by them. The last thing she wanted was to make him uncomfortable. Soon, however, another feeling crept in, mixing with the surprise and sympathy, something along the lines of attraction, desire...

Anna Marie could feel her cheeks heating up and she found herself breathing just a little bit faster and heavier. She knew she should look away, give him his privacy. After all, it's rude to stare, right? But, she just can't seem to force herself to avert her gaze. "Oh... Remy, I... Ah'm so sorry, Ah didn't know you were... Ah should... prob'ly go, right...?"

[rcguevariant]

REMY :

The faintest furrow formed between Remy's brows. If he had it his way, Anna would never have cause to be upset. But this was real life, and they had to play the cards they were dealt. "You'll get it figured out one day. You always do, ma bien-aimée." Still focused on the road, he took one hand off the wheel to offer it to her, palm up.

She wished she had the same faith in herself that Remy had in her. But, she wasn't so optimistic. As far as she knew, this was just the way her powers worked; it had been that way since they first manifested. Why would that change anytime soon? Still, she didn't want to ruin their vacation by feeling sorry for herself. So, she simply forced a small smile and placed her gloved hand in his. It was better to change the subject, to keep things light so as not to ruin their vacation. "So... Have ya decided what cafe we're goin' to?"

[Planned starter; @rcguevariant ]

"If we're gon' start the morning off with beignets, we gotta make an important decision." Remy was already smiling when he glanced at Anna, settled comfortably in the passenger seat of the rental car. Peering out of the driveway, he shifted the car into drive, pulling out onto the live oak lined avenue outside the house. The idle drumming of his fingers on the steering wheel matched the beat of the R&B song currently playing on the radio. He'd seemed pleased when she'd brought up the idea of taking a vacation in New Orleans, but it was clear being back home was doing him some good. "There's Café du Monde, if you really wanna play tourist. Or I know a few good little shops elsewhere in the Quarter."

𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐌𝐄 𝐆𝐎 👀.

okay so i got like, three books delivered this week, and in anticipation i reread another book that i had, and lads, let me tell ye, it was like quicksand. so now i have a list, some from my head, many from my wonderful friends’ heads, of prompts that basically made us all very soft or very “pleasantly scandalized rich lady from the sixties who just found out a juicy bit of goss about the new neighbor”. i hope ye like them! (DO NOT ADD TO THE LIST. I WILL MAKE A PART TWO. AND THREE. AND FOUR. MANY MANY PARTS. EVENTUALLY. )

[ HAIR ]:          sender slowly reaches out to catch a loose strand of the receiver’s hair and tuck it gently and securely back behind their ear, letting their touch linger afterwards. (if the receiver has short hair, then the sender reaches out and gently runs their fingers through their hair to smooth it back.)

[ CLOSE ]:          while standing remarkably close to one another, the sender is unable to stop themselves from running their gaze across the receiver’s body, lingering for a moment on their lips, before returning to initiate prolonged, intense eye contact.

[ CHIN ]:          as they stand close to one another, the sender hooks a finger and tenderly lifts the receiver’s chin, tilting it up so that they can look at one another, and running a thumb across their skin lightly.

[ THUMB ]:          while cupping the receiver’s cheek in their hand, the sender slowly glides their thumb across their cheekbone in a tender, sweeping caress.

[ WOUND ]:          upon noticing a recent injury on the receiver’s person, the sender carefully moves closer, running a thumb (or hand) across the wound in a gentle, troubled manner.

[ INHALE ]:          while standing in very close quarters to the receiver, the sender shakily inhales with desire/anticipation as they realize how intimately close they are to one another.

[ DANCE ]:          when alone together (e.g. the bedroom, the kitchen, literally anywhere once they’re alone) the sender takes the receiver’s hand, and pulls them into a graceful yet intimate dance as a spontaneous act.

[ BARE ]:          as they get undressed, the sender gently places a soft, tender kiss against the receiver’s bare shoulder.

[ SCAR ]:          noticing a scar on the receiver’s skin, the sender tentatively stops them from covering it up, and rests a gentle, soft kiss over it.

[ FOREHEAD ]:          placing a hand on the back of the receiver’s neck, the sender guides them close and rests their foreheads together.

[ PALM ]:          taking the receiver’s hand, the sender brings it to their mouth, and places a tender kiss against the receiver’s palm.

[ LINGER ]:          taking the receiver’s hand, the sender lifts it to their lips, and gently kisses their knuckles, lingering for a moment before withdrawing.

[ BEHIND ]:         upon entering the same room as the receiver, the sender steps behind them, and winds their arms around the receiver’s waist, drawing them close against them.

[ WAIT ]:          realizing the receiver is about to leave the room, the sender hastily reaches out and catches their wrist, preventing them from continuing their departure.

[ ARM ]:          after holding their hand, the sender releases the receiver, but slowly glides their hand up the full length of their arm, lingering on the upper arm, then the shoulder, then resting their touch against the side of their neck.

[ HOLD ]:          while close to the receiver, the sender wordlessly takes a hold of their hand, for no other purpose than to be holding it.

[ PLAY ]:          while sitting together, the sender absently lifts the receiver’s hand, idly running their fingertips across the lines of their palms, mapping out every inch of their hand with slow, lazy touches.

[ GUIDE ]:          in the process of guiding the receiver through a crowded place, the sender’s hand protectively grazes against the small of their back

[ TOUCH ]:          while touching the receiver’s waist, the sender’s hand briefly dips beneath the hem of their shirt, skimming briefly across the bare skin of their waist.

[ CUP ]:           bringing both hands up to cup the receiver’s face, the sender draws them in closer to them in order to get a better look at their face.

[ TUG ]:          the sender tugs the receiver close against them by resting a hand against the small of their back, pulling them flush against their body.

[ HUSH ]:          while standing close to one another and hiding from pursuers, the sender reaches up and places a finger against the receiver’s lips to prevent them from speaking and revealing their location.

[ WRAP ]: when sitting astride a horse/motorcycle/etc. together, the sender reaches back, takes the receiver’s wrists, and gently pulls their arms around the sender’s waist in an embrace designed to keep the receiver safe, despite feeling remarkably intimate.
