Magneto's Happy Nation with Rogue

Ace of Base's "Happy Nation" was the perfect song for Rogue and Magneto at Genosha, if you dig deeper into the lyrics you see "Situation leading to sweet salvation For the people, for the good, for mankind Brotherhood" "That no man's fit to rule the world alone A man will die, but not his ideas"

Magneto is having his glory moment and victory lap after his dream of having a mutant sanctuary working and functioning. His long held dream is finally being realized that his friend, Charles Xavier sacrificed to get. It's finally here and who does he celebrate it with, but Rogue- the love of his life, his Queen. No man is fit to rule the world alone, and in the past he might have been arrogant enough to try, but after falling in love with Rogue he realizes that he can't.

Rogue is a counterpart to Magneto and offers a point of view that he can't see or access. She has lived many lives and is full of empathy and heart. She may have returned back to Gambit, but she gave Magneto a night to remember and cherish. A promise of hope and everything that Magneto wanted out of life- Rogue in his arms, ruling over a land they built to keep their kind safe.

Magneto is such a messy bitch! I can’t wait to see more of this dynamic 😂

The Magneto/Rogue/Gambit love triangle is not only great because of how #telenovela it is, but because it puts Rogue into a dilemma that forces her to make character-defining choices and grow as a person. It’s classic Want vs Need. Rogue wants physical intimacy, mistakenly believing that it is necessary for love, but needs to realize that real love is so much more than that. “Some things are deeper than skin.”

This is an example of how to do a romantic subplot that actually serves the narrative and character development. Plus, the chemistry that Rogue has with both Magneto and Gambit feels natural instead of forced (seriously idk how they managed to make Magneto x Rogue genuinely hot).

I know a lot of folks like to argue about the morality of the situation and make it all about Gambit and his hurt feelings, but I find that to be a boring way of looking at it. This subplot isn’t about a man getting his heart broken, it’s about a woman learning about love for the first time.

We gotta remember that Rogue is incredibly inexperienced when it comes to love, and the little experience she does have is colored by pain and regret. The first time she kissed her first boyfriend, her powers almost killed him. That’s obviously going to traumatize you. Then she met Magneto, the only person she could safely touch* and explore her sexuality with, but that relationship was never going to pan out for obvious reasons. After that, she was afraid of getting romantically involved with anyone.

Rogue and Gambit maintained a casual flirtation with undercurrents of real passion and yearning for a deeper relationship, but Rogue understandably kept him at a distance — she couldn’t forgive herself if she hurt him. Gambit understood this, and for his part, was afraid of getting into a serious relationship because he felt that he was unworthy.

Magneto is the catalyst who forces Gambit and Rogue to do some necessary introspection and be honest about their feelings, instead of playing this endless game of “will they or won’t they.” For Gambit and Rogue to build something real together, they need to step out of their performative roles as Scoundrel and Cher. Of course it’s messy, and dramatic, and confusing, and frustrating, and heartbreaking. But that’s love. “There is no love without sin.”

In fairness to all three of them, I think they handled the situation as maturely as they could, with honest communication about what they wanted. There’s no deception or manipulation here, just three people trying to navigate a messy and emotionally-charged entanglement.

As for Magneto, I think he genuinely cares for Rogue and loves her in his own way. But I feel like he’s using her to fill the void left in his heart by Charles. I don’t think he’s secretly “evil” or anything like that — but Gambit is right to be skeptical of his motives.

Overall, once Magneto and Gambit come back (AND THEY BETTER COME BACK OR ISTG MARVEL — ), they’ll get necessary closure, and Rogue and Gambit will offically become the power couple they were always meant to be.

*I’ve seen people wonder why Rogue doesn’t just wear one of those mutant suppression collars so she can safely touch Gambit. Idk how the comics deal with that issue and I don’t remember if the original 90s cartoon did, but the way I see it, it’s not just about the physical act of touching. It’s about intimacy. Being able to be your full, truest self with another person. Having to wear a collar that was made to oppress your people in order to experience a basic human pleasure would be degrading and take away from that intimacy.

it was literally their moment and they just let us watch

(if you need me i'll be marinating in this for the foreseeable future)

The day I’m normal about this is the day I die

I am in rogueneto hell and just on time for the next chapter.

This is how I’m hoping it goes.

"He spent weeks talking about how mutants were special. How we'd have our own cities and culture one day. He even had plans, too, Remy. Mutant art, fashion, dance. He showed me that being a mutant wasn't just about my powers. It could be something more. "

A quick Rogueneto drawing inspired by that ball scene in Episode 5 of X-Men '97.

Full view.

@queenmeraairam hey love, bringing this into a post because the replies have a word limitation (and I can't write in short sentences to save a life 🙃 ) Gosh, that entire scene is filled with so many lovely details. I know what you are referring to. Happy to provide! 

On his part I wouldn’t call it hesitation, instead I think he is giving her room to act first. Like many of their interactions he lets her initiate and he lets her control the pace of their relationship. There have been few moments where he tried to lead - and when that happened she got cold feet every time. (In TAS for example during their first private conversation he tried to remove her glove and she backed away. In the comics he got on his knees in front of her and the commitment instantly activated her flight instinct). He’s always letting her lead when it comes to intimacy. When she reached out to him for the first time at the end of E.2 he didn’t grab or pull her; he just held her. In E7 she was the one offering him the dance, she was the one that grabbed his hand and led him into a more intimate conversation between their bodies. If he'd ever initiate a kiss he’d probably ask for permission first. He knows how important touch is for her and he values her comfort. (I could write pages about moments like between them but no one needs to endure my babbling). What I mean to say is - he treats her right and they can achieve greatness together, dammit!

very quick sketch from the weekend. I know everyone has done this or the other leyendecker pose but I wanted to as well

[kermit-coded]

i think the only solution to the remy/rogue/magneto love triangle is for them to fuck that old man. obviously.

[svperluminous]

Yes, that's how the scene happened.
