Having just watched the X-men movie trilogy (verdict: good, good, what wait) my mind goes back to an inexplicable period of my childhood.
I don't know when I was into X-men. I'm sure I was never an avid fan of the comics. I feel like I may just have been a Gambit/Rogue fan. I have memories of searching for fanfiction about them. Why did I do this? What motivated me? How did I discover them? Was it the cartoon series?
I genuinely don't know. But it's so deeply ingrained as a piece of my history that I can't help shipping it, even when it's not relevant. It's just in the back of my head: I'm thinking about the X-men movies, and then I'm thinking about Gambit/Rogue. Kinda weird!
