My headcanons for Gambit (X-Men:Evolution)
Has burns in his hands from accidents with powers
(Thanks @perplexedjokist for the hc)
And paper cuts from practicing card tricks
He is a big Astérix and Johan and Pirlouit fan which are pretty much compulsory reading in the French-speaking world.
Babar was his Bluey (a French cartoon about an elephant)
His first exposure with English was from watching TV.
in his neighbor’s house and he knows some Scots and he would get invited for Burns Night.
His favorite (English language) TV shows are That’s So Raven and All That (original 90s series) he would secretly watch these shows when his Tanties are not around (or taking a nap).
(anything English or “yankee” that’s what they call someone who isn’t Cajun wasn’t allowed in the house)
He only speaks English in school and outside the home.
He thought of running away when he was young especially when he gets caught telling lies and would not be believed (he’s a creative I’ll probably say he’s a late-diagnosed autistic).
He hid the fact that he had a girlfriend when he was around 14-15 (it’s his first girlfriend and later wife,Belladonna)
His first time was with her and he lied that he was with an “uncle” to “help him with stuff”
It was his (and Belle’s) very first night and got caught the next morning because he was wearing the exact same outfit from the night before.
He got into cards tricks because of David Blaine.
A TV adaptation of Les Liaisons dangerueses (Dangerous Liaisons in the original language) is their soap opera.
Celine Dion and Lara Fabian are triple platinum in the LeBeau house and I will die on that hill.
He is secretly a Swiftie his favorites are her cover of Drops of Jupiter,Today Was A Fairytale and the acoustic version of Cornelia Street.
Some of the hcs of Gambit here are similar to mine especially only mine is English what I speak at home and Tagalog is for the outside and the whole thing with the TV
