//Firstly I wanted to say that you're amazing, and secondly I wanted to ask if you would like to thread sometime?

Firstly - you're the amazing one here *o*

Second - I'd love to roleplay!

Could the 33% resolution be applied to roleplay? Like when people make multiple blogs.

i don't see why not!  i don't know exactly how you'd apply it to rp, but if you wanted to, i'm sure you could make it work.

Questions left unanswered: 1, 2 and 6

1.) Are there any characters in your fandom or faceclaims you refuse to RP with? Who and why?

I haven't run into any that I can think of. I'd probably look askance at any Justin Bieber faceclaims I see, but I haven't experienced any.

Generally speaking, I won't RP with someone using a white FC for a POC character (there are a lot of very white Damians out there).

2.) Are there any plot tropes you are sick of/refuse to RP? If so, what are they and why?

I can't think of any offhand, but I really really dislike sort of "mundane" RP where you and your partner are RPing doing boring everyday stuff. Does that make sense?

6.) Is there a character that the rest of your fandom adores that you just don’t like/are indifferent to? Who is the character and why?

Hmmmm...

First thing that comes to mind is Batman. I really don't care about Batman. I'll RP with Batman RPers but I really don't care about him in the slightest because he's not as great as everyone (especially DC) wants him to be.

nominallyblind replied to your post “Any secret admirers?”

"I'm not sure if it's possible for anyone to have not picked it up yet".

"Oh, so it is secret, then?" Vic grinned. "I'll pretend not to notice if you wanna make it a surprise."

"Any secret admirers?"

"Depends," Vic muses. "Is your affection for me secret?"

//If someone were to attempt to start reading Gambit where would you suggest to start (sorry).

Oh man, I hope you're sitting comfortably.

Okay, first things first, first appearances which have been collected into trades. It's hard to get a lot of the ensemble appearances he used to be in, so that kind of covers the basics. The Victims miniseries is also good for that, too. 

Next, the Fabian Nicieza run for his solo series. It's 25 issues in total including the annual, but skip the 25th; Nicieza left the series due to creative differences with the editor and Scott Lobdell wrote it and that issue is nonsensical and utter shit. It's not collected in trades, but you can find torrents of it online. 

Then, read him in Liu's run on X-23 and Astonishing. All of those are collected in trades that you can find on Amazon. She does a great job of rehabilitating his character for all the damage done to it in the mid to late 2000s and allowing him to be a three dimensional character again. You can find all those on trades on Amazon.

There's also another solo by the team of Layman, Jeanty, and Hillsman that's a pretty easy read. I wouldn't call Asmus's Gambit essential reading, but if you can ignore some of the problematic aspects of it, it can be pretty fun. It was sort of designed to be a soft reboot for Remy for preparation to put him into ANXF. ANXF really does nothing for Remy as a character, though, despite the art being pretty. He's written really questionably in a couple of places, so just read the early issues and nothing past that.

To be frank, all of these runs and issues deal with darker stuff and things that are problematic from a reader standpoint do crop up in the narratives, so take that with a grain of salt. I hope this is a good enough start for you on getting to know Remy as a character.

☠ and ✈

☠ Unpopular opinion

I think DC animated movies are just all around better than anything the MCU or Fox or Sony has put out Marvel wise.

✈ Pet Peeve’s.

Painting Charles Xavier as this "saint" because he's really the Dumbledore of Marvel in a way.

I have no idea what my followers think of me, tbh. I know what my friends who follow me think of me, but that's about it. I'd like to think they think I'm a fairly chill, talented writer who goes above and beyond to portray my muse to the best of their ability and educate people on why he's so important as well as a nice person who always has a shoulder to cry on. In the end, though, whatever their perceptions of me are their perceptions of me and there's not much I can do about it.
