Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis isn’t your personal call-out post.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited

Rule 2: No Forbidden PostsSome things belong in the drafts forever. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
  • NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

Why Rogue didn't reach out and choke her right then I'll never know.

No need to choke when you can kill with a touch

She can't do that without absorbing the victim's memories and personality to the point she can barely tell which were her own, which she really doesn't enjoy.

Plus, she also absorbs any abilities and powers they have... which, to be fair do come with a manual of sorts (the aforementioned memories and personality), if she can get past the confusion... but doing it with Ororo Munroe might be too risky, since any loss of control could lead to her unwittingly killing everyone around her, and / or messing up the weather for the whole continent...

How much Rogue and third parties are damaged by Rogue using her powers is largely up to the individual writer

Same-same, bare hand on throat

Rogue: world champion at bareknuckle brawling.

Plus then she could hurl lightning at the other "privilege powers" mutants.
