my first dog as an adult was named gambit because my partner at the time was reading comic books, and gambit was in them. such a good name!

loki is the second dog i got as an adult, also named after the marvel character. couldn’t find an x-men name that fit him.

jean grey… well, you see the theme yet? i really wanted a jubilee, but she’s so much more of a jean bean.
