OMG 😲... in a different universe this is in one of the movies. Bravo! Bravo!!! Amazing work!
“It Could Have Been Different - Part 3″
(a.k.a - “Two young people fell in love and we all showed up”) ;-)
It’s the post-wedding “Buckingham Palace balcony” wave - Wakandan style! As you (and the thousands of assembled adoring subjects) can plainly see, the new royal bride and groom are very, very happy!
Despite the fact that camera crews were not allowed to film the actual wedding ceremony itself, I hear that there was fierce competition amongst CNN’s foreign correspondents when it came time to decide who would be allowed to go to Wakanda for this momentous event (just kidding - it was always going to be Christiane Amanpour).
That comment just triggered me.
My sexuality is: ✨confused✨
My ships are ✨99%✨toxic
I ship whoever I want and so should you!
There are real people dying out there and people are attacking us for shipping fictional characters?
We KNOW he killed her mom!
Thank you for pointing out the obvious!
got this in my notes for my Shuri x Namor post and 😐
im a queer person... im just some aroace agender being shipping Shuri x Namor for the toxic shit and power imbalance thing that's going on their shaky alliance/relationship
I'd still ship Shuri x Namor if they're lesbians / gays bcs im here for the bullshitery that will go down in their "relationship"
queer people are also capable of loving unhinged shit... queerness isn't just sunshine & rainbow
and im literally so offended bcs ive enjoyed dead dove do not eat lgbtqia+ fandom contents. i even participate in writing dead dove do not eat gay & lesbian fics
the only reason i prefer Shuri x Namor over Shuri x Riri is bcs i love angst and i like to subject my favs (Shuri, in this case) to unimaginable (that being the pain of loving the fckr who murdered her mother & annihilate her nation, in Shuri's case)
let this queer person love a toxic het ship in peace pls being a fandom police isn't very nice
if u don't like the content, u can just not look at it ya know... the block button and blacklist option exist for a reason
The emotions I felt reading this masterpiece 🫡🥹😘✨✨✨✨✨Anyways here's a little something I made
I'm sorry but:
🎵 I'm just like you 🎵
🎵You're just like me🎵
So... did you know there was a spicy deleted scene in "the water queen"?
The Shaman probably: why don't you just do it since you know better than I do?
headcanon that namor keeps asking his city shaman over the years who his soulmate is
shaman: she is of the storms… she is powerful, has blonde hair-
namor: STOP. AGAIN
shaman: she has snowlike skin-
namor: no
shaman: …ok fine she is a wakandan brunette
namor: ahh that’s better

Namor after meeting Shuri and she beat the love back into his name
“Then keep me instead… I’d love to see your nation.”
“You can’t come down there in that.”
Shuri and Namor should get together to destroy Marvel's fictional U.S. government
Penny for your thoughts on the Hades/Persephone symbolism re: Namor x Shuri? 😃
well, the three main elements of the hades and persephone myth are: the abduction, the mother’s search, and the inevitable return. and we see close to all three in wakanda forever.
the abduction of shuri:
though in the film shuri “willingly” goes to see namor, the reaction of everyone in wakanda is to see it as an abduction. okoye sees the talokanil leave with the unconscious princess. queen ramonda declares her daughter ‘lost’. nakia is sent to rescue her. shuri has a descent to the underworld underwater kingdom of talokan after picking up a flower riri williams.
the queen mother’s search:
the mother/daughter relationship is central to the persephone myth, and it’s central in this story too. queen ramonda is relentless with finding shuri, serving as a demeter figure of course. while demeter has the torch, ramonda has the shell.
the contrast between the dark, cool underwater scenes between shuri and namor and the warm, summery feel of queen ramonda on the beach with namor makes me think of the seasonal cycle the persephone myth symblolises as well. and of course, like demeter, her search is fruitless- there’s ‘nothing’ that can be given in exchange for the princess’ safe return.
ultimately it is up to nakia to ‘rescue’ shuri and riri. and funnily enough nakia shares similarity to hermes, the god who helps and finds persephone in the underworld. her (familial) love for shuri makes her to come back to the wakanda fold and find shuri. she is a very knowledgeable, from languages and culture to countries due to her spy background.
the inevitable return:
in the myth hades tricks persephone into eating the pomegranate seeds, she not knowing that eating anything from the underworld will mean she is eternally bound there. interesting that food is offered to riri but we don’t see her consume anything.
while namor doesn’t trick shuri into eating anything, i wonder if he knew that gifting her his mother’s bracelet would one day help create the synthetic heart shaped herb? like playing the long game. by the time he ties the bracelet around her wrist, he is already wanting her as his queen by his side as they burn the world together.
shuri consumes the herb and so BAM she is eternally bound to talokan. mythically anyway. the alliance that namor proposed to her in the middle of the film is accepted by the end. they have an alliance, a union. an eternal union to stop an eternal war?
namor is counting on shuri coming back to him. and he’s sure of himself because he understands her and the predicament wakanda faces. just like how hades is certain persephone will come back to him every six months to the underworld.
anyway these are just some quick thoughts off the top of my head x the persephone and hades myth is primarily about death and rebirth though. and boi, wakanda forever is full of death/rebirth imagery.
I swear, when Ramonda was trying to distract Namor and asked him if there was something she could give him, a part of me prayed he would say "your daughter's hand in marriage"
when the hot immortal villain wants to burn the world with you and he's also anti-colonialist
