BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER (2022) dir. Ryan Coogler

[livstarlight]

I love and appreciate wakanda forever exactly as it is, but a part of me grieves the version we didn’t get with T'Challa in it.

Because him having his story to follow with his son, while at the same time Shuri is having her own arc in Talokan with Namor, it makes everything 75% funnier.

Just imagine T'Challa, returned from the blip, mourning the years he has lost, especially trying to catch up with his son... meanwhile a god mutant king shows up to cause some mayhem and calls him out because he put his kingdom in danger by revealing Wakanda to the world. Then proceeds to kidnap his sister, who truthfully doesn’t seem to exactly mind, and who when comes back she's all like "He is not so bad once you get to know him." "What? Wait-" "And Talokan? Oh brother, it's beautiful." "Shuri..." "THEY HAVE A SUN UNDERWATER, BROTHER. A SUN."

“Ship means something you want to see happen.” Bitch, no it don’t. This weird-ass modern culture of lobbying show-runners to make your ship canon didn’t emerge until the advent of social media. (And recent social media like twitter, not shit-you-forgot-existed like MySpace.) Shipping and fandom in general have been around much longer, so you can stop acting like “this is the way it has always been uwu” right the fuck now.

Until relatively recently, most fans I’ve known have been perfectly okay with their ships never being canon. I, personally, would be actively offended if certain ships of mine became canon. That is not why I ship them. What I want from canon and what I want from fandom are often entirely different things that only intersect on the margins.That is why fanworks are called “transformative” ffs.

[dr-dendritic-trees]

This exactly.

[cardassiangoodreads]

I’m so glad someone said this. A lot of my fav ships I specifically have no desire to see become canon, especially since they’re often in shows that don’t really do much with romance and I PREFER them that way. Shipping and fan fiction are separate things for me.

“What I want from canon and what I want from fandom are often entirely different things”

[pineal-blinks]

shipping isn’t always romantic idealization either which is an annoying recent mindset in fandoms, mainly its liking the dynamic of two characters and wanting to explore it in fanwork whether it be for sappy cute reasons or horrible awful unhealthy reasons, whatever is appealing/interesting to you about the pair.

[derryderrydown]

Don’t hide this in the tags, Petra! #sometimes ‘I ship it’ means ‘They would have fascinating sex’ #sometimes ‘I ship it’ means ‘They would damage each other interestingly’

[lemonsharks]

Ship means something I want to see happen (in fanfic and fanart+)

[magical-girl-04]

This is why I get so upset when people attack rare pairs for not being cannon, like I’m not shipping them with the hope that they will be cannon, I’m shipping them because even if they haven’t met/don’t like each other/whatever else cannonically, I think it would be neat if they did, hell sometimes their colour pallets just match real nice

[nightcup]

YO I KNOW PEOPLE ARE EXCITED ABOUT NASHURI IN THE BPWF SCRIPT BUT LOOK AT THIS ATTUMA x OKOYE MOMENT 🫣

[kovuren]

someone on his level to tangle with.

“THEIR GAZE DOT DOT FUCKING DOT INTERESTED.”

[skcarwrites]

I AM ASCENDING.

[stranversagenda-blog]

BITCH I DIEDDDD WE WERE RIGHT!!!? AND ROBBED!!!? 😭😭😭😭😭

[giodoodless]

Ryan was cooking y'all

NAMOR WAS GONNA SMILE AND LOOK AT SHURI AS IF THEY MET BEFORE???? [incoherent sounds]

[skcarwrites]

WTF 😭 SO MY DELUSIONAL THOUGHTS OF HIM SILENTLY OBSERVING SHURI FOR MONTHS BEFORE FORMALLY INTRODUCING HIMSELF IN THE BEACH SCENE ISN’T EXACTLY DELUSIONAL AND COULD’VE BEEN CANON???????

HE SMILED AS IF THEY MET BEFORE??????

PLS IM ON THE FLOOR DROWNING IN MY OWN TEARS 😭

[imthataliensuperstar]

one of my fav scenes from wakanda forever that i’m so obsessed with is how shuri and namor elegantly descends to their position of power as king and queen at the SAME time

[giodoodless]

[chibicesiah]

My princess needs me.

Another Namor and shuri fan art. With this one I was just thinking if Namor kept a close eye with Shuri and if so what was his reaction seeing her cry. Enjoy!

If Tony was alive and Shuri introduced him to Namor their interaction would be so funny 😭

Tony: Hey uh little bagheera did you get the memo from Fury about the new tea— who’s the humanoid pegasus??

Shuri: Mr Stark I’ve told you not to call me that, and this is Namor, he’s the king of Talokan, the underwater civilisation I briefed everyone on last week.

Tony: Mhmm ok whatever you say baby aristocat. So uh, why is shark boy over there copying my beard?

Shuri: Considering he's been alive longer than the entire Stark lineage, I’d say he did it first and you’re the copycat.

Tony: Yeaaaaah well, I don't care so tell King Triton over there to shave it off please and thank you

Shuri: *rolling her eyes*

Namor: *walking over to her as Tony leaves* Why is the tin man telling you to tell me to get rid of my beard?

[wanderingquill]

I just imagined Tony flying in his suit and Namors flying with his wings, and they look at each other saying nothing. But mentally calling each other a Poser or copycat.

[skcarwrites]

Lmaoo their interactions with just the two of them alone would be ridiculously riddled with contentious slander and offensive staring.

Tony: *hovering over the Atlantic watching another secret ops ship getting taken down by the Talokanil for trying to locate vibranium*

Namor: *suddenly hovering next to him arms folded watching Tony with a grimaced look*

Tony: Ok Barnacle Boy, as much as I love these little silent stare offs with those menacing evil eyebrows you got there, didn’t we agree to be cordial and use our words, hm?

Namor: *eyeing Tony up and down judgementally before flying off silently*

Tony: Ok. Good talk. Same time next week?

*conch shell abruptly clanks against the back of his suit and falls back down into the ocean*

Tony: Alright, who threw that conch at my head?! Namora, I know it was you.

[tenochconamor]

Talokan men are simps for their Wakandan wives. It's a fact!

[shurithepanther-deactivated2023]

Shuri's first visit to Talokan: Namor carefully puts his mother's bracelet on her wrist

Namor's first visit to Wakanda after their alliance: Shuri chucks him some kimoyo beads over her shoulder nearly hitting him in the face

[brw]

i love namor giving shuri a little fuckin... friendship bracelet (i know it has much more meaning than that but it is an initial symbol of attempts at alliance -- friendship) and immediately asking her to kill all the surface people with him. he's so blunt abt it. i love him.
