Shuri doesn't look Black in your latest drawings. All your drawings are beautiful but try to be careful about that in the next ones because she looks like she has Europeanized features and we already don't have enough Black characters in the mcu. I hope you don't take this the wrong way and keep going, you're very talented.

Thanks for the feedback! This is what I’ve been trying to avoid. Shuri is very beautiful as she is and I’m still figuring out how not to mess it up, but I appreciate the critique and encouragement! 🙂

Talokan and Wakanda

Thank you so much for all the wonderful feedback in my last drawing! This ship really inspires me to do things I’ve stopped doing in a long time. ❤️

NAMOR APPROVES THIS POST 👏🏾

[kalydra]

A shot at “what Namor’s mother saw after she ingested the plant that saved Talokan”, here goes…

*****

The first thing she saw was a pair of eyes, not those of a man but those of the sacred beast that prowled the underworld. Instead of the rosettes coveted by kings, its body was covered in the darkest velvet. The jaguar sat on a rock on the other side of the cenote gracefully swinging its tail.

Fen stepped back and cradled her unborn child. She clutched the shaman’s gift on her wrist and whispered a prayer to the gods that they be kept safe. The beast merely chuffed and closed its eyes as if telling her it meant no harm.

The water from the spring began to glow with the color of ruellias, beautiful and otherworldly. She remembered the time they were in bloom back in their old home, before the strange men with their strange words seized it from them, before a mysterious illness ravaged their land and claimed the life of her husband. She could not hold back her tears. Chac was with them.

Fen sat on the edge of the pool and lowered her feet into the water. She felt its warmth washing off the worries from her heart, the ripples carrying them far away. The child stirred within her. She gently tapped her belly and hummed an old lullaby to ease his restlessness.

I pray for you to be as strong as a jaguar. You will be king. You will have a new home.

The plant would save all of them.

Winston Duke (M'Baku) just shared this voice-over on IG.

My people call me "Kukulkan"... but your daughter calls me "My love".

Shuri: What matters is what I want, and what I want is Namor dead!

Also Shuri:

[kittybeewillows]

Thinking about how the place that Shuri  went to mourn is by the sea, where the man who forced womanhood upon her came from.

She is forever bonded to the waters that took her mother's last breath.

Shuri could have gone anywhere. The desert, where Namor wouldn't dare reach her, or in the mountains of Wakanda, with the comfort and protection of her remaining friends.

But she chose to mourn by the sea, because she is both from land and water now. The protector of two worlds.

And what about the god king who never hesitated to take mortal lives for his people? Does he see her, so close to his waters?

Namor has no love for the land, but stands ready to join the land dwelling Black Panther once trouble arrives on her doorstep.

He understands that he must heed Shuri's call, to begin giving back what he has taken.

As much as they have stolen from each other, they both know that they need the other.

Land and sea, but both are made from flames.

I’m crying.

When Shuri asked why she could not save her brother and Namor replied,

I don’t have an answer to that question

he found in her another broken soul who sought answers to the same questions as he once did. He, too, was given gifts yet he could not spare his mother from the heartbreak of losing a life she once knew. He was no god with infinite wisdom but a mere mutant who had lived longer than most. Even if he tried, he couldn’t save everyone. We all lose everyone we love.

All he could do was offer her the words that gave him solace, perhaps in hopes she would find meaning in them too, and maybe save her from the loss and grief consuming her.

My ancestor would often say only the most broken people can become great leaders.
