t'chalcon for the ship thingy?

insists that they are an awesome dancer even though they’re terrible: i feel like t’challa would be horrible with, like, typical modern american dancing and sam would make fun of him for it endlessly

likes to watch reality tv: SAM!! t’challa comes home to sam yelling about what happened on the bachelor

refuses to wear pants when they’re home alone: ....sam too. but t’challa doesn’t mind cause it’s a nice view

is the jealous / protective one: t’challa is probably the very protective one

goes all out on the holidays: ohhh i think they both would. wakanda probably has different holidays than the US, so they’d both go all out to show the other one what their respective holidays are like

cries over books: t’challa. sam introduces him to silly romance novels and the king of wakanda fucking cries his eyes out over gone with the wind

is terrible with kids: i think they’re both great with kids!! if anything, sam might be the one who forgets himself and swears etc when he’s around children so t’challa just gasps ‘SAMUEL!!’

drinks too much caffeine: glkgamgkgeaglea i don’t know why but i really think it’d be t’challa. dude runs a country, he probably runs on caffeine. the reason why okoye wanted a starbucks in wakanda was because she cares about him and his coffee needs

could sleep for twenty-four hours straight: t’challa... sam tried to get him to go running with him one time and t’challa straight up threw a book in his general direction

never wears matching socks: i feel like that’d also be t’challa. he pretends he does it because he doesn’t understand american culture. but the truth is he just thinks it looks fun and he likes to fuck with people

punches a tree when they’re angry: glagmrlkamlga t’challa does and the tree probably breaks in half and sam’s just like ‘.............dude’ ((he’s kinda aroused))

gets scared by the toaster: t’challa, but only because it’s 6am and he hasn’t had coffee yet

Sam and T’Challa

And why they can be a fun ship.

They don’t get a lot of interaction in the movies... but that won’t stop me from over-analyzing.  

OKay so they first time they meet is in Civil War when they’re both chasing after Bucky.  Sam to protect him, T’Challa to capture/hurt him (the man is a wreck over his dad.)   Black Panther grabs onto Sam as he’s flying riding along and Sam’s pretty much trying to kick him off.   This is a super dignified meeting.

But when the Black Panther’s identity is revealed, that’s where things get interesting.

Compare Rhodey’s “your highness”, an acknowledgement of his status, to Sam’s “So you like cats?”

Sam’s clearly agitated as he says this.  Probably due to the aforementioned clinging to Sam while flying.  (And possibly viewing keeping Bucky safe as his mission.)

Steve then tries to reel Sam in.  Maybe due to the fact that T’Challa’s a king, but knowing Steve, more likely it’s him being sensitive that his father was just killed.  Though later in the airport scene Steve refers to him as ‘your highness’ as well.

Sam then responds.  “What?  Dude, show up dressed like a cat and you don’t want to know more?”  Dude.  Sam just called the King of Wakanda ‘dude.’  And he’s trying to edge him on a get a reaction.  T’Challa does not rise to the bait, he’s been raised better than that.

Clearly Sam does not give a shit that this guy is a king. I’m pretty sure it’s down to the fact that Sam in general just views people as inherently equal and no fancy title or job is going to change that.  A man is just a man.

And watching Black Panther I believe T’Challa would agree with that sentiment.  Looking after Wankanda happens to be a job T’Challa believes in and wants.  He does fight for it.   While T’Challa holds himself high in the public eye, you see just how causal he is with the people that are close to him.

They also both are people people and have wicked senses of humor.  Sam’s is more outright teasing.  (Just like Shuri and Okoye there are very few people who have the gall to tease him so openly.  He acts like he’s already close.)  And T’Challa the kind of guy who has to be more clever about it.  He can’t just say anything when the public eye is on him.  I imagine he’ll say something sly and it will take a moment for Sam to catch up to it... “did he just?”  There’s something about T’Challa humor that is very deadpan that would just work so well against someone who’s more sarcastic and obvious with it.

You certainly can have fun with the fact that Sam has no respect for authority, said himself he didn’t like taking orders.  While T’Challa’s been raised to lead.  What a dynamic.  Especially because T’Challa honestly is a good person trying to do the right thing and I don’t think Sam’s had much experience with an authority figure doing that.

And then there’s the fact that Sam’s African-American which is worlds different from being an Wakandan African.  A huge part of the black panther movie focused on this.  But while it showed how much America can harm with Killmonger.  I think with Sam it can show how good a person can become despite it.

There are just so many factors to work with.

Plus there are like a million Bird and Cat puns you can make, and isn’t that all that really matters?

So thanks for coming to my TedTalk, I’ll be here Monday through Friday.
