Shuri for the Win snippet
It starts with an error message.
More specifically, it starts when Shuri enters her lab early one morning, still half asleep, and attempts to pull up her itinerary for the day, only to blink blearily at- static. On her worktable. From her systems.
She finds herself abruptly awake, and distinctly uneasy.
Attempting to run a diagnostic comes with... disappointingly little information. According to the computer, there isn’t anything wrong with her schedule. No corrupted data, no broken connection between files. Only the error on Shuri’s part, attempting to pull up something that- wasn’t there.
Which could not be right.
From the age of six, she meticulously planned her schedule, cramming in as much time as possible for lab studies and projects around lessons and events - Shuri can handle spontaneous developments just fine, but when Wakanda and the world beyond were not actually in danger from criminal or alien threats, she likes to have everything neatly laid out each day. She could- could not actually recall what had been on the schedule for that day, but if she’d neglected to plan anything in advance, then there should only be an empty file, not an error message.
So.
Her own mistake, or external interference?
A little over two hours later, after combing through her systems with the digital equivalent of a fine-toothed comb and opening up several panels to check physical hardware, Shuri concludes no one has gotten into her lab’s private network to deliver any sort of virus or commit other sabotage. Yet, the error message persists. Assigning an algorithm to search for any other signs of static turns up several: at least one block of time on any given day every two weeks or so, going back over a year. Shuri wracks her brain, but cannot recall anything significant she’d done or attempted to avoid on those dates. The only stand-out which she does remember was a three day visit to New York City, which involved meeting with a Stark Industries liaison, checking in with the Wakandan representatives assigned to the United Nations, and- and-
-and something.
Upon realizing she can’t recall what else happened on that trip, Shuri pulls up memory files downloaded from her kimoyo beads, hastily seeking out the dates in question. No visual footage or audio recordings, unfortunately, but at least the data of her movements remain. Shuri opens a screen with a map of the city, transfers the recorded coordinates, and watches an accelerated accounting of where she went each day. At first, only the official buildings she can remember; then, a large amount of time traveling by foot around the section of the city known as ‘Queens’. Which Shuri does not recall in the slightest.
Her fingers drum against the edge of her worktable. When the simulation ends, she saves the map and painted route, then dismisses everything in order to sit back and stare at her blank screens.
An error in the computer was one thing.
An identical error in her own mind... it left an uneasy twist in her stomach.
At least the benefit of her itinerary being unexpectedly clear meant Shuri could immediately go find someone to ask for help.

I've got this plus two more pages up on my Patreon page, behind the paywall for now but scheduled to be available to anyone in a few weeks. Hopefully I jot some more down soon and get a chapter onto AO3, but not until after I make some more progress on my other big fix-it fic projects

Not Wakanda Forever sliding into the fucking abyss after only like 2 months (tbh I stopped hearing abt it after like 3 weeks) even though it was one of the most profound and heartfelt movies the MCU has ever released.
But ppl will still be talking about Multiverse of Madness or Thor: Love and Thunder. This is the same thing that happened with the first Black Panther and it's fucking enraging

Sambucky together
07 / 05 / 2023
YES, SAMBUCKY IS A GREAT COUPLE ❤️
Yes, James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes aka Winter Soldier / White Wolf and Samuel "Sam" Wilson aka Falcon / Captain America are meant to be together. Bother are hot, kind, funny, brave, strong, generous...
They are the reason why I watched the Disney+ series FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER even though some moments were not very well written (especially Falcon, who still became an interesting character there).
When I see pics of them I don't know if I want to be their slave or see them happy in love! Look at the first picture, you can see their asses that are so delicious and that I dream to eat because they deserves asslickers. And in the second picture I want to kneel on the ground, lick their shoes, massage their feet...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
What is the most important to remember with this couple is that Sam and Bucky complete each other. They both have differents background and personality. I will not talk again about why I disagree with Mister Anthony Mackie who thinks that fans shouldn't consider Sam and Bucky in love.
I am a gay whiteboy, I love black men (white men too, of course, but I just have this raceplay fantasy and also this love for the interracial contrast) so of course I am attracted to Sam Wilson being in love with Steve Rogers or Bucky Barnes. I am also attracted to being their boyfriends individually, and I love their comics version too (to be honest I became attracted to Sam Wilson thanks to his comics counterpart).
I love these two characters and the actors who play them. Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan are both sexy and funny and have great chemistry, they're good friends and they're aware that fans ship them off as a couple.
Even though Anthony Mackie said that Sam Wilson wasn't supposed to be in a relationship with Bucky Barnes, we fans and authors are allowed to write about it. He cannot prevent us from imagining them as a couple.
I never said I wouldn't watch the CAPTAIN AMERICA 4 and THUNDERBOLT movies just because Sam and Bucky aren't a couple. I accept that they can't be lovers in the MCU. But that's what fanfics are there for: to dream up and create alternate universes where it would have happened. 😉 And they are so cute together!
These two actors are hot, funny, nice, are very good friends in real life (you can easily find many compilations of their funny moments together on YouTube).
Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie would be a great couple if they were together . Honestly, it wouldn't shock me if they were in love. Who knows their lovers 🙄?
So if you want to wait before I publish a story about Sam Wilson dating Bucky Barnes, here are the links of the stories I wrote about them. I hope you'll like and comment them 😁
⭐✨⭐✨⭐✨⭐✨⭐✨⭐✨⭐✨⭐✨
STORIES ABOUT SAM WILSON / FALCON
In this story Sam Wilson is in love with Steve Rogers so it's a SamSteve story but also a BuckySteve story. There is others Avengers.
What I appreciate in this story is that different characters appears, with different body size (Thor being chubby here), gender (I unclouded Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel and Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow), skin color (Sam Wilson is a black man of course).
-
I this story focused on Bruce Wayne / Batman and Clark Kent / Superman being in love, Steve Rogers / Captain America and Sam Wilson / Falcon appears as lovers. 😘
In this story I wanted to make a crossover between DC and Marvel, and make two gay couples fighting vilains together. 😁
-
This story is supposed to takes place at the beginning of the movie CAPTAIN AMERICA - WINTER SOLDIER, where Sam and Steve meets. In this story, they falls in love and will find a fag to use as their servant. So it's a romantical and also humilating story.
Even though I imagined myself being the fag (this is why I reminded at the beginning of the article that I want to love Bucky / Sam / Steve and at the same time I want to obey them for how manly they are compared to me), I made this story very romantic. 💕
-
This story is really important to me, surely in my TOP 5 of the stories I wrote, because I really imagined myself as the character, I described him as I'm supposed to be and the plot is inspired by something I experienced. Maybe the fact that it's too related to my personal life explain why not a lot of people liked this story. The story tell what it would have been if Sam Wilson as Captain America felt in love with me at Avengers Campus. 😍
That would make me really happy if this story received more ❤️ and comments 🙏. Sam Wilson is one of my favorite masculine characters from Marvel comics, and he is becoming amongst my favorite male characters in MCU, but what's sure is that I find him really exciting as Captain America.
This story is the only one where he is Captain America but obviously if I had to write a SamBucky story I would make him Captain (and may I reminds you that Bucky has also been Captain America in the comics).
-
In this story Sam Wilson is in love with Steve Rogers and they both humiliate a fag loser with others Avengers (mostly men of course)
This story is supposed to be humiliating but I hope you'll appreciate the gay moments too.
⭐✨⭐✨⭐✨⭐✨⭐✨⭐✨⭐✨⭐✨
STORIES ABOUT BUCKY BARNES
In this story Steve Rogers is in a polyamorous relationship with Bucky, Natasha and Sam. But he is mostly in love with Bucky Barnes so this is mainly a BuckySteve gay love story.
-
In this fiction which take place after the movie CAPTAIN AMERICA - CIVIL WAR, Bucky is in love with his best friend Steve Rogers but he will begin to fall in love with King T'Challa of Wakanda / Black Panther while Steve falls in love with Sam Wilson.
I have written less stories about Bucky Barnes but I did a long story here. Bucky is such a good man that he would also makes a good lover for M'Baku or even Baron Zemo...
⭐✨⭐✨⭐✨⭐✨⭐✨⭐✨⭐✨⭐✨
And here is a game WOULD YOU RATHER? sended by my dear friend @fartsandotherstink2 about Sam and Bucky
And here is one I sended to @fartsub1 about the Captain America : Steve, Bucky and Sam

I'm not checking my notes, now, I don't want to argue about this. I'm not about to invest in Namor x Shuri, and I'm not about to spend a day becoming the ship's defense attorney. I haven't been invested in a ship since Stevesam and I don't really have passion for any ships anymore. I just said y'all don't have to treat BIPOC heterosexual ships as bad because they're heterosexual.
Also, Namor killed Ramonda because someone wrote it in a screenplay. Characters only do what writers have them do. I feel like I look at the movies the same way I look at comics, and seeing as there's so many different versions of all of these characters, I don't see why it matters if someone writes another version where that didn't happen and these characters date. 100% Shuri would never date Namor after what he did to her mother, and is far more likely to kill him. But that doesn't mean that in fanfic universe 1010101010, he didn't take her to Talokan, they fell for each other, and came together to find a peaceful solution before Nakia killed the Talokanil girl and Namor killed Ramonda.

New Fic Alert: Unbreakable (Erik Killmonger x Black Wakandan OC)
Listen. I have 0 self control lol so here we are with another oneeee. This is a Black Panther AU in which Erik was raised alongside T'Challa in Wakanda after his father died and returned to America at 18. And Nakia has a sister (our OC).
Summary:
Naja, the younger sister of the Queen of Wakanda, hated few things. And at the top of that shortlist: Prince N’Jadaka. Well, if she were honest, he was the entirety of the list. Once destined to be a princess of Wakanda, Naja was the picture of kindness and grace. Now, she is hailed as Wakanda’s most fearless, dangerous, and reclusive war dog. After more than a decade of putting as much distance as possible between her and the life she almost had, Naja is forced to come face to face with the person she hates most again. With a threat looming over Wakanda and lives at risk, Naja must decide if trusting Prince N'Jadaka is worth the risk before it is too late.
So because these folks are actually fictional lol I have a face claim for our OC for once! But like all my OCs, you should picture yourself if you want.
Tumblr media
This is for my Erik Killmonger girliesssssss! Trying my hand at something new (we'll see how it goes lol) Let me know if you want to be tagged.

20 Questions for Fic Writers Game
Tagged by a darling, @autisticempathydaemon! Thanks for the tag!
Tagging @agentplutonium because I wanna pull some SH style interrogative shenanigans/lh
1 - How many works do you have on AO3?
Seventeen, not a lot but it's to be expected somewhat I suppose since I'm busy writing NeXus.
2 - What's your total AO3 word count?
64,509-Oh look I beat Lexi/j/pos
3 - What fandoms do you write for?
Redacted mostly, I have some unreleased Castle Audios fics, an unfinished JJBA SDC fic to finish and a Scott Pilgrim fic to start.
4 - What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
#1 is an Ironpanther Marvel Fic of Avenger's Academy I have not touched in forever called "How Tony Stark landed a king and how T'Challa landed a genius". It was fun tho cuz my hc of T'Challa being demisexual was really well received to my knowledge. #2 is "Spitfire", which admittedly is a good FL/Damien fic and people should read it. #3 is "Ghost of the Past", my Sam/SH fic where they both used to be roommates in DUMP. #4 is "Friends...Am I right?" which was a really fun Darlin/Sam & BE+Fred fic. Finally, #5 is "Moments That Flash By" which is a really good Darlin/David fic for my soul.
5 - Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I do respond when I remember...ADHD makes me do silly silly things like forget that stuff exists. I like comments and they let me know I'm doing s good job.
6 - What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Easy! "Shattered Glass Makes a Good Weapon" Gods, I love that fic so much. It was really fun for me to reach deep down and write Darlin and Quinn like that.
7 -What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
uhhhhhhh I dunno, probably a Marvel fic called "Crossing Buckies and Dotting Hawkeyes", I am a winterhawk girlie and I had fun writing that, others might think it's "Spitfire" or "Break time, Gorgeous" but subjectively, it's that fic.
8 - Do you get hate on fics?
If I have then I haven't seen it. I don't really engage much with fandom to care about hate comments because "haha, look at you getting mad over words about fictional characters kissing", like shut your goofy ass and move on.
9 - Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
I have but I'm not releasing it. I don't feel compelled to do it-mostly cuz it's for me and I like toying with the idea in my head and the people of my current fandom are not ready for the depravity I could unleash.
10 - Do you write crossovers?
No? I have ideated one but I'm still not sure if I want to do it.
11 - Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Nope.
12 - Have you ever had a fic translated?
Nuh uh.
13 - Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Uhhhh no but I have ideated with Lexi about one and I have been too busy to finish the first chapter.
14 - What's your all time favorite ship?
My redactedsona/redacted men What? who said that? It's Darlin/Sam/David/Angel/Damien/Asher/Baaabe/SH/Milo. It's my ship and yes, they're all poly, yes, they're a network and yes, I am happy with myself.
15 - What's a WIP that you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
"Platinum Portrait", It was an old JJBA fic with my OC/Jotaro and I really liked how it was going. Dunno, we'll see how it goes.
16 - What are your writing strengths?
I'm good at dialogue and characterization as well as pacing(?).
17 - What are your writing weaknesses?
Gore, writing long fics, Dead Dove Do Not Eats (I wanna do those at some point with Quinn or Hush OR Porter OR OR OR Imperium Vincent) I like dark shit, idk what to tell y'all and I wanna get better at exploring darker topics properly in my writing.
18 - Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
Gods, I love doing it. If you've read "Break Time, Gorgeous" then I want you to know, I love you and it was fun as hell to write.
19 - First fandom you wrote for?
Marvel. Specifically it was my Ironpanther fic.
20 - Favorite fic you've written?
An unreleased Sam/Darlin smut fic where they fuck in an alleyway. I think it's fun.

In Defense of Namshuri
{ contains spoilers }
After watching Wakanda Forever, I started to see the chemistry between Shuri and Namor. It started after Namor kidnaps Shuri and shows her his underwater kingdom. Besides the undertones of Hades and Persephone which attracted to me to the whole sequence is also how Namor tried to convince Shuri to become allies.
Just think about it, he probably plan this with Attuma and Namora to hunt down Riri, fight anyone who oppose them, but keep Shuri alive. Probably so he can give Shuri the royal gown he gave her and gift her his mother bracelet. A big gesture to give away something so meaningful from a very important person in his life. (and you can't have that big gesture without being brought up again in the future)
Tumblr media
He later talks to Queen Ramonda telling her that he has her daughter and she requested to stay in Talokan, and that was a good deal for Namor as he didn't considere anything else in exchange. A manipulation tactic perhaps, but still an interesting exchange considering that to Namor the offer was a good deal for him.
It goes without saying that one of the factors that attract Namshuri shippers is the Enemies-to-Lovers trope, myself included. Now, let me say this from the complains I saw against the ship. One being their age difference. However, there was no uproar when Thor and Jane became a thing, in fact, it was a far more greater age difference between the couple than it is between Namor and Shuri. But we know the biggest turn off and alarming reason for others to not ship Namor and Shuri together is the fact that Queen Ramonda, Shuri's mom, died by the hand of Namor. Well, first of, for us who like the fictional relationship dynamics of Enemies-to-Lovers is that you can't have the 'enemy' and not commit to being the 'enemy/villain.' Otherwise it would be a Rivals-to-Lovers plot, and rivals don't cross that far the line to kill your family members without becoming your enemy. In a way, it is an extreme version of the dynamic in terms of drama and angst to elevate a relationship from rivals to enemies. So there's no point to argue about the morals of it, we know what it is, and we like the fictional possibilities of how the character can evolve, how the relationship of the two of them to change, and the multiple plot directions it can go from transitioning enemies to finalizing the story to lovers. And that to me, personally, it is an interesting factor.
That said, Shuri ended with nothing left. Her father gone, her brother gone, and now her mother. So she gave in to hatred and revenge, in the Ancestral Plane she meets Killmonger, the representation of her same inner feelings.
This is the start of her journey. She started with being T'Challa younger sister, she who scolded tradition. She had the comfort to be the scientist without the worry to be the ruler of Wakanda and become the Black Panther. That all changed when T'Challa passed away and Wakanda left without their protector. She was still under the care of Queen Ramonda who step up for the diplomatic duties, she still was able to hide away in her lab and not deal with the hurt of the reality that she would be the one to step in eventually. But that didn't meant it would be in the immediate future.
Wakanda Forever set up her growth from a genius, but still, 16 year old girl in the first movie to become the leader and protector of the most advanced and powerful nation. Her transition to force her to become a leader was due to the threat of Namor, no other could had done it. If it was in any other way, she could had relied on M'Baku, someone who had already experience of being a leader. The attack of Wakanda and the death of Ramonda was just the painful but necessary tools needed for her to face her responsibility and start her journey.
Tumblr media
I talked a lot, going in circles without mentioning the reason of this topic. The defense of Namshuri. So let's talk about it, starting with the final fight.
She had full intention to kill Namor to fulfill her revenge, following Killmonger's influence. Even though she was distraught to see him instead of her mother or brother feeling left, we did not got an answer to his question:
"Are you gonna be noble like your brother or take care of business?"
We didn't see what she choose, but it was implied what was her answer. But one of the clashing ideas was exactly that in the first movie. T'Challa chose to forgive his father killer, Killmonger wanted to burn the world for his father death. Considering that the person we are suppose to root for and the one who won was T'Challa. Revenge won't solve anything, but bring more chaos, and the cycle of hatred as either side attacks in retribution.
Back to the fight, Namor is on the floor, defeated, Shuri has no other obstacles to give the final blow. That is when she hesitates and she hears from the Ancestral Plane Queen Ramonda.
Tumblr media
That was Shuri deciding factor to give up her revenge, and mirroring T'Challa, forgiving their parent's killers.
So what was the defense? Ramonda herself telling Shuri to 'show him who you are." And who she is won't end in the final fight or in the rolling end credits, we would see more of Shuri and what she's made of and who she is. Ramonda herself, in a way, asked Shuri to not kill him despite of what he has done.
Enemies-to-Lovers means it is a slow burn, it won't be quick and it won't be pretty. They would go from enemies, to a hint of chemistry but still very much opposing forces, to the action/betrayal that sets the ball rolling for the conflict. There would be mistrust, hidden (and not so hidden) resentments, and anger. Shuri won't see Namor again with a smile nor I am asking to see that any time soon. Shuri won't see Namor as a trusted ally, if anything, reluctantly would seek his help only when it is necessary when she tired up all (and I mean all) her options and resources. Shuri deciding to spare his life did not mean she forgave him or that their nations are in accordance with each other. (Demonstrated when Namora questioned Namor on his decision to stop the battle.)
Enemies-to-Lovers means that there would be a long, long, long road ahead for them to trust each other. At least in trials and in very specific and strict circumstances. For this to work, there would be a lot of trials for Namor to prove to be a reliable ally. Not only for his nation but as his own person to prove to Shuri and her people. Eventually as they grow to slowly trust each other there would be more chances of them connecting the same way it was when Namor showed her his home.
Tumblr media
One thing is for sure, thanks to the events of Wakanda Forever, Namor and Shuri are tied to one another. Namor said that once Wakanda is in trouble they would have no choice but to ask for his help. This can go both ways. Either him simply aiding Wakanda as a true ally or, in response to Namora questioning his decision to stop the fight, might be an underlying that by allies means a way to sneak into Wakanda again. Namora can too be a representation of how some people in Talokan feel. In the other hand, she spared his life and he can be grateful for that. It's the push and pull between them, and that's what attractive for Namshuri shippers.

BLACK PANTHER
youtube
Ryan Coogler's "Black Panther" (2018) stars Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa, the Black Panther and King of the fictional African nation of Wakanda. The afrofuturistic nature of this civilization, with it being a technologically advanced society not conquered or colonized, and the focus of the film being solely on Black characters, and with this film also being a large budget Marvel movie, was a defining moment for Black America, making this film so significant, as in both science fiction and superhero movies alike, the lack of representation is apparent with people of color characters generally being cast aside as a side character, so for a Black character to not only be the main character but have many supporting characters and prevalent characters also be Black, with a plot surrounding an afro-futurist society is very significant. 
Tumblr media
Helen Addison-Smith's "E.T Go Home: Indigeneity, Multiculturalism, and 'Homeland' in Contemporary Science Fiction" broadly discusses the idea of 'alienness' in science fiction and the implications of otherness, expressing that; "however, unlike the otherness of these creations (cyborg, monster), the alien's otherness is biological" (Addison-Smith, 15). These implications of biological alienness in "Black Panther" can be seen through antagonist Eric'  Killmonger' Stevens. The biological separation between citizens of Wakanda and African American Killmonger is apparent even down to physical appearance, with Killmonger having many scars, which he explains mark how many people he has killed. Additionally, these scars are also of cultural significance, as they were inspired by the Chambri Tribe from Papua New Guinea, and these scars are celebrated within this tribe as they are seen as a way to showcase strength and perseverance. However, within the film, these scars help further Killmonger's 'otherness' in the society of Wakanda, exhibiting the oppression he has faced in America, leading him to want to fight for Black liberation initially and initiating a takeover of Wakanda from his cousin T'Challa. Biological factors such as birthplace help to give Killmonger and T'Challa very separate identities, as one is an African American citizen, and the other an African citizen, and this furthers Killmonger's perceived identity as an 'alien' figure as his homeland is different from the other characters within this film.

Steve asks Ross if the Winter Soldier will get a lawyer and Ross laughs off the question. (Specifically, Everett Ross; This movie commits the cardinal sin of putting two characters with the same name in it.)
This moment has always made me feel weird. Because I understand the intent: The Accords team fully intend to carry out a miscarriage of justice, having the wrong man sentenced without trial on grounds that they know he did it. He's laughing at the idea of a lawyer because this is not a fair justice system; it's a corrupt government institution.
But it's weird. Ross goes on to explain that the Soldier will be psychologically evaluated and then extradited. That's not a miscarriage of justice. If he's to be extradited, then he wouldn't be tried here. He's going to face the legal system of the country they're extraditing to; Presumably Wakanda.
We know by this point that Bucky's innocent, but nobody in the movie does. Extradition to Wakanda to face Wakandan justice for assassinating their monarch is entirely fair international policy. Ross is right; It is funny that Steve thinks lawyering up in Berlin is going to help Bucky somehow.
If anything, a miscarriage of justice would actually be what Tony's trying to spin. The way Tony explains the deal to Steve is that if he signs the Accords, they will retroactively make his fight with GSG-9 into a legitimately sanctioned Avengers operation so no one faces any penalties, and they'll then use this to send the Winter Soldier to the U.S. instead, depriving Wakanda of the justice they're owed.
To us, in the audience, that's a flawed but decent gesture on Tony's part. We want him to help Steve and Bucky. We know Bucky's innocent and don't want T'Challa to have him executed.
But stepping outside the protagonist-centric lens? Tony's been there for five minutes and he's already abusing his power. He's, by his own admission, softballing the penalty for arrested international criminals purely because of nepotism, and he's about to tell the sovereign nation of Wakanda, "Screw off, America First!"
In the context of a Captain America antagonist, Tony's come to Steve offering a Deal with the Devil, tempting enough for Steve to almost bite. In the context of a fictional universe separated from narrative, Tony's demonstrating exactly why he cannot be trusted with authority.
