Im So, So, So Intrigued, That When Shuri Saw Her Cousin In The Ancesteral Plane, She Didnt Call Him Killmonger

I’m so, so, so intrigued, that when Shuri saw her cousin in the ancesteral plane, she didn’t call him Killmonger or Erik. She called him by his real name, N’Jadaka. And I wonder why.

It’s the in your face flirting that had me squeeing in my chair!

Okay I knew Druig and Makkari would have the classic sunshine/grouch + “I hate everybody except you” tropes but was ANYONE gonna tell me that it’d be exactly what I expected and a million times better??? He’s surprisingly such an incorrigible flirt with her and his affections are so outright?? There’s none of that hot/cold shit like he’s so obvious with his feelings for her??? “My beautiful beautiful Makkari” SHUT THE FUCK UP IM LOSING IT

I cannot get Jibaro out of my head.

Watching her emerge, stripped of her armor. The slow realization of what she’d gone through. The shock. The wail. The clumsy attempt to perform her dance of seduction before the pain and rage take over and she abandons what she knows to lash out with her grief.

I’ve read about so many women turned into monsters in lore after trauma that, I always see them as survivors of some terrible injustice. That they chose to become horrific to prevent ever experiencing the same pain.

So her cry to me said, this was never supposed to happen to me again.

And I am just…….

I’ve always loved himbos 🥰

So there’s this huge dudebro in my class, who, yesterday, sat next to me. And I’m sitting there sweating because like… I’m wearing my shirt with the lesbian flag on it, and he’s the most popular jock in school, and always has this look on his face that say ‘I can and will kill you’. He looks me up and down, stares at me for a minute and then goes, “So. Girls in skirts and long socks, am I right?”

To which I nodded solemnly, both out of agreement, surprise and also a healthy amount of awkward fear. He nodded and went, “You get it.”

I said, “Yep.” He fistbumped me, and on went our lives.

I just finished Legendborn and I need to wear and display my love for it IMMEDIATELY. I need fanfics. I need fan art (especially of Sel. Does anyone else see Avan Jogia/Timothee Chalamet/Aaron Tyler-Johnson when they read him?) I need pins, stickers, tote bags, face masks, brightly colored t-shirts and freaking hairbows! I need skits on Tiktok and fan theories we can argue about. I need the screenplay of its adaptation on my newsfeed TOMORROW with their hottest picks for casting (who do you see as Bree? I need a Janelle Monae look alike!) because I have my heart set on a Nick Robinson like dude with a killer smile that can BREAK MY HEART to play Nick. And Anika Noni Rose is DEFINITELY Patricia. I am ready to preorder the sequel. I didn’t see the twist coming until I was reading it. Holy freaking shiz balls if you have not read Legendborn by Tracy Deonn wtf are you doing with your life? Magic. History. Heavy BGM. The MAN fucking up stuff. Teenagers forced to save the world. And a sprinkle of love (and a dash of a love triangle) like what’s not to like!?

The pain and suffering around the globe is thick enough to physically gag you. Free Palestine. Free Congo. Free all the necks and backs bent by oppressive states and systems. Free the corrupted hearts that see any human as less than.

Just a small reminder

Do not stop talking about Palestine

Do not stop boycotting, do not stop protesting, do not stop speaking out. Be the voice for those who had their autonomy stripped away. Be the voice for the people, the parents, the grandparents, the children, the infants. Be the voice for the animals, the trees, the buildings, the very soil that has been desecrated. Stand up for what is right in whatever little way is possible, but do not stop talking about Palestine.

DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT PALESTINE

DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT PALESTINE

DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT PALESTINE
