#Bruno x Kamran

[indigosabyss]

Did a full outline of the "Kamala Khan & Co. Included In Spider-Man: Far From Home" fic, and it's coming out to five pages of my notebook.

some highlights are:

the "multi-step plan to an epic romance" bit from the movie being paralleled by Kamala and Bruno putting together a plan to get Nakia and Zoe together over summer break

the borderline-codependent friendship of Kamala and Bruno

Kamala noticing after the Venice fight that the Elemental acted like water-based practical effects, having the experience of a mixed-media film nerd

Gamer Besties Kamala and Ned

Nakia using an empty fire extinguisher as a melee weapon against what she thinks is a fire kaiju

Un-Blipped Midtown Science Trip Kids hating on Bruno and Kamala for always winning science fairs

MJ Realizing Ms Marvel's Secret Identity Before Figuring Out Spider-Man's (she gets there a couple seconds later)

RETURN OF THE PHOTON GLOVES

Fighting Mysterio on his own playing field

Flash being a Zoe Zimmer fan

Exploring the fact that Nick Fury and Maria Hill are the Skrulls Talos and Soren in disguise

Pinpoint (Qureshi Gupta) cameo

Aamir being a responsible adult chaperone

Peter NOT getting run over by a train this time (it gets close tho)

dudes idk how long this is going to be. could easily be 80k

Not including Shuri and the man who murdered her mother because I have common sense.

there’s just something about kareem and kamala in ms marvel…

like, bruno and kamran are both more obvious love interests (with bruno pining after kamala and her maybe?? feeling the same way and kamala pining after kamran and him probably?? feeling the same way even though his mom put him up to getting to know her and their almost-kiss came right after he found out his mom was dead and while he was being actively chased by the government) and they both attempt to pursue a romance with her more explicitly (again, the “date” and the almost-kiss with kamran, bruno trying to ask kamala to dance)

but kareem comes into the show as kamala’s total equal. there are no lopsided feelings, they have good chemistry but nothing too dramatic romance-wise. he keeps her on her toes and vice versa…AND he’s nice enough to invite her, a girl he just met that that day, to come hang out with him and his friends. everything is mostly platonic but there’s a pretty obvious vibe, especially during the bonfire scene. slow and steady wins the race, that’s all I can say

[auxilioooo]

Who do you ship Kamala most with? (comics or series)

personally bruno for both. i understand why people ship her with kamran in the series but i can not ship comic kamala with comic kamran because what he did. i still respect those who do or if they ship her with other characters. i don’t really focus on shipping that much cuz i’ve notice it’s given me anxiety due to people getting mad for not agreeing so i try not to bring it up that much

[calliesadeckis]

ngl i hope bruno and kamran make an appearance as boyfriends in the marvels

[romicat]

And also that alien prince, Rasputin IV, Kamran, Nova, Nadia/Wasp II, Dr Gaiah, that one guy when she took the internship at Oscorp, and at least one version of Kang the Conquer with her future self.

I think the best part is how she's made out with a number of them. . . And she's still single. Like, girl wants to keep her options open. Normally in fiction the kiss is what seals the deal, but instead Kamala is like "that was nice, so anyways."

Kamala is a menace.

Kamala Khan’s bookshelves

Kamala’s room in The Marvels is an absolute treasure trove of little details to zoom in on, and I’ve identified so many books on her shelves!

Shelf 1, top to bottom:

1. Landmark Experiments in Twentieth Century Physics by George L. Trigg

College-level book about experiments that helped us learn about x-rays, lasers, isotopes, superconductors, and all kinds of other things I don’t understand. Meant to be more practical than theoretical since it talks about the actual methodologies of these experiments. Could be for school, or for Kamala and Bruno to run their own tests of Kamala’s powers. The first of many books in the Khan house that come from Dover Publications.

2. Space Time Matter by Hermann Weyl

“An esoteric initiation into space time physics” -Amazon reviewer. I’m gonna be real, I don’t understand half the words in this book description, but apparently it’s famous for introducing gauge theory, which was later reborn as phase transformations in quantum theory. I can see this being something Kamala reads to try and understand the bangle transporting her to the Partition. Also from Dover.

3. A Map to the Sun by Sloane Leong

A graphic novel about a high school girl’s basketball team learning to work together despite their many differences and conflicts. Also it has a gorgeous color palette. Seems fairly self explanatory why it’s in this movie. I’ll definitely be borrowing this from my library! Like my friend Kamala recommended a book to me herself.

4. The Good Immigrant anthology edited by Nikesh Shukla

21 essays from Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) people in the UK about their experiences. It was crowdfunded initially, extremely critically acclaimed, and has gotten spinoffs and sequels. Riz Ahmed, who is British Pakistani, is one contributor, and a fun fact is that Rish Shah (Kamran from Ms. Marvel) worked with Riz Ahmed in an Oscar winning short called The Long Goodbye. Also, the editor, Nikesh Shukla, is currently writing the Spider-Man India comics series!

5. Bright Lines by Tanwi Nandini Islam

A coming-of-age story about 3 young adults with complicated family, friend, and romantic relationships between them. They have to travel from Brooklyn to Bangladesh together one summer and thereby discover a lot about themselves. I haven’t read it, but there seems to be a ton of complex representation of LGBTQ, POC, immigrant, and Muslim characters. I wonder how much the three main characters can be compared with our three characters with complex relationships in The Marvels, and I wonder which character Kamala most relates to!

6. I can’t tell! The font is bugging the hell out of me because theoretically, with that amount of contrast, I should be able to read a word when I get two inches from the TV and mess with the settings. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

7. I also can’t tell, but I’m being easier on myself because the title is written in white on a yellow background. It’s not the only book I know off the top of my head with this color scheme (Yellowface by RF Kuang) because the title is definitely multiple words. Help!

Shelf 2, right to left:

1. One Night that Changes Everything by Lauren Barnholdt

A YA romance where, through a convoluted series of events, a teenager must face all of her insecurities in one night. I can see Kamala devouring this as brain candy after wrestling with those advanced science books, or using it as fic inspiration!

2. Can’t tell, but love the color scheme!

This next one is a weird one, because I am 100% sure of what book it is, but I cannot find a picture of a matching edition.

3. Wizard at Large by Terry Brooks

It’s definitely, without a doubt, this book (where a character and a magical medallion are accidentally transported to Earth from another realm and switches places with an evil genie). Like those are the words on the spine and the plot of the book is an obvious choice for this movie. The fonts match on the audiobook, the ebook, and the next two books in the series. But try as I might, I cannot find any proof on the internet that the physical book that appears in Kamala’s room, that uses those two fonts and that spine formatting, exists. This is haunting me…

4. (On the other side of the box) It’s not The Twilight Saga Eclipse, but I definitely thought it was before I could watch in high definition. I think it’s a journal or sketchbook of Kamala’s; there are a bunch scattered throughout the room.

Shelf 3:

I’ve only identified the bottom book, which is Einstein’s Theory of Relativity by Max Born (Dover Publications). The third one up is HAUNTING me, it looks SO identifiable and yet!

Living Room Side Table:

1. Amateur Astronomer’s Handbook by JB Sidgwick (from Dover Publications)

2. Cosmology by Hermann Bondi (also Dover)

Both of these seem less difficult than the science books in Kamala’s room, but reviewers note that it helps to know calculus when reading Cosmology. Idk which member of the Khan family is reading these, but I love their family’s connection to the stars 💫

Tbh I’m having so much fun doing this! And I really wish we got to see Monica’s living space so I can analyze her books 😭

[dragcnbreak]

ship dynamics have been trending on twitter so here are my favorite ones that apply to bruno and kamran

[christopher-bryant]

kamala deserves to have 3 boyfriends and those boyfriends also deserve boyfriends

[movie-magic]

[velvet4510]

I refuse to include Shuri and the man who murdered her mother because I have common sense.

[waterisntreal]

I started Ms. Marvel thinking I was gonna ship Bruno/Kamala but now I’m here with Bruno/Kamran and Kamala/Kareem

[manikas-whims]

Bruno: Do you know what your problem is? You're so hot that no one ever tells you to shut the hell up.

Kamran: You..you think I'm hot?

Bruno: Shut the hell up!

[martwy-basen]

if i do ship kamala with anyone, it's kareem (bc he's SO COOL in the comics, like i fell in love IMMEDIATELY. he's ofc very cool in the show too, i just wish we could see more of him)

and that is why i think bruno and kamran should get together :))

[rambheem-is-real]

I CAN’T BE THE ONLY ONE THAT SHIPS KAMRAN AND BRUNO AFTER THAT EPISODE
