So, I have been thinking about this lately. If now TVA allowed every single branch to grow, wouldn't it be possible that millions of the branches are just smutty MCU pairings fanfictions?

The one thing Percy Jackson has that neither Aquaman or Namor usually seems to have is Hydrokinesis. Percy can control the water, make it explode in giant bursts of energy. He can bend it to his will. I don't think I've ever seen Namor or Aquaman do that. So while Aquaman has the ability to talk to fish, and Namor gets flight and super-strength, Percy actually has hydrokinesis. He might actually be able to battle them with their own life source.

I think I've heard Mera and Aqualad are hydrokinetic too, though (and i think aquababy might also have been?). And somehow that makes Aqualad sound so much more appealing than Aquaman. Also, I prefer Aqualad's colour scheme. I think Aqualad is just more interesting than Aquaman in general, which is kind of funny.

Me: I hope we get a future Namor x Shuri kiss scene

*casually comes across this video on Twitter*

Me:

Go on without me y’all. It’s been fun while it lasted✌🏾*reevaluates everything and changes blog theme to something entirely different*

*Shuri watching a woman flirting with Namor from her Palace balcony*

Shuri, dead serious: We don't do executions anymore?

Okoye barely paying attention bc she's watching Attuma get hit on as well: No, my Queen.

Shuri: We might have to bring that back.

Okoye: We just might.

young Namor eating idk seaweed while watching his generals talk. HEAR ME OUT: work romance and Namor clocks it so he’s having fun watching it bloom

young Namor but really he’s like over a hundred years. great grandpa aged deadass

older women talking with their daughters and grandchildren how they all had/have crushes on their king. The men all look at each other knowing they know others who had the same thoughts. The same tiny shorts in a megalodon skull throne still have the girlies giggling (so real 🤭). imagine people come up with nicknames to talk about him. Namor decoded them a long time ago but acts oblivious because to him they are like children in a playground and he’s not a fun ruiner

I read way more DC comics than Marvel usually, I like reading both, but boy how I envy Marvel's sweet sweet Epic Collection books, there are modern stories, silver and golden age stories (their Human Torch, Namor and War comics from old times), even less popular titles and runs like bronze age She-Hulk and Spider-Woman (I like them both ok?) are all collected and published... Why would DC not go the same route and publish their silver age Legion of Super-Heroes, Superman, Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen comics (that were hugely popular back then), the golden age Police Comics (with all the classic Plastic Man material), Alan Scott's Green Lantern, Jay Garrick's Flash, Captain Marvel comics, some of these are so good, but I have to read them in potato quality in shady websites, at least make digital files of these runs, you don't need to publish them all, but make them accessible, this is your last warning DC, I'm keeping the Bat-family hostage and I'm not afraid to hurt them, make your old stuff accessible!

“Namor and shuri don’t have anything/much in common,”

I beg to differ:

- both were born into royalty (and hold themselves as such)

- both come from and live in (similarly) culturally rich nations

- both enjoy history, science, and art

- both design/draw

- both invent/innovate to improve their nations

- both are leaders (shuri leads/is the head of her lab).

- both are now enhanced individuals that protect their nations

- both are associated with animals

- both have been through severely traumatic events and have bonded over that

- both are great listeners, both are playful

- both have lost mothers/close loved ones

- both have been leaders of their nations

- both come from the strongest nations that have vibranium

- both are anti-colonialism

The list goes on and on..

Just kept seeing this pop up in certain spaces and just personally felt the opposite.

What draws me to them as opposed to their other ships is that they do have so much in common. they are very similar, and because of those similarities they truly understand each other the most. Something that Namor needs, and something that has been very healing and maturing for Shuri.

Getting bombarded with Reylo and Namor/Shuri in my algorithm has really made me rethink being an Oshamir shipper, lol.

Ship whatever you want, but maaaaaaan I truly am not a huge fan of Reylos. The ship itself is whatever to me, because like Namor/Shuri, I simply don’t get romantic vibes. But the fan base for Rey and Kylo turned my stomach way back when, because so many of them were horrible to John Boyega for no reason. Not all of them, obviously, but I did not have a fun experience with the sequel trilogy because of all the racism, and now it’s bringing that same fan base back around and idk. It’s odd to me that so many of them are feeling vindicated, yet are low key still being racist.

Yes, they ship a biracial Black person with a Filipino man, but a lot of the Reylo accounts I’m coming across are also constantly saying stuff like “Why couldn’t Reylo have this hype?” or “Oshamir shippers need to thank Reylo for paving the way!” And I’m just over here like… But y’all were being racist though… what is there to thank?

Enemies to lovers is not a concept that began and ended with Reylo, but also, trying to make the thrill of Osha and Qimir getting together all about two white people, knowing how the same fandom treated a Black actor in defense of said white characters, rubs me the wrong way. So now I’m wondering if involving myself in the fandom is even worth it, because it has such a large demographic of white fans who seemingly only care about the ship because they can project Reylo on to it.

And I’m also nervous that if Amandla or Manny say a single thing against Reylo, not even negatively but anything their hardcore shippers dislike, they’ll turn on them. Amandla is already getting hate for just being the main character in the first place, so coupled with how I’m feeling about Reylo shippers at the moment, I don’t know. I just don’t want a ship with no white characters involved, to be taken over by entitled white fans, who seemingly see no issue with the reason so many people disliked their fan base in the first place. It wasn’t just because they shipped Rey and Kylo. There were real world issues at play, and I feel like they’re simmering again.

sooo…I’ve fallen down a nashuri rabbit hole and um yeah

[flightlogmcu]

Me, waking up in a cold sweat:

the meteor that contained vibranium that landed near what is modern-day Mexico is what gave the Talokans power, which allows them to live and breath underwater. They also have to be very careful in how they move on land (I.e. wear breathing masks).

At the same time mako Island in H2O was an island formed from a meteor that then gave these girls the power to turn into mermaids, who also have to be careful on land (not getting hit by water or they'll flop like a fish).

By that logic they are either distant relatives because the same meteor broke apart and hit them separately but giving them similar powers. OR there's a particular type of space rock coming from somewhere that has similar properties that can change the genetic makeup of humans into amphibious creatures. That or the sheer genetics of humans and how we all go back to Plankton type forms of the water might be what changes them.

With this basis, I believe that the H2O universe and the Marvel cinematic universe are one. In this essay I will-

For the sake of giving Marvel options:

I would fucking love it if Namor and Shuri got a romantic thing going eventually.

But I would also fucking love if, for the next ten years, these two go on adventures together.

I would love if they discover each other deeper.

If they fight for what's right by seeing the truth that lies in the other person.

At the end of it, if they stand together, I would be too fucking happy.

Ship is the relationship. They had a pretty eventful start that has a lot of potential to be explored through different paths.

Tbh it would be weird if this isn't a canon slowburn anws so. 🤪

Let's keep the dream alive! It's pretty to hard to kill it really... Just eating up my brain space, paying no mortgage...

as he should. mind your business. pollute your own shit.

I swear, marvel just has characters who are way more relatable than DC. Probably because I find that a lot of marvel characters are lonely misfits or outcasts with issues like isolation, anger issues, depression, self doubt, etc. Marvel has so many characters like that. The Hulk, Doctor Strange, Namor, The Silver Surfer, Cyclops (the x-men more broadly apply, but cyclops is most relatable to me), The Vision, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Hank Pym, Iron Man (the man pushes friends away because of his heart condition), I could really go on and on. There's so many relatable characters at Marvel.

Are there as many relatable characters at DC? No. No, there isn't. Martian Manhunter and Red Tornado have the loneliness and outcast issue i talked about, and guy Gardner and Jason Todd have anger issues like me, but a lot of their bigger heroes just seem boring and well-adjusted. DC still has some characters I like, but it really feels like their big characters don't stand up to the big hitters at marvel. Which is probably why I do often want to just be able to restart DC from scratch. They have so many issues, for me.
