#kamala khan x kareem

[heckcareoxytwit]

Kamala Khan and Red Dagger are on the rooftop when they are attacked by Zombie Cyclops. At first, Kamala was hesitant to fight Cyclops because he was her friend/teammate until she realizes that this "Cyclops" is a zombie. Kamala theorizes that the Orchis had stole the corpses of the mutants who died earlier and used the bodies as weapons against her. While fighting Zombie Cyclops, Red Dagger could not believe that Kamala came out of the "egg" during her resurrection. Red Dagger takes down Zombie Cyclops by smashing the body to the ground before coming back to the rooftop. Just as Kamala and Red Dagger kiss, they are attacked by more mutant zombies - Zombie Jubilee, Zombie Cannonball and Zombie Nightcrawler. Kamala Khan and Red Dagger work together in taking down the zombie mutants.

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

Ship: Kamala Khan/Kareem (Ms. Marvel)

Karmala my beloveds!! The devotion!! The red scarf!! Years-long friends to married arc Disney I beg you 💞💞

(For clarification, Muslims don’t really date, they get married! Which ofc Karmala would do as adults)

Also, the reason I didn’t color in “brb gotta go through their whole ship tag” is that unfortunately I have, and the ships that Karmala is usually background for…*sighs* (there aren’t enough otp: true fics for them!! And they aren’t even paired with good ships in fics!!)

send a ship and i’ll fill out the bingo!

[bookish-cravings]

Nuh uh, that’s me 😤

But no, they’re so cute together and if I can’t have Kamala and Kareem, I’ll take Kamala and Miles, Marvel, please, ANYBODY but Bruno 😭

“Kamala should be with Bruno!!”

Kamala should be with literally anyone else 😘

How Ms. Marvel: Crushed metaphorically discusses serious issues of rape-culture and consent

Having recently re-read much of G. Willow Wilson's classic run on Ms. Marvel last year, it was interesting revisiting much of the original Kamala Khan stories and noticing interesting themes and nuances that I missed on my first read-through. This was especially true in regards to the Crushed arc wherein Kamala falls head-over-heels for her first crush Kamran, whom at first glance turns out to be everything Kamala believed her parent's would want for their daughter due to him also being a Pakistani-American Muslim, as well as someone Kamala could also relate to as a geeky nerd who recently acquired Inhuman superpowers. But 2/3rds of the way into the arc, Wilson pulls back the rug to reveal that Kamran is actually an abusive and manipulative scumbag who kidnaps Kamala in order to try and force her to join a group of Inhuman extremists and supremacists that he's a member of (basically the Inhuman version of Magneto's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants from X-Men).

The twist of Kareem's sinister duplicitous nature effectively underscores what the Crushed arc is ultimately truly about: a metaphor for serious topics like rape-culture, abusive relationships, and consent.

While on the surface, Crushed is about Kamala suffering heartbreak by learning her first crush is actually an Inhuman extremist, G. Willow Wilson stated that “[She] wanted to talk about consent in a fun, accessible way, without making the world into a terrifying place.”

And those themes are on full display in the arc, as Kamran not only subtly manipulates Kamala’s feelings towards him to get her to join Lineage’s gang, but he also lies about riding her to school in order to get her into his car before zapping her unconscious and kidnapping her to New Attilan against her consent. Most disgustingly of all however, Kamran outright victim blames Kamala, gaslighting her into believing that she’s to blame for her kidnapping and falling in love with Kamran.

So while it’s presented in a family friendly manner, the parallels to rape-culture are definitely apparent here.

Additionally, Wilson effectively counters the harmful patriarchal narratives of victim-blaming that are so commonplace in our society by having Kamala resist and stand up to Kamran, acknowledging to herself that he’s the only party who’s in the wrong in this situation. Essentially, Kamala learns from this experience that teen love can sometimes be deceptive. Despite Kamran’s surface-level qualities of being a handsome Pakistani-American Inhuman with similar interests & experiences as Kamala, underneath it all he’s nothing more than an abusive & manipulative jerk.

While some critics have argued that Kamran’s villainous portrayal unintentionally reinforces Islamophobic stereotypes about Muslim men being inherently violent, I feel this is not only counterbalanced by the positive depictions of Kamala’s Abu & older brother Aamir, but later issues of Ms. Marvel further illustrate Wilson's (as well as fellow Muslim editor, Sana Amanat’s) ability to effectively commentate and critique issues within their own community and culture as Muslim women themselves, so Kamran’s villainous portrayal feels more genuine than stereotypical IMO.

So overall, Crushed is an incredibly interesting and nuanced early arc of Ms. Marvel due how it effectively balances lighthearted elements of teen drama & romance with darker elements of rape-culture, consent, abuse extremism, and heartbreak.

🥰🤩[Morgan]📖[Bumizumi time travel AU]🎁

🥰 : A fluff WIP snippet

Han scowled. “So much for not having a crush on her, huh, Luke?” “Han,” Luke protested, “it’s not like—!” But Han stormed out too, and Luke sighed. “What are we gonna do with them?” “Lock them in a closet together?” Lucy suggested. “That’s the only way this’ll get resolved, and you know it as well as I do.” “Once things settle down a bit,” Luke said, “then I agree, let’s do it.”

Oh Han 😂 also, I changed the kiss to a hug in ESB, because...imo it gets the same sentiment across without being weird af. Plus, this way, it's easier to believe that Leia's just doing this to make Han jealous—she doesn't actually have feelings for Luke.

🤩 : A WIP snippet about or with dialogue from [Morgan]

“Oh, I don’t know,” Morgan grinned, “I, for one, would love to hear more about it.” Ignoring Barry’s glare, she greeted Felicity with a cheerful, “Hi, Felicity, I’m Morgan. I remember you from trivia night.”

This is in response to Felicity saying "[Barry and I] looked down that [romantic] road and said no thank you" 😂 and Morgan, surrogate little sister that she is, loves having the chance to tease Barry about it.

📖 : A published snippet from [the Bumizumi time travel AU]

“I have nothing to hide,” Bumi promised. “Then tell us who you are,” Sokka said. “The full truth.” Bumi took a deep breath. “Okay. This...this is gonna sound absolutely crazy, but just...bear with me. I’m Katara’s son from the future, and I was sent back 22 years in time.”

I keep meaning to get back to this 😅 one day I'll finish the fic and post the rest of the chapters!

🎁 : Name a published gift fic someone has given you that you love and can't recommend enough (be sure to tag the author. Or if you don't have an AO3 or haven't been gifted a fic, what kind of fic would you like to be gifted?)

thinking about what it'd be like to be yours, by the amazing ohsalamanders! I absolutely adore Karmala (Kareem x Kamala), and it's so nice to have a few fics just about them, portraying how I'd love their relationship to unfold 💞 I highly recommend this to anyone who loved Ms. Marvel and found Kareem and Kamala's banter fun.

(Really I recommend all her fics, they're so good 💞)
