Okoye: *visiting Talokan For The First Time* Huh, This Is Nice.

little miss 3 apples tall 🤏✨

alright listen closely: Namor is completely head over heels for Shuri. THAT MAN IS A WHORE, now let me elaborate...

after their first encounter at the river and Shuri's kidnapped 💀, he gives her a gorgeous dress, gives her his mother's bracelet, tells her his and his people's story, shows her his kingdom, has a very calming and understanding conversation even though they don't come to an agreement and tells her she's the first one from the surface to see his kingdom??? 🤨🤨🤨

and don't even get me started with the looks he kept giving her while explaining his reasons. The way Namor whispered he heard what she said back at the beach and then delivers the “Let's burn it together” line EXUDING ENEMIES TO LOVERS TROPE!!!

Queen Ramonda seeks communication with Namor at the beach, trying to make a deal to let Shuri go. She asks what can she exchange for Shuri's release AND THE FISH MAN TELLS HER WITH A BIG ASS SMILE ON HIS FACE: “nothing” (bro already had their marriage and future planned in his head, how'd their kids look like, their names, everything, i just know.)

as they fought he said he wished things were different, yielded when she told him to. When giving his powerful speech before that big fight btw talokans and wakandans, he was sitted on his throne WITH THAT GODDMAN SHELL LIKE A BROKEN-HEARTED EX WHO COULD NOT STOP THINKING ABOUT HER I--

and after everything there he was, painting Shuri beating his ass on that wall and trying to convince Namora his decisions were a good idea like “listen i know it looks like i have a crush on her but trust me i know what i'm doing---” poor Namora did not take his shit and almost lost it 😔

you want me to cry??? ya bastard…too late

not me thinking about the final battle when Shuri looks up crying, sees Ramonda in the ancestral plane and she says “show him who you are”, making the perfect parallel with the first movie when T'challa is loosing the fight against M'baku and Ramonda says the exact same words, now excuse while i tear up.

This but Punkflower

Ship discourse makes me head hurt

People are always hating on Hugo Weaving's Elrond for not being atractive enough or looking too old for an elf but

He pulled off playing a younger, dashing, more physically active version of his character really well in the Hobbit while he was actually like 20 years older LMAO

People can hate on my man Hugo but he was the only one who genuinely looked younger and more handsome somehow, all the others looked visibly older, even Cate who is so beautiful and aged extremely will did look older than in LOTR but he didn't. I need some respect for him

she tried to rip out his gills. he dislocated her shoulder. THEY NEED TO TRY AND KILL EACH OTHER MORE BEFORE THEY FUCK

also pls write him growling more. he does it like three times throughout the movie

alright but somebody gotta write me some attuma x okoye fics, they are the perfect enemies to lovers, they are extremely hot and great fighters, they actually beat each other in battle WHERE ARE THE ATTUMA X OKOYE FICS I NEED THEM ASAP!!!!

dear non-spanish speakers writing spiderverse fanfiction (or anything with spanglish),

in spanglish you don’t switch by word, you switch by phrase.

it’s not:

“[first part of the sentence in english], [second part of the sentence in english], mi amor.”

“[full english sentence], querida.”

it’s:

“[first part of the sentence in english], [segunda parte de la frase en español], mi amor.”

also miles is boricua, miguel is mexican. they have two different accents and use different vocabulary for certain words.

also miles is “nyourican” - a puerto rican native to new york - while his mom is directly from the island, so there are differences there, too, because his spanish is more influence by new york english. 

here’s some good references that aren’t google translate (which usually pulls from spain, a country that speaks vastly differently from latin america)

SpanishDict

WordReference

here have some random videos on different slang/spanish accents:

Puerto Rico

Mexico (1) (2)

-

in spanish most words are gendered, so most feminine words end in a and masculine/gender neutral words end in o. adding ito/ita makes something cuter, smaller and more affectionate.

spanish nicknames that aren’t “mi amor”

“querido/a” - darling

“cariño” - dear (always masculine regardless, of who its being said to)

“mi princesa/príncipe” - my prince/princess

“mi rey/reina” - my king/queen

“papí/mamí” - can be used in any way; romantic, sexual, familial for one’s parent or child, or just platonically

“tesoro” - treasure

also spanish is a language that uses adjectives as terms of affection both cute ones and ones that might sound insensitive in english

gordo (fat), flaco (skinny), negro (black), blanco (white), linda (pretty), bella (beautiful), morena (brown skin), etc.

and like most languages that are not english, spanish has multiple ways of saying i love you.

“te amo” - romantic

“te quiero” - familial, platonic (although there’s nothing wrong with using it romantically)

see also:

te adoro - i adore you

te deseo - i want you

te necesito - i need you

 and, of course, they can vary regionally too.

please use this because i have read a lot of really well written things that take me out of it because the use of spanglish is terrible. don’t just go on your presumptions that spanish/spanglish works in the same way that english does.

buena suerte, gringos.
