Now That The Series Is Over With What Happened In The Last Episode...

SOLID NINE, YA’LL

This could be fun. I scored 11. How about you?

Aragorn and Thranduil meeting each other [Part II]

Aragorn: *whispering to Legolas* Whats your fathers NAME???

Legolas: wai-what? you dont know-

Thranduil who has just seen his son : Legolas, Ion-nin! It has been long...

Thranduil hugging Legolas: *whispering in his ear* WHAT IS YOUR FRIENDS NAME????

Legolas:*tries not crack up*

Can we talk about the 80s kiddie kimoyo bracelet on T’Challa’s wrist?

Like, first of all, it’s cute. And also is a small hint of how even advanced Wakandan technology is still evolving in the Universe.

They probably have some communication device, designed for eight year olds, and possibly had a tracker of some kind. Because T’Chaka knew that T’Challa had been kidnapped by an alien spaceship.

These bracelets probably didn’t have as much range in the 80s, because by the time the Wakandans realized that T’Challa had gone out of their borders, they couldn’t communicate with him to come back. Nor was he able to call them later to find out what was going on at home. Or to check if they were really dead. [Shuri later makes unlimited range communication devices in 2016]

What if...T'challa became a Star-Lord ?

Marvel What If (2021) | Dir. Bryan Andrews

Black Panther Headcanon!

Remember T’Chaka’s suit from the flash back scene of Black Panther?

And that sash, which he wore over his suit.

And then the Merchant tribe’s dresses

And then Ramonda’s costumes, especially this one

They all have a purple fabric and gold metallic embroidery in it, and I’m assuming that it’s a traditional style of the merchant tribe, since we see it in multiple merchant tribe costumes. Most of their clothes have something purple with gold on it.

Since the spouse of the Ruler of Wakanda would be from one of the four tribes, there is a 1/4 + 1/2 chance is that Ramonda is from the Merchant tribe. In the comics, Ramonda wasn’t from Wakanda, but in the movie, considering the costume details, she could have had a major connection.

My main headcanon is that when a Black Panther gets married, they wear a sash in honor of their spouse’s tribe along with their royal ensembles as a mark of marriage. 

Similarly, a traditional headdress is worn by their spouse as a mark of marriage and status as the Royal Consort.

Looking closer at T’Chaka’s sash, there’s a cream, black and green pattern done down the middle, which looks a lot like the colour palette of the River Tribe. (Below)

I think that could stand for the tribe of his father’s spouse, who may have come from the river tribe. In addition, I believe that T’Challa’s clean suit look with with no extra accessories would change if he happened to get married.

I don’t know if that will ever happen now in the movies, but it would have been awesome to see T’Challa and Nakia’s wedding and a ceremony where they get dressed up as a married couple for the first time.

I’m imagining T’Challa in his sash with the River Tribe’s colours (Cream, Green and minimal black), embroidered cowries and a purple/gold pattern down the middle (for his mother). And then Nakia wearing a green gown and embroidered cowries with her headdress.

Damn I really wish I had that scene and I’m sad now.

Also thinking of the music that might have been included. With drums and singing and all.

NOOOO

STOP

NO.

Can we appreciate the moments with Ramonda and Shuri?

“Shuri!”

“Sorry, Mother!”

The scene at Warrior Falls when Shuri trolled the challenge only to announce she was ready to go home because her corset was uncomfortable and Ramonda pinched her.

“First Baba, and now my brother. Mama, we didn’t even get to bury him.”

“Shh…”

Ramonda saying, “Shuri”, then kind of nudging her back when the Jabari encircled them.  

ace people are queer as hell and must always be welcome in the community.

Imagine people telling you you're weird for not having sexual or romantic attraction... In my opinion, that's just as bad as people telling you you are perverted for loving your own gender.

don’t make me tap the sign…

Gabourey Sidibe - Portrait by Sam Spratt

A while back, I asked Gabby to come to my studio. Work immediately began and the beginnings of several sketches and pieces started to come together, but I didn’t want to rush the main painting so I shelved it while the usual pattern of clients interrupting personal work took over. Many paintings never get finished or see the light of day, both personal and professional, but Gabby was special. I wrote these notes back during her visit:

Her time in my studio was mostly light, filled with her bubbly energy as we cracked open some beers, exchanged embarrassing drinking stories, taking group photos as if we’d known each other for more than the actual hour we had, and her trying to convince me that she has an actual medical condition where she finds everything adorable. You’d be fooled too if you were lied to by an Oscar-nominated actress with her talent. But when I asked her, stripped of any pretension, that if I were to paint her, how she’d like to be portrayed, she said “I don’t really care about how I’m portrayed” and then she paused and continued “I guess … did you ever watch the show Community? Ya know how the school’s mascot is the human being? I mean, I don’t want to be a grey faceless spandex blob like that, but I’d like to just be a human being. Not someone’s message or idea of what I stand for because of what I look like, just a human, how you’d paint me if I were anyone else".

we don’t appreciate T’Challa’s back enough.
