Black Boss Lady & Right Hand Man






Black Boss Lady:
Too badass to be stopped by workplace discrimination
By the book hardass
Essentially a Respectable Good Person
Right Hand Man:
Goes along with the Lady's plan but has wildly divergent goals/priorities/agendas
Usually categorised as the cowboy, rogue or all-purpose crazy person
Not excellent at decision making when left alone
Is uniquely competent in some special way that compensates for their myriad flaws
Exists in two states at all times - Lady's greatest asset and Lady's riskiest liability
Personal life has gone off the rails in a serious way at least once
Will act out or straight up betray the Black Boss Lady at least once
Will readily admit that he "has issues"
Has a convoluted or mysterious backstory
Very flexible moral code.

The moment stretches out between them.
Seconds, barely, but it feels like days. Eons.
“What is it, Captain?” she murmurs, so soft it’s practically a whisper. Like she’s afraid of shattering this whatever that’s come between them.
He doesn’t know how long he stands there. Just watching her.
Getting so caught up in what he wants, no, damn near drowning in it. Letting it overwhelm him completely, so that he can forget, if just for a moment, that it’s not something he can ever have.
And then the moment ends. As it always had to, he supposes.
“Nothing, your majesty.” Steve manages to reply at last.
Indeed, he thinks to himself. Nothing at all.
–snippet from a prequel to Insatiable, probably

“So that’s it, huh? You think you can just waltz back here and I’ll take you back, no questions asked?”
She’s so angry she’s practically shaking where she stands, jaw hardened into a sharp line.
“No, Shuri.” he says simply. “I don’t expect you to forgive me.”
He dares to draw closer, then, and perhaps against her own will he can see her face soften, just the slightest bit.
“But I want to try,” he murmurs, “want to try to be worthy.”
(He hopes that’s enough to be a start.)

A concept : It’s been five years since Black Panther. Bucky has fully embraced his White Wolf mantle and it’s now customary for Shuri to greet him after his most dangerous missions. The two always indulge in shameless flirting in front of the Queen Mother.who can’t take this shit anymore, she’s too old for this

I am high-key convinced that Letitia Wright and Sebastian Stan have mutual crushes on each other and haven’t figured out what to do about it yet; this is the most Shuri and Bucky shit of all time. And I love it.
I’m going down with this ship and I have no regrets.

It’s deliciously ironic to me how producers swerved the iconic Batman x Catwoman romantic tension because of racism in the 1960s but we still got the superior ship in Joker x Catwoman. Look at them flaunting their brash villain fashion and malicious intent.

It's official. Namor is the newest member in the harem.
underwater earthquake
just a lil namor/shuri/bucky snippet in the works since it’s all but confirmed that namor will be the villain in bp2 :’))
premise: Namor brings the fight. But is Wakanda ready?
“Your weapons and technology will be no match for me, princess.”
Another beat, a pause. Bucky doesn’t miss the way the man’s eyes trace her form. He’s quick, yes, but hardly subtle in the way he looks at her. Bucky can’t help the twinge of ugly jealousy that flashes through his stomach at the sight, one that’s only exacerbated by the man’s next words, coming out low and laced with innuendo –
“That said, Shuri, I can’t say I wouldn’t enjoy seeing you try.”
Just like that, the air in the room shifts. Okoye tenses, the Dora behind her stiffen, and T’Challa looks nothing less than furious .
Bucky, for his part, has to take a slow, deep breath. Has to remind himself ease the sudden death grip he’s got on the knife strapped to his upper thigh, though Bast, taking it out is so damn tempting.
Shuri huffs angrily at the comment. Crosses her arms and dares to step closer still, just to make her next point overwhelmingly clear –
“ Namor. If this comes to a fight, I won’t be simply trying . I’ll win – and that’s a promise.”

This is actually really cute!
Chapter 4 of my Avengers One-Shots.
I haven’t posted a fic on Tumblr in ages. But I realized that none of my followers know that I’m a fic writer. So I decided to give it a try again. Anyway, enjoy.
T'Challa stormed into his sisters lab. Fists balled and practically radiating annoyance. His footsteps boomed and echoed throughout the high-ceilinged area with each step. “Shuri?!” He boomed.
“Yes brother" Shuri answered calmly. Ignoring his obvious frustration. Which only aggravated him further.
“What happened to the last slice of pizza?!”.
“I don’t know” Shuri replied nonchalantly shrugging her shoulders. Trying her best the conceal the mischievous smirk creeping onto her lips.
“I left for two seconds and it’s gone I-” T'Challa suddenly heard the ceiling creek above him.
“Not again” he grumbled under his breath with a sigh. Everything clicked. And he immediately knew damn well who the culprit was.
“He’s on the ceiling isn’t he?” T'Challa sighed, sinking his shoulders.
T'Challa looked up to see Peter upside down on the ceiling. Most importantly with his slice of pizza in his mouth.
“Peter! What the hell are you doing?!”.
“Nothing” Peter replied completely unfazed by this entire situation. While Shuri was laughing so hard that she had tears streaming down her face.
“Stealing my food and then climbing the onto the ceiling isn’t what I would classify as nothing” T'Challa yelled up to him.
“I doesn’t have you name on it. So I just took it” Peter smirked. Yeah T'Challa is the king of the most powerful country in the world. But to him he’s just an older brother. So he speaks to him as such.
T'Challa sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. “That still doesn’t explain- So you’re just eating on the ceiling now?“
"Yes”
“Why?”
“Because I’m Spider-Man” Peter replied in his dramatic ‘hero’ voice.

Black female characters on television shows always get unnecessary and relentless hate. And for the PETTIEST of reasons too. And more often than not, if you put a white female character in a storyline or predicament that the woc is in, all of a sudden there’s a 180° in audience feedback. I’m tired of it honestly, a lot of time these “stans” and their behavior can be so disgusting.
