in this great future you can't forget your past (no woman, no cry)

SPOILERS for BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVERDespite evidence of the wider universe and all the cosmic, mystical and mind bending horrors and wonders, Shuri did not believe in Bast or the ancestral plane. Did not believe in a higher power.As a scientist, everything could be explained. As a daughter and sister, why would she believe in the existence of Bast? If Bast existed, how could Bast forsake her family? How could their Gods allow for her world to come burning down, first with Kilmonger. Then, Thanos. And of more recent, Namor. Bast and her ancestors must be laughing at her, as she stares back at her 18 year old body. She had gone to sleep in Haiti and had woken up back in Wakanda, multiple years in the past. Having watched all those silly American movies about time travel, Shuri must tread carefully if she is to save her loved ones and her people.

Heyyyyyyy. So I’m back on my bullshit again and have started a new fanfic because guess what’s my new hyperfixation? You guessed it! It’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and I am in love with Ryan Coogler’s storytelling and all the actors & actresses who gave such stunning performances. However, as it tends to be a trend with my fics, I’m doing another time travel AU! because there’s so much angst potential with Shuri. Like my woman, Shuri has lost everything and it was so brave to allow her to be a protagonist that you weren’t sure you wanted to root for. Her turn towards vengeance and her parallel journey with T’Challa was chef’s kiss. Letitia Wright knocked it out of the park with her performance and no one can forget Angela Bassett’s Oscar worthy performance. This fic has parallels and is inspired by one of my favorite Arrow time travel fics called, “To Embrace” by Kiko-Butt. It’s a time travel Thea Queen fic where she is transported to her old body. It’s unfinished but still one of my favorites. Here’s the link if you guys want to check it out: To EmbraceI recently found out that I most likely have ADHD which means I tend to start new things and then move on to the next hyperfixation/project after I get bored and/or overwhelmed. So . . . I make no promises. I will probably go back to finish some of my other works . . . probably. I still have plans to finish some of my bigger projects.
