It’s people on Shuri Udaku’s internet who really think Shades DREADED Mariah’s… anything. I can’t relate. That man climbed into her personal space at every opportune moment.
Shades been sweating Mariah from moment he laid eyes on her. To the point she actually called him out about his thirst. Or do they not realize what that exchange meant when she asked Cornell , ‘Does your guard need a drink of water?’
And you’re right he almost always initiated physical contact. Intent on making sure she wasn’t distancing herself physically or emotionally.
This man has done everything but literally drool on her and people still convince themselves he was not interested in her sexually.
i don’t know the original context, but i do know there’s a significant number of people who have a gut-level negative reaction to m/f femdom or anything like it–the other side of the coin of the gut-level positive reaction society trains us to have to m/f relationships where the sexual and/or emotional power dynamic goes the other way–and “compliment” the man by imagining he has the “right” feelings about it and refusing to see what’s actually going on
That may play into it, since she’s much more overtly sexual. I tend to think her age and complexion account for MOST of the problem, either separately or combined.
There are seriously dummies out there who ended this season thinking he wasn’t really into her? Dude was in love. He says it when he has no possible ulterior motive for doing so.
Btw can you imagine him at the store?? Getting some ties or his sunglasses. Can he get out of small talk and “would you like our rewards card?” Like how would that go i need to see this

How many times a day do you think Shades went down on Mariah?
What was their favorite position?
How often do you think they used condoms?
1- Yes, with conditions. He had to keep his hands to himself, or he couldn’t look away, or he had to be restrained/tied down, etc. She did it for herself, because she enjoys it, and it happened to be something that he received pleasure from.
2 – Yes. Bossy, bottom, murder bae definitely made sure he took care of Mariah in every way she wanted.
3 – First thing in the morning and the last thing he did at night, with the occasional reward in the office at Harlem’s paradise
4 – Oh god…
5 – Probably a lot in the beginning, she didn’t trust him. Later in season 2? Not at all. I’m sure there was a lot of spontaneous fucking.
Total agreement! I interpret them in a femdom light and wanted to add my ideas to your take; not assuming you’re taking it that way! What you said just also fits with my preferences for the ship.
re: 1 & 2 – IMO the idea that being in charge would mean foregoing doing things she likes would (rightfully) annoy Mariah if anyone dared suggest it to her. There is nothing inherently submissive about blowing someone or having them fuck you. I think we can see how this works in other parts of their life: Shades is happy to take care of her without ever thinking it means he’s in charge of her or controls her. So, they have both the full range of sexual pleasure and the emotional support that in the worst, patriarchy damaged versions of femdom women aren’t allowed because somehow it’s “weak.” /eyeroll/
3 – I actually headcanon her with a special thing for fingerfucking, but yeah. I could see cunnilingus being a pretty frequent part of their day.
4 – I think his favorite position is doing whatever she wants because it feels so good to be wanted like that and she… idk, maybe caught somewhere between being fucked just right and riding his face, depending on whether she wants to just lie back and enjoy or do the work
5 – Yeah. Condoms for a while. Then she told him he was going to get tested for EVERYTHING, so he was, and when he got his clean bill of health she tossed the condoms and took him whenever she wanted. Really likes the feel of him. I loved the way Alfre played the scene where Mariah just eases down on top of him like she owns him… delicious.
