While the Defenders were blowing up Midland Circle, Shades was blowing up Mariah’s midland circle 👀
And they made a show about the wrong one.
You ain’t wrong…
I would’ve loved a show just about the marvel villains scheming together. Mariah and Fisk and whatever Sigourney Weaver’s character’s name was. Even a quick cartoon short, where they are in a cabal for control of the city but they’re always sabotaging each other.
Alexandra was such a bitch, she and Mariah could have and should have been catty together. I wish that happened. Also Mariah and Madame Gao.
Plus I want Mariah and Fisk interactions and verbal sparring so badly it’s not even funny.
You already have at least ¾ being involved in politics/city planning/social politics so that’s that right there.
S1 Is drudgery bc the titular character is made of corn and outdaded respectability politics one-liners. But I watch for the otp, #ShadyMariah and for Diamondback and Cottonmouth.
But drudgery binging demands breaks.
Black Lightning is way better when it comes to the titular character. You can tell he actually cares.
And I feel like I could go on a whole rant on what’s wrong with Luke Cage (show and character). I love the show, and it’s great, but it’s got some problems.
Yeah I think the music esp in s1 covered a lot of them up in addition to some Stella performances from supporting staff (villains), but the main cast of characters were written badly semi regularly.
I spend most of my time for scenes with [character] during S1 glancing at my phone tbqh
daaaaang, never expected I’d end up shipping Mariah and Shades this much!

I really love the way they did this scene. His black suit, her white dress, how the lighting outlines both of them, way all the dialogue echoed through the building…
Can some draw either Shades and Mariah or Shades, Mariah and Che all watching this is Us with Shades in the middle crying and her/them passing him napkins
I’m not doing it because I can’t draw worth shit but I’m commissioning my friend @kyleraynxr to do it
