no thoughts just this 😵‍💫

Hi, sorry to bug you again, after revealing he’s mutant and the reaction she gave, are you using or like taking some parts from the X-men films? Like the seriousness and basically danger that a mutant has to go through like in the films/comics?

Just wondering since MCU is barely heading towards that direction in revealing mutants.

I honestly wouldn’t want to be a mutant after watching all of X-men films. Especially after days of future past 🫡 I’m good!

Not a bother at all!!!

I love answering questions, thank you for reaching out!

That's 100% the direction I'm going with. He's someone that's really well informed about the surface world and he most likely has an idea of the struggles mutants have faced but he's never felt a connection to someone else like that before and he wants to get down to the why. How is never as important as why.

The mutants in this little universe have been through a lot in secret, while the rest of the world is none the wiser. As the chapters progress, we will see just to what exactly our reader is running from.

But honestly, I'm with you. They suffer too much. We must protect all mutants!

Thank you again for your questions! 💙

Hello dear! Just wanted to say that you're wonderful and your writing is amazing! Not all the people can write such beautiful stories. The way they talk and start to begin feelings for each other is really lovely!

I'm Asian and English is not my first language but I understand most of it and I'm glad that you put a translate for some parts. This language is really beautiful and I wish I could understand it but it's really difficult for me because of where I live ( I learned five words from reading some fics which I'm glad.)

Anyway, sorry for talking too much! Just wanted to thank you and can't wait for more parts of your fic!♥️

Hello, my lovely friend!

I am so sorry it has taken me so long to respond but thank you so much for your kind words, truly <3

English is not my first language either so I completely understand how you are feeling but you are doing amazing! Finding things you are passionate for really help when learning a new language (TV shows and books helped me so much). I'm so happy that you have enjoyed what was written for Namor so far -- there is more to come, I promise!

And please, don't apologize! I appreciate your message! Talk as much as you'd like! Hope you're doing well!

I want that talokan city scene sequence ingrained in my brain forever because my body was levitating when that part came out

Here's a recent commission for a Wakanda Forever castmember, featuring Talocan warriors and Namor!

Josué Maychi on teaching Maya to the Wakanda Forever cast and a word play in one of Namor's lines.

The actor told us about a word play that only Maya speakers can understand. ---spoiler ahead--- “There is a phrase that Namor says that I had to translate that goes: 'Máansa'ab u nej miis tin wich' which in Spanish literally means 'They passed the cat's tail in front of my face with the hope of an alliance'. If you see cats, jaguars or panthers wag their tails when they go hunting because it is a way of hypnotizing their prey, so that image is what happened to Namor, that someone did that to him with their tail. I proposed it to the director and he loved it, because it refers to the panther that warned Namor, ” he said. Josué Maychi told us that in English the phrase was translated as: "I was blinded with the hope of an alliance", which in Maya metaphorically means that someone was deceived, since in Spanish or English it is not literal.

Compillation of Namor's lines in Yucatec Mayan In the interview for Cultura Colectiva, Josué Maychi, who plays the shaman in Black Panther : Wakanda Forever, spoke about his experience in the film in which at the same time, he collaborated as the Yucatec Maya coach for Mabel Cadena and Tenoch Huerta, every day for a period of seven months. “No one knew anything about Maya and my first approach with the actors was to ask them if they could pronounce the consonants and sounds that do not exist in Spanish, English or other languages, and I was very happy to discover that they could pronounce them” he commented.

How was the process of teaching Maya? “We had sessions by Zoom and then in Atlantla we had scheduled meetings because I needed to listen to them. The first thing I taught them was the sound of the words, because in Maya there are five types of vowels that have to do with time, and if if they prolongued (a vowel) it can mean one thing or another. I asked them to imagine their lines as a melody and also gave them recorded audios to listen to, read and even write. For example, Mabel created her own way of writing, she created her own writing to have a personal approach to the language, ” he said.

Do you remember any funny anecdote? “There is a phrase that we say in the film that is Líik’ik Talokan, (there's Wakanda Forever) which is said by the people of Wakanda. Once, Álex Livinalli wrote to me and asked what we could say for the world we were creating, about the new universe and in Maya. I thought about it and thought it might be that phrase, which means something like 'Long live Talokan' or 'Rise Talokan'. I proposed it to them, they proposed it to the production, they loved it and it was integrated into the script, ” he said. Finally, the actor pointed out that the representation of indigenous languages ​​IS very important to him and mentioned that there are Mayan people who have proudly written him messages of gratitude, since they understood what they saw on the big screen.

Heyo I just wanted to ask if you’ve been doing ok recently? Just haven’t seen you post much lately and I’m so sorry if you’ve just been busy and if so ignore this😅

Thank you so much to everyone that had taken the time to reach out during my absence! I did not expect to have been gone for so long and I truly apologize to everyone who's been waiting so long for more Namor!

Life got in the way (as it tends to do in the worse of ways, sometimes) but now I have the time to come back fully and write. I can't wait to catch up on all that's happened since!

Once again, thank you lovely souls for caring. It meant so much to see your messages. <3

friendly reminder that while it's totally fine to be frustrated by this as fans, do not lose sight of why these actors (and writers) are going on strike in the first place.

be frustrated, but at the studio heads who actually deserve it, not at the actors for going on strike

This works with my story too well 🤣🤣🤣

we finally found it folks, the biggest benefit to being a marine biologist
