I just want to say this, and yes, you know who you are:
Don't use Tenoch's allegations as a way to advance your shipping or character bias. Do not take advantage of a serious, divisive, and delicate case to claim moral superiority in fandom. Do not use this as your fandom whacking stick or fandom cancelation plug.
I am starting to notice anti-nashuri or Namor haters conflating fictional work and the character Namor with Tenoch Huerta in an asinine hope to:
A) carve remaining fans out as "problematic"
B) find an insidious way to justify their controlling, immature desire to have fans stop producing work they always had a hate for
Separate the actor and reality from the character and fiction, first and foremost. That's your problem now.
Who cares if there is a Nashuri week (which has been in progress before the allegations)? Who cares if fans still leave their stories up? Who cares if people still like Namor or Nashuri? Who cares if people still make Nashuri, Namor, or just Namor + Shuri edits? Who cares if some people still write and draw art of Namor rooted in their appreciation for Ryan Coogler and Joe Robert Cole's writing? No one sane should or would care. It's not "daring to have a nerve" or problematic. It isn't immediately them "defending" Tenoch.
As long as that's just what it is, fans can still be fans. Fans can still appreciate the characters and their relationships. Fans can still have escapism. Fans can still be happy and produce content that makes them happy. You have no right to impede on that, but you do have the right to feel uncomfortable or not want it on your feed. If that's the case, act accordingly: block, mute, press "uninterested," and curate your space. Not run and post these fake ass high and mighty spiels where you clearly concern yourself more with fandom (reporting fanart? Be for real) than the actual situation, trying to rile up a crowd and drum up negativity.
I have seen shaken fans of nashuri or Namor who have been victims of sexual violence and assault catching strays.
I have seen vulturish anti-Namor or anti-nashuri fans immediately taking this news as, "So this means you should finally stop doodling and liking a pairing/character I do not!"
I have seen gross anti-fans rub it in fans' faces, being the awful bearer of bad news and "watch dogs" hoping to gleefully observe them crumble.
I have seen immature Shuri (and other variants) stans who had it out for Namor or nashuri since day one, using this as a way to justify their hate and hateful behavior. It's almost as though they were waiting for something, anything like this to make a chess move (some of them admitting as much).
Do you know how manipulative, deceitful, and twisted this all is?
This isn't even accounting for the fact that Tenoch's situation is a difficult one to pinpoint as the story progressed, to say the very least. You'd know that if you truly gave a damn and followed the story or at the very least alleged victim. It's shrouded in specifics and unwinding stories.
There is ample information that later emerged and details (from Mexican politics to confirmed lies) that makes this case a very scary gray. I have seen many nashuri and Namor fans express dismay and sorrow over the news. People immediately weighed into the alleged victim's testimony and had serious conversations about where they wanted to go from there. Some pulled back their Namor content out of shock. People were torn and took this very seriously with a "blackout" period. It was only until further information that complicated everything came out that some decided to take different positions, while others still wanted to remain cautious and neutral, but still enjoy the little fandom haven they curated with their friends.
This is no light matter. There are real people and their livelihoods, lives on the line. People were distraught and, unlike most of these fake ass pearl grippers posting memes in the same breath, made an effort to initially follow the alleged victim (ready to renounce Tenoch) and dig for the truth. Fans even stressed to take the victims' words into consideration, rather than being blinded by celebrity worship.
So... To see anti-fans being utterly disingenuous and trying to villify a whole group whose crime is just liking a normal fictional property is insane. It's gross. It's sick. It's malicious. It's low.
It makes me livid, and I hope you reap what you sow. I am five seconds away from listing names and putting them on blast for this outrageous (continous) behavior. Someone liking a character Tenoch played or said character being shipped with another should be the least of your problem.

I see you (Part 2)
Namor x Atlantean/Human Reader
Plot: You accept the stranger's offer and experience the depths of power that you never had before.
A/N: Back by popular demand! Thankfully I had the brain cells to write this. This is part 2 of <I see you> but I think it could be read stand-alone as well! Again, hope you enjoy it and really appreciate the feedback! Use of Y/N.
Genre: PG-13 (Mentions of blood, violence)
"Will you join me?"
With each step you took, you relished in the scent of the dead bodies littered around the Conservatory of Posideonsis. You find yourself lingering in front of the mural that depicted the heroics of Atlantis' hero. You could gag.
Raising a hilt, you send a blast into the wall, shattering the intricate art into nothing but rubble. A hand is on your shoulder, grounding you back to the present.
"Have you got the vibranium?"
"My people have secured it, thanks to you." Namor gives a fleeting glance around the Conservatory and takes in your tense posture. Never make a woman angry.
A groan could be heard nearby under the collapsed pillar. A body moves.
"Is this how you betray your King?" The scientist coughs out weakly. You gave him a scathing glare, bending down to his eye level.
"Arthur Curry is not my king."
The water construct on your hilt takes the shape of a sword, making clean work of the scientist. Blood splatters diagonally on your face and suddenly you look almost feral to Namor. He can't help but swell with pride at your following words.
"I have a new king."
You don't bother to clean the blood on your weapon, for they serve as a reminder of your liberation. Your salvation. As if the dead could still feel, you pry the weapon from his hand.
"I'm sorry it had to turn out this way Vulko, my comrade. But if Arthur Curry continues to side with the surface world, Atlantis will pay for it in blood."
You leave what was your past behind, swimming together in silence with Namor to the royal chambers.
"You do not mourn?"
"They had their chance and wasted my sympathy." You spat. "You have shown me a greater purpose, my king."
"Stop!"
A group of Atlantean guards intercepts the two of you, spears meant to force one backward.
"Put down your weapons intruder!"
Even now, Atlantis scorned you for your mixed heritage and was eager to blame you.
Blocking you from their vision, Namor shoots his own spear with ease, piercing through the armor of the mighty Atlantean army. Blood floating in the water, he removes his weapon.
"Our fight is in there." He points to the oak doors that led to the chambers. "I would hate to see you get hurt before we even start." Without another word, he leaves you trailing behind feeling rather perplexed.
You can't seem to bring yourself to open those doors. Wordlessly holding your hand in his, he pushes through the broken defense, refusing to cower under the presence of the two Aquaman standing tall and mighty.
"Y/N of Shayeris, you must understand that you are committing high treason. I urge you to stand down and we can resolve this peacefully with you and Talokan."
Your blood boils at the Leaguer’s patronizing words. Namor steps back, waiting to watch the verbal sparring match with much interest.
You can hold your own fort.

In Mourning
Namor x Reader
Plot: An unexpected encounter. A strong will to protect each other. A desire to seek vengeance for your death.
Genre: PG-13 (Angst - plot already says it all)
A/N: The number of times I wrote and re-wrote this? This a short piece but feedback is always appreciated! I'm sorry for the angst in advance.😅 Italics is flashbacks!
The steady trickle of water fills the silence in his chambers. A cup of tea sits on the dressing table. Steam rising, he takes a gentle blow before putting his lips on its edge.
3 years ago, the Baltic Ocean
"K'uk'ulkan. A stranger roams our waters, should we not stop them?"
Namor is curious. Which human would dare to be lost in such a wide ocean? He travels out into the waters and he comes to a stop at the sight of a floating figure.
"Take them back!" He demands the Talokan warriors.
Days passed and the stranger finally woke. Blinking her eyes blearily, she almost falls out of bed at the sight of his people. Namor excuses his people and he sits at the edge of the bed where she watches him warily.
"Am I... in Talokan?"
There was no hiding from this intelligent woman. So he guides her around. For someone from the surface world, you were so courageous and unafraid.
To return the kindness of the King and his people, you tell him your purpose. You are a scientist from the surface world, fighting to protect and conserve the natural environment.
But with recent events and more metahumans coming out in the open, governments around the world had strong reason to believe that there was an underwater civilization. You wanted to do something, so you had to find it first.
"As you have saved me, it is only right that I do something in return for you and your people. You have my word."
All he wants to do is to fall into a deep slumber. It seems that everyone, everything is against him tonight as the soothing music of nature has now turned into a discordant mess.
It went all so terribly wrong.
He is no longer in the present. He is now in the thick of it. He sees her fighting but it was a stark reminder of how human she was compared to him.
6 months ago, the Atlantic Sea
"This weapon isn't a usual fishing trap." You navigate your way around the ocean floor. "Someone probably set this piece of contraption up in hopes of a big catch." You frown at the thought of government operatives carrying out secret operations to uncover hidden civilizations like Talokan for their own gain.
"I can take it back to the lab, examine it and find out who's responsible for this. "You see the concern etched on his face.
"I won't out you or your people. I promise."
"I'm not worried about that, it is these surface dwellers that you speak of," Namor tells you. "They do not seem to be ordinary. I've seen them up close. They have evil intentions."
"I can take care of myself." You swim to him in your suit. "And if your people are hurt, I won't stand for it. If someone is out to expose Talokan, they need to be stopped."
Just then, a slight tremor could be felt. Sea life swimming away, you shared a look of concern with the King. He is about to ascend to the surface but you put a hand against his chest. You shake your head.
"It's a trap."
"I cannot let you go out there alone."
You cut the weapon loose from the ocean floor, passing it to him. "This is all the proof that you need."
He watches you helplessly as you swim upwards. He sees you putting your hands up in surrender. Words are exchanged between you and the army. Then-

Close Contact
Frank Castle x Reader
A/N: Frank and Reader are partners in this! An interesting take in Bed sharing AU? Hope y’all will like it and feedback is always appreciated!
Genre: PG-13, Fluff and Angst.
Notes: Happy 1.2k followers @wint3r-h3art! Been truly blessed to have known you and thank you for the challenge!
2300hrs,
‘Frank, slow down. My leg can’t keep up.’ You tell him for what you believe to be the umpteenth time.
Your partner merely grunts but he makes an effort to minimize his strides. You’re not an idiot. You know he’s pissed off. Perhaps if you were in his shoes, you would be too.
For months, the two of you were chasing every lead on the notorious Kingpin, pulling all stops to even get a whiff of his trace.
Finally, Frank had tracked him down to Macau with rumors of a booming drug trade that involved very dubious clientele.
Everything was going well. Too well.
Firefight happening in split seconds, you raced to rescue a young woman who was about to be caught in the rain of bullets being exchanged.
Pushing her out of the way, you lose sight of the enemy. That’s how you earned two bullets - one in your leg and one at your side.
Breathing heavily, you focus all your energy to stay conscious. It definitely helped to push the unpleasant emotions you had, even if it was just temporary.
Reaching the motel, Frank sets you down gently at the side of the staircase, gruffly instructing you to stay put while he gets a room.
Leaving you under the flickering lights, your mind is allowed to run freely, wondering what went wrong. You knew you were good at your job, so why did it feel like you were a nuisance?
As the rain starts to fall, so do your tears. You were sick of being at the receiving end of such injustice. Impulsiveness overtaking you, you push yourself up, hobbling away from the motel. No way you were going to be under the radar of Frank’s silent glares.
The neon lights from the signboard are about to blind your vision. It probably doesn’t matter as you walk aimlessly, with no destination in sight.
You don’t know how long you have been away from home carrying out multiple back to back missions. All you knew is that you were starting to become very tired.
Texas. Cuba. India. Vietnam. Macau.
You didn’t know it was possible to be ignored across continents.
Caught up in your thoughts, you fail to see an oncoming light from a car. Before you can react, a rough hand grabs you by the wrist, pulling you towards them.
Frank.
‘I told you to wait for me right? Why don’t you ever listen?’
That broke something in you. Pushing him away with your free hand, you gave him a hard stare.
‘Leave me alone Castle. Since that’s what you always do.’ Turning away, you attempt to continue walking but without much success.
A sharp pain attacks your side, throwing you off balance. The street starts to dissolve and the artificial lights fade into darkness.
The last thing you hear is Frank calling out for your name.
***
Regaining consciousness, the dull pain brings you back to your senses.

My #1 post of 2022
I see you
Namor x Atlantean/Human Reader
Plot: You struggle to be heard from the worlds that you call home. A stranger comes to change that with a tempting proposition.
Genre: PG-13, (One use of Y/N)
A/N: No spoilers here but I came out absolutely loving this man!Please give feedback as it's appreciated greatly!
Stepping out of the building, you take a deep sigh.
Once again, you weren't taken seriously. You knew that you were different - an individual unable to fully identify with one place, or maybe because you were surrounded by a group of people who were only concerned about short-term economic gains. Whatever it was, you were thoroughly humiliated.
Screaming in frustration, you chucked your research into a bin.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you."
"Oh god!" You jumped a few steps backward, frantically looking for the source. Taking out your hilts from your pockets, you quickly activate the water bearers - a gift from your homeland to protect you on land.
"Show yourself! I'm not going to say it again!"
The figure steps out into the dark, hands raised at chest level as if to reassure you that they weren't a threat.
"I don't understand why you would waste your energy and time on egoistic surface dwellers who only seek to benefit themselves." The mystery man has a piercing gaze. You only gripped your weapons tighter. If anything, Atlantis has taught you to fear no one.
"Who are you and what's your purpose."
The man almost seems amused at your defensiveness. "I see you are a woman that skips the pleasantries. Then again, I expected as much."
You advanced a step forward, wordlessly demanding for him to speak.
"My people call me K'uk'ulkan," he trails off, "but my enemies call me Namor." He has now stepped into your vision, the soft lights from the street lamp illuminating his sharp features. He moves a step forward.
"Don't move! Or I'll fry your brains, I swear on it!"
He chuckles, coming to a stop. "I don't doubt that Atlantean."
"How? You were just a-"
"Myth? I can assure you that my people and I are very real. And very threatened by the surface world. So I'll make my point. But I would appreciate it if you lower your weapon."
Deactivating your bearers, he takes this as a sign to speak.
"Ever since Wakanda came out to the rest of the world, Talokan is at risk from surface dweller activity."
You wince, knowing all too well where this was going.
"They refuse to answer for their actions, even when my people are sick, ill, and on the verge of dying!"
"You have Atlantis'- my word that we will work to come to an agreement." Even then, you no longer trusted the words that came out of your own mouth.
"An agreement will not suffice. It will no longer solve what they have done to us." Namor sneers. He sees your resolve weaken for a second and pounces on it.
"Chief scientist of Atlantis. What have your people done for you?"
"You don't get to say that."
Ignoring your weak threat, he continues. "King Orin of Posideonis. How is he to be a beacon of hope when his mind is split between the two worlds! How ignored you must have felt when you tried to warn him of the atrocities of the surface. You thought you could find comfort in someone so similar to you. What good is it if you can't execute the power that you were meant to hold?"
