at last: part one

Summary: "Wasn’t the whole point of this that Sarah told you over a year ago she wanted to get married?" says Sam.

Or, Bucky finally proposes. Well -- he's planning on it, anyway. He's just gotta field all these phonecalls first.

The whole business of it is his own fault. Sam calls to ask him well, have you figured it out maybe once every two days since that day Sheira’s birthday party happened, when Bucky had pulled him aside while everyone was busy with the pinata. 

Or. Well. Sam claims he’s calling for other things, even just calling to check in as any loving brother might, and that also happens to be on his mind, you know, why not just ask? But Bucky knows better. Sam calls specifically to ask. This would be manageable on its own, only then Yelena figures it out over text, because she’s a menace. It’s not long after that that Kate is in the loop as well. They do a job – Bucky is retired, officially, so they really does mean the others; he spends his time working afternoon dock shifts with Lou and learning the family lobster mac recipe – but anyway, they do a job and within twelve hours he gets two texts congratulations! from Layla and Steven, one cryptic welcome to the club from Marc and a fucking Signal call from Russia. That, too, is Bucky’s own fault. Why he ever installed the app is beyond him.

“Is double-ways encrypted and not owned by Facebook,” Yelena says blithely, when he brings this up, in the immediate, kind-of-irate-because-she’s-the-only-way-they’d-know follow-up phone call. “Very hard to hack or whatever. You put it to the hack test?”

Bucky begrudgingly admits he did.  

“It could be better,” he grunts, noncommittal.

“Ha,” Yelena says, a little triumphantly. “You are more paranoid than I am, so I win. What was I supposed to do, not tell Alexei? I think he would cry if you got married and he hear after the fact, Bucky Barnes. He still thinks you’re some kind of real Russian.”

Xhosa translations

I remember mentioning helping with those, so this is me trying. It's so hard reading these amazing stories and then in the middle of the journey being accidentally sworn at. Sometimes translation engines don't do the best job at translating.

So this is me trying to help those who will take the help. I'll write down the most common mistranslations I stumble upon ever so often.

Because most if not all the times some words in Xhosa do not exist in English and visa versa, or there's no translation that would make sense I'm offering some alternatives.

English to Xhosa translation of words, phrases

Greetings - Molo (singular) Molweni (plural)

How are you - Unjani (singular) Ninjani (plural)

My - yami, wami

Baby - Bhabha, Sthandwa

A baby - Usana

My love - Sthandwa sami, Bambo'lwami

Wife - Mfazi

Bride - Umtshakazi (singular) and abatshakazi (plural )

Husband - Myeni

King - Kumkani

Queen - Kumkanikazi

Prince - Nkosana

Princess - Nkosazana

Are you okay? - Uphilile?.

What's wrong? - Yintoni/Intoni ingxakhi

You're a lair - Uli menemene.

You're lying - Uyaxoka

How - Njani

Now - Ngoku

Your majesty - Ngangamsha

My girl - Ntomb'am

Girl - intombi, intombazana (singular) Izintombi, amantombazana (plural)

Boy - ikhwenkwe (singular) amakhwenkwe (plural)

Mother - Mama

Father - Baba, Tata

Aunt - Makazi

Uncle - Malume

Your beauty renders me speechless - Ubuhle bakho bundigqiba amazwi

-

This will be all for now. I can't think of any more, these were just the basics and ones I see in most stories. Feel free to add phrases or sentences for me to translate for you. Reblog and share if you found this helpful. Thanks. Bye!

Cool things i learned abt the Dora Milaje from the dora milaje training manual

this is canon to the 616 and comics, not the MCU, but it was cool to learn about and definitely impacts my canon compliant AU fic. So it might be useful to others. Its not the full book, not even a chapters worth of info, but if you were considering getting it, do so. It made me look at wakanda forever differently, too.

Joining

they accept women from all 5 tribes (17 in the comics) between the ages of 15-20 to become Dora

They have to bring a gift and be accepted by Bast to begin training

If accepted they are called Kanwata and the process takes 4 years to complete.

Upon initiation they go through an ori ceremony where their heads are shaved and they received their first ritual tattoo. They receive another tattoo each year, an ink with vibranium, until the second and final ori ceremony where they receive the final tattoo after their acceptance from Bast.

Training

They have to learn 7 of 10 languages: Wakandan, Xhosa, Hausa, Arabic, Yoruba, English, Igbo, Mandarin, Swahili, and Korean. They have 9 additional elective languages they can learn, especially to connect to the diaspora and blend in: cantonese, Hebrew, Japanese, French, Farsi, Spanish, Amharic, and Portuguese. They get to conversation and translation in the following years.

In the first year they must learn hand to hand combat in the forms of Ngolo, Laamb, Silat, Muay Thai, Musangwe, and Krav Maga. Once the required mastery has been met they add weapons in the second year. The Dora are considered "living weapons".

In the comic verse, they have a mystical and supernatural combat section. The kanwata training is in 3 pillars: physical, mental, and spiritual/herbal. They study vibranium application and properties as well as herbal practices like identifying plants for food and medicinal purposes.

Essentially, Dora are super smart and well trained so it takes a unique situation for them to be unprepared lol. There is even more that goes into what was listed above.

Structure

The DM have 3 major units: Guard Units, Airborne Units, and Support Staff Units. This includes Domestic, international, and Off world teams in the comics.

Dora can be broken into units, squads, or teams (helpful when trying to name group that they might be on a mission in)

They are all trained in combat and munitions (weapons) but some units are researchers, mechanics, pilots, healers, or apart of a secret division (like the cia) but no one knows who is in that secret division

Kanwata are the trainees, the 3rd and 4th years apprentice with Iya Dora and/or train younger Kanwata.

Ile Dora Milaje is what the group of active, graduated, and fully initiated Dora are called.

Iya Dora is the council that confers with wakandan leadership (Taifa Ngao, the council of elders), determines the graduation passage of kanwata, and governs the active duty, dismissal or removal from Dora ranks. There are Dora that have been re-instated after dismissal.

There are some cool excerpts if you clicked the link below. I am tired of typing lol.

"Thank you, my love" - Ayo to Aneka

[theavengers]

We know what you whisper in your halls of leadership and in your military facilities. “The King is dead.” “The Black Panther is gone.” “They have lost their protector.” “Now is our time... to strike.”

[livstarlight]
