Jen! Can I have E for extra info 🥹

And you know if I get a chance I'm going to ask about my fellow vegetarian M'Baku! Apart from eating carrots and hummus, what else are we getting up to?

Thank you, Elsie! A thousand kisses for you! This is, of course, M’Baku from [River Deep] Mountain High.

E - Extra info (any other fetishes? feet? leather? role playing? blood? fantasies that they might want to experience not on this list?)

What can we say about this man? This fucking beast of a man? To be honest I could write the whole A-Z, ya feel? So what can I say outside of all the other letters? Well start with he is obsessed with you, and I mean obsessed. You don’t quite realise how much this man, this leader, this King wants and needs you. And for that reason he loves that the way he dresses not only gives the pair of you easy access, but allows you to hold on when you’re trying to sneak in a quickie. The way your delicate fingers wrap around the leather straps that criss-cross his massive body emphasising the size difference between the pair of you. He’s a sucker for that size disparity. You are his delicate flower after all.

He also loves the simplicity of fucking you in his bed, illuminated only by the glow of the fire, watching the reflection of the flames in your eyes and seeing how your skin is brought to life by the light. It’s his one regret about having to move to the Birnin Zana - less fires needed.

But as for fantasies that you haven’t tried out yet? On the theme of clothing, you’ve taken on a lot of Wakandan traditional dress since your stay started, it’s only practical after all, especially when you were up in the mountains, but there is one outfit he is dying to see you  - and then fuck you - in. The regalia of a Queen. When If that day comes, how he’s going to hold his primal self back he doesn’t know. But even then, he will treat you, and your clothes with the deference you deserve.

[wakandamama]

M'Baku is a girl dad and you can't convince me otherwise. He's got to have atleast 4 daughters.

[thatmexisaurusrex]

Just Sam and Bucky, getting a surprise visit from M'Baku. M'Baku waxing poetic about his great feats as the new King of Wakanda. Sleeping on Sam and Bucky's couch for the night before leaving to head back to Birnin Zana in the morning.

[imperiuswrecked]

I have been thinking about the Jabari men, and from the two times we’ve seen them in the movies there are no women, is the Jabari Tribe a found family with Queer Men? Were they always like this?

BUT M’Baku mentions children, so he has kids! Bi/Pan KING. I wish to see little M’Baku kiddos on screen I demand it! Them and their queer uncles!

What if the Jabari Tribe was a group of Queer Men and Woman who were ostracized pre wakanda from other tribes but then joined in with Wakanda when it was formed but they kept to themselves like how the Lore goes in the first movie.

[tainoidiot]

So i have a black panther request, now king. M'baku has to spend more time in the golden city and decided to bring his wife along and everyone is surprised at how...petite, shy yet beautiful she is.

OH FUCK YEA. Spoiler warning! This is set after Wakanda Forever!

M'Baku x Petite!Reader

God he is so fine-

Being that the Wakandan Royal family spent next to no time getting to know the Jabari clan, when they learned of your existence it surprised the shit out of them.

"Wait wait wait... you are MARRIED?" Shuri yelled in confusion. M'baku looked at her, puzzled "Of course I am? What, you didn't know?" He asked her. Shuri shook her head, looking at a now giggling Okoye. "What? I knew. It is my job!" She shrugged. Shuri pouted "Nobody tells me anything.."

With that out of the way, everyone wants to meet you. They're all excited to host you and your husband at the palace. Shuri is pretty much only hosting because "Who would marry an oaf like him?" She's just curious.

When you and your husband arrive at the Wakandan palace, Shuri's eyes turn massive as she looks at you.

M'baku has dressed you in the finest pelts he could get from his hunts, making sure you were both warm and comfortable. Despite being a hard-ass, he was a sweet heart to you. You can't ask for a more loving husband.

But that's not what surprises everyone. Despite hearing about you, nobody had actually SEEN you. And you're so... small?

Not like it's a bad thing. They just expected someone similar in stature to M'Baku. Everyone begins to introduce themselves to you, but you keep it short and simple. Odd, knowing M'Baku's personality.

you're smaller, shy, and on the quiet side. I suppose opposites truly do attract.

"Okay, I have to ask. What sparked you to court.. this man?" Shuri asked curiously, emphasis on this. All you could do was shrug. After explaining how the two of you met, it made sense. A match made by the ancestors, truly!

I know what this man's

favorite fictional monster is:

[mickimomo]

Time Machine - Attuma x Okoye

I figured I'd write out my headcanon since you peeps liked it so much. 🤣

Enjoy

Today was the day. W'Kabi was finally being released from exile out of the kindness of council's heart.

M'Baku was apprehensive, but figured the man would be too powerless to cause any issues for the time being.

The last thing he expected to see, however, was a tipsy W'Kabi singing at the top of his lungs at 4 in the morning.

"Glory to Hanuman." He huffed as he approached the small crowd of people standing around Okoye and Attuma's home that sat on the edge of the Border Tribe. "What is he doing?" He groaned as he watched W'Kabi sing slightly off-key.

"One! I wish I never fell in love!" He shouted before holding up two fingers. "Two, I wish I never fell for you!" He dropped to his knees. "Oh, three! If I just had one more wish, I'd go back and do it all over again. If I had a time machine-"

Aneka chuckled as she watched W'Kabi spin around like he was Usher before he began to do a drunk moonwalk as he bellowed the chorus of the song. "I heard that someone told him Okoye had gotten married."

"I hope he does not think he has a chance." M'Baku groaned.

"I think the liquor gave him courage."

"If he continues, the bald headed demon will release her shark."

Aneka shrugged. "I'm hoping I get to see that."

He arched a brow. "Are you recording?"

"I am."

The regent king watched Okoye open her window while dawning a robe. "W'Kabi. Go home!"

"You are my home!"

"We're divorced! Move on!"

"How could you move on!?" He sobbed. "We had something special!"

"You did not care when you betrayed Wakanda!"

"I betrayed Wakanda for you!" He snapped. "For us!"

"We are not doing this again!" She snapped. "I'm giving you five seconds to leave or I will come through this window and end you with my spear!"

"Okoye please!"

"FIVE."

M'Baku blinked before grabbing an abandoned chair to sit on. "Count me in."

"FOUR."

Aneka snickered as she watched him yank a carrot out of his pocket to munch on before offering a banana.

"Thanks." She hummed before she began to eat.

"THREE."

"What's going on!?" Ayo frowned as she approached with a few members of the Dora Milaje.

"W'Kabi is about to get his ass beat." Aneka answered her wife as she took a bite of her banana. "Want a bite?"

"No."

"TWO."

"Why are you two just sitting here eating and watching?" She frowned.

"I wanna see Attuma beat his ass." Aneka shrugged.

"And I'm not getting punched again." M'Baku huffed.

Ayo shook her head. "The council is going to lose their minds."

"Not when they see the footage." Aneka snickered. "You should have been here earlier. He was singing Micheal Jackson and Mariah Carey."

"On key?"

"No."

"ONE."

They all turned to see Okoye try to climb out the window before she was yanked back in by a pair of blue arms.

Everyone was silent as the window remained empty for a moment.

W'Kabi watched Attuma jump out the window, dawning nothing more than his loincloth and rebreathers as he moved forward with hellfire in his dark brown eyes.

The shorter man stepped back as Attuma began shouting in his native tongue.

"You're the other man!?!" W'Kabi stared in disbelief. "I can take you!"

Ayo closed her eyes as the shorter man ran forward and threw a series of punches into talokanil's chest.

Attuma looked at his chest, completely unfazed, before he chuckled.

"I bet it'll only take one punch." Aneka offered.

M'Baku took another bite of his carrot. "I think Attuma will be nice and let him endure a few more. He seems like the type who likes to play with his enemies before killing them."

"You two are awful." Ayo sighed before accepting a bite of banana.

Attuma swung, and W'Kabi took it like a champ as he crumbled to the floor.

It was like watching a tree fall to an axe.

Slow and cumbersome.

"Damn." Aneka wrinkled her nose as they watched W'Kabi struggle to get back up. "I can't believe you were right."

"The man got his ass kicked a lot in exile. He can take a few hits."

"You knew that before making the bet."

"I did."

"Cheater."

"It's called research."

"No. It's called cheating."

They watched W'Kabi grab Attuma's leg to support himself as he tried to get back up.

"Glory to Hanuman. Have some shame-" M'Baku shook his head before feigning a wince as the warrior kneed the dazed man in the face.

"I'm stepping in." Ayo grumbled.

"No. He's still fighting." He gestured to the sobbing man. "Let him get up. Let him get up."

"My king. If he is killed, it will be a breach in the treaty."

"Attuma knows his strength." He waved off her concern. "He'll be fine."

"I..... I-" W'Kabi slurred as blood spilled from his nose. "I wiiiiiiiiiill win baaaaack my wiiiiiife."

Attuma yanked him up by the back of her shirt and stared.

"You say, your wife. When she is mine." Attuma furrowed his eyebrows. "Do not insult the mother of my child."

"CHILD!?!" W'Kabi panicked. "O-Okoye is pregnant!?!"

"Yes. If she were not, I would have considered letting her beat you herself." He narrowed his eyes. "But maybe I would have handled you still, even if she wasn't. Just so you would know that you will never have a chance."

"NO! OKOYE!" He tried to look past the warrior as tears blurred his eyes. "OKOYE!"

Everyone gasped before they began to whisper.

"Oh-"

"Girl-"

"He's bout to be sick."

"I'm telling you. He's gonna be sobbing and fasting for days."

"He is living out a nightmare I tell you."

"Damn."

"OKOOOOYEEEEEEE! PLEAAAASEEE!"

Aneka smacked M’Baku's shoulder as she tried to contain her laughter.

"I was not prepared-" Ayo covered her mouth.

"Is he crying again?" M'Baku cackled.

"Yes." Aneka laughed.

W'Kabi continued to shout. "OKOYE! TELL ME HE'S LYING!" He squirmed. "OKOYE!"

"Do not call for her. She will not answer you." Attuma tightened his hold on him. "You have come here and disturbed her rest and now you wish to stress her further." He frowned. "If you are a problem to Okoye, you are a problem to me. I will not let my wife endure anything." He growled. "Something you failed to do."

W'Kabi was shaking in the man's hold.

"So, let me make myself clear." He narrowed his eyes. "If I learn that you are bothering Okoye ever again, I will serenade you until you fall into the sea and have my sharks rip you apart." His eyes were darker than the ocean's abyss. "I say this in english... to be clear. I can also say it in Xhosa to be clearer." He grabbed the man's face roughly with his other hand. "Do you understand?"

He spat in Attuma's face before shouting. "OKO-"

Attuma cracked his head into the other man's and tossed his body before turning around with a grunt of disgust.

"And see- he did better than me." Aneka shook her head as she ended the recording. "Because I would have stomped his head in after he spat in my face."

"I think he remembered the treaty." M'Baku offered. "I wouldn't have stopped him if he chose to. I think he was being pretty nice until he spat."

"Alright. This is done." Ayo smacked their shoulders before moving in to grab W'Kabi's limp body.

"That was an uneventful fight." M'Baku sighed. "But it was still good."

"What? You expected him to fight back?" Aneka laughed. "The man was drunk. A baby could wield a spear better than a drunk man."

"I was hoping it would give him a power up. Like uh.... super strength."

"He's not that type of drunk."

"I can see that." M'Baku got up. "Send me a copy of that video. I must show it to my people in the Jabari Lands."

"You got it."

[xblackreader]

Mbaku and Attuma: BFFs headcanons

They have nicknames only the other can call them:

You call him M’baku? Nah, Attuma knows him as Great Gorilla, Punching bag, lightweight, Coulda-been King, and Rocks for brains

You know Attuma? Nah, that’s M’baku’s bestie Great White, Shark Bait, Fishy General, Dollar Store Jaws, and Fat Ass.

…

They pretend not to be friends at first, until M’Baku says it first after Attuma begins to publically court Okoye.

M’Baku: I do not care that we are friends, if you hurt her in any way, I will see to it you never set foot on this land or sully her honor again.

Attuma:

M’Baku, serious: did you hear me?

Attuma: we are… friends?

They hug. It’s quick but it’s a hug.

…

Attuma is the quiet kid they put with Mbaku to mellow him out.

It didn’t work Mbaku is a bad influence.

After meetings Mbaku will go find Attuma on patrol. they like to arm wrestle, do physical combat training, and eat lunch together.

See Drabble of them eating lunch here.

To the point where it became a problem bc M’Baku keeps taking food from Attuma’s packed lunch from Okoye.

Okoye begins to pack them both lunches bc they got in trouble during a bad altercation. Attuma is very territorial with food.

…

Attuma used to think Mbaku was competition for Okoye’s heart, but he came to realize they’re more like siblings.

So now Mbaku is Attumas main wingman.

“How To Woo A Wakandan Woman 101 with Professor M’baku” attuma is in his tiny desk taking notes and Mbaku in his lil glasses and fake pipe

…

M’baku sings “HOMIES OVER HOES” and Attuma dances a lil then beats his ass bc his sunlight ain’t no hoe.

…

AU headcanon! By @saw-17

Omg I love it! M'Baku and Attuma own a vintage record shop. Attuma is a music head for several different genres and he's always bitching about M'Baku's taste especially his love of mubble rap. M'Baku is also the lovingly third wheel, as Okoye and Attuma try to set him up several times to disastrous effect

headcanon by @princess-of-gondor

Attuma was allowed to stand at Mbaku's right hand during a serious council meeting all of ONE time. Mbaku spent the whole time whispering jokes making the two of them laugh harder and harder. Zero work got done. They are forbidden from sitting next to each other now, king or no king. 😂

headcanon by @hyperf1xate-much

M'Baku gave Attuma a shirt that said SUCK and had an arrow pointing down. Attuma did not understand so he wore the shirt anyway. Attuma is also confused on why Okoye scolded him.

headcanon by @saw-17

M'Baku and Attuma as 1940's gumshoes running a detective agency. The stunningly beautiful Femme Fatale Okoye Bali walks in one rain-soaked night, pleading for help to exonerate her in the death of her extremely wealthy and decrepitly old husband. M'Baku knows trouble when he sees it, but poor Attuma was gone at the first sight of her. He's willing to do anything to clear her name and He'd burn the world to cinders for one night between her thighs. A harrowing tale ensues.

COMMENT SOME MORE FOR ME TO ADD

[dasphinxone]

Thoughts about yandere talokan trio for shuri,riri and okoye??

Okay, I freely admit that I simp the most for Okoye x Attuma out of all three. Like, I love all three couples but Okoye x Attuma are my faves and still seem to be a rare pair. So imma talk about these two Battle Buddies the most.

Otherwise, yeah, I can see this with all three pairings. Though I prefer to be careful and not assign an Indigenous culture like the Talokanil with yandere tropes that could be seen as harmful due to falling into really poor stereotypes of Indigenous folks and so on.

I think it's more a case of when the Talokanil set their eyes on someone, it's done with passionate dedication. Especially in regard to the object of their affection having talents and characteristics they don't consider themselves to either personally possess or are a mirror to their own.

Namor is lovingly obsessed with Shuri because they have similar outlooks when it comes to dealing with the outside world. However, their methods are clearly different. Not to mention, he's dealing with a version of Shuri who is not only DEEP in her grief, she's traumatized by being Snapped out of existence and shit ton of things happening to her that are all out of her control.

Namor needs to learn to have as much empathy as she does. And he's actively working it, but only because she asks him to do it.

Namora finds Riri initially irritating as fuck. Oh, Namora absolutely respects science and researchers because let's be real, Talokan wouldn't exist without their work. I strongly believe Namor encourages his people to be multitalented. So yeah, Namora and Attuma are his best generals but they are also encouraged to pursue other interests outside of battle and master them so that they're well-rounded warriors who can also hold plenty of conversations with all people of his kingdom. Like, Attuma likes beading up his clothes to add a personal touch and interior decorating because he likes making people's homes feel welcome to them. While Namora creates the most beautiful Mayan hieroglyph art. She also loves weaving.

But Namora finds Riri irritating because she runs a mile a minute and Namora can never get in a word edgewise, which annoys her because she wants to have a real conversation with the scientist. Namora feels initially rejected because Riri never discusses anything but science with her. What she doesn't realize is that Riri is slowly starting to like her but sticks to science talk all the time because she's nervous and doesn't know how to date Namora.

Of all people, it's Attuma who explains how surface dwellers date each other. Because he's the only who's properly courting Okoye at the moment and he's an expert at taking instructions. He's highly observant of how these surface dwellers treat each other during their courting rituals. He's also not embarrassed to ask for King M'Baku's advice. Why? Because Attuma comically thought he'd need M'Baku's permission to date one of the most talented, intelligent and valuable women in the whole of the Wakanda kingdom.

This is what causes Attuma and M'Baku to become besties. And after M'Baku explains that it's up to Okoye to date Attuma of her own free will, he really does look out for her and becomes closer to Attuma to ensure the shark man treats Okoye right, no matter his previous disagreements with Okoye.

For my fave battle couple of Okoye x Attuma, Attuma fell in love with Okoye's sheer tenacity. As that woman DID NOT STOP on the bridge. Not when he knocked her down the first time. Not when he dislocated her shoulder. Not when Namora's water bomb blasted her into the river.

But he really got hot for her from the start when she caught him across the cheek with her spear. My headcanon is that Attuma will carry that scar for the rest of his life since it was at the end of a vibranium weapon and he was out of the water too long for it to heal up completely. When they get together, he really enjoys Okoye kissing and touching it. Because as far as he's concerned, she marked him as her possession and he would gladly be hers until the last star falls from the sky.

Okoye is initially confused at Attuma so openly courting her. After all, they tried to kill each other twice. But once Namora explains to her that he admires her because she nearly killed him ('cause the concept of Namora and Okoye becoming besties once the treaty between their nations is drawn up is too good to pass up), it clicks for her.

She also really enjoys that he doesn't only see her as a warrior. He thinks she's beautiful and deserves to be as hard or soft as she wishes and whenever the fuck she wants. Whatever makes her happy? He's happy. And whatever makes her unhappy? He will deal with it swiftly and without mercy. Though of course, not always with a weapon. 'Cause Attuma is a warrior poet who's got BARS when it comes to doling out insults to those who act against the love of his life.

Anyway, hope this was an interesting answer. Sorry, I be rambling!

MCU Clea's a Fugitive AU Headcanons Part 3:

Hey everybody. So, for the last few months I've been fleshing out the world a bit in regards to the Clea AU and figured I'd post them on here.

Some of these are related to Stephen and Friends, but most of these are about how the Marvel Universe has developed and changed in this MCU timeline.

Let's go!

.............................................

During a time where The Enchantress is interested in acquiring The Eye of Agamotto, she manipulates a frustrated college student looking to prove society can operate just fine without men around into placing a spell on New York City that makes all the men (children included) fall into a deep sleep, including Stephen. Of course, he's a stubborn SOB, so he manages to keep himself awake just long enough to tell Clea she needs to find other allies, specifically female allies to help restore order and reverse the spell. With the help of Cloakie, she assembles a team consisting of She-Hulk, Jessica Jones, Kate Bishop and Lucky, Shuri, Okoye and Anneka, Hope Van Dyne, Valkyrie, Yelena, Iron Heart, Maria Hill and Ms. Marvel.

While they never give themselves a name, Kamala dubs their girl group A-Force. None of them like it, but she keeps calling them that, anyway.

During clean-up, Kamala, Kate and Jessica's group comes upon Zebediah Killgrave, aka The Purple Man. Kamala recognizes him from Reddit and Twitter threads and has heard rumors' of what he can do, which Kate and Jessica confirm. Kamala and Kate decide to have some fun and start writing on his face. Jessica seems to disapprove at first...until she asks for the pen and joins in the fun.

In this timeline, Shuri DOES survive the Blip, and she becomes the new Black Panther in T'challa's stead. As a result, the events of Wakanda Forever take place during the five year gap instead of after.

When T'challa returns, M'Baku abdicates the throne to him. He tries managing being King and Black Panther alongside Shuri for a time but, seeing how well Shuri has been managing being Wakanda's protector, and realizing that he'd like to spend more time with Nakia and their son, decides he'll just settle for being King and convinces Nakia to move back to Wakanda so he can work on proposing to her.

Shuri goes through their mother's things and finds her old engagement ring. She gives it to T'challa, encouraging him to propose to Nakia using that.

Sam still becomes Captain America, but Rhodey, after going through his own version of Armor Wars, emerges as the new Iron Man.

While the Avengers still exist Post-Endgame, they exist as more of a floating roster instead of having an official line-up. That changes when Stephen is made aware Dormammu is coming to Earth, so him and Wong go about finding allies and, in the process re-form the Avengers with a new, official roster.

The new roster consists of Sam as Captain America, The Hulk, She-Hulk, Thor, Antman and The Wasp, and Hawkeye.

Reserve members include Iron Man, Kate Bishop, Shuri and Captain Marvel. Shang-Chi was offered a spot, but he turns it down, preferring to help out in the mystic community and keep a low profile.

Wanda still becomes the Scarlet Witch and begins using The Darkhold. Key difference here is the mystics of Karmar-Taj and Stephen have been keeping a close eye on her since the events of Wandavision. So when i's made evident that the Darkhold's corruption is beginning to affect her, Stephen and Wong go to retrieve the book and help her before she goes coo-coo for cocoa cocoa puffs. It's not an easy battle, but they eventually win out in the end and offer Wanda a place at Karmar-Taj. She turns down the offer but says she doesn't mind coming to visit and check out books from their library so she can learn as much as possible about her powers.

Christine and her husband end up having a child.

Stephen begins having nightmare visions of the future, which Wong realizes this as the first sign as him growing into becoming ready to take on the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme.

The Contest of The Vishanti exists in this universe, so Stephen still has to compete with other sorcerers for the mantle. This is where he initially meets Doom, who tied with Wong in previous contest. Naturally, Stephen wins and, with Doom as the runner-up, he has no choice but to assist Doom in helping him rescue his mother's soul from hell.

After that, Stephen maintains the same relationship with Victor as he does in the comics; he doesn't care much for his antics, but does see his noble intentions, however misguided they are. In other words, he recognizes that Victor von Doom, though not a good person, has layers to him.

That's all I got for now but if I'll post any more I come up with as time goes by.

headcanon: m'baku taking up knitting as a hobby

[sindirimba]

wrote a story in my head while working where nile and booker go to see wakanda forever together and talk about it after coming out of the theatre, and after a while of talking about the story, nile’s like, and who's your favorite side character? and booker's like, hmmm. the queen. and nile's like, ooh, you know, that makes sense. and he asks her about her favorite and she decides she loved m'baku because she liked his vibes, but also she liked riri a lot because chicago pride. and then she's like, i hope shuri and namor hook up. and he's like, i guess they did have chemistry. and she's like, yeah and like, who doesn't like an older man? and booker's like 👀 and nile continues on talking about the movie while he’s still struggling to get his mind on track again.

that was the gist of it.

i’m unlikely to actually write this so i thought i’d post about it instead, to share the self-indulgence. think of it as a headcanon or whatnot.
