Friendly reminder that the intro to Lion King….the non english bits leading up to the “circle of life” is not random yelling in *Africa voice* it is an actual language, Zulu, spoken by 10 million people, it is the most widely spoken language (out of 11) in the country of South Africa (1 out of the 54 countries in the continent of Africa, the continent home  to somewhere between 1500-2000 languages and around 3000 distinct ethnic groups)

this isn’t to say that you have to friggin learn the language to sing along with a disney film, it just means that you should be mindful, respectful, appreciative and respectful. don’t be yelling out whatever noise comes in to your head when you hear it

[melancholic-pie]

Ok but someone knows what does this say?

[thehighpriestofreverseracism]

The lyrics before the english comes in…in “circle of life”

Nants ingonyama bagithi baba [Here comes a lion, Father] Sithi uhm ingonyama [Oh yes, it’s a lion] Nants ingonyama bagithi baba [Here comes a lion, Father] Sithi uhm ingonyama [Oh yes, it’s a lion] Ingonyama [It’s a lion] Siyo Nqoba [We’re going to conquer] Ingonyama Ingonyama nengw’ enamabala [A lion and a leopard come to this open place] (repeats) [queue English lyrics]

I would like to further add that language has there own cultural nuances so something that can sound extremely meaningful in one languages may not sound as majestic when translated to another (I know this as someone who has an understanding of 5 languages and speaks 3 of them fluently) so if you are thinking “oh it ain’t that deep they are just yelling: the lion is coming!” dial it back

[haileyastraea]

Worth noting that “lion” and especially the word Ingonyama is a very respectful word to talk about a Zulu king, especially in praise. It’s so heavily associated with royalty in isiZulu that a different word is used for an animal lion - Ibhubesi. This isn’t just announcing the arrival of an animal, it’s celebrating the arrival (or coronation?) of the king

Reasons to love yourself (for the signs):

ARIES: you know how to compete with others, don’t ever doubt yourself because it’s a waste of time. People might get frustrated that you get mad easily but it’s just how you cope. You are beautiful and inspiring with what you do.

TAURUS: you are so strong and never give up on your beliefs. If people ever call you stubborn they’re jealous because you stand up for yourself and they can’t break you. Even if you’re sad, you are there for everyone and tougher than a nail and you should be proud of yourself.

GEMINI: you know how to make others happy. You are so brilliant and smart. Don’t sell yourself out because people judge you, they just can’t keep up with your optimistic outlook on life. Dark days are common but don’t let them stop you.

CANCER: you are such a little cupcake and you get so sad so easily, but that’s common and you are stronger than you think. You are always making sure your friends are okay and it’s time to make sure you are okay too.

LEO: you are the most selfless people and you never let others stop you from what you want. Your independency can be intimidating for others but you are so tough. You are a natural leader. Strong, proud and beautiful.

VIRGO: you are organized and amazing and no one can step in your way from achievement. You are cute and respectable and people adore you. You have such an amazing sense of humor and you should tell yourself that. You deserve so much.

LIBRA: you are such a dreamy person. You are beautiful and your eyes tell stories. You are kind and people always soak you up (in a good way). Your bright smile tells people that they are welcome in your life. You are amazing!!

SCORPIO: you are not the devil that people claim you to be. You are so caring and always there for everyone. Please don’t ever doubt yourself because you are strong. People aspire to be like you, always remember that.

SAGITTARIUS: you put up this facade and people think you don’t care. Although this can be true, you care so deeply for the people that you are close to. You are such an adventurous soul that craves all things fun and that’s amazing.

CAPRICORN: you are so brilliand and amazing in every single way. You are witty and don’t let people bring you down, which is so inspiring. No one will ever tell you how to live your life and that is great.

AQUARIUS: people may be intimidated by your crazy independency but that shouldn’t stop you. You are so tough because you can handle every single obstacle that is put in your way. You are unique and constantly inspire people to be amazing. No matter what happens, keep going and ALWAYS be yourself.

PISCES: no one can keep up with your mind, you are such a physic soul that is unstoppable. Emotions may get you down but you are deep and people connect to you easily. You are sunshine on a gloomy day.

No one truly knows the real me. I spread my life in bits & pieces across the board between people I’ve met throughout my life. Some know my secrets, some know about my past, some know about my heartbreaks, some know about my successes… but no one knows everything.

When Angela Bassett has the perfect reaction gif for every occasion

When you’re getting ready to drop some receipts:

When you drop the receipts and leave:

When you want the gossip, and you’re tired of being subtle:

When someone you hate is about to get dragged, but you’re not involved:

When you meet your saltmate:

When you and your saltmate have to admit that the person you don’t like actually has a point:

When you’re watching someone have a social media meltdown, and they keep digging themselves further:

When you get anon hate:

When they get even more upset because you don’t respond:

Self-explanatory

When you look at your bank statement, and realize you went too far on your last shopping trip:

When your friends are drunker than you are:

When your mom asks you to do something:

When your mom volunteers you to help do the dishes at your grandma’s house after Thanksgiving dinner:

When you come to terms with the fact that you will never be as amazing as Angela Bassett:

Because there is no one else like her
