There are a number of students in my GCSE class that have behavioural issues and if they feel uncomfortable they can do anything from storm out of the classroom to throwing chairs and punching their tables. They’re great kids, they just dont always see the light at the end of the tunnel and when they are in stressful situations they dont know what to do other than lash out sometimes. They are 10 months away from their final exams and the pressure is being mounted on them in every aspect of their school lives.

Last week one of the students saw me making little origami stars. Its something I do when I’m feeling anxious to help me focus on something else. He asked if I could show him how to make them. He had been clenching his fists all lesson, which I’ve noticed is a tell that he is struggling to retain composure. I gave him a strip of paper and talked it through with him. Soon half of the class were asking me to show them. They all picked it up really quickly.

After about five minutes and about 8 stars later, the student sat back down and was in a much calmer and motivated mood for the rest of the lesson. Our next lesson I placed a box of paper strips on my desk and when I saw anyone getting worked up about their work I silently placed a strip in front of them and let them get on with it. The lesson after I was amazed to see that students would go up to the box of their own accord, pick up a few strips and head back to their desks to continue working after calming down.

Yesterday I brought a large jar into the classroom and placed my anxiety stars in there. The boys put their strsss stars in there too. When they fill the jar I’m going to bring sweets into the lesson to celebrate them working hard and working through their problems in a positive manner. I know I’m not the teacher they deserve just yet but I feel like I’ve made a big breakthrough with them.

You are exactly the teacher they need. It’s a brilliant idea and im so glad it works for them.

Kovu is a sexy lion strange as it is to say. He’s just so cute. And Uncle Scar is just fabulously devious and underhanded. I’ve always liked him and the way he moved. Never liked the fact he killed his own brother. Bruh is just fucked up, but I adore him as a character. He makes a really good villain who achieved their goals but soon either lost steam or ran into a block. Kovu is a poor dear who was brainwashed into being the second coming of Scar and was for all intents and purposes good at it. He’s smart, resourceful, knows how to manipulate, know’s how to make allies, know’s how to choose his battles and so on. Kovu’s even got more brute strength than Scar acknowledged he lacked himself. But Kovu just…lacks whatever nastiness that made Scar capable of doing what he did regardless of anyone’s feelings. I know in the movie it was and can be put down to Kiara making him soft and loving him (which is essentially just saying that the power of boners was stronger) or that his eyes were opened. But I truly believe that despite Zera’s best efforts she failed to make Kovu have the same thing that enabled her darling Scar. She failed to make his heart a cold shriveled raisin incapable of absorbing any of Simba’s prides’ kindness and sincerety. I think her failure may in part be due to how much weight she put behind unity of her lions and a sense of morals. And since she seemed to come down with a case of Crazy Bitch, Kovu was left to further interpret these things on his own in Simba’s lands which allowed his views to morph and be influenced enough for him to develop a mind of his own.

[livingdead666]

To call Kovu a villain at any point of the film would be a stretch. Aside from stalking Simba at the pond, he never actually tries to enact the plan. Even then, he’s quickly distracted by Kiara, and has fun with her, Timon, and Pumbaa for the first in years. He was always kind and compassionate, and it’s so natural for him that even after so many years of being geared towards violence and deceit, it took only one day for him to escape that mindset.

Dr Bernard Hazelhof says my brain is defective but one day there will be a cure for my disability. I do not like it when he says this. I do not feel disabled, defective or I need to be cured. I like being an Aspie. It would be like trying to change the colour of my eyes.

I think the saddest part of The Lion King 2 is this scene right here.

Zira is presenting her son to be used as meat. And, yes, it’s a mind game- she knows he won’t do it- but Kovu doesn’t. You can see it in his eyes; he honestly thinks he’s going to die. 

He truly believes his mother is going to let him perish at the claws of the king. He truly believes Simba is capable of killing a cub. And no one will stop him.

Simba examines Zira, trying to figure if she’s serious or not. She’s just spouted off how Kovu is the prince, the heir to King Scar, and now she’s offering him as food.

Zira smiles, because she knows he’s too “weak” to end Kovu’s life. And, even if he accepts, what’s there to lose? She and her lionesses will have access to the Pridelands, and she can rule in Scar’s place, once they destroy Simba. She’ll even have just cause; the killing of her adopted cub.

Simba’s disgust is palatable. He has a daughter; he can’t understand how callous Zira is to the death of her son.

It’s all he can do to turn away and let this go on, because Zira is not part of his pride, and he can’t intervene.

[livingdead666]

As suspicious as Simba was of Kovu (to be honest, he wasn’t completely off at first), the idea of harming a child is something he would never consider. For all the ‘attention’ Kovu got (being groomed to assassinate somebody for a dead tyrant), he didn’t matter much more then Nuka. The fact is that while Zira might have very well loved her kids, they always came second to Scar and were ultimately a means to an end.

My two favorite dorks in LOVE :)

Art is mine. Characters are Disney’s.

I had to draw this canon couple at least once… Do NOT copy, trace, recolor, repost or otherwise redistribute this image without my written permission. Reblogs are okay! Kovu and Kiara are ©Walt Disney Studios, Inc.

Probably one of the very few couples that actually make me feel all romantic. They are just so wholesome.

TLK: Simba’s Pride Fan Remake - All Posters

Decided to put all the fanmade posters in one post!

god I can’t believe I drew so many realistic lions in such a short duration of days, but hey whatever it takes to get better at drawing them am I right lol

I might make some more art in the style of this hypothetical remake in the future, like screenshot redraws from the cartoon or fake screenshots of new scenes idk

(You’ll notice that Kiara and Kovu’s adult models look a little different from their separate posters I made for them a few days ago, I thought they looked disproportionate and under-detailed so I revised them)

[livingdead666]

Admit it, even if you’re not crazy about the remake, these posters are amazing.

Damn okay lemme just

A lot has gone down today in the tags and in the community. And if you’re like me and some of my other tumblr people, you’ve learned stuff today and I’m grateful for it. I went from being on the artist’s side, then I completely flipped after I was told what was up.

At first I was more on my own side, I was defending an artist solely because they provided content that I thought was cute. I really wish I had learned more about them earlier. But NOW thanks to people explaining it to me, I see this argument wasn’t just the same old gay fetishizing that it usually is about. There’s no excuse for pedophilic art. Don’t throw that fiction bullshit at me, it’s harmful and it’s gross. I don’t usually look at what other people favorite/bookmark usually because I don’t care.

I’m not going to get into the fucking top and bottom rant. If you follow me you should know where I stand with it.

So I’m going to say this. If you support pedophilic activities, unfollow me please. I won’t get into this situation anymore and I hope that it dies down soon. I want y’all to know that if there’s anything I reblog that offends you or comes from a source you don’t like, tell me. Send me a message. Hope y’all learned stuff today. ✌️

I was reminded that April is autism ‘awareness’ month and thought I should throw out a reminder: AutismSpeaks is a bullshit organization. A few facts and figures:

- 35% of funding goes to research, much of which produces no results.

- 33% of funding goes to media 'awareness’ and advertisements.

- Only 4% of funding goes to family help.

- AutismSpeaks promotes stereotypes and stigmas that paint autistic individuals as victims rather than people

- AutismSpeaks was anti-vaxx until very recently.

- There are no autistic individuals on AutismSpeaks’ committee or management body.

Before you light it up blue for autism 'awareness’ month, consider the stigma behind it, and go #RedInstead for autism ACCEPTANCE month. It’s not a disease that needs to be cured. It’s a condition that affects people, not defines them.

Zazu trying his best to protect Simba and Nala from Shenzi, Banzai and Ed, even though he’s a tiny bird compared to everyone else, tho 

[livingdead666]

Sometimes I think that this spunky little Hornbill isn’t always given enough credit. Even though Simba and Nala had been nothing but a pain his neck that day, he did everything in his power to keep them safe. And it was sweet to see Simba defend Zazu during the ‘Birdie Boiler’ incident.

Such an amazing bonding moment between Simba and Kovu. Shame that Zira, like what she did with Kovu, Nuka, and Vitani’s childhoods, fucked it up.
