I genuinely don't remember following you, but I'm not going to unfollow you because it is especially fun to get these random little glimpses of the Lion King Fandom and whatnot
Like what do you mean someone hcs Timon, the Meerkat, the man who raised Simba, The Lion King, with his warthog lover, as. *checks notes* A Serial Cheating Womanizer? Am I getting this right???
Anyways, this is all meant as very positive, keep it up, I'm living for these little tidbits
I’M DYING LAUGHING RIGHT NOW. 😂 LET ME EXPLAIN.
Soooooo, this blog, my main blog, has been around for a quite a while.
It’s been a Lord of the Rings fandom blog, it’s been a generic main blog, and most recently, it was my professional “art” blog, but I’ve kinda let that ship sail. I had originally switched it to that because I went through a period of like… 5 years or so where I wasn’t really posting on tumblr at all and I was trying to maintain a more “professional art presence online,” which…. PFFFT, HAAAAAAA. BYE.
Now, I’ve been part of The Lion King fandom for like… 17 or 18 years, which is wiiiiiild, but I didn’t start actively engaging with the fandom on this website until like 6 months ago, and I mainly did it through my side blog. But yeaaaah, I was having issues where I was ONLY using my TLK side blog, so no one knew who tf I was when I interacted with them through my main blog.
SO YEAH. I revamped my main blog to better reflect my current fandom posting tendencies, and I had a BIG FEELING that some of my old followers and moots on this blog would be like WHO IN THE HELL ARE YOU?!?!!
But I’m so glad you’re entertained!!! 😂 I’ve been too scared to post here on main much because I feel like most of my followers aren’t ready for my unhinged, old man meerkat and warthog yaoi posting.
….ANYWAYS.
Yeah.
That “Timon is a serial cheating womanizer” thing I keep referencing was just some wild fanfic-y hot take thing from someone on DeviantArt who not-so-subtly hated Timon and wanted to paint him as completely and totally irredeemable.
But also like…
Timon??? The meerkat??? A womanizer???? A serial cheater??? Did we watch the same movies??????
They also insinuated that he didn’t really care about Pumbaa and that their bond is purely based on convenience and selfishness on Timon’s part.
It read like they were a jilted ex-lover of his LMFAOOOO 😭
I’m trying to be vague because I don’t want to make fun of anyone or be a jerk, but it was the hottest of all hot takes I have ever read about Timon.
He’s my favorite character and I’m protective of him AHHHHHH 🥲🥲🥲
