Ok AHKJ fans, I’ve got another very long tangent about Maurice that has been bugging me for a very long time, but I can’t figure it out🤔. If someone could give me some insight on this I would really appreciate it 😊 Ok here it goes:
So first off, some of you may have noticed that DreamWorks has made a couple different theories as to how Maurice and Julien met. I’ll go over the ones I remember:
1. The most popular theory is that Maurice is older then Julien (much older) and has always taken care of Julien ever since he was a little baby. There are also significant hints to support this theory such as in “That sinking Feeling” When Maurice takes Clover to the place where Julien keeps all the stuff from when he was a baby, Maurice picks up Julien’s bottle and pretends that he was holding a baby, while he mentions that Julien was “So cute” when he was little. Makes sense, right? But then there’s theory two…
2. In “Revenge of the Prom” when Julien mentions that he met someone important at his “lemur school” Maurice believes that Julien is referring to him, which implies…they met in high school? But if they met in high school, how did Maurice take care of Julien as a kid? that also implies that Maurice and Julien are or around the same age… Weird… then to make things more confusing….
3. Boom! in “I Maurice” its said that they didn’t meet in high school, they actually met when they were babies! Again implying that they are around or close to the same age. But, despite how cute and touching this episode was, it doesn’t make sense. From the depiction of the 2D animation when Julien finds Maurice, it’s my guess, if anything, that Julien, because he is at least able to crawl, while Maurice can only lay down and cry, is older then HIS caretaker…someone tell me how that works. And if they’re the same age, how can Maurice hold Julien as a baby, or take care of him, when he is a baby himself? It’s hard to believe that DreamWorks OVERLOOKED this. Maybe its just me. I haven’t heard anyone else bring this up…so maybe it does make sense. If that is the case I would really love it if someone could it explain to me how. Really confused. Thanks for reading this! Hope I didn’t bore you too much XD But this and the whole, *shudders* Clager ending are really making my head spin in circles. The answer to my Clager post was that it just DOESN"T make sense, no matter what…Is that the same with this?

I didn’t write this, this theory is from our great “Feelings Develop” author Netflix Original !!! Please know that she doesn’t have Tumblr, so she sent me a message with this interesing theory and I posted it. Also chapter 15 is almost done!!!! ^^
KJ: Respect!
