TLK: Perfectly Valued Act 5 Page 19
It's not easy to overcome trauma. Kion believes he is worthless and doesn't deserve being saved. It's something I read in interviews with men victims of rape: they think they should have been able to fight it off, when abuse is not only about strenght.

I dont care what the Bunga haters say I think he would be a great dad. He's probably not the one doing the more "serious" stuff, but I think he would be the fun dad.
I feel like it would be really interesting if he takes up adoption like his dads, and I think it'd be extra cute/cool if he ends up adopting animals that were the lion guard's enemies. Maybe he adopts a cobra, snow leopard, binturong, komodo dragon, african/asiatic leopard, vulture, monitor lizard, crocodile, porcupine, scorpion, or jackal. I mean I'm more inclined to a cobra and binturong because those directly affect him and Binga, but any of the others would be really fun.
I think I remember someone talking about him adopting/taking care of an indian/egyptian cobra directly related to Ushari somehow and I really think that'd be interesting to explore with his character. Let him grapple with the fact he killed someone (I should add that Ushari did not die so someone could be fed, and Bunga was just doing self defense, but still), that because of his own actions, this cobra lost a family member. Now, maybe he wants to step up and help that cobra and possibly their family. I just think it'd be really cool to see him and Kion interact with Ushari's family members, Roar Towards The Future and Perfectly Valued does that well.
Really any animal that is an "enemy" would be very cute to see. I honestly just do see Bunga maturing over time, and becoming the fun dad. He knows how to babysit, and maybe he uses that knowledge for being a father, or maybe he just takes up a "job" of babysitting a lot of animal's kids sometimes. (If I may add in a little bit of my headcanon/universe here, he, Binga, and Nirmala all start up a tiny adoption/nursery program at the tree of life. Binga and Bunga work a lot with setting up the program, and Nirmala is there since she's the healer, but other animals end up taking over some of Bunga and Nirmala's jobs. Binga stays, she's the main "guard" of the program after training a little with Beshte and Baliyo for basic combat, and she's also still like the host and all. I follow the bear Binga headcanon as well, so she is also just like a beast at combat anyway, she doesn't fight much, but she will fight if needed.)

I can finally reveal Kion's and Dalili's cub!
The name (the one Dalili will give to him) is Kamili, which means "Perfect" in swahili
Why now? Well, he is trans! Though in Perfectly Valued will be referred with his deadname since he will only appear as a newborn cub. It's after the events of the comic that he will transition, so a good spoiler! The cub will survive! I'm not promising with all his limbs though
His future name is something I will reveal first in my kofi, since I'm planning to make a ref sheet for him (it will come here too, dw)

And we are ready to see the final confrontation in Act 6.
Thank you so much for reading so far, the support of this story means a lot, specially after I lost a lot of my files.
I do not have an exact day of release of the final act, since it's supposed to have a lot of action, so I can only ask for patience

"... It's time to stand up."
-Diminish, Act 1, Ep 9
Long ago I watched an amazing analysis video done by Sagan Hawkes about Diminish. It's about grief, loss and how to overcome it. I remember getting to this part and how crude it was. About self-harm, trauma, and how we can own that pain and make it ours. I suggest watching it (as well as the original series) because it inspired this scene. That's why this Act was so important, to me, as a writer and as a person who also went through wanting to give up after a traumatic event.
