simba in the lion king 2: EXILE!!!
kiara: NO!!!
the whole savannah:
Lion King 2 really went "this child never learned to play. His and his siblings' only idea of fun is actual fighting. He only finds amusement in legitimate life-threatening situations. He only learns to have normal fun when he's an adult". Goddamn.
Also can we talk about Kiara getting into situations comparable to Simba's encounter with the hyenas and she thinks they're fun? yeah it could be a defense mechanism ("I laugh in the face of danger" anyone?) but my girl shakes off near-death events with naught but a giggle
rewatched tlk2 with my friends so obviously i had to doodle the sillies
Dug up this TLK2 fanart of mine to post since the Mufasa movie came out recently and - no surprise - was painfully mid to the point I had to take myself back to my favourite installment of the series mentally + bonus Nuka doodle from today
I could talk for hours on how amazing Nuka and Zira are as characters and how wonderfully messed up their whole family dynamic is in relation to Kovu if they ever touch the 2nd part then I'm ending up on the news
I find it really funny that both Kiara and Kion inherited Nala's lithe body but Sarafina's "baby face" genes 😆
i don't think i've talked about it super thoroughly here (i talk more fully about my headcanons on my DA) but in my verse kion's guard stays in the pridelands and it's vitani's guard who goes to the tree. the whole thing about his guard vs her's only happens because they needed an excuse to send kion back to rani, but since they are not a couple for me, there's no need for that.
there's never a question that kion's guard are the right and true guard, the conflict is instead that vitani feels listless without a job to do. she liked helping animals to make up for what her family did, what's her place in the world without her job? the competition happens but this time it's a test to see if her guard is worthy, as kion doesn't need askari to tell him there's another place that could use help.
and the tree did need some help, as surak and nirmala had had their cub, leaving the night pride duties to just rani and baliyo, with much of it falling on the latter with rani being queen. makucha's army was gone (gotta draw them one of these days, they have some changes) but this was the first time in decades where the queen didn't have the help of a larger pride. they were grateful for more lions.
vitani feels an attraction to rani immediately, but i haven't really decided yet if this is one of those "character A tries to peacock around character B, who is clueless" tropes or if she quickly pushes it down and denies it, too cool to fawn over a pretty girl she just met, but her girls can see it. rani for her part doesn't really notice or see vitani that way at first, more focused on her duties. but they'll get there eventually.
