DARIA: "The Teachings of Don Jake" [S1 Ep12]

“I like rich people. I like the way that they live. I like the way that I live when I’m with them.”

Love that line.

This drawing is old af but I still think it holds up alright.

I’m definitely in the camp of fans that believe Fearless Buzz is Timon’s dad. And that Uncle Max is Buzz’s older brother. 😁

I keep going back and forth with drawing little Timon with fluffy hair or short hair. I can’t decide. 🤧

I find it quite funny considering how Nathan Lane is an honorary Jew, they had Timon's family be voiced by actual jewish actors as well.

I really love Ma's expression here:

She knows and she's happy they're happy:

Ever notice that Timon calls Simba "Sonny Boy" just like Uncle Max calls him that?

Every time I think of Uncle Max's relation to Timon and Ma it always changes

The common consensus is that he's Timon's uncle, with him usually being the brother-in-law of Ma because of how easily he could be made into an older brother of Timon's dad because of the buzzcuts.

Another is him being Timon's uncle and Ma's biological brother, with him and Timon's dad having similar buzzcuts because of similar occupations (which I guess could be how Ma and Timon's dad met. Some, like, mutual friendship with your brother's military friend turning into marriage)

But then... recently I thought of Uncle Max being Ma's uncle, and therefore Timon's great uncle. Which... if you still connect him with Timon's dad, Timon's dad could've easily been trained by Max as a youth, similarly to how he does with Timon in the movie. Him being a generation older than Timon and Ma could even explain the gray hair and overall older look (if it's not the excess stress of hypervigilance doing a number on him).

Also I can't get over how Fearless Buzz is NOT Timon's Dad. FB is just a renowned legend from a past generation (honestly, excellent worldbuilding for the meerkats). I keep resorting to him being Timon's dad because of the easy connection and the fact that they're both deleted, possibly both deceased characters (idk was Timon's dad killed off in the old script he's from?). Because FB is an unrelated figure of the past, it kinda makes his connection to the colony SO ambiguous and there's so many directions to go, like even making him some other ancestor of Timon's.
