[the-bus-called-graveyard-8]

I'm going to be starting a proper All Hail King Julien rewatch soon, for the purpose of continuing the 10 year anniversary gifsets! (more on that below) I'll be making other gifsets as I go, so if anyone's got a scene they want to see or any other AHKJ idea, reply to this or shoot me an ask and I'll add it my list!

I'm a bit torn on how to go about the anniversary sets this time around. Do I do one for each individual episode or one for each season as a whole? I want each episode to have its day, but it seems silly to make separate sets when all the episodes dropped at the same time. Posting 13 gifsets in one day would be just absurd 😂 maybe I can make up one of those little gif memes to do alongside the anniversary sets, like a "one moment per episode" sort of deal. Other fandoms/gifmakers do that sort of thing, I can be cool like them 😂

King Julien?

THIS IS SO LONG RIP

King Julien my beloved…….

Also sorry this took me so long omgggg

* favorite thing about them

everything <3

okay, so this comes as no surprise to literally anyone who’s heard me talk about kj but his big heart. i absolutely adore that so much of his story is about how his big heart fumbling around saves the day, even when the story is about his own hubris. Whether it was intentional or not ahkj ended up being a powerful story about a kind-hearted party animal with an inherited legacy of violence and mistreatment heal from his own trauma with the love for his people. yes! it was messy and it is a kids show so it had a lot of continuity issues and like…. toilet humour, but underneath it was so tender. kj’s story of wanting to be king for perks, to feeling like he didn’t deserve to be the one true king but managing to unite the entirety of the kingdoms Madagascar under his love as a symbol was so…….. kj’s big heart saves the day <3

even in the movies, where he is classist and bigheaded he still manages to do it? melman is brave because of kj’s empathy for a talking head, and the circus goes back to the Central Park zoo to help the zoosters bc of kj’s love. his line about “it doesn’t matter what you smell like, or what i smell like, it matters what we smell like together.” is what prompts everyone to forgive the lies.

* least favorite thing about them

nothing he’s perfect <3

I don’t know how to feel about season 5 after exiled. I know it must have been hard trying to tie everything up, going back to the joke based continuity and toilet humour after the emotional sucker punch of exiled. it just. feels like it rehashes old plots but makes them more complex and I think if it hadn’t been after exiled I wouldn’t feel so…. Unsure. kj in this, starts off desperately trying to prove himself as king (again) for good reason, but then seems to lose himself in petty ways he out grow and serious things reveled through jokes get left behind to make more jokes and it just feels…… kj grew into being a good leader and i wish it wasn’t forgotten again. This isn’t rlly about him, more the writing, and the plot problem - episodic vs long form story telling is a hard one, but it’s what I dislike. Let kj have growth bc he was given some and it’s hard to see it’s gone when we know it’s possible.

* favorite line

Oh this is hard :/

I like whenever he does his little pep talks. Or when he says he loves his kingdom. Those are fun & nonsensical and yet, an encapsulation of why he’s such a good ruler. he does understand his people, in a way the juliens before him didn’t, because he was never supposed to be one of them, and left to his own devices with his big sensitive heart made a connection that would outlast even the cruelest of julien kings. julien wants to be loved so badly, and he makes a mess of it, but he holds together the cracks of the lemurs before him, hurt by others the way he was and together they build something worthwhile.

“think of it as me sandwich, stuffed with me.

Pretty good right?” Bc that’s one of the funniest scenes

* brOTP

royal quartet <3

kj and literally everyone. i love him being friends and loving towards just about everyone

* OTP

hmmmmmmmmm

kj x his kingdom as a wholistic statement <3 i think married to his kingdom is what’s most satisfying for me. Kj who makes the specific choice to focus on his kingdom instead of personal goals - and despite loving children so much, making the specific choice to end the julien line (it’s reign of terror) with him. Ahhhhhhhh that would be so satisfying narratively.

also, not to bring this up again but i do think it would be beneficial to both their characters of like kj and ted had a idk passionate summer fling and are now each other’s wingmen post divorce. i say again but i barely think I’ve hinted at it so you know, whatever. i just think their dynamic is SO interesting, and the one scene in exiled where Ted saves everyone is just……. ah, perfect. I wish we got a deeper exploration of Ted & Dorothy, and Ted & his rejection by julien at lemur school & losing prom king & his obsessed with being needed/wanted.

I have no issues with any of the pairings that happened lmao, but obv most of them are exes and i think they’re fun that way. Karen, rob, crimson, karl probably, idk, i guess skipper? i don’t think they date bc skipper is homophobic <3

* nOTP

There’s just way too much family symbolism & literally having clover and Maurice ACTUALLY taking his parents place for me to be anything but squicked by kj/either of them/both of them. no shade to anyone who does, but it just makes me feel :////// I also just love their dynamic as friends, and whilst exploring toxicity in relationships can be interesting, i rlly think that if the three of them became more dependent on each other it would just stunt them all. they do better as a unit in relation to everyone in the kingdom.

I didn’t include mort in the family part even tho he pretends to be kj’s son once but he’s included in that. people who say royal trio over royal quartet break my heart, mort is equally important in this dynamic and also. notp thanks

aslo don’t care for pancho :/ sorry pancho lovers <3 it’s just i don’t think he’s half as important as anyone makes him out to be and i don’t think he and kj rlly have that much chemistry, especially not compared to like his interactions with pretty much every single adult lemur. it’s whatever! ppl have fun with it, i just personally don’t see why you’d pick it over literally any of the other side but main-ish characters. i actually think, if anything, kj is more dismissive towards pancho than a lot of characters, especially considering he’s so flirty. and no amount of the Manchurian candidate can make up for that, especially when it was about family again.

ok now that I’ve alienated like 98% of the ahkj fandom it’s okay it’s not like super notp it’s just i don’t care for it <3

* random headcanon

kj starts watching todd’s unboxing videos one day when he’s relaxing, after he’s calmed down about the captain booty butt toy being stolen, like 3am channel surfing and like gets rlly into the concept bc like surprise toys out of box is peak adhd excitement. he wants to start his own channel and in his excitement gets everyone to watch his stuff which doesn’t have the care or knowledge (bc the excitement for kj is the surprise - can relate) that Todd’s has and Todd’s show gets canceled. he’s obv pretty sad bc that was Todd’s only hobby outside of doing what his mum makes him do & he gets rlly upset. eventually, somehow, kj stumbles upon Todd being sad and they have a convo and kj realises that he stole Todd’s hobby & that actually, the hovering, full attention of Tammy is suffocating and not something kj should long for. I rlly want Todd & kj to have an end to their “rivalry”. They make up, kj retires his unboxing channel and promos Todd’s, Todd gets to hang out in the plane as a friend to get away from his family for a while, kj learns the value of space.

* unpopular opinion

again… are there unpopular kj opinions???

i just think he should have had the proper number of rings on his tail. when i look at it I’m like, sir please give him the correct number it hurts me to see like 7 of each colour and i think it ends in a white tip which >:/ which is a silly thing to find annoying

For the fandom ask: Y and Z? ^^

Y - A fandom you’re in but have no ships from

Most of them tbh. I have no ships for Cars, AHKJ, Borderlands, etc

Z - Ramble about something fandom related

Man today I saw someone’s drawing and it had 64 notes but most of them were likes and I felt kinda bad for them and I wish people would be a little more generous about putting stuff that isn’t memes on their blog when it comes to fandom things

[despiteherself]

Clover?

alright,,,, the gang’s all here!!!! you get to hear my terrible clover thoughts now if i haven’t been banned from the fandom for my ship opinions yet <3

* favorite thing about them

hmmmm i like that she’s considered competent and feared wildly. like fossa stay away bc of her reputation. idk isn’t it great we finally get our dreamworks warrior girl who rlly is what they say she is? and her journey of learning compassion is just important for her character and the story - that love will heal

idk she’s so fun i love everything about her. she’s complex and writes dnd fanfic about herself, go girl!!! kind of weird, but yeah baby write it!!! and she takes herself too seriously, has a complex relationship with her family and her ideals. We were SO lucky to get clover

* least favorite thing about them

I wouldn’t say it’s my least favourite bc I actually rlly ENJOY it as a character trait bc I think it pushes for a interesting dynamic but I dislike how she immediately, always, encourages julien to do stuff to push the class divide. yeah julien it’s a great idea to make a rule that everyone has to like you <3 I enjoy it bc it’s unhealthy and bad, and they start to grow out of it (most important bit!!!) but she never gets to completely bc she becomes a queen???? But she gets her in with like acting with the “common” people in her future husband’s tribe which…….. like ok. it also makes me feel weird that she’s got an english accent and she’s super big on monarchy lmao

* favorite line

“two words, SHUT YOUR BLEEDING GOB!”

* brOTP

clover & crimson yeah booiiiii

also clover & sage????? their interactions in exiled are so fun. plus Fred the giant scorpion

clover & the royal quartet - plus xixi!!!! the time they all go on holiday together was cute even if clover ditched them to do other stuff. clover & mort get special mention bc i think they have some rlly fun moments that get overlooked.

it would have been nice to see her get more & more friendly with the other lemurs & even strike up tentative friendships with them. she was a “relic” of the old rule, of uncle king Julien, and her loyalty switch to julien, and learning that fun was necessary sometimes could have been expanded to show lemurs stop fearing her (ukj’s iron fist).

although we don’t rlly get it, i especially would like clover and ted to pick up a better report. clover needed to learn to respect ted tbh & ted needed more of her guidance.

* OTP

uhhh??? i don’t think i rlly ship her with anyone particularly and her story is better when it’s about friendship.

i guess i should mention sage. I don’t know how I feel about them. I liked the dynamic - and the dynamic of crimson “stealing sage” and how that was tied into clover’s feelings of self worth and difficult family dynamics - but I don’t know. Clover wanted so hard to create sage into her perfect fantasy man and sage was running so hard from his past mistakes he was self flagellating and it felt like it was really set up well but they weren’t 100% sure how to finish it? going from all that development and understanding in exiled to like jealous proving themselves to married was ???? A lot . I don’t necessarily think it was bad, it’s just …… idk how I feel

* nOTP

not to beat a dead horse, but like as mentioned in my other posts i find the royal quartet to have very strong symbolism around family and it just makes me feel :/// when their love is talked about as if it’s romantic?.

* random headcanon

even tho ahkj set up the start of the movie i kind of consider it a different universe and it wasn’t goodbye when clover left. julien United many of the kingdoms of Madagascar and I think it opened up a trade system that didn’t exist once. now the kingdoms mingle

clover comes over every second week to help train new recruits for the kingtail guard and it’s very fulfilling. the mountain lemurs are already tough and they appreciate her a & her skills a lot, but seeing the change & skills developed by the other lemurs is so satisfying for herself, afterwards the royal quartet has a fancy little luncheon and catches up.

* unpopular opinion

I don’t think I know of any clover unpopular opinions or like, disagree with any known popular ones?

[despiteherself]

Maurice for the character ask?

anon literally love u for sending in Maurice, like….. i don’t think I’ve ever done any serious maurice chats that aren’t just about kj. i mean a bunch of this probably is gonna be abt kJ but still!

* favorite thing about them

I feel like I keep saying complexity but I really like that he is given so many layers. The fact that he is sensitive and that’s it’s not seen as a huge massive joke all the time - and that there’s an entire episode where julien tries to apologise for making a joke of it. That the teasing and jokes about his sensitivity become nice, and appreciative. I like how he acts all cool-headed and chill but then is absolutely prone to panicking dnkskskskksksisk but he’s still brave even when he’s literally paralysed with fear! Maurice is so fun, and he’s got a lot of love to give and it’s so fun to watch him learn how to share it.

* least favorite thing about them

I get that it’s just a plot joke for a kids show with very limited continuity but like… I kind of get tired of him not believing in kj. like it gets to a point where theres tonnes of good ideas that kj has, or like…. they just need a little moderation (which is his job!!!!) like does he have to keep acting kj is a moron who's never had a good idea in his life.

* favorite line

Hmmm this one is hard. I like all the references to spring break and the woman i forgot her name, and also when he’s being sarcastic but probably when he’s about to drop down the pit in exiled and tells kj he cares & believes in him and that he’s so proud of who kj’s become (I forget the exact words but that’s the vibe) like……. Ahhhhhhhhh

also the bromance song <3 that’s fun

* brOTP

I mean???? pretty much everyone within obv his found family (royal quartet <3), and his sister, but also like Xixi and hector and stuff. Maybe also pancho & Andy like sjsksokskdjdid he has to deal with royal shit and they’re both getting caught all the time so he’s like “sigh, guys, more paperwork” and they become friends. Plus Maurice & the rats …… come on!!! King Joey and Maurice friendship for us all

also I like skipper & Maurice bffs, Marlene & Maurice. OH BEST FRIEND TRIO <3

plus Maurice & the zoosters is such a fun dynamic!! he gets to talk with them on another level. Plus!!! Maurice and the chimps, we deserved more of that (I forget if he talks to them much in tpom?)

* OTP

I don’t rlly ship him with anyone

* nOTP

i wouldn’t say this is a notp completely, bc i understand the continuity is all over the place and i guess why ppl would like it, but i don’t rlly like jumo that much bc to me he’s literally kj’s mother figure. like they l i t e r a l l y have him take kj’s mum’s place when kj is realising he just needs his found family & not his birth parent’s approval. there’s SO MUCH symbolism and referring to maurice (& clover) as julien’s family, so much emphasis on being family it’s like…. makes me 😬 also i think there’s an unbalanced power dynamic which makes me 😬 too.

* random headcanon

I think Maurice should have an acid jazz band that plays Friday nights at the rat kingdom or something. Oh!!!! Wait…… his sister’s bar right??????????? Where he was Bricky sjdjosnsujdidowkakise I forgot. Anyway I think he should go have fun and keep the Bricky persona and have some aye-aye friends and idk a crocodile who play jazz together.

* unpopular opinion

are there Maurice unpopular opinions??? Hm maybe I don’t think tpom Maurice hates tpom kj & in fact he goes out of his way to do nice things for him. He’s often much meaner in words, but he still cares for kj!!!

I think the baby patch cannon is fun and I love what that brings to the table for maurice’s character, but in my heart he will always be like 10–15 yrs kj’s senior

[despiteherself]

Mort

pmgggg mort!!! im gonna focus on ahkj mort bc i rlly think he’s a different character to the movies & tpom. it’s funny mort is like 52 yrs old and also a soul stealing immortal but tpom mort is just a baby. a kid. sorry this took me ages

* favorite thing about them

brother knows what he’s about & then does it full heartedly on purpose and honestly… good for him. good for him. even it’s just that he’s a little weirdo, a creep if you will.

i actually love mort lore & i love when ppl find out about it like. yeah. it’s all true <3

* least favorite thing about them

i just don’t like that his mindscape is creepier than the actual horror movie it was based on. imagine being stanley kubrick and some poor dreamworks animation team writing an immortal soul stealing mouse lemur in a kid’s show that has a foot fetish manages to be creepier than you in 22 minutes than the whole of your movie you literally tortured a woman on set for. rip in piss.

* favorite line

NAKSKSJDKS joke answer: “I’d eat you King julien, yummy.” Bc the fucking scene makes me scream with laughter every single time. Kj’s FACE like >:( and how quickly the whole thing happens. Mort just fucking RUINS the moment sjrjekoekroekeoekoeieisoeowowowoow

I’m not sure a real answer? He’s got some pretty raw stuff in exiled & stuff when he’s talking to Grammy can get pretty fun/weird/etc

* brOTP

MORT & HANS 4 LIFE (death?)

* OTP

I don’t rlly ship him with anyone?

although the whole soap opera drama of hans’ wife thinking hans is cheating on him with mort so they can go to war or whatever was very funny. like the groaning the whole time and then morts like “ok i lichrally have no idea what you’re saying peace and love”

the plot line with zora was fun, but i’m glad she ditched him bc she deserved to have someone fall madly in love with her

* nOTP

i could have done with less whatever the hell the feet jokes were after a while. i get it was the joke but it was like. Ok the second hand embarrassment is killing me.

* random headcanon

I feel like I could never hope to come up with anything that’s wilder or funnier than what already exists in the show????

when hans & hans’ wife have another undead lemur baby they ask mort to be the godfather (or the show’s equivalent) and mort cries for like 3 days about it bc he’s so happy. julien may or may not nearly incite an Incident bc he’s jealous about the whole thing.

* unpopular opinion

mort lore is incredible and every time they had something to it I just…. Laugh so much. like god. it’s like the joke where somethings been dropped and the falling goes on much longer than possible/needed. even if some of the stuff is like….. okay no one ever needed to hear that thanks <3

[despiteherself]

Could you rate Willie too if you don't mind?

I do not mind at all!!!! I will rate every character if someone asks

10/10 good boy. has anxiety but is always down to party & im mad that the ?? joke they had about “except willie” got super mean in season 5. it was about the only long standing meme joke that got super annoying & petty. he’s like the only main side lemur that didn’t get a lot of screen time specifically and im mad about it. willie episode WHEN

[despiteherself]

I can't just scroll by now without asking you to rate Pancho. 👉👈

7/10 because he literally squealed two seconds after saying he wasn’t a rat ❤️ but it’s not lower bc bonus points for the incredibly funny slow “hoo-ah” in the etiquette episode when he and willie are drinking like sparkling water with their pinkies sticking out and calling kj the bell of the ball.

[despiteherself]

Would you rate Clover please?

9/10 perfect in every conceivable way, i jsut don’t like a british woman going on about class structure being good
