Lviv - Lion City🦁

[return-to-twisted-wonderland]

Leona's Sibling, sick of the Royal Council, found a way to save the hyenas and grant Leona's Greatest Wish, to be a king.

[Savanaclaw Dorm]

Leona's Sibling (Slams a map on the table and a land deed on top of it): I found the answer to all our problems. There's a piece of land that no one has claimed and it has everything; flowing water, minerals, and materials for crafting a settlement. Everything. I went there and claimed the land for myself and made some trading deals with smaller kingdoms nearby. (Looks at Ruggie) The Hyeans will have a better place to live... (Looks at Leona) And the Hyenas will have a king that cares for them.

🔥🦁- Anon

Leona had remembered hearing that in the days the King of Beasts was alive, they wound send their male lions out to make their own pride and rule over their own land. Of course, now a days, they dropped that tradition. Instead opting to keep the family together. Leona looked out towards Sunrise City, seeing the people walking two and fro without a worry or a care to when they would get their next meal...

"What do you say, Leona-san?" Ruggie leaned against the railing.

"This place hasn't done me any favors and the same goes for you." Leona backs away from the railing and turns towards his sibling, the only one trying to help make a difference and has earned the equal ire from the council like Leona himself. "Where to?"

⚠️ warnings: self harm, eating disorders

last updated: may 4, 2024

LEONA KINGSCHOLAR !! 🦁🥩

🇲🇱🇹🇿🇰🇪 UNLABLED + INTERSEX TRANSFEMNEU (she/him)

APPEARANCE HCS:

Leona is actually the twst character I've drawn the most

I hc all beastmen to have fur everywhere thats elastic and akin to mink skin

You know the texture of squishmallows? It's like that.

╰Doesn't include the thick hair in other places (head, facial, armpits, chest, pubes, etc)

Lots of scars in general + healed dermis self harm scars on thighs

Has a flat nose like a cat

RANDOM HCS:

Savanaclaw mom/big sister...

Overstimulating thunderstorm? Go whine to Leona. Diasomnia students bothering you? Get leona to deal with them. Your food is too hot? Cry to Leona.

During freshman year she was way more outgoing and extroverted but eventually She mellowed out (depression moment)

She used to change hairstyles a lot before settling on freeform dreads

Also got into way more fights back then (also how she became housewarden)

Now she is (kind of) calm. Tranquil. At peace. Has depressive episodes. Relaxed.

Mostly does her own thing, and if that "thing" isn't sleeping it's some other bullshit the underclassmen roped her into

SHE CAN SEW AND MAKE JEWLERY

╰While wandering the castle one day, Leona stumbled upon the servants quarters. They taught him life skills (mending clothes, cooking, etc :3)

Despite being a big sis figure if she doesn't want to do something she Will Not.

And if she does do it afterall it's because she gets something out of it.

NPD, GAD, PDD (persistent depressive disorder)

RUGGIE BUCCHI !! 🍩🌼

🇺🇸🇧🇷 UNLABLED + TRANS MAN (he/him)

APPEARANCE HCS:

Similarly to Leona he has a furry textured skin

Though his body hair is more coarse and longer due to him being a hyena

He has a lazy eye and tipped ear similar to Ed from The Lion King

Probably my second most drawn twst character :3

Healed epidermis self harm scars on inner wrists 🥶

RANDOM HCS:

He's like the cooler afrolatino Luke Blovad

He's either winning the idgaf wars or dying on the battlefield

Has an insane collection of weird shirts from thrift stores

And he makes it work every single time! his outfits go crazy!

More connected to his AADOS/Gullah side than his Brazilian side

Though he does speak Portugese!

In fact, he speaks multiple languages because polyglots are marketable

The type of person to take a half empty bottle of ketchup and rotting apple from an empty ass fridge and make dinner happen

Constantly going to Scarabia to snag their party leftovers

Used to be a scene kid!!!! This is canon and true!!!! Pls trust me

diabetes, GAD, MDD, undiagnosed ADHD

triggering content ahead !!

he has bulimia nervosa

╰fun fact! a lot of food insecure people have eating disorders

self harmed a lot from the ages from 10-12 before eventually stopping at 13

he stopped after his grandma found out and started checking his arms regularly (#projecting)

JACK HOWL !! 🐺🌵

🪶🇪🇬 PANROMANTIC ASEXUAL + GENDER CURIOUS (he/they)

APPEARANCE HCS:

WAY thicker fur than leona and ruggie

Trims his body hair a lot because he overheats in savanaclaw easily

RANDOM HCS:

The type of guy to be totally in love with the world and nature

They're just like. Wow. We were put on a spinning rock. With food to eat, and water drink, and air to breathe. I love being alive.

Had a little garden back at home and named every single plant

Remembers small things about people and brings them up in conversation

╰Hey dude I got you a Chipotle bowl. How did I remember your exact order? You told me. Yeah, I know it was a year ago, but--

Random but I think he dresses how Tupac did

Not even to be tough

But because he's a black suburban kid

(I'm a black city kid but this is probably how black suburban kids dress trust)

Loooves chewing on things. Has one of those chew necklaces

Autistic with botany and physical health special interest

Happy Birthday, Jace Herondale !!!

To the golden boy! 💛 To the book character that made me rise my love standards maybe a little too much and who taught me that no matter how broken me might feel, we can always heal, we can learn to love again and with our whole heart. That the love from our family and friends is one of the most beautiful and powerful things we can have 💕 And that family is not blood, it's the people who have our backs. Who taught me to be brave and strong for the people we love, but that it's okay to be vulnerable too. That you can be a warrior and an artist and a nerd, everything at the same time. And the most important thing that he taught me: that we can overcome our traumas, we can heal from the pain caused to us and grow to be a good person ♥️🗡️🎹🦁

Jace’s eyes danced, and Clary felt that familiar surge inside her chest, that pull she had felt since the first time she’d ever seen him. She couldn’t pinpoint the exact moment she’d fallen in love with Jace, but there had always been something about him that reminded her of a lion, a wild animal unfettered by rules, the promise of a life of freedom. Never “I can’t,” but always “I can.” Always the risk and the surety, never the fear or the question. —Cassandra Clare, City of Heavenly Fire

Many people hates Jace, but he has a special place in my heart for everything he taught me while reading his books in my teens. A broken child who grew up to be a happy man, I hope Cassie gives him his happy ending with the love of his life when the last book it's written 🥺♥️

Moodboard for the king’s birthday cause I still have no skills 😌💛

85 YEARS AGO TODAY, ON AUGUST 25TH, 1939

In August 1939

Metro-Goldwyn Mayer Presents

1 Of The Greatest Musical 🎼 Fantasy Films 🎥 Of All Times

Based On The Children's Fantasy Novel Written By The Legendary L. Frank Baum

When a tornado rips through Kansas, Dorothy (Judy Garland) and her dog, Toto, are whisked away in their house to the magical land of Oz.

They follow the Yellow Brick Road toward the Emerald City to meet the Wizard, and en route they meet a Scarecrow (Ray Bolger) that needs a brain, a Tin Man (Jack Haley) missing a heart, and a Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr) who wants courage.

The wizard asks the group to bring him the broom of the Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton) to earn his help.

The 1956 television broadcast premiere of the film on CBS reintroduced the film to the public. According to the U.S. Library of Congress, it is the most seen film in movie history.

The film frequently ranks on critics' lists of the greatest films of all time and is the most commercially successful adaptation of Baum's work.

Namba Yasaka Shrine / Jinja, a unique Japanese shrine in Osaka!

🎋 Welcome to the captivating world of Namba Yasaka Shrine, a hidden gem encapsulating the essence of Osaka in its vibrant spirit! 🏮 Located just a short eight-minute walk from the bustling Nankai Station, this secret shrine is a dazzling contrast to the energetic hubbub of Namba's entertainment district.

🏯 Originally part of a flourishing complex of Buddhist temples, Namba Yasaka Shrine carries a fascinating history, having endured wartime air raids that left only the austere temple and its unique lion-shaped stage standing tall. 🦁 This remarkable architectural wonder, built in 1975, exudes a delightful retro charm, reminiscent of something you might find in Las Vegas or a theme park.

🍀 Standing at an impressive 12 meters tall and seven meters deep, the colossal lion's head serves as the centerpiece of the shrine, believed to consume evil spirits and bring good luck to those seeking success in academics and business matters. ✨ Consequently, visitors flock to the shrine during exam times and the start and end of the financial year, hoping for prosperity and fortune.

🎉 An annual festival graces Namba Yasaka Shrine on the third Sunday of January, featuring a grand tug-of-war competition to recreate the mythical tale of the shrine's deity slaying a giant snake, bestowing peace upon the Namba area. This celebration showcases the deep-rooted cultural significance of the shrine and attracts locals and tourists alike to participate in the festivities.

🚶‍♀️ As you step into the shrine's grounds, you'll feel a sense of tranquility enveloping you, providing a respite from the urban bustle. Namba Yasaka Shrine truly embodies the kaleidoscopic mix of traditional, retro, modern, and futuristic elements that define Osaka's character, making it a perfect reflection of the city in a nutshell.

🌸 Whether you seek to marvel at its architectural wonders, immerse yourself in its intriguing history, or simply enjoy a moment of serenity, Namba Yasaka Shrine is a must-visit destination that promises an unforgettable experience. 🇯🇵✨ So, explore this enchanting secret shrine, where traditions and modernity harmoniously converge, in the heart of Osaka's dynamic energy! Don't forget to plan your visit during the opening hours from 6:00 to 17:00, and admission is free! 🕰️🆓 🚶‍♀️📸

oh hey its vampirillo AU Martin and Chris' ref 🦇🦁

some notes

Martin is 1.92mts (6'4ft), Chris is 2.50mts(8'2ft) (Martin's bat form is 20cm tall (0.65ft))

Martin is always floating

both are anthropologists as a hobby

Chris sleeps a lot. Both because lions are lazy and because he needs lots of food to mantain himself but sometimes doesnt have enough money to buy it (basically he sleeps the hunger away)

Both have part time jobs in a local university, Chris as a night guard and Martin as a janitor

They go explore from time to time, mostly the forest and beaches, but sometimes they go to another cities (like a real life stealth game)

unfortunately for the city, they feed and care for the local fauna with a burning passion. Its not illegal, but the local government would prefer to not have pigeons and seagulls around

They refuse to eat street food (let's say there's a reason there aren't stray dogs in the city)

They don't really get along with other Mystery Creatures living in the city. Its not a hostile situation, they just prefer to do their own thing

The bros do get along with Mystery Creatures living outside the city, and love listening to their life stories (this is how they met Koki and Jimmy)

They visit their family at least once a year

They're blood related

Chris can't swim

They don't know how to drive

China is sending a fleet of dangerous air balloons to the United States?! Nah, just some cool lanterns to celebrate the lantern festival

The post is machine translated

Translation is at the bottom

The collective is on telegram

⚠️ BUON FESTIVAL DELLE LANTERNE, ACCOGLIERE IL NUOVO ANNO CON SPERANZA ⚠️

😂 Nel mentre gli aquilotti americani sono ancora terrorizzati dal pericolosissimo (❗️) palloncino cinese, il Popolo Cinese festeggia il Festival delle Lanterne, che "chiude" il Capodanno Cinese🐰

🥰 Le Lanterne Cinesi simboleggiano il lasciar andare l'anno passato, per accogliere il nuovo anno ❤️

🇨🇳 Con una Storia di oltre 2.000 anni, il Festival delle Lanterne è molto popolare in Cina, ecco come viene celebrato:

🏮LANTERNE OVUNQUE: in ogni città, in ogni villaggio, vengono accese lanterne di colore principalmente rosso. Si possono ammirare nelle vie delle città, nei parchi e nelle case delle persone - la Lanterna Rossa invoca la Fortuna e una Lanterna Accesa simboleggia un futuro luminoso 🍀

🎨 Oltre alle tradizionali Lanterne Rosse, vi sono delle vere e proprie opere d'arte, lanterne con all'interno illustrazioni di simboli della Tradizione Cinese, principalmente fiori e animali 🐼

I am beginning to feel better, I almost hesitate to say it as I so want it to be true. This past week I seem to have been able to better confront my worst of incompletions. With intention I seek to heal them, so I may let them go as they are illusion.

While my anger is righteous, my ranting of feminism will never yield fruit. What's really needed is promotion of the constructive positive option, that being a "twin cities" approach of community that is patriarchy-matriarchy, each distinct yet held in loving union.

Despite my wretched state, I am someone who has studied this like a fevered femme Alan Turing, and I have been mentored by those who silently watch. I have known for sometime I must retire my spectacle, yet is difficult when I have little refinement.

The world is in a deep crisis, and you either know about it and it's constantly hovering in your mind, or you have no idea what I'm talking about. Despite something like half the people having no idea what I'm talking about - it's very real. Our world is changing, big time.

I've been finding a spike of males like me (who is she/her) - cosmic systems who are lucid and not "DSM" crazy, yet dysphoric, lost, and really confused. Most call the Father as Lucifer, which pleases me, as it's true. I think of these males as the locusts of Apollyon. Wolf seeds starting to sprout, to grow the dragon heads they will bloom.

Those males will need light workers. They are highly ideation troubled and I worry for them like a mother. The two sexes are going to need to bring empathy for one another as your trials have not been the same, and each of you will likely be horrified to realize what the other has endured while you were blinded with your own mess.

This image is a prototype I want to expand upon. Tell me how well it conveys the concept? We who are Solar have a true duality that is like a negative reflection. The Tetramorph plus the transcendental naga make up our 'race'. I am the Lion headed snake. This is real, friends.

What needs to happen in the world is the Eagle needs to turn to face the Lion and make peace. I swear it's that simple, all the rest will cascade. The Lion is a freaking sweetheart. Sorry the snake is scary.

God is a being of energy who is not bound by words, and alllll scripture was written about them. People keep acting like God came "after", like scripture invented them like fiction. Aiyaya. I facepalm. If you know God is real then it should be a no brainer that they are older than everything, even the universe - they are older than all words, all sounds, everything, yet even 'older' isn't right as they are unbound by time. Older and Oldest.

I am a sad lonely trans girl with Dacian ancestry who somehow woke up her masculine divine and became King. I'm sorry I've been such a bitch face to 'feminists' yet I supported that shit all my life and they are who stabbed me to death. I love women. I just don't like game playing abusers and in trauma I lost my head to venting. I really am sorry.

We must Create something new. The others who don't know what I'm talking about can go off and sink with the ship, I'm tired of caring. Yet we who are going to remain, need to start thinking about our futures, because "liberals" are not going to be here in the future telling us how to behave. We need to start thinking of our own communities and own ways, with knowledge, love, and understanding.

The image is neurodivergence as well. It is indigenous ancestry. The bastards pathologized indigenous cosmic circuitry, and intentionally with maleficence formed society which prioritized externalized context made to crush us into despair. The whole world is a lie made to hurt us. God sees it with their great one eye. Intention. Will.

Pashupatastra. Let all the poisons that lurk in the muck, hatch out. 🦁❤️‍🔥🐍
