#kiburi’s rapping btw

[devilsrecreation]

Aiight, so a little update on this post: I decided that despite my lack of knowledge and experience on writing original songs (I usually write parodies lol), I’mma try to write Kiburi’s hypothetical verse in “Run this Dump”. I think his verse would sound something like this:

(spoken) Okay, if we’re gonna do this, we’re gonna do this my way

Yeah, I’m gonna run this dump

Starting with today

Cuz I’m running it the crocodile way

You guys are rocks, I’m a star shinin’ bright

And no offense, but you really can’t fight

I’ll run it by training you, I ain’t no amateur

Since all I see here are weak clumps of fur

Some thoughts on the Lion Guard cuz I’ve been watching clips of it again

Not to be dramatic or anything, but I would absolutely DIE over all the hyenas. Not just Janja or Jasiri, I mean ALL of the hyenas. Chungu, Cheezi, Nne, Tano, etc. Especially Tunu and Wema. They are my babies and I love them

And their designs are *chef’s kiss*

100% agree with the headcanon that Janja’s the son of Shenzi and Banzai and Cheezi is the son of Ed. As for Chungu…I like to think he just…appeared out of nowhere. Like baby Janja and baby Cheezi were playing and baby Chungu came out of nowhere and Janja was like “hi, yeah. You? You’re coming with us.”. Anyway, I like to think it’d be cool if Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed came back to the Outlands so they could tell the truth about what Scar did or something like that. I’d also love to see their reactions when they learn Simba has cubs now

Mzingo and his parliament absolutely raised Janja’s clan when their parents left to save themselves from Zira (as per a hc I saw about why they left). I love to think Shenzi went up to Mzingo and said something like “please watch over them. I don’t care how you do it, just make sure they’re all alive and he agreed

I just love Mzingo in general. Vultures are my favorite bird. Don’t get me wrong, Ono is great and all, but Mzingo is 👌👌👌👌👌

I know it’s been said before, but they did Ushari so dirty. Not trying to excuse him for giving Kion a scar, I’m just saying I get it. He got sick of being trampled on and disrespected and when he tries to get some by listening to Scar’s (most likely false) promises, he dies by falling in lava. They reformed all the other outlanders, why not Ushari? They could have had him see the error of his ways and go back to being neutral but noooooo. And he was one of my favorite characters too!

I think I have a whole new respect for reptiles now cuz what they did with all the crocodiles. Love the redemption arc with Makuu, love Kiburi and how he’s voiced by a rapper, and Pua’s basically the most chill croc I have ever seen. I wish we got more scenes with Pua cuz he’s awesome. I like to think he’s doing just fine though. He’s a tough croc.

Kiburi saying “I don’t sing” during the song “Run this dump” makes me wonder if he doesn’t want to or if he can’t sing…or maybe cuz he thinks he’s too cool. Having said that, I love to imagine that he prefers to rap and absolutely KILLS it. Honestly, I bet all crocodiles rap. Because how cool would a crocodile rap battle be?

Call me crazy but there is no way Ushari and Kiburi didn’t have something going on

Okay ya’ll hear me out…..what if Kenge, the rock monitor lizard, isn’t as bad as he seems? I’ve said before that there has to be some trauma like intense bullying that makes him the way he is, but he seems like the type to be super chill when you get on his good side. As long as you don’t say anything about his height, you’ll be fine. Respect him and he’ll respect you…unless he’s hungry.

Also hc that Ushari was Kenge’s only friend and he still thinks about him after he died. He was the only animal who ever understood him

I got more headcanons about him btw

As tough as all the reptiles are, there’s got to be a soft spot somewhere

The jackals have grown on me. I love the Cosmo and Wanda dynamic Rerei and Goigoi have. Also Dogo is cute enough to commit war crimes over

Not me trying to figure out what kind of scorpion Sumu is cuz he has a big stinger, but also big pincers. If I’m not mistaken, scorpions with big stingers and small pincers are more venemous than the ones with big pincers and small stingers. I think he’s a hybrid of some sort…or maybe it’s me overthinking idk. His voice is cool tho

The villains in the later seasons are okay, but you really gotta appreciate how accurate Ora (the komodo dragon) is. You know how dangerous and hostile komodos are in real life? They literally dig up human remains and eat them. If that’s not villain-worthy, I don’t know what is

I love Mama Binturong. She’s such a queen. Love the whole evil badass grandma/mob boss vibe going on

Is it me or is it weird that there are no African wild dog characters? I know there are a few paintings of them but not an actual character.

Because there’s a lot of animals who hate Bunga, it’d be funny if they all tried ganging up on Bunga for revenge while he’s on a date with Binga and it’s like

Binga: *seeing Kenge* Who’s that?

Bunga: …He doesn’t like me

Binga: *seeing Makucha’s crew* Who’s that?

Bunga: They don’t like me either

*Ushari’s ghost appears as the rest of Bunga’s enemies surround them*

Binga: Who’s that?!

Bunga: LET’S JUST ASSUME EVERYONE HERE DOESN’T LIKE ME-
