Will this always be just an arrangement We'll find out in time if we don't break it

I'm not one to join trends, but Tiktok is not the one for media literacy, specially when songs become popular.

In this case, this song (as if you did a little bit of research), is about the marriage arrangement between Joseph and Mary for the benefits of both their faimilies, and how if they are both not exactly "in love" with each other, they are going to try to make things work.

And i think it fits Rani's and Kion's relationship. Sure, Rani proposed to Kion, but then it probably hit her how big of a responsibility she was putting on herself and Kion, their respective freedom in perill. But Kion is here to reassure her that they are a team and it's up to them to grow together, even if they are stuck.

Also this was meant for International Asexual Day since my Kion is Asexual!

Was recently browsering through my DA gallery and found this piece and simply couldn't help but remake this one with smol Mali instead hHH <3

While I was making this piece, I remembered a time when my father and I went outside at dawn just before the sun just started to rise and watched it, for me, still a child, it was so magical to see the dark blue sky turn to a orange-ish pink shade - I wanted to give that experience to Mali somehow, so probably this will be the inspired lore for this image.

TLG: Final 10 Episodes Sketch Dump

September 2nd once again fell on a Labor Day, like it once did when the final 10 episodes of TLG dropped on WatchTLG (due to its early release on the old DisneyNOW app). The alignment of the exact day, month, and holiday five years later put me in the spirit to sketch away as I rewatched these episodes.

I was there when the countdown on the WatchTLG site had about an hour left. I hadn't seen a full episode of TLG until that point because I at the time thought I wouldn't be into it. I saw the synopses for these episodes leaked somewhere online and was doubtful yet VERY hopeful that the one with Vitani's Lion Guard was going to be a real episode simply because I wanted to see her in new content, regardless of my familiarity with the show.

When I binge-watched these final episodes with a friend, my relationship with the show improved as I went to watch the rest of the show over the next few months. I was so grateful to see so much content and worldbuilding for the TLK universe

Sketch descriptions under the cut:

1. Friends to the End

I've said this before in a review of this episode, but whether or not the writers intended this, their portrayal of irritability brought on by an anxiety attack is astounding. Kion's anxiety is piled up more and more when he's in a hurry to find a cure at the Tree of Life, Bunga repeatedly tells him he's becoming like Scar, and the rest of the group just "blind leading the blind"-in their journey SO badly because they're a bunch of unsupervised freshman-aged kids who are in their "Well I wouldn't go THAT far" or "Can I be the devil's advocate" phase.

This situation of fearing becoming like a shitty family member and being told you are by people when you're already in a vulnerable state is just SO vile and unfortunately so real. I found myself relating hard to this episode due to Kion's valid af anger in this episode, which is why I had to draw Kion claiming his "Don't you just wanna go apeshit??" era.

Kion is basically me throughout this episode and the entire first half of Season 3. It is SO HARD to get through this season sometimes when these same couple of lines keep coming at least once per episode. As soon as I hear Fuli saying "Uhh... Kion?" or "KION!!" I know exactly what's coming.

2. The Tree of Life:

Since we never get to see Sahasi and Ananda's color palettes they had in life, I took what I could make out from their spirit forms as well as some creative liberties, and came up with what they may have looked like on Earth.

Ananda is where Baliyo gets his freckles and dull, dark pelt, and where Rani gets her purple pupils, red nose, and dark tail. Sahasi is where Rani gets her richer pelt and where Baliyo gets his nose gradient, multicolored mane, and lighter tail color.

Fun Fact: According to some email responses from a member of the team who worked on TLG, they said that Sahasi was meant to be Janna's son, which for me, puts an end to a debate I had in my head where I was stuck between either him or Ananda being Janna's child: On one hand, I liked the idea of Sahasi and Surak being the foils of Mufasa and Scar, but also liked the idea of Ananda as Janna's daughter and heir since they looked so alike, as well as it solidifying the martriarchy headcanon I have for the Night Pride. Though the team member didn't straight-up provide Sahasi's relation to Janna and Surak as an absolute fact, rather it was simply the gist they got from the creation of Sahasi's character, it's an answer from a team member at all, which I can absolutely settle with. I decided to give him a similar fur color to Surak because of that.

3. The River of Patience:

I just HAD to doodle eepy Kion. It's like the one part of this episode that sticks with me outside the wholesome therapy dynamics and Kion heroically holding the flower between his teeth. This is basically him but if he fully succumbed to falling asleep waiting for the log.

4. Little Old Ginterbong:

Can I just say that I fucking LOVE Mama Binturong's character?? She's absolutely insane and constantly looks like an addict that needs her fix. She makes me nostalgic for some reason, and I think it's gotta do with her Mama Gunda vibes (which is odd because I wasn't even that young when I saw Tarzan II). I had to draw her doing the thing lol

5. Poa the Destroyer:

All I could think about throughout this episode besides the rare Evil Beshte is how insufferable Pinguino is. I mean it in kind of a good way, his personality is so ridiculous that he's made me laugh a few times.

6. Long Live the Queen:

Surprisingly, the sketch regarding this episode is probably the least expected subject matter out of anything I could've put here: An idea that's been forming in my head for a bit now was the idea of Bunga and Binga continuing the fostering/babysitting business of Bunga's "uncles". Bunga is shown to be a natural with young animals in a few episodes, and it continues in the subplot of this episode where he watches over Varya's cubs.

7. The Lake of Reflection:

The one thing that viscerally stuck with me in this episode was the unbelievably cute design they gave bby Cheezi. Had to sketch him.

8. Triumph of the Roar:

Obligatory Askari sketch because I actually love drawing him and making headcanons of his era. Looking back... he kinda looks like he's looking down at the events of the bottom drawing in slight disappointment.

9. Journey to the Pride Lands:

Drew Azaad (for what I think might be the first time) with the only thing he seemed to be doing throughout this episode -- taking any opportunity he can to comment about how much better cheetahs are at basically everything. He's fun to draw and I'd like to do more art of him one day.

10. Return to the Pride Lands

This is a sketch of what I deadass thought was gonna happen during this scene the first time I saw this episode lmao. At the time, the previous two episodes were fresh on my mind so I thought Kion was once again going to spam his tornado ability, but with Vitani as his subject for his demonstration. She already knew so little of the Roar as it was, given her absence throughout most of TLG's storyline, but could you imagine what she must've been thinking seeing how much Kion's Roar evolved?

Decided to do a Twitter trend with characters from The Lion Guard.

BTW "kinyeshi" means "crap" in Swahili.

Kion as a zebra

The point of the lion guard to me is the diversity of the team and I thought it would be interesting to flip this on its head a bit, as in making Kion an adopted prey animal. It forces the royal family to acknowledge a double standard in how prey animals are treated in the pridelands. Kion knows what happened to his parents but he’s a member of the royal family and thus cannot connect with other zebras. It creates a very complicated dynamic between Kion and his adopted family

Disney would NEVER but it’s a good thing I’m not Disney 😀

[magimerlyn]

Leona has a lion head tattoo on his bicep, is this a potential reference to the Lion Guard TV show, where the second born child of the king of the Pridelands would be made the leader of the Lion Guard, (Kion in the show, but it is confirmed that the previous leader of the Lion Guard was Scar) essentially a royal guard group that protected the Pridelands and dealt with individual citizen's issues?

The leader of the Lion Guard would also have a power in their roar, Kion's is usually shown pushing enemies away, Leona’s Unique Magic is called King's Roar, am I reading too far into this, I mean the Lion Guard was a Disney Jr. Show that only lasted like 3 seasons iirc

Considering Leona never seems to talk about any particular responsibilities he has back home, and I don’t think he'd be so bitter if he had the position (but then again, Scar was still bitter and lost his position as head of the Lion Guard when he used the Roar on his team, it's been a while since I saw the show so I don't remember what the reasoning was for it)

Here's what Kion and his mark look like:

I remember the show definitely feeling almost like a "this is the life Scar could have lived" sort of deal, sort of like Leona is, but like I said it's been like 5-ish years since I saw it. It did have some good music though, Tonight We Strike, Sisi ni Sawa, the Worst Hyena we Know, and A New Way to Go were all really fun.

TLDR; Leona has a lion head tattoo that makes me think of the Lion Guard

Kion and Fuli are so Danny Fenton and Sam Manson coded

[musenilla]

‘Right where you left me.’

Old art of Kion and Jasiri!! Was collecting dust in my files so might as well share it. In my headcanon they are clooseee like they tell each other everything about their adventures, new friends and themselves. Jasiri was taken back when he left unannounced to stay at the tree of life. He returned years later to ask for help but she aint having it. Idk an AU ig cause I just wanted to draw my fav crackship 😭
