#tho it is kind of the shit I struggle with of like

[whencartoonsruletheworld]

ok so according to wikipedia, live-action!mufasa sees the pride lands as his Great Valley™ which is. a choice. but like imagine with me

sarabi is a stray lion cub growing up with this backstory after her parents were killed, clinging onto hope for a better future. the lions in her adoptive pride think she's crazy and no one believes her, even her bestie zira

suddenly these two male lions show up, injured. sarabi secretly takes care of them cause she knows the presence of new lions will piss off zira's dad, the king. they explain that they're mufasa and taka (obvs), two princes from a kingdom over the mountains, they came on a diplomatic mission to meet with the lions who live up there but it turned out to be a trap in order to use them as a bargaining chip against their father

Kimba the Mads Mikkelsen wants to take over the pride lands, but he knows they have superior numbers, so he's trying to outsmart the king. he already killed anyone who was with mufasa and taka except for. idk zazu. anyway his lions go after mufasa and taka and wipe out zira's pride in the struggle.

zira and sarabi flee with these boys who promise to take them home with them and help them defeat the Kimba Pride. zira is really focused on the vengeance aspect and gets a hero-worship of taka

and then they get to the pride lands and sarabi realizes?? it's the place she's been dreaming about this entire time??? the place her parents promised to her? and not only does she get to LIVE HERE but she might've missed this had she not been kind to these stray lions? AND NOW SHE'S IN LOVE WITH THE FUTURE KING??

zira and taka scheme to betray the others to the Kimbas tho, taka because he thinks he should be in charge and has some daddy issues and zira goes with him cause she thinks he knows best and mufasa is to blame for her pride dying

they switch back mid-fight but it's enough that sarabi renounces zira and mufasa's like "taka what the fuck. we're calling you scar now you stupid bitch"

and idk maybe ahadi dies in the battle which makes mufasa king

now that i think about it, it would kinda fuck if zira didn't join mufasa's pride at first, bonded with some other stray lionesses in the meantime, and then joined up with scar's pride once he was in charge and sarabi couldn't do shit about it. so when scar fell she flipped her shit, not wanting to be a stray again and still hero-worshipping this guy and riding the ego trip of him appointing her cub as his heir so she tries to stage a coup.

sarabi gets killed defending kiara but begs simba to show mercy to the lioness she was once so close to, so simba just exiles her instead of fucking murdering her

and now we didn't have to retcon mufasa's entire backstory and family line AND we have backstories for characters who didn't have them before AND it's a feminism win

disney if you ever wanna do a traditionally animated film again, i will sell this idea for the low low price of one (1) american girl doll. AND you need to admit shadow the hedgehog is better than you. it is 1am and i think you can tell

anyway i've come to the conclusion that the mufasa prequel story would've made 1000x more sense if it was a sarabi and zira prequel. but disney would've never had the BALLS

[toytulini]

me, stupidly and weirdly resistant to listening to audio books vs reading a physical book for no real reason: man i wish there was a way to like, read a book while i crochet like i do with tv shows and movies and podcasts

[sydmarch]

it was so stupidly difficult to find any nutritionist who has experience with arfid & takes insurance so after having to go through all these referrals my therapist sent me & jumping through hoops I lowkey hate the lady lmao feels like such a waste of time & energy

[schizowitchic]

also like i partially found out i might be intersex because i was looking at trans stuff and there was like "(however many) months on t and finally seeing some bottom growth" and like pictures of t-dicks and i was like.... um.... that's kind of just what my clit looks like anyways. so i was like "hey google give me a quick rundown on this" and learned what clitoromegaly was and then i was like. hm. intersex resources. and it's like a sign? symptom? side-effect? of certain intersex conditions

pray for me i'm about to volunteer to run a game for a bunch of strangers (probably kids)... in German

[nyerusnova]

still thinking about how in the gotham knights video game it's implied that tim ignores his friends heartfelt condolences after bruce's death and instead decides he's going to go look for moth man

(and conner's the only one who replies with "lmfao yeah dude lets fuckin do it")

[renegadeknight]

ooooo so interested in Treacherous!!

Okay this one is still very much an outline/mess of notes so I don't have any snips to share and it's probably the one I'm most shy about, idk why exactly, just feels like it would be less interesting to other people, so I'm just vibing by myself lol.

Anyway! It is an Anna!Lives AU where she ends up as a FEDRA lab rat for ~10 years and escapes right after Marlene finds and sends Ellie off with the fireflies. So then Joel and Tess take Anna to try to catch up at the state house but they miss them. Tess still gets bit (sorry) and then it follows Joel and Anna across the country to try to track down Ellie and as they spend more time together Anna keeps telling him more and more about little Ellie from when they were together a few years before they got separated. By the time they catch up to Ellie, Joel's ready to level the hospital for a kid he hasn't even met, and her mother.

Fun fact, I actually mentioned this one in an earlier chapter of Stubborn Love. It's one of the books Ellie gets at the library 😁

Thank you for the ask!

aouuugh my uterus......

[orcelito]

You know, I used to be a genuinely nice person. I remember being a bleeding heart back when I was a young teenager. But over my elder teenage years, I just got so totally jaded. I think it killed half my heart or smth. Still working on getting all those emotions back. In the meantime, the kindness is a decision. I try my best.

Sometimes I spook myself out of wanting a kid but then I go out w my friends who have one and relax like “I do not live in suburbia the people who hate having children are reaping rewards in their McMansions”

kathy and raymond are equals in a way because they never have felt like equals with everyone else so it’s kind of like two wrongs make a right. raymond researches demonology, kathy researches social cues
