YOOOOOOOOO KIARA/VITANI???? That was like one of my first baby ships holy shit you just punted me back into my childhood
My first unknowing shipper experience was probably me going
"OMG Kiara smiled at Vitani!! OHHH AAAHHHH VITANI SAID KIARA'S NAME AAAGHGHGHHGHGHGHGHG"
that was it. that was all I needed. Now here I am decades later, still wandering over to youtube and hopefully scrounging for any possibly new kiara/vintai amvs. I'll never be free <3
something something the daughters of leaders of two prides at war, both trained from childhood to follow in their parent's paw prints but they're the only two lions here who seem to see the bigger picture and CARE about it more than the personal stuff, more than their safety or their own happiness. One of them reaches out to offer peace, and the other one (who is the MOST warlike) hears her, and risks everything by reaching back
"But they-"
"Them? Us. Look at them, they are us. What difference do you see?"
.....
"Vitani! NOW!"
"No, mother! ....Kiara's right. Enough."
oh wow i wonder why little kid me kept kicking their heels over this tiny bit of dialogue hmmm it's a complete (coughGAYcoughcough) mystery~
also bloodthirsty warrior lady + dorky wise princess is a huge GAY mood for me apparently. amazing
#lion king 2#vitani lion king#kiara lion king#vitani/kiara#.#..#kid me brainstormed a whole AU where kovu was a lot younger than vitani and kiara and his brainwashing was a lot more tragic#after watching kiara and vitani meet bc of both looking out for him as cubs#and bonding over that#kiara as this new big-sister figure who ISN'T pushing for training or violence and never yells or snarls-#cub vitani stuck between believing kovu is the only hope for their pride and wanting her little brother to be happy actually#kiara knows the outlands are dangerous but keeps visiting kovu and kovu's adorably snarky older sister#nuka (supposed babysitter) knows sOMETHING is going on but vitani manages to keep him off the track for a long while#until one day she's too busy having fun with kiara too#and then nuka sees his chance#kill a pridelander cub and bring it to mother- won't she be PROUD#vitani's still got the best reflexes of the siblings though so she jumps in between them#oooooh kid me wanted ANGST wanted vitani scared by a shocked and furious nuka and then nuka scarred by tiny enraged kiara's little claws#i don't think kid me ever figured out what happened next#something about kovu being twisted by zira and nuka to blame the whole thing on a trick / trap by kiara#and vitani letting it happen so kovu would go off on kiara#hopefully keeping them both safe by putting a stop to the little meetings...#but they all grow up and if the scars don't fade neither do the feels or memories and blah blah blah GAY GAY GAY
