SHUT UP CALLUM PUT HIS PINKY DOWN SO HE COULD GIVE RAYLA A HIGH FOUR
get to know me meme: [4/10] formative favourites ↦ The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride (1998)
Sometimes what’s left behind can grow better than the generation before.
I think the saddest part of The Lion King 2 is this scene right here.

Zira is presenting her son to be used as meat. And, yes, it’s a mind game- she knows he won’t do it- but Kovu doesn’t. You can see it in his eyes; he honestly thinks he’s going to die.
He truly believes his mother is going to let him perish at the claws of the king. He truly believes Simba is capable of killing a cub. And no one will stop him.

Simba examines Zira, trying to figure if she’s serious or not. She’s just spouted off how Kovu is the prince, the heir to King Scar, and now she’s offering him as food.

Zira smiles, because she knows he’s too “weak” to end Kovu’s life. And, even if he accepts, what’s there to lose? She and her lionesses will have access to the Pridelands, and she can rule in Scar’s place, once they destroy Simba. She’ll even have just cause; the killing of her adopted cub.

Simba’s disgust is palatable. He has a daughter; he can’t understand how callous Zira is to the death of her son.

It’s all he can do to turn away and let this go on, because Zira is not part of his pride, and he can’t intervene.
“only a lot. you’re still breathing too hard. relax. feel the earth under your paws, so it doesn’t shift and make noise.”

Tumblr gonna have a field day with this.
(in all seriousness though, I already love Jasiri. Total BAM).
Not your Ordinary Family
I love this family so much!
I was listening to We are Family by Keke Palmer from the Ice Age: Continental Drift. I just thought it fit so well!
You have Timon who is the adoptive father of Simba, which makes him Kiara and Kion’s adoptive grandpa. Pumbaa who is the uncle (since he and Timon have a brotherly relationship) that Simba never had, which makes him the adoptive great uncle to Kion and Kiara. And Bunga is Simba’s cousin/brother since he’s the adopted nephew of Timon and Pumbaa plus they have a brotherly bond. Which also makes Bunga kind of like an uncle of Kion and Kiara too XDD
I’ve been wanting to draw Nala for a while and added Kiara and little Kion as well 💕
