Those brief moments where we see Nduli next to/right behind Kiburi. It’s not all the time and I know the animators didn’t do it on purpose, but it’s adorable given my hc about their relationship. The fact that Nduli was the one sleeping next to Kiburi in the canyon makes me hc that he always slept next to him. That was his spot since childhood and he’s never changing that. And that small detail about him being the first to follow Kiburi, that’s little brother material right there
Not to mention the first thing Nduli said after Tamka agreed Thurston’s “advice” was legit
“We should tell Kiburi”
They get an idea of how to defeat the Lion Guard and Nduli IMMEDIATELY thinks of Kiburi. He was even on his way to tell him before Tamka stops him and I think that’s adorable
I’ve actually been watching clips of the penguins from the Madagascar franchise and I completely forgot about the wholesome sibling relationship between Skipper and Private, especially when Skipper’s like “cover the Private’s ears” cuz he doesn’t wanna ruin his innocence. That’s what Kiburi and Nduli’s relationship is like
Eddie uses petnames so much that they start to have more meaning to Steve than Steve.
When Eddie calls him baby, it means he’s soft, or he’s worried about Steve, “You okay, baby?” But babe is always casual. When Eddie’s handing him something, “Here, babe,” or with a peck on his lips, “Thanks, babe.” He calls him sweetheart when he’s teasing, “Oh you wish, sweetheart,” or when he’s being extra loving, extra sweet.
It’s not like Eddie never calls him Steve, but usually it’s something serious, or when there’s lots of strangers around, but most of the time he’s sweetheart and Stevie and big boy. He gets so used to the petnames that it throws him completely off when Eddie calls him Steve for no reason.
I want to read a ghost x single mom! Baker! reader where single mom has 2 kids, a baby and a 3 year old. the bakery is really big and one day simon comes in and he sees a little mini play bakery in the corner and a 3 year old girl comes in and is like "how I help you" and he asks for a black coffee and a croissant and he gets a tea cup filled with water and a toy croissant🥺 and reader comes in with a baby on her hip wondering why a customer is in the bakery when they're closed but she sees the sign still says open, and she hears Simon telling her daughter that the coffee and croissant is the best he ever has and gives the 3 year old $100 and Simon sees the reader and his heart just stops and reader is like I'm sorry you can have your money back and he's like no keep it start her college fund or something reader is like ok well how about you come in tomorrow and get a real black coffee and croissant and he's like but your closes tomorrow and reader is like nonsense I'll open shop just for you I have to do inventory anyways so come in I'll make you a fresh croissant and a black coffee on the house. So Simon comes in the next day and he sees the 3 year again and she gives him the water and toy croissant and single mom comes in and is like here is your real croissant and black coffee and when he takes a bite and a sip he's internally like I'm gonna make her my wife and her kids are my kids and he comes in everyday when the shop is open and the team notice his behavior and one day they follow ghost to the bakery and they see him holding a 4 month old baby and a 3 year old climbing him like a jungle gym and soap is like he has a secret family and he barges is the shop and is like LT! I DIDNT KNOW YOU HAVE A WIFE AND 2 CHILDREN and the 3 year old not knowing any better is like DADDY😄 and the baby's second word is dada😊 and reader is embarrassed and ghost is like yes I do and reader just dies from embarrassment cause like why would you say that and he just hands the baby back to reader and he kisses the reader and he says I'll be home for dinner (at this point he knows where reader lives) I gotta go back to work and reader is confused as all hell and baby is just babbling Dadadadada 😋.
