TLK: Breaking Traditions
"But, Queen Kiara..."
"I said no!" The golden lioness tried to contain her rage, but a growl managed to escape her throat. "My cubs have barely started going outside the cave, you are not deciding what they should be training on!"
"But it is time!" Replied the mandrill. "You and yer brother also start' yer training at dis age-"
"And our cubhood was robbed! I didn't have a say in the matter, not Kion. He was forced to be a soldier, I'm not repeating the same mistakes with my cubs".
Rafiki snorted. "It was not mistake. You were ready. Such is tradition. Such is da word of Da Lions of Da Past..."
Glaring at the old mjuzi, Kiara rolled her eyes. "I don't care what they say. I'm the Queen. This is my last word".
Something snapped on the mandrill. "How dare ya disrespect da ancestors! It was yer grandfather Mufasa who decided you and Kovu were together in da first place!"
It was too late for Rafiki to realize what he has revealed. He only regretted it when he had the sharp teeth of the Queen next to his face.
"... What did you just say?" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since The Roar is not a superpower in my lore, i needed to explain those "clouds" in the painting where Kovu explains what happened to Kion about the second movie. So those clouds are Mufasa blessing Kiara, although Rafiki hid something the deceased King only shared with him...

Hi Raven! Have you seen the Disney 100 Jack birthday card art that has been circulating around yet? Any thoughts on the paintings? I think I remember you mentioning that the portraits would be good for figuring out what inspirations more ambiguous characters like Jack were twisted from.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The idea that the background frames for the new birthday series would reveal the explicit Disney reference for each TWST boy was popular fandom speculation when Platinum Suit Jamil was initially teased, NOT something actually ever confirmed, stated, or even implied by official TWST sources. Some people were also speculating that maybe the background frames were just the respective G7 of each boy's dormitory. We only had Jamil to go off of at the time, which didn't give us a lot of clear information since Jamil is both very clearly twisted from Jafar but is also in Scarabia, a dorm which has also has Jafar as its representative from the Great 7.
Then Platinum Jacket Ace came out in late September and seemed to continue the pattern of "the background shows one image that shows direct inspiration for the TWST boy"; there were heart card soldiers in one frame, which is what Ace seems to be twisted from. This made a lot of fans hype to finally get character inspiration confirmation for more ambiguous characters like Jack (which has been an ongoing debate in the fandom for years now).
***Spoilers for the main story, as well as Jack's Platinum Suit initial art + related discussion below the cut!***
Tumblr media
... However, that ended up not being the case as soon as Jack's Platinum Suit card preview was released. Which brings us to today 😅 I think you see what the "issue" here is, right??? How can Jack, a wolf beastman, possibly be based on Rafiki, a baboon??? Mmmm, I don't have really anything to add regarding the actual frames? It is what it is, and though I will admit it got my hopes up when Jamil was first revealed, I also suspected it would be a long shot given how eclectic ("borrowing from many sources") some of the characters are.
I guess it was presumptuous for us to jump to a conclusion when we only knew about Jamil and even when we also knew about Ace; the problem is that two in a row doesn't make a pattern, just a coincidence. We need at least three to establish a pattern, and Jack here disrupts it. What we actually see here is that the frame to our left (the character's right) is likely just the painting the birthday boy chooses as a decoration for the Guest Room. (It is listed as “[Character’s] chosen painting” in Sam’s shop.) Alternatively, maybe some boys will have their character inspo if it is very clear (like how Jamil is twisted from Jafar) while the non-determinant characters like Ortho will get some other Disney character from the same film (ie Pain/Panic, the Fates, etc.) rather than a single specific inspo.
I think the TWST fandom is like... very fixated on picking ONE exact character that corresponds to each TWST boy just because the dorm leaders (ie the most iconic group in marketing) have clear inspirations. That expectation then gets extended to the rest of the cast, even though it's not true that everyone only takes inspiration from their own films--even the dorm leaders make references to and allude to various Disney properties. There's no harm in debating, having your own interpretation, or drawing parallels for fun, but it gets to a point where it's... fruitless??? To try to come to a firm conclusion on the subject. It may be less contentious to accept that some of the cast are a blend of inspirations, ideas, and motifs. Even the more "concrete" characters can functionally serve in multiple different roles or as correlates to many different Disney characters. Azul is twisted from Ursula, but he is also able to be Jamil's "Genie in the Lamp" (a line which Jamil actually uses to refer to Azul) for book 4. Vil is twisted from the Evil Queen, but he is the hero Hercules when he sacrifices his youth to rescue Idia from Tartarus. At the same time, you could argue that Ortho (who is very Pinocchio-esque, going from robot to "real boy"), also has Hercules traits and Vil is serving as a dual role as Megara, the damsel in distress. (More on that in this post!)
None of the TWST characters are bound to one movie or to the characters they're supposedly based off of, and this works to the IP's advantage. It allows each character to feel like their own person, not just a copy of or a reinvention of one Disney counterpart.

Welcome to Pride Rock Incorporated!
Tumblr media
Welcome to Pride Rock Incorporated: a human!AU of The Lion King where the circle of business never ends, and the only thing getting trampled is the competition.
Featuring:
Mufasa, the charismatic CEO, whose roars in board meetings are the only things louder than his impeccable tie collection.
Scar, the ambitious VP, whose scheming mind is as sharp as his wardrobe, turning every boardroom into a stage for his dramatic power plays.
Sarabi, Mufasa's efficient secretary, who handles the chaos with grace, effortlessly managing schedules and reigning over the office like the queen she is.
Zazu, the slightly uptight chief advisor, who embodies punctuality and protocol, bringing order one morning report at a time.
Rafiki, the mysterious head of HR, who weaves the threads of office harmony with a touch of enigmatic wisdom.
Timon and Pumbaa, the happy and hapless IT duo, bug-squashers extraordinaire whose motto is "Hakuna Ma-data" until the server crashes yet again.
Simba, Mufasa's curious 7-year-old with a penchant for exploring, who turns the office into his personal playground and treats every memo as a canvas for crayon masterpieces.
And more!
Confession time: This entire escapade originated from a series I'm crafting on AO3, in which Scar turns up the charm dial to eleven and flirts incessantly with Zazu while Zazu fails spectacularly in his attempt to remain unflustered.

When you add the magic star, everything turns into a Christmas theme, the decorations turn golden, under the tree there are gifts, the fantasy wizard and the magic mirror have Santa hats, Jafar's snake cane transforms into a candy cane and many appear desserts
Everyone was happy and amazed by the Christmas magic they saw
And to finish, the word Merry Christmas appears on the screen in different languages.
And thanks to that also mickey and jiminy cricket donald regained his Christmas spirit

Lion King and Aladdin Crossover - Disney Santa 2023
Zazu and Iago share gifts with each other - Lion King and Aladdin Crossover - Disney Santa 2023
That I don't just draw exclusively ducks (although I love them the most), I certainly drew other birds, so I started with other Disney cartoons. This time related to the Disney Secret Santa held on Deviantart every year and my first time doing this. Yes, I am also posting about National Bird Day, which is celebrated on January 5th every year.
I'm already late, but let me say right away that I did and this is my first time drawing these characters and it's really a pleasure to draw them. I did this related to Disney Santa 2023 for Disney Dreamers on Deviantart and this is my belated Christmas and New Year's gift to @Gotapenname from Deviantart and I'm Secret Santa for her, and I did what she loves the most. I drew her favorite characters Zazu the bird and Iago the parrot sharing gifts (vases or bowls that hold the birds' favorite bugs) and this is part of a crossover of one of my favorite Disney movies, Aladdin and The Lion King. Apart from them, there are also Timon and Pumbaa, Abu the monkey, Rafiki the baboon, Genie, Aladdin and Jasmine. I wanted to add Simba and Nala as well, but unfortunately I wouldn't care for all of them, so I'm sorry. Yes, since it is strange that they celebrate those holidays in those countries (Africa and the Middle East, primarily Arabia, but we are referring to the pre-Muslim period), so I did it this way. Yes, I still need to practice drawing human characters as well as animal characters. I hope you like this drawing and this crossover and I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2024!
Yes, this year is also the 30th anniversary of The Lion King, as well as the 30th anniversary of the Aladdin series.
Iago, Zazu, Timon and Pumbaa, Abu, Genie, Rafiki, Aladdin and Jasmine, all created by Disney (C)
