Mufasa and Taka were galloping through the grasslands, when Mufasa saw something while passing a tree.

"Taka, stop!"

"What?"

"There's an egg alone on the ground! What if someone gets it?"

"Not my problem."

"I know, but I can't let it be here all alone.."

"Just let me eat it." Taka smirked as he lunged forward. Mufasa quickly stopped him.

"Why do you care about this bird egg?" Taka whined. "It's below us! We're the most important animals!"

"Mom says everyone has a part in the circle of life! Including this baby bird!"

"Ugh, fine.."

"I'm going to stay here and guard the egg. Can you look for the mother?"

"Yes, your majesty..", Taka groaned as he turned around and stomped off.

Mufasa kept a steady eye on the egg, looking around occasionally for a predator. He wasn't sure what he would do if say, a hyena showed, but he felt an urge to protect the egg no matter what.

"Oh goodness!" He heard a worried voice from above. A very tired looking hornbill flew up ahead. "You're about to eat my baby!"

"No! I promise I wasn't! It fell and I stood here and watched it while my brother went to try and look for you! I didn't mean to scare you, miss.."

"Wait a second.." the mother rubbed her tired eyes. "You're the prince!!"

"Heh, I suppose so.."

"Oh I've been blessed this day!! Thank you for saving my baby, your majesty! How can I repay you?"

"Gosh, miss, I dunno..my parents would be better at this kinda thing.."

Suddenly, the egg hatched. A joyful young bird popped out, smiling at Mufasa.

"Oh, my baby! Hello my baby! Welcome to the world, my Zazu!" She cried tears of joy. "I'll talk to your parents, and make sure you get a reward!"

Mufasa blushed, smiling at the mother bird.

"I should go look for my brother..but thank you, miss!"

"You can call me Zuzu dear, and thank YOU!"

I CALLED IT

TWISTED!ZAzU REAL????????? 👀

His name is Kifaji (?) and he’s the Grand Chamberlain! (I believe that’s a senior official that’s tasked with overseeing the royal household; it’s implied he was the one nagging L*ona in the opening of the event to come home for Catch the Tail.)

#apparently his name means ‘food’ in Swahili??? #which. considering that Scar tries to eat Zazu in TLK #yeah okay ig??? #Zazu #twst #twisted wonderland #disney twisted wonderland #notes from the writing raven #twst!Zazu #twisted!Zazu #Kifaji #Kifaaji #spoilers #Leona Kingscholar

Welcome to Pride Rock Incorporated!

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!

Questions or requests for headcanons or fics are always welcome (:

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.

WIP list that you may feel free to bother me about actually finishing:

-karaoke night -Simba and Nala coming after school and discovering The Graveyard (janitor's closet) -Business lunch with HathiCorp -Subsequent hotel shenaniganry -Scar's foray into Shenzi's makeup channel -Team-building exercise at the rock wall

I was today years old when I found out that Zazu was supposed to have eight babies in The Lion King 2.

Concept artwork of them done by Ritsko Notani and approved by animator Wendell Washer, (both of whom have worked on various other Disney direct-to-video sequels and spin-offs) was sold on Ebay just this weekend (godspeed to whoever is living in LA at the moment).

In early drafts of the sequel dating back to 1996, Zazu was intended to be accompanied by a female hornbill known as Binti, who would have been his mate by the end of the film. Together, they would have had eight hornbill chicks. The executives and writers deemed Binti and Zazu's storyline to be unnecessary and she was cut from the movie. When Binti was phased out, Zazu no longer had any narrative reason to have children, and thus they were cut. Zazu's role in Simba's Pride was diminished greatly as a result of this.

If the link doesn't work, here are some photos ripped directly from the site.

#the lion king #the lion king 2 simba's pride #the lion king 2 #the lion king zazu #zazu #tlk 2 #Allegedly in the 1995 treatments she was supposed to be an oxpecker who worked alongside the rouge elephant and the hyenas #But was apparently phased into a hornbill when Bianca and her hyenas were phased in #She was originally supposed to be voiced by Jane Leeves famous for her role on Fraiser #there was also a rhino character voiced by Thomas Haden Church whom she was going to accompany #But again when the story was redrafted in 1996 to exclude Brutus and his gang and to make Binti a hornbill the rhino character was cut #I personally would've preferred the oxpecker as Zazu's love interest if it came down to it #But really I find it dumb that no one considered the alternative route of making Binti his daughter instead #For starters her name means “Binti” in Swahilli #And secondly the whole theme of the film (especially in the early drafts) is in regards to the relationship between a father and a daughter #They could've worked their way around this instead of giving it the cutting board entirely and sidelining Zazu entirely throughout the film #GAAGH #2024 #disney

"Try not to make a sound..."

Someone had asked me to draw Nazapa with her grandma Nala so I thought, why not! So, here's Nazapa getting a pouncing lesson from Nala. Zazu is just waiting for the humiliation to be over already.

VG: The Lion of Theluji Mountains - PART 1

Ever since the Outsiders joined the Pridelanders, an intense rivalry had formed between the Pridelands' majordomo and the Outlands' former scout. When Simba had asked for the Morning Report, Zazu and Vitani both scrambled for the opportunity.

Zazu cleared his throat, "All seems to be in order, sire --" "Nothing out of the ordinary, sir." Vitani cut in without thinking. "Ugh... The tree dispute between the baboons and galagos have died down. Surely, a 'monkey off your back'." Zazu straightened, "The wildebeest are grazing in the same spot as usual, if that's 'gnus' to you. And --" "Most of the herds were wrangled back in their place. There are still stragglers." the lioness felt herself becoming competitive. Zazu cleared his throat, "Th-The rock pythons can't quite 'wrap' their minds around why the aardvarks are being rather 'nosey' --" Vitani scowled at the hornbill and quickly returned to her stoic gaze at the King, "The overgrazing these last few months led to a premature --" "Ah, as I was saying --" "Last night --" Simba couldn't keep turning his head to listen, "Alright, alright! Enough! Okay? I just... One at a time, please." He turned to the lioness and gave an initiative nod, "Vitani?" Vitani, rather pretentiously, stuck her tongue out at the old majordomo in victory. "Poppycock..." Zazu muttered to himself. "Well, she's new to the Pridelands." Simba shrugged, "Vitani, what about the herds?" "Well," Zazu put his wings to his hips, "just so you know, young lioness, it takes years and years of reporting and knowing the Pridelands like the back of your wing to get to my level!" Without Zazu looking, Vitani rolled her eyes. Funnily enough, the King did as well, just as bored of the majordomo's ramblings as he always has been, ever since he was a cub. The lioness continued her report about the herds' statuses as the sun continued to rise. ____ Days later... Too much time had gone by. Zazu still hadn't come back from his business trip. The pride watched as the King paced around the main den, worried for his old friend. "It's been almost two days, now," Simba muttered, "it isn't like him to be this late. Something has to be wrong. Really wrong." Suddenly, news came, as if on cue. "Sir!" barked a creature emerging from the spot of earth outside the entrance. It was Gopher the mole rat, a long-serving scout of the majordomo. "News from the Underground; Zazu is reported to be missing in Theluji Mountains. He was last seen entering strong currents." "The blizzard," Simba sat up, "I should've known!" The Guard's eyes widened. What was a blizzard? "I should've had him deliver my message to King Sokwe after the storm." Simba turned to the lionesses, "Forgot how harsh the wet seasons could be, there..." Vitani may have rivaled Zazu, and she may have thought he was a stuffy, perfectionist, gossipful interloper, but she never wished a travesty like this upon him. After a hushed discussion with the Guard, Vitani suddenly spoke up. "We can bring Zazu home." "You?" the King was wide-eyed, "You don't know the terrain. Kion's Guard needed escorts, even." "You could get lost, too!" Tiifu cried, "Then how will Zazu get home? It's not worth the risk." Vitani gently loosened herself from Tiifu's seemingly clingy embrace, "I appreciate your concern, but someone's gotta find him. We're big lions, he's a small bird. I'm sure my Guard and I can handle it better than he can." Simba sighed, "Alright, but be careful with the weather. It can get unpredictable. Beware of ice and winds. You could freeze to death if you don't find shelter." "We'll be back in no time, sir." the leader smiled assuringly. Tiifu frowned, and clung to Vitani again. "Tiifu," the Guard leader whispered to the lioness, "I'll be alright. The Guard and I can handle the elements." Tiifu watched as the Guard took off. "Please, please, be careful..." ____ Almost there... The Guard had walked for hours, now. The Theluji Mountains was far west of the Pridelands, already too far from what the Guard knew. "Must be it." Vitani said, looking up. "Loooong climb up." Imara sighed. Vitani lifted a paw, "Welp, here we-" Suddenly, Gopher appeared from the ground. The Guard nearly jumped. "Wait! Before you proceed..." the mole rat leaned closer, "...Beware of the beast that lives in the Mountains." "...What?" "Word from Underground is that a big, hairy beast emerges from his cave to snatch up prey." "And Zazu's up there..." Shabaha pointed out, "Hopefully he wasn't... you know..." Kasi cringed, "Oh, no... Oh, Simba would not wanna hear that..." Vitani turned to Gopher, "Thank you for letting us know." Gopher saluted courteously and sank back into the hole. "Come on, girls." Vitani prepared to leap, "Till the Pridelands end..." "Lion Guard Defend!" the rest finished in unison. ____ The Guard miserably wandered through the blizzard, unknowingly going in circles as winds from the storm had covered their tracks in the snow. The poor savannah animals shivered hard. Their eyebrows and eyelashes appeared gray from frost. Their eyes, themselves, couldn't help but constantly shut from the dry, crystalline wind. In their closed eyes, they hadn't noticed Vitani slowly taking on a strange appearance as days passed on their trek. Her fur seemed to be growing more and more dense, and long. Her signature tuft hung over her eyes, protecting them from the ice, but blocking them from seeing. They'd eventually found a small, uninhabited cave to rest in. When the Guard finally laid their eyes on Vitani, they gawked. "What?" Vitani glared, "Why are you looking at me like that? Do I have something on my face?" "Vitani..." Kasi slowly approached, "Your fur... i-it's..." "Like a CLOUD!" Shabaha cried before excitedly leaping to Vitani. With no impulse control, she proceeded to feel Vitani's soft coat. "Wha-?" Vitani slapped Shabaha's paw away, "Quit it! What are you...?" "Odd... must be a dormant trait," Tazama spoke up, "I mean, you've always had an unusually long coat, even back home..." "Are you saying she adapted to the climate?" Kasi asked. "Must be so." Tazama looked at her leader. "We can talk about this later." Vitani stood up, "Come on, Zazu can't keep waiting..." ____ Later... The Lion Guard seemed to make it to another part of the mountain. The change in air pressure meant they were much higher now. They called for Zazu, their voices giving them away to listening ears all over the mountains... Vitani was pulled from her intense focus as her ear swiveled to a sudden scraping sound. Pebbles skidded down and brushed against her shoulder. She glanced up, confused at where it came from. A pair of eyes stared from a cave above. The winds of the storm masked the deep rumbling heard from inside. Too disoriented from the loud, nearly-opaque wind, Vitani couldn't get herself to find the source of the falling pebbles. She stared a few seconds longer. "Vitani, I see a new landmark up ahead!" Imara called, loud enough to be heard over the winds. Vitani shook the "Ah, coming..." The eyes watched the lioness catch up to her group. Soon, the eyes disappeared into the darkness as the rumbling faded out.

To Be Continued... ____ (Wintertani is back! This December, I thought about fleshing out the story of Vitani's winter coat by adapting it into a Vitani's Guard installment, given the fitting snow themes. Speaking of which ngl it was fun to draw all this snow. Easy too

I was gonna have more panels where Vitani would compete with Zazu, and Gopher would deliver the news to everyone (there needs to be fanart of him, underutilized little guy). Maybe I can do that thing where I add something the next day. But idk. While I kinda wanna give this a colorful storybook feel, I wonder if the fic, itself already has a clear enough picture for certain scenes.  Heck maybe I'll post art of those in separate uploads 🤷 The first scene was inspired by some awesome headcanon I saw floating around Reddit where Vitani and Zazu would be sassy rivals towards each other, given Vitani's former scout position in the Outlands paralleling Zazu's majordomo/ambassador duties in the Pridelands)
