I think it's a testament to how good Janja's leadership skills actually are that he managed to become the leader of Scar's Army. The Fall of Mzimu Grove clearly showed Janja leading the other Outlanders, and even before that we saw it in Pridelanders Unite! when he and he alone called a retreat and all the other Outlanders listened. The Outlander leaders may have all been vying for the leadership position within the army, but it’s clear who ended up getting it.  And given that these are hyper competitive “listen to me!” type people it’s genuinely impressive that Janja managed to secure a spot as leader.  And to top it all off, Janja was a teenager, facing off against adult leaders, and he’s the one who came out on top. Good for him.

AND HERE IS ONE FOR SPINNY!!!! @spinnysocks

this is a series of outlanders smiling deviously in the volcano now I guess?/j

Smth funky has been going on with my drawing app (I let my godsiblings draw for twenty minutes and they fucked up the settings in ways I can't even comprehend, let alone fix) so now I need to do EVERY OVERLAPPING STROKE on a separate layer ;-;

Otherwise the colors do funky shit, and it isn’t usually as interesting as the image I clipped above. Idk what the fuck they did man. It's killing me.

I was trying to decide should I draw Kung Fu Panda fanart or my original character, and ended up drawing these three out of nowhere.

It was four years since the last time I drew anything related to The Lion Guard...

I still stand by this headcanon; where Mzingo and Mwoga adopted and raised Janja.

since nikki asked about kiburi... how's reirei doing in the lone honeybadger au? /np, nf

unfortunately I can’t say she’s as developed as kiburi is in lone honeybadger, but I’ve certainly thought a thing or two about her.

as some have already guessed, reirei is now left with only few of her pups. I’d say maybe dogo, kijana and one or two older ones. goigoi is, indeed, dead, and it’s a topic she refuses to talk about in the present timeline of the au. she’ll often sneak away whenever she can’t sleep at night to some place she and goigoi would always hang out in. she’ll look to the sky and if she tries hard enough she can feel a semblance of his presence with her. she doesn’t think with all that the family has ever done, especially with their part in scar’s army, that any of them could end up in whenever it is the great lions of the past end up, but she likes to think goigoi gets to have that. she can’t imagine someone as sweet and caring as her husband had been could ever end up in a place meant for the cruel. if anything, she should be the one to end up there, or at least that’s what she believes.

her grief and guilt is not as apparent as kiburi’s is. she is lucky enough to still have some of her family left and takes to caring for them however she can. you will find her giving her kids the scraps they get while leaving little to none for herself, much to the despair of her pups. personality-wise she hasn’t changed much, however a lot of the snarkiness and sass with which she carries herself hides the grief and guilt she feels when she’s alone. she’s a lot more crankier than she used to be, however, earning her the nickname of “old lady” among the skinks (a nickname that is not by any means affectionate, lol).

speaking of the skinks, shupavu and reirei are canon best friends in this au. they find in each other a sort of comfort, and can relate to each other’s experiences and sorrows. the skinks have lost a great reptile ally of their’s (ushari) and though reirei never liked the guy, she’ll still show sympathy because she knows what it’s like.

she’s relentless to all survivors outside of scar’s army, knowing she can’t cope with losing any more of her babies. she’s tried mating with some jackals from outside lands before but in the end she backs out, flashbacks and trauma tied to her previous mate still too fresh. at some point she vows to never mate again, instead devoting all her time to caring for her pups. the only survivor outside of scar’s army that she’ll be civil with is jasiri— basically-leader of the rest of them. jasiri herself doesn’t fully understand why, but reirei knows the kind of pain that jasiri’s going through, caring for everyone else. they may not be on the same side, but reirei will respect a fellow caretaker any day. there may come a time when their sides might even fight, but reirei doesn’t think she could ever do anything to jasiri. not when she sees so much of her younger self in her.

a lot of the characters’ experiences right after the incident are very similar, so I don’t think I’ll talk much about it except for some of the important characters, i.e., the four mentioned here. if any of you wanna share any ideas for how the other characters may react or grieve right after the incident, please do share!! I love hearing all your thoughts about this au. again, it fuels my own thoughts for this au, haha. thanks dearly to you, too, spinny for sending this ask :] really enjoyed answering it just as much as I did the kiburi ask! /all gen.

[devilsrecreation]

its funny to me that we ship both ushari x shupavu and ushari x kiburi, he likes the lizards with smooth low voices lmao

You mean reptiles with smooth low voices (crocs actually aren’t lizards) but you’re absolutely right

What can he say? He has a type! There’s just something about low voices that attracts him, you know? Add Kiburi and Shupavu’s intelligence with that and he’s under their spell~

It’s also funny cuz I hc both Shupavu AND Kiburi to be rather attractive in their species’ standards so Ushari falls for reptiles who are cunning, have really good voices, AND are physically attractive.

Tbh…this would make an interesting ot3

A New Way To Go Analysis

I believe A New Way To Go is the best Lion Guard song because absolutely everyone brought their A game while making it. The visuals are amazing, the tune is catchy, but I think the best thing about the song is how well it illustrates exactly what's going through Janja's head. There's so much character work you can glean from the song and that's what's so good about it.

“Why am I so confused?  It all used to be so simple.” - Jasiri has completely upset the status quo for Janja; she doesn’t fit in his worldview because she’s a strong, capable hyena who follows the Circle of Life, is friends with a lion(the leader of the Lion Guard no less), and has saved him from death twice now despite being on the opposite side as him, and he can’t ignore his growing feeling that maybe everything he’s known all his life is actually wrong. He didn’t know there was another way, he genuinely thought he had to act like this, but now that Jasiri has offered him another way, he can’t get himself to just forget about it and carry on like normal.

“What changed?  Think!” - He didn’t used to have these doubts, and he’s trying to figure out what’s different now.  He’s trying to figure out and understand what has changed significantly enough to make him question his life and his beliefs like this.

“Jasiri doesn’t fear me she���s been saving my hide!” - He wants to be seen as this tough and intimidating figure, and at first it bugs him that Jasiri isn’t intimidated by him as seen in Never Judge a Hyena by It’s Spots, but now it just confuses him.  And on top of that, she saves him, not just once but twice, despite being on the opposite side as him.

“I know she buys the whole ‘Circle of Life’” - The choice of words here(he says Jasiri “buys” the concept rather than she follows it or respects it or something like that) implies that Janja thought the concept was literally made up and not real, which I do believe is a different case than someone who knows the concept is real and still decides they want more than their fair share.

“I mean, Si Si Ni Sawa’s kinda catchy all right.” - He’s trying to justify to himself why he’s been thinking about what Jasiri said so much.  Also, this song confirms he saw at least the last verse of Si Si Ni Sawa because 1. He knows the chorus to the song despite having never having been sung it, 2. He knows Jasiri sung it to Kion, and 3. He imitates the thing Kion and Jasiri did at the end of the song in his last verse of the chorus.

“He’d never give me something a hyena couldn’t handle, would he?” - Janja's trying really hard to rationalize Scar's behavior and treatment of him and his clan, but his faith in Scar is starting to waver. In the visuals, we see Scar with his master plan, and then we see Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu holding the ground up for him because they’re doing the heavy lifting for Scar.  But when Janja asks “would he?” indicating that he no longer has complete and total faith in Scar, the whole thing crashes down.

This shot right here is beautiful, it really just sums up the whole song in one singular frame.

“‘Si si ni sawa’ means ‘we’re the same’” “Oh no!  It set something off inside my brain!” - Janja hates that Jasiri’s words make sense to him, and he hates that they’re resonating with him even more.

“She says I can trust her but I don’t know, could there really be a new way to go?” - Janja genuinely doesn’t know any better and that’s why he acts the way he does.

“It’s like I’d rather be happy then scrapping for food or respect ugh what’s happening?” - I think this is the line that gets me the most because it shows that Janja never considered his own feelings on things to be more important or even of equal importance than living up to expectations, and when he finally considers “maybe I’d be happier on the other side” he goes “this is ridiculous why am I thinking like this?”  To Janja, it didn’t matter what he actually wanted, because the way others saw him and getting food were more important than silly things like happiness.

“Maybe the stuff I thought was wrong was right! I think I like it but I’m still undecided how to choose, what to do!” - He’s torn between what he’s known all his life as the truth and what he’s “supposed” to do vs what his feelings are saying on the matter.

Since Jasiri told Kion they’re the same, if Janja accepts that what Jasiri says is true and Jasiri and him are the same, that means he also accepts that Kion and him are the same, and Janja knows this.  During the first chorus of A New Way to Go, Jasiri sings Si Si Ni Sawa to Janja, while in the second, she sings it to Kion.  While in the first instance Janja seems more worried about the fact that it resonated, in the second instance Janja seems more annoyed about this.  This and the fact that he crushes them with his paw during the second time indicates that he knows accepting what Jasiri said also means accepting that Kion and him are the same, and that’s something he really does not want to acknowledge.

One of the things the visuals of this song really show is that Janja clearly feels separated from the other side, even Jasiri, and doesn’t know if he really could switch sides because of the divide he feels.

The ending shot is very interesting because of this; while Janja still has his Outlander coloring, the Outlander spotlight is gone, making him still stick out but putting him in the same world as Jasiri and her hyenas, indicating that Janja has accepted what Jasiri is saying, even if only subconsciously.

Jasiri’s portrayal here vs The Worst Hyena We Know is pretty interesting, because in that song Jasiri is much more closed off to Janja.  She’s playful and somewhat flirty towards him, but still has a dismissive and “haha losers” attitude towards him and his hyenas.  Here however, she is a lot more sympathetic and open towards him.  She’s lost the snarky and dismissive attitude she had in The Worst Hyena We Know and is just playful now.  This is because before, Janja only had those kinds of experiences with Jasiri and probably thought Jasiri would push him off a cliff if given the chance(given the fact that he was surprised that she saved him from a horrible death via falling into lava I don’t think this is a crazy conclusion to come to), but now, he knows that’s very not true.

There's even this neat part here where you can parallel the two songs and see the difference

@spinnysocks

ReiRei is one of my absolute FAVORITES to draw and I just figured out my Janja design for this!!

>w<

[tired-lamb]

one thing that's new since you've been gone... me and nikki mayyy or may not have created a new ot3 with shupavu x ushari x kiburi... :3

nikki's posts here, here and here

our rambles inspired sam to draw human au shupavu which i see as an absolute win /silly, pos

YOOO SHUPAVU X USHARI X KIBURI… I can see it, I can see it 👀 totally doesn’t remind me of something I have planned. Nope. definitely not at all /sarc. but seriously thats actually a really interesting ship :0 idk if I can see it as all three dating each other, the only way I could see it happening is like in a V-shape with ushari dating both kiburi and shupavu. idk if that’s what you guys have in mind, but if not I would love to hear your interpretations!!! saying ‘interpretations’ like you two aren’t the originators now for this ship Cx. also I am Looking at those dynamics and I love them sm. shupavu being all rolled eyes and sarcasm with kiburi like chill bro we are partners in law. you think shupavu ever wonders why ushari’s dating him? x] /lh. okay but I am LOOKING at the angst potential bcoz how would these two cope after ushari’s death.. would they come closer? avoid each other? blame each other, even? aaah so many thoughts. I love this already. you hath convinced me, spinny and nikki /silly, gen.

[devilsrecreation]

That’s Nduli, youngest of the float

More intelligent than he looks

He’s everybody’s little brother

There’s Tamka, aspiring actor

No discernible personality

But his dad used to be the float leader

And the leader, Kiburi

The almighty

He is a mythic dick
