The Morning Report - 2/10/2025

It is again not morning, but again I'd like to keep up with some meta messages because I feel bad about leaving those for too long. Sorry!

@sukalaap Ya know, this actually made me consider whether or not future cameos (which I still promise will be an infrequent thing) could be Africanized characters from other franchises. Now I'm imagining the 101 Dalmatians as a mass pack of African Wild Dogs.

Also, shoutout to Akril. I've been in love with her work for years. She's a veritable scholar of the TLK franchise, genuinely. Definitely a TLKFAA gallery I'd recommend rooting through.

@willtheraven1 Yes, I have some headcanons regarding Zira that place her within the same generation as Simba. Just feel like it makes her relationship to and obsession with Scar more complex/awful.

I don't think my next few posts will include her, but if you guys are curious about my cub design for her, I'd be willing to share some concept art.

I'd also just like to say that I've been developing an original project and am also in a bit of a funk right now, so I apologize for updates being slow. I've always got new ideas for this blog, I just gotta get my rear in gear and make them real.

Thanks for sticking around, see ya again soon.

Isn't it obvious?

Ask Box Closed

Hi guys! Just wanted you guys to know that I'm not currently accepting new questions. This isn't because of anything bad, it's simply because I've received a great many and would like to work through some of what I've got so it doesn't become overwhelming.

This is only a temporary thing, so don't worry. Questions will be reopened in the future. If you'd like to contact me for any other reason, you can reach me via my main, @mandrawsdog. Please do not send new questions there!

Your patience is much appreciated. More updates are on the way. Thank you all for your continued support. Peace!

[ask-simba]

Would recommend, by the way.

Rules Update 2: Update's Pride

Ahoy everybody! Just wanted you all to know I've updated the rules page again. I know, I know, but I feel it was obligatory.

Refrain from sending the same question multiple times. Misclicks and browser lag can cause repeat submissions and are understandable flubs, but intentionally sending the same message repeatedly fills the inbox with spam, makes organization harder, and distracts from unique questions. I promise you that every single ask received is read and considered. Please be patient while waiting for new posts. This project is labor intensive and I'm only one guy.

Wording and minor specifics of other rules have been tweaked, but all other rules have remained the same.

Thanks for all the support and patience you've shown me so far. We just broke 100 followers! I'm beside myself with appreciation that others are excited about this project. See you again soon!

What can I say? We attract people.

The Morning Report - 12/29/2024

Hey there! It is not morning so I am a filthy liar, but The Morning Report is what I've decided to call an occasional roundup and addressing of non-Simba directed questions this blog has received.

@zazuposting Thank you very much! All coding credit goes to @eeyes. The assets were all harvested from old partially archived Geocities sites. I'm old and associate TLK with the late 90s/early 2000s and I think a lotta fans in my generation do too, so this theme is a little something for us.

@ziraynthefox Here's some concept art for an upcoming doozy of a post, I hope it answers your question ;^]

@casperfan2003 You may, but I'd like everyone to keep in mind that cameos/crossovers will be a rarity, and also that I'd like to keep them sensical inuniverse. i.e. Bambi and Simba are not realistically ever going to meet.

Thank you for the kind words <3 I hope you guys like future updates. There's some big, hopefully fun ones in the works and messages like this are very encouraging.

And thanks to everyone who sent these in to begin with! Feel free to send other meta messages if the spirit moves you and I'll address them in another future update. Peace!

[ask-simba]

You meet some interesting people in the jungle.

Rules Update

Hello to the new followers! Thank you guys so much for the warm reception. The feedback is much appreciated.

Minor head's up, I've updated the Rules page to include something I forgot to mention previously:

Please send questions through the ask box. The ask/e-mail box is the only place I’m collecting future material. This is for practicality’s sake: it’s just plain easier. If you’re asking a character something, please do not send it via replies, reblogs, Tumblr IMs, the comments of reposts on my other socials, or anything like that. Only actual asks have a chance of being responded to.

Don't worry if you've sent questions via those different avenues, as you can resend them via the appropriate place and they'll still be considered.

Stay tuned for more of the lion prince!

[ask-simba]

You just gotta get to know him.
