Felt like sketching my favorite scene from the original movie.

This song always makes me tear up. Their bond means everything to me

Y'know, I had absolutely NO intention of seeing the live action Lilo & Stitch, and the more I heard about it through the grapevine, the more validated I felt. I just needed a palate cleanser, so I threw on my favorite crossover episode of the original series. Why does no one ever talk about this special? It was fire.

😜

(TW: flashing video & images)

This was super fun to make, a big thanks to @nerdy-sunflower, she made this post:

And I couldn't agree more. I've got more character art cooking, but I need to work on those watercolors. I already have difficulty with landscapes, and Lilo & Stitch background art is in a league of its own.😵‍💫

Dudes healthcare is so fake. My ADHD meds are $940 without insurance. But they gave me a website of "coupons" which straight up looks like a scam website, and I got it today for $60! Just a coupon from a random website and it was $900 cheaper. America, I am confusion!! America explain!!

I want to thank Ncuti for all that he’s done as the doctor, he brought love, light and vulnerability. He’s the first black openly gay doctor. He’s beautiful. He’ll be my favourite for a while. He’ll never be forgotten. The doctor who loved wholeheartedly

I'm still thinking about it, so here's some examples of interactions we COULD have had

Gantu: you're pathetic earth scientist. You regularly lose to an animal.

Dr. D: Oh and what about YOU Mr. Former Galactic Space Captain?? YOU get you butt kicked by what? A 7 year old and her dog? Please.

Gantu: that trog is NOT a dog. It's a genetic intergalactic experiment

Dr. D: whatever man, you lose to a little girl, at least Perry the Platypus is a skilled fighter

Jumba: Little girl! What did I tell you about using Jumba's evil experiment equipment? Is dangerous and far too advanced for feeble earth child

Lilo: sorry Jumba, my new friends are really into science and technology

Jumba: Little girl, bigger girl will be upset if our alien cover is bl- *sees an experiment made by P&F* what is that? Jumba did not make that

Lilo: I told you, it's my new friends

*Walks into lab to see 10 more experiments and the boys working on an 11th*

Lilo: Jumba, are you crying?

Jumba: Jumba always wanted evil genius proteges

-----

Jumba: little girl, how many experiments did your new little friends end up making?

Lilo: I don't know Jumba, Phineas?

Phineas: well I'd say it's somewhere in the hundreds range. Your computer was pretty hard to navigate at first, but luckily Ferb here is a wiz when it comes to translating and learning languages, so with him we got it figured out in an hour or so.

Jumba: and how long have young boys been working?

Phineas: since about 10 this morning

Lilo: seriously?! It's 2 in the afternoon

Jumba: ...

*Later*

Jumba: BIGGER GIRL. WHAT IS FORMAL EARTH PROCESS FOR ADOPTING. HAVE NEW EVIL PROTEGES TO ADD TO OHANA

Nani: JUMBA THOSE BOYS ARE NOT EVIL AND THEY ALREADY HAVE AN OHANA

-----

Isabella: OH MY GOSH. ARE YOU NANI PELEKAI?

Nani: yeah why?

Isabella: Isabella Garcia-Shapiro, Fireside Girl Troupe 46231. You made Fireside Girl history after getting a perfect score in the Hawaii Junior Surf Team and being the first person to earn the Fireside Surfer patch!

Nani: oh wow, I didn't realize that was such a big deal to the Firesi-

Isabella: CAN YOU TEACH ME HOW TO SURF? PLEEEASE???

-----

Dr D: so you're an evil scientist

Jumba: yes

Dr D: do you have a nemesis?

Jumba: does my imprisoned evil ex colleague count?

Dr D: do you regularly battle him?

Jumba: no, not really

Dr D: Then no. Well some"evil" inventor you are. You don't even have a nemesis who regularly tries to thwart you, and I don't even see a self destruct button anywhere

Jumba: self destruct button is primitive Earth invention and waste of time. Jumba is PROUD of creations. Why add destruct button where ANYONE can find it?

Dr D: whatever man you're just jealous. And stay away from Perry the Platypus he's MY nemesis

-----

Pleakley: Nani! I've been reading up on all of the different forms of communities among earthlings, it's absolutely fascinating. Lilo said you were in some called a Fire Girl Gang at her age, now did you girls just go around building fires together?

Nani: What? No, I was a FireSIDE Girl, it's a girl scout troupe.

Pleakley: Interesting, tell me more!

Nani: Augh, Pleakley I have to go to work I can't do this right now

Pleakley: PLEASE NANI! Tell me more about how this troupe community works! I WANNA BE PART OF AN EARTH COMMUNITY

Nani: actually I've got a different idea

Isabella: whatcha doin'?

-----

Candice: Ugh my brothers are so ANNOYING. They keep building all these dangerous things and my parents don't believe me

Nani: tell me about it, my sister keeps bringing dangerous aliens into the house

Candice: why don't you bust her for it??

Nani: why would I "bust her"? She's happy, and as long as she's safe that's all that's important

Candice: ..... What?

Y'all since we're all getting back on the Lilo and Stitch train, can we talk for a minute about how we were ROBBED when the tv show was still on Disney channel?

So remember how in the L&S Tv show they'd do crossover episodes with the other Disney shows on air at the time? Kim possible, The Proud Family, etc.?

It's an ABSOLUTE CRIME that the show was taken off air before Phineas and Ferb got picked up bc CAN YOU IMAGINE

Phineas and Ferb cranking out experiments like no one's business

Jumba being impressed with how quickly the boys make experiments and immediately tries to take them under his wing as "little evil genius proteges"

Perry gets mistaken for an experiment and ends up fighting Gantu

Lilo trying to prove Perry IS an experiment to the boys (he's not, but she's dead convinced)

Doofenschmirtz gets jealous of Jumba and his inventions

Nani and Candice bonding over the stress their baby siblings put them under

Nani immediately checking Candice when she realizes she just wants to "bust" her brothers to their mom and tells her to step up for them

Pleakley becomes a Fireside Girl Den Mother somehow

Just

UGH

A crossover with them would've hit SO HARD and I will forever be sad that it never happened

here's the thing.

a young woman suddenly saddled with raising her younger sibling who ultimately has to accept that she isn't up to the task and it'd be better for her sibling to live in a stable and loving home with a family friend, leading to a bittersweet ending where the siblings remain in contact and still love each other, but must accept living apart at least for the time being, could be an interesting and compelling character.

but that character isn't nani pelekai.

My question to everyone defending the end of the live-action Lilo and Stitch.
