new york city crocodile :)

me and @devilsrecreation were talking about how there's no tamka art! i took matters into my own hands even though i'm not really a drawer lol. if this is the first art of tamka on the internet, i am very proud to be of service, he deserves it!

💫 sketches + references under the cut!

Absolutely living for my friendship headcanons I made for the crocodiles and the lizards cuz they’re legit so fun to play around with

-First there’s Makuu’s canon friendship with Hodari the gecko

-Pua’s also taken Hodari under his wing so now the little guy has 2 crocodile mentors, not to mention he tells the former leader everything

-Ucheshi and Hodari are so close they almost share a braincell

-Kenge’s now a sort-of honorary crocodile to Kiburi’s float cuz they’re good friends

Not only is Kenge an ally, but Njano’s proven to be a pretty good friend to Kiburi on several occasions. Hell, @spinnysocks and I agreed that all of Kiburi’s float would be all buddy-buddy with the skinks. Neema and Nyeusi are aroace icons who watch all the shit go down, Nyororo/green skink helps Tamka with his acting by teaching him how to be more…believable ig? (and by teaching him how to fake flirt with someone lol). Nyata would definitely encourage Nduli’s sassiness and helps him come up with witty comebacks

YA’LL I EVEN GOT KENGE TEACHING NDULI HOW TO BE MORE INTIMIDATING AT ONE POINT THAT’S HOW MUCH I LOVE THESE HC’S

I’m even thinking about Tamka and Nduli eventually befriending Hodari. They may have only used him in the past, but imagine them being unlikely friends when the little guy helps them out with something. Just a lil something to think about :)

Also I can’t help but imagine Tamka mentioning how he was being used by the meerkat mafia one time (as I mentioned in an episode idea I had for him) and Hodari goes “Been there, done that” and Tamka’s all “You have? By who????……..Oh yeah, my bad”

They have the same motivation during the zebra mastermind but it’s also different and I love it:

Cheezi & Chungu: we want to be smart so we can be at the meeting with Janja and Scar so we are trying to impress Scar. He’s our main motivator, not Janja we just want to be with him.

Tamka: Nduli listen if we do this and hand the guard over to Scar, we will be the ones who get to go to the big meeting next time.

Goigoi: I am actually in relief that I was not invited because it allows me a chance to nap but I have to prove my mate wrong who thinks I‘m good for nothing

The hyenas wanted to impress Scar so they can be with Janja and not feel left out because they usually do everything together, the crocodiles wanted to be the ones who get to go instead of Kiburi and Goigoi doesn’t care for Scar it’s for his mate instead why try to impress a lion that you don’t know much about

[wulfums]

Some next gen Lion Guard ocs!!

Heres a bit about each

Kichaka- Female jackal who is the daughter of Reirei and Goigoi. She, unlike her parents, believe in helping others and being good. She notices how badly the lions treat the outlanders and wants true peace.

Mizani - Male croc. Son of Tamka and Nduli. Soon after reaching adulthood, he started challenging the “crocodile way.” He was banished from Kiburi’s float for questioning it. He was born with a short tail, so hes not the best at swimming.

Mbaya - Male Skink. Son of Shupavu and Njano. Sneaky, two faced, and always trying to be on the winning side for all his life. This is brought into question after meeting the other outlander children. He acts cocky but is very unsure of himself after he starts questioning what hes been taught.

Chakula - Female Hyena. Daughter of Cheezi and Chungu. She grew up alongside Jioni and Usiku. Unlike her fathers, she is strong and confident. She usually has her own ideas of things, but follows Jioni because she wants to be a supportive friend.

Jioni - Female Hyena. Daughter of Janja and Jasiri. Jioni, despite resembling Janja, is a hyena who wants nothing more than to leave the outlands. She would want peace with the lions, but after her peace being rejected over and over, she is now thinking of a way to get all of her friends and their familys out of the outlands.

Usiku - Male Hyena. Son of Nne and Tano. Jioni and Chakula’s other friend from childhood. He often joins them on adventures. He has a more sarcastic tone about him, but truly cares about his friends and family. Hes terrified of the lions in the Pridelands, and just wants to leave as soon as possible.

Kion: Hit it, Ono!

Ono: Tom has three pieces of bubble gum. If he trades all his gum to Ida for two raisins per piece, how many raisins will Tom have?

Bunga: What sort of idiot trades bubble gum for raisins?

Kion: That’s not the point

Bunga: What is he, some kind of health nut? If you ask me, Tom needs counseling. And what kinda name is Ida?! What’s it short for? Ida preferred a different name?

Has sworn off saying fuck, but has said it at some point: Reirei, Mzingo

Has not said fuck before, but can if so desired: Ushari, Sumu, Chungu, Cheezi

Has not said fuck before, and refuses to say it: Jasiri, Madoa, Goigoi, Mwoga

Legally cannot say fuck: Wema, Tunu, Dogo, Kijana, Nduli

[devilsrecreation]

Absolutely going FERAL over humanized versions of TLG characters. ESPECIALLY the Outlanders they’re so good

I realized there aren’t really human versions of the lesser known Outlanders so I took matters into my own hands. And HEEEEERE they are!

Sumu

Njano

Tamka

Nduli

Bonus: Hodari

I’d really recommend going to Deviantart for more human TLG characters. They’re all REALLY good

[spinnysocks]

[devilsrecreation]

Some Tamka appreciation for the girlies

He’s the most expressive croc other than Makuu and Kiburi and I love him. He’s such an icon

His mind immediately thinking about food when Nduli mentions fish like SAME

And the fact that he’s so honest and self aware when he was like “Well we’re not smart so we’re not gonna stop doing this evil thing!”. Gold, I tell you! Gold!

He’s so overconfident and determined but he’s so stupid and weak at the same time he’s great

And his NY accent ties it all together. It makes his character soooo much funnier

[devilsrecreation]

ATTENTION ALL TLG CROCODILE FANS LOOK WHAT I FOUND

(Link to the og post here)

IT’S A PIC OF NDULI AND CHEEZI! YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS????

NDULI HAS FANART NDULI HAS FANART

@spinnysocks LOOK AT YOUR BOY

[devilsrecreation]

Headcanons and other stuff with Tamka since he still lives rent free

- In a human au, he is DEFINITELY Italian-American. Not only is he fluent, but he also unintentionally teaches Nduli some of the curse words since h curses so often. Sometimes he’ll rant in perfect Italian until someone says “….What?”

- Oh and speaking of the human au, I’m thinking of everyone having human names like ‘John’ or ‘Kevin’, so Tamka’s is Tommy cuz ofc it is

- He brags about his singing when in reality he’s pretty bad at it😭 (Though it’s strangely decent when he’s singing softly)

- He and Neema have a…complicated friendship. Neema often insults him for his stupidity every chance he gets and Tamka sometimes calls him an asshole. Having said that, they still have each other’s backs. Only they can insult each other lmao

- His relationship with his dad is, unsurprisingly, really rocky. Ever since Pua learned about Kiburi’s stunt, he’s been the most disappointed with Tamka. He knows his son isn’t the smartest, but he sure as hell didn’t raise him like that no matter how cocky he used to be back then. Tamka just chalks up their disagreements as Pua being bad at communication and always dismissing him in favor of the other crocodiles just because they were more intelligent (Tamka c’mon, everyone else’s parents had died. He couldn’t just ditch them). Even though Tamka’s said things he regrets, he still loves his dad and vice versa…especially vice versa. Tamka’s the only hatchling of his clutch that survived and Pua couldn’t afford to lose his only son, not after promising to watch over him when Kuimba died

- They do slowly mend their relationship by bonding over Kuimba. You’d think tamka wouldn’t remember his mom, but he remembers everything: her voice, her face, how loving she was, the lullabies she sung, all of it. They eventually apologize to each other for their past mistakes

- His mother had a pretty big impact on him. Tamka would trust anyone who reminded him of her without even realizing it, hence why he trusted the meerkat mob boss (who I’ll name Bosi, meaning ‘boss’) so easily. Bosi acted so sweet and motherly towards him, it was hard for him to believe she was only using him.

- Like Reirei and Goigoi, Tamka and his love interest, Erevu, have that smartass x dumbass dynamic. She thinks of everything and he supports her like the sweetheart he is :)

- Tamka almost immediately fell for Erevu when he met her. While he did find her beautiful, it was really her brains that made her even more attractive. It took a while for him to impress her, but they bonded over the fact that there’s more to the both of them than what meets the eye (ie. Erevu wants to be seen for more than just her beauty and Tamka wants to be seen for more than just his lack of brains)

- Tamka and Nduli both are really affectionate with their mates. Infinite nuzzles, compliments, and support coming from them

- He tries to be the best dad ever for his hatchlings in the future, especially with Kutojali. Unfortunately, he just ends up embarrassing them

- I agree with the hc that if TLG had cussing in it, he’d do it the most

- He’s shown to be a bit selfless at times, saying he’d rather be the one to get hurt than any of his best friends

- He and Chungu like to roughhouse sometimes. Tamka always wins, but Chungu has gotten really close a couple of times. Though he’s better suited for being Tamka’s emotional support in return for Tamka boosting his confidence

- I’ve said this before in the tags of a previous post, but he’s basically the self-proclaimed “leader” of the Idiots. Now if only Kiburi would let him be in charge of the float when he’s gone

- Even though his time in the mafia was really brief (like a day and a half), it kind of rubbed off on him. He’ll still make mobster movie references and intimidate others mobster-style

- You know what’ll make him change his ways? Saying he’s breaking his late mother’s heart. Works every time lmao

“You’re breaking your mother’s heart”

“MAAAAA! I’M SORRY, MA! 😭”

- He and Nduli have their own Youtube channel in the Zootopia AU where they do a bunch of comedic skits and do a bunch of stupid stuff (think Smosh). They’re also Kiburi’s biggest fans and have even done collabs with each other

[devilsrecreation]

Rating headcanons on the Outlanders made by a character hc generator (in my opinion)

I can imagine her being chill to all kinds of music. 7/10

Considering what the Outlanders have done, he absolutely has. 10/10

Another 80’s guy. Yeah, I could probably see that. 7/10

Oooooh you know this could fit in my HS AU! I think Cheezi would have fun on stage. 8/10

I actually have no idea if he’d be considered ‘famous’ but I feel like he’s capable. 5/10(?)

In the og universe? Hell no. In an au like Zootopia or human…….nah. I feel like he’s capable and he’ll say stuff like “I swear, if this happens I’m gonna punch a hole in the wall” but he wouldn’t actually do it. 2/10

Seeing how hyenas are actually more related to cats than dogs and knowing her personality, she’d totally be a cat person. 9/10

Considering what my version of her parents are like, definitely. I can see her always asking her parents to do something when she was younger and her actually being paranoid they’d find her when she ran away with Goigoi. Definitely true while she was working under Scar, but since Jasiri started ruling, she doesn’t have to worry much. 9/10

Dog person through and through. 0/10 smh

HDGDGDGDFDGF

I’m gonna give it a 5/10 only bc the possibility of him being decent at it is hilarious to me 😭😭😭

[spinnysocks]

can someone please tell me why i read a tlg fic where chungu, cheezi, kiburi, tamka, nduli and janja got turned into fucking soda cans by kion's roar
