TLG Human AU shenanigans

Tamka: Kiburi!

Nduli: Kiburi!

Both: KiburiKiburiKiburiKiburiKiburiKiburiKiburiKiburiKibu-

Kiburi: What?!

Nduli: Sorry Kiburi, we just wanna let you know something!

Kiburi: Yeah? And what’s that?

Nduli: We love you, Kiburi :)

Kiburi: ….And?

Tamka: And we want a Nokia N-Gage

Kiburi: No you don’t! It went defunct it 2006!

Nduli: Actually, it was in 2007

Kiburi: You know the year it went defunct! Why do you want it?!

Tamka: Cuz it looks cool!

Kiburi: You said that about the OUYA Ya bought last week

Tamka: The OUYA doesn’t have any games

Kiburi: I told you that before we bought it, neither will this!

Nduli: But Kiburi, it’s so cooooooool!

Kiburi: I don’t even think you can play games on that thing! It was a phone service!

Tamka: But Ucheshi said this stuff was awesome!

Kiburi: ……….Boys, stay here

Nduli: Okay, Kiburi.

*Lake Matope or whatever the human equivalent is*

Kiburi: Have you been telling them to buy outdated electronics?

Ucheshi: Yes.

Kiburi: WHY?!

Ucheshi: Because you hurt my boyfriend, fuck you, dude.

Kiburi: Ucheshi, I swear to God-

#this is crack i’m sorry #source: doobus goobus #ucheshi would though #she’s not always the best influence 😭 #i was debating either ucheshi and the crocs or janja and the jackals #lmao imagine janja telling dogo and goigoi to buy outdated electronics cuz reirei tried to kill him or smth #crack #tlg outlanders #oc #the lion guard

[beauceronn]

My toxic trait is that all of the breeds I'm interested in are rare breeds that are impossible to find

#sigh #except collies but ive said it before ill only get a collie from 2 breeders total and like 3 bitches total between them #i think beauces besides collies are the most popular of the breeds i have an interest in #cirnechi? good luck theres like 2 around here and they almost never show #dogos? good luck theres 1 that shows consistently and 99% of dogo owners are the most toxic people youve ever met #german pinschers? good luck there are 0 that show in the state and a nonexistent breed community (that ive seen) #laekenois? good luck there are 0 that show in the state and the community is teensy tiny and concentrated on the coast #so unfair. wish i had different tastes. lol #i really want to meet a laek because i want to see how they compare to the other belgians #i know theyre all 'the same breed' but groens/tervs/mals are all different here in the states ime #groens and tervs are quite similar #but mals are a lot more intense (id say show lines are pretty similar across the three but i like mals the best out of the show lines) #also the sex differences between the belgians are CRAZY #the males look like totally different dogs #i prefer bitches in every breed (maybe not in appearance in dogos) but geez the difference is stark in belgians #the bitches are teensy tiny #cutest little pointy things #males are big and square with SO much coat. too much coat #i draw the line at a rough collie bitch. we will have one (1) fluffy dog in my house. LOL

This ridiculous (affectionate) little baby boy is 9 months old today ❤️

#topo chico #he's a great dogo #he's happy funny friendly he loves to train and he still thinks chewing high value stuff on you is the best #he has also learned how to be kind to the cats 💕 #he's never been mean just intense and I was expecting it to take much longer #I'm sure he'll realize that he's a teen soon but otherwise of his fears of people he's nice to be around most of the time

What would happen if an eaper had a child tho? Would the child inherit their divine abilities? I cant stop thinking about the possibilities

Honestly?? I don't think they would- unless the patron would bless the kid with something, you know? And even then it'd be much simpler things compared to their Esper parent, like, maybe something like being blessed with extreme luck or charisma- simple stuff instead of full body/power changes. Or if they do have physical changes it's extremely small, like, Sander's kid(s) getting his red eyes or something like that- just, very, very insignificant in hindsight.

Though, I do think that there's the off chance of the patron jumping to the kid from the parent, but it really depends on the patron and if the kid is something special and I mean fucking special because I don't think they'd mindlessly jump from person to person. I think they're just kind of.... like, "this is my person and no one else can have them" :D

NOW, DO I THINK MOST OF THE PATRONS WOULD BE PROTECTIVE OF/GOING OUT OF THEIR WAY TO KNOW THE KID?? YEAH

Because in all technicality that being is an extension of their person's blood- the compulsion to protect them to some degree is there. But also this is a tiny person forming, there has to be some curiosity in there for them somewhere.

#Here kids have the power to see lies #i personally think Fafnir would be one of the best because 1) huge ass dogo and 2) I just think he'd be very soft with a kid because #it's pure and not something that actively tries to hurt him #it's harmless kind of useless and perfectly tiny #i do think it'd be kind of bittersweet for the furry squad tho if the babies got some of their old features #you know?? it's kind of like seeing a piece of yourself that was forcibly ripped away from you in something so tiny and defenseless #sander would probably be a bit distant because of it #but he'd come around #eventually #djoser would love his kids either way and they'd get some fat kisses on thier foreheads #drew is so soft with his kid(s) and he'll just lay on his tummy and watch his kid(s) when they fall asleep on the floor #like #they probs get his pretty purple eye color because Anubis was like or some shit #at least that's what he says it's actually for aesthetics #not a reblog. #dislyte #answered! #thank you dear!

Since a few days Ive been thinking about that I want to give Aidan and Ashina a dog 🐶❤️ But i cant choose 100% which breed would suite them the best. Tell me what do you think? here my fav's

I guess Great Dane is a beautiful, beautiful dog and would fit them really good, because I think it has to be a "big" dog for them. They are family friendly (!?) smart, calm and gentle giants but can very protective too ♥

A Pitbull would fit them good too, they are very energetic - that suites Aidan very good because he joggs a lot. they are also loyal and protective. But they are stubborn too ~

Thats a Dogo Argentino and similar to pitbull, also energetic protective and kinda aggressive.

The rottweiler cant be missed here and i think its my second fav after the Great Dane just because they are beautiful aswell. Strong, confident, obedient and very intelligent. They are also good family dogs :3 What do you guys think?♥ btw all dog breeds are by @blue-ancolia

Undead Unluck Cinderella!AU: The Masterpost

Hi :3 it's been a while, but i had been non-stop drawing to bring you all the Cinderella!AU cast with UU characters, i will write the basics of the story later bc i'm incapable of writing long paragraphs.

The drawing that made me start this AU

Let's start with our protagonist, Fuuko as Cinderella:

But our dear protagonist needs her mice friends:

We got our mains first: Haruka, Top, Gina, Sean and Chikara, taking the places of Jaq and Gus

I remember that there were mice kids/children, the younglings!

Phil, Bunny, Tatiana, Lucy and Betty (almost forgot her)

Mice! Veronica and Tella are here to take care of them/protect them from the evil cats

With how many chores have to be done everyday around the house, there have to be some specialised mice:

In the kitchen, Billy works with the sweets, Enjin helps with the almost everything (he's too passionate for this job) and Rip cuts the veggies. Yusai can´t be let near the drinks alone, but she always knows the best one for the occasion.

There's so many clothes that need mending and cleaning, the Sewing Team: Latla, Kurusu and Leila, are the right mice to do the job.

(ps. i bet Kurusu and Gina smugled that book to make cute dresses for Fuuko)

Sooo many books to keep clean and organised in this house, good thing Mice Anno Un and Akira are doing their damn best to keep the house library in peak condition, they even have the time to dramatise Fuuko's favorite romance books for everyone

Mouse Feng does everything around the house, why? because he wants to be better than Fuuko in everything

Miscellaneous Mice bcs i don't know in what role do they fit: Grandpa Isshin, Creed, Mei, Shen, Mui, Mui's little brother (do we even know his name?), Ms. Hawkins and Void.

And we can't forget our dear doggo Burn, taking dog Bruno's place

This Au is not complete without some villains

Human! Luna as Lady Tremaine, BUT she's not Fuuko's stepmother, Lady Luna is a distant relative, grandfather's niece and further kinda deal

Lady Luna has three kids:

Big Brother Soul, the kind of person to say "BuT wE aRe FaMiLy" when he does something bad to Fuuko but would absolutely not tolerate any of Fuuko's mistakes

Middle Brother Apocalypse, evil? no, no, no, he's a tsundere, the kind to say "i'm not washing the clothes because i want to help you or anything! it's just that you are too clumsy". Fuuko sees right through his bullshit and thanks him eveytime she can to Apocchy's embarrassment

And Little Bother/Sister Ruin (i'm more inclined to fem!Ruin), she's considerably more aggressive to Fuuko than the rest, her aggressiveness spurred on by her mom Luna and big brother Soul. Apocalypse has tried to help her to no avail.

THE CAT! Why should we limit ourselves to one evil cat, when we can have FOUR?

Shadow hides in the dark corners and stairs, waiting for an unsuspecting victim, putting themselves in the middle of the path to make them trip

Blood wakes up and craves violence, he scratches the furniture, the curtains and people... Fuuko stays the fuck away from this evil cat

Spoil can't be let alone with the food, he steals it but he doesn't eat it, no, he enjoys watching it spoil and the faces of disgust from the people that find his masterpiece, fortunately dogo Burn is always guarding the kitchen.

Seal enjoys watching the desperation in peoples' faces as he slowly pushes the fine glassware from the top drawer to the cold hard floor, unfortunately for Seal, Mouse Feng is always watching

Do you remember the Gran Duke? the poor man was so close to die, but for this AU, we have the Grand Duke and Duchess, Nico and Ichico (Which one is who is up to you)

We got our King! King Juiz, KING JUIZ, KING JUIZ!!!

If you saw the third animated Cinderella movie, you would remember the Queen's paintings, and i decided that we need a Queen (an alive one), salute our dear Queen: Queen Victor!! (do you forgive me for putting him on a dress? 🥺)

At last, we need our prince for this AU, but why have only one?!

Crown Prince Andy and Second Prince(ss) Julia

We need our Fairy Godmother to bring some miracles to life! And i couldn't pick anyone else for this role than my beloved, Spring 🌸

Let him have some fun!!

This is the real last one, but although it wasn't a sentient character, it would be unforgivable not casting Clothy as Fuuko's dress

(Can you imagine what Andy would do to Clothy once he discovers that he's Fuuko's dress? 💀)

That's all the character designs for this AU, and now i can start drawing some scenes for this AU.

Enjoy this AU compiled timelapse for all the designs in the meantime!

[v-anrouge]

You’ve opened the flood gates of me and my love of dogs, so I’m giving EVERYONE a dog breed!

Riddle: bichon frisé, à very cutie small white puffball of a dog, but are high maintenance with their coats and mental stimulation. One of the smarter dog breeds, but also with a need to please. One of the healthiest dog breeds I know of (they never die! Like ever!), but with a need for schedules. Because of the need for mental stimulation, they are a breed that needs strict rules, and strict schedules or they get confused and frustrated.

Trey: some sort of Rottweiler. Laid back, family loving, happy to sit in the presence of others. Not overly large, but still needing exercise, but also happy to just sit on the couch. Also, I feel their stockier build best fits Trey

Cater: shih tzu or Pekingese, both are one of the most ancient breeds, once only allowed to only be owned by the royal Chinese family, some where even given standings in courts! They adore attention, and affection, but tend to only listen to a select few, if any. Cater is a difficult character to get to trust, much like a shih tzu, but I feel once he does trust you he’s attached at the hip much like a Pekingese

Deuce: pit bull. There is no other dog breed I can think of for Deuce that fits as well as a pittie! Tough and aggressive? Yes. Also a loving big baby? Yes. When trained properly, pits are great dogs, but because they can have short tempers, it’s best to not leave them unaccompanied around children. They’re STRONG, so people who can’t wrestle one to the ground if needed shouldnt own one.

Ace: Affenpincher, sassy brats of dogs who would die for their people but refuse to listen to them. One of the more “human like” dogs as they will hold a grudge, and they’ve got an attitude to rival a sassy toddler!

Leona: basset hound, stubborn, can be lazy, but when they put their minds (or noses) to something nothing gets them off track! While bassets aren’t the smartest breeds, I think they fit enough for Leona to be an outlier (nearly said Rhodesian ridgeback because they were breed to hunt lions! Lol)

Ruggie: (hyenas are closer related to cats than they are dogs! But they actually have their own class so whatever) I struggled! But I think lab fits best. They’re basically walking stomachs, and will do anything for food! They are easy to train when given treats, but also have a tendency to just start doing tricks if you’re eating something they want. Intelligent, and friendly reminds me of Ruggie.

Jack: dogo Argentino. A dog if more popular would give pits a run for their money with the villianization! STRONG dogs, we’re originally bread to hunt wild boars, they’re tough dogs! And while extremely loyal, they have a tendency to refuse to attack who they deem as friends. Super courageous (that word took me four tries to spell) they’re high energy with a need to please their people!

Azul: Japanese Akita, loyal but reserved around strangers, these are smart dogs! They tend to be more socially difficult when around other dogs, tending to snap and resource guard, but with their people they are ready to share, sometimes… they’re more reserved with affection, but if you get down they won’t refuse some love and kisses

Jade: Basenji, also known as Africa’s “backless dog” is a silent but intelligent hunting breed! They tend to hide in the shadows before striking, but also love their few people they allow in their circle. NOT family dogs as they don’t like many people, but great for a small household.

Floyd: Central Asian Shepard, NOT FOR MOST DOG OWNERS! I’ve got my gripes! CSA are dogs that NEED jobs, they’re breed to protect livestock in Mangolia and Northern China. These dogs are powerful, and known to hunt down wolves nearby! But they’re babies with their owners, even if they prefer staying outdoors, they won’t turn down a snack or cuddle. But also indépendant where they’ll find their own food

Kalim: golden retriever, loving, friendly, though not the smartest, just a ball of sunshine.

Jamil: Chinese crested (one of my favorite breeds!) are smart, sassy dogs who LIVE for praise. They tend to be picky eaters, and don’t always do well with other dogs as they can be attention hogs, but they are also breed to hunt rats on Chinese trading shops, so they need a lot of exercise

Vil: standard poodle, OR a doberman (partly cause dobies are one of my favorite breed!) both are extremely intelligent, but also can be aggressive when around new dogs as they like being incharge.

Rook: borzoi coonhound mix. Originally I said fox hound, but coonhounds have a sleeker look, and a friendlier personality. Borzois are gorgeous and would die for their people, but are dumb as a box of rocks. Coonhounds are not as pretty, but not ugly either, and known to live for praise. Both are hunting breeds and need their exercise, or they will find some way to exercise (coonhounds are also escape artists)

Epel: i can only see Epel as a yorkie. Big personality, underestimated, super pretty, need of mental and physical stimulation. It just fits him perfectly!

Idia: Carolina, shy and suspicious little buggers who prefer quiet homes, with little activity’s around. But they need their mental stimulation as well. Not the smartest breed, but not the dumbest, they’re independence can get them into trouble though.

Ortho: English Cocker Spaniel (Lady from Lady and the Tramp) are friendly, sweet and loving dogs. They will bend over backwards for their people, and are just some of the sweetest dogs I have ever met!

Malleus: Komodor, the dog that looks like a mop. They’re strong sheepdogs who are willing to die to protect their flock. Soft and docile around their people, but reserved around strangers, they can even come off as agressive when you’re just starting to know them.

Lilia: Icelandic Sheepdog, the only breed from Iceland! Friendly, faithful and charming, their such sweeties! They do their job then come trotting back for a pat.

Silver: German Shepard, strong, sturdy, and protective. One of the best guard dog breeds I can think of, and amazing to train! Ready to please, and ready to play!

Sebek: bull terrier, head strong, loyal, and can be downright aggressive in their love! Their the dog to bowl you over when you get home! They’re hard working dogs who need exercise!

I really love dogs man!

How does it feel to be 100% correct and right 🎤

christmastime tlg outlanders headcannons!

listen. i am very well aware human ideas of christmas wouldn't work in the lion guard-verse, but many religions also celebrate various traditions at christmastime so i imagine the lion guard-verse has their own traditions and holidays including their own version of christmas. for simplicity, they're just getting festive in this lmao

also, some of these might fit a human au better than their canon animal-verse but let me be creative just this once 😭

jasiri forces everyone to wear a specially-created christmas jumper / AT THE LEAST an accessory. if someone didn't show up in it they get banned from the food (everyone caves in for the mutual love of Food)

she also gets as many of them as possible to sing festive songs. which is a terrible idea really bc most of them who willingly sing are not the best (see @devilsrecreation 's post) 💀 but she just wants to bring a festive spirit

i'd like to think they'd try decorating but like. what is there to decorate lmao it's BARREN. they find a dead tree or funky shaped rock or something 😭

madoa uses her babysitting skills to come up with festive games. it's a great idea to get everyone together but some of them are a bit more competitive, and others start having a fit as soon as the game doesn't go their way

OH MY GOD they do a secret santa. that would go so badly.

goigoi is literally the dad/uncle who passes out as soon as the food is eaten

dogo and kijana are definitely the kids who are waking their parents up at the crack of dawn. poor reirei and goigoi lmao

prettyyy dang sure they live too far up in africa for snow... but if they didn't: nne and tano start a snowball fight. originally they just see who they can hit without getting caught, but they accidentally hit the back of kenge's or kiburi's head and he slowly turns around to look at them like a fucking owl 😭 and then its WAR

shupavu and njano would want to participate in snowball-throwing but have you seen the size of them. if a snowball landed on the skinks or sumu they'd disappear under it

don't @ me about their seasons bc idk. but in my climate christmastime is cold. the reptiles are forced to cuddle up to keep warm, you can guess who hates it 😭

and finallyyy, i feel like it would funny af if the hyena and jackal pups wanted to go find their version of "santa" to prove they're real. the idiots go with them as possibly the worst supervision ever

today is christmas eve for me! no matter the timezone or what you celebrate, merry christmas and happy holidays! :D

edit: i just watched national lampoon's christmas vacation and the events of that film are so what would happen in the outlands 😭😭

Hi! I've never really used an ask before, and I'm not sure If this is the best way to ask or if commenting would be better or something, I'm still fairly new to Tumblr and getting used to it still, but I really liked your woof woof Johnny series and it's fully inspired me to create like a werewolf/weredog(ig?) Au with most of the characters, based off of your story, and ig I was just wondering if you're ok with that?

I already have some plot thought out and most of the characters already have their dog breed, like Johnny is a brown German shepherd and ghost is a dogo Argentino and Gaz is a Harlequin beauceron bc he has pretty boy privileges thru and thru, and captain is a Bernese Mountain Dog, and Alejandro and Rudy and Nikolai and Alex and König and Horangi all have their breeds picked out too! Anyways that's all I think, I hope you're having a good day so far!

I think I saw you comment on a different ask lmao but it’s no trouble. You’re absolutely welcome to write your own fics/thoughts/whatever if you tag me!!

[beauceronn]

I see a lot of people who remind me of me when I was a kid, who get their hearts set on a breed that obviously don't suit their needs. Learning more about the breeds I love has really shown me what my limits are. I could not offer a CAO a fulfilling life, I could not offer an Anatolian a fulfilling life, a Tibetan Mastiff, etc.... I cannot presently offer a Dogo a fulfilling life, nor any other working hound.

It's not a matter of "I will never be able to" but a matter of "I am unable to now and in the foreseeable future." I do not have property, I do not have stock to guard, I do not hunt. Reconciling that has been hard. Maybe one day I will be able to give a Dogo or a CAO a fulfilling life, but today is not that day, nor is tomorrow or the next day.

On the other hand, I had given up on Beaucerons a few years ago as a pipe dream, because I had been told time and time again that they were Too Much dog... like a 100-lb WL Malinois. And then I met them and realised oh, no, this IS the perfect breed for me. This is a breed that checks almost all of my boxes (except some aesthetic ones which aren't as important to me). This is a breed I can offer a fulfilling life to.

(Someone told me they were a "step up" from a Lab... I would agree. Maybe not a "step up" but certainly a little to the left... probably because of the difference between sporting and herding breeds.)

I don't know. The list of breeds I want in the future is insanely long, but I do my best to have no illusions about these breeds and about myself. I love herding and I love conformation. I don't enjoy hunting, and I probably never will. I like ringsport and rally/obedience. I don't like agility, and I probably never will.

Thinking a lot of thoughts this morning I see.

#motivated by those two posts in the fb group this week. #its like... tell me you dont know caucasian shepherds without telling me you dont know caucasian shepherds. '' beaucerons. #its fine to not know a breed but to keep trying to jam that breed into the mould of what you want when it clearly doesnt fit... #thats something i tried to do a lot as a kid #caucasian shepherds/gamprs/tibetan mastiffs were some of my favourite breeds #and ill probably never own ANY of them. and thats fine. i can enjoy them through my friends' dogs #and thats as close as ill get
