August 18, 2013: Good news! EVERY. SINGLE. BIT. Of ATEV is now accessible on my tumblr. Every detail, every plot twist. There's even OUTLINES for those who don't like reading an ocean of text after several years. I'm sorry this isn't exactly a new chapter, but I kept my promise, and I won't leave my readers hanging. Thank you to everyone who loved reading ATEV all these years :)

The Lion King Meme

Favorite character?

Shenzi/Banzai/Ed (I can't choose)

Least favorite character?

Zira. I like my females villains cunning, not delusional.

Characters who never met but you wish had?

The hyenas and Nala...a little less hostile.

Most likable character?

Ed! Even fans who don't like the bad guys love him.

Character you wish got more development?

At least one of the hyenas

Character you used to hate but now love

I don't love Nuka, but I did used to hate him; now I just see him as the .

Characters you used to love but now hate

I used to think everybody new in TLK 2 was ok...now I pretty much despise everybody but Vitani. She saw when enough was enough, and seemed less delusional than everyone.

Which TLK character do you relate to

Maybe Nala. She has to deal with convincing people to get back on their feet, I'm sure that gets tiring.

Favorite outside-the-movies character

I'd have to say Kopa, slight chance TLK 2 would've been a lot more interesting

Favorite deleted character

Mheetu

Favorite deleted scene

I've seen very few, but I'd say the "Be Prepared" reprisal, even though I prefer that it wasn't in the movie

Favorite area in the movie

The Elephant Graveyard

Favorite score

The Hyenas'; it resembles them perfectly. Dark but still humorous.

Favorite songs

...Can't choose.

Favorite quote

"And man are they-"

"UUUUUUUUUUGLY!"

Favorite species

It isn't obvious at this point?

Favorite group (Pridelanders, outlanders, etc),

Again, obvious.

Favorite TLK videogame (besides the Pride Lands levels of KH)

Sadly I haven't played much, so I'll go with the good ol' Sega Genesis!

Funniest moment

"They call me MR. PIG! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Saddest moment

Mufasa's death

Scariest moment

The part where Scar forces a hyena into a pryo fissure

Happiest moment

The ending was phenomenal, wraps it all up perfectly

Which of the trilogy is your fav.

TLK 1

Do you consider the sequels and/or TLK6NA canon

Well...Disney allowed them to be made; to debunk them as canon would be pretty fruitless.

What do you think of the Kimba controversy

Disney didn't rip-off Kopa...or didn't mean to

Pet peeves you have (one for each movie),

TLK 1--Should've shown the hyenas didn't die

TLK 2--The WHOLE thing; I mean Scar got a dozen cameos in TLK 2, you might as well have called it "The Lion King 2: Letting Go of the Past...by constantly bringing it up"

TLK 1 1/2--If they're gonna make a big deal out of hyenas so much, show some backstory on them too!

Crack pairings you've heard of

Zira/Ed

Do you want another sequel (if so, involving what)

NO.

Could Scar really be Kovu's father

Even if it made more sense, that'd make it a bit inconvenient for him to score with Kiara now wouldn't it?

Could Vitani or Nuka be Scar's?

I don't think so. I don't see how it's sensible if they're approved as his if Kovu is discounted.

Is Kovu emo?

Maybe just a little...

Do you think Zazu is obnoxious?

Oui, but he's funny, no?

Do you believe the Timon/Pumbaa thing?

Nah, they're bestest-best friends.

Was Simba too overprotective in the sequel?

Yeah. But if Zira really did kill Kopa you can't blame him.

Is Kiara truly a ditz?

...Where do I start? It's almost if Ariel had a lionized cousin.

What do you think happened to the hyenas after LK 1?

I think they took a momentary withdraw while the Scar situation died down.

What did you think of the Timon and Pumbaa series?

It was great, but went a little too heavy on the anthro elements.

Do you believe in the Shenzi/Banzai theory?

Oh yeah First OTP of my life.

Do you think it could ever tie into other Disney movies (if so, which ones)?

I think it's great on its own

What's up with Nala's eye color?

A very confusing force...or lazy animators.

Thing the makers changed that you wish they hadn't?

It might've been interesting to see what other lines Sarafina had

Have you seen TLKoB (if so, did you like it)

No, but I can wish...

Do you like anthro/human/AU's

Sure. If all done in good taste. I've seen some pretty good highschool universes that were done believably.

Voice actors you loved

Everybody's--they all did a great job, and were commited to their characters.

Did you know Jim Cummings (voice of Ed) covered for Jeremy Irons (voice of Scar) at the end of "Be Prepared"?

Not until I joined fanfiction.net

Do you consider Scar/Zira to be an official pairing?

No. Besides my reasoning for all her cubs not being Scar's, she seems more like an obsessed fan.

What do you think happened to Sarabi in the second movie?

I think she was still around if Sarafina was, just not pictured.

Do you think Scar is Nala's father?

Nope. She would've looked a little like him, and Nala's father was thrown on the cutting room floor of the first movie; though he is not used, he's confirmed not to be Scar.

Do you think Ed is mentally challenged?

How do you know that's not what he wants you to think?

Own any TLK merchandise?

Just a few small plastic figurines.

Were the hyenas' actions justified?

Oh yeah, bigtime. agrees with me.

Were Scar's actions justified?

Well even if his family DID treat him like crap he still got to live at Priderock instead of being driven off as in the wild for being a rival male. And if it's rumored that he's Nala's father he must've been allowed to mate. And if he could secretly form an alliance with the hyenas he must've had all the freedom of the Pridelands...so...no. He still tried to kill his brother and his kid nephew. Not to mention he nearly starved his entire kingdom out of pride. Frankly Scar's death was the best Disney villain's punishment I've seen.

Were Zira's actions justified?

Nope. Her intentions were based on avenging Scar. She just used the betterment of her pride as a scapegoat; she could've cared less if her own daughter died.

Why do you think the Outlanders were still loyal to Scar?

Perhaps Zira persuaded them, wouldn't be hard to if they'd been exiled by Simba.

Crossovers you like?

KH is pretty awesome.

Do you find Timon and Pumbaa enjoyable or annoying?

Hakuna Matata, what a wonderful phrase!

The best king or king-to-be.

Mufasa (sorry Simba)

The best queen or queen-to-be

Nala

Timon or Pumbaa?

Timon's a self-centered loudmouth at times but he cares, and Pumbaa's just an awesome friend. I won't choose.

Kiara or Kopa?

Kopa

Scar or Mufasa?

Mufasa, Mufasa, Mufasa!

Simba or Kovu?

Simba

Scar or Zira?

Urgh...eh...which one is less fire retardent?

Simba or Zira?

Simba

Simba or Scar?

Simba

Kiara or Nala?

Nala

Mufasa or Simba?

Simba, he seems more approachable

Zazu or Gopher?

Zazu

Shenzi or Banzai or Ed?

Love 'em all

Ma or Uncle Max?

Ma, she's much sweeter

Sarabi or Sarafina?

Sarabi

Rafiki or Zazu?

Rafiki. He has obnoxious moments too, but his are much funnier.

Simba/Nala or Mufasa/Sarabi?

Simba/Nala

Shenzi/Banzai or Shenzi/Ed?

Shenzi/Banzai over any pairing.

Scar/Zira or Scar/Nala?

...The former is less disgusting.

Sarafina/Scar or Shenzi/Scar?

Sarafina/Scar, if only because I find the other disturbing

Kovu/Kiara or Vitani/Kopa?

Vitani/Kopa

Describe the movie in three words
