![I Cant Help But Wonder | Kovu, Regandi, & Vitani | TLK AU (READ DESC)
Yes, this is a reupload! The original video was thrown WAYYYY out of sync and I finally found the issue tonight. Moral of the story? You can NOT tweak any setting in the PD export screen god forbid shit like this happens.
(uh this is actually the second reupload of this vid tonight because I found ANOTHER ERROR. FUCK YOU PD)
OG upload date: May 3, 2025
The OG video: https://youtu.be/LE3zoqnSThs
~~~
boy oh BOY am I happy this is done. not because I hate it or anything but just because I really love the outcome. I heard ICHbW for the first time and INSTANTLY knew that I needed to do this. Itd have been done sooner if school didnt kick my ass this week.
the best part about this imo is that Regandi isnt even an OC - hes an actual character from a deleted script of TLK2! People have been debating over who Kovus parents/father are for literal years but the actual (at least, the most probable) answer has been around for over 20 years.
I wanted to have Kovus mother as Athena in this (who wasnt in the aforementioned script btw; shed have been an OC), but I decided to go with Vitani instead and I think I like that better ngl.
I tried to keep a gentle vibe on this video, hence all of the fade-outs and the lowercase text. I think I did a pretty good job :]
ALSO can yall appreciate the work I put into editing Kovus scar onto his masks please 🙏 the pngs were easy, and the clips cropped around his mouth were the easy way out. But ofc I cant do that every scene that shows both sides of his face, and I wanted to maintain consistency. That means that I had to do a LOT of removing his scar or/then keyframing it (back) onto his face. Why it bothers me so much, idfk. But it does 🤷♀️

![My Grand Plan | Kiara ft. Kovu | TLK AU
This is really rushed and shitty LMAO I Iost motivation for this approximately 1 day after starting this, and since it has an important piece of plot for my hc tlk au I kinda needed to finish it. so here yall go 🫠
This is a successor to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeCIsIY2Ngg&list=PLpuVx1WhWXiVaZztHdl4DUZ387n6toHIo&index=6.
Basically whats happening here is Regandi (Kovus father from a deleted script, for those who may not know) tells Kovu that hes welcome to come home with him, and be the heir to his kingdom.
(btw he extends the offer to Vitani also but I KINDA FUCKING FORGOT TO INCLUDE HER LMFAO but she chooses to stay in Milele for now, since her role is to protect the Pridelands and lead the Lion Guard - though she will go to visit from time to time)
Kiara is happy for Kovu, but she is also devastated because she was raised to be the queen of Milele. How could she be with Kovu if he was away in some jungle? After all, hes her second half. But Simba cannot stand to see her this way, and says she could go. So, she leaves with Kovu and Regandi, like she does in the script that Regandi is from.
Whats unaddressed here is the issue that this creates. Kiara is with Kovu and Regandi, and Kion is with Rani at the Tree of Life. Who is supposed to be the heir to Milele? Well, by dear viewer, that has not gone unthought of and has an answer! That you have to wait for ;]

![Its Over | Chaka and Kopa | TLK AU
The swear referenced at the start is at 2:03.
~~~
Now that thats out of the way, ITS DONE & IM HAPPY!! Ive only been sharing wips in KMBs server, so otherwise I kept this project very quiet.
Like Regandi, Chaka is a deleted TLK2 character. He is, according to that script, the son of Simba and Nala! Omg, why do they have so many kids in this lore...
And yes, I killed off Kopa. I originally wanted him alive but idk, Ig Chaka being the only one to survive fits better. I cant wait for all the little kids to completely skip the description and try coping in the comments 💀
Btw the ONLY reason Chaka is still alive is because hes depicted as an adult in his concept art ;-; that shit SAVED his ass. But Im glad he is still alive because of the way my headcanon AU is progressing. Hes gonna be relevant in another AU or two, thats for sure.
‼️STORY:
THE FULL/DETAILED PLOT CAN BE FOUND HERE:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mb8MYGhmbJdgC3AQNfTekV6r7z6VpCf2M3La4lFmTF8/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.q0hpxaz1w7r7
(Users on this document are fully anonymous to me.)
Shortened version:‼️
Scar wants Nala to be his mate and has a cub - Chaka - with her against her will. Some weeks after he was born, Nala finds Simba, who defeats Scar and becomes king. He and Nala soon have a son: Kopa. Nala always attempts to talk to Chaka, but Zira will not let that happen, since she is resentful that Nala killed the love of her life (Scar) and abandoned Chaka.
While at a pond, Chaka notices Scars reflection in the water and immediately goes to find Zira. Once shes there with him at the pond, Scar orders Zira to steal Kovu away from a distant (Regandis) kingdom and kill the current royal family, which she is willing to do. Chaka is tasked with luring his half brother away from pride rock once Zira returns with Kovu (and Vitani).
A few hours later, Simba notices that Kopa, Nuka, Chaka, and Zira have vanished and orders a search party. Sarabi and Sarafina find them first and rush to the princes defenses, but they are both killed by Zira and Nuka. Kopa is also murdered. In the frenzy, nobody noticed that Chaka, panicked, had fallen into the gorge.
Simba and Zira fight, resulting in her and Nukas exile. They are accompanied by other Scar supporters. Chaka wakes up from his unconsciousness a day after and flees.
