I Cant Help But Wonder | Kovu, Regandi, & Vitani | TLK AU (READ DESC) @zstarchaserrr

zStarChaser 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: 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. It'd have been done sooner if school didn't kick my ass this week.

the best part about this imo is that Regandi isn't even an OC - he's an actual character from a deleted script of TLK2! People have been debating over who Kovu's 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 Kovu's mother as Athena in this (who wasn't in the aforementioned script btw; she'd 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 ya'll appreciate the work I put into editing Kovu's scar onto his masks please 🙏 the pngs were easy, and the clips cropped around his mouth were the easy way out. But ofc I can't 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

zStarChaser 2025-05-30 | 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 ya'll go 🫠

This is a successor to youtube.com/watch?v=UeCIsIY2Ngg&list=PLpuVx1WhWXiVaZztHdl4DUZ387n6toHIo&index=6.
Basically what's happening here is Regandi (his father from a deleted script, for those who may not know) tells Kovu that he's 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, he's 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.
What's 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

zStarChaser 2025-05-27 | By the "swearing" warning in the intro, it's really just one swear at 2:03

~~~

Now that that's out of the way, IT'S DONE & I'M HAPPY!! I've only been sharing wips in KMB's 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 can't 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 he's depicted as an adult in his concept art ;-; that shit SAVED his ass. But I'm glad he is still alive because of the way my headcanon AU is progressing. He's gonna be relevant in another AU or two, that's for sure.

‼️STORY:
Scar wants Nala to be his mate (as well as as Sarabi and Zira).
He has a cub - Chaka - with her, against her will.
Some weeks after Chaka was born, Nala escapes Milele and finds Simba, who defeats Scar and becomes king, with Nala as his queen (who, unlike in regards with Scar, loved him). They soon have a son: Prince Kopa.
Nala always attempts to see/talk to Chaka, but Zira will not let that happen. She is resentful that Nala killed "the love of her life" (Scar) and abandoned Chaka (though Nala never did that, she only intended to find help for the kingdom). At this point, Zira has manipulated Chaka enough to turn him away from his mother.
Chaka leaves pride rock, bothered by Nala's presence. While at a pond, he notices Scar's reflection in the water and immediately goes to find Zira. Once she's there with him at the "magic pond," Scar orders Zira to steal Kovu away from a distant (Regandi's) 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, to the gorge where Zira wanted them to gather. Kopa, excited to spend time with his big brother, goes with him without a second thought.
A few hours later, Simba notices that Kopa, Nuka, Chaka, and Zira have all vanished and orders a search party. Sarabi and Sarafina find them all first and rush to the princes' defenses, but they are both killed by Zira and Nuka. Afterwards, Zira murders Kopa. In the frenzy, nobody noticed that Chaka, panicked, had fallen into the gorge.
When Simba finds and confronts Zira, she tells him that Kovu was supposed to be king. Enraged, he and Zira fight and she/Nuka get exiled (alongside some other Scar supporters).
Chaka wakes up from his unconsciousness a day later and flees, believing that he could never return home.
As devastated as Nala and Simba are, they know Milele needs an heir and a guard leader. So, some time later, they have princess Kiara guard-leader Kion.

Its Tough to Be a God | The Lion King AU | Collab with EnnyAnimash

zStarChaser 2025-04-25 | Before Kiros attacks Mufasa, Taka snaps back into common sense and stands with his brother. He gets his scar and names himself after it, but it is a reminder of his victory rather than his betrayal. The animals of Milele appoint them both to be their kings, but Mufasa is having some doubts - so Scar is there to quell them.
-
let me just say the decision to use Simba and Kovu bases instead of their book designs was one of the best choices I've ever made 😭

One of Us (Caleb Hyles) | Amaras Exile | The Lion King AU

zStarChaser 2025-03-26 | Amara (Kiros' sister), after discovering that she was the only known survivor of the war against her pride, is exiled from Milele by Mufasa and his subjects (to the dismay of Scar). However, upon reaching the Outlands, she meets two unexpected allies.
-
I started this the night I posted that poll about who ya'll thought Zira's mother could be so I made this in 4 days??? My hand hurt so bad one day because I was editing this for like 6 hours LMAO
but I'm pretty happy with this!! this is based off of a backstory for Zira's parents I came up with a couple weeks ago - a white lioness (Amara) is exiled, meets the strange lion, falls in love him him, and Zira is born.

also, it's worth mentioning that in my AU/headcanon/whatever, Scar receives the roar of the elders by the ancestors after he settled in Milele, who still saw good in him and the unwillingness to hurt his brother. However, the strange cobra attacked Scar, reopening the wound across his eye and infecting him with the venom that affected Kion's emotions in TLG. That, plus Mufasa not believing that the strange lion was an actual threat, turned Scar against his brother for good.
Zira doesn't know that Scar killed her father - she knows that he led a lion guard but never realized that the roar she heard was him (and, since falling in love with him as an adult, didn't consider that he was the culprit).

I loooove editing with the Balto pups and I gotta do it more often.... I'm working on making little fanmade stories for all of them; for Kiona I imagine her having a complex very similar to Walter from A Raisin in the Sun, constantly wanting to impress her family (and be famous like Kodi and Aleu) but fucks it up the first chance she gets..... I don't pair her and Dusty but it was a fun concept for the theme of this part ^^

I got this done in an embarrassingly short amount of time considering I almost immediately lost motivation for this part.... I've been sick :(

zStarChaser 2025-03-07 | ⚠️ Partially blocked in Belarus, Russia.

One night I was playing around with audio pitching and speeds in PD25 and tested it with Brother Betrayed, and tbh now I listen to this version more than the original 😭 it's so good.....
posting this to make up for the lack of content; I have my TMIY animash ver in progress but I'm just lazy 🫠 it'll be done soon

tell me its you | kion x rani (davinci test)

zStarChaser 2025-02-26 | I had some issues yesterday with PowerDirector so after my dad helped me sort it out he helped me get DaVinci (which he says is supposedly really good for editing) so I spent last night and part of this afternoon working on this!! effect/transition heavy editing isn't really my style bc it's such a hassle but I wanted to experiment with the program, which is why they're everywhere in here

I give PowerDirector a lot of shit for being really basic and stupid but at least I've used it for a year and know how everything I need works, so seeing everything DaVinci has it's like. you scare me, but I made a full 30 sec edit in a few hours with the help of a few tutorials (it's all unedited clips but SHHSHHH). I think I'll stick with PowerDirector for the time being but if I practice this I'll probably get the hang of it :'D

(btw I was inspired by a few Kion x Rani edits that popped up to this song; I haven't watched season 3 of TLG but I recently got my hands on some TLG files so why not edit with them too yk :P)

Taka Gets His Scar | Mufasa: The Lion King (Animash Style)

zStarChaser 2025-02-24 | ngl I feel a little bad for Taka here - it seemed like that he had been blinded by jealousy and made a stupid choice (joining Kiros), but was still turned away after trying to redeem himself. Ik he deserved it but damn. this movie is really trying to make us hate Mufasa-

Mufasa: The Lion King but its just the references/parallels/foreshadowing

zStarChaser 2025-02-20 | I had to re-render this video over 6 TIMES because of copyright 😭😭😭

3:09 ya'll Sarabi says it in the 1994 version too.... my dumbass forgot she says: "Simba... you're alive? How can that be?" 💀💀

I got my hands on a file of MTLK yesterday and wanted to edit smth so I just put this little compilation together, with stuff my nerdy ass noticed - some of the stuff in here may be obvious/not have been intentional but ig it's interesting nonetheless :]

Azibos Death | Mufasa: The Lion King (Animash Style)

zStarChaser 2025-02-19 | Key:
White Mufasa: Kiros
White Simba: Azibo
White Zira: Amara
White Vitani: Akua
The others are just random background lions (besides that one running lioness at 0:28, that's Amara/Akua; it's up to interpretation I didn't really think that shot through).
One day I'll make proper Amara/Akua manips but I'm too lazy KJFGSH

I added a couple of the deleted voicelines from the storyboard of the scene (at 0:05-0:19) because it just goes SO HARD... Kiros feasting on the kings of the valley?? jesus CHRIST

Taka Becomes Scar | Mufasa: The Lion King (Animash Style)

zStarChaser 2025-02-16 | "I EXPECTED TO BE PRIASED NEAR AND FAR FOR STOPPING THAT TREACHEROUS THING, BUT MUFASA JUST NICKNAMED ME 'SCAR' THEN I KNEW THAT HE SHOULDN'T BE KIIIIIIING THAT'S WHY I BECAME SCARRRRRRRR WHEN I LED THE GUARDDDDDD"
sorry

I used Kovu and Zira interchangeably here bc I reallyyy felt like using the TLK2 exile scene - I honestly might start using a mix of both Zira and Kovu to represent Taka from now on because honestly, making the Taka manips with Zira takes an annoying amount of time so using Kovu (even if I edit him like I did at 0:26) is a lot more efficient.

also I put in a storm at the end because I'm eventually gonna make the scene where Mufasa becomes king, and I want to use the scene from TLK1, where Simba roars. I forgot to put that in the poll so that might pop up randomly sometime within the next 2 months lmao

Bye Bye | Mufasa: The Lion King (Animash Style)

zStarChaser 2025-02-07 | ⚠️ Partially blocked in Belarus, Russia | Violence and blood warning (not very detailed but still)

PowerDirector didn't render this correctly the 1st time for absolutely no apparent reason I was actually about to crash out before I found the problem; for any PowerDirector 25 users: I'd recommend using framerate 29.97 💀

You'll find that this is drastically different from the og scene - I just didn't want to repeatedly edit Kiros walking around a scared pride of lions while singing for 2 minutes ok 💀BTW David Colman's storyboard for this scene looked SO GOOD... the choreography of the animals would have looked a bit awkward with the live-action style, I'll admit, but at least the scene is stylized and creative!! the studio just looked at it and went "oh, this is so original! GET RID OF IT" istg 😭
I showed the massacre of Obasi's pride because I totally thought it would be in the movie ngl - at the very least, I expected a fight. But the movie just cuts away to another scene before any actual battle happens and it's like, wow... I know Kiros and his pride literally killed an ENTIRE valley of lions but it's kinda hard to take him seriously if he can't even kill a single teenage lion on screen, yk

also can I point out the stupidity of the choice to remove the female background singers from the final scene??? it sounds so incredibly dumb... in the soundtrack version, the lionesses are saying "Like a dream that just doesn't let up, let up/And you scream 'cause you cannot get up, get up!" while Kiros is singing "strong~," and then they go "So long" at the end. But in the movie, the first two lines aren't even there, and the "so long" is partially cut so it just sounds like the lionesses are going "AAAAAhhhhhh" and it just sounds so boring (hence why I added it back in here) 😭

Character Key:
White Mufasa: Kiros
White Kovu: Shaju
White Simba: Azibo
White Vitani: Akua
White Zira: Amara
Dark Brown Nala: Eshe
Orange/Black-maned Simba: Obasi
Light Orange-maned Simba: Chigaru
Kiara w/ Duckflower: Teen Sarabi
Everyone else are just random characters

I Always Wanted a Sister! ~ Unfinished GK999 AU Animatic

zStarChaser 2025-02-05 | Since I'm sure most of ya'll came from the Mufasa content here's a message for you: this is a small look into my reigning hyperfixation!
-
It's always pissed me off how Ba-Jin and her friends literally vanished after arc 2 and are never brought up again like COME ON NOW....... the idea of good zombies befriending the NPCs REALLY should've been explored more, even if it wasn't the main plot of a book. Like how is Ba-Jin doing?? How are ANY of the painted zombies doing??? are they even still alive????? I have QUESTIONS
(I'm aware that a main character in the Farlands sequel series is a nice zombie named Er-Lan but I haven't been reading it 😭 really took Mark 18 books huh)
This AU just kinda circulates around the idea of Ba-Jin, Monet, and Stitcher bonding because I stand by the idea that they would be an awesome trio and that Ba-Jin should've interacted with the NPCs a bit more.... by a bit I mean a LOT MORE

Characters:
Blue: Monet
Dark Green: Ba-Jin
Red: Stitcher
Orange: Hunter
Music Notes: Oracle
