Another Update:
Another article basically saying the same stuff as before, but on the Disney.com blog blogs.disney.com/insider/2014/…
The more I read, even though there isn't a lot of info out, the more excited I am. I totally hopped right on into the excitement of this once I found out Kion is Kiara's YOUNGER brother. I'm really hoping it takes place with Kiara as an adult with Kovu and the Outlanders being a part of the Pride, but we'll see. Even if it doesn't, I'm sure the fandom could still make it work somehow. Squee, I'm excited. Shame we'll have to wait a year or two XD
UPDATE:
Got this bit of info from
's latest journal Kiara will appear as Kion's older sister tvline.com/2014/06/10/disney-j… Which means he is NOT Kopa. So stop it you Kopa-Crazies XDD. I'm glad they'll be including Kiara, I was worried that Kion would be created as an alternate child and everyone would hop on the already aggressive Kopa band wagon. Though I'm not a fan of Kion's design, I'm excited for a new character and hope to feature him in my comic eventually 
______
I got this information from
at this source blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2014/0… which looks pretty legit, seeing as it's the Wall Street Journal, but I'm still waiting for people to yell "happy very late April Fools!"
What I'm getting from the article is it's about Kion, a random, new son of Simba, who is essentially another Simba clone with reddish-pink streaked through his mane tuft, who gets together a group of animals to help protect the Pride Lands.
I actually don't mind the concept of this new Kion character, having never been a Kopa fan, but I also like Kiara and if they don't include her in this show it sort of screws up everything. Unless you consider Kion Kopa, and say he came before Kiara and died before she was born, then that's a different story. But I don't think he IS Kopa. If he was they would have named him so.
If this show is real, I'm thinking it'll be very MLP style. You know, a bunch of kids learning the meanings of friendship, right and wrong, and all that fluffy stuff. And it wouldn't surprise me if it gained a MLP type of cult following seeing as there are already tons of TLK fans, and this will just attract a younger audience who maybe haven't seen the films yet. And of course, if it's not a hoax, we can expect to see a bunch of new bases flooding DA. Yay tracers!
But other than the fact that Kion looks like Simba and Elvis had a love child with striped hair and a paw print tattoo(what bad parents, a tattoo at that age) I'm pretty excited and hope this is real. I will consider the show semi canon, and I love the introduction of new semi-canon characters. And even if they don't include Kiara in this universe, that's fine. I'm sure I can make it work.
If I continue along with the comic, I'm guessing I will have found out whether this is real or not before I even get to Simba's Reign. So there will be plenty of time to find out whether or not this is a hoax before I commit to a new character.
But honestly, I hope it's real! Because you know, if there's one new lion character, there's bound to be more!!! A whole plethora of new semi canon characters could be at our disposal!
If anyone hears anything more about this please let me know, I'll have my eyes and ears open as well. Cheers.

A Word about Discrimination: No! (LGBTQ+ Focused)
So I don’t like when I have to bring up a sensitive subject such as bigotry or intolerance but it’s time to just go over this again. I rarely have to worry too much about this in the comment section or from my followers as most creative types are pretty open minded, but it seems that whenever I post anything that has the slightest thing to do with gender identity or sexuality there is always at least one person who needs to post comments that are either subtly or blatantly ignorant or prejudiced against the LGBTQ+ community, or often more specifically gender identities. This happened when I revealed Dotty and Digger were together and raising Spotty as their own. This also tends to happen whenever I post anything about my own status within the LGBTQ+ community (pan, not sure about gender but I go by she/her or they/them and there wasn’t as much education growing up about the different gender identities so I don’t really know where I fall in regards to my gender- and that’s okay too!).
Life Update (Sorry for Delays)
The month of April has been a.... Painful one. My partner had to have his tonsils removed, which as an adult seems to take a while to recover- which is not fun. I also got some stupid flu the day after his surgery which is finally just breaking. And I did something stupid to my back on Tuesday (I think it's muscle spasms, it happens sometimes this is just a really bad flair-up). It's seriously like a death by a thousand cuts, haha. Mentally I'm doing better, the anti-sad pills seem to be helping- my manic highs aren't so manic, and my deep sads aren't 'stay in bed all day questioning the pointlessness of existence' bad anymore so... That's good! But physically? Man, my back is killing me and it would be nice if my nose could unclog... Anyway, It's been hard to fulfill my commission obligations and get pages out these past couple weeks, but rest assured the patreon will get pages, DA will go back to the 5-7 day structured upload, I will start chipping at my commissions again in short
Let's Talk AI - The Robots Will Destroy us All
So… This AI thing… I wasn’t sure if I was going to talk on this issue or not, and what it means for me, the future of art as a career, DA, and my opinion on it and stuff. Buuut it seems everyone is talking about it, and some people are leaving DA as a result, so I just wanted to let you know where I’m at. First off, AI itself is a mixed bag of…. Meh. As we know, AI generators can not actually create unique and creative images out of no-where. Like humans, it creates what it has known and observed. Unlike humans, it’s not observing things from real life and instead observes data and images online. Unfortunately, that means using the images and data of art from real-life artists that were posted online. For the sake of reference, learning, exploring ideas, and so on, I actually think AI can be a really good resource, but in no way is clicking a button with key words your own original content. It’s a hodgepodge of images stolen from real artists online, and that’s where the issue with AI
I'm Aware of the TikTok
Hey guys! So! Yesterday evening into today people have been linking me a tiktok video of a person showing off my drawing of Alastor from Hazbin Hotel. I printed it off for the person in the video, but granted didn't know they'd make a tiktok about it. I spoke with them today and they are allowed to keep the video up (I gave them permission), so please don't think they stole it from me- it was actually a gift to one of my students and I really don't want any hate being sent her way. Also, I normally try to keep my real life self separate to my internet activity here on DA and normally I do not give my students access to my socials until they graduate for their own safety and my anonymity- I just didn't predict this would happen or that it would kick off on TikTok. The video does not reveal any personal information about me or the student, but if you see it please be kind and be aware that they have my permission to post it. Also, hi to all the new watchers I've gotten as a result XD

I don't like the design of Kion. He looks like a stuck-up spoiled brat. I don't really care if the show fails, but they better not fail the MOVIE. I love MLP, so the show MIGHT be good. It really depends on the characters. The movie title is also lame. "The Lion Guard." SERIOUSLY! That's the best they can do!
Overal I'm just going to wait to see what happens next. It can't replace Mlp, and it DEFINETELY can't be better than the other TLK movies, considering the directors are different.
