justice 4 clover

Disclaimer: This is mainly based on my theory that King Julien the Terrible is the alternate name of King Julien I. (As in he was re-named when re-elected as King and became a tyrant)

I’ll explain my theory like a story because it’s easier! Get comfy because this is a pretty long post!:

King Julien the Terrible, (currently King Julien I) hired a younger Grandma Rose, as his bodyguard, back in the early days of Madagascar. But soon, King Julien I had a son, Julien II. To keep his son safe he locked him away in his hut in the baobab tree, never to be seen by the kingdom. And he didn’t plan for his son to take over as King.

But Julien I wasn’t the best king, and soon there was a revolution (Similar to LALA if it actually worked), and he was kicked off the throne and banished from the kingdom. Julien II took his place. Now Julien I was angry that his kingdom and Rose had betrayed him in favour of his son, and I guess that’s kinda his villain origin story lol. One day he sent for his son to visit him, to gift him with Gecko Milk, which obviously isn’t actual gecko milk, because that’s not a real thing, but actually an untested poison.

He had planned to poison his son and blame Rose by claiming she was the perpetrator, then reclaim his throne and be seen as a hero. However, this plan was only half successful. Instead of dying, Julien II turned into the Night Creature, and was immediately hunted by Rose, who killed him. Then only after he was dead did Julien I reveal the antidote and turn him back into the - now dead - King Julien II. Rose was immediately seen as a monster for what she’d done, and banished too. But Julien I didn’t get his crown back. He was also hated for not stepping in sooner and letting the king be killed. This only made him more angry. A 1 year Julien III was put on the throne instead.

Rose was of course, very angry at Julien I, for taking away her respect and making her look like a horrid monster, and it lead to her trapping Julien I in a cave with his tail tied under a rock, then rewriting/altering the history book to make it seem that the creature was just a raving monster and not her beloved king.

Theory time! But about the long lifespan part? Well this is where Mort comes in. He consumes souls as a means to live longer. Well, what if both Julien I and Rose did too, but for different reasons. Julien I to reclaim his throne (and eventually become King Julien the Terrible, and then come back in AHKJ to take over our current King Julien), but Rose did it to train her children and grandchildren to protect their kings.

(Also what if Mort was there on scene with Julien II and remembers watching him die, but he’s too dumb to mention it lol)

Though it’s clear they can still be killed by murder but they can’t die of natural causes. Obviously Julien the Terrible was killed by lightning and Rose died to Victor Wildebeest, and Mort just gets unusually lucky with his survival, and also they probably don’t physically age once they start consuming souls which is why Mort still looks like a child because he has the body of one.

I would probably assume Soul Consumption isn’t practiced now and Mort’s the current only know person still doing it. Otherwise so many other villains would’ve probably tried it by now.

Jover doodle page! (Julien x Clover)

I'm trying to make a new layout for the AHKJ ten year anniversary sets that isn't so ugly and I am Struggling. I'm talking index cards full of sketches and calculations trying to make these pixels add up 😭

This is why all shows ever should be weekly releases! I'm definitely at the point of thinking it would be far less work to just make separate gifsets for each episode than to fit 13 episodes into one gifset without it looking like trash 😂

@lemurblog was curious to see the index cards so consider this a sneak peak of the gifset lol!

First is the initial draft, second has all the proper measurements + guidelines to put into photopea, and third is the final clean version. As you can see it was initially going to be four big gifs like the first few anniversary sets but then I realized that was making it unnecessarily complicated so I ended up splitting them all into smaller sections lol

As I said, I redesigned this because I feared the other layout was ugly; my new fear is that this one might be a bit too long to scroll through. But I refuse to mess with it more so we're done here, until season 4 at least 👏

OKAY SURE!!!!!!

2 for 1 deal. clover comes with the mort package
