Okay, hear me out: I've been afraid to post these manips for a while out of fear of being accused of some disturbing IRL things. I know this is possibly my most WTF ship, but let me ask you: Have you ever shipped something solely based on characters' personalities and how well you think they mesh together?

I hope I’m explaining this well. I’m just attracted to what their emotional, spiritual, and intellectual chemistry would be like. I like the idea of Jasmine and Simba confiding, comforting, cuddling, and just being companions for each other—not in a pet-and-owner way, but as close friends. It would be insulting to call Simba a pet. They love each other, yes, but not sexually, just romantically. Think of it as something like a platonic romance. Plus, they kinda remind me of Kenai and Nita from Brother Bear 2. And yes, I ship them because of the Whole New Underworld event from Disney Mirrorverse. 😳👉👈

I was inspired by the legends of animal bridegrooms from fairy tales, where humans and animals form deep bonds. I was also inspired by the fairy tale “The Singing, Springing Lark.” The Singing, Springing Lark is this fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm about a man who promises his daughter a singing, springing lark, but to get it, he must promise her to a lion. The lion is an enchanted prince, and she eventually falls in love with him. After many trials and magical adventures, she breaks the curse, and they live happily ever after.

I like to think of them as soulmates, each completing the other in a way that's almost mystical. Just like the Daemons from The Golden Compass, their connection goes beyond the physical, diving deep into the realm of the spiritual. They'd understand and support each other like no one else could.

I was actually inspired by this manip piece called Daemons by Boxjelly1.

This ship is based solely on FICTIONAL fairytale whimsy, so I don't want to see the words b3stiality or z00philia commented on this post, please, because those are real sexual disorders that I do NOT in any way support.

Ship names: Jasimba, Simsmine, and RoaringJewel.

At first I was going to do a collage that would only focus on Cheka and the Lion King character he is modelled after, young Simba, but after I learned that we were given a new TLK based character for the Sunset Savanna event, I decided to feature who characters in one collage. The new character I mentioned is named Neji (Kifaji on the JP server) and as you can seen is based upon Zazu. If Farena, Mufasa's TWST counterpart made a appearance in the game and event too, I would have added him and Mufasa to the collage as well. As we are dying to know what Farena looks like.

The fanart my 6 years old self wanted to draw.
