Scorm and the Scorpions are living in the Rhino Canyons and Scorm is learning about things like "microaggressions". Braptor and his Bats live with the Ravens and are dealing with people who have figured that they can do whatever they want to the Bats without repercussions.

Lagravis had dragged his younger brother to a corner and hoisted him up before slapping his face very hard which resulted in Lavertus yelping in pain.

“YEOW!!!!! WHAT THE DAMN FUCK?!” He cursed loudly, causing his little nephew, Lucas, to come into the room.

“Daddy? Why is Unky Lavertus screaming?” He asked innocently, his father smiled warmly at his 10 year old son’s question.

“Because your uncle is being a douchebag.” He replied with a mischievous grin. Lavertus gave his brother a betrayed look.

“I’m the douchebag?” He asked in a sarcastic manner, to which Lagravis explained with a deadpan face.

“You literally just fainted because you saw Crominus’ wife Spinlyn.” He pointed out, while his brother exasperated.

“Try living with them before the Illumination!!!” He retorted, causing Spinlyn some concern.

“But if we were healed, why are you still acting like this?” She questioned the brothers, the king replied.

“My wife would have gone completely insane from the event if I hadn’t been calming her down.” He relayed, while Lavertus gulped and revealed.

“And… I was… getting busy…” He started to say, but his majesty covered his mouth and scolded him.

“We have a kid in the room.” He flatly said, making his younger brother annoyed.

“Ok. Ok. I'll keep it PG.. I was trying to become a father.. I succeeded but their mother isn’t a lion.. Don’t ask me who because she demanded that I don't tell anyone.” He explained, causing the rest of the group some concern. They were interrupted by LIllian, and Crominus, who had warm smiles on their faces. Lagravis jumped up, and raced to his wife, smothering her in kisses. Crominus went to his queen, took her hand in his and gently kissed it. Lavertus, being the jealous type, got in between his brother and his wife before stealing their kiss. Lagravis roared in frustration, while Lillian gave him a flat expression before punching him into a wall. After hearing the thud, Lothar came out of his room, walked over to his daughter and grabbed her ear, yanking it.

“Lillian… I said we use our powers for good, not make a dent in the wall because of a stupid lion’s decision.” He lightly scolded her, while Crominus tried to pull Laveretus out of the hole.

“This is why you don’t get along with any of us.” He pointed out in vain as he struggled to get him out. Leonidas walked over and effortlessly pulled him out, which made Crominus a bit grateful and jealous at the same time. Lothar gently sighed as he let go of his daughter, who was a bit annoyed.

“He shouldn't have interrupted my husband and I’s kiss then!” She exasperated at her father, but to no avail.

“Lillian..” He sternly said, before his daughter finally agreed.

“Fine…” She quietly said, promoting Lagravis to smile warmly and give her pecks all over.

“Lagravis! Dear! Warn me before you do that!” She squealed in shock, causing the king to pull back a bit. He looked at her with an apologetic frown as her magic caused a nearby pillar to collapse. She looked at him before adding. “You know my abilities act on emotions, so please do not startle me unless you are prepared for what my powers will do.

*cackles evilly* I am one of those people who enjoy many ships, regardless of who or how many are in it. Despite being aroace, shipping is one of my favorite things to do in fandom, though it's not the only thing I do. Off the top of my head:

Crooler X Spinlyn: I love some toxic sapphics but putting these two together somehow evens out to a perfectly healthy relationship that's detrimental to anyone else. I think this may actually be my OTP. I even call their pairing "MindWeb".

Laval X Li'ella X Cragger: Look. We get the best of every world here. Li'ella gets two boyfriends. Laval and Cragger get to work on their mutual tension. Crominus gets to seethe about his son dating not one, but TWO Lions. Everyone except Crominus wins, especially love.

Lagravis X Tormak: ...Honestly this one is just too fucking funny to me so I ship it just to laugh.

Razar X Eris X Rogon: Again, a very good trio. Rogon can even carry the other two around, one in each arm.

Li'ella X Eris: Wholesome sapphics to make up for the toxic ones above. A friend of mine on Discord ships them and I've been pondering writing for them as a treat for him. Sometimes you need to give your token cishet friend a little treat every once in a while.

Scorm X ...literally anyone at this point: Scorm is just a guy with so many fucking issues and it's very funny to me to see how he handles those issues when you add a romantic or, more commonly for Scorm, sexual angle to it. Scorm is Chima's bicycle and I know this in my heart. And I'm the Mayor of Scorpions so I'm obviously correct. (Characters that fall into this category, in order of most to probably least healthy: Gorzan, Worriz and Scolder, Laval, Sir Fangar [let Scorm fuck that old man])

Lavertus X Crunket: Crunket needs to divorce Crominus. Someone please get her away from that Croc man. And I can bet you that Lavertus would be able to pull it off.

...I'm very much a Crominus hater, as you can tell. He's just such an easy punching bag.

Rinona X Mottrot: Look. Okay. This is entirely and only based on my Tales of Chima soulmate AU because I forced the Mammoths and Scorpions to go live with the Rhinos, but these two could get along! They both would appreciate having someone to talk to who really gets them!

Gorzan X Worriz: Gorzan could teach Worriz how to chill out, and Worriz could handle beating the shit out of anyone who gave Gorzan trouble. Also, can you imagine how good scritchies behind the ear from a Gorilla feels? Maybe it's just the werewolf otherkin in me, but I'd love to get ear scritchies from Gorzan.

I probably have, like, seven dozen more because I love examining how character relationships change when you introduce romantic and/or sexual elements to their dynamics. And because it's fiction, no actual people are getting hurt when I examine the more toxic ones! It's great!

Thanks for sending this question, anon! I love chattering about Chima, even though I don't get to do it very often.
