The Madness Of King Scar

The Madness Of King Scar

My two favourite Disney/Marvel characters to write about are obviously, Loki & Scar. Today I would like to share a few parts of the scene The Madness of King Scar, which comes from my fan fiction story called: Scar‘s Reign.

Note that this isn‘t the whole scene, I‘ve picked some parts out. You can find the whole chapter here:
Ao3 c7 TMOKS Scar‘s Reign (FF.net & Wattpad link posted at the end of this post).

Scar's mind is chaos, unpredictable and the drama-'queen'(king) has a huge personality which I wanted to be fully shown in The Madness of King Scar.. This chapter is a mix of the one particular scene from the film with Scar, Zazu and the hyenas in his cave + the deleted scene and the equally titled scene from the musical. Added: My own imagination.

Italic: Character thoughts.
Bold: Character sings.
Small warning: Scar‘s words aren‘t all even (women) friendly..

"I'm the king! But why am I not satisfied?" Did I think that out loud?  Scar sunk too deep in his thoughts and had reached the point of not knowing whether he spoke aloud or in his mind. Terrific, he assumed he thought.. Scar sighed himself down at his rock.

"Sire, what's with the long face?" Zazu, the bird Scar kept behind bars dragged him out of his thoughts.

"Zazu? Why am I not... loved?" Scar decided to directly cut to the chase. The lionesses, why don't they like me? With my black manes, I must be irresistible! And I'm a king! What more could they possibly want?

"Well, why do you think you are not loved?" The hornbill spoke, to Scar's annoyance, with a wise tone.

According to Scar the bird sounded just like his father, or like Mufasa. He didn't wanted to be reminded of them over and over again. They had everything when they were kings while at Scar's reign everything got black, literally.. Scar figured he wasn't in the mood after all so he made a gesture towards Zazu, signing the bird to leave him and his mind alone.

--

"Hey, boss! Talking to the silly bird again?" Banzai called out to the lion, when he, Shenzi and Ed hopped in.

Ah, my friends! Well, 'friends'.. Since when is calling a friend 'boss' a common thing?  Every now and then, Scar wouldn't mind getting rid of them. He narrowed his eyes at the three of them. Shenzi, the female leader, who according to him, at least owned a little brain. In Scar's opinion Banzai was nothing more than a cubbish piece of junk and the last one, Ed, who besides laughing and nodding lacked any manner of communication, he thought was completely beyond redemption. He rolled his eyes as he surveyed everyone around him. "I'm surrounded by idiots again.."

When Shenzi immediately responded, there was no need for Scar to hesitate whether that was just a thought or not. "Well, thank you! What's wrong with ya lately? You are not the only one who's forced to skip breakfast!" she commented without hiding that she felt slightly offended. "Was he like this all day, Zazu?"

"Oh, he just needs a mate!" Even Zazu surprised himself by speaking this sentence. Well for this particular moment, it did gain him a little popularity among the hyenas. Leastwise that surely counted for the two male hyenas, who both had fallen into a giant laughter caused by Zazu's comment.

"Stop that! You fools!" Scar tried using his voice to overshadow their laughter, which he rated as highly annoying.

--

"Can't you not even have a little sympathy for me?" Scar acted like his pride got touched. "Don't mistake the colour of this small beating thing here inside of me with the colour of my manes," he gushed, almost in a singing tone. Dramatically, Scar held his paw on his chest, right at the place of his heart.

"Here we go again.." Shenzi mumbled, not amused.

"Tell me I'm adored! Please, tell me I'm adored!" Scar sung.

Banzai was close to bursting into laughter again. "A door?"

Scar took a deep breath. He stated to be burdened with the wrong public. Scar covered up his eyes in the hope of when he lowered his paw again, all these 'odd surrounding objects' were gone. His current view isn't quite the one that he visualized and thought he signed himself up for all those years ago.

--

"And I thought we had bad under Mufasa.." Banzai sighed.

Immediately Scar jumped in front of the hyena. "What did you say!?" he growled.

"I said..-"

Quickly Shenzi elbowed him again. Preventing Banzai from repeating names from Scar's forbidden name list seemed to be her full-time job nowadays.

"I said, uh... Que pasa?" Banzai eventually answered the black maned lion.

Scar heard enough and turned his back on the hyenas. "Good, and now get out.."

Staring to the cave's wall, Scar frowned. They're still behind me, aren't they?

"But we still have no food!" Banzai confirmed Scar's thought.

"I said get out!!" Scar roared. Luckily this time, the hyenas had taken the hint. With a grin, Scar peeked backwards and saw a last glimpse of them running out.

"Zazu, where were we before those three beggars came in?" The hyenas had spoiled his mood. Scar figured continuing his little game with Zazu could restore it a bit.

--

Ever since that Scar had made Nala the lead huntress, he hoped that it eventually led her to his cave. Within himself, Scar already had plotted how he would succeed in sailing the ship off to another course. "Yes, but there's.." Like a predator sneaks up on his prey, Scar started to walk around her. "Nala.. my, how've you grown!" Quickly he cleared his throat. "There's one little title upgrade required for you to receive from me before we can make this plan work. And there's more to it! I'm brightening up both yours and little Mheetu's future!" Seductively he let his tail slide below Nala's chin. 

Nala blinked. "And what's that title?" All though that with mentioning her younger brother, Scar had awakened Nala's curiosity, still she wasn't naive. She knew that somewhere in this story there was a catch. Because involving this particular lion, there always was a catch!

Suddenly Scar's energy-meter filled itself to the max. "I shall tell you, but first let me deliberate it with myself a bit," he spoke rather mysterious while he still moved himself around her.

--

"I'm not following you!" Riddle after riddle, why can't he just be straight to the point?-, Nala wondered.

"My cylinders are firing with fervor. And you, my sweet thing, fit.. the part.." With pressing his head against Nala‘s neck, Scar softly pushed the lioness a bit.

"Oh Sire, you are not supposed to say those kind of things out loud!" Zazu, the bird Scar already had forgotten about, snarled.

Did I? Scar used his paw to cover up his mouth.

--

From the inside, Scar's blood was still flowing through his veins like flashes of energy. And so it did outside. A heavy, dark thunderstorm was overshadowing the already sad looking Pride Lands. Scar's enthusiasm only grew bigger when a lightning stroke had caught his attention. Perfect!  He stormed outside and stopped when he stood on top of the Pride Rock. He looked up, let the rain soak him. His long black gleaming manes, flattened by the rain and sticking to his skin. Scar felt no fear for the lightning at all. From afar he saw a few of the lionesses, including Nala. Of course a lot of hyenas were present too. He saw fear in some of the eyes of his subjects. Scar grimed, he imagined how frightened the sight of him must look with the lightning and the terrifying sounds of the thunder right behind him. There he felt what he desired. Power!

All eyes were still pointing at him. This moment required a speech, as Scar himself stated. Somehow Scar never lacked in finding his words, not that they always helped him. Anyhow, if there was one thing Scar kept in his mind it was to always be prepared!

I‘m also writing a Lion King/ Loki & Thor crossover. (more info later) While watching The Lion King Thor & Loki were sent into the film due a portal (obviously as lions..). It needs some work but these two genius minds together.. Really fun to write!

If you‘re interested in reading the whole scene, I like to refer you the fanfiction websites I've shared it on. (All rights to The Lion King belongs to Disney, but be kind enough not to copy my work.)

(On here I also just posted the newest chapter called: Scar‘s Be Prepared '2.0' in which he‘s giving the hyenas an exclusive performance of so as he sees it, his improved version of Be Prepared.. I might just seen a disco edit of the scene in which Zazu is singing Scar a song..)

Thanks to Pridelands.eu for the screenshots. Really worth the look, these are taken second by second.
Scar is looking really odd in some shots..

Think purple, think positive!

Think purple, think positive!

Purple, the colour of spirituality, the colour of passion, inspiration and fantasy. Purple, a sensitive colour but also a magical one. Purple, the colour born from mixing red and blue. The colour of freedom. The colour of the crown-chakra and also a different shade belongs to the third-eye (I‘m not offended if you have lost me here..) The colour of equality. Shortly said: it's a lovely, feminine inspiring colour to use for writing! You can give a colour a lot of meanings, but if you love and appreciate it, it's one of your personal colours of your life. 

It‘s quite a simple picture, a purple pen resting on a small notebook that has nothing more written on than a date. I could have just left it there without sharing my thoughts about the colour purple. That surely had made the picture less interesting or better said: pointless. But I didn't because one thing I‘m succeeding in doing much more often lately is focusing on the positive things. You can find those positives everywhere, in every small thing, even such small as a pen. And in certain circumstances the negative thoughts have found their way to you earlier, but you‘re the controller, you‘re the boss! Control them, turn on the switch. Ask yourself these questions and let your mind do the rest: How does this thought/situation make me feel? And how can I change it into a positive thing? And let go! There‘s no negativity written in this notebook, I can tell you that.

Hiddles!

Also a very positive vibe it‘s the moment when Tom Hiddleston posts a photo on his social media. That‘s a vibe being send over in his whole fandom by one simple click. Just look at that smile! Doesn't that just magically make a smile appear on your face? Also the drawing (probably made by one of his youngest fans?) also got me overflowed with happy and 'aww'-thinking thoughts!

Let‘s continue on the cute factor, shall we?

The Betrayal trio at the Broadway Flea Market, doing a raffle for charity. Personally when I‘m choosing a charity to donate to, 9 out of 10 it will be a charity that helps animals. Animals, how big or small they are, they got feelings too (the dog below surely shows how he feels for Tom Hiddleston haha) and they deserve to live a happy life. 

If the term 'police dogs' is one that gives you mixed-up feelings, than just focus on how much a police dog actually means for the safety (and the safety of our inspiration Tom Hiddleston, yeah I've seen pictures of the large numbers of crowd during the stage door!) For my education of Animal Caretaker I've also did an internship at a place where dogs were trained to become police dogs. It was quite the experience! Because of my physical condition, I couldn't do much myself. I mainly took the calmer dogs such as the labradors out for walks. You grow to attach them quickly, I probably don't have to tell you that! I‘ve got a Labrador here and well, he‘s just the purest soul. Dogs, they are truly our best friends. Just look at this one:

This dog was given a great treat namely, Tom Hiddleston! Look at his face, how happy that made him feel. Now if that isn‘t a positive way to end this blogpost.. 😉

From a Holiday to England to Scarbucks and DisneyPlus

From a Holiday to England to Scarbucks and DisneyPlus

(Clearly my head still isn't used to the usual life beyond holidays yet, since this blog post is a bit chaotic..)

Time flies when you‘re in the middle of hour holiday days.. Isn't it? Or does time just fly all time? My vacation was over since last Monday, but time for writing this blog I hadn't had before today (Friday). Well I've also did some other writing, socializing (because of something in our home circumstances we've been having a lot of visitors lately and it‘s not very nice if I crawl behind my laptop then for writing a blog😉.) Perhaps I should overthink it too much because with that, I‘m losing.. time..😏

In the second week of my vacation I went a weekend off, traveling. I went to Winterswijk & Lichtenvoorde (city my mother grew up in). I went on my own and I said to myself: If I can do this, I can travel to England on my own too. And as if it truly was a first step towards England, I was given some signs during my trip: The key of my B&B had a London red phone-booth key-chain on, a poster in the hall had the word 'London' printed on big, a 'London bus' can, people in the train/streets saying England..

Jep that‘s Dumbo! 😊

And guess what? One of my dreams is coming true in 2020!  I‘m going to Glastonbury and I don‘t need to go on my own!

Flower Parade

Jurassic Park & the whole Jungle on the loose!

This was truly beautiful to see. Giant creations (chariots) made by flowers. The monkey was the winner (his head moved, his eyes blinked and the thing also made sound), but personally I also was very impressed by the leopard & the dinosaur. They all had something special. The dinosaur was moving a bit too and they played the lovely Jurassic Park music!

Green

The horse was a real photo model!

The nature pictures I took in Lichtenvoorde. It‘s like when you are in the green grasslands, you feel like you are far away from the market, but it‘s actually just a 10 minutes walk.. My mother grew up in a farm just before this grassland (the farm is gone) and she did recognize some of the things like the big tree when I sent some pictures.

The picture above is me sitting below the big tree. My skin is very light and actually it was a bit too hot outside for a walk.. So I was happy the tree could offer me some shelter for a while..

I don‘t really know what this was, it looked magnificent.

This was a weekend for myself. I needed to get myself away from my hometown and also I stayed low at social media (something I should do more often I noticed..). And when you‘re alone, you are not going to make it wild in the evening.. Even though they had a huge event happening in Winterswijk (the flower parade/fair/party/drinking/fun) I stayed in my B&B during the evenings reading, writing and watching series. Since a few years I‘m skipping alcohol more and more. I always had to be careful with it. Having a wine or a beer every now and then is okay but I definitely don‘t find it necessary weekend after weekend. After the walk I sat myself down at a terrace and took a smoothie instead (and looked over to the lion statue in front of me. Got to love lions😍). 

When I‘m going to England (and I will!) I know I can share a lot more about the trip! :).

Tom Hiddleston by Dead Poets Live.

This blogpost needs a picture of Tom in it! This one got published by Dead Poets Live earlier today. It was taken on their event in 2018. #TheBrokenWord.

I also found something I really really like in the mail today!

"I‘m going to get me a Scarbucks coffee!"
"Don‘t you mean Starbucks?"
"Don‘t tell that to the owner of Scarbucks. Oh and if your name is Mufasa, you better give up another name.."

I found the mug on Etsy. No actually I looked for it but that‘s because I seen it somewhere a few years ago. I couldn't find back the website, well perhaps that was Etsy too. I just needed to have this mug and the fact that shipping costs more than the mug, didn‘t really matter. It‘s almost too risky to use it, but I‘m going to because what else is better drinking your coffee from than in a Scar mug, if you are writing Lion King fan-fiction? "So prepare for the cup of the century.. Be prepared!"

Ending this blog with some DisneyPlus news:

Here in Holland DisneyPlus is out there to try for a free trial. The three Thor films are on, the newer Marvel films like Avengers Endgame and Captain Marvel aren't on yet. I assume they come on November 12th, when Disney is officially releasing the app and then they will add more to watch. Also it's not yet available on all TV 's (according to Disney: Disney+ is available on the following devices: Web, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, and fully integrated with the Apple TV app, Android Phone, Android Tablet, Android TV devices, LG TVs, Google Chromecast and Chromecast built-in devices, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.). For now I can use it on Web and the tablet.

When you can't chose a icon, just give Loki a profile..😇:

I hope my sister will pick Lady because her icon is so cute too!

There‘s no Loki icon yet, when he gets one I need three profiles..

I haven‘t watched anything on it yet, but I think I‘m going to give Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D a chance!
