I have never drawn Clover before somehow... For a first attempt it didn't go that bad
Was thinking about making a trans flag version of her, but in the end lesbian palette won >w<

Mort is literally THE little creature design.. except chaotic
He can be anything tbh, hence the unlabeled flag for the guy! The silly ^^
Even though King Julien’s character in the PoM show is more selfish and narcissistic, I love that Julien’s soft spot for children is consistent across the board.
When I first started AHKJ and watched S2E8:“Daddy Julien”, despite the weirdness of Mort pretending to be his son, I loved seeing Julien act so sweet and caring towards his “child”. He feed him, played with him, read parenting books, and comforted “Prince Falcon” when he got upset. It really drives home the point of what Julien truly desires: a family of his own, where he can give unconditional love and receive it in return (likely stemming from his neglectful upbringing with his own parents).
At first I thought “if only this side of King Julien existed early on in the PoM show “. But, after rewatching the show recently, there is definitely moments where his paternal side shines through!
Some notable examples are:
- Lemmy the Robot Lemur 🤖: Julien was so happy to “raise” Lemmy and teach him all his dance moves, it is very similar to how a father proudly teaches his son all his favorite activities to spend time together. He was so unexpectedly heartbroken when the penguins blew him up that they decided to fix Lemmy again to make him happy. He acted like such a proud dad too when he saw Lemmy on TV
before he was eaten by an alien. - Eggy the Duckling 🐣: In his first appearance, Julien was smitten with that tiny duck egg. He had a whole song dedicated to him! Singing about all the things him and his “JJ” would do together once he hatched. My heart broke for him when Mama Duck took Eggy back and said “Does she get to keep ALL the JJ’s”. But when he returned, Julien encouraged Eggy’s (albeit dangerous) dream of being a commando. And when Eggy couldn’t defeat him, he cheered him up by showing him the ways of “shaking booty”. Cause there was no way his “JJ” would be sad on his watch!
- Baby Skipper 🐧: Julien was gushing over baby Skipper, whom he named “Petey”, about how cute and tiny he was. And despite being an annoying babysitter, Julien still tried to take good care of him. He played peak-a-boo with him, “feed” him (a misconstrued way yes but it’s the thought that counts), and sang him a lullaby. But his greatest moment was when he jumped in front of “Petey” to protect him from a flying brick thrown his way. That lemur would do anything to protect an adorable baby!
- Baby Fossa 🐱: Though he spent most of the episode being afraid of the baby fossa and tried to ship him away, the minute the fossa called him “dada” he did a compete 180! He went as far as to keep him safe from Savio! You know, the giant boa snake whom Julien abandoned the Penguins and Marlene to in a previous episode, and even offered himself up to be eaten first instead of the baby fossa. He has such a soft spot for babies, it’s implied he stayed around the fossa afterwards despite being bitten by him constantly, and referred to himself as “papa” when saying goodbye on the fossa’s last day at the zoo.
It goes to show that even in his worst adaptations, Julien still has a good heart deep down❣️, at least when it comes to children.
Even though it’ll likely never happen, if Dreamworks ever decides to give him kids, I firmly believe King Julien would make a great papa! 👨👧👦

While the Madagascar timeline can be a mess at times, it's so funny to me when they actually try to make the timeline make sense but it just comes completely out of left field. Like in MALW, the two chimps Pickles and Dave had been supporting characters throughout the whole series, but there had been no sign of Mason and Phil. How did they solve this problem, then? In the final episode, Pickles and Dave were put in a rocket and launched into space for 20 years. And in AHKJ, they spend the final four episodes just getting rid of all the villains and other supporting characters that weren't present in the original film (i.e. Karl moves to Florida, Uncle King Julien runs off with Zora, Clover marries Sage and moves to the other side of the island, etc.). Don't even get me started on the comics, because there is a whole lot of stuff going on in there.
Scout would run a marathon as fast as some elite atheletes if he tried
His attention span just won't let him continue running for 3 hours (i don't think he will be hyperfixated or get in the zone)
He would easily dominate a 5k or 10k race but he's more of a competitive killier than a competitive runner
and the bosses want him to keep low profile
ordinary races bore him anyway
for other mercs i don't think all of them would be able to randomly finish a full marathon without some training
Heavy would not run a full marathon because of his knees, and Pyro wouldn't be able to breathe or run well in the suit
Medic can because he's a German
For some reason Germans are always so fit and hike and run crazy long distances with huge backpacks and even larger smiles in their faces idk why or how they do that
and Soldier because his insanity propels him, but he passes out at the finishing line (old, heavy, ran too fast)
Demo and Engie would run like a normal person in a normal speed, leisurely, after some training
Miss Pauling would be also able to run a marathon after a few months but she refuses to spend her free day running outside
Austrailians are banned from participating in most marathons but Saxton Hale will barge in and finish the 42.195 km like a breeze and faster than anyone else and just walk way thinking this was too easy to be considered as a serious competition
The Austrailian marathon is 421.95 km and the participants run day and night chatting and sining. The race usually takes like 15 ~ 16 hours and even little kids run the whole thing. Austrailians still consider it as a mild exercise and they don't even make it a competition cause physical competitions are pretty meaningless to them.

This is an EXTREMELY blessed post! And accurate! When I first moved out I was so excited for my new place I slept on the floor and had my tv there and that was it. Loved it. You grow and you build and you gain and you lose. I lost that place and everything in it. Now I have a new place with new things and it’s very much home.
In the future, there is a small, quiet room that is just yours, where you are safe and you are free. In that room your shoulders will finally start to come down from around your ears. Nobody can come into that room unless you let them. In that clean quiet place, you will work and you will study. You will love and you will heal.

When I left the 2nd of my abusive partners, I literally rented a bunk bed from Rent-A-Center, I was that broke. I had no dishes, my clothes were in plastic bins on the floor of my closet…
… and I was free.

We regret to announce — this is The End. We are going now. We bid you all a very fond farewell. Goodbye.

Hans!!!! My babygirl my one and only
I really wanted to draw him, he's mainly the guy who got my penguin hyperfixation back after 5 years and just my favorite tpom character in general
I have a puffin sona i think it speaks for itself >w<
Mlm flag for the fruit he is
this might be a bold statement but I think one of the best character designs to exist in television is salem saberhagen, a warlock punished for trying to take over the world & forced to live as a cat for a 100 years, who spends his penance being a bitchy little drama queen who causes constant trouble and cries a lot
an icon like no other
The original poor little meow meow
