    Time for a rewatch, it’s kinda worse.

    Simba: I killed my dad, was exiled on penalty of death, and almost starved to death.

    Chucklefucks: Have you tried eating bugs and positive thinking?

    longer write up

    Simba thinks he killed his father. Then some killers chase him away from his home and everything he’s ever known. Then he nearly starves to death.

    These two fuckers charge up on a lark, just looking for kicks by scaring buzzards, only barely stopping to care when one notices he’s still breathing, and only then because they want to use him as their personal bodyguard.

    Then they tell his starving carnivore ass to eat some bugs, and finally the “have you just tried shutting the fuck up and ignoring your trauma?”

      Didn’t they lack* any clue about simba being a prince, perceiving himself as a patricidal murderer, or the manipulation? I feel like I remember simba guarding that info

        This is also how I recall it. They didn’t find out until after Nala came back in the picture when Simba was all growed up

          Yep, and they were like “holy shit, let’s go do something about it immediately!” Which is the opposite of not giving a fuck about it.
