It's the circle of liiiiife...
So I was re-reading the Chibitalia chapter because I could when suddenly The Lion King popped into my head.
And then I had this horrible, horrible image of Ludwig and Feliciano as lion cubs, standing on the edge of the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, with Roderich as Zazu the freaking hornbill and ghost!Rome looking down from the clouds and I started comparing the plotlines of these very unrelated series and I started seeing similarities like children who go missing and everyone thinks are deeeaaaad and father figures dying and their kids taking their place in the circle of liiiife and such and now I have an urge to draw this monstrosity.
Which is terrible, because drawing humans and humanoids as lion king characters is one of the many Internet Sins Against Humanity, and it's probably twice as horrible once you start bringing countries into the mix and asfkg
And yet I still want to draw it.
And that's terrible.
