Tried starting the KH Seph and Rikku thing, but it feels weird. Not sure what I'll do with it or if I'll need to overhaul what I have so far. Maybe it just feels weird because I was watching that old Hans Christian Andersen musical while I was writing. XD; Or maybe because after all the X-2 I've watched, it really does feel weird writing Rikku as a pixie. That's one change in KH I'm not sure I like.

I'll probably feel the same way when I do the KH Seph in the Pride Lands world fic, too. But it will be so deliciously fun to have his willpower be stronger than the shapeshifting magic! In the game, I think Donald said it was Sora's clothes that changed their bodies in that world, but I'm thinking I'll carry it further and say it was a curse on the world put there by a previous shaman, who hated people (and by extension, anthro animals like Donald and Goofy). Because if Sora-tachi was changed, I have the feeling that the same thing would happen to anyone else for the duration of their stay in that place, whether or not the clothes were responsible. Rafiki will comment on Seph's willpower shattering the curse. LOL.

It's making me terribly nostalgic, too. Ten to one I'll end up wanting to see both Lion King films again as I'm writing.

One thing that amuses me is that when I was little, I didn't like Rafiki. He annoyed me, and I didn't like that he was beating up the hyenas. XD; Even though they really did have to be defeated. **shakes head and sighs.** Also, I liked Timon.

Now, I like Rafiki and I don't like Timon as much as I used to. XD; I mean, the guy's always trying to take the full credit for things even if Pumbaa did most of the work and even came up with the ideas. To be fair, he is a loyal friend when it comes right down to it. But most of his traits kinda bug me. Maybe I'm influenced too much by the TV show (where he's a stereotypical conman sometimes), but the basis for that still did come from the movie (and perhaps from some of the movie tie-in books. **still owns a great deal of those**). Though the TV show probably exaggerated. XD; I don't like it much anymore, either. It was so ... typically cartoony. And when the Lion King was so original, the TV show didn't deserve that treatment.

Back to the fic, I don't want it to just be random stuff of Seph going around being weirded out that he can understand the animals, and them talking to him, so I need some kind of a plot. XD; I seem to remember that Scar's ghost was causing trouble in KH2. So maybe something like that is happening again? Unless the ghost was destroyed for good in the game. And Seph gets unwillingly involved, even though he'd rather turn around and teleport right back to where he came from.
