Return?

Well hello there my little dusty blog. It has been a while since I've posted anything.

I shall be moving soon, I'm actually in the process of purchasing a home. As I'm sure you can imagine, this is a very stressful process and as a result my writing is all over the place. I think I've attempted more plot bunnies this past 3 months than I have in the 12 beforehand, and I haven't been able to settle on one.

So, I'm going to attempt a plot bunny that has been taunting me for a while, which in theory shouldn't require me to write in a linear fashion. Time loops. And I'm coming at these sideways, rather than grabbing the hero, I'm grabbing a villain.

Shere Khan.

Ok, so Jungle book isn't probably my first choice of loops, but I want to play around with the idea of the Disney Shere Khan. You may be familiar with Jungle Cubs, where the main chars of the Jungle Book are cubs, and Shere Khan is actually friends with Bagheera, Louie, Baloo, Hathi and Kaa.

Considering their relationships when they are adults, a dozen different conflicts between them, I'm curious how those silly little cubs became the characters in the movie, I want to know what the fall out was.

This may not be the best way of doing that, but my favorite part of the infinity loops is the alternate loops, where the character from one version of a story lives through another version. And if you look at the Jungle book, there are so many different versions to play with.

It is established that Baloo is the Anchor of Tale Spin. While I have no intention of submitting my version as cannon for the Infinity loops, I will be using TaleSpin!Baloo at a later date, establishing Disney!Khan as the Anchor for Disney's Jungle Book, and Book!Bagheera as anchor for Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book. Honestly? The Jungle Book seems to have more versions than the turtle-verse. Its rather like the Musketeers and Sherlock Holmes for that, and probably for much the same reason.
