- In the first version of The Lion King 1 1/2 (The Lion King 3) Timon's father was going to be part of the characters that were revealed. However, they realized that he was a character without much participation and eliminated him, dividing his dialogue between Ma and Uncle Max.

- I decided to make him a brave character to explain a part of Timon's personality. We are shown a negative opinion from Uncle Max and a passive opinion from Ma. I turned his father into the positive opinion he needed to push him forward.

- The fabric of Kuba's cape is made with organic cotton fibers, a common material for the realization of fabrics in Africa in reality, and dyed with the blood of grana cochineals. His partner, Tesma's mother, had a matching red one (Kuba's is purple).

- This little fic is called "Once Upon a Timon" referring to a chapter of the Timon & Pumbaa series with the same name. In this chapter, we are introduced to Princess Tatiana.

- My version of Tesma is a combination of the roles of the original Tesma (when this was called "The King of the Jungle") with that of Tatiana (the meerkat mentioned above), although physically she is more similar to Kataka (who I will talk about ...

This is a very rough sketch I made of Tesma's design in my headcanon. The difference is in the color palette and the absence of stripes on her back (wow yes, very creative xd):

- In my fic Timon had two other love interests besides Tesma.

- During the aftermath of Scar's death, a group of meerkats arrive to the Pridelands while traveling in search of a new home. Timon rescues a girl named Kataka, with whom he has a crush. But Kataka chose to follow her colony rather than stay with him. This character (and story) belongs to the Hakuna Matata* magazine series.

- During Kiara and Kion's childhood, Timon met Lulu (a character from the Timon & Pumbaa comics*), a meerkat who lived with her family near the spring

- Canonically, Tesma was going to be Timon's partner in the first drafts of The Lion King. That's why I center this whole fic on her and leave her as Timon's main romantic interest.

- Tesma married Tay (there is a one-shot in Volume 1 titled "Commitment and Duty" that narrates the wedding ceremony of these two, but ).

- Tesma had five children in total: Sorhen, Rembo, Shuri, Mylo and Sika (who we'll find out about later, but that's another story).

-Timon never told anyone about what happened that last night in Hakuna Matata, and he only told Pumbaa the previous story of him and Tesma.

- Timon and Tesma never saw each other again.
