Noa and Mae: A Taboo Affair?

Hi, there! Kida checking in again with yet another controversy - you've been warned.

I see a lot of people on Tumblr and Reddit pointing out that a Noa/Mae (#NoMae?) pairing would be at best controversial, at worst beastiality.

I mean, he IS a CGI ape, right?

Not so fast.

I'd like to break down a few points, if I Mae (pun intended!), and address this argument. I'll be using a few of the comments I've seen on the web already to do so, on the part of the dissenters to the pairing.

1st Argument: "Planet of the Apes wouldn't show a kiss between a human and an ape. Ew."

Reply: Oh, they already have, my friend. Not in the full-blown sense, but they definitely did film Zira and Taylor kissing lips to muzzle in 1968. You can view that lovely bit here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEp7yunwVF8

I apologize in advance for impinging on your delicate simian sensibilities. #sorrynotsorry

2nd Argument: "Why would they even depict a human/ape couple? Humans and apes can't even reproduce in the franchise."

Reply: They can't? News to me. There was a Hum-Ape written into the early scripts and screen tests for Beneath the Planet of the Apes in 1970. Seems the Planet of the Apes franchise truly thought it was worth exploring back then. You can read all about that little guy right here: https://planetoftheapes.fandom.com/wiki/Hum-Ape

Aww, just look at that adorable lack of face-fur!

3rd Argument: "The audience of today isn't ready for that kind of thing."

Reply: And the audience in the 1960's/early 1970's was? I didn't know we became even more conservative 50+ years later. I'll be sure to adjust my high neckline and clutch my pearls in absolute horror at the thought of all of those deviant libertines living before me. Excuse me, I must go confront my parents about this.

BUT, before I do, I do want to point out we seemed to accept an on-screen kiss between Goliath (a gargoyle) and Elisa (a human) during a certain Disney children's cartoon show in the 1990's - anyone remember that?

Disgusting. I bet his breath smelled like rancid pigeon.

Additionally, we have more recent films such as Avatar, The Shape of Water - which won 4 Academy Awards, including best picture (not bad for a human and a fish-man pairing), and Beauty and the Beast.

And hey, if a living monster is not your thing, you could always opt for Warm Bodies. Think female human and male zombie. Necrophilia, anyone?

4th Argument: "Okay, fine, I see your point on the Taylor/Zira thing. But that only worked out because it was a human in a monkey suit, and we all sort of knew that. It didn't make it so strange. As for the other films you listed, well, those creatures don't actually exist so it's out of the realm of true possibility anyway. Noa is depicted as a real chimp, and him getting with Mae just makes it hit too close to home for comfort."

Reply: #Ishetho? Let's take a good look at what a "real chimp" looks like:

He's so damn Chimpy.

Okay, now let's look at our leading man--er, ape:

Looks like Chimpy had a love-child with Owen Teague. #shudder

As you can see, the two are pretty different. Chimpy has a true muzzle and a mouth that curves around it. Noa has a flatter, human face with an actual nose bridge and wider-spaced eyes.

And the EYES. My god. If you don't see the humanity in those baby-blues you might want to get checked for psychopathy. Besides that, Chimpy lacks eye-whites and has rounder eyes than Noa. Additionally, that pronounced brow ridge on Chimpy has thunder clouds gathering beneath it. Don't get me started on the ear comparison between the two, I'm sure it goes without saying!

Anyway, I think it can be safely stated that no chimp alive on this earth looks like Noa. He's too physically humanized to resemble an actual chimpanzee of the typical zoo variety. Thus, I would place him safely in the category of fish-man, the tall, blue cat creatures from Avatar, and those barbaric blue aliens that keep cropping up on certain ice planets in books #ifyouknowwhatImean.

---------------------

All that said, everyone can ship what they want. If you want Noa playing house with Caesar, never mind that trifling little timeline issue, you go with your fine self and write that fanfiction. Create an account on DeviantArt.com and fill it with their anthropomorphic babies who eventually grow up to be the first ape astronauts. Someone out there is going to love it and eat it up, I promise you.

For the points above, this is about Noa and Mae. They've got something, something tangible. Whether or not it becomes canon is yet to be seen.

For now, it lives on in our minds. With our inner eye, we can see it just fine.

happy spooky season aka "reading Allan Edgar Poe - season"

[terminals3v3n]

tom was literally insane for this

[glorious-destruction]

it’s not spooky season. It’s “I can finally read Edgar Allan Poe without looking like a sociopath” season

[shads-shipposts]

Allan: "Not a braincell there, huh?" Thatcher: "Not even half o' one between 'em." Tom and Skipper: *excitedly chatting about the glowy moth*

Another day, another attempt at sketching gone wrong. But there's improvement so I'll cherish it lol. Plus, its the first time I've drawn my sailor ocs with their original templates! Thatcher Morgan has his roots in Allan, while Tucker "Skipper" Anderson has his roots in Tom. Grouchy DadTM and Himbo. Skipper most certainly ain't captain, it's just a nickname and thank goodness because Skippy i love you but you are NOT captain material. Thatcher on the other hand is first mate and does eventually become captain. But he has a much more wholesome relationship with his captain, Finnick.

They're not complete copies, as they now have almost 10 years separating them. Thatcher's not British, but Aussie and so is Skipper. Well, Aussie coded. They're on another planet, my original planet Kelusia. But that's for another channel. Unless 👀

Maybe one day I'll publish my Dusk and Mariners series and y'all get meet the crew of the Caroline in full, but for now they shall remain simple guest stars in my sketches. If y'all like the Karaboudjan crew, you'll love the Caroline boys (and gals).

More art below! Some details Thatcher and Skipper faces and some older sketches of the whole Caroline crew. Plus the initial sketch of the above art!

So I finished Alan Wake 2...

I think I bought/beat Alan Wake 2 at the PERFECT moment. Okay, turns out I only had until fall to FINALLY hold it in my f*cking hands, but hey, as mentioned before, I'll GLADLY buy it twice especially since I keep hearing it hasn't been selling well, like WTF people ??? Like GO BUY IT RIGHT NOW ?

I only waited like two weeks since beating the game to have the DLC almost shadow dropped into my lap. I haven't started playing yet, but I can't wait to jump back into Remedy's GORGEOUS and crazy world. It's not a loop, it's a spiral 🩵

SPOILERS BELLOW

[bracketsoffear]

Annabel Lee (Edgar Allan Poe) "Like a lot of the Edgar Allan Poems, this is heavily concerned with the death of young love, and a desire to be reunited in the tomb. Link"

May Bird (Jodi Lynn Anderson) "Shy, precocious May Bird wants nothing more than to be accepted. One day she falls through a lake into the Ever After, a world of ghosts. As she journeys through fantastic lands, she gathers an unusual group of new friends who join together to overcome the chillingly evil Bo Cleevil and find their way home."

[kidasthings]

I really hope we get a sequel Kingdom. Do you wonder what the next title of the Planet of the Apes would be?

Well, with the movie surpassing 300M in the box office, I’d say you are going to get your sequel and then some.

As for the name, it will likely follow a closely-related set of words like Rise, Dawn, and War.

If I had to take a random guess, it would follow the civilization theme:

1. Empire of the Planet of the Apes

2. Republic of the Planet of the Apes

3. Realm of the Planet of the Apes

You might also get a:

1. Renaissance of the Planet of the Apes

2. Era of the Planet of the Apes

After all, the Eagle Clan discovered a lot more knowledge from their foray to the coastal kingdom. They discovered the truth about the virus and humanity’s fall from grace, plus their own origin.

I hope this post ages well.

For funsies, let’s take a poll. People of the fandom, which name of those five is the most likely to be the name of the next movie?
