I'll be the one that's going to make it, like it or not.

Monster Lovers, Assemble!

Reader gets kidnapped by an alien (Rhesus 2) that mistakes her for one of the most intelligent humans on the planet and wants to take her brain.

Reader gets rescued by the Space Monkeys, who still hold some small grudge against humans but learn that not everyone is the same. Reader, on the other hand, learns that she can't get home so soon and decides to follow the team and try to find her spot in the crew.

Brain is currently whispering "cccrrrrriiiiinnnnggggeeeee.....!" but I'm gonna post The Cringe™ nonetheless. 💀

Like some fic had been marinating for over 20 years in my head before seeing the light, so did these "monkehs" here.

The group shot includes:

A capuchin monkeh (albino) named Maxine

An orangutan named Jordan

A Japanese macaque named Mintaka

A bonobo named Brenda

A lion-tailed macaque named Deneb

A "wtf-is-that-floating-monkey-even" named Xenia

Two colobi named Orion and Kaine

And yeh, I know there may be some differences between what each RL monkey & ape look like and what's in the pic. But here's the catch: only one of them is from Earth. 😏

Original idea was to recall those sort of movie posters with the BEEG™ looming baddie in the background and the rest of the cast in the foreground. Alas, I realised way too late that I did a whoopsie when arranging the several ref poses. 🙈

Anyways!

Everything's been drawn and coloured by the "I never really did this kind of anthro/furry/whatev they are, but I'll give it a shot" known as @d-structive 💖

Poses are from the ever-handy @adorkastock's sizeable stock. 👀

Background slapped together by yours truly with some PS filter named "cloud" + some PS brushes from the likewise ever-handy stock of Obsidian Dawn. 👀

Starting another collection of Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys pictures, this time of handsome monkey men that make my heart go ook-i ook-i

Rhesus 2 from Captain Simian & the Space Monkeys is a freak and I love him to pieces... Rhesus Pieces. His brain puns are the bessssst.

I'd get Malcolm McDowell to call me a "flesh-o-pod" on Cameo because of him, but he's so expensive 😭

Body Horror warning (robot body & exposed brain stuff - it's a children's cartoon, but still) under the cut:

Selfshippers who ship with weird/unappealing characters. I love you. Like hell yeah you go get with Mr Crocker. Go get with lord faarquad

[mehiwilldoitlater]

Me: Please brain, I don't need more ideas! Just keat Stick with the new ask that I GOT, then maybe we can.

Brain: What about a crossover of your favorite shows from when you were small? A big crossover where the reader is now in possession of some very important information and now has to travel in space with the space monkeys, biker mice, street sharks, and the extreme dinosaurs? 

Me: GODDAMIT-

Rhesus 2's Brain Puns

I'm already doing this for the wiki, but I'm gonna post some of my personal favorite highlights of Rhesus 2's brain puns from Captain Simian & the Space Monkeys. I won't/can't post all (partially because I waffle on how much of his brain-based body horror I think people could handle, and partially because some work best as gifs - which I don't know how to make), but I'll do my best.

Malcolm McDowell was having such a blast voicing Rhesus, I can just tell. So much wicked glee, it's absolutely infectious!

But again, brain-based body horror included! Exposed brains, disembodied brains, spinal cords/brain stems, the works! It's a children's cartoons, but if that stuff still makes you upset, please don't trouble yourself!

Starting with Episodes 1 and 2: "Yes, We Have No Bananas" and "Yes, We Still Have No Bananas":

Our first glimpse into Rhesus 2's brain puns, and it's a fantastic one. We had just seen him replace his own brain the scene prior, and here he is taking it out already just to go buck-wild and have evil fun!

Rhesus 2 is voiced by Malcolm McDowell, who played Alex DeLarge in A Clockwork Orange (the show makes a number of references to it with Rhesus 2's character, all amusing). His delivery & laughter with this line in particular is stuck in my own brain, it's so joyous and honestly kind of cute!

"And so is my spare~". Tickles me.

Alas, I can't make a gif, but maybe I'll learn how or get someone else to for the sake of this show. It deserves it, dammit!

It's so simple, so low-hanging, it circles right back around to amazing. I don't want to throw around the word "camp" too flippantly, but I feel like this is at least somewhere in the ballpark.

He didn't need to swap his brain out, he had already decided against retreating! He's just doing it for the sake of the bit! And I love that commitment! And the delivery of that line - so sinister, so saucy, it gives me tingles~

[missanthropicprinciple]

Yeah honestly 720p would be an improvement at this point.

I would of course kill for a Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys poster, but I would literally have to commission one because they don’t exist.

[garr9988]

I need to keep a collection of all the times Spydor gets manhandled...

He's so small...

[garr9988]

Rhesus 2 isn't even talking here. This is just the sassy-ass pose he struck when he exploded out of his ship to surprise the Space Monkeys.

I love this man(whore).

At the beginning, Chuck had a kind of difficult relationship with Reader. 

Despite being aware of the fact that she's just like him and his crew, an habitant of planet Earth taken without their consent, he can't completely shake off his dislike of humans. He tries to be a good sport, but it's hard when your face reminds him of when he was taken away from his land and forced to participate in some rocket experiments. It will take some time and a lot of trust, but soon Reader will become not only part of the team but a dear friend to him and all of them.

He'll become protective; she's not strong like them, but he'll always help her find her place, and he'll be supportive of her small achievements.

O 👏 M 👏 G

I’ve decided to finally throw my hat into this meme. There have been some awesome ones made lately. I’ve been thinking about making this for a while, so I did. I hope some of you get the joke. I did use a forgotten 90′s American cartoon.

Fic Self-Recs

Tagged once again by @valkeakuulas 👀

Fic authors self rec! List your favorite five fics that you've written, then tag at least five other writers! Spread the self-love 💞

I wrote plenty of fics in my (online) time, so I'm sticking to the most recent ones (or trying to anyway).

Unwanted Visitors (rated M for a mentioned, attempted sexual assault) Fandom: Stardew Valley Characters: Mostly Melly (own farmer) and Elliot (canon) Summary: Melly's ex decides to pay a visit during Pelican Town's annual fair, much to the farmer's chagrin. The fic is one and a half years old now, and apparently also one of the most appreciated in my AO3, with the current count of " Kudos: 83 Bookmarks: 8 Hits: 987" To me it still sparks joy because I feel like I found a way to make a(n alleged) softie like Elliot look absolutely intimidating (for a good cause). ===

Let's Brawl Fair And Square (just a general rating) Fandom: Iron Leaguer Characters: Magnum Ace, Gold Foot, and Killer Brothers (all canon) Summary: I just wanted to give a "Babyface" one good reason to finally deck both Killer Brothers~ The fic was originally posted somewhere in my Tumblr eons ago, some time after I was done with the OVA of that anime. Later I tweaked the whole text, mostly to fix whatever butchering I may have done +10 years prior, and then re-uploaded it onto my AO3. ===

The Good, The Bad, And The Monkey (rated T mostly due to some mild-but-maybe-not-so-mild language being used) Fandom: Captain Simian & the Space Monkeys Characters: The entirety of Simian's crew (canon) + The entirety of my own crew of blorbos Summary: "Charlie" gets tricked real nice into retrieving some whimsical shard. I'm particularly proud of this fic for one reason: sitting at 13 chapters and with nearly 24k words counted, it's the longest I've ever written thus far. And I know AO3 says that it's 14 chapters, but the last one is actually dedicated to a list of fun facts. ===

Tough Luck (another general rating) Fandom: Warframe Characters: Mostly Amir Beckett (canon) and a trio of Drifters (personal blorbos) Summary: After a failed mission, a small bunch of Drifters take matters (and a single, jittery Hex) into their hands. This is a fic where I wanted Amir to have his widdle moment of badassery. The moment of "huggus & kissus" has been a nice extra. And then... I had absolutely no idea how to end it, until I said "feck it" and just slapped that ending out of the blue. 😂 ===

Intruder Alert (rated T for mild language; also includes a small CW for implied body dysphoria) Fandom: Warframe, yet again Characters: Mostly the entire team of Hex (canon) + Jun (blorbo) Summary: Seeking one last chance of a safe refuge, Jun manages to sneak into what she believed to be Höllvania very abandoned central mall. Surprise, bish~! Idk, I liked the idea of a "Warframen't 1999" timeline, where Drifters would be yet to be seen around. Or maybe just a timeline between a time travel and another. Yeah, I haven't really decided on this. All I know is that there's no Drifter (nor their Warframes) involved in this very canon divergent story. This one also comes with some kind of sequel going by the title "Broken" (rated T mostly for different flavours of trauma + the use of "the R slur").

That's all, folks! As for tagging, all I can think of are @missanthropicprinciple and @mecha-girl

Just finished Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys after watching it every so often with a friend that found & introduced it to me earlier this year. It was a really fun experience that I’m sad to see end! I enjoyed the writing and the jokes, even the pop culture references I only understand through osmosis.

The voice work was my biggest takeaway, it was pretty fantastic, especially Malcolm McDowell as Rhesus 2 (he must have had so much fun, and I loved all the brain puns). One episode had 2 characters swap bodies, and the VAs’ impersonations of each other were so good! I’m also pleasantly surprised that there were some surprisingly heartfelt episodes, and continuity & character development over time.

It really is a shame only one person’s VHS recording of the series is publicly available. I’d love for the original HD episodes to get taken out of the Library of Congress and released, Ray Mona/Saban Moon style. Maybe I could make my own YouTube documentary about it, eh?

EDIT: THE SHOW GOT A REMASTER AND IS AVAILABLE FOR FREE ON TUBI AND AMAZON PRIME VIDEO/FREEVEE!

Now that I’ve got all the episodes under my belt, I’ve got lots of work to do on its wiki (if anyone is interested), and maybe even fanfiction!

Has anyone else watched this show? I really would recommend it, I loved its flavor of cheese.
