Remember my Planet of The Disney Apes fanfic/series from a few years ago? Well, here’s some thoughts that have been roaming around rent-free in my head lately!

Colonel McCullough:

- Still mad that Disney now owns the franchise but shows it by making fun of Disney and Mickey Mouse (referring to him as ‘exaggerated rat’).

- Still resentful at living with and around the very apes he fought, killed or enslaved, but loves to troll and pester them.

- Mostly just an a$$hole who won’t shut up about what happened in War or that Kingdom better not ‘f*ck anything up’.

- Hates Caesar but also wants to impress him…Yeah, he’s obsessed.

- We don’t talk about the ‘party incident’…(go check out @klushund’s Disney Apes fic series on AO3!)

Caesar:

- Tired, numb, doesn’t give a sh!t anymore, just goes with the flow

- But first, coffee.

- Nothing surprises him anymore…Except maybe the lengths McCullough will go to annoy the apes or the times when Preacher accidentally roasts the Colonel.

- Legit doesn’t care that Kingdom exists “I’m dead anyway”.

- Reluctant peacekeeper but still a force to be reckon with!

Preacher:

- Still follows the Colonel but has moved on since War.

- Is more than happy to just have cookies with apes for eternity if it means no more fighting or chaos.

- Stuck in the middle when Caesar and McCullough fight. Old habits die hard.

- He both fears and respects McCullough. It’s very complicated!

- Mostly clueless. He’s more naive than evil.

- Somehow always knows where to find the tv remote ‘check the fridge/microwave/laundry room!’

- All he wants to do is build a pillow fort. He never got to do that before. Just once would be enough!

Red:

- Eye roll.

- Petty. Blunt. Smarta$$ jerk.

- Ignores the Colonel’s rants but will watch him and Caesar argue.

- Heavy metal, still has his gun somewhere in his room. Spray paints various ‘I hate Caesar’ and ‘Donkey was here’ on the walls.

- The ape you call when you watch a scary movie to get ideas for how to get back at your enemies or (according to Winter) to kill a spider or creepy crawly in your room.

- Loves stirring the pot by making the Colonel and Caesar sound like fools to the other.

Bonus! Bad Ape:

- ‘Best Day Ever’ song from SpongeBob.

- Has created a whole lore with his plush alligator and the various toys in his toy chest.

- Rocket bakes the cookies for Bad Ape’s tea parties. They’re buddies now!

- ‘Oh no!’ Is still his go-to phrase whenever anything goes wrong.

- Sometimes takes things a little too literally.

- Bad Ape somehow has the power to befriend or be on good terms with everyone around him-even McCullough tolerates him to some degree!

One more thing: I don’t know why it’s Caesar, Red, Preacher and McCullough my brain goes to now when thinking about this AU but I think it has something to do with that scene of them together in the Colonel’s office(?).

Like imagine The Odd Couple but with Caesar and McCullough, mixed with Drake and Josh but with Preacher and Red lol.
