[domitiaa]

Do you know who died a week ago? My first wife. My only real wife, Vipsania. The wife you made me divorce thirty years ago so that I could marry Augustus' horrible daughter. So that I could stand in the line of succession that was the moment when my life took the wrong turning, AT YOUR COMMAND!

I was about to go to sleep when a thought suddenly attacked me.

SOo In the PotA book it's described that once the apes placed the humans in pairs, the males began a sort of dance ritual (like some birds do) around the females who in the end had to show approval or reject them.

So I'm thinking, our Apes with Reader whos already recognized by ape society as an equal. They believe that that's a natural human behaviour to woo your mate. So one day, in private the try to woo you dancing.

Zira: Probs the one who does the best (has seen maaany of these) and dedicates to you a whole interpretative dance routine she's been secretly practicing for hours on end. Blushing 100% & probably hides her blush from you when you hug her half from embarrasment, half proud of you liking her show. If she sees you smiling at her , she melts in her movements.

Cornelius: 10000% embarrased, suddenly he doesn't know how feet work. Clumsy in his movements but pours his heart in the moment. Maintaining eye contact even if his face is bright purple from blushing and his eyes are begging to blink. Will twirl around you and shake his arms like the carnotaurus in Prehistoric planet did. Pls hug and kiss him afterwards, he needs to hear that you liked it and you though he was made for panicking at the disco. Probably will hide in your neck for the rest of the evening or until you reasure him how amazing and cool he did.

Zaius: This man is too proud to do such a thing. He? Behaving like a man???! Unthinkable!! He would NOT lower himself to- Wait, wait did you say an human dared to dance around you asking to mate?! HOW DARE THEY!! DON’T THEY KNOW THAT YOU AND HIM- Nevermind, your mindtricks don’t work on him!! Though the following days he keep coming to see you... He acted... weird. Strange. Did his arms move more than normal?? You could swear he tried to move them like one would to dance el "Aserejé"... Has he always forego his cane in order to walk around you? Wait- Is he...Is he dancing?! Shaking his lucious hair?! Oh my god that man wants you so bad it's funny- Tho pls accept him, look at his pretty hair!!!!

Also, probably Caesar (who's seen too much Tv with the Rodmans) :

I’ve seen a few people comparing the 1968 version of Planet of the Apes to the new series and comparing the methods by which humans fell. The reason why the OG PotA movie was all about atomic bombs being the Big Bad, was because during the mid to late 1900’s, nuclear warfare was something that a lot of people feared, considering the bomb has only recently been invented, and the damage it created during WWII. The original Planet of the Apes was released in 1968, still during the time period where people greatly feared the possibility of Nuclear War.

However, nuclear and atomic bombs are built differently today compared to 100 years ago, and therefore the kind of nuclear apocalypse that the OG PotA movies portrayed isn’t as realistic as it could have been.

However, you know what is realistic in our current time? Viruses. Go back and watch the start of Dawn, and compare it to COVID. Keeping in mind the movie was released 6 years before COVID hit, yet it perfectly predicts the way COVID spread, the riots, etc.

The way Rise/Dawn was written is much more plausible in our time, than the atomic warefare written into 1968’s Planet of the Apes

FATHER & SON: James Earl Jones with his Father Robert Earl Jones on Stage in the 1962 Production "Moon on a Rainbow Shawl."

Robert Earl Jones (February 3, 1910 – September 7, 2006), sometimes credited as Earl Jones, was an American actor and professional boxer. One of the first prominent Black film stars, Jones was a living link with the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and 1930s, having worked with Langston Hughes early in his career.

Jones was best known for his leading roles in films such as Lying Lips (1939) and later in his career for supporting roles in films such as The Sting (1973), Trading Places (1983), The Cotton Club (1984), and Witness (1985).

Jones was born in northwestern Mississippi; the specific location is unclear as some sources indicate Senatobia, while others suggest nearby Coldwater. He left school at an early age to work as a sharecropper to help his family. He later became a prizefighter. Under the name "Battling Bill Stovall", he was a sparring partner of Joe Louis.

Jones became interested in theater after he moved to Chicago, as one of the thousands leaving the South in the Great Migration. He moved on to New York by the 1930s. He worked with young people in the Works Progress Administration, the largest New Deal agency, through which he met Langston Hughes, a young poet and playwright. Hughes cast him in his 1938 play, Don't You Want to Be Free?.

Jones also entered the film business, appearing in more than twenty films. His film career started with the leading role of a detective in the 1939 race film Lying Lips, written and directed by Oscar Micheaux, and Jones made his next screen appearance in Micheaux's The Notorious Elinor Lee (1940). Jones acted mostly in crime movies and dramas after that, with such highlights as Wild River (1960) and One Potato, Two Potato (1964). In the Oscar-winning 1973 film The Sting, he played Luther Coleman, an aging grifter whose con is requited with murder leading to the eponymous "sting". In the later 20th century, Jones appeared in several other noted films: Trading Places (1983) and Witness (1985).

Toward the end of his life, Jones was noted for his stage portrayal of Creon in The Gospel at Colonus (1988), a black musical version of the Oedipus legend. He also appeared in episodes of the long-running TV shows Lou Grant and Kojak. One of his last stage roles was in a 1991 Broadway production of Mule Bone by Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston, another important writer of the Harlem Renaissance. His last film was Rain Without Thunder (1993).

Although blacklisted by the House Un-American Activities Committee in the 1950s due to involvement with leftist groups, Jones was ultimately honored with a lifetime achievement award by the U.S. National Black Theatre Festival.

Jones was married three times. As a young man, he married Ruth Connolly (died 1986) in 1929; they had a son, James Earl Jones. Jones and Connolly separated before James was born in 1931, and the couple divorced in 1933. Jones did not come to know his son until the mid-1950s. He adopted a second son, Matthew Earl Jones. Jones died on September 7, 2006, in Englewood, New Jersey, from natural causes at age 96.
