This is the first time I have ever been gifted art, and I couldn't have asked for anything better. Once again, thank you! 🥹💕

I wanna thank her for not only the art, but for reading all of my Planet of the Apes ideas and theories on discord for the past year. For example, I've talked about Noa as Icarus for both fic ideas and character analysis, and she took it as inspiration for this artwork ☀️🪽

Her skin glowed more golden by the second. Like the sun. Mae was the Sun. And Noa was torn between pulling his hand back like it had been kissed by flames; or be like the eagle and soar closer to her brilliance."

I love this Nomae art @ineffapable.bsky.social drew for me! "Noa knew it was a dream. Not because he was wearing the wings befitting the Master of Birds but because Mae stood before him. Her face gentler than he could ever imagine. And when his callused palm touched her cheek, it was warm.

Hey, not our fault the ape and human have chemistry with each other. We're just going with what feels right 😆

OH I recognize them from Twitter because they literally commented on one of my ape posts not even 24 hours ago. That's how much I blather on about it lmao 😭

🦋 Bree is reading 🦋 @bookishdaze.bsky.social · 21/07/2025

Yesssss! POTA is not a super active fandom, so I'm always so happy to see nomae shippers in the wild! I talk to plenty on discord, but on social media it feels like I'm the only one talking about it 😅

🦋 Bree is reading 🦋 @bookishdaze.bsky.social · 21/07/2025

I've read nomae fanfic with that trope already. Now I just need it in the actual movies 😆

110

🦋 Bree is reading 🦋 @bookishdaze.bsky.social · 21/07/2025

That trope is straight out of a werewolf romance novel or something. Omg like Twilight where Jacob has to carry Bella to mask her human scent with his wolf one 😭 What next? She's cold and he's got a built-in coat, so he hugs her to keep her warm? 😭

🦋 Bree is reading 🦋 @bookishdaze.bsky.social · 21/07/2025

Deep down I need more reylo shippers to watch Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes so they can ship Noa and Mae. Intergenerational conflict between their peoples. Betrayal. Reluctant allies to enemies to....? She's a human and he's an ape (yes an ape just trust me). The Romeo and Juliet of it all.

I'm delusional but I'm free. Oh, I just recently finished Severance season 2 by the way. It's freaking amazing.

🦋 Bree is reading 🦋 @bookishdaze.bsky.social · 14/07/2025

But since my buddies on discord helped me theorize that KOTPOTA is a retelling of the myth of Theseus and the Labyrinth, what Greek retelling could we have next? I'm thinking of one that involves the underworld and Persephone. Orpheus and Eurydice? Psyche and Eros?

🦋 Bree is reading 🦋 @bookishdaze.bsky.social · 14/07/2025

Lolol okay I don't know for sure if Korina is forever trapped underground. Maybe she just wore the suit because she was making contact with Mae. But it still works as her being a queen of the underworld. Maybe she is a leader of the underground society in the bunker.

100

🦋 Bree is reading 🦋 @bookishdaze.bsky.social · 14/07/2025

Both referred to as the underworld goddess. Gemma was trapped beneath Lumon and couldn't escape to the surface. Korina lives in an underground bunker and she can't go to the surface unless she wears a hazmat suit. I'm connecting the dots!

Not me making an underworld goddess connection between Severance and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes because of Dichen Lachman's characters Korina and Gemma. They're Kore and Persephone!

Listen. The only way you can become a good writer is by being a shitty writer and doing it anyways. You can’t magically become a good writer by having a machine do some of the work for you. That just makes you a fraud.

I finally got around to making a poster for Rise of the Planet for the Apes to follow up my Dawn posters I made a few years ago now. Took me waaaaay too long to get round to doing this but I'm really happy with how this one turned out. Next stop, War and Kingdom!

I'm glad I posted this here. I now just need to make a thread on the Greek myth similarities in KOTPOTA and we're good.

🦋 Bree is reading 🦋 @bookishdaze.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

I've finally posted my KOTPOTA Romeo and Juliet theory on Bluesky. It is done. 😭 Actually it wasn't that bad. I just had to copy and paste, lol

And to top it all off, here's a clip of an interview with Wes Ball where he talks about "Shakespearean stuff" for the sequel.

🦋 Bree is reading 🦋 @bookishdaze.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

"But don't R&J die in the end?" They do, but just like how The Lion King 2 and Wakanda Forever had different endings, it doesn't mean Noa and Mae have to die. West Side Story, another R&J retelling, has Tony die, but not Maria.

🦋 Bree is reading 🦋 @bookishdaze.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

In POTA, apes are a mirror to humanity. We the audience see ourselves in them, and the characters must come to the realization that they're not opposites, but the same. It's about love and compassion over hate and violence.

100

🦋 Bree is reading 🦋 @bookishdaze.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

This reminds me of when Caesar tells his son, "I always think ape better than human. I see now how much like them we are."

100

🦋 Bree is reading 🦋 @bookishdaze.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

Romeo and Juliet THEMES Both sides realize they're the same and to not let hate cloud their judgement. As Kiara says to her father Simba, "A wise king once told me we are one. Look at them. They are us. What differences do you see?"

100

🦋 Bree is reading 🦋 @bookishdaze.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

I see Anaya being Mercutio. Mercutio is Romeo's friend. He's very witty, making jokes all the time. (Seriously, read the play. He doesn't stop, lol) His death is what leads to Romeo killing Tybalt. Anaya is definitely the jokester in his friend group. Poor Anaya, though

Back to The Lion King 2. Rafiki would be the Friar as well. He gets a message from Mufasa (Caesar/God) about how Kiara and Kovu getting together would unite the two sides. "Kovu...Kiara...together?" "Together...strong" youtu.be/zRUYkszuoRU?...

🦋 Bree is reading 🦋 @bookishdaze.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

Even his last words to Noa and Mae are "Together strong." NOT "Apes together strong," but "TOGETHER strong." He believes humans and apes, or at least Noa and Mae, are stronger together, because he believes it's what Caesar would want.

100

🦋 Bree is reading 🦋 @bookishdaze.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

Friar Lawrence believes Romeo and Juliet's marriage will unite their Houses in the eyes of God and end the feud. Caesar is pretty much God for the apes. Raka says since humans were important to Caesar, he must show compassion and try to teach them.

100

🦋 Bree is reading 🦋 @bookishdaze.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

Friar Lawrence is wise, optimistic, and religious. We see this with Raka already. He is religious and is a follower of the Order of Caesar. He's also a little too optimistic, believing apes and humans once lived side by side, so that's why he wants to help them.

100

🦋 Bree is reading 🦋 @bookishdaze.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

CHARACTERS So Noa and Mae would be Romeo and Juliet for obvious reasons. Romeo and Juliet's deaths brought the feud to an end. Noa and Mae could bridge the gap between apes and humans and help achieve coexistence. Now I want to talk about Raka! He's Friar Lawrence

In the end, both pairs are able to bring the fighting between their people to a stop. The Outsiders are welcomed into Simba's pride, and the Wakandans and Talokanils stop fighting after seeing their leaders return together.

100

🦋 Bree is reading 🦋 @bookishdaze.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

There are losses on both sides. Kovu's brother is killed going after Simba. One of Namor's people is killed. Shuri's mother, Queen Ramonda, is killed by Namor's attack on Wakanda. This escalates the situation. Things get worse.

100

🦋 Bree is reading 🦋 @bookishdaze.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

Namor and Shuri are also based on Persephone and Hades, who are a couple in Greek mythology. Hades kidnaps Persephone and brings her to the underworld. Namor kidnaps Shuri and takes her to his underwater kingdom. So R&J, Hades and Persephone...they're based on romantic couples.

100

🦋 Bree is reading 🦋 @bookishdaze.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

The two heirs/rulers from both kingdoms meet, and they don't trust each other at first, but they start to have compassion for the other. Kiara and Kovu fall in love. Namor and Shuri don't fall in love, but Shuri begins to show compassion after he shows her his kingdom.

100

🦋 Bree is reading 🦋 @bookishdaze.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

The Lion King 2 and Wakanda Forever are loosely based on Romeo and Juliet. (WF is also based on Hades and Persephone) Like the Montagues and Capulets, we got two rival kingdoms. The Pridelanders and the Outsiders. Wakanda and Talokan.

🦋 Bree is reading 🦋 @bookishdaze.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

Then the rightful ruler comes back from the dead, challenges the usurper, and takes his rightful place upon the throne. Now let's take a quick look at their sequels, hehe

100

🦋 Bree is reading 🦋 @bookishdaze.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

The rightful ruler spends time in exile, recovering from their wounds and trauma. They might even get a visit or recollection of their dead father.

100

🦋 Bree is reading 🦋 @bookishdaze.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

Everyone thinks they're dead, the usurper takes power, and everything is worse. There is no food in the Pride Lands under Scar's rule. Killmonger burns the heart-shaped herbs. Koba leads the apes to war.

100

🦋 Bree is reading 🦋 @bookishdaze.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

In DAWN, The Lion King, and Black Panther, a rightful king or heir is killed by an evil uncle, cousin, or family member. This always results in them falling off a very high cliff for some reason.
