HEAR ME OUT-

vid by @thatfilmguy5 on tiktok

Their scenes together have this likable tension. Every time Im like WHAT IS HAPPENING AND WHY DO I LOVE IT. There was this super intense scene in a field where Mae called for him and Noa came to her aid like a knight on a horse literally. It got me like- Oh… I want to see where this is going. 😳😳🙈

Their dynamic also complements each other that its cute! How they’re parallels but similar in what they’re fighting for. Both opening each other’s eyes to different worlds. HOW COULD I NOT WANT their relationship to develop in future sequels (even if they’re not endgame the TENSION IS THERE)

and their chemistry-

Its chef’s kiss. Its the Highlight of this film. When you watch it you’ll know. Their chemistry makes the characters sooo rootable and makes you more curious that you want to see how their dynamic flourishes whether as enemies or as besties- which is good and healthy for the franchise!!

Idk how they did it but the writers and Wes Ball knew what they were doing pining us with this tension. GENIUS.

Mae: *does the most dramatic name reveal* Noa and Raka: *two idiots with the most dumbstruck expressions*

The Heimler Prayer

Our Heimler who art on YouTube,

hallowed be thy name

Thy brain cows milked,

thy five received,

on exam day as it is in class

Give us this day our daily video

And forgive us of our mistakes,

as we forgive ourselves

Ane lead us not into procrastination,

but deliver us from it

For thine is the kingdom,

And the power, and the glory, forever.

APUSH.

Sometimes, a family is the king of Hollow Earth, an estranged ape child that got adopted, and an ancient Titan able to create the ice age. Also their entire army of apes.

TF2 comic #7 spoilers, if you haven't read, skip this post :3

Personally I'm gonna interpret the stuff with the Australium and Administrator to be like. An allegory for addiction.

Like she needed it and it became a vicious cycle of getting it and using it, getting it using it etc etc. even at the cost of everything and at first there was a reason, and then that meaning is lost overtime to just get the Australium and be a hater

(this part was my girlfriend's interpretation) And when she dies that could be a metaphor for either her not taking an ultimatum (Red team gathering around her felt very intervention like) or overdosing

I want to figure out something for the global strike however, so I won't be reopening digital ink comms until after this week. please stay tuned for that!

Had a whole spiral yesterday, a friend can atest to this, sparked by talking about how Hinton was a teen when she wrote the outsiders. As I remember hearing about a kid writing a book and winning a contest… and either reading it or having friends read it.

I know for sure others did, because there was a convo at lunch “Ponyboy? Sodapop? Are those nicknames???” And I either read it after my friends classes did or didn’t finish and forgot?

I want to say freshman or sophomore year of highschool? Maybe when we read Romeo and Juliet and to kill a mockingbird.

At this point idk if I’m making false memories or not as I must’ve had a class copy. I feel if I did, I had to be at least mildly interested then? Joined a amino or something 🫣

Idk I just think it’d be incredibly funny if I read it in school, completely blocked out the memory and then a few years later picked it up for the “first time” and became obsessed with it

No matter what I wanna print out one of those coloring sheets, so jealous actually

Proximus Appreciation

Godddd I forgot how good of a villain Proximus is. He’s amazing, Kevin Durand is a gem.

He is SO charismatic and lively. And he truly believes in everything he’s saying. Or wait, that’s not accurate. He believes in the power of everything he says. Whether HE genuinely holds those beliefs or not is irrelevant because as long as other apes believe, that’s all that matters.

And he is so fucking GOOD at talking. Like he is actually a gotdamn genius.

(Messy ramble under the cut)

Over Dinner

“I know you’re coming here to get inside my vault.” / “IT’S NOT YOURS!” / “Oh, it is now isn’t it?” He says almost laughing in the face of Mae’s outrage. Because it does not matter, not even a little bit, that the vault wasn’t initially meant for apes. Who’s around to stop and take it from him? Her? This one lone human? What can she do? Nothing.

Not by herself.

“Noa what do you see?” / “Stolen clans” / “Not ‘clans��, a kingdom. A kingdom for apes.” Intentionally steers away from how all the apes got there, and focuses on where they could go from here. A kingdom for apes. He gestures between the two of them, like you and me.

Then continues, “Humans can never be trusted”. Trying to get Noa to psychologically distance himself from Mae and connect better with himself. “THEY do not understand that this is OUR time.” This is our time, our world, our lives Noa. And all THEY want to do is take that away from US. It is not you vs me, it’s us vs them. I’m just trying to protect us, Noa.

In The Vault

Later, he tries the tactic again. “APE TO APE, what did MAE have planned for me inside my own vault?” He's giving Noa an out. If he pins it all on Mae and exposes the plan, then Proximus will ignore his involvement. Ape to ape, kin to kin.

But again, it fails. Noa refuses to sympathize with Proximus and is not caving. “Okay, so what do you choose, a human over an ape? Your sweet little Soona or that stinking human?!” You won’t connect with me? Fine. I know an ape you DO have a bond with. He takes Soona hostage and then manipulates how it could be interpreted. His question frames it so Noa will believe it’s about ape vs human, and that everyone witnessing will think it’s about ape vs human.

If that’s the case, the answer should be simple. Choose apes. Tell him the plan Noa. Help Soona. Are you going to turn your back on your own kind? For an echo? For a pest??

But the question isn’t about “apes vs humans” at all and Proximus KNOWS THIS!!! Mae is just a stand-in, a representation. It’s not about Mae the human at all, not on a personal level or even on a species level. Proximus only wants Noa and all those witnessing to BELIEVE he’s asking the simple easy choice of choosing between a loved one and a “pest.”

But the actual ultimatum that is being thrown is for Noa to choose between Soona and the Clan. Because Proximus is smart enough to guess that whatever Noa intended to do would help his clan and hurt Proximus. But he can’t outwardly SAY that because then he’d look like the villainous tyrant he is to all the other apes. So he must frame it in a way that makes him appear to be For Apekind™️ and Noa to be a traitor. You refuse to connect with me, so I will punish those you do have a connection with. What do you choose Noa? Ape or human Soona or your clan’s freedom? “TELL ME THE PLAN!” It’s all about that gotdamn plan!

Proximus is asking Noa the trolley problem. One ape or several. All people you love. You choose who suffers.

And Noa, the very clever ape he is, KNOWS this is the true question which is why he freaks out and Proximus has him right where he wants him. Because either way Noa loses. Sacrifice Soona or sacrifice the plan. Punishment for his refusal to submit.

After The Flood

By this point, Proximus has attempted talking Noa into joining him, he has tried threatening Noa into joining him. When “diplomacy” and intimidation fails, the only thing left to do is just kill him. Noa will never submit unless as a last resort. So that's the exact scenario Proximus creates. He beats Noa bloody in front of all of his loved ones and demands that before he dies Noa must bend the knee.

If he kills Noa without Noa ever submitting at least ONE SINGLE TIME, Noa will become a martyr for his clan. They’ll never be truly loyal to Proximus. Losing Noa is a waste of a very smart ape, but since Noa refuses to be useful while alive, Proximus will make sure he’s useful in death. So he orders Noa to bend the knee before he kills him so that Eagle Clan will follow.

It could even be perceived as another double-layered threat. Bend the knee and your clan will again become one under me after your death. Or don’t bend the knee and your clan’s fate will be left up for ME to decide after your death. Make another lose-lose choice Noa. You won’t be alive to witness it anyway.

God Proximus is just so CREATIVE and INTELLIGENT and MANIPULATIVE!! He’s a captivating antagonist and definitely one of my favorites!
