Facing the Struggle as a Queer Transgender Refugees. We Need Your Help. đ
Hi there,
I'm AshleymilesPhil, a transgender queer refugee, and today Iâm sorry this might feel random, and I didnât mean to come to you like this but I'm reaching out with an urgent plea. Life in the refugee camp is incredibly harsh for our LGBTIQ community. Weâre facing extreme shortages of food, clean water, medicine, and safe shelter. Each day is a fight for survival, and without basic necessities, itâs getting harder to hold on.
Itâs difficult to ask for help, but we have no choice. Weâre in a dire situation, and we need your support to make it through. Your donation, no matter the size, can provide life-saving essentials like food, clean water, and medical care for our community. Without your kindness, we are left vulnerable, struggling to survive.
If youâre able, please consider contributing to our GoFundMeâŹď¸đ

Your generosity could truly make the difference between life and death.
I also ask you to visit my blog, reblog my post, and share our story to help us spread awareness. The more people know about our struggle, the more help we can get. You can be part of amplifying our voices when we have been silenced for so long.
I know itâs hard to ask for money, but we are in desperate need. We canât survive this alone, and we rely on the compassion of those who can offer even a small bit of help.
Thank you for your time, for caring, and for sharing this journey with us. Your support is everything.
With deep gratitude,
AshleymilesPhil

Tallsbian saga(so far!) in order!Â
Gaia my beloved, she is a very distant relative of Caesar through a sibling of the wife of Proximus Caesar (yes i headcanon that proximus is ironically the real descendant of Caesar and no he did not realize this was actually 100% either). She is very loosely inspired by Dr. Zira and Ari, as well as having some inspiration from Jordan Baker in the Great Gatsby. I forgot to specify this in reference but she is from one of the handful of âOld Moneyâ chimpanzee families, and she holds a lot of prejudices that she doesnât even realize are offensive (inspired by Dr. Ziraâs blatant hatred for gorillas and orangutans in the og films).
Concept scene (consider it semi canon for now) for my AU, my idea for this thingy is that it will sometimes switch settings from the âmodern 1920sâ era to the eras of Cornelius and later his son Milo. Mainly because I like the idea of creating parallels between characters and exploring why things are the way they are by the time the â1920sâ era starts.
For context, I based Lakeâs role very loosely off of Heloise from Escape from planet of the apes and as such sheâs become pretty jaded throughout the years and has a strained relationship with Corneliusâs son Milo and his sonâs wife Lisala (paying homage to the original Caesarâs wife Lisa)
Again this is mainly concept so itâs a lil messy đ
âLisa. Quit your sniffling, get up,â Lake rather bluntly ordered the much younger female, unbothered by the fact that the little queen was practically curled up in the fetal position.
Lake stood at the entrance to the royal coupleâs home, even with the indifference she felt towards the two she still couldnât bring herself to disrespect them by fully entering without permission. For now, she was perfectly content with waiting for the bonobo get up and follow her outside, there was to be a funeral for the late prince after all.
When it looked like the queen wasnât even going to stir from her spot, Lake briefly considered getting one of Lisalaâs few friends to drag her out of her nest before Lisala finally spoke, quietly but loud enough for the older female to make out, âI do not want them to burn him, it will hurt him even more.â
Lake sighed while rubbing her forehead in growing frustration, âHe is already dead, Lisa. It does not matter anymore.â The fact that the queen still couldnât understand sign fluently made this conversation even more aggravating, especially since Lake hated the way her throat ached with each word she forced out.
Finally, Lisala shifted from her spot and Lake was able to notice the dark stains on the fur pelts that made up the nestâlikely being dried blood, and it was that exact moment where a foul stench permeated the air around them.
She couldnât hide her gag and had to slap a hand over her muzzle to avoid vomiting; was that ape insane?! The bonobo would be lucky if her fur didnât reek of death once they finally managed to pry the tiny corpse from her arms. âSorry. Got used to it,â Lisala murmured while gently rocking her son in her arms, seemingly unfazed by the smell of rot around her.
Lake hiccuped as she felt bile hit her throat and immediately had to step out to swallow it with a grimace, she hadnât signed up for this. Milo had simply ordered her to retrieve his wife and child for the funeral pyre; that was it.
After spending a few minutes outside to clear her head and nose from the smell, she knew she had no choice but to drag the queen outside if she had any hopes of finally getting the prince away from her. Lake had been told earlier that day by one of the elder females that in the old days, it wasnât uncommon for mothers to carry around their dead infants as a coping mechanism.
She could sympathize with that concept but that didnât make it any less unnerving to watch the mourning mother coo at her son like he was still alive. They didnât follow the traditions from the old days anymore for good reasons most of the time, and this was becoming another reason why.
The healers had explained to her and Bark that there was nothing they could do for the child, he had been long dead when they inevitably found him; in a crumpled heap next to a bloodstained boulder, it had been clear to everyone that the poor thing slipped from the branches above and cracked his skull on the rock. According to the lead healer, Fisher, the prince likely died on impact or passed while he was unconscious.
Instead of having him be cleaned up by the healers in preparation for the funeral pyre, Lisala had snatched him up and darted to her home without even saying a word to anyone there. She wasnât the only one who was hurt over the princeâs death and that was another thing that frustrated Lake.
Lisala always seemed to carry the belief that she was alone despite being surrounded by apes that waited on her hand and foot without a single complaint, what right did she have to claim that they didnât care for her?
And it had been nearly a whole week since Lisala holed up in her and her husbandâs nest, not coming out once even to eat or drink; Lake suspected Milo had been sneaking her both of them to allow her to wallow in her misery away from everyone.
She wished she had just sucked it up and begged one of the queenâs friendsâall bonobos, of courseâto drag her out themselves but she didnât have the patience to deal with their annoying behavior either! So she wasnât just left with the option of being even more firm about this, even if it came off as being cruel for no good reason.
âStop crying.â
âWhy?â Oh great, here was that annoying habit of Lisala questioning literally anything and everything coming back at the worst time.
It felt like she was talking to a toddler at this point, âYou can not show weakness. For your husbandâs sake.â
âWhy?â
Was she really that dense?!
Lake couldnât stop herself from snapping, âStop asking why! You are the kingâs wife, that is why!â
âBut why?! This,â Lisala practically shoved the still bloodied corpse of the little prince in Lakeâs disgusted face, âwas my baby too! Why is Milo your only concern, you hate my husband, almost as much as you hate me!â She immediately pulled her son back close to her chest, gently stroking the fatal wound on his head while looking down at him with watery eyes.
Lake stared at the trembling bonobo, and for the first time was really hit with just how young Lisala looked; that was right, she said herself awhile back she was only thirteen. Milo was almost as young as her but didnât have to go through the anxiety of pregnancy, the indescribable pain of birth, nursing that infant with the knowledge theyâd have to be weaned one day, just to be holding their cold corpse not even a year later.
She could remember how ecstatic Lisala was when she first realized she was pregnant, and had pleaded with the midwives to allow her to seek out her original clan so she could give birth with her family. Of course, they had refused to let her go off on her own, it wouldâve been too dangerous so she had instead given birth to her first son while surrounded by females she barely knew. According to Milo, she had later sobbed over not being with her mother during such a sacred time in her life.
It was almost like looking at a younger version of herself. The way she had spoke to Lisala was the exact way she would talk to herself when she first discovered she was pregnant with her late loveâs child, degrading herself for wanting to breakdown and cry because traumatized little Cornelius was the one who needed comforting, not her. And here she was doing the same thing to a vulnerable little girl with her dead child in her arms.
Lake felt sick to her stomach.
More than anything she wished to have her former mother-in-lawâs guidance and kind way of handling situations like this but⌠she was long dead, and so was her beloved Blue Eyes. Her eyes stung with tears and the only thing she could choke out was, âjust please come down before sunset⌠LisâLisala, please.â
