Georgiana Another One Of My Favorites ✨ A Gorilla Beauty Standard In This AU Includes Them Painting

i have a weird appreciation for Baroque artists, in particular Francois Boucher and Peter Paul Rubens, for depicting the human body in lush detail at a time that predates the standards for bodies to be thin and airbrushed with no wrinkles or cellulite

it’s just really interesting to me

so many the things women are taught to hate about their bodies—pudgy bellies, fat rolls, double chins, and cellulite—used to be ideals of beauty shown in depictions of goddesses

(image one: “and feeling the flood of the brilliant lights… natasha began to pass into a state of intoxication.” sonya describes natasha being “entranced by the stars” and it perfectly transitions into anatole’s introduction)

(img2: i really like helene/pierre dynamic. i see them more as chess mates more than anything else. thru the whole musical, she doesn’t touch him which??? i love because it indicates they are not even on speaking terms so i BET even a shoulder touch would trigger a bakugan battle btwn the two)

I was walking through the toy aisle at Target when I found this thing and had a VIOLENT AND IMMEDIATE FLASHBACK to when JP first came out and they had a bunch of REALLY COOL T Rex toys that I would have sold one of my scrawny small-child limbs for but my mother wouldn’t get me one because they were “too violent and also ate people” :(

My silly art account 👆 where I shall discuss pota stuff

No one asked but i shall slowly deliver my Roaring 20’s themed Planet of the Apes (future) AU starting with one of my personal favorites, Dorothea May the Bonobo.

Bonobos by the time this AU is set, are uncredited for inspiring the flapper look which includes styling fur into a bob-cut style and shaving off most of their hair off as a reflection of their society’s view of hairlessness as a status symbol (seeing as back in the day, alpha female bonobos were typically hairless from over-grooming by subordinates). The majority of them have French surnames and were heavily isolated from the other ape species—minus Gibbons who they’ve had friendly relations with for centuries—resulting in them sometimes “Americanizing” their names when they move to the main setting of this AU, Soror, which is dominated by the other apes species.

I’ll probably go more into depth about Bonobo culture in this AU in a separate post mainly because it’s quite long and I have many thoughts 😭 also the symbol on her necklace is meant to be an ancient emblem for Bonobo beliefs that has long since been interpreted in many different ways, it is the Yerkish symbol for “hide”

For a vague idea of the AU, it’s very loosely inspired by the original POTA novel which is vaguely based on early 20th century America and the concept of flapper apes came to me so here we are. I plan on taking inspiration from the original novel, the reboot films (seeing as this is meant to be set maybe around one to two thousand years after), some bits that I genuinely enjoyed from the Tim Burton adaption of POTA, “The Humans” comic series, and unsurprisingly the Great Gatsby lmao
