Dive into a world of creativity!
I both love and hate my mom having worked with monkeys when she took practices as a Vet Tech at a zoo. Cause on one hand, I can see how she reacts to cubs and other monkeys and stuff. On the other hand, I show her the picture, she coos, and then proceeds to tell me a fact I didnβt wish to originally know. (Japanese Macaques have hepatitis, apparently..)
Also, another mother monkey thing, Lego Monkey Kid Wise, She says that all the monkeys on FFM are probably Japanese Macaques-
And also Sun Wukong is one too-οΏΌ
Type of shit I've been on.
Yeah, it's probably just that.
Hm, probably just the summer heat, right?
Im sorry was I ment to find out that monkeys apparently have food pouches like chipmunks from Journey to the West??
Tonight, I attended the opening of Dermot Seymour's 'The Nine Primates of Ulster' at the Kevin Kavanagh Gallery, Chancery Lane, Dublin 8. The event began with Dermot conversing with Martin Mackin before answering questions from an audience about his work. Afterwards, the atmosphere was relaxed with plenty of chat.
Each of Dermot's paintings featured the portrait of a different species of money or ape. He did not specify any of these species in the titles of his paintings. The faces and eyes of these animals were painted in sharp expressive detail while their shoulders and background appeared more blurred and abstract. I liked 'Primate of Cavan' and 'Primate of Monaghan' due to their compositions. Dermot's show will run until 12th Oct 2024.

So I've recently joined the Arcane fandom (have not seen any of it yet but have absorbed some fanfics and lots of youtube clips) and I gotta say...
The fact that Jinx/Powder's two animals associated with her are the
Monkey - very intelligent, often associated with being crazy, and the
Shark - can be extremely violent and dangerous, misunderstood creatures stereotyped by the public
Like...hm. The symbolism is well done in this one.
EDIT: I realized she also is represented by a crow/raven (not sure which), and well...
3. Raven - associated with bad omens and death, also very intelligent. Collects shiny things (the unrefined Hexgems, anyone?)
I do online school and it gave me a sentence to find the verbs and what not and the sentence was "Gerard studied monkeys and learned that they eat foods such as nuts and fruits" and my brainrotten self thought if Gerry Keay from TMA,can we headcanon that he likes monkeys?
Personal ranking of the great apes is:
Orangutans
Gorillas bc they're actually pretty nice for such a huge animal
Bonobos bc they're a bit too freaky for me. why does their wikipedia page have a whole section on their freakiness
Chimpanzees I HATE CHIMPANZEES they're just tooo scary, sorry to any chimpanzee fans

Silly Game Time: Who are some simian (monkey-like or ape-like) characters you like, and why?
They could be literal monkeys or apes, hybrids, shapeshifters, characters who wear monkey-themed clothes/costumes, or even just be a peopls who has a monkey/ape vibe in your opinion. They can be from any media (movies, shows, books, comics, games, etc.) (OCs count, too, if you like). All that matters is that they are somehow simian and you like them!
Some simians I like are the Emperor tamarin and the orangutans because they are so cute and I don't know I just like them A LOT.

"not my circus, not my monkeys" = not your problem
"not my circus, but those are my monkeys" = it's only your problem as far as figuring out how to retrieve them without being caught
"my circus, but those aren't my monkeys" = it's your problem until you figure out whose monkeys those are, and after that you make it their problem
"my circus, my monkeys" = this is 100% on you. On the bright side, if you decide you're chill with the shitshow currently happening, nobody can walk in and make you do anything about it.
