AYRT.

I don't know why I feel gorilla transplants would be racist, I just kinda do. I just feel uneasy over it and would rather not go there. Plus I really like orangutans. I feel there is more in there with them than the other primates, I think -mind is the plaything of the body trope alert- that it would make a more creative difference.

The ewoks thing... I'm going, since these are still fully sapient and human culture originator minds at play, with sort of treetop villages as the centres of the population. Not as permanent and as well constructed as Lucas', with all the platforms and bridges, something a bit more ramshackle but still recognisable to a baseline human as a village in the trees even if it is more just a loose meeting place than a permanent residence.

Oh. So, "villagers in trees" is your main "but they're more like ewoks!" point?

Kinda. I mean the ewoks are kinda the biggest primate-type sapient with tree-villages in pop culture, IYSWIM? I worry by invoking that trope it might be too close to that. I was somewhat surprised when some of my betas threw up the Terry Pratchett thing instead. It has got me all second guessing myself.

Ewoks are aliens though. Orangutans are Earth creatures. And you're putting human brains in them. It's so weird to me that ewoks and wookies are things you jump to at all.

I came up with a story which involves main characters who are descendants of space hippies who thought becoming orangutans was a cool idea. I think we can safely say that logical connections have very little to do with my thought processes.
