hermann thoughts: if i discredit newton and his approach enough, the martial won't give him the equipment for his kaiju drift, and i can protect him from himself. if he despises me for it, so be it. there is little i wouldn't sacrifice to see him safe.
newt thoughts: this is a Best Science competition and i have to Win
#unscientific aside#newmann#pacific rim#thinking about them again today#it's very easy to read hermann's animosity during the movie as him being pissed off at newt for his 'completely crazy'#theories getting attention + being a massive nuisance in general#that's exactly what it looks like if you just listen to WHAT he's saying#however if you pay attention to WHEN he says it & pay attention to his face when no one is looking it's very clear there's more going on im#like the kaiju entrails comment. newt has all these tables with guts set up right next to the line & has clearly been working there for age#theres a big pile of intestinal-looking tubes over on hermann's side of the floor already! not a peep from hermann!#but then when newt tries to join the conversation he happens to throw another little squidgy bit & suddenly hermann jumps on him about it#brings up in front of the marshall how CONSTANT this unprofessional conduct is while also cutting newt off#he physically puts himself between newt & pentecost#interrupts newt every time he tries to talk#starts making snarky little personal comments AT newt to discourage him - 'don't embarrass yourself' 'yes [just get to the point]'#'this is the point where he goes completely crazy' [significant look at newt]#keeps hovering in the background looking between newt & pentecost#like. ok he is SO MAD that newt is getting pentecost's attention here. obviously#the thing that does it for me though is how sad and resigned he looks when newt finally does get to the point#this is not the face of an angry rival#this is the face of a man with ulterior motives for his animosity#i dont think newt has any ulterior motives hes aware of lol he thinks hes in a movie about 2 geniuses vying for scientific superiority#happens to be in love with hermann but hasnt realized because hes so mad at him all the time#he only realizes how much hermann cares when he offers to drift with him

Self indulgent headcanon that Newt is disabled too, just in a way that most people don’t clock at first. Their first meeting is around the time Hermann first has to use a mobility aid due to EDS & he’s still a bit insecure about it & of course Newt being Newt, he draws an unnecessary amount of attention to it & makes what he thinks are lighthearted jokes to lighten to mood. After a certain point Hermann just snaps, saying something about how Newt could never understand what it was like, only to find out later (possibly years later when they’re forced to work in a lab together) that he’s got some form of dysautonomia & is at this point multiple cans of caffeine/salt shots in a trench coat cosplaying as a human being. Man is scooting himself around on his wheeled chair with half his vision blacked out still trying to argue with Hermann & slowly he starts to realize that this idiot is running himself into the ground & progressively getting worse because he’s too stubborn to take care of his damn self.
It all comes to a head after a week of Newt passing out in or near Kaiju remains that Hermann decides if this idiot won’t take his disability seriously that he would do it for him. Hermann who always makes sure Newt has little snacks or small meals nearby that he thinks he’s stealing from Hermann or that was leftover from his eyes being too big for his stomach. Hermann who bargains with him- that he’d agree that Newt was right about something Only If Newt would drink a full glass of water first. Hermann who gets one of the Jaegers to install an extra fan on Newt’s side if the lab so he doesn’t overheat in the summer months & “accidentally” leaves a warm jacket on the back Newt’s chair to keep him warm during the winter months.

I feed off of sweet characters getting such horrible trauma that they wake up screaming.
It’s truly a problem but at least my filters on A03 are easy to find😔😌

Rewatching Pacific Rim right now, and there's this tiny moment between Mako and Raleigh that I really love
Toward the beginning of the movie, before any of the main action, Mako is showing Raleigh around the shatterdome, introducing him to the newly-renovated Gipsy Danger
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Directly after this, Mako shows Raleigh to his quarters and the two of them have this conversation:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
They talk a little more, Mako reveals her amazing simulator score, but also confirms that she is not one of the pilot candidates. They then discuss Raleigh's abilities. He asks Mako for her opinion - she thinks he is skilled but too unpredictable and reckless. She ends with this:
Tumblr media
Raleigh thanks Mako for her honestly and says she may be right. Then goes on to say this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And the tiny detail in this scene that drives me crazy is right here
Tumblr media
He says when. Not if, when. Mako has just explicitly confirmed that Marshal Pentecost is not considering her for Jaeger pilot. It has already been established at this point that there are only 4 Jaegers left anyway, and that the program is nearing its end, one way or another. In all likelihood, they have very little time left until the end of the whole damn world. Hell, Mako herself just criticized Raleigh, and he could very well wish to get back at her for that, were he a different person. AND YET, despite all of that, he says when. Raleigh has faith in Mako from the very, very beginning, before they even drift together, before he even sees her fight.
And that drives me crazy! I love their relationship so much

Anyone else just not feeling like a real person much lately?
#'lately' he says#as if he's not been feeling this way for the last 28 years#idk man#maybe it's bc I'm getting older and so are the people i hang/chat with#but it feels like everyone else has a real life and real interests and experiences and things to say#and I'm some kind of hollow scarecrow person just full of memory loss and sadness#i feel very stupid and very boring#which i know is too harsh. and i know i should be kinder to myself bc life and covid and shit can't have helped the brain situation#and i should absolutely believe my friends when they say they wanna hang with me bc it's mean not to take them at their word#but I'm still like... why though?#genuinely what's the appeal of being around me. my head is empty i have nothing to add and I'm not interesting or that funny#it's been creeping up on me. this feeling like i just genuinely have nothing to offer.#i don't even know who i am#except for a person who like. lives vicariously through fictional characters experiencing feelings I've never had cause to feel#i can relate to emotions SO vividly except i myself haven't even felt the half of them#i just sort of quietly exist somewhere on the spectrum between content and discontent#with occasional drops into the despair zone#and even if the stuff i think is keeping me here went away tomorrow. like if mum stopped being an issue and i was free#like... what would i even do?#i don't even know how to want something#anyway. this has been morning mental breakdowns with newt#I'm going to go make some made up guys live the life i haven't now#mr. bees speaks#negative

imo a core part of the newmann dynamic is like... you've got these two very very intelligent people who have spent most of their lives being Smartest Guy In The Room. which feels great! but also, it's very hard to form close and trusting relationships when everyone else sees you as Smartest Guy In The Room. and if you maybe don't have great social skills to begin with, you can't figure out how to compensate. and it's hard to build up solid self-esteem when the only thing people value you for is your intelligence, and a lot of them resent you for that, too. so really it is very very lonely.
and then they meet! and neither of them is the smartest guy in the room anymore! and that is both EXHILIRATING (omg! someone who gets me!) and TERRIFYING (the fragile pillar i built my whole self-esteem on is crumbling! help!).
they do NOT know how to cope with this. best they can do is being obsessed with each other.

*had to repeat can be anything from his parents forcing him to, to just doing so badly he was given the option
like I typically have him fail his 5th because that's more time to catch up and more time with Percy and because suddenly being in the same class as Oliver when before they were not, is alot of fun but I'm curious if there's a consensus

What if newt Newt and froggy Hermann took shelter together during a storm 🥺
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[ID: two digital drawings of Hermann and Newt as a toad and a newt taking shelter from the rain under two leaves. The first drawing shows them looking at each other and arguing with croaks and squeaks. Text at the bottom reads:
(Hermann): this is all your fault, Newton.
(Newt): Hey. I was not the one who started screaming when that lab-tech walked in.
The second shows Newt now having climbed on Hermann's back and is screaming. Hermann looks a bit defeated. Text at the bottom reads:
(Newt): I'm so fucking bored, Herms, I am going to explode, dude.
(Hermann): I will kick you off my back into the rain. End ID]
They got kicked out of the lab. ):
