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

#yes i did also mean this in the literal sense#one of the great things about being a short bitch is incorporating it into justifications for poor decisions & dickhead behavior#“whoooaaa buddy calm down!!! you're not gonna pummel a *lil* guy are you?? that'd be sorta fucked up of you.#i've heard it's bad luck actually. to beat up someone who's under 5'5“.#i got sgs anyway ya know?? short guy syndrome.#it's where you don't have enough height for your body to contain your weirdness so it seeps out. hemorrhagic strangeness. can't control it.#doc said it's incurable. you can donate if you want. maybe treatment will get me to stfu for a little bit. ball's in your court my guy“#pacific rim#pacrim#newt geiszler#newton geiszler#newmann#(that's hermann in the corner of the shot who newt looks like he's about to gamer rage on so yes the newmann tag is valid)#hermann gottlieb#k sci#k science#meme#shitpost

Workplace Nuisance~
My participation to the "Ten Years of Experience" Newmann Zine and honestly one of the most fun I've had on a piece this year.
#newmann10yr#newmann#pacific rim#newton geiszler#hermann gottlieb#lots of silly things in that drawing that i still really like and packed with some of my fav headcanons#sharing an office and being teachers together - red eyes fucked up from hermann rescueing newton from the precursors - long haired newt#newton taking hermann's last name for various reason one of them being confusing people on purpose#the yellow tape making an appearance for fun#the blue lines around them to signify their connection from the drift#and easter eggs like newt's band poster that hermann kept from the letter era - some of their many diplomas - lady danger fidget toy#and other stuffs#idk i had fun with this piece

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.
#newmann#newt geiszler#newton geiszler#hermann gottlieb#pacific rim#pacrim#i also like the headcanon of herms disability being from a kaiju attack but eds herms is equally close to my heart#rereading this i had so many typos jfc i can spell during flare days lol

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
Directly after this, Mako shows Raleigh to his quarters and the two of them have this conversation:
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:
Raleigh thanks Mako for her honestly and says she may be right. Then goes on to say this:
And the tiny detail in this scene that drives me crazy is right here
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
#pacific rim#pacrim#mako mori#raleigh becket#raleigh x mako#maleigh#sorry for the low quality screengrabs they're just straight screenshots I didn't do anything special#i love this movie#i know i am obsessed with newt and hermann but I do wish there was also more mako and raleigh fan stuff out there#ALSO raleigh is so repectful of Mako through the whole damn movie#like for real#I feel like most other movies would have the male protag be an asshole here#a woman he doesnt know very well just flat out stated that he's not the right person for the job#he could very easily do the wounded pride thing here and be a complete dick to her#i feel like most movies would go that route and the audience would be expected to find it understandable/justified#but NO! raleigh is respectful. he pushes back on her opinion but also thanks her for being honest and acknowledges that she may be right#i love del toro for that and I love these two 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

back to the old house by the smiths is so newt coded
#“i would rather not go back to the old house”#the old house in question being the glade#“there's too many bad memories”#i don't think i need to elaborate#and then#“you never knew how much I really liked you because I never even told you”#it's him to thomas#(in a romantic sense ofc)#AND THEN!!!#“i would love to go back to the old house but i never will”#it's him in the death cure missing the glade when the virus starts taking over#and he starts missing how easy and safe things were back in the glade in comparison#the maze runner#tmr newt

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.
#newmann#newton geiszler#hermann gottlieb#unscientific aside#pacific rim#i dont talk about the whole Gifted Kid thing much because people get shitty about it but like#i think 90% of the time it's not ''oh i am smarter than all these losers. they are beneath me. i am so bored in their company''#it's ''im just vibing but for some reason my peers hate me??? what did i do''#+ poor social skills#and then the way you GET the asshole ''all these less intelligent beings are beneath me'' side of it is#the kid isnt given any tools to cope with being ostracized aside from ''don't worry what they think b/c you're smarter than them anyway''#also. thinking about One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces in relation to newt#i'm your nightmare little man!

I take personal offense every time I see Newt fanart that gives him a straight upturned pointy nose
Like what are you doing?? He has the boopiest nose ever why would you get rid of such beauty
JUST LOOK AT IT!! DON'T YOU DARE TAKE SOMETHING SO PRECIOUS AWAY 💔
#newt scamander#fantastic beasts#this exact thing happens to SO many characters i love who have non-straight noses#like why would you change that#it's a part of their face for a reason#that reason being it's gorgeous and it suits them#yes this is a thinly veiled reference to viktor (arcane) fanart that changes his nose#it makes me sad

*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
#marcus flint#I'm also curious if the answers different if you're favorite ship for him is different#like are you more likely to have his year be the same if you like Flintwood so they can be at each others throats even more from the start#vs Me who's fav is Flintley and has him fail because it's an easy way to push him and Percy together with tutoring#Vs maybe someone who's fav is someone from Harry's year where it just doesn't really matter much what year he's in#5th and 7th because that's owl and newt year respectively#and i feel if there are any years you could fail and repeat without it being a “you didn't show up” situation it's them#in case anyone doesn't know this question comes from how jkr is a dumbass and messed up his age early on having him still appear in POA#Despite the fact he should have already graduated even though technically it was fixed in later reprints

What if newt Newt and froggy Hermann took shelter together during a storm 🥺
[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. ):
#you are gettig 2 for 1 because i really like drawing toad hermann and newt Newt hehe#pacrim#pacific rim#hermann gottlieb#newton geiszler#newmann#i think being trapped in a space you can't escape with either of them would be a nightmare tbh ahaha
