Sooo I have been playing with the concept of an au where Fire Rodan survived in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla 2. The first designs are the brothers during Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla. The second are them in Godzilla vs. Spacegodzilla. Then there's Mothra cause she's fun to draw.

In this story, Jr was able to hear from inside his egg and remembers being called "precious stone" by Rodan, who guarded him since he hatched first. Rodan was named Young Warrior by Godzilla, who was impressed by the little one's fighting spirit and was grateful for being saved.

Summary

It has been three weeks since the battle with Skar King and Shimo's release from the tyrant. Nature's balanced and all is well. Yet something strange has happened. Godzilla takes note as the other Kaijus have awaken and not by his own doing. Something has caused the others to stay awake, even though he had called for them to return to sleep.

It's not until all hear a voice calling for help, that Godzilla moves himself to investigate. Finding something unexpected, the King of the Monsters now finds himself in the sudden aspect of fatherhood.

Follow the King and his subjects as they traverse through this new exciting part of their lives.

[dappercritter]

The older I get the more my ideal Godzilla story becomes less about Warriors with kaiju and more about the human characters as well as what kind of effect living with or studying these monsters has on them.

Or "Pokemon if it was a seinen" as my sick mind likes to think of it.

Gift for Godzilla day.

Shin Godzilla as a cosmic horror. He became a universe and watches humanity’s hopeless existence as he recreates and snuffs it over and over.

But WHY???

This very short fic is an observation of the world. Godzilla is a vessel and a perspective to tell it through.

Horror is a reflection. If you don’t like what you see, smashing the mirror won’t fix it. You have to figure out how to fix the actual issue or else it’ll continue on and on.

Fic text and ao3 link are under the cut.

Rating: T

They called him Godzilla.

In their terror and fear, they watched him evolve through burning misery. Them, and the radiation they dumped into the sea, sealed their perpetual split-atom fate. The blame lay eternally on them, their ignorance was no excuse. They would suffer.

He grew, and razed, and enveloped, and absorbed, and mutated, and expanded, and swallowed, and devoured, and digested their pitiful, purulent blue ball of a planet in his roiling maelstrom. He pushed onward, rending apart time, space and existence until only he remained, the single tenebrous echo of a wrathful species long ago destroyed.

Inside his void, he recreated it all. They never knew. Ignorant filth.

The minuscule fools thought the universe was over thirteen billion years old. And they were right from their perspective.

They were wrong about their macabre existence. Silly little things, really, they got lost in their collective occhiolism and never looked past it. What more should he expect from unthinking microbes?

Many called out to the deities they worshiped over the eons. Maybe those deities existed somewhere.

Godzilla waited to meet them, to fight them, and so far none challenged him. Perhaps they feared what he would become to devour them, too.

He manifested his physical form when their atomic age began, he walked across their tiny places of worship and he disrespectfully cut them to scorched atoms. Their screams were prayers he ignored as insignificant. Their sacred blessings counted for nothing.

After the first time, after the trains, and the choking ice, and the agony, he expanded.

He became.

Thirteen billion years held no meaning to him after he became. He was everything. Time, space, matter and energy. They did not know. They did not understand. They did not learn.

It all happened again inside him, inside the void he wore. A downward slope was all he saw, but they, the feeble ones, never could.

Godzilla’s inner sense alerted him of obstacles and incoming threats, and he obliterated them like paper. His lurid cosmic light split the darkness in purple rays. He grasped atoms and divided them until everything ceased to be.

Puny insects, their destruction meant nothing.

He began it again, seeking change, and disappointment blossomed as hypernovae in the airless, black emptiness. Gamma rays tore galaxies apart and life became impossible as hate consumed him. He destroyed it and started another, heedless of what he snuffed out.

They thought the stars were balls of gas contained in galaxies. Quasars blazed along his expanding outer edges as the voids between them swelled. Black holes pin balled through the emptiness. Cosmic radiation sustained him, each source glowing brighter than a billion suns.

The stars were his eyes, looking down in accusation at the blue globe no more significant than dust at the bottom of the sea. Spinning galaxies persecuted the masses of murderous ghouls who refused to recognize him as their all.

He showed them the quasars as a red glow in the crust of his flesh. Let them see the horror, hideousness and meaninglessness of their existence reflected on him. They were insects, pushing through their hopeless, useless lives, killing and maiming each other over religions, and food, and land, and money, and, sometimes, love. Love, twisted into degradation and disgust. Their rage, apathy and loneliness fed him. He spat radiation on them while they spat radiation on each other, a vomitous mass of wrath.

Often, Godzilla reappeared to remind them of who their true master was. He burped up blood in their streets and tore their architecture apart, smirking at the harmonies in their mournful wails.

Their bodies splattered like paste under his feet, his footprints left trails of unrecognizable red mush amid dusty bone powder. He transformed their towering cities into disarrayed rubble until dead flesh and construction materials looked the same.

They never understood, nor remembered, regardless of how many times he collapsed everything and started it anew. It ended the same, every time, with the trains, and the ice, and the silence.

No apologies came. They weren’t sorry. They should have been. Fools.

As the ice spread over him, he closed his sightless eyes under the watchful stars and went inward, where it all began once more. He recreated everything over thirteen billion years until the ice held him still.

And again, and again, and again, further and further inward. These weak, pitiful creatures were terrible learners. He waited for the deities they begged for, waited for an end to atoms themselves.

Such execrable creatures on their blue globe could never conceive of how long or how old anything truly was. They suffered, it was their destiny to suffer endlessly, because they refused to understand every breath they took was willed by him. Sometimes he stopped their breath to watch them die, just because he could. They didn’t matter to him.

He was lost, no one knew, there was no trace of his yearning. They created him, all the agony after falling on their shoulders.

Let them shout. Let them beg. Let them cry. It never reached his uncaring, cold ears.

Godzilla continued imagining inward, another vessel frozen. Perpetually growing, the void within a void, a sempiternal horror.

They did this to him, and they paid eternally. There would be no shaft of light in the darkness forever killing them. No. No salvation, no forgiveness, no relief, ever.

Their suffering was his.

ATLA fic: "The Ancient World" - Character Arcs and OC's

Normally I don't do “This is my OC” posts, but I’ve been revisiting one of my shelved fics — The Ancient World, a crossover AU between ATLA and Godzilla. 

I’m currently writing draft chapters and segments that I am posting on AO3 as one shots. So I thought I’d talk more about the story while I’m working on the drafts.

“But you told this story before-”

Summary: Taking place a few years after Avatar The Last Airbender. The United Republic began international mining operations in the Earth Kingdom and Water Tribes, as society progresses with early technological advancements. When they dug too deep, they uncovered the remains of an ancient civilization lost to time, and regarded as myth. When dug deeper, they awaken Titans - beasts of these myths, that brought “The Ancient World” to an end, and may do the same to the current one.

One such the Titan known as “Godzilla” decimates the Water Tribes and makes his way to and through the Fire Nation and Earth Kingdoms. Another is a weakened and wounded dragon fleeing the wrath of Godzilla. Quickly showing its own spiritual power, communicating with humanity, introducing itself as Ghidorah, a claiming to be “guardian” sent to protect the world from Godzilla. Too weak to do much of anything (save for destroying a vast cabbage field), Ghidorah is seen as harmless by the general populations, who rally behind him as the only one who can stop Godzilla.

The leaders of the Water, Fire and Earth Kingdoms elect to throw their armies to face Godzilla until such a time Ghidorah’s power is restored. While Aang, his Team  and a small band of Kyoshi warriors, seek out the secrets of these monsters and try to find the way to put a stop to them with as little bloodshed as possible, Zuko is pushed by the other leaders, prioritizing the threat of Godzilla and a militant approach to deal with them. During an initial encounter with Azula and her followers out at sea, Godzilla attacks the expedition, getting them stranded on “The Uncharted Lands”.

Between Ghidorah’s growing power, and the hero’s isolation, people on both sides find themselves going down the rabbit hole, learning of the Ancient World, and the monsters that brought it to an end in a bid to save their current one.

— — — —

Getting the obvious twist out of the way, the titular “Ancient World” was our time period, wiped out by an apocalyptic event called "The Final Wars", which occurred about a century before Avatar Wan's time.

At the time of ATLA it’s now regarded as ancient history/myth. The present world of ATLA is the result of civilization and humanity having to rebuild over a millennia, with spirits stepping in following the Final Wars to help restore the world.

Anyways, this I covered this story in few other posts. You can read the full layout, here, but this post specifically covers shipping arcs and OC's. This will be part one of two posts, that will talk more about the monsters in this AU and how they're portrayed.

This AU may be out of date, with Azula in the Spirit Temple's release, but it’s still something I like to revisit.

Monster Humans Interactions

Including the mysticism of ATLA's world, some Titans, such as Mothra and Ghidorah have a supernatural and spiritual aspect to them. The Lion Turtles are revealed to be such Titans, having helped humanity after the Final Wars.

There is also a new power called “Channeling”; where an enlightened enough human (usually a bender) can soul-bond with a Titan through meditation. From this, a Titan’s consciousness can be channeled through them to the point of verbal communication.

When Aang and Katara have regular meditation sessions, Katara ends up “Channeling” Godzilla at a few points, getting more of an understanding of Godzilla, pretty much interacting with them face to face. In these instances, Godzilla shows he has a marginal understanding of human emotion, but social interaction is an alien concept that leaves him baffled.

His attempts to comprehend slang, expressions and etiquette are Played for Laughs.

Stronger beings like Ghidorah channel through others by force. Ghidorah does so to Mai; speaking through her to manipulate Zuko and the Nation's other leaders, selling himself as a "Guardian Monster" protecting the world from the "evil" Godzilla.

Ghidorah is physically weakened for two thirds of the story, manipulating the Nations' leaders into throwing their armies against Godzilla, forcing Mai to be his mouth piece. Ghidorah keeps Mai in line by threatening to kill Tom Tom using her own hands.

“Channeling” is a call back to the OG Ghidorah movie, which featured an alien possessing a princess. It is also a nod towards the Heisei character Miki Saegusa, who had a psychic link with Godzilla. “Guardian Monsters” originates from GMK, in which Godzilla was the villain, against an unusually heroic Ghidorah.

In fact, the story Ghidorah sells though Mia is pretty much a recap of GMK, even having Ember Island host a stage play adaptation as “Pro Ghidorah” propaganda.

This story also features Bagan as a secondary threat. For those who don't know, Bagan is a monster infamous in the Godzilla fandom for numerous planned but scrapped movie appearances.

Bagan's "canon" backstory describes him as this "Demonic Dragon God" or "The God of Darkness", causing no end of edgy portrayals of Bagan in the fandom; in fact, there was an IRL urban legend for an unmade "Godzilla vs the Devil", originating from a mistranslation for one of Bagan's scripts.

In this story, Bagan is a demonic dragon that Ghidorah claims is another "Guardian Monster" who can fight Godzilla in his stead. Because Bagan is bound to the Fire Nation, Zuko is the one who has the final say in actually releasing him. Zuko reluctant to do so because, y'know, the whole "demonic dragon" thing.

However, when the Nation's leaders receive fabrications of a coup plotted by Azula, claiming that she's taken control of Godzilla, Zuko is talked into giving the "Okay". Bagan then rampages across the Nations, becoming a threat that unites humanity with Godzilla, leading to a fight in Ba Sing Se.

After his defeat, Bagan flees to recover, before Ghidorah soon kills him and drains his power. Ghidorah then drops an exhausted Godzilla into the Boiling Lake, becoming the antagonist for the remaining third of the story.

Character Arcs

For Katara and Aang's arc, Aang wants to understand these monsters, and learn what they can of them. Aang also privately worries about the Air Nomads and the current world being forgotten in the same way the Ancient World was reduced to myths. For this, he and Katara try to reach an understanding with Godzilla whenever he is channelled.

We learn Godzilla lost faith in humanity sometime after the Final Wars; following a cycle of war, genocide and environmental damage, when Godzilla last awoke (Kyoshi’s era), he saved the world from another monster — the Nation's armies showed their gratitude by attacking Godzilla while he was exhausted and injured.

To fix this, Aang and Katara try showing Godzilla that humanity is still worth caring about, having Godzilla look through Katara’s eyes as they interact with the world around and through them.

In Zuko and Mai's subplot, Zuko's in a position where he and the Three Nations rally against Godzilla, with their people flocking to Ghidorah as their "savior". Zuko gradually realizes Ghidorah's true colors, and what he's really doing with Mai.

Zuko steps up, helping Mai sever Ghidorah's link and attempts to expose Ghidorah's manipulations to the Nation's leaders. Unfortunately Ghidorah has another ace up his sleeve that makes the situation worse, now "channelling" himself through Kiyi.

But my favorite character arc in this was Azula's, being an Azula Redemption fic. Following Smoke and Shadow, Azula is a Decoy Antagonist still trying to influence Zuko and his rule, getting her hands dirty where Zuko's are tied.

Azula and her new crew follow Aang’s expedition behind Zuko’s back, with Ty Lee among the Kyoshi warriors joining them.  Azula thinks she can play the situation ostensibly for Zuko's benefit; international mining operations discover what is soon revealed to be nuclear materials. After a test with these materials goes awry, Zuko hands them over to Aang and his expedition in hopes they can quietly dispose of them.

Azula's initial plan is to use these materials to manufacture something to deal with the Titans, and instill the Fire Nation as a world superpower. Godzilla attacks Aang’s expedition, leaving them and Azula's crew, on the "Uncharted Lands".

From there, Azula goes through a similar arc as Zuko did in season three; having a “bonding chapter/episode” with Team Avatar, and two with Ty Lee.

This would also be a Tyzula fic.

Azula doesn't have the same humility as Zuko, and is a lot more reluctant to open up and show her vulnerability to others. A lot of the time when Azula shows compassion or does something altruistic, she tries to downplay it. There's a point where she saves a baby from choking, trying to brush is off as "Well, if it wasn't me, it would have been someone else."

It isn’t until Azula accidentally soul bonds with Mothra that she actually airs out her baggage to the others. While this is also a Tyzula story, we don’t go for “Caretaker Ty Lee”. In fact, Ty Lee’s arc is about being assertive. She doesn’t immediately forgive Azula, nor is she relegated to Azula’s support system. In fact, Aang has more to do with helping Azula than Ty Lee.  

Ty Lee has mixed feelings, second guessing herself whether she is just afraid of Azula or has buried romantic feelings for her. Initially reconnecting with a childhood friend named, Shirio (we'll talk about him later) Ty Lee spends much of the first half telling off Azula and standing up to herself. But bit by bit her resolve falters, and romantic feelings start to boil over.

While Ty Lee herself isn’t that instrumental to Azula’s reformation, their relationship is used to juxtapose it; the more Azula heals and betters herself, the more she and Ty Lee start to reconnect. It’s only when Azula's walls break down does Ty Lee let her own walls break too.

— — — —

And then there's the Fire Nation Royal family subplot, with Kiyi and Ursa. Being 12 years old at the time of this story, Kiyi significantly differs from her comic counterpart. While Ursa tries a hand at this politics, representing the Fire Nation in Republic City, Kiyi becomes a student at Republic City's Academy. 

Kiyi doesn't have many friends due to being part of the Fire Nation's royal family. The few friends she has are in it for nepotism. Kiyi isn't as close to her family because of their duties. While Azula doesn't admit it, she looks out for Kiyi, having younger followers observe her as a proxy.

Being an Azula redemption story, Azula exaggerates Ursa‘s “dismissal” of her; though Ursa herself thinks she could have done more, but has a hard time accepting her faults as faults. Not helping is Ursa often sidesteps issues instead of actually dealing with them.

For example; in this story, there are rumors that Ozai is Kiyi’s biological father, and the timeline of her birth adds up. This causes some turmoil in Kiyi, especially when she’s compared to Zuko and Azula.

When Kiyi brings these concerns up, Ursa sidesteps the matter by stating Ozai didn’t raise her and so it doesn’t matter…without doing anything to actually help Kiyi’s worries or anxiety.

As a student, Kiyi’s favorite subjects were myths and history. So when Godzilla and Ghidorah awaken, Kiyi is enthusiastic to help get a better understanding of them and the Ancient World. Ursa also returns to the Fire Nation to help support Zuko and their cause.

At one point, Ursa joins a conversation between Zuko and Ghidorah/Mai; Ghidorah recounts a backstory of a sibling/rival of his — “empathizing” with them regarding Azula, suggesting that they should have smothered her in the crib. It begins to click on Ursa and Zuko that this "Guardian Monster" might not be so benevolent.

When Mai’s link is later severed, Ghidorah channels himself through Kiyi — doing such a spot on impression of her, that only Mai and Zuko aware of this — using self harm to keep Zuko in line for as long as Ghidorah needs the Fire Nation to back him up. To keep Kiyi in line, Ghidorah threatens to kill Ursa with Kiyi's own two hands.

In some revisions, Ghidorah actually goes through with this threat towards the end.

Ursa, Kiyi and Zuki don't interact with Azula until the third act, with mixed reactions. While Azula helped save the Nations from Bagan, after their leader's awoke him, Zuko helped awaken Bagan because he was lied to about Azula plotting a coup, manipulating his friends, and taking control of Godzila; which was followed with Azula and Team Avatar showing up in Ba Sing Se, with Godzilla in tow.

Even when it's obvious Zuko was lied to about Azula, he still isn't sure he can trust her or his friends. It takes a scathing "What the Hell Hero ?" speech from his friends to talk some sense into him.

With Ursa, I picture her being uneasy around Azula; the most she heard of Azula is second hand accounts from Zuko. The way I see it, both fear clouds Ursa's judgement, as well as guilt for (in her mind) pushing Azula away.

As for Kiyi, she considers connecting with Azula, to her family’s concern. But by the time Kiyi and Azula meet, Ghidorah is in the driver's seat. To spite Kiyi's desire to connect with Azula, Ghidorah shoots down Azula's attempts to bond with Kiyi.

I had a hard time thinking up a reconciliation that felt right for Azula and Ursa. Which is why I have Ghidorah going through with forcing Kiyi to kill Ursa in some revisions, making it a more bittersweet reconciliation.

Ghidorah then has Kiyi throw herself from a tower into the sea. Kiyi is rescued and resuscitated by Azula. In their first real interaction in this story, Kiyi hugs Azula in response.

Original Characters

First up is The Woodland's Commander - A minor but critical character, she is a more of a plot device for world building.

The is de-facto leader of her country's coalition in one of the "Uncharted Lands", it's through her and her people that the protagonists learn more about the Ancient World. 

She's also an expy of Lexa from The 100.

Originally posted by sabrinushka

Before The Ancient World, I wanted to do a Godzilla + The 100, crossover called, but while went nowhere, I carried quite a bit from one story to the other.

Like Lexa, the Commander is an introverted, ruthless, and pragmatic young woman; with warmer side slipping through, such as at a wedding she hosts, and she can usually be reasoned with.

When Aang and Azula's crews end up stranded in her lands, the Commander has them brought before her, deciding they'll stay at her palace's ranching village as guests. During their stay, we get some world building. We learn the “Nations” consist of multiple regions from our time period.

The Water Tribes: Consists of Alaska; Greenland; Northern Canada, and the province of British Columbia.

The Fire Nation: Consists of Japan; North China; North and South Korea; Mongolia; Far East Russia; Southern and Central Russia Kazakhstan; and the Ukraine.

The Earth Kingdoms: Consist of India, Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, South China, Tibet, Nepal, Vietnam and Thailand.

The “Uncharted Lands” broadly refer to lands outside the three Nations.

What is explored here is The Woodlands: consisting of Eastern Canada, and Eastern United States. Their culture and people are mostly based on the Grounders from The 100, and the tribes of Horizon Zero Dawn.

They're familiar with Bending, but generally lack it, making it a subject of curiosity. Instead they try rebuilding technology of the Ancient World; some regions have functioning electricity and radios, and are on their way to re-creating automobiles and firearms.

They also have greater knowledge of the Titans and their history, especially the Final Wars. Besides Godzilla's bond with Katara, their objective version of the Final Wars helps turn the protagonists to Godzilla's side.

The Commander herself plays a minimal role in the story; having the protagonists brought before her and allowing their stay; hosting a wedding celebration for two of her servants, inviting the protagonists to observe their ceremonies. During Bagan's attack on her cities, she leads a defensive counter attack, and later makes a trade agreement with the United Republic.

Another “uncharted” country is mentioned several times but unexplored — The Green Islands: consisting of Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland

While we don’t see The Green Islands in this story, it’s mentioned Kyoshi previously ventured there when Godzilla previously awoke. I imagine it as having a Celtic and Nordic pagan aesthetic.

— — — —

Miki - A minor but critical character, Miki’s the only member of Azula’s new crew I put much thought into. A young, nerdish woman, Miki was an abused and disowned daughter of a noble family, placed in the same sanitarium as Azula. There, she was conscripted into Azula's new crew.

It’s implied Miki was involved in the whole Kemurikage business, but that’s neither here nor there. Miki and Azula’s dynamic is described as a sisterly version of Entrapdak. In fact, Entrapta was Miki’s main inspiration.

Despite her past of familial abuse, ableism and misogyny — and involvement in Azula’s schemes — Miki’s otherwise upbeat and friendly and the primary example in humanizing Azula’s new crew. What Miki lacks in bending, she makes up for in her fixation in redeveloping lost Ancient World technology. Notably, she built a functioning cattle prod that she uses as her primary weapon.

When a mining operation uncovers nuclear materials in the Fire Nation, a small nuke is inadvertently re-created, and a test goes wrong causing a village to get radiation poisoning. Zuko has the weapons stored away in hopes of eventually disposing of them. When Godzilla and Ghidroah awaken, Azula opts to recreate these weapons to destroy these monsters, make the Fire Nation a superpower, and bring “glory” to Zuko. And Miki is in charge of building them.

Miki’s dynamic with everyone is that she earnestly tries to help people, but has a problem filtering social cues and reading emotions. As a result, Miki has little filter, and tells the truth in the face. It’s implied Azula (reluctantly) respects Miki as she’s the only one not afraid to talk back to her and stand her ground when confronted on it.

Miki is among those in Azula’s crew caught in the Woodlands, and the first to make an earnest attempt to befriend Team Avatar. Miki spends much of the story in the background as a passive presence, but would sometimes tell Azula what she needs to hear, as Azula’s walls break down.

While Miki’s not as active as the others, she is critical in helping Team Avatar and Azula’s new crew reach an understanding, and building bridges between them…and another miniature nuke under their noses.

That same nuke is used by Azula to revive an injured Godzilla in the third act. Miki catches on that Azula is in a dark place during the third act. When Azula goes alone to Boiling Rock, Miki tells Team Avatar what she’s up to, and they might want to talk to her out of something stupid.

Miki isn’t a participant in the fight with Ghidorah, but is among those at the celebration where Azula is publicly honored.

— — — —

Shiro - The only real human villain.

Most of this stories human antagonists are the Nations' leaders protecting their people from the “threat” of Godzilla. Characters like Kuei, Bumi, Hadoka, Arnook, even Zuko and Iroh fall into this camp.

We know where they are coming from; there’s no ill will between them and Team Avatar; and they have the benefit of the doubt of (mostly) being manipulated. When they realize they were wrong in the last third, they try to make things right. 

Then you got this utter raasclaat.

A young, ambitious, but minor Fire Nation noble, Shiro is looking for a spot on Zuko's court upon being released from house arrest following the war. He is also a childhood friend of Ty Lee's, having an open infatuation with her. After Ty Lee's falling out with Azula, Shirio is quick to try to reconnect with her.

Besides his relationship with Ty Lee, Shirio is something of a fanboy, and sycophant to Zuko, who often becomes put off by him. Shirio also has a serious hate boner for Azula, and makes it everyone's problem.

Initially, Shirio comes off as an enthusiastic — if arrogant and annoying — new friend to Team Avatar, looking to lend a helping hand. Shirio joins Aang's expedition, ostensibly on Zuko's behalf, but mainly because Ty Lee was coming with. But over time, we gradually see his true colors.

Shirio see's himself as this wholesome and romantic savior, “protecting” Ty Lee from “abusive influences” (Azula), while exhibiting many red flags of his own; becoming increasingly controlling of Ty Lee, keeping her dependent on him; infantilizing her under the guise of being a “concerned and protective” friend.

He also has zero sense of boundaries, to the point Ty Lee subconsciously locks her doors from him when staying in the same house.

He uses gaslighting tactics whenever Ty Lee second guesses herself; self harms when things and conversations aren’t going his way. When initially stranded, Shirio keeps an injured Ty Lee in an isolated camp, claiming everyone else was killed, so he can be “alone” with her...only to feign surprise/relief when they’re found by the others.

Y’see, Shirio is a “Tender Misanthrope”: someone who deludes themselves into thinking they’re a loving, caring person, while treating everyone around them like shit. They only care about idealized images they project onto others; friends and “loved ones” are accessories. You’re only worth caring about if you’re the person they want you to be, a thought process not uncommon for abusers or groomers.

Shirio idolizes Zuko as this sort of "chad" power fantasy to vicariously live through; “likes” Ty Lee as this battered damsel of his Romantic Hero fantasies; while Azula is this toxic abuser to “protect” Ty Lee from. Anything that challenges these images or his narrative, results in Shirio showing a very ugly side.

Ironically, this means when Azula shows she’s not the monster he sees her as, Shirio hates her even more for distorting that image. Unfortunately for Shirio, he's not only in an Azula redemption story, but a Tyzula one. The more Azula heals, betters herself and reconnects with others — especially Ty Lee — the more openly hateful and toxic Shirio becomes.

There is a point in the story where Azula saves a choking baby in the house they're staying at — Shiro privately considers smothering the baby for being “tainted” by Azula. He only doesn't go through with it, because he couldn't think of a way to get away with it at the time.

When Ty Lee soon tells him off for his increasingly toxic behavior, Shirio punches a stone wall beside her head to try shut her up, unfazed that he broke his own hand. 

Later reaching out to the Nations' leaders, Shirio lies that Azula is plotting a coup and weaponizing Godzilla, and manipulated Team Avatar to her side. Ostensibly to “help” his people, Shirio makes a blood pact with Bagan and encourages a paranoid and desperate Zuko to give the "Okay" to setting Bagan against Godzilla.

As a blood sacrifice, Shirio orders mass executions of the Fire Nation’s prisoners, regardless of their crimes, engineering Bagan's awakening. Bagan's subsequent rampage kills about 900,000 people across the Nation's and a city in the Woodlands. 

All to punish Ty Lee for “loving a monster”.

On a comedic note, Bagan is flatly disappointed to learn Shirio's actual motives for setting him loose.

After Bagan is defeated, an unrepentant Shirio is confronted, cornered and imprisoned. We last see him at the end, after Ghidroah's death; when Azula is publicly honored and reconciles with her surviving family, a bitter and seething Shirio hears the news in his cell.

While Shirio's story end with his imprisonment, years later, Ty Lee and Azula would start a family, through mystical means of conception I won't explain here; having a daughter named Yasuko, and from her, a granddaughter named Asami.

You're probably wondering if Shirio has any tragic backstory ? Eh, not really. Shirio lived a pampered life as a noble, with the only real setback was his four year house arrest. “But why does he hate Azula ?" You ask "If they knew each other as children, she must have done something to him, right ?”

As children, Azula often teased Shirio regarding his lack of fighting prowess, and status as a lesser noble. In retaliation, Shirio eventually cornered Azula outside the girls' academy, attempting to strangle Azula and bash her head with a rock. In self defense, Azula broke his wrist. Shirio was subsequently put under house arrest until Zuko pardoned him shortly into his rule.

But the worst part was Ty Lee stopped hanging out with him in favor of Azula. For this, Shirio saw Azula as this wretched, inhuman monster, and is genuinely offended at the insinuation that she isn't. Comparatively, Shirio's idolization of Zuko began when the young prince took him to get his hand bandaged after Azula broke it — a single gesture that Zuko himself barely remembers.

That’s it. That's his sob story. That's all the tragedy and nuance he's gonna get.

I may do a follow up post, talking more about the monsters featured in this AU. I would have done so here, but it was getting bloated.

How is he?

Still shaken, but “very fuckin confused” as he put it, we’re saving the assignments his teachers given him for later, and probably spend time giving ***** and a few others a hand with some of the rebinding.

That’ll be good it’ll take his mind off of earlier

You okay, something else happen?

If ****** ** **** *** **** ** * *********’ **** *** ****** *** ***** ***** ********* ***? ** ** *** **** ***** ********** *** ***** *** ******** ***** *** ** ***** ***** *** **********

**** no one has ever seen ********** **** how would he recognise him ** ** ***** ******* *** ****.

‘Am I doing right?’

What brings that question?

Every time, I always feel like I failed him, I don’t know why. Every time he’s sad or every time he has an attack or episode.

And then when he is happy and having fun, why do I still feel like I failed

You don’t think you’ve failed, you believe you’ve failed, you believed you failed him because you weren’t able to help him when he was little… little-er.

You believe you’ve failed because you weren’t there. The point is, you haven’t failed, not yet, not now, not later. You are helping him, every day, every hug every compliment every laugh. You’ve came to me about this before with your eldest, the cycles just unfortunately running down through the clutch.

As some humans I over head befoe would say.

I finally broke and decided to write my own kongzilla fic. I'm currently on chapter 4, but I plan to at least get past the events from The New Empire before I post anything publicly. To be honest, I'm new to sharing stuff online and AO3 scares me.

The funny thing is, what made me want to write a kongzilla fic was Rodan. He's either never mentioned or is just a minor character. But he has so much potential!

Him and Shimo have opposing abilities, fire and ice. I think it would be cute if they bonded on their extreme temperatures, like the struggle to avoid freezing or setting everything on fire. Or maybe when they touch, they create fog because they cancel each other out. And they both know what it was like to work for the 'bad guy'. I want Rodan to reflect on how guilty he feels for doing Ghidorah's bidding and for Shimo to comfort him and tell him that their situations were different. Scar King needed Shimo, he couldn't kill her. Ghidorah didn't need Rodan, he could've killed him.

And imagine Rodan and Suko in the same room AND while Godzilla and Kong are going through a "will they, won't they" situation. Rodan would be the fun uncle that constantly gets into trouble with Suko. When they are together, Godzilla and Kong's anxieties spike to 100.

I also headcanon all Rodans to be social creatures that can't live without family. The first film had a mated pair that died together because one couldn't live without the other. The heisei Rodan was a surrogate older brother trying to save his little brother. And in the end he sacrificed his life because his ADOPTED little brother told him to. So yep, I think Rodan would admire Kong to some extent. He didn't submit when an alpha titan beat him in a fight, he found his family and is doing everything to care for them. Kong is what Rodan could be.

Another headcanon of mine is that Godzilla and Rodan are old friends. Blame the showa era for making it impossible for me not to see a close bond between the two. Imagine how tricky things got after the whole Ghidorah thing. Do they talk about? Do they fight over it? Do they treat each other like lifelong companions or has Godzilla changed since he became the protector of the world? Rodan did seem scared of him in KOTM.

I promise the fic won't just be about Rodan! I just think it'd be a nice side plot to actually characterize him. I mean, look at all the potential dynamics! Mothra and Shimo can work together to get Godzilla and Kong to kiss while Rodan and Suko work together to embarrass them at every progression of their relationship.

Summary

It has been three weeks since the battle with Skar King and Shimo's release from the tyrant. Nature's balanced and all is well. Yet something strange has happened. Godzilla takes note as the other Kaijus have awaken and not by his own doing. Something has caused the others to stay awake, even though he had called for them to return to sleep.

It's not until all hear a voice calling for help, that Godzilla moves himself to investigate. Finding something unexpected, the King of the Monsters now finds himself in the sudden aspect of fatherhood.

Follow the King and his subjects as they traverse through this new exciting part of their lives.
