Propaganda under the cut

Mosugoji:

It's two radioactive creatures, one is a warning of nuclear warfare and the other is a deity of light and reincarnation, what more could you ask for in a monster x monster ship?

Princess/Quiet:

It’s cosmic horror as a love story - you kill and betray and love and fight for your freedom together - Eldritch beings deeply in love but forced to fight in a tragic loop

Submitted propaganda by @justanothertranscowboy : “You are trapped in a never ending time loop, and you MUST slay the princess. The actions you choose to do, even before you meet her determine who she will be when you face each other. You both kill each other at least one. The Eldritch entity that the princess is apart of is thankful for any incarnation you bring of the princess, violent or kind, heartbroken and betrayed or loved and cherished. She is violent, she is blood thirsty, she's occasionally full of knives, she is sweet, she is naive, she love you, she hates your guts and wants to watch you die.”

Account Update 🌟

I haven't been on this platform in years and slowly started making posts and reblogs again. Most of the accounts I did follow back then are either gone, or no longer active. So I'm listing EVERY THING I'm into, so I can follow people back with similar tastes and interests. Consider it a get to know me things whole I make updates. Reblog, share and comment as much as you want, I'd really like to make good use of this site again. Especially since I'm a YouTube Spoofer and part time writer, and always getting inspiration. Which also means my channel is going through revamping, so you'll see some activity on and off as things are scheduled ahead of time.

Plus I'm working on creating my own animation studio with friends to bring my original ideas to life as movies and series in the future. I love to spread joy and fun to others to who aspire to animate as well! Warning: there's a a ton of things I love! 😅

Godzilla Has A Cthulhu Problem (Review of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters)

Kaiju -- including Godzilla -- have a Cthulhu problem. At least, when it comes to Legendary's film "MonsterVerse" franchise. FYI: No spoilers that you can't get from seeing the trailers for "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters", "Godzilla vs. Kong," and "Godzilla x Kong: New Empire."

The early form of what became the Cthulhu Mythos {1} was, at its best, pure nihilistic cosmic horror. The Great Old Ones and Outer Gods penned by Lovecraft, Howard, Lieber, Moorcock, et al -- Cthulhu, Yog-Sothoth, and the rest -- are not merely big monsters, but effectively forces of nature that are not malevolent so much as completely indifferent to humanity. Rather like the way humanity regards, say, ants. And then came along August Derleth. Derleth's efforts were absolutely instrumental in preserving and maintaining these works. Derleth even coined the name "Cthulhu Mythos"! However, Derleth also added in his own stories, which altered the entire tone so much that his works are sometimes called the "Derleth Mythos" to emphasize the distinction. Derleth's Christian world-view muddied the cosmic horror elements, even going to far as to add quasi-benevolent entities that could oppose the existing amoral Great Old Ones.

This impulse is completely understandable -- nihilistic cosmic horror is intended to be deeply uncomfortable -- and has more than continued since Derleth's death. I'm just as guilty of this as anyone; right now, I have a crocheted Cthulhu plushie, wreath, and finger puppet all within my sight. That said, there is a CTHULHU SQUISHMALLOW, for crying out loud. By making the Great Old Ones into simply "the big bad guy" or something cute, it makes that horror comprehendable and manageable. Which completely undermines the entire point of the Mythos. Cosmic horror is not "there's a big critter out there that can eat me." Cosmic horror is the inescapable realization that the universe is a place so large, so vast, that we cannot possibly comprehend it. So large, so vast, that all of our mighty struggles and triumphs and defeats, every act of valor and courage and triumph and defeat, are as utterly unimportant as the fate of a single bacterium on a drop of water somewhere in the sea. That space beyond human understanding is also the space that Godzilla -- and other kaiju -- inhabit. Godzilla's roots are in Japan's trauma from nuclear weapons and a society trying to come to grips with this force that is so indiscriminately destructive. That trauma is a clear parallel to the horror that the Cthulhu Mythos conveys. Godzilla is a force of nature, fundamentally unknowable. You cannot reason with Godzilla; merely get out of its way and hope it does not notice you. The single best line in Godzilla (2014) knows this.

There is no way that humans can manage -- let alone defeat -- the kaiju. Ishiro Serizawa (Ken Watanabe's character) knows this. The best he and humanity can hope for is that the kaiju that is least problematic for humanity wins. Not the one that is on humanity's side. The one that is least problematic. The distinction is vital. This is their world; we just happen to live on it.

This sensibility is perfectly done in the Apple TV series "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters". I initially approached it skeptically, but in ten episodes it manages to hit all of these notes perfectly well, solve most of the plot problems in the Legendary Godzilla franchise {2}, and got me to care about Monarch, the characters, the story, and even Godzilla itself. The plot is clever, the characters believable, and it is perhaps the best Godzilla story I have ever seen on screen. {3} "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters" is so good it even got me to forget the train wreck of "Godzilla vs. Kong" for a while. Then the day after the series finished, I saw the trailer for "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire". I have problems with counting Kong as a kaiju, even though Legendary seems hellbent on doing so. Kong -- unlike Godzilla or Cthulhu -- is not unknowable. While Kong is not able to be tamed or controlled, Kong is understandable. He -- like us -- is an ape. Even in the original, Kong is moved by empathy towards Fay Wray, though humanity (in the film) does not return the favor. But place him alongside Godzilla, and suddenly Kong is a stand in for humanity. Kong suddenly represents understanding and empathy and compassion and struggle and, eventually, triumph in the face of a nihilistic universe that does not care. By including Kong as a peer of Godzilla, the tone immediately shifts from cosmic horror toward action movie. "Godzilla vs. Kong" -- aside from not understanding either of these themes -- was overstuffed and underwritten, fumbling plot point after plot point in service of "oh, that'd look cool" without thinking about what would make it cool. I guess the difference is here: In the last episode of "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters," the plot builds in such a way that a final reveal hits, even though I knew it was coming. I knew it was coming early enough that I stood up and turned off the overhead light (it was glaring on the TV). My amour started to ask why, but I just said, "Wait." The reveal was glorious. It was fulfilling and satisfying while simultaneously evoking a sense of horrified awe. Nearly every episode of "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters" pulled that off. I did not get that feeling -- not once -- from "Godzilla vs. Kong." Regardless, the first minute of the trailer for "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire" seemed to tack back toward that cosmic uncertainty, with a voice-over emphasizing the limits of human understanding. But then there is a shot of a cute mini-Kong, followed quickly by these lines of dialogue: "Kong can't face this on his own." "He won't be alone." And then this image of Godzilla and Kong doing the "superhero team-up dramatic run" toward an enemy.

The second trailer is worse, doubling down on dumb discredited ideas about "alphas", ignoring the work that "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters" did to make the Hollow Earth idea less stupid (largely by still calling it the "Hollow Earth"), and then giving us THESE lines: "Kong is going to need some help." "Godzilla is on its way."

Look, I get it. My inner five-year-old went "OOOH," because that's exactly the sort of thing I would have done with my toys when I was a kid. I understand the impulse that made Legendary want to pit two big critters against each other. I like seeing really cool visuals and effects. But it completely fails in the way that "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters" succeeds. Legendary's kaiju franchise -- at least, in films -- is a stuffed plush Cthulhu, filing all the uncomfortable and disquieting edges off in order to sell something more palatable. They are big, dumb movies that turn cosmic horror into action figures. Literally. Yes, it looks pretty. And the trailers use swelling, rising music to great effect to try to make these absolutely dumb things seem inspiring by confusing our limbic systems. Normally, I wouldn't care. I would just continue to not particularly worry about it the same way I've not worried about the live-action Transformers franchise for ... well, all of them since the first one. I'm not just out to yuck someone else's yum here. But damn "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters" for showing us how much better it could be. For being so damn good that it made me care just in time to be disappointed again. {1} Obligatory acknowledgement of the straight-up xenophobia and racism of Lovecraft, which is not the point here. {2} I've yet to see "Godzilla Minus One"; however, "Shin Godzilla" produced such a ludicrously funny-looking version of Godzilla that I cannot take that film seriously.

intro post remake smile

HI! I'm Wyrm!!!

they/she/he - aroace - 20

I like to make loooong posts about things and I also reblog a lot of stuff lol. I love writing but also rarely do art. I consider myself a little bit of a theorist but also sometimes my ideas are wild.

Talking Tag = # wyrms can talk

my Ao3... thats kind of been abandoned a little but I'm working on things dw (Please read Void Crew its my passion project basically)

My unhinged fankids who i need to do more with (I'm also currently playing Miitopia with them, tagged as "fankids miitopia adventure" :))

My new years resolution (as of rn) is to make more fanfiction. I genuinely have so many ideas and i need to get into the habit of just writing stuff :(

I wanna also make... just craaazy OCs... like do a whole thing with them and stuff... That's something I work on sometimes maybe I'll eventually post them.

Main interests that I talk about a lot and frequently:

Sonic the Hedgehog! He is my top tag on here and idk if he'll ever be over taken. I am another annoying Sonadow enjoyer but I also like a lot of other ships too :)

Minecraft but also just Herobrine... I'm very normal about him

Five Nights at Freddy's - I'm in the minority but i love the Sci-fi elements introduced in the Novel trilogy... FuhNaff my beloved

Undertale & Deltarune (UTDR) are always rotating in my brain. I am a "Gaster is everywhere" defender.

The Monsterverse / The Legendary Godzilla captivated me so much. I love the characters, the ideas, the stories. My favourite is Godzilla vs Kong, but i do intend to eventually watch them all (Ive seen King of the Monsters and GxK too)

Doki Doki Literature Club altered my brain chemistry forever

Hollow Knight is phenomenal

The Bendy Franchise is very important to me and I hold it dear to me

Other Things I love a lot: (This also updates when i find something cool lol)

Gravity Falls is actually the best thing ever it's just so unique and amazing and it's got all my niche interests in it (and also it made me cry)

Terraria,,, Its so important to me <3

Super Mario is a place i like to visit sometimes but im not like... in the fandom??? I enjoy the characters alot (I got infected by the Bowuigi disease)

Resident Evil - I got into it with Village, and have since watched 7, 4 and 2. I hope to either see or play more in the future!!!

Welcome Home!!!!! I love the concept so much, and all of the passion going into it is amazing! I love Wally <3

The Amazing Digital Circus!!! I'm so invested and i can't wait to see where it goes next!! I literally love all of the cast but Caine might have to catch these hands if he pulls anything again iykyk

Lots of Indie Horror series. I'll list some of them here: The Walten Files, Generation Loss, Catastrophe Crow/Crow 64, KinitoPET, The Mandela Catalogue, Cooking Companions

I have a general interest in lots of like... cosmic horror themes and horror with interesting or unique ideas, for example SCPs and the like.

I also love supernatural and mythological beings because some of them are craazy. Favourites are definitely demons and vampires

Pokemon! I've been playing a lot of the old DS games over the past year or two and its so wonderful

But Yokai Watch is my childhood so its very important to me too

I played Pikmin 4 for Christmas 2023 and it was AMAZING and I hope to oneday play more!!

I need to catch up, but I like Doctor Who also. The silly.

Final Fantasy is neat but its genuinely JUST Sephiroth... he got me in a choke hold for like a week and I reeeeally like him.......

Ad Slicks for Godzilla vs The Cosmic Monster (Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla)

[almightyrayzilla]

“MekaGojira 1974″; 16x20 canvas; acrylics

Here it is, the final piece of the monochrome paintings of Toho's Big Five - MechaGodzilla 1974!

This certainly presented a challenge. The other monsters didn't exactly have smooth textures and edges. But that's what made this such a fun piece to make!

I was going to only use shades of gray when I originally envisioned this piece, wanting it to come off as "silver". Especially after seeing them applied (in my usual darkest-to-lightest technique), simply using grays would have made it come off as a grayscale image, like one of my black-and-white paintings, albeit more elaborate. Much like how using a yellow ultimately made my Ghidorah painting come off as gold and not sepia-tone, using a light blue as a highlight gave it that metallic look I was going for. Plus, using blue (both as a highlight and underlight) also comes full-circle to the Godzilla piece.

Also, it'll be much clearer for the print, but that is supposed to be the "black mountain" cloud in the top-right, which signaled his arrival. :)

(I may have to try a second round of these at some point. Maybe with the Heisei designs, and maybe even mix it up a little, like a red Godzilla and blue Ghidorah, say.)
