Hamtaro X Godzilla

Release Date: December 2024

A few bags just released with new art! The art depicts a few of the Godzilla-hams spending being comfy and having drinks together. It appears that these bags are rather small, the red blue and green ones are W90 x D35 x H90mm, a good size for storing small trinkets or cash

The white pouch in the top right is a bit bigger at W180 x D50 x H120mm, a good size for holding stationary or makeup

Theres also a mini tote at H180mm to W280 x D100 x H195mm.

The small red blue and green bags have the designs embroidered on the front and back, it's so cute that they included a little coffee design! The white bags unfortunately are a print with embroidery around the edge, but the star and moon embroidery make up for it. The bags also have inner lining using the same art!

These bags are already up on the Godzilla website! You can use a proxy like Buyee if you live outside of Japan. Here is the link to the Godzilla website

✨ Smith of Wootton Major and Farmer Giles of Ham by J.R.R. Tolkien

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

“But what are all these knights and men for, by chance?” he [Farmer Giles] asked. “If you’ve come on a visit, you’d be welcome with fewer. If you want to take me away, you’ll need a lot more.”

I saw a tumblr post recently that said roughly “Tolkien did his best writing about silly farmers instead of solemn elves”. These two tales are proof of that. Every time I try to read The Lord of the Rings, I give up. But all his shorter books have been fantastic. This is another I have enjoyed!

Smith of Wootton Major is a faerie-tale, while Farmer Giles of Ham is a knights-tale. Both are entertaining with fun characters and even better plots. We try our best to understand faerie and we try our best to outsmart dragons. Either way I have enjoyed my time reading this.

I like how a small portion of the Godzilla fandom just collectively agrees that legendary Godzilla is Bi. Then the other half either doesn't give a darn or actually goes ham angry about it. 😭

[takerfoxx]

Okay.

I don't often gush about movies on this blog. Hell, I don't often go to the movies anymore. I just don't have the attention span for it. And I honestly was going to give this one a miss until someone who's opinion I trust was adamant that I needed to see this film right now on the biggest screen possible while I still had the chance. So, FOMO out won over, and I went to go see Godzilla Minus One in Imax.

...

Look, I've been a Godzilla fan practically all my life. My family used to rent those old english dubs of the films on VHS from Blockbuster in the early nineties. I grew up with these monsters. But I have to admit, I've never seen the original, nor have I seen Shin Godzilla. To me, Godzilla is about one thing and one thing only.

Fuck.

Yeah.

Gimme the big monsters just going HAM on each other. Rubber suits, CGI, I don't care! I want the big boys with beef to beef with a large side of cheese!

I guess that's why Godzilla 2014 ultimately left me feeling kind of cold while I absolutely loved KOTM despite how stupid a lot of it was. I just want my big monsters absolutely wrecking shit.

This was different. I knew it was going to be different. A remake of the original Godzilla, this time from the viewpoint of the common citizens still trying to get their lives together after WW2? I knew I was in for some heavy drama.

What I didn't expect was one of the most amazing theater experience I have ever had.

And I'm not just saying that because the movie is good, even though it is.

I'm not just saying that because the movie is great, even though it is.

I'm not just saying that because it's a goddamn masterpiece, even though it is.

I'm saying that because it's about as close to perfect of a film as you can get, and not just of a Godzilla movie, but just as a movie!

Like, it's a running joke that you can cut the human characters out of any Godzilla movie. Here, you could cut Godzilla out and still have a great movie. That's how good the human side of things was.

Like, you really grow attached to these people who have literally lost everything. You grow invested in their struggles, in their relationships, in their baggage, in their love for one another. You come to care about them and are genuinely happy as they eke out a new life after having their homes literally blown to bits. You just want to see them succeed and be happy together.

And that's when Godzilla shows up.

This movie is called Godzilla Minus One in reference to how post-war Japan was basically a Zero Society, left devastated by the conflict. And these people who literally were left with nothing suddenly find even that ripped away as an enormous monster just starts rampaging through the recovering cities.

And this time, Godzilla isn't an avenging hero. He's not a destructive anti-hero. He's not a fun mascot. He's not even a poor, suffering monster unaware of the destruction that he's wreaking. This Godzilla is goddamn menace, an outright monster that is absolutely terrifying. He wants to crush, kill, and destroy. This is Godzilla at his most actively malicious, and all you can do is gape up in horror with these people that you've come to care so much about, wondering how in the hell are they supposed to deal with this!

I won't give away how the day is eventually saved, only to say that it is a masterclass of character-driven suspense and emotion. You honestly come to root for the humans for once. You want to see them succeed, and are genuinely in fear for their lives. No exaggeration, I had my heart in my throat and tears in my eyes all throughout the climax. I don't cry during movies, and this movie made me sob like a baby. It was that good.

And it also had so much to say! Not only about Japan's collective trauma following the nuclear bombs or the other bombing raids like the original, but also about how the Japanese government dehumanized its own people during the war, treating them as expendable resources to fuel the war machine. The main character is a freaking kamikaze pilot who lost his nerve and abandoned his mission, and that plus another act of what he saw as cowardice haunts him throughout the movie, and while it realistically shows how such a person would be treated like a pariah by his former friends and neighbors, it is nothing but sympathetic toward him. He blames himself constantly, but the narrative never seems to.

And there's just this wonderful moment near the end, when it's clear that the government isn't coming to the rescue, so it's up to the common man to band together and find a solution, when a few men leave the mission for fear of their lives and that of their families, and are not condemned for it. And the scientist spearheading the whole thing gives this lovely little speech about how carelessly life has been treated during the war, from the kamikazes to the poorly maintained supply chains to how the common folk were left to fend for themselves, and he hopes to just once be able to secure a win that doesn't sacrifice any more lives. Wow.

I know it's probably too late for anyone else to see it, because I'm pretty sure it's theatrical run ends today. I just wanted to get this review off my chest, because wow, this was the best movie I've seen all year. What a goddamn masterpiece.

You can put Godzilla in any movie what movie do you put him in and why

I would put Shin Godzilla in any Hallmark Christmas movie, and I want the Second form if I get to choose one.

This guy. I want him in a Romcom. Squirming and vomiting his blood, in constant agony, struggling to even breath as it's gills can only manage to bleed under the pressure of being so large and not having the structure to support it. Incapable of ending it's own suffering, incapable of understanding the horrors it's doomed to become by the laziness of humanity to fix or prevent their own disasters. I need him at the dinner table as a family cuts the Christmas ham and have a happy ending as all he can manage to do is try to survive another day, unknowing of the god that will be birthed from his tortured form, struggling and not even understanding how to breath. Referenced in every scene, but never acknowledged or dealt with.

I want him. He is a beautiful creature that I wish death upon for his own sake.

[curiositykilledtheradiostar]

while im not shutting up about this movie. i love how godzilla looks in minus one actually. i love that it moves all stiff and awkward and looks a little cheesy. the movie isn't really about godzilla like. you have to remember that godzilla isn't real. it's a metaphor. the monster is a metaphor. you're not here for godzilla, look at this terrible shit ass lizard, this isn't some super-rendered hammed up creature design for you to go "WOOAH LOOK AT THAT THING THAT'S SICK". it's a big scary monster and most of it's big scary monster-ness comes from how other characters react to it with fear. it's godzilla because it's a godzilla movie, but the movie is not focused on godzilla. the main character's house has greater attention to detail than godzilla. the damage it causes is rendered better than godzilla. the movie is not about godzilla. understand.

Godzilla-ham Kun Merch

Release Date: July 2024

The Godzilla Store in japan has released some new Hamtaro goods! Everything is in very cute pastels, with a wide range of colors to choose from. My favorite are the plush bags, I want them all!

The Godzilla store seemed to carry a small selection of Hamtaro goods for a few years, so I don't think these will be limited edition. I have gone to the store a couple times in the past and they did not always have everything in stock, so if you want to be sure you get what you want, you'll need to use a proxy service. Unfortunately the Godzilla store does not ship outside of Japan, but you can use Buyee!

Godzilla Store

Yamashiroya in Ueno is also carrying this collection, but it looks like you can only buy in store.

[milimeters-morales]

still really love the idea of miles g making things out of the weirdest materials that have no relation to each other <3 like the missing “w” key from a keyboard + the twine on ham = a lockpick. a stray cat’s whisker + charger cord = emp mine. a bop-it + copy of the shin godzilla movie = tracking device. and each time these objects have served their use, they’re nowhere to be found. Aaron asks him about it and he’s doesn’t have an answer either he’s like “uhh something something power of love and determination”

I think it depends on how crazy Genocide ends up being and how badly it affects all parties involved. Like, I think it would seriously suck for Mothra to have to watch Goji go ham on humanity and wipe the planet clean, but I think the deciding variables is what happens to all the other Titans as a result.

If the impetus for the cleansing was Xenilla coming early or Ozzy not surviving (which I'm pretty sure it was one of these last I checked), then I don't think Goji would be the only one to go nuts in some way.

We haven't really considered what say, Shimo or Battra would look like in this timeline, so I think it's hard to say for sure where Mothra would be at the end of this bloody path.

If memory serves, another factor in whether or not Genocide Route happens is if humanity takes samples of the Space Crystal Cordyceps and wants to use them in some capacity, despite seeing what it did to Ozymandias, and Godzilla's trauma from that whole sordid affair with his poor brother. (Whether Ozzy lives or dies is also an important element, akin to the Adult Timeline/Fallen Hero Timeline split in Ocarina of Time based on whether Link defeats Ganon or dies.)

I think it's safe to say that Shimo would not react well to Godzilla nuking humanity, and might have a trauma reaction of her own; she's already been imprisoned by one ruthless Titan bent on a path of destruction, but of course there are big differences between Godzilla and Skar King, though she wouldn't realize it in the heat of the moment. (GxK's events possibly being concurrent with the Xenilla Arc wouldn't help matters.)

Campfire stories with avatars

It's so nice to be back in a writing groove!

Here's a sneak peek at some upcoming Hallmark by Knight silliness.

Context: Layla's in town for a visit. She, the moon boys, Jack, Robin, and Bri are hiking in a remote area.

-----------

Marc noticed Jack peering downstream, then scanning the valley walls. His gaze lingered on a nearly level part of the hillside to the east. “If a lot of people are camping at the falls,” he said, “we could double back and camp here.”

“Yeah,” Robin agreed, turning to Marc and Layla. “We’ll need the privacy so you can regale us with tales of your heroics.”

Marc felt his face flush. “We’re not—”

“You are!” everyone—Jake and Steven included—countered.

Jack slid his hand into Marc’s and gave it a gentle squeeze. With love and pride in his eyes, Jack told him, “You saved the world.” His gaze widened to include Layla. “Both of you.”

Bri and Robin blinked with astonishment. “Really?”

Layla smiled broadly. “Remember the terrorist attack in Cairo a few years ago, and stories of hundreds of purple ghosts?”

Their indigenous friends nodded as Jack grinned and bounced on his toes. Marc had already told his partner that story. Jack was looking forward to Layla’s additions when they relaxed around a campfire later.

“That was us,” Marc explained.

Bri frowned, and Robin raised an eyebrow. “You were the terrorists?”

“No!” Layla replied with a chuckle. “It was a cult, actually.” She grinned at Marc before adding, “We stopped them before things went from bad to worse.”

“It’s so cool!” Jack enthused. “There was all this magic and, like, Godzilla—”

“Bullshit!” Robin declared as Bri frowned harder and Marc and Layla roared with laughter.

“Bebé,” Marc gasped. “No Godzilla!”

Jack hammed up offense. “But there were kaiju—”

“That only Marc and I could see,” Layla stated.

Marc added, “And Harrow.”

“Who?” Robin and Bri asked.

“He’s the bad guy,” Jack said. “Harrow—”

“Stop!” Marc half-shouted and half-laughed. “This is not the place to tell the story.”

“You said Harrow,” Jack pointed out.

Marc mock scowled at his partner. “You said Godzilla!”
