[ganondoodle]

you know, a plothole (kinda, its one to me) i havent even talked about before is .. how is there basically no sonau tech in the past, or isnt shown nor used; the only thing i remember is that weird half assed way to try and make us care about the apparent time zelda had spent there and tell us in a tiny text you have to find scattered above the sky that she "tamed a construct beast" which .... could be anything bc its so vague and non-interesting and .. maybe one or two non-combat constructs in the background in a few of the cutscenes

but given how many constructs there are alive in totks present, and more are broken down that were probably working back in the past, did they even use anything of it against ganondorf? like, i know its called a war but we only see ganondorf charging on that badass horse we never see again and that bit lasts like .. 5 seconds? and he just ... somehow ends up in that cave so far below the earth with the other sages? HOW did he even get there

the constructs you find in the game can be pretty tanky and packing quite a punch, theres auto-targeting mini tanks, lasers and fire/electric/ice throwers, bombs and otherwise explosives, couldnt they have easily fought against some bokblins even if they were miasmafied

or am i supposed to believe ganondorf became THAT strong just through that little magic pebble (isnt that a little insulting too?), while all the other stone having people are so much more inferior AND have gans bossfight not be that hard is kinda ... weird? i know link is special an all, but he doesnt have a stone and the sages dont really add to his powerlevel, the msot they do is distract gans little clones for a bit

doesnt that, and how irrelevant the whole sonau tech actually is to the plot, feel even more like its a thing put in there just to showcase that they could do it (like ... a tech demo) and like its an unfitting sandbox element just for some very dedicated players to build entire war maschines for viral videos out of but the vast majority will not have that kind of patience nor fun with that (i for one do not care to laser explode or otherwise terrorize little enemy camps with otherwise overly ridiculous weapons bc its not fun and really not worth the effort to me)

[whippedcloudsofcream]

Cate is seriously staring to annoy me. How do you obviously know the US military is shady and violent, but still blame Godzilla for the G-Day disaster?

[yanderemommabean]

so like . i see this blog is a safe haven for people who fucks beasts and whatnot.

hear me out ma, Godzilla.

thats it thank you for giving me your attention. Possibly give us hcs?

While he is massive, if you managed to catch his attention, he would be as gentle as he could. I do like to think he'd accidentally destroy nearby buildings when excited to see you, so maybe you'd have to have a large nest a few islands away for your safety and the publics! He'd like to bring you prey he'd caught, and maybe even roast it for you if he's confident he wont hurt you in the process. You're just so small! and he likes you so much! Oh he'd go on such a rampage if you got injured!

Doesn't like when other scientists come over. Sure yeah explain what you want but to him they're all just vile, annoying pests who need to just jot down their little notes and LEAVE.

Jobs dont make too much sense to him either. He always just eats when he's hungry, sleeps when he's tired, and so on. But you explain that you can't do that at all and he just considers breaking apart even more cities, because that's less cruel than capitalism.

Likes to show you shiny things but since he's, you know, MASSIVE, said shiny things are usually cars, building pieces, large rocks, and sometimes planes.

Tries his best to make the nest comfortable, but he isn't used to warm blooded creatures so he never knows when you're too cold or too hot, so one half is all fabrics and bedding and blankets and the other is nice cool rocks and industrial fans (you do the electrical work sadly but, it cant be helped, as he's a GIANT LIZZARD. Dont be mean!)

"OPPA..."

Non idol jk x fem reader

Warnings: a little public indecency, a little honesty, and a little person.

...

You allow the summer sun to sink into your skin as you have your head leaned back and eyes closed. The man sat next to you on the picnic blanket he got from his grandma can't help but find the sight of your relax face and exposed neck pleasing. If he wasn't your man you'd call the cops on him for being a creep.

"I can literally feel you staring kook" you say breaking away from your previous position to look at him.

"Good" he says simply. He's still eyeing you like it's the first time he's seeing you.

You switch your legs to get into a more comfortable position for your legs. Your skirt hikes up a bit and like a bunny he's fast to get another little blanket to cover your legs. You chuckle at that little action.

You embrace the little blanket and pull it to where you're comfortable.

"It's nice to be out with you" he says softly moving closer to you like he wasn't close enough already.

"Yeah it's nice to be out and just chill together" you lean into his embrace. You and jungkook try your best to keep your interactions in public spaces PG, so only minimal touching and little kisses float between the two of you. But jungkook could only hold himself for so long, until he was tickling your neck with kisses and licks.

"Jungkook" you call put warning him. "In public remember?"

The little place where you were sat was a little enclosed cause of the large trees but it still didn't mean you weren't in public and the group of school goers weren't in your direct contact if you tilted your head to see past the tree. Plus they could probably hear your giggles that jungkook didn't want to stop hearing.

He still had his mouth on your neck not heeding your warnings.

"Jungkook" you call out and he hums against your neck making you feel like letting out the moan you've been holding.

"A baby jungkook" you say like you've just seen godzilla, you place your hands on his chest to maybe let him know he should wait for home but he takes it as encouragement instead. He kissed you more.

"Jungkook a baby"

He chuckles.

"Y/n, darling. I thought you were the one who didn't do PDA"  he smiles. "And you want me to put a baby in you here? new hair colour, new era?" He mocks your little statement from when you showed him your new hair colour.

You literally want to smack him right now.

"But are you serious about the baby thing? Cause I can-"

"That's not what I mea-"

"Oppa" jungkook quickly pulls away from you and snaps his head when he hears the little sweet voice coo from behind him. When he turns, his eyes widen when he sees the little baby girl, who's probably half a quarter of his height or shorter. She's in a little cute red dress with her little cute back pack and a packet of snacks in her hands.

Jungkook pleads with everything in him that she didn't see what he was just doing and scarred her for life. This was probably the baby you were meaning. 

He turns his head to ask you with his eyes.

"I told you there was a baby"

"You could've been more specific"

Yeah you could've been but seeing the embarrassed and panicked look on his face you're glad you didn't.

"Oppa can you open this for me" she asked and your heart could melt form her cuteness. You smile at her cute chubby cheeks you just want to pinch them, she seems a little nervous though switching her gaze from jungkook to you. She looks like she was having a little trouble choosing who to ask but she landed with jungkook who was closer. Her voice stammered a bit speaking to him but you dont blame her, jungkook looked intimidating with his tattoos and piercing but he's the cutest and softest person when you speak to him.

And you watch him grow even softer as he speaks to her.

"Uhh yeah sure" he grabs the packet she handed him.

"What's your name" you ask her leaning forward from were you were, trying to find a place in the conversation.

"Si-eun imnida" she speaks proud of her name and seemingly growing comfortable.

"Awwww, a pretty name for a pretty girl" you coo back.

"Isn't she cute jungkook" you turn to face the man who was struggling a but but finally got it.

"Yeah she is" he hands her back her snack "Where's eomma si-eun" he asks as she clasps the bags with her tiny hands.

"Eomma?" She starts to look around and you both follow her gaze not able to find or seeing anyone.

"Convenience store, she's in the Convenience store"

You hum knowing there is a Convenience store near by.

"We should take you to eomma" he coos at her.

"She's so cute" you say moving closer to her to fix her falling bag strap "this bag is big for you si-eun" you say trying to adjust the straps and she allows you to, she watches your hands move.

"Eomma said this bag is for big girls" she releases a little giggle after. You chuckle back.

"Eomma is right, it is for big girl and you are one."

"Especially if you came here by yourself" jungkook adds.

"Yeah" you and jungkook laugh.

Jungkook watches you handle the little straps and straighten her clothes and he can't help but think about when you both do decide to have a child and how you'd be a good mom. But little does he know that you're thinking about how he'd be good dad too.

You watch her assuming her mom is getting some errands done and so you keep her company.

"Oppa what are those?" She points with her snack dust covered fingers to jungkook's arm "appa has them too" she informs.

"Oh these?" He moves his already short sleeve upwards "these are tattoos si-eun" he says her name with so much care and softness.

"But you oppa have more than appa" she informs once more "appa only has three" she lifts up her three fingers.

"Ohh is that so?" He smiles at her.

"But appa doesn't look good in them"

You and jungkook let out a cackle as si-eun talks about her dad.

While still laughing he speaks "how about me do I look good in them?" It's funny how he's seeking validation from a little girl, but everyone knows that little kids are always honest so her answer is vital.

She tilts her head a bit analysing jungkook's arm and face. He flexes his arm and brings his arm into her focus so she can get a clear view.

You laugh at jungkook's obvious need of validation from her.

"Uhhh" she thinks "you look nice" she says simply but he doesn't seem satisfied.

"Only nice?" He tries to bargain a better answer. "Mm?" He bargains.

"Actually oppa you look handsome with them" jungkook finally gets the answer he wanted.

"Ah you see baby even she agrees" you roll your eyes, he's saying it like you've ever told him he doesn't look hot with the tattoos.

"I should get you some sweets for that si-eun" he chuckles.

"But oppa-" She interjects his blushing.

"Mm?"

"But oppa I don't like that" she stretches her hand pointing to his lip where he's lip ring sat.

"This?" He plays with it with his tongue. She nods.

"Si-eun you don't think oppa looks cute with the lip ring?" You ask almost in a laugh.

She shakes her head showing her detest for the silver. You turn to jungkook and laugh. You thought he looked hot with that lip ring, you liked it a lot especially when you kissed.

"You hear that oppa?" You say chuckling and calling him oppa to mock him.

"She's a kid she probably doesn't understand.  She'll end up getting one when  she's older" he tries to save some of his proud.

You laugh and he knows you're gonna be making fun of him later, so he needs he's own ammo.

"How about unnie si-eun? what do you think of her hair?"

Si-eun turns to face you and you cuss jungkook in your head, cause if she says anything to make you regret getting yiur her coloured you're gonna have to call your hairstylist. It's funny how her opinions matter to the both of you.

You watch her analyse and think of an answer and you're so nervous for her answer.

"Unnie looks very pretty with her hair"

You rejoice at her answer and jungkook scoffs, he did think you looked great but he needed ammo too.

"Ahhh si-eun you're the best, I'll ask your eomma if you can colour you hair like mine too. Do you want hair like me si-eun"

She nods "eomma said I can get my hair coloured one day"

"Oh? Then I'll take you to unnie sana so she can do your hair like mine too"

"Ahhh unnie you're the best" she squeals happy at your offer. You smile at  this little 5-year old girl who you just met and are making plans with.

"We'll have a girls day with your eomma too"

You hear Jungkook scoff and you can't help but laugh.

"You're so salty"

"I'm not" Oh but he is "lets go find your eomma, si-eun" jungkook says.

You've spent quite some time talking to her and you bet her mom is probably worried.

Before jungkook can stand her little hand stretches out to hand him a lollipop.

"Oh is this for me" he says touched.

"No, open it" She says with so much attitude that you can't help but laugh at jungkook.

"Oh okay" he says laughing at himself too and opens the lollipop for her "here you go si-eun" she takes it.

You and jungkook stare at each, smiling at each over the situation.

"Oppa here"

She says in her cute voice and stretches her hand and hands him a lollipop.

"Do you want me to open this too" he asks to be sure and protect his feelings.

"It's yours"

"Thank you"

"And this one's for you unnie"  she hands you your own lollipop and you take it.

"Baby, do we have some chocolates?" you ask jungkook.

"Yeah in the bag"

So you reach and search in the bag and pull out a chocolate bar.

"Babe that's a rum flavoured one get the tiny ones" he warns.

"Oh my bad" you laugh you didn't even notice. So you grab the little ones you found and gave her two.

"Thank you" she says with a cute smile.

"You're welcome"

"Si-eun-ah" you hear a woman's voice announce and you watch as a middle aged woman comes to where you're sat.

"Si-eun-ah why did you go so far? I told you to stand by the tree" the woman picks her up and puts her on her hip.

"Eomma! Unnie and oppa gave me a chocolate" she exclaims to her now relaxed mom who notices the chocolates.

"Oh really did you say thank you" si-eun nods. "Did she?"

Her mother turns to you.

"Yes she did" you give her a smile which she returns.

"Thank you for staying with her, I got a bit worried when she wasn't were I told her to be."

"Ahhh,  it wasn't a problem. We enjoyed staying with her" jungkook says

"Hope she didn't say anything weird"

"No she didn't" you smile.

"Eomma" she calls to her mom "I told oppa I don't like his lip earring" she says amused and jungkook lowers his head laughing at the situation and name.

"Omo, si-eun-ah" she exclaims feeling embarrassed for her daughter's forwardness and turns to jungkook "I'm so sorry for that"

Jungkook waves his hands "no need to apologise its alright."

Her mother nods appreciating his understanding.

"Lets go si-eun and meet appa" she turns to you guys now. "Thank you, it was nice meeting you hope you have a good day."

You guys say your goodbyes.

"Bye bye" si-eun yells and from a distance you can hear her tell her mom about jungkook's tattoos.

"Lets go home now..." jungkook pulls you out of your thoughts.

"Yeah"

"...and go make our own si-eun"

You chuckle at that.

"You can't be serious" you start packing the things.

"Oh I'm serious" you've talked about having kids someday but you both know it wasn't anytime soon.

"But first we have to get rid of that lip ring, advice from si-eun" you joke

"She's a kid she doesn't know what she's talking about" you laugh at him and how he's still clearly wounded.

"You're so wounded"

Im not seeing alot of posts on here about this, but i have on youtube sooo...

Doctor Skipper, Nerdstagic, Cinema Sins, Rotten tomato critics, other movie critics and youtube movie reveiwers have ruined media literacy by their need for money.

All they do is sit around and hypercritic movies that they know jack shit about while pretending they do, some of them havent even watched the movie, they just want attention and to ruin the movie for its fandom and its chance in the box office.

Doctor Skipper and Nerdstagic have both made videos shitting on the Monsterverse and American Godzilla in general because Godzilla Minus One was "better". Yeah, the movie was awesome! And it deserves all the attention and The Oscar it got. But GxK: The New Empire isnt even out yet, stop bullying it, telling people something is going to be trash before they see it, means theyre going to view it as trash through the lense of your opinion.

Godzilla Minus One and GxK: The New Empire dont compare, they are two separate genres. Godzilla is allowed to be goofy or serious. There is no right or wrong Godzilla. If you like goofy, good for you! If you like serious, good for you! People are allowed to enjoy the two genres separately or together. I love both! But critics dont look at the fact that in the og showa era made by ToHo, it was goofy as hell, he was doing dances and flying using his breath.

The directors of both movies support each other and love each other's work.

Yes, all the shitty sequel cash grabs we've been getting are awful. But Godzilla isn't that,.... yet. If we keep getting divided on these issues and only viewing them to trash and meme, that spreads negative interest, but more profits. More profits means theyre gonna do it again. Boycott movies you know you wont like, but leave other people alone about it, and especially don't make videos without researching the subject or even watching the movies. Just like some of the recent Marvel movies and shows, if we let it turn into a cash grab, our fandom will inevitably die. Like the posters and trailers for GxK- "Rise together or fall alone".

Sidenote: theres nothing funny about the Lucky Dragon Incident.

Sidenote 2: Please stop spoiling GxK

Edit Sidenote 3: stop using ai for your clickbait thumbnails for your edits of GxK trailers

Favourite colour: deep purples and reds :]

Last book I read: uhm Uh Oh. if manga counts then i have been working my way through 'I'm in love with the vilainess'. if they dont then im so sorry but i havent read a book that wasnt like a cooking book or textbook for Years LMAO

Last Movie: 'Godzilla vs Hedorah'! this movie was really divisive, and i have kind of complex thoughts on it, but otherwise i really enjoyed it!. i think its great when directors lean into weirder experimental shit when it comes to kaiju movies, and i hope that later movies keep more of the stuff i liked from hedorah!

Last TV Show: LOST (2004). i have been working my way through it with some friends in call! we just finished season 2 and i feel like my brain is going to explode

Last Google search: "elden ring faith weapons"

Sweet, savoury, or spicy: i am such a sweet tooth, but i also love spicy ^_^

Looking forward to: recording my bass guitar for an assignment later today, making more of that veggie stir fry i made last night, elena dropping to SF6 and venom dropping to GGST, eating the canned peaches that i bought yesterday

Tagging: @sweetberry-roebuck @summertime-shadow-muffins @pupsnacks & @abandonware-prophet !!! also if you see this you can play this toys even if i didnt tag you (you can pretend i did ^_^)

[ganondoodle]

so guess what they released more interviews and i think given what a writing shitshow totk was and what they have been saying in all these interviews is actually painting a really bad picture; i dont have the time, nor the energy to go over every detail

but they were commenting on people wanting the more linear format back and aonuma himself basically said that he thinks people who feel like that do so only bc of nostalgia and "Why do you want to go back to a type of game where you're more limited or more restricted in the types of things or ways you can play?"

what .. the fuck, more freedom DOESNT automatically mean better??? like ... restriction can be a GOOD thing just as tooo much freedom can be BAD?? like in totk??? are you fukcing shitting me- what the hell are games even for then, has he had an awakening to the fact that he actually just loves sandbox games without realizing it???? im not playing fucking zelda for a sandbox, especially not when its advertised as a somethign else

its pretty clear that they want to keep this format going with everything they say there, ... maybe it really is over huh

also i hate how they kept talking around answering anything about story/lore; they go asked how ganondorf even connects to ganon since theres nothign about it in game, and all they got out was welllll we dont wanna say anything bc its up to the player; about every question you got the answer of "make somethign up yourself" which is just ... its really clear they dont actually care but dont want to say everything is meaningless actually, so they try to be vague about it and with doing that really just confirm they didnt think about it and they dont care- so no lore actually matters, nothing thats been said or established has any meaning bc they will get rid of it the second it crosses paths with their new -more freedom equals better- philosophy, they say its bc they want you to be "free" to think up anything but apparently dont realize that when there are no rules, no consistent lore or anything that it ROBS it, it stops having meaning, its fun to connect dots only when there are rules you need to work with and dots to connect in the first place, when you have an established world with its restrictions it drives you to think more creatively about things- but when there are no rules?? its fucking boring!! thats what it is!!

when you discard all rules i wont care to get invested into anything bc i know it will not be considered again, be done away with without any reason and wont have influence on coming or previous games ... bc there are no rules, anything is possible and everything can be changed any second, so nothing matters

(they also talked about the many viral videos of those very few dedicated people that make godzilla mechs in totk and how happy they are about that- i get that to some extent, but the way they kept talkign about it really just felt like it confirmed my suspicion that that whole mechanic was mainly implemented to let people do that since that gets shared around en masse making it seem like that is why people enjoy it while neither the game nor the narrative are build around it in any way ..)

it just makes all the time i spend thinking, feeling and theorizing about zelda like a true waste of time, bc nothing matters and there are no rules-

i am someone who greatly enjoys working with and around established lore/rules, its fun to me to recontextulize things by being smart or creative with it all without breaking anything or as little as possible of the established things!

if i wanted to do just do anything i want I COULD HAVE ALREADY DONE THAT bc theres nothing actually stopping anyone to just make up what they want! i DONT need canon to lose all rules for that??!!

maybe ill have to make myself believe the franchise ended with botw on a good note ... ono

Emprex's 10 Favorite Film Directors unranked

So I thought about this list a lot ,and these are the 10 directors that I have to say are favorites

Ishiro Honda -Truly an underrated director ,a maestro of science fiction filmmaking .Whatever project he was doing,and no matter what big creature he brought to the screen,I feel Honda never forgets the human side :My reccomendation to those getting into his filmography is Mothra vs Godzilla ,while my favorite is Mothra

David Lynch -He made 10 movies,Ive seen 5 and love those 5.Known for favoring the abstract ,I follow the emotions of his work,and am intrigued by his mix of earnestness and darkness underneath .My reccomended starter film is Elephant Man ,favorite is Blue Velvet

Coen Brothers -I need delve back into these guys cause I love their work .I love their dark humor ,their use of actors (They really know how to use John Goodman affectively ) and mix of the mundane and the violent .My reccomeded starter film is Oh Brother Where Art Thou ,my favorite is True Grit

Alfred Hitchcock-Problematic favorite,I dont like him as a person but as a filmmaker,if a Hitchcock film is on I am probabbly going to watch it .I prefer his smaller films to his bigger films ,the smaller murder stories to large wronged man specticals .Good Starter is Rope ,favorite is Psycho

Sidney Lumet -Always solid ,I think his strength is navigating ensambles and making it where if you are stuck in a certain location you never FEEL stuck or uses that claustrophobia to his advantage .Reccomendation is 12 Angry Men while my favorite is Murder on the Orient Express

Mel Brooks :What I love about Mel Brooks's comedy is there is both a love for and understanding of whatever hes making fun of.The filmmaking is authentic which makes when something rediculous happens even funnier . Roccomend Spaceballs as a starter ,but my favorite is the Producers

Steven Spielberg-I mean this guy has one of the most versetile filmographies of any filmmaker.Now with a filmography spanning 50 years there are a lot of hits and misses ,and I am more familiar with his crowd pleasers then his more dramtic work ,that said he knows HOW TO MAKE A CROWD PLEASER ! Reccomendation I would say Duel ,and favorite is ET

Guillermo Del Toro:Known for his loves of monsters ,tales of outcasts and casting Doug Jones and Ron Perlman a lot , Ive seen most of his films which are both intelligent and visually splendid .I find it funny some call him a horror director cause hes not ,I guess his films are horror adjacent but its more,hes a monster director ,using monsters to tell love stories ,super hero tales ,and fairy tales with backdrops of the horrors of fascism .Now my reccomendation for a starter has to be Hellboy ,favorite is a bit harder so I'll go with Pinocchio

John Carpenter -While known mostly for horror ,I view Carpenter as just a great genre filmmaker in general ,his films have a definitive feel though,you always know when your watching Carpenter but he is pretty good at whatever topic hes handlingbe it action ,comedy,romance ,satirical sci fi ,martial arts fantasy and especially all consuming horror .Reccomendation is Halloween,favorite is Big Trouble in Little China

John Musker and Ron Clements:I wanted to have some animation representation ,and I frankly think this duo are the best while weirdly being underrated ,with some of the best films by Disney animation ,being directed by this duo .Reccomendated starter has to be Little Mermaid ,but my favorite is the Great Mouse Detective

So what are you guys thoughts of my director choices ?Are any of these surprising?

My hot take:

“Clone force 99, an experimental operations unit with desirable mutations.” - Commander Cody

“Your loyalty will be your downfall.” -Dr. Royce Hemlock

IF you didn’t realize Hemlock, those desirable mutations outmatched your special CX soldier creations, EVEN WHEN THEY WERE LIKE 90% OUT OF CONSCIOUSNESS What does that say about the Clone Force 99 Unit and those CX Clones?

“F*ck around and find out.” is what it says to me!

Don’t get me wrong, those agents put up quite the fight with the Batch, but in the end… The big brothers got their child back and those clones were laid to waste!

Wrecker was laying the law down with his brute strength and Echo was using every trick he could to be stealthy. Crosshair- even HANDLESS and drugged still had it in him to fight and aim just as well as he did,

Don’t even get me started on Hunter- the man was probably experiencing the worst migraine of his life and an intense sensory overload, he was blurrily blinded and HE S T I L L managed to THROW and STAB the CX clone in the chest, AT his heart mind you, DEAD ON! Also, final stand with Hemlock? Hunter wasn’t having it. HE LAID IT ON HIM. The second the opportunity was given, obviously Crosshair hit the shackles to spare freedom, but Hunter didn’t just fire on him- no no no- he LIT HIM UP in Blaster Fire, HE FILLED HIM WITH HOLES. Before Hemlock fell over, he was C O V E R E D in 7 TOTAL SHOTS. I COUNTED. For a blaster? It takes about 1 shot to kill an unarmored/armored person (example: Fives or Nala-se) Hemlock was plenty dead before falling but Hunter didn’t give two flying mynocks about it.

Also? Crosshair losing his hand isn’t actually upsetting to me. DONT GET ME WRONG, I screamed when it got chopped off because that’s one more thing that boy has to remember for the rest of his life. TO ME: it was more his sight and his body’s balance and steadiness, than his ability to wield a trigger finger, the man can still hit a target without his hand, we clearly see that when he’s in the hanger and shooting bullseyes everywhere and even afterwards when he was propped on Hunter’s shoulder and successfully hits the cuffs between Hemlock and Omega. Crosshair was wobbly the entire time he chased after CX-2’s ship, he never had stability, it wasn’t just his hand and when he runs, he gives himself stability. His shaking hand was never stable.

Wrecker constantly grunting had me thinking he was just gonna plop to the ground and never wake up, but when omega freed him, his papa-bear clicked and he went into BEAST MODE. Let’s also appreciate that one clone gentleman that shot those last two bolts at the Sword-CX to save Echo’s hide.

Omega’s entire career with the bad batch lead her to the biggest escape plot of the century (ITS NEXT TO ANDOR’S ONE WAY OUT) like that child kept those kids so calm, and herself, and even set free a giant Godzilla beast into the wild to thrive. She said “no more slaves!” And meant it. Emerie taking the kids to Pabu has my respect and shall remain on my good side.

[timefospookies]

I think no one in the Agency is really that big on movies except Jun’ichirō and by extension Naomi. And by big on movies, I mean like BIG on movies. Like, knowing-the-directors-actors-and-elements-of-every-movie-ever-by-heart big on movies.

Cuz to me, the moment Jun’i developed his ability his first thought was: “OMG JUST LIKE THE MATRIX”

Now, Dazai and Yosano have seen their fair share (as in, whatever’s in theaters that sounds interesting) and Kyōka probably watched movies with her parents, but the other members?

Kunikida has never watched a movie in his life(/hj), Kenji doesn’t watch movies period, Ranpo doesn’t find a lot of them particularly interesting, and Atsushi probably grew up with zero TV access.

Fukuzawa is a maybe watches movies for time to time, but he strikes me more as a theater/opera guy.

So anyway, I imagine one day Atsushi and Jun’i are on an assassination case that takes a seemingly supernatural turn and Jun’i is like “omg this is just like men in black lol”

And obviously Atsushi was like “…what’s men in black” and Jun’i is like “oh it’s this american movie where yadda yadda yadda” and he gets why Atsushi didn’t know it cuz it’s foreign and Atsushi never watched movies anyway (he gets a best friend pass) and the rest of the case he talked to him abt movies

By the time he gets to the Agency he’s still talking (I think he’d be really into action, drama, and romance movies) and anyway Kunikida overhears and is like

“What are you two talking about?”

“Oh, I’m telling Atsushi abt Star Wars!”

“..What’s Star Wars?”

“YOU DONT KNOW STAR WARS?!”

And of course Kunikida doesn’t know Star Wars (despite its extreme popularity in Japan back in the day) cuz he’s Kunikida, but when Jun’i consults the rest of the Agency, half of them hadn’t even HEARD of it (admirable feat) and you could hear his heart shatter in real time. Then he starts interrogating everyone about ever film he can come up with and eventually Naomi joins in and they’re like

Naomi: “You’ve never seen Shall We Dance?!”

Jun’i: “What about Dead or Alive?! From 1999?!”

Dazai: “We’re you two even alive in 1999..?“

Kunikida: “Of course they were, idiot, they’re not babies!”

Naomi: “Dr. Yosano, what about Perfect Blue?”

Jun’i: “Please tell me you guys have at least heard of the Godzilla series?!”

Naomi: “Silence of the Lambs? The Ring??”

All: …

Kong: *dying*

Jia: papa! Please dont die. Please! *turns to mothra* PLEASE! HELP HIM! YOU CAN HEAL HIM!

Mothra: oh, oh my sweet child...

Kong: its okay, jia. You are. Safe now. Dont waste your. Life. Be. Happy

@gorillageek27 I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN BECAUSE OF THIS

TW: ANGST, DEATH

Kong: *peacefully dies*

Jia, horror: *signing* Mothra, please he's-

Mothra, bows her head in guilt: I'm sorry, my child, he has lived forever in our hearts...

Jia: *sobbing quietly* I LOVE YOU, DAD.

Ilene/Mothra: *comforts her*

Suko, in tears: Rest in Peace, Dad...

Shimo and the Great Apes gathered together for a funeral. Kong's body was placed on a giant stone slab. Suko clutched Kong's axe, sighing shakily as he looked his father's body inside, trying so hard not to cry. Many mourned over their great leader who had given them freedom. Shimo was saddened by this, for Kong had given her a respect and kindness after horrible pasts she had been controlled. Boots also cried a lot. Jia cannot accept this even though he is dead, and Ilene knew this is the road of Kong's history. Plus, Mothra was there as well as Godzilla (you can say he is also in fact guilt and tries his best to reciprocate all his hardships and trust to his former enemy turned ally). The Iwi Queen and her people of Malenka joined there as well, all mourning of Kong's death, and also understanding Jia's deep bond with him from the surface and his deeds.

In one final look, he is now gone.

All of the Great Apes gathered together to each marked Kong's burial place, with Jia, Ilene, Suko, and Shimo are the last of themselves, then followed by the King and Queen of the Monsters.

All of the Great Apes presumed that Suko is the new Leader who will guide them just like Kong did after they gained freedom from tyranny and fear.

After saying a few words over how strong Kong was and his story, they all departed themselves separately.

Jia had remembered what Kong told her that wherever they go, they will always be each other. It ached her heart a lot, knowing that Kong will have his eternal life of where his soul was.

I'll stay strong, Dad, she vowed silently, I hope you will be with your loving family as well.

Kong, the King of Skull Island and the Ruler of the Hollow Earth, is gone.

But his story shall be passed through every ape generations and through human history.

Or so they thought...
