[narumi-gens]

How would narumi react if chaos couple girlfriends ex would show up?

narumi gen x f!reader

part of the Agents of Chaos series

"Hey, who's that guy?"

Narumi hisses the question in your ear so suddenly that he can tell it takes you by surprise. You were in the middle of zoning out beside him and you probably assumed he was doing the same.

After all, the stuffy occasion that both you and the rest of the First Division have been forced to participate in – a tour of the Ariake Maritime Base by one of the higher-ups from within the Ministry of Defense – is the exact kind of thing that Narumi tries his hardest to avoid. Unfortunately, Hasegawa is holding both his BS5 and handheld console hostage, with his attendance and good behavior at this entirely pointless affair a condition of their safe return.

"What guy?" you reply, daring to slip your phone from your pocket only for him to snatch it and slide it into his pocket. He can't give Hasegawa any reason to harm his most beloved possessions.

"That guy who won't stop staring at you," he says, nodding at one of the official's aides whose eyes have been glued to you since the party arrived.

You frown in confusion before looking where directed. When you meet his gaze, the man's face turns bright red before he drops his head down and begins to flip through the folder in his hands.

"Oh, we used to fuck," you shrug.

"What?!" he shrieks and suddenly everyone's attention is on him.

Hasegawa quickly attempts to correct the situation, pointing out the base's freshly renovated training grounds in the distance while the three members of the Defense Force's PR team – who insisted on being there – seamlessly step in front of you and Narumi to hide you both from view.

"Calm down. I'm not still fucking him," you snort. Hasegawa's voice suddenly becomes louder as he describes the newly paved track.

You close your eyes and point your face up at the sky, relishing the sunshine on your skin. His gaze darts back and forth between you and your ex, who's returned to nervously looking at you. He glances at Narumi every so often, but never with any serious concern, which Narumi almost finds more offensive.

"Why'd you break up?" he asks as he examines the man from afar.

"He was boring," you tell him simply and there's an unexpected sense of relief that rushes through his body.

"Boring?" he repeats, a grin slowly tugging at the corner of his lips.

"Soooo boring," you nod and you tilt your head towards him, peeking open a mischievous eye with a smirk of your own that makes his heart flutter.

"I've got an idea."

One of the PR members glances back at him with deep worry on their poor face, but Narumi pays them no mind. He's too focused on how brightly your eyes are now shining.

He tosses an arm over your shoulders and moves out from behind the three-person PR wall. He can hear one of them muttering about how their careers are over, but it goes in one ear and out the other.

"Sir!" he shouts, interrupting Hasegawa who simply sighs and slaps a resigned palm to the top of his bald head, which is shining brilliantly under the sun. The official and his group of staffers, including your ex, look at him – and you still under his arm – as you both approach.

"We could keep going and show you the training grounds and the offices and the weapons storage, but what if we liven this tour up?" he suggests and he can instantly tell he's piqued the older man's interest. "Why don't we do a live neutralization exercise for you and your...assistants?"

The official's expression lights up with excitement at the prospect, but Narumi barely sees it. His focus is entirely on the uncomfortable-looking man standing slightly behind him.

"What a fantastic idea, Captain Narumi!" he easily agrees and Narumi smirks.

"I'll relay the command for the officers to prepare themselves," Hasegawa says, trying to restore a semblance of order, but he quickly shakes his head to stop his Vice-Captain.

"No need. As Japan's Strongest Anti-Kaiju Combatant and the Captain of the Defense Force's strongest division, I can solo the exercise," he assures them. His focus remains trained directly on your ex, who has long since dropped his gaze down to the ground. "Hasegawa, you can set them up in the best seat in the house – in the Operation Room right next to our Head of Operations here."

Your ex's head shoots up to look at Narumi with wide eyes, in clear disbelief that he would have to suffer through the display of Narumi's strength while sitting right next to you.

Hasegawa and the PR team members begin to corral the visitors away towards the Operation Room, but your ex seems rooted in place. In response, Narumi childishly sticks his tongue out to the sound of your laughter.

[pricegouge]

how we feel about call of duty kaiju horror?

(I’m watching a Godzilla movie tonight so✨)

-🫀

it's the fact that you knew exactly what you were doing with each keystroke that's killing me here

vibrating at a speed imperceptible to the human eye: i feel pretty normal about it.

okay i'm at a low point mental-health-slash-hope-in-the-world wise rn which means ofc i've been thinking about my sweet baby puppy, godzilla, a lot recently. just something about a larger than life monster of our own making come to visit hell upon us that's rather apt, you know?

so originally i was just gonna ramble about that as a response to this - and how easily you could plug an elite squad of soldiers into that formula, make them the focus as they fight back against the kaiju. do it kinda like shin godzilla, maybe, where it's more a procedural than anything to highlight the incompetence of their orders - the us versus them, versus it; where the pieces are government/military officials, civilians, and of course the kaiju. and then bring it back around to what they have to resort to to actually get the job done. trusting the people most effected by the actions of their overhead, and all that. which i'm super into, but knew wouldn't necessarily have made for a good fic. and then beloved @stellewriites did what she does best and seduced me into writing a little snippet after suggesting the focus be more on the after-effects, like a cloverfield situation.

and she was fucking right, but unfortunately that's not what i ended up doing here because i saw kaiju horror and blanked out a bit writing an action scene lmao.

shelling, active fire, hand to hand combat. nothing prepares you for something like this.

hell, even falling out of a hele hadn't been this bad - hadn't instilled within him this fear, just before drop, all kitted out and ready for action. as if anything on their persons could actually defend them from the screeching behemoth below. offense had been unofficially deemed hopeless. not even the stealth bombers had done any good, their blast zones only succeeding in creating more debris, more shrapnel. more rubble to bury the first wave of casualties.

they'd been assured there wouldn't be any more bombing, not while there were boots on the ground trying to minimize the growing death toll, guiding the frantic packs of terrified civilians looking for refuge.

gaz was fairly sure they had told the first deployment the same thing.

it's a struggle not to assess his team, so he doesn't fight it. takes in their expressions as they hang out the open side of the blackhawk, faces underlit by flame and heat. they look grim, worse than he's ever seen them. but cap's voice is still his standard surly growl over the comms when he tells nik to bring them closer to the… thing.

ghost is the only one brave enough to question him. "price?"

"just want a better look," the captain grumbles, as if the scale of it could even allow for some sort of misunderstanding.

"it's a big ass lizard, cap," gaz supplies, unable to hold his tongue as the creature looms closer, nik's steady hand bringing the hele up and over its head, outside of the range of its relatively short arms. "what more do you need to see?"

price eyes him, chill of his gaze turned gunmetal in the thin light. a warning. "don't know enough about it to be fightin' it."

"are we fightin' it then, cap?" soap, borderline hopeful. like he thinks he can save the world with a well-placed sticky bomb, even after everything he's seen.

"you saw what it did in pari -!"

price cuts him off. "might have to. should know more about it."

like it's got an achilles' heel they'll be able to spot while dropping, their flare lights casting a grim red glow over the mountainous mass of plates and scales. they ring it as best they can - a valiant effort to keep their paracords untangled. from each other, from the mess of wires clinging to the skeleton frames still standing. from it. gaz lucks out, manages to draw its head. his flare light casts eerie shadows on the smoke behind it, jagged cuts of spiny bone that reach like fingers skyward, as if to pluck the circling hele from the air like no more than a noisome fly hanging over head. there's a gradual slope across a heavy brow, its face wide-set and surprisingly flat, as if evolution knew it wouldn't be snuffling around in the dirt for food no matter what hellish recesses of the earth it had crawled out of. he sees the teeth first, blanched and deadly in a mouth that gapes slightly, soft pink tissue glinting with drool in the wan, flickering light. the shape of it seems to shift in the smoke, disorienting in its incomprehensibility. gaz tracks the nose - up, in, across -

the eye rolls, a ring of sclera giving it an unexpected humanity. it's beady, the iris the same dark, muddy sort of gray that blends with the rest of its plating. defensive evolutionary traits. against what, gaz did not want to know. it flickers red and orange in the light. alive, wary. a thick nictitating membrane draws back, reveals a depth of color which can't quite hide the pupil - nor the way it dilates, trained on him.

it ducks his head as he falls, assessing just as much as gaz is. he reaches for his gun, automatic, and the ridge of brow above its eyes twitches, lowers. there's a series of pops, loud enough to hear even above the thunder of air in his ears, and then a light flickers to life in its gullet, electric blue and feeble in its infancy.

debrief hadn't mentioned bioluminescence. he decides he does not want to be the first one to find out what that's about.

tipping himself forward, he propels himself faster. his angle widens, brings him around the creature's side a bit, out of its field of view. he follows along its broad flank, dipping past huge, clawed hands which curl as if in disgust as he passes. he pulls his chute somewhere around its hip, tries to plot his land despite his general lack of visibility. he's just settled on a gap in the buildings up ahead when the air stirs, a quick updraft that rocks him where he hangs, sending smoke swirling as something slices through it, maybe twenty meters above the ground. he keeps his eyes peeled for another jumper, cautious about mixed lines even though he should still be well away from soap's position.

but it's not another jumper. he sees it first in the reflection of a busted window, shatter-proof glass left hanging concave in its frame. light catches in it, a sporadic wisp refracting through the crumple points, pulsing with movement. electric blue.

he casts about for its source, finds it off to his right. it slips through the air like a knife, smooth and deadly enough to have him running through a list possible drone types he may have run afoul of. he comes up short, though he wouldn't be surprised to learn they'd resorted to test tech. last thing he needs, though he doesn't start to seriously worry until another one appears, just slightly larger, moving in sync with the first. they arch out and around to his left just as another flickers to light directly before them. again, slightly larger than the last - though maybe a little bit closer to it as well.

the next one is heralded by a quiet humming, low enough he thinks he's imagining things until his feed starts crackling with static. he pulls his cords so he can face it more fully, and the chain of lights whip away from him, circle back behind the creature with enough force to shift the air again, unexpected draft pulling him up, up.

the beast faces him, turned fully with a deadly kind of silence kyle hadn't expected. its mouth hangs agape, faint blue light leaking from between its teeth, painting the surrounding smoke blue until it looks like xenon breath, just as fatal. the aura seems to build around it, and it takes gaz much too long to realize its being backlit, the strange lights gathering behind it until the smoke all around glows blue and white and it bows, sinks to his level with an open maw. the light in its throat crystallizes into a cold white while building in intensity, lock step with the intimidation display climbing over its shoulders, the massive plates there flickering to life, veined with phosphorescence.

he'd be nowhere in life if he hadn't learned to listen - when needed, at least.

suspended as he is, his options are limited. he yanks at cords that do nothing, the air gone so still in the creature's deadly silence that it won't even let him fall. like a vacuum, just waiting for the collapse.

"fuck. shit," he hisses, panic building.

the thing shakes its head, an audible rumble building alongside the deafening hum of static. gaz pulls his emergency release and feels his stomach fall before he does, tumbling away after it with flailing limbs, unable to even right himself into a controlled dive before he's catching his full weight on his shoulder, the composite hull of a hele groaning under his mass before the world tilts sideways once more, flops him onto his stomach where his cheek grinds into dirt and metal runners.

"flare!" a thick accent calls from over head, and kyle has just enough wits about him to recognize that the thick trail of red crawling along the floor of the hele is coming from him. he draws a knee up, hands swatting uselessly at himself in search of the strap that keeps the flare tied to his ankle, smoke filtering through his mask until he's -

it's hard to tell what happens first, the blinding light or the g-force which crashes into the hele from above - pushes it down even as he stays in place, colliding with the ceiling hard enough to knock the remaining wind out of him. alarms erupt all over the dash, the noise of them blotted out by a stillness in his ears, as if they'd been submerged - an immense pressure against his eardrum which stifles even his own pulse.

until it didn't, sound rushing back in a cacophony of sirens and shrieking metal, the creature's roar only drown out by the dull sound of impact and the sudden build of force that follows, glass shattering as buildings shook and crumbled. nik curses, something in russian. flare smoke builds in the cab but it doesn't even matter, not when the debris outside the windshield is so thick nik can't even see the approaching church until he's almost gone through the belfry. he banks right, hard, and gaz has a panicked moment of free fall as the open door he'd already fallen through twice today rolls to meet him and he slips through it once more, fingers barely even managing to catch on the frame before he's falling again, a two story drop into the blessedly bare church courtyard with a winded huff, vision tunneling as he stares up uncomprehendingly at the streak of light that's pierced the sky, the burning after-image of a gale force he simply has no framework for.

when he wakes up, it's to a world on fire.

if anyone is interested in that kinda post apocalyptic world, lmk. i don't wanna do any sort of series here but kaiju are my lifelong hyperfixation so i'm always happy to ramble about this sort of setting :)

10 things for 10 people I'd like to get to know better

tagged by: @elenothar 💋

last song: 陳楚生 Chen Chusheng, 《閃亮的日子》 "Shining Days" from 《雪迷宮》 The First Shot OST. Fun fact: this song will break your fucking heart, thanks @omaenanimonoda for titling your new fic after it. (Originally by 羅大佑 in 1988 I think? hard to figure out)

favorite colour: perennial toss-up between robin's egg blue and violet

last book: Case File Compendium vol. 3 and boy it sure is a danmei

last movie: Pacific Rim which I taught to the film undergrads last week, ONE DAY AFTER humanity defeated the kaiju, sealed the breach and finally stopped the clock. Or, no, wait—the 1963 Jason and the Argonauts, which I taught in mythology two days later

last show: 《猎罪图鉴》 Under the Skin s2. I stalled out on Killer and Healer, watched like five minutes of Petrichor and noped out of it too, there's like 200 dramas I want to watch which means I'll probably rewatch either UTS2 or The First Shot because I'm a sad bitch

sweet/spicy/savory: yes (mango and jicama with lime juice and Tajín)

relationship status: divorced once, dumped many times including 7 years ago by the love of my life. I will die alone and the cat will eat my face which is no less than I deserve, since as hard as I try, I am genuinely awful as a partner or so I am reliably assured; fortunately I love living alone lmao let me try that again, i have a cat! her name is zoë, she's a 3yo torbie, very affectionate and also kind of a disaster who cannot cross a room without knocking something onto the floor

last thing I googled: "galveston temperature" (36ºF/2ºC!)

current obsession: the sheer number of times that Huang Jingyu and Wang Ziqi apparently just have to touch each other when they're on set together, or they'll, like, maybe go into withdrawal of some kind

looking forward to: finishing current wip so I can write a bunch of dumb porn; going to @escapadecon in 2 weeks and seeing many of you beloveds there; getting more sleep and going for more walks; getting to know my new batch of students; the glorious day at some distant point in the future when a tired Youku intern's finger slips and they accidentally upload Justice in the Dark and Winner Is King; getting my hands on vol. 1 of Mo Du this year (please let the cover be pretty, please let the translation be good, please let it all be okay)

evilly tagging: @sunriseverse @hideyseek @woadoverweld @sam-gardener-blog @aadikah @rustnstardust-stuff @qpjianghu @arek-ian @twofunerals @llyfrbryf (but I also hate to pick on y'all so obviously pls ignore at will)—plus anyone else who wants to play 🍿

[freezing-kaiju]

ALRIGHT, IT'S TIME!

THE SECOND RYUKI-AND-BLADE-ACCOMPANYING ANIME POLL IS NOW HERE!!!

SO, MEET YOUR CHALLENGERS!

AJIN Demi-Human

We start with a dark horror and possibly scifi about ethics in science, immortality, and an outlaw fugitive alien plot as a boy finds himself part of a group of immortals declared legally inhuman. While I have some misgivings about Oh No I Was Secretly A Creature All Along plots, I do fucking love horror and there’s a lot of ways for those plots to hit hard in the trans and gay and autism organs and be really important!!!!

Dimension W

The New Tesla Energy Corporation has monopolized the fourth dimension and the coils that connect to it. A duo of bounty hunters, one human and one robot, make money via repossessing illegal coils and seek out the answer to the mysteries within the dimension. I really wanna watch this one for a few reasons, the primary one of which is 'there are multiple fat women'. It seems to have freaks and weirdos and fun times, and its comedy is emphasized more than most of the other ones on this list so it might give some needed levity!

Kyoukai no Kanata

A bumbling monster hunter with blood powers meets an immortal via trying to shank him and ends up in an arrangement where she'll keep trying to kill him to boost her confidence while hunting monsters in what I hope is a monster-of-a-week show that came highly recommended by a friend as her favorite anime, or one of her favorites, so i have high hopes! Script's by the hibike euphonium guy and the power system seems quite interesting!

Air

A puppeteer (if he’s as good as Sakon will remain to be seen) stops his Road Trip To Meet A Golden Sun Jupiter Summon to stay for a bit in a town and, as happens to anyone who stops for too long, gets attached to the place and also meets a girl who might be said jupiteresque being. My friend informs me that it's gorgeous, sounds amazing (so I'll make sure to get clips), and has "nice sad vibes"!!! And it’s…listed in a “provincial horror” listing… hoho

Heike Monogatari

A child who can see ghosts and the future walks tirelessly through the tragedy of the war between the Taira and Minamoto families before the dawn of the first shogunate. It's wildly beloved by a friend of mine, and also centers a historical event i know some but not all about and definitely need to know more about the Taira side of. Seems like a beautiful drama, one I could lose my heart over.

SSSS Gridman

Digital kaiju! Digital hero! Digital amnesia! A monster of the week show about an unknown amnesiac summoning and merging with Hyper Agent Gridman to fight digital, possibly virtual monsters while making friends(?) in the real world! It's the one thing Tsubaraya Productions has that isn't Ultraman, and I expect some tokusatsu vibes from it along with the mecha stuff, i've also heard it has gay girl megatron??

Akudama Drive

It's a prison break and crime story set in a tech dystopia, starring a scene girl shoplifter, and featuring a bevvy of unpersoned convicts in what seems like an excellent ensemble clusterfuck!!! The Danganronpa crew made this thing! It's also beloved by a friend of mine, and I've heard it'll be a generally excellent tragedy of a time

Canaan

A reporter gets saved from assassins by a woman she might do yuri with, and the summaries I’ve found seem to imply a plot about terrorism and mystery! It’s a Type-Moon work that isn't part of the fate, tsukihime, OR melty universes! It might still have magecraft, but it's tagged sci-fi too, and a type moon take on scifi sounds interesting... it’s also based on. *checks wikipedia* a…perfect-Famitsu-score visual novel for the Nintendo Wii. So I might need to dig out some old hardware to watch this thing. For fun’s sake!

Killing Bites

A guy unintentionally becomes the underground wrestling promoter of a ?werewolf? Woman who murders his friends and wins him a shitload of money. The end goal? According to the summary, control of the economy!!! This was recommended as garbage and good lord I need garbage so much good god I need to put some trash inside of me.

[dogs-with-lightsabers]

hi :3 tell me smth abt kits and daggers that you’ve thought of but haven’t gotten a chance to post abt yet. literally anything

seagull my beloved mutual, i have a list in my head at all times that haunts me:

yosuke had the traumatic childhood of all time, which is what led to him changing his surname to kurusu

when he left inaba, he lost contact with the team. everyone misses each other but yosuke is kind of hard to find and he thinks the window is locked up tight

before akira was born, yosuke bought a pair of cat plushies with blue eyes and put his old bandannas on them: an orange one with a blue bandanna that is like visibly old and a tuxedo he put his yellow dancing one on (they still exist, i wonder where?)

i’ve noted ‘The Rifts’ in my sketches but the short is that they’re basically holes in the universe that lead into other universes. yosuke has seen these his entire life but they usually faded or resealed but things would come through them. the first one he went through was when akira was seven just after they moved where a door bit off his leg (the smile room from the trevor henderson universe was my inspiration)

third semester fucking sucks in this universe! sumi broke free for a little bit but she was dragged back under and akechi was forced under the delusion himself, leaving akira on their own. except at the same time they were dragged back in, akira was almost killed by ‘maruki’, edward elric style (impaled, they were impaled) what i do have for third semester includes akira having almost no will to live except for the spite of making killing them as hard as possible

i have posted a preliminary sketch of kaiju joker, but it should be noted that they stand taller than (earth? the anime trilogy) gojira

yosuke is a famous rockstar known as Karasu, which he’s been doing since leaving and that he went full time on a few months before akira was born. he quit that last day job with a real rendition of ‘two minutes notice’ from helluva boss (mental image killed me dw about it) akira’s been helping him since they were about ten

related to above, yosuke streams in his free time! and akira does a lot of game design for their own projects including a ‘planned’ mascot horror game similar to indigo park featuring phantom thief modeled mascots (both of them are obsessed with monster hunter, which is why yosuke almost died laughing when he found amatsu in mh3g a full year after his persona evolved into a similar looking amatsu)

and finisher: most of my original passes had young/teen parent yosuke , eventually moved into making him trans, and then away from the forensic scientist he was originally (the only thing i like about my oldest version, is the fact that these two lived in tokyo but akira was arrested in inaba)

honestly i could probably go on but the brain has been drained gg

(not lying, i have a shelf of about 12 moleskine cahier lined notebooks of mostly smallish size that are completely filled with mostly this au)

Boys reaction to s/o transforming into a kaiju?

Macaw- Well this is... new... he's tempted to run a few tests, the old sciencey part of himself resurfacing, the non IT part.

Lupo- Ponders how s/o will fit in the house now.

Falcon- Kind of freaking out. He doesn't want the humans to take s/o away!

Jackal- Also concerned but also 'YES LET US GO DESTROY!! NYEHAHAHAHAH!'

Jay- Is torn between working with the human authorities, and protecting his beloved.

Fox- S/O protects HIM.

Crow- 👀👀👀

Hound- Sweating, worried about what this coulda been caused by, how s/o's soul is holding up.

Vulture- Takes him a day or two to realize they didn't just 'get a new haircut'.

Hyena- 👀👀👀 also 'LET'S DESTROY THINGS!!'

Robin- 'HOW FUCKING DARE YOU GET EVEN TALLER!!!'

Dingo- Wants to playfight bc now his s/o can't be hurt by him!!

[ifuckinglovedinosaurssomuchjesus]

Just got back from Godzilla X Kong!

First off, just a warning, there are some intense scenes of strobing lights and sound so be prepared if you have epilepsy. Likewise, it is a constant stream of loud sounds and colors with many fast cuts and no room to breath, which means my autistic ass got extremely overstimulated in the IMAX theater and had to cover my eyes and plug my ears at times to calm myself down, so be prepared for that too.

Now, on to my rambly and mildly spoilery first impressions under the cut.

Like I said, this movie has absolutely zero room to breathe. They sliced away every millisecond they could to keep the runtime below two hours and it translates into a film that just not shut up. It's like every scene lasts 30 seconds, even the kaiju battles are so quickly cut that it feels like this gif:

That being said, the actual story when you think about it, before the searing stream of action melts your brain, is very good. It's about how your home is your family, and that's paralleled in both Kong's story and the human story. Jia and her mom are the heart of the film and they've easily become some of my favorite human characters in the Monsterverse.

I'm not sure how to articulate my thoughts the best, so I guess I'll just talk about each of the kaiju and how I felt about them.

Despite getting top billing, Godzilla just straight up does not matter in this movie. It's %100 Kong's story, Godzilla really only matters at the end when he joins up for the big finale fight and even then it kind of feels like Kong had this all handled. In fact, don't kill me, but Godzilla being here just makes the movie worse. Time given to Godzilla takes away time from Kong's story, which as I said feels really rushed. If anything Goji is a fucking asshole, he goes around slaughtering Titans that're just minding their business. What happened to balancing nature? You're going to kill some kaiju peacefully sleeping in the arctic because you want to glow pink now? BTW the power up is completely pointless, he doesn't even seem to do it for any good reason he just felt like a make over I guess.

Kong on the other hand was great, literally just the main character of the movie, he's the one with the most growth and who goes through a character arc. There are some wonderful scenes far away from any humans of just him doing his own thing, having his own adventure. I'm not sure I've ever seen a kaiju movie do that besides, funny enough, the much maligned Son of Godzilla. Kong finds his people, liberates them from a cruel tyrant, and proves himself king of the apes. The scenes of him and Suko bonding are especially strong in my opinion, showing Kong as an ultimately very kind and patient beast with a big heart that he desperately wants to share even with someone who hurt him. By this point, Kong is the most developed kaiju in the series, I love him.

Mothra is in the movie. Yeah, that's about it. Her presence doesn't actually make much sense, the whole "only an Iwi from Skull Island can summon her" meanwhile she just popped out of the ground herself a few years ago to fight Ghidorah. Likewise I was disappointed that she didn't really do anything, she doesn't even have a moment with Godzilla. I thought they were all symbiotically linked and whatnot? Why didn't she join the fight in Rio? Yeah, how about this, cut Godzilla from the movie and have her be the big help at the end. The story spends so much time on summoning her, about as much time as Godzilla goes stomping around, why not have her be the support for the big battle at the end? Also she's straight up magic now, materializing out of thin air, sure. Why not?

Skar King was a fun villain, I can definitely see him becoming a fan favorite. You can kind of tell with the fandom that nobody really cares about the MUTOs or the Mamma Skullcrawler despite being in some of the most beloved Monsterverse films, and that's because they're mostly treated as animals. Ghidorah was the first one really personified and for that he was a wonderful villain that the fandom could latch on to, and Skar King has a lot of moments where his personality shines. Likewise Shimo was great too, a sort of tragic mix of a war mount and a kicked puppy. I'm excited to see how the fandom reacts to her, most of the pre-movie art I've seen makes her out to be this omega asshole but in the film she's arguably nicer that Godzilla.

Yeah, having an hour and a half to calm down, I can say I had a lot of problems with the film. Likewise though, there was also a lot to love. I think I may try to watch it again, on a standard screening next time, to form some more solid thoughts. For now though, I can hope that this movie does well, because even if I'm not the biggest fan I still want to see the Monsterverse continue.

[half-life-enjoyer]

dude i. the scene in maelstrom where newt finally caves and addresses the changes broke me

gotta applaud charlie day on this shit, because. oh my god.

shit was so emotional and so devastating, the way that his breath hitched a bit when he first noticed that little patches on his arm were changing color and you can see pure panic flash across his face for a split second but then he’s immediately back to his normal self?? top notch performance and that shit altered my brain chemistry

BUT HERES THE THING. i’m having so many emotions abt this scene because. OUGH.

newts been keeping this facade of just brushing all the weird changes off and chalking it up to “weird kaiju things” and up until this point in the movie, the viewer has no damn idea if he’s being genuine or not, because while it seems insane for a person to be reacting like this to their blood changing color, it’s newt, he’s already known for being a weird lil guy when it comes to kaiju things so you’re not actually sure if he’s not okay about it and hiding it really convincingly or if he’s just. genuinely fine with it for some reason

but now you can see that it is actually really freaking him out, from when he first stated to bleed blue to his eyes changing color and now to this, you can see that he’s actually scared of it, and it’s genuine terror that he lets himself feel for less than a single second but you can still see it

and his?? his rant??? his rant to hermann about how “no it’s all fine i’m fine its normal when you’re working with so much kaiju genetics and biomaterials it’s just my blood changing color and my eyes glowing and my skin literally fucking peeling off but no it’s alright, im fine, everything is fine”, and you can start to see that facade crack bit by bit as he gets more and more shaky and more and more unstable and goes into this frantic ramble about how he has to keep it together for hermanns sake because he already has too much on him and how he can’t let something as trivial as a kaiju mutation bother him (“what am i gonna do at this point, not mutate???”) and ends up in him in full breakdown mode, shaking, crying, screaming at nearly the top of his lungs how’s “it’s all fine but no, it’s not, it’s actually really scary and i don’t know what’s going on and i can’t explain it in any way and i’m scared that i’m gonna die, hermann, im gonna die without ever becoming a rockstar or-“ and he just collapses into hermanns arms, clinging to him for dear life (VERY SIMILAR TO HOW HE HELD ONTO HIM AFTER HIS FIRST DRIFT WITH THE KAIJU BRAIN) (cinematic parallels my beloved)

i just. sorry for the paragraph but OH MY GOD. that scene shook me to my core, as a newt enjoyer and fellow “guy who will say everything is fine until he has a breakdown”, that was a very powerful scene for me and probably my favorite in the whole movie

a standing ovation for charlie day

Can I still send a pacific rim au prompt?

How about seb and Michael used to pilot together but they had an accident like in the movie.

And now mick is new in the Jaeger program and desperately wants to pilot with seb and see if they’re drift compatible (obviously they are) but seb doesn’t want to cause he doesn’t want mick to get hurt etc. but he doesn’t tell mick that (cause communication issues and guilt)…

Anon my beloved. Anon, this is literally everything I want to write in my next Pacific Rim AU never mind that I had 5 different Pacific Rim AUs already planned. Thank you for this prompt, please let me stew on it and hopefully turn it into an actual story, but here're some thoughts below the cut! Much thanks to @kritischetheologie for sharing her big brain energy on this! It's basically a Pacific Rim AU of our ABO AU. Haha.

Seb thinks he won't ever pilot again after the accident. His heart is so broken, his mind so fractured from when the Kaiju ripped their neural connection in two. He blames himself for not being strong enough. If he could have just been faster, stronger, maybe he could've pulled their Jaeger out of the way.

But the Pan Pacific Defense Corps needs pilots, now more than ever, and Seb's too valuable for them to let go. He's too experienced, too good at what he does. If he can't go back into a suit, at least he can train the recruits.

And then who should he meet, but fucking Mick Schumacher, new to the Jaeger Program.

It nearly makes Seb quit on instinct. God. He should be protecting Michael's kid, not training him to face the very thing that tore Michael away from them. Mark stops him from leaving, says, D'you think you leaving will save them? D'you think you'd serve better use hiding, than teaching these people what you know? Things that might save them? And Seb stays of course, because if there's one thing he can't stand it's the idea that anyone else will go through what he did.

And in the simulator, it's clear as day he's fucking drift compatible with Mick. Like, even more so than he was with Michael. Seb's in a spiral about it. Because, what the fuck is the universe trying to tell him? How is he so closely tied to the both of them in such a way? He's not strong enough to protect Mick, not in his current state. He can't be the downfall of both of them; he'd never forgive himself. Never.

So he refuses to even consider piloting with Mick. Even though all the superiors are like, the two of you could literally step into a suit the next day and make it work. And Mick's, god, Mick's fucking hurt. He doesn't understand why Seb won't even look him in the eye. He's grown to respect Seb so much after all the training. He sees the way Seb spends time with the recruits despite how much pain he seems to battle with. Seb's the kindest, gentlest, strongest soul he's come across. He never once blamed Seb for the accident. But why won't Seb pilot with him?

It comes to a head during a sparring session. Mick throws himself against Seb in a hurt kind of rage. Like, Why don't you trust me? Do you think I won't measure up to my father?

And it's possibly the most cruel blow Seb could have taken, because in all of this the only thing he's been trying to do is to keep Mick safe. He shuts down, doesn't defend. And maybe Mick - accidentally hurts Seb in this match?

And it's awful and they're both in so much pain and the truth comes tumbling out of Seb as he's shaking, partway to tears, and Mick is literally on his knees begging for forgiveness like, I didn't know, I didn't know Seb I'm so sorry--

Yeah that's what I have so far. Head in my hands, as I always say.

How would the Godzilla monsters react to their s/o having a heat during mating season and how do they help them

So we're going to assume one of two things: 1] either the s/o is as big as their beloved, or 2] their beloved is as small as the humans.

We all know what's under the cut:

Ghidorah loves it when you go into heat. He has the highest sex drive out of all the kaiju, so when you come to him, just aching for him to fuck for days on end, in any and all positions, he's there for you. Forwards, backwards, upside down. It's almost whatever you want baby. All the while he's crooning and growling and going on, making sure you understand how lucky he is that he puts up with your heat.

Another Kaiju with a high sex drive, it's Godzilla that mainly comes to you when he needs his proverbial itch scratched. So when your heat comes rolling around, he makes sure to be a little dickish about it and make you come to him. Who can blame him though? He likes to feel wanted every now and then. Godzilla will give you everything you need, even thinking of things you didn't know you needed. All the while making sure he gives you wave after wave of pleasure. After all, what is he if not a giver?

The one with the lowest sex drive on the list, Mothra is quite shocked to find out that you have heat cycle. She's more than willing to help out, though her touch may be a tad bit more gentle than you're wanting. Even so, if you need her to get rough with you, she will, but the she take the tenderest of care for you afterwards. It is in her nature after all.

Rodan is the most excited to learn that you have a heat cycle. While you guys adhere to a regular sexy time schedule, he uses these moments to get extra experimental. Nearly nothing is off limits for him at this time, and hey, if you manage to wrestle him for it, he'll let you be on top.

[cartoonsaint]

Hey sorry but you rbd something about a Pacific rim fic called designations congruent with things a while ago, what is that? Would you recommend it?

oh man, would i. cleanwhiteroom's Designations Congruent With Things is my all-time favorite fanfiction and one of a handful of comfort-stories that i re-read/-consume when i need a pick-me-up. that doesn't make it Perfect, and its ending is not happily-ever-after so much as well-we've-been-terribly-mistreated-and-traumatized-BUT-we-have-each-other-and-the-world-isn't-ending-and-we-have-HOPE, but MAN do i go in for that kind of thing.

that said, it's not for everybody. it's pretty verbose-- the first time i read it i had to stop every paragraph or so to process what i'd actually just read, but every so often i enjoy feeling like i'm in college again and this hits the spot. it deals with rough subjects including governmental overreach, non-consensual medical procedures, and fractured identity, but it handles it very thoughtfully and honestly. the first ten chapters are all pretty much set-up, and then the remaining 19 or so chapters circle around what we do in the aftermath of a decades-long war and the interpersonal issues that crop up between Newt and Hermann.

idk! if you like the PacRim scientists, if you like people reacting to trauma/PTSD and finding each other through it, if you like slow-burn relationships that have all of the commitment before any of the romance, if you like a pair of brilliant idiots in some painful-ironic-hilarious shenanigans, i might say it's worth a read. it's no longer on AO3 but you can find it on the writer's website HERE, as well as a link to a podfic of the first few chapters.

plus, after some 5-6 years cleanwhiteroom dropped a sequel (also available at the above link) that offers more hope, more of the reality of long-term PTSD and health issues, more Hermann-Newt heartfelt hijinx, and a lovely scene about the kaiju that had me SCREAMING (very quietly, bc i don't want my neighbors to call the cops, but also consistently through the whole thing and for a while afterwards bc it was almost exactly what i wanted, eeeee).

the content warnings aren't so robust at first, so i'll elaborate some under the cut (though it will contain spoilers, sorry!)

so it takes place after the first Pacific Rim film but touches on its events, meaning we deal with Newt's experiences with drifting with an alien hivemind, Hermann finding his long-term lab partner seizing, Otachi coming after Newt in the bunker, and the immediate aftermath of the deaths of many of our beloved characters. the first ten chapters deal with these, after which there's a HUGE overreach by the PPDC: they want to make sure that Newt and the still-alive pieces of kaiju brain on Earth aren't still in contact with the Anteverse, so they hook him up to these pieces that KNOW that newt separated him from them, that know he CUT THEM UP in the first place, that want him dead and suffering but are also so lonely and want him to be a part of them... BUT Hermann gets him out and to safety, Newt's health is extremely poor, and they have a lot of mutual identity issues, PTSD, panic attacks, nosebleeds, epileptic seizures, awkward workplace and stranger interactions, minor body modifications, inability to look at oneself in the mirror, and. idk. anxiety about the government coming back to take you again? anxiety about the kaiju coming back? anxiety about what the future looks like, with their pasts, and bitterness that they had to suffer so terribly not just for the good of humanity, but also for some government official to check off a box that says Newton Geiszler Isn't a Threat to Humanity.

big on identity issues, big on part of your brain wanting to Kill You but also being obsessed with you and sort of, in a twisted way, loving you? big on PTSD and trying to care for a fucked up person who isn't caring for themself so well.

yea. yea! idk. it helps me to know the specifics of potentially-triggering things before i read them; if there's something particular you'd like to know about, shoot me an ask and i'll try to help. hopefully i haven't forgotten anything major but also my brain is a sieve.

[creacherkeeper]

AAAAA SAME ANON AND I LOVE UR THOUGHTS ON THIS AU SO MUCH!!!! hskdhdkdbd PLEASE ignore this if u don’t want to talk about this au of course, but honestly i only have more !!!!! about it with every piece of info. like the line about fabian and riz’s jaeger being “unstoppable. almost.” and about how adaine joins the fray specifically bc they’re down and adaine and aelwyn are the only ppl who can fill in their place right now. also how kristen is drift compatible with everyone im!!

NO NO NO IM SO HAPPY TO TALK ABOUT IT!!!! like pacific rim really blessed us by not only being an AMAZING movie but also the best au fodder of all time??? god pacific rim au my beloved <3

some additional stuff because i cant stop:

i think ayda and adaine are totally drift compatible, but never tested together, as ayda only joined the program to pilot with fig

penelope, dayne, and ragh actually triple piloted until fig signed up. everyone thought it was better to separate penelope and dayne because they were ... not always team players when together. but after it came out everything that had been happening between dayne and ragh, that decision was heavily regretted. ragh got ... a lot of counseling after dayne was kicked out. when he was moved to combat trainer, he got a lot happier and became good friends with tracker, who'd been on base long enough to see everything go down

ayda and aelwyn actually knew each other in undergrad. aelwyn became friends with her mostly for strategic purposes, because she was the daughter of the head of the jaeger program and aelwyn wanted to build jaegers. ayda became friends with her because they were both the youngest in the STEM program and she was desperate for someone she could relate to, at least a little. they got along okay but didn't really keep in touch after graduation. they didn't start getting closer until aelwyn became a pilot, because then they COULD actually relate to each other, as scientists-turned-fighters

ayda still found out she was autistic through jawbone, once she finished school and came to base to study kaiju. she opened up to him about how hard it was to relate to her peers, and he was like kiddo youre probably autistic?? like over half of the scientists here are?? and she was like. OH. after everythings over and fig goes back to being a musician, she donates a lot of her touring profits to autistic-led advocacy groups because like. she's literally felt what it's like to live with an autistic brain, and it makes her the biggest ally of all time (and ayda being a very prominent autistic scientist AND pilot actually does like. SO MUCH for autism acceptance. she frequently gives lectures on fig's touring routes)

after they close the breach, fabian gets into a huge blowout fight with bill. cause bill makes his money by selling kaiju parts, so without the kaiju, he doesn't have a job. and by that point fabian has had enough distance and experience that he's like. i would have died for you but i fucking made a name for myself that was better than anything you've ever tried to do, now i get to live for me. and even though he wasn't expecting it, bill actually completely accepts and supports that

yeah so pok actually died cause he got eaten by a kaiju after drifting with one using the pons system he invented. its extremely difficult to hear but riz is also like. that is the most badass thing ive ever fucking heard oh my god (they name the neuroscience program at riz's college after pok. sklonda starts law school there the year after they close the breach)

kristen literally proposes to tracker the day after they close it, barely conscious, with a giant hole in her chest, from her hospital bed. everyone is like. my dude. tracker thinks its extremely romantic

(they end up adopting a bunch of kids who were orphaned because of kaiju attacks)

gorgug goes to college and becomes a high school social studies teacher. zelda runs a local gym. they have an extremely quiet life and are happy to, most of the time, not be noticed or bothered. every once in a while an extremely nerdy kid will recognize gorgug's PARENTS as jaeger mechanics and completely ignore gorgug and zelda thinks its hilarious

after they close the breach, the abernant parents reach out to BOTH aelwyn and adaine to ask them to come back home to visit and be celebrated. and theyre like. mmmm fuck that actually?? but adaine does have a BIT of an existential crisis cause shes like OKAY WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO WITH MY LIFE NOW?? they actually end up getting a little apartment together somewhere and aelwyn pays the bills as an engineer making advanced prosthetics. she encourages adaine to just try out as much as possible, and she takes a ton of classes at the community college, the community center, and at various local businesses. but its actually jawbone who inspires her to go back for another degree and become a psych researcher. she makes waves in the trauma and ptsd field

theyre all pretty happy that kalvaxis, category iv, and nightmare, category v, got blown to hell at the bottom of the ocean
