[i-mean-technically]

something hilarious i'm seeing about Kong and Godzilla, and the ship gong/kongzilla/mothkongzilla is that people are saying that Kong is an old man.

spiritually, yes, he's a Perpetually Exhausted Old Man who just wants to take a nap with his adopted kids.

physically and chronologically, he's only recently reached maturity.

he was still growing in Kong: Skull Island which took place in the 70s, reached his full height in GvK which took place in the 2020s, is a little shorter than our boy Goji, and i think some of the comics put his birth around the 1700s?????

all the other titans were in hibernation at that point (on the surface at least), meaning that Kong is basically an 18 yr old and the ship kongzilla is a May/December romance LMAO

can you pick up what i'm putting down?

Mothra is a cougar, Goji is an Old Man, and Kong is out here living his Best Life as their sexy pool boy

#MetalMonday:

Ritual Wine Vessel (gong) in the Shape of a #Ram 青銅羊觥

China, Yangzi River region, Late Shang Dynasty 1200s–1000s BCE

Bronze, 22 cm (8 11/16 in.)

On display at The Cleveland Museum of Art

Xike Jiulu Private Collection 3.2023

“Ancient bronze vessels in animal form are rare. This bronze is exceptional in its naturalistic sculptural quality and fully embellished surface that includes fantastic animals, tigers, birds, and a diamond-shaped mark on the ram's forehead. Bronzes comparable in style were excavated in the Yangzi River region and are believed to have been cast in the south. The ram is a stellar example of the region's sophisticated bronze production.”

“Did You Know?

While the craftsman embellished the vessel with fantastic forms and symbolic patterns, the design also captures anatomical features of a real ram, such as its "comma"-shaped nostrils, eyes with elongated orbits, and horns with parallel ridges.”

IS THIS A REAL ARTICLE. I'M SO CONFUSED. Did someone really get paid to write this? 😭

I mean it got my attention. I read the whole thing. IT'S HILARIOUS. We need art of Mothra being a 'WingWoman' LOL.

Someone took the 'X' in Godzilla 'X' Kong a little too seriously.

I mean they ain't wrong— I mean WAIT WAIT WAI— I'm just joking man.... or am I?— no, no just joking... OR—

You could NEVER have this ending now but it's one of my all time favorites AAAAAA

I sniffle like madddddd

I mean, in an earlier ep he told her this and he kept his word:

Thus ends my rewatch of my fave bits of JPLH.

I almost never care for fanfic but I'd love to read one about Eighth Prince adjusting to the modern world - he has no id! He's never seen a car! QC will have to teach him he can't behead people if they are rude to him! How would her mom react? His own mom is a cop in the modern world somewhere, will they reunite? It's not even like something like Queen In Hyun's Man or Live Up to Your Name where the period person slowly adjusts/is adventurous about that stuff by nature. SO MUCH DELICIOUSNESSSSS

(Side note - he has NO idea she never slept with his brother after all and he doesn't care, I love thattttt!)

One final note - this was released less than 15 years ago but feels like an entirely different era. Not just because this drama would not get anywhere near a filming facility, let alone a permit, now but because of the actors' looks. They are all very good looking but in a real, "I can see this person on the street as they walk turning heads" kind of way. Modern drama stars almost look like another species. Also, while none of them have an ounce of extra fat, they don't look scrawny or overly sculpted in body or delicate. Personal preferences and all that, but God I miss that!

In light of the upcoming holiday (and in light of this being my first poll on this account), I decided to engage in a fandom pastime: Shipping!

Votes will close on Valentine’s Day, hehehe. Remember to reblog so this can reach a wider audience!
