Newt/Hermann Winter Exchange 2024 Wrap-Up!
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Newmann Winter/Secret Santa Exchange the past two months!! As always it was an honor to organize. Hope to see you all next year..........
Just a few reminders: now that it's February, the 'due date' for exchange works has officially passed. If you haven't completed your exchange gift yet, please try to do so soon! Additionally, if you haven't received your gift yet, or you know you won't be able to complete yours any time soon, feel free to send me a DM so I can see about setting up pinch hitters. (Some people already DM'd me but please feel free to do so again lol I forget things easily.)
Also, there's an AO3 collection for all the works for this year's exchange right here. Feel free to add your fic (or art, if you posted it there!) to the collection. Also also, if you'd like to tag your piece accordingly (whether on AO3, Insta, here on Tumblr, etc) you can use 'Newmann Secret Santa 2024'.
#newmann#newtherm#newt geiszler#hermann gottlieb#maria's pacific rim blogging#in hindsight i really should've made a sideblog for exchange-specific stuff#but also i didn't totally expect for there to be continued interest like this lol NO COMPLAINTS!!!!

(thought id ask since u r the foremost gottlieb blogger) hi! recently i saw a post from a couple years ago about the official cause of hermann’s disability being an explosion/accident in a factory during the kaiju war, and it said that this was confirmed in a comic or some other piece of canon material; do you know if this is actually mentioned at all in any piece of pacrim media??? thank u :)
the foremost gottlieb blogger...perhaps the greatest compliment i have ever received (even though there's DEFINITELY people better at it than me).....thank you 🫡 🫡 🫡 🫡
ANYWAY to answer your question, as far as I'm aware there isn't an official confirmed cause, or at the very least I'm not aware if any tie-in material has definitively confirmed one! If anyone knows otherwise feel free to reply/whatever!

I’ve been so scared to check your blog and see that you weren’t active, but you are!! I just got into the Pacific Rim fandom and have been seeing your fantastic work on AO3, but I often read from oldest to newest so I wasn’t sure if you’d still be around. I just wanted to pop in and say that I love your work :))
AH thank you so much, that's so sweet!!!!! I hope you've been having fun catching up on fic/art/whatnot!! they will simply have to drag me out of here at this point, lmao

2023 newt/hermann exchange (interest check + brief poll)
hi Newt/Hermann nation!! it's November at last, so as per the annual tradition i'm gearing up to run the newmann secret santa/winter gift exchange once again! I got an ask about it earlier this fall and it seems like there's enough interest that I can go ahead and start sign-ups soon. (as a reminder on what the gift exchanges are, here's the info post from last year--stay tuned for another one this year, lol)
i DID want to run a brief poll to get opinions on the length of the exchange. more on this below the cut!
in the previous years i've run the secret santa exchange I typically have the matches ready and out by late november/early december, with the 'due date' being around new year's in january (barring extensions, last minute pinch hitters, and belated gifts of course!). in a newmann discord chat recently I had a few people suggest expanding the loose deadline to be around valentine's day in feburary instead so it can be a nice long winter holidays exchange. this would give people at least two months to work on gifts rather than just December! and this way the deadline won't be in the middle of in a very busy season (ie, holidays, parties, family obligations, final exams if you're in school, and so on). of course you would still be welcome to gift by new year's if you would like :)
i'll keep the poll up for a week but will most likely open exchange sign-ups earlier than that if one option is winning by a landslide. full disclosure, I'm leaning towards the extended deadline, but I wanted to make sure other people don't have large newmann/pacrim fandom events planned for jan/feb that I would be overlapping with!
whether you vote or not, I would also greatly appreciate if you could drop a reply or a like on this post if you are planning on signing up so I can get a rough idea of how many people might be participating this year! it helps me budget time for doing the matches/contacting everyone
thank you for being a very fun fandom and making it a pleasure to run these kind of things!!!

are physical copies of the zine available? where can I order it?
Hi!! If you mean the Newt/Hermann anniversary zine @k-sci-janitor and I pulled together, it's a digital release only! We do however have some very cute physical merch up on the shop too that's available for pre-order right now. You can find both of those on the shop link right here. (We didn't really have the time for managing a printed zine, plus this way we didn't have to worry about page limits--aka why it's over 500 pages, haha.) 💕👨🔬💕👨🔬💕
BUT there's also the 10 year PR anniversary Edge of Hope zine, which does have physical copies available for pre-order right now!!! I was a guest writer for that and have a little piece in it :) that shop is right here

newt/hermann secret santa 2022 exchange ❄️❄️❄️❄️👨🔬❤️👨🔬❄️❄️❄️❄️
hi all!! i posted about this on twitter yesterday, but i'm hoping to organize another newt/hermann fic&fanart secret santa swap for the the 2022 holiday season since last year was really fun, so this post is a heads up to keep an eye out in the next few days or so for a sign-up form like last year! i'm starting it a bit earlier this year to give participants plenty of time to work on their gifts (and to make the organizing part go a little smoother on my end). i'll likely keep the form up for 1-2 weeks and have a similar early january deadline for fic/art gifting
feel free to give this post a like or reply or something so I can make sure there's enough interest :) ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

Hi, so I am confusion:
How come Raleigh never met Newton and Hermann if they had always worked together ever since Yancy was alive?
Or did Newton and Hermann started to work in the Shatterdome after the budget cuts?
HI!! I think we're meant to assume that raleigh and newt&hermann spent their time in different shatterdomes before the events of the movie and their paths just never crossed before 2025 in the hong kong shatterdome. there's also a special feature on the pac rim blu-ray disc that gives a little more background on characters (which is where newt and hermann being penpals from 2013-2017 comes from; if I remembered what the special feature was called I would look for it on youtube, I think it's drift space or something like that). anyway it says something along the lines of newt and hermann beginning to share a lab/work together in hong kong in 2020, presumably after yancy died and raleigh retired, so it's also just possible that was the first shatterdome they worked at at all and they never had a chance to meet raleigh before 2025.
or maybe newt and hermann just spent all their time hiding in the lab and no one knew they were there. much to think about it

ok so u know that burn gorman quote about how hermann "...has issues with personal space, perhaps with body odor" ??
do u interpret that as 1) hermann HATES being around other people bc he can't stand the smell of body odor, or 2) hermann himself is stinky
cuz I could see it going either way but I'd like to hear ur thoughts bc you're a certified Hermann Gottlieb Expert™
most definitely #2. hermann probably smells like mothballs and cigarette smoke

ok im gonna apologise in advance for this one BUT .. hdhdhdh whenever hermann in ur fics brings up the cold-hearted Gottlieb family ?????
I ALWAYS think of that scene from Phineas and Ferb where Doofenshmirtz tells one of his many tragic backstories and is like "my father said the dog was like the son he never had and named him Only Son."
LITERALLY THIS IS HOW I ENVISION HERMANN'S CHILDHOOD....hermann's parents werent there at his birth either :/
