The making of Nobody Like You (Feat. Scott Weiland and Jonathan Davis) ; 1999

[sonicasura]

More info on the Nobody Like You AU! I figured why not expand more about it! Now let's get started!

Edit: Someone actually made a fic of this on AO3. (They got my permission btw!)

Kafka's Kaiju form looks similar to canon but with the differences I mentioned in Always A Kaiju. His adult form is around 70 meters in size, he has large obsidian wings outlined by luminous green bone, a long tail ending with a scythe-like blade, long jagged dorsal plates that go down from his neck to tail, and completely green glowing eyes bearing X shaped pupils. A huge contrast compared to when he was a little kid.

Kid!Kafka basically looks like a chubby baby version of his canon kaiju form. The man was barely corgi sized at the start! He really began to grow once he started to reach adolescence. Traits such as his wings, tail blade, and unique pupils begin to crop up during his teenage years. (Yes he does take Soshiro for a flight a few times.)

Kafka knew his size would eventually become a problem. It's more difficult to sneak around and he couldn't sneak onto Hoshina Clan property anymore as he would be so easy to spot. He never thought about trying to become human until Kafka eavesdropped on an outdoor viewing of Ponyo.

Whenever he's in a slump, the Kaiju often sneak over to an outdoor movie theater and watch whatever they're playing. An argument for Soshiro was enough to warrant this. Kafka knew he could shift his body but it's an ability he never bothered to test.

Watching Ponyo gave him enough determination to try. He wanted to continue seeing Soshiro and his foster mother Sakuya. Thus Kafka got to work in figuring out how to become human. From experimenting with his shifting abilities to reading up on human anatomy.

Although one thing Kafka really needed to improve was human interaction. He has only spoken to two people and that's not enough to help him blend in. Thus the man often sought out people to talk to once he got used to moving around as a human.

Kafka's most important ally in this endeavor is Mina Ashiro. He had accidentally bumped into her during a walk. The kaiju in disguise noticed how lonely she seemed to be thus struck up a conversation. Mina would quickly become his best friend and gave Kafka some pretty solid advice on certain things.

This includes how to court Soshiro as he had no clue on 'dating'. It was a very pleasant surprise to learn his lover would be in the same Division as her. Mina was also Kafka's Maid of Honor for their wedding.

Now he hasn't told her what he really is. Kafka had learned how much Mina hated kaiju and was honestly scared that their friendship would end if she ever found out. He hated lying to her but knew nothing good would come out of telling the truth. Soshiro usually has to reassure Kafka about the topic. However this was a secret only his husband could tell and he wouldn't push him to make such a decision.

Kafka joins the Monster Sweepers for two different reasons. The first being it pays quite well as he does need money to spoil himself and his mate. His second reason is that it's a quick meal. Kafka often dug through the trash when he was younger because it's where a good chunk of a kaiju corpse goes after clean up.

The company wouldn't care much if portions mysteriously disappeared over time and he's least likely to get in trouble should he be caught by taking the job. Similar to Mina, he cherishes the bond he shares with the Monster Sweepers. Kafka's less scared of asking 'hypothetical' questions about his true form to them than her.

When they became adults, Soshiro did ask his lover just how big his kaiju form had gotten. Cue one impromptu (and concerning for the Hoshina) middle of nowhere country side trip. A thought proven right as he watched Kafka turn into a 70 m titan. The himbo obviously cracks a monster movie joke to ease the tension. Nothing like a laugh to help Soshiro deal with the fact he's in love with the next King of the Kaiju.

Hibino became a middle name for the couple once the two married. It was too important for Kafka to replace as it reminded him of his human foster mother's kindness. Even moreso because she perished during No.6's attack.

One of the few times Kafka ever went berserk against another Kaiju. He was lucky that he kept himself in check enough to stay at a human size and avoid detection. Soshiro took some months off to comfort his lover for his loss.

Kafka has met his lover's family when he got a good grasp of human interaction and his human form. Thus he avoided the whole approval process when Soshiro announced they were dating. One of the things Kafka took up to impress them was cooking.

He does experiment with different ingredients which includes kaiju meat but he reserved that bit to himself. Snacking on human food made the man quite the foodie. Plus he loves seeing Soshiro smile as he offers him a homemade Mont Blanc.

Kafka makes his appearance during the Tachikawa Invasion. Soshiro had invited him over for the party. Kafka stealthily dispatched some of the wyvern kaiju without being spotted but he had to transform to stop the bomb.

Everyone made assumptions about the Vice Captain's husband being replaced. That is until Soshiro raised his sword at them when some officers aimed their guns at Kafka. Only the Third Division knows the truth about the two lovers under Mina's orders. It's one of the few times that Soshiro was glad for his family's influence.

The Defense Force is eventually told once a case is built for Kafka. With how things are ramping up, it would be a matter of time anyway. Soshiro would rather strike first with his husband's approval than leave it up to fate.

#36 || Nobody Like You from Turning Red

[baydrof]

Late night session, singing a song I wrote

A song for you.

[bixels]

As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

to be fair to Cain if nobody had ever died before and I didn't know it was possible I would probably also hit my brother over the head with a rock if he was being really annoying

"objectively physically attractive but in possession of negative rizz" is one of my favorite character concepts. i think it's so great when there's an absurdly hot person who's just a complete fucking loser. the mood is unsalvageable the moment they open their mouth kind of deal. you get no bitches because you're so sucks.

[beaft]

it is legit bizarre to me how hard video game creators and film directors and showrunners try to pretend that fat people don't exist. can you think of the last time you saw a fat person in a lead role? god forbid a fat woman? i can walk down the street or go into a shop or restaurant and see fat people everywhere but then i switch on the tv and suddenly it's like a glimpse into an alternate universe where no one has a bmi over 24. insidious and weird

Nobody Like You: Beast Tamer

This is a thought that came out of nowhere and poked at my brain. Same with the WereKaiju one but that will get its own page. Like it says above, this is an alternate route to Nobody Like You. Now let's get started. Second part is here.

Soichiro was getting a bit suspicious about his little brother's behavior. He began to notice Soshiro leaving the house for a while and only coming back hours later. Sometimes the boy would return covered in dirt or a few peculiar gifts such as stones.

Was Soshiro...seeing someone? It didn't take long for the older brother to realize how lonely his younger sibling really is. Though Soichiro couldn't help but wonder one thing. Who has Soshiro been seeing?

Thus Soichiro decides to stalk his sibling, unaware of what he would stumble upon. His little brother, Soshiro, talking to a large dog sized Kaiju. Or the fact he seems to be teaching it!

Kafka obviously sniffs out Soichiro and oh boy was Soshiro horrified but also pissed. Did he lose it? ABSOLUTELY. Soichiro has not only discovered his secret place but also Kafka. Thus the young boy threatens the older Hoshina with running away if he told anyone.

A threat that didn't sound empty from what Soichiro recently realized about his brother. The older Hoshina reluctantly keeps Kafka a secret. Soichiro does eventually lighten up to the kaiju that Soshiro befriended.

A good thing as an incident would unfold at the Hoshina compound. One day, the kaiju detector glitches and a monster would attack the unprepared family. It would have led to disaster if two certain boys didn't intervene.

None of the Hoshina family were ready to see the youngest riding into the fray on a bus sized kaiju's back. While Kafka was smaller than his opponent, Soshiro was able to help him exploit the monster's weaknesses. Their teamwork being enough to help the two slay the kaiju.

It would have consequences as the Hoshina family now knows about Kafka. Many were telling Soshiro to get off the kaiju and let them neutralize it but the boy refused to betray his friend. Soichiro comes to their aid with an offer.

Kafka would serve under the Hoshina Clan as a protector and soon Soshiro's battle aid. The error in the Kaiju detector proving how fatal such a flaw could have been without the boys intervention. Only stipulation being if Kafka betrayed them then he would be cut down.

Thus the kaiju would be taken into the Hoshina Clan. You can bet Soshiro's eventual relationship with Kafka would be slightly different. Soichiro(other than just Soshiro) knows about his human form and allows the kaiju to slip out thanks to it. The rest assume Soshiro's husband is a kind mute man.

Since his voice is recognizable, Kafka pretends to be mute in human form thus relying on sign language to communicate. The Hoshina clan handles his education as some aren't letting an 'uneducated beast' protect them. It was a bit difficult but seeing Soshiro was worth it.

Kafka's size wasn't much of an issue due to the clan's high status. Easily securing land that he could call home and roam in his full size unless called to the compound. Kafka still befriends Mina since Soichiro or Soshiro exploit their privileges of being the kaiju's favorites. This includes letting him go on outings under excuses like field training.

Kafka gains more freedom once Soshiro joins the Defense Force. He is assigned as a battle aid, a similar role that Bakko serves, by the Hoshina matriarch. This puts him under Soshiro's care unless a major emergency is called.

A change that allows Kafka to work at Monster Sweepers as a part timer. Kaiju No.8's classification is also different. The Hoshina clan reveals Kafka to the Defense Force as a secret project dubbed 'Beast Tamer' once Soshiro becomes Vice Captain of the Third Division.

It definitely caused a ruckus with the higher ups but they couldn't do anything due to the clan's strong influence on the Defense Force. Kafka is classified as a unique kaiju weapon rather than a threat since he only listens to Soshiro or Mina if given permission. He does have a schedule for things like checks up hence why he's a part timer for Monster Sweepers.

Although Kafka and Soshiro's secret relationship would slowly become known thanks to a certain mushroom headed Kaiju. Secrets cannotvstay hidden forever after all. For now, enjoy this song that came to mind while writing this: Monster by Starset.

I wish we had more female characters like Eleanor Shellstrop. One of the most unlikable people you've ever met. Read a Buzzfeed article on most rude things you can do on a daily basis and decided to use that as a list of goals. Makes everyone's day worse just by being there. Dropped a margarita mix on the ground and tried to pick it up, only to get hit by a row of shopping carts which pushed her into the road where she was hit by a boner pill delivery truck, killing her instantly. Cannot keep a romantic partner despite being bisexual. Had a terrible childhood but will die before she gets therapy. Best employee at a scam company. Just the worst but also can't help but root for her to improve.

Absolute loser. Girl-failure. Bad at almost everything. Literally perfect female character.

White people are miserable, racist losers period. They’ve even been getting mad at Japanese people for correcting them about Yasuke as well.

[wardensantoineandevka]

is that piece of media actually bad, or is it just not following the blueprint you projected onto it? is that work actually not good, or are you just demanding something from it that is absolutely antithetical to its themes, genre, tone, and narrative goal? is that story actually poorly written, or do you just dislike that it is not the specific things you wanted from it that it never set out to be, never was, and never is going to become? is it actually bad, or is it actually well-executed and you just dislike the story it chose to be because it isn't catering to your specific desires and expectations?
