Military wankers are literally incapable of designing good Jaegers because they cannot comprehend that first and foremost, a Jaeger must be a kind of Weird Guy.

It feels like there's been this very particular subset of the Pacific Rim fandom who were into it specifically for how its central conceit blurs the line between intimacy and codependency, but felt constrained by the fundamental optimism of the source material – like no matter how fucked up they made it, there was something basic and structural embedded in it that meant it could never be fucked up enough.

And then Armored Core VI came along.

...and they were drift compatible!

Newmann four pieces acrylic standee is up for preorders on my shop for one week only!!! I've wanted to make this standee for a year now, and I really hope that you will like it!

I know we talked to you a lot at the beginning of the year about playing with Nate..you obviously had such great chemistry with him, knew where he was going to be back in the day. Seems like you guys are starting to find that a little bit again (...) just how is that coming with him? [x]

Do you ship it?

specific to the first movie

reason: Enemies to lovers scientists. Drifted together to save the world with the power of love. They are so obsessed with each other it's embarrassing. Years of passionate love (scientific) letters to terrible first meeting to 5 years working in close proximity pipeline. *layer voice* I'll quote Everything the actors said in interviews as evidence your honor

since my pacific rim brain rot doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon, i'm thinking about how losing your drift partner while still connected to them through the neural handshake is the cruelest way to lose anyone ever. even crueler when you consider ghost drifting. so after all those years of piloting together how much of yancy's mannerisms thoughts etc has raleigh retained? has he dreamt yancy's dreams? how much of him is now yancy too? yes, raleigh might have lost a piece of himself when yancy died, but it's also the way yancy's ghost will forever be inside his head (in a very literal sense). he has to grieve someone who will live inside him forever and that makes me very sad because how are you supposed to move on from that?

the haters expect me to "do" my "job" when im CLEARLY busy thinking about those two nerd ass science dorks from that one movie who are definitely In Love

Reminder that Pacific Rim was not made for far right weirdos, and the creator never supported that kind of nonsense.

Happy birthday to my favorite movie of all time!! It’s a decade old now! Happy Tenth birthday!

[sennamaticart]

I can finally share my finished piece for the @edgeofhopezine

Sasha and Aleksis were always my favorite pilots in the movie, they're so cool, and Cherno Alpha is such a neat mech design! I had a great time channeling some vintage poster aesthetics for this one <3

​I like to think that Newt loves really weird food combos and whenever he eats in the lab (because of course he gets super focused on what he’s doing and when he finally does remember to eat he doesn’t want to get pulled away from whatever he’s working on so he eats in the lab, getting crumbs all over much to Hermann’s chagrin) Hermann will see what he’s eating and like physically cringe at how gross/weird it is
