I CAVED AND MADE DESPICABLE ME OCS.
the tall one is maroon overkill, son of scarlet overkill! he usually goes by rooney, though. he works in the same mall that el macho did, running a haberdashery! (a hat store basically) he wants to distance himself from his parents' career choice of villainy, but they're very insistent that he follows in their footsteps. he just wants to sell hats :(
the short one is rooney's son and scarlet and herb's grandson, herbie overkill! he's a lot more sporty than his parents and grandparents, and he's margo's age
#despicable me#my art#mothra ocs#well here they are!#between you and me they were for a dm2 rewrite where scarlet is the main villain instead of el macho#shhhhh

Fun Facts about him:
1.- He hates the cruelty of the villains like Skar King
2.- His title is The King of the Dark Songs
3.- His personality is serious, sometimes selfish, cold, empathic, sensible, sometimes evil and tragic person
4.- He has similar abilities to the 5 Godzillas, but has an ability called atomic suction (it's like atomic breath but in reverse) cause because it absorbs the souls of the villains that defeated them

Do Rodan and King Ghidorah exist in your Coffee Shop AU?
They do yeah!!
They work on a rival coffee shop that isn't even that close to Mothra's, but since Ghidorah's petty like that, he'll bother them and act like a cartoon villain to bother them lmao
Rodan used to be somewhat close to Mothra and Goji when they were younger, but they dont talk much anymore nowadays

there's no way this is real because GODZILLA and MHA??? together?? [WARNING: A NERD RAMBLING ABOUT PARALLELS BETWEEN CHARS ↓↓↓]
I'm surprised they used King Ghidorah for Bakugo, I'd honestly pick Rodan for him. Both friends with main character, both act kinda like jerks but also nice too (not to mention Rodan is associated with fire and volcanoes, similar to Bakugo's explosive nature).
Also love some parallelism between MHA and Godzilla characters.
Mothra is that character that resembles hope, kindness and protection. Despite being merciful monster, she puts all her might during her fights in order to protect the innocents. She may be weaker than other kaijus like Godzilla or King Ghidorah, but she stays on par with them, not afraid to fight against significantly stronger opponents.
(for example, Mothra fights with Ghidorah in GKOTM ((and Leo with prehistoric Ghidorah in Heisei)), both Ochaco and Bakugo associated with the two kaijus in this merch!)
Mothra is often portrayed like an angelic being, she appears in the air to save the day when you need it the most. She is selfless when it comes to saving others, just like Ochaco. Both these characters are heroic in a very clear way.
I also find it interesting how both characters were introduced. Mothra wasn't all innocent and kind moth kaiju in her first film. She was angry and full in her protective mode when people kidnapped her fairies, someone considered so dear for her. Later in the franchise, Mothra appears to be the protector of the Earth and humanity. Ochaco also appears with a pretty realistic motivation when we first see her. She wants to be a hero to protect people, but she also wants to make sure her own family has enough money. Both want the best for their loved ones.
Another interesting fact, despite having a long complicated history in Japanese Godzilla movies, Mothra and Godzilla are actually very nice to each other in Monsterverse. Godzilla and Mothra share symbiotic relationship, and in the novelizations, it was even said they have strong bond "like a family". Both Godzilla and Mothra have their titles as " King of the monsters" and "Queen of the monsters" respectfully.
(even though I prefer muuuuch more Horikoshi's older pieces where he used Izuku as Mothra and Bakugo as Godzilla. It's just makes sense since Izuku&Mothra are often portrayed like the kind one, meanwhile Godzilla&Bakugo as impulsive and destructive).
Both Biollante and Toga are very tragic characters if you look into it. Everything starts from their family. The main tragedy of Biollante is that she's partly human, she has DNA of the dead daughter of the scientist, combined with Godzilla's DNA and a rose.
What is also interesting is the symbolism in roses. They're very much similar to Himiko's role. In many variations, roses as a flower can represent a strong love, sacrifice and even blood. Sounds kinda familiar, isn't it?
More to add about similarities between Toga and Biollante is that they both has the ability to transform. In "Godzilla vs Biollante" she appears in a flower like form, until she gains more reptilian features. Toga's quirk also allows her to "transform", she is also takes the form of someone she sees as 'close' to her, like Izuku.
Another interesting thing, Mothra and Biollante team up in the comics. Even though Biollante is often portrayed like a destructive monster and a villain, she has the same motivation with Mothra in the comics - protect the nature.
I guess this merch is a win-win for for Togachako and Izuocha shippers lol. I kinda want this acrylic stands now 🥲🥲🥲

If I were to reboot the MonsterVerse, I would do this:
Kong Skull Island would remain untouched.
The 2014 film would be more tied to the 1954 film but it's revealed that the Oxygen Destroyer only wounded Godzilla for a while until he returned in 2014.
A mixture of Toho and Legendary Kaiju
Ghidorah would be the over-arching villain as he is seemingly killed, but his left head is regenerating a new body ala Reptilicus.
Mechagodzilla is actually a left-over of an ancient civilization from which the Iwi are descended from and there are actually a bunch of derelict Mechagodzillas.
Tighter continuity.
The Iwi and Hotua (the Iwi of Infant Island) are descendants of an ancient civilization called the Qi'Lahk (an homage to the Kilaaks).
Hollow Earth was discovered much earlier in this continuity following the events of 2014.
Mothra is unambiguously mystical as there are other mystic based Titans.
Skull Island doesn't get destroyed and is home to a Hollow Earth portal in the Goldilocks Zone (meaning it's not too big and not too small and is relatively safe enough for travel).
Godzilla is much more hostile on the outset toward humanity.
Simmons is more eccentric than evil and has a GOOD reason to want to protect humanity from Godzilla.
Miki Saegusa is a major character.
Ishiro is Daisuke's nephew and he and Ren are the last living Serizawa clan.
Ren butts heads with his dad because, while Godzilla is the root of their family's suffering, Ishiro is more intrigued by Godzilla when Ren has good reason to hate him.

I just started reading “the monsters we create” and have been loving it so far. I’ve binge read to chapter 15 after the fallout of the Godzilla v Roman fight. Which was epic to read.
I also read the voices Azula is hearing are not quite hallucinations after all. Which is interesting. I wonder if Mothra will help heal Azula of this… entity? Also I would contend that the voice is wrong about this part “if even you regain your former strength, you don’t stand a chance against the Avatar’s cronies”. I would posit that if Azula regained her strength and even exceeded it like she did in the comics (which is about the only good thing about those miserable works) she would kick the Gaangs ass (sans Aang of course) in any one v one fight. And if it ever comes to a fight between them in the Future, I’m eagerly looking forward to Azula proving that voice/enrity wrong!
I also wanted to ask about the concept of luck and fortune. Since Azula and the voice/entity’s conversation mainly was concerned about her supposedly “being born’ lucky”. In your story, what does Azula believe about the concept of fate? Of destiny? Does she accept the notion, reject it? How does her opinion of Iroh, of Ozai, and of Zuko influence her views on the concept of destiny? Especially when all three espoused its nature.
Looking forward to the next update! (once I get up to that part in my read😀)
Hey! Thanks for the ask! I would've gotten to it sooner, but school was a mess this course. Hopefully, I can clear some of these asks out.
Anyways, the Voices. No, they're not just hallucinations. They're an entity who are going to be the ultimate evil in the series. There has been a common consensus on what they are. And while I can't exactly confirm them right away since that would absolutely ruin all the build-up, I can confirm they're going to be a nightmarish threat. Plus, I want people to really HATE the Voices. Not right now since we're so early in the trilogy. But as we get further, they're going to get worse, more malevolent, and more detestable. I didn't want a situation where some underling is more hated than the big villain (remember how more people hated Umbridge than Voldemort or hated Azula more than Ozai?). I want to avoid that here and give this thing the dread and vitriol they richly deserve.
I can also hint that the Voices do, in some way, have some connection to Azula's blue fire. Her fire here is one of the lynchpins of the whole story. After all, she and Godzilla share it. Thus this means her fire is a lot more than just a sign she's a better firebender than most. And she is going to get stronger. I'm trying not to give her the Mary Sue treatment by making her overpowered, but definitely strong enough to give the heroes pause. Which they ARE going to find out the hard way in a few chapters. Not the Gaang, but it's not going to be pretty.
Now as for luck. One of the things I wanted to tackle was the myth of Azula "being born lucky". She wasn't. Canon proves that both in the show and in the comics (if you consider them canon). I wanted to deconstruct that along with a LOT of misconceptions about Azula. It's something that I've touched on with Toph's storyline in this fic as well. As for fate, I AM planning on having a conversation in the next chapter touching on that. Azula does believe in fate, and there have been a few allusions to that. Basically, Azula and Godzilla are foils. Being seen as monsters, wielding blue fire, having their actions shaped wholesale by the war, etc. Now Zuko's introductory arc is that of him trying to be a monster slayer given that he "defeated" Azula. I drew parallels to Sozin claiming to have "conquered" Godzilla, as well as the dragon and mosasaur hunts mentioned in the first hunt. In his eye, his "destiny" was to defeat monsters like Azula and Godzilla. Guess how well the latter panned out for him.
So yes. Azula does believe in fate which I'm going to get into, but it's a lot different than Zuko or Iroh's. She sees herself as a monster, nobody has proven her wrong, and monsters like her tend to get slain in the Fire Nation. It's only gotten worse. But I don't want to get into that. Just know that I also want to deconstruct the concept of destiny in ATLA and build it back up to something that speaks a lot truer to what the core themes of the series say. Mainly that people should strive to be better and write their own fate. You can blame BIONICLE for my idea of what destiny should be.
Thanks again for the ask! I got a good portion into the next chapter and I hope to get more done this week. Should be easier without school breathing down my neck. Feel free to ask more if you want.

can we talk spoilers? (if at least tag them so those who haven't seen it yet can block the tag)
anyway
DOUG STEALS KONG'S LUNCH LOL. He's even so smug about it when Kong relents and lets him have it.
Mothra is so much fluffier this time around! Love how when she breaks up Godzilla and Kong's fight she's almost SCOLDING Goji lol. "Goji! Stop bullying the poor monkey!" "S..sorry, dear..." Jia seems to be her main priestess now tho? Whatever happened to the twin scientists from KOTM? I hope they aren't entirely forgotten and replaced. Maybe they can return as Jia's guides.
Shimo is adorable. I'm glad she got a happy ending and some neck scratches from Kong. Big huggable lizard-horse-kitty.
Suko saves the day by retrieving Kong's axe? Huh. That lil kid pulled his weight a lot more than I'd expected to. Also love his mean streak at the start, he and Kong bickered a lot at first.
And of course, Skar King's very very karmic and brutal demise. I can only imagine the state of him (and Rio de Janeiro's streets) when those ice chunks finally thaw out. Good luck with the cleanup, Monarch.
Everyone make sure you filter "gxk spoilers" because I've been using that tag for everyone not looking to be spoiled!
I think Mothra suddenly becoming an Iwi protector is because supposedly there was going to be another Original MonsterVerse Monster called Phosphora or some-such, but it wasn't well received by test audiences or something so it got reworked into Mothra. I could be misremembering, but that's what I remember hearing. Which is funny, because if memory serves correctly the KOTM end credits hinted at Mothra having already laid an egg before the Boston battle, so... retcon?
I'm really glad Shimo survived the movie, I felt so bad for her being under Skar King's pain control and how she visibly resists him throughout. Even her roars sounded pained. It was really sweet seeing the look in her eyes when the surface world sky is being cleared up, like if she's the source of the last Ice Age then it's been literally thousands upon thousands of years since she's last seen a sky like ours. Hoping we see her again in another movie!
Holy shit, Suko's introduction scene got SO MUCH FUNNIER when he goes from "i'm baby" to biting Kong's finger to being used as a BLUDGEONING WEAPON BY KONG. Suko really chugged that character development juice.
I feel vindicated for not once underestimating Skar King, because he is the most vile MonsterVerse... uh, monster villain we've gotten so far. Ghidorah was a sadistic son of a bitch and Mechagodzilla was a crazy Titan Terminator On Blue Rock Steroids, but Skar King has the heads of fellow Kongs stuck on pikes (presumably to set an example for anyone looking to challenge him), when he mocks Kong's new tooth most of the apes and especially Suko seem to laugh along out of fear, he straight up KICKS an ape into lava, and has actual sex slaves holding babies in his throne room, and you just KNOW they don't consent to what he does to them. On top of him controlling Shimo with pain and his attempts on Suko's life - and considering the number of red/orange-furred babies in the throne room, we can surmise that Suko is one of his own children - Skar King may not have the spectacle or scale Ghidorah had, but my god did it feel good seeing him go down.

What Battra's reaction be if he learned he had cultists that worship him?
Battra had a mixed feelings about this.
Before:
Battra: Disgusting vile and repulsive pests! I don't need some sort of a cult! You only disturbed my existence! YOU DON'T BELONG HERE!!!
After:
Battra: Yes, my loyal cultists! Spread the entire civilization that I, Battra, shall soon be awakened from your abuse to my Mother Nature!
@gorillageek27 I ALREADY MADE BATTRA'S PRIESTESS AS A CONTRIBUTION TO BELVERA (THE EVIL ELIAS FAIRY FROM REBIRTH OF MOTHRA), AND MY NEW OC VILLAIN NAME WAS FEI LI OR THE WICKED BLACK VIRGIN

i finally actually fully lined and colored(most of) my Sleepless doodles, but they're only au stuff yeah sorry got nothing in the back :/
anyway (almost) all of my Sleepless au stuff from @merklins and i's chitterings, shout out Merk i love chittering the mad scientists with you, i've been having so so much fun :)
now, under the cut, small details on what au is what, for some important context beforehand, these aus hinge off of our own interpretation of MST stuff and how Sleepless met the MST so yeah pff
First Page(with bonus regular Sleepless doodle)
"Villain" AU (Insomnia) - Sleepless never meets the MST and ends up getting trapped and experimented on by Black Mesa for a time before managing to escape and takes on a life of evil mad science
Mermaid AU - Just a mermaid au, this Black Mesa facility is a marine biology branch that repurposed an old oil rig for their facility, Sleepless ends up as a Luna Lionfish :)
Color Swap AU (Sleepwalk) - Basically generally the same as normal MST, but Sleepless and Doc have different reactions to events and Doc is the one that ends up exiled, it's that one au Mothra made that's technically not an au anymore lmao
Second Page(with bonus Monster AU Benrey):
Monster AU - Sleepless is unknowingly a Bogeyman and ends up moving to a town with other monsters only to end up realizing what he is, and he ends up living a life that is much happier and fuller with the MST :)
Swap AU (Elektro) - The actual swap au, everyone is swapped so Sleepless fell in goop and Doc ends up joining later, Doc ends up later getting cryogenics powers,,,also Sleepless is short because i need just this one thing /silly
Page Three:
Worldstop AU - Hohkay, so, basically, it's Worldstop with the MST BUT, only Doc and Sleepless are the ones with people controlling them, Emmett and Punz respectively, MST are trying to get through the ResCas and Sleepless is a soldier who, for reasons unknown to him, isn't getting any of the orders from the rest of his squad, and he takes it upon himself to travel with the MST to keep them safe(lol lmao) because he thinks they're just regular scientists who need help, and he ends up pretty close with them, but now he and Doc are going through the shared agony of being the avatars for two nerds with a strained friendship playing Half-Life Co-Op while still dealing with the ResCas and the dawning realization that they're in a video game, ngl i don't know a ton about regular Worldstop au so sorry if this isn't completely accurate to that
In Your Dreams Bad End AU (Vigilia) - :) Sleepless fucked up, and now he has to pay the price by working for G-Man
#eat up sleepless fans#hlvrv dr sleepless#hlvrv sleepless#what the fuck is this bitch's character tag#hlvrv mad science team#hlvrv mst#hlvrv#art#my art

Back from Godzilla x Kong! Gotta say, I love how you have this dynamic of... Mothra is Lawful Good, Kong is Neutral Good, and Godzilla is Chaotic Good. Because sure, Godzilla is officially the arbiter of nature's balance, he's the one keeping things in check; But boy does he not care about what he needs to do to get it done. I like how the Monsterverse has made Godzilla into quite the anti-hero as well; It's a nice mix of both heroic and villainous depictions. He has no real love for humanity, even if he begrudgingly acknowledges its right and need to exist.
If Godzilla needs to get from Point A to B, it doesn't really matter to him too much if there's a fully-populated city he needs to stomp through, especially if he's on short time (Conversely, Mothra and Kong seem much more sensitive to that sort of thing, Mothra especially). It really does make Godzilla feel like a wild card that humanity just has to accept and deal with, and coexists with uneasily; You know, in theory, he has your back. But you're still rightfully terrified of Godzilla, and hell so are other titans. He's the scariest kaiju on the block for a reason, and I love how he's still a mean city-destroying menace while technically being a 'good' guy. Portraying Goji from Kong's perspective, where he's often an antagonist, was a good way to maintain that terror that was alleviated with King of the Monsters' depiction.
Also, I can't help but imagine how relieving it was for Jia to find more Iwi! Trapper makes a good point about how she ends up having a lot of weight on her shoulders with saving the world, but you know what? She ends up having so much other weight taken off knowing there are other Iwi alive and thriving. For years, Jia must've been saddled with the burden of keeping her entire culture alive, finding a way to somehow preserve it and keep it going; But now she can relax, she knows it'll live on with or without her, and that makes Jia's decision to stay with Andrews all the more natural because she's free from obligation.
You know, seeing Monarch successfully augment Kong with cybernetics... I'd love to see the Monsterverse tackle Gigan soon, because with how technology has become so much more advanced since the first film in 2014, it feels plausible that some would see the success of Kong with the gauntlet and think; Hey, let's bring back that project full-force! Maybe they find Gigan, originally flesh and blood, deeply injured and torn apart after fighting Godzilla. Initially he's on life-support with artificial organs, but at some point investors decide, let's just reprogram him into a cybernetic attack dog to defend humanity with!
Alas, Gigan breaks free of his programming; And he ends up going on a killing spree. Because while other antagonists like Ghidorah or Skar King are ambitious warlords, Gigan is a pettier sadist, a bully who likes to hurt and torture. He kills for sport, and that's literally all he's going to do once he gets his upgrades, doing it all for no other reason than fun.
Of course, another part of me would really like to see Gigan still associated with aliens, too; Monsterverse has clearly become modern Showa, we've basically got magic now! And I like that, the weirder and more fantastical, the better. There's an underground civilization that uses ancient technology bordering on magic, the Iwi of the Hollow Earth are like the Monsterverse's Seatopians. So it seems a natural evolution to introduce a more one-to-one counterpart to Seatopia in another film, another group of Hollow Earth humans who want to destroy those on the surface, and worship Megalon's power to tunnel through the earth itself. And if you have Megalon, you should have Gigan, and if you have Gigan, you may as well throw in aliens, not just in the sense that they're from space like Ghidorah, but I mean like. Actual UFOs and the like.

So @milk-powrit asked me to draft why I didn't like GxK, to which I decide to oblige.
DISCLAIMER: Those are my personal opinions; of a fan of Monsterverse since 2014 and a nobody with any competence in analyzing media, save some common sense and maybe rudimentals??
Also I already hugely disliked Godzilla vs Kong so my discontent had a part in how I enjoyed the movie.
To conclude English is not my first langauge and even in my langauge, debate is not one of my strenght.
Spoilers alert; so skip or I kindly suggest to block the tag: Godzilla x Kong spoiler.
Let's start with the first thing: I don't enjoy how the tone of the movie shifted so drastically from Kotm to GvsK.
In this post, a youtube user explained better than me why the shifting tone felt like a downgrade. If in Godzilla (2014) Godzilla was introduced by hearing his foot stomping on the ground. It was heavy, massive, it reverbered on the glass of the airport. It felt natural, realistic. How a creature that BIG would move in the real world.
As the user said Realistic =/= Seriousness. Godzilla can be goofy. But Monsterverse!Goji was estabilished in a setting, that was the real world.
In both GvsK and in GxK Godzilla does not feels natural. Was necessary for Godzilla to evolve, to be more nimble, when already in GvsK was already moving in a way unnatural?
Or pulling the 0 gravity fight? What purpose had the evolution, if in the end it was not even necessary. Had really improved his fighting skills? They were the same, on earth and in the hollow earth.
2 reason: I've seen around posts about how media litteracy has gone bad; in some ways about people can no longer sospend their belief and calls anything a plot-hole.
But I think that one thing is suspending the belief but another is the director of the movie making the plot moving from point A to point B without telling the audience how.
For example: Suspension of belief: They had the Beast Glove ready to use, because Monarch was already working on it ✅
But why Jia is the chosen one of the day? How the Iwi in hollow earth knew of Skull island? How the shard to control Shimo works? Why Godzilla would respond to the distress call of the people who fought against him? Why Mothra has a connection to the iwi, in particular. Since in Kong: skull island there's no reference to her? How Jia flew back on Earth with Mothra, without dying for the gravitational pull?.
Not everything has to be the viewer's guess that's what I'm saying.
3 point: Shimo and Skar King are as much wasted potential as it was MechaGodzilla was in GvsK.
Skar is menacing yes, has the ability and dexterity of a formidable foe. He's vile and disgusting, oppressing his clan (let's call it that) and he's even an abusive father. All of these things: but as a villain he's really that dangerous?
He was introduced as this terrible tyrant, a danger to the world. And he wasn't even trying to go on Earth; he went up by accident basically. Because the Iwi had to play with gravity. Or should I believe him, forcing his subordinate moving rocks was to build a staircase to the upside?
And Shimo, sweet girl. She looks so horrible. Her white scales don't blend in for anything. Like she was photoshopped last minute. Her powers do damage I see. But her being presented as one or The first Titan do actually mean something to the plot, to the character? Or a simple red-herring to made her more interesting than she actually is?
Because at the end of the day SHE IS A PET!!
"Oh Kong now has found a mate, so cute". My brothers on earth, she goes on four, is used as a mount the all time and she kept panting the whole time. That's a pet, the old dog you have to force inside when it snows.
It was pretty disappointing.
Last but not least the reason I personally dislike Wingard take on the Monsterverse, which is the point you could probably throw away all my arguments, compelling or not because it's really a ME issue, who don't think no one'd agree and I don't blame anybody for it.
I HATE HOW WINGARD DECIDED TO PORTRAY GODZILLA.
I don't hold nothing over him for having Kong as his favorite. That's personal taste, I respect it.
But when it comes to at the expense of the other protagonist, it rubs me so in the wrong way.
On this point I don't know if I want to discuss it further, but boy I do have to complain on this topic.
To summarize I'm mad Godzilla doesn't get to have the same introspection and grace is allowed to Kong, knowing he can to (if you read the Dominion comic. But since they are only distributed in the US not many does. OR should care about it. Cause I'm first a supporter of the idea that if a media is not capable to give all the informations in like the Movie, you the audience should not have to pay for more. So basically the Novelitation are cool but also a scam)
That's all I had to say about it.
Hoping any of this uphere is comprehensible. If in the end I only sound like a rambling idiot I accept it. This movie is too stupid to be too mad about it.
I'll just ignore it
