#pacific rim
I guess this is a character study, of sorts. I think Hermann is a character who is often reduced into a trope: the stuffy, grumpy professor, in constant disdain of Newt’s free spirit. Things like him asking to be addressed as Doctor Gottlieb have led to him being reduced to a stuck-up killjoy. But there are reasons people have these preferences. And in the end I’d argue that Hermann wanting to be addressed by his full title is him attempting to accomplish the same goal as Newt’s tattoos. It’s not all about sounding or looking impressive. It’s about taking claim of an important part of you, and asking others to acknowledge it.

Yo someone shoot me an ask if they wanna discuss the heartbreaking info that Rob Kazinsky gave me when I talked with him about Chuck
DO NOT LEAVE US HANGING, MY DUDE
So I finally watched Uprising.
Hmmmmm……
The fact that back when Pacific Rim had just premiered and a few months later Rob Kazinsky went to Pacific Rim fan-related events like that con in Atlanta (x,x) and the Pacific Rim: Training Day video (x) makes me so happy because he’s said that the movie meant so much for him because it was his first important role in a long time and he just wanted to make the most of it while it lasted. He loved the movie as much as we did.
Rob is so pure and good
Got a new URL and in order to celebrate I’m gonna put this here (I did it for twitter but). Thoughts?
PS: I wanted to do this for the first one only but female Characters were missing so I had to add Amara ‘cause she’s such a disaster Lesbian. Also wanted to add Yancy but the lack of space limited me)

Reblog in 2017.
#honestly being murdered by kaiju sounds like a better timeline
IT DOES
It’s weird but not really surprising that one of our better option timelines includes all of us being murdered by alien monsters.
I would accept being murdered by an enormois alien monster tbh

Here’s a dump of a bunch of fan art for my favorite Pacific Rim fics. I wanted to draw a lot more, but I ran out of steam. Each one of these are gems, and as far as I’m concerned any one or all three of them could replace Uprising. Real talk, there are so many insanely talented writers out there making art and telling stories simply because they are passionate about a world or a character, and that’s really fucking cool. So to all the fic writers out there, thank you; your stories have been a great source of comfort and entertainment throughout (and before) the last 2 years of covid limbo.
Anyway, a few miscellaneous notes about the three works referenced above. Go check them out if you are so inclined.
Frankenstein and the Newt–@orphan-dat:
Oddly enough given the fact that this series is literally about a pandemic, it has become my go-to comfort series during quarantine. Humor, action, and drama are all well balanced, and the characterizations of Herc and Hannibal are especially refreshing. I have a soft spot for transhumanist narratives and identity struggles, so Kaijute is very endeared to me. (Design note: Decided to take a slightly different approach to Kaijute from my past illustration and settled on something between a komodo dragon and a pangolin. I only realized after the fact that it somewhat resembled Raiju in canon.)
Anteverse Refugee–@skull-bearer:
Another wonderfully unique series, this time featuring kaiju!Hermann as a central plot point. The world building for the Anteverse is great, and the way that the author explores Hermann’s humanity through his technical lack thereof is touching. Plus Newt is a big sweetie.
This was the first Pacific Rim fic that I really fell in love with. It’s also one of the best examples of an author making me care about not one, not two, but literally EVERY original character in a fan work. I would take a bullet for Sonia Whately. Beautiful fic with some A+ character development and fascinating world building.
TL;DR: Fanfiction is a wonderfully valid form of art! ^-^
