i’ve gone on about this before but the amount of DETAIL in pacrim is so fun. i love how there people in the background cheer or clap or “oooh” during raleigh and mako’s test, how you can hear Cherno Alpha calling for backup im the background during Pentecost’s scenes in the Double Event fight, how Aleksis and Sasha have their own little conversation in Russian when Raleigh first appears in the mess hall, the way all the extras in the Kaiju bunker with Newt actually look like they’ve been running in the rain (some of them are carrying bags and purses, some ponchos, all are suitably drenched), how you can hear Newton and Hermann arguing in the background before they even get on the elevator. gdt i love you
So in regards to my previous post, here’s the full interaction I had with the wonderful MJF on Saturday July 27, 2024:
It started out as a normal heel interaction aggressively saying “What do you want?”, I handed him the figure to sign and got out the 6 drawings I did(my hands were shaking so badly, I was so nervous and excited).
When I handed MJF the drawings, I said “You can keep them or do whatever you want with them.”, he looked through them all, he definitely looked surprised and impressed, read all the quotes, he said “You- you want me to keep them?” And obviously I said “yeah, I just want you to have them.”. He actually stuttered. Ik y’all were expecting an embarrassed stutter but I think it was more of a surprised or happy stutter!
He then signed the figure and said “I signed it special with my left hand.” And I looked for some signings later, every video I can find, he uses his right hand so he wasn’t kidding. He grabbed the black and white drawing I did to use for the picture, he said “I like this one.” and held that one up, as I was grabbing my figure he said “Your art is bad, don’t quit your day job.”. I was expecting him to rip them or ball them up but he actually kept them!
And I was looking at the picture later, I showed it to my mom and I thought I was tweaking but she saw it too. I showed my dad too and he saw it. The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, as if he was trying not to smile.😭🫶
I also found out that just 4.5 hours prior, at 11 am, someone brought 4 figures and got up in his face because he wouldn’t sign them all(bc of reselling). He disappeared til about 3:30(when I got my stuff signed)(likely to cool down) and I was about 5-6 people down the line. When I brought the 6 drawings out, he might’ve thought I wanted him to sign them all until I said what I said. In other words, he was likely surprised I actually wanted to give him the art rather than make him sign them all!🫶
One of the lesser known features of the IPS-N Raleigh, is the frame's ability to summon an appropriately scaled tumbleweed, regardless of the environment(this includes the vacuum of space). This is one of the rare few instances of IPS-N utilizing para-causal technology in their mech frames.
LANCER's aware of this feature often use it for dramatic effect, usually either when introducing themselves and their mechs or during combat, right before firing the M35 Mjolnir.
the care given to writing the Kaiju’s impact on the world is incredible. the entire concept of Bone Slums being something that people inhabit, especially those of Reckoner in Hong Kong turning into a black market, Kaiju Blue being massively toxic and damaging to the environment, doomsday cults emerging? it’s also so immersive, which i think a lot of sci-fi movies kinda fail to establish. granted, pacrim had novels to include extra info in, but alien/kaiju movies usually don’t flesh out the world around them besides the immediate destruction in the aftermath of an invasion. idk i just think it’s fun
