With Godzilla: King of the Monsters being pretty much my religious vocation at this point, I wanted to offer some headcanons on what the title kaiju are like in Ash’s timeline

Mothra = Mosura, you can find her being flawless and a total queen over on @endsbegin as penned by kirby who is equally a queen

King Ghidora = Aurum Ghidora, the Three-In-One. A dragon faunus who lives in three bodies at once. Every time one of his selves died, Aurum or his cult would steal or kidnap a dragon faunus child or teen to become the next “head” of Ghidora (which makes us all very happy he hasn’t been seen in centuries since you can bet he’d want to make @becomestorm one of his heads). The primary rival of Ghidora was the always mightier Ash Gozura and his clan. 

Rodan = Radon Igni, a prince of Kaijufaunus who used his aura to control the winds. He inhabited a volcanic island chain, an ambivalent “god” to the natives. The last recorded sighting of the Windlord was that he went west, to a land of heat and open sky, and hasn’t been seen since.

‘  you  sent  my  pain  into  oblivion .  ’

‘  i  was  on  the  verge  of  breaking  down .   ’

‘  then  you  came  around  and  not  a  second  too  late .  ’

‘  i  was  on  the  verge  of  breaking  down  then  you  came  around .  ’

‘  you  shook  the  noose ,  slipped  my  head  loose ,  and  now  that  boy  is  history .  ’

‘  you  rescued  me  from  myself .  ’

‘  i  was  about  to  let  go  till  i  knew  you  existed .  ’

‘  loneliness  is  hell  and  you’re  alone .  ’

‘  i  knew  better  than  to  refuse  your  hand .  ’

MY  BEST  HABIT .

‘  i’m  not  sorry  for  myself  or  any  part  of  me .  ’

‘  i  am  not  human ,  one  part  anxiety  using  two  parts  nativity  just  to  keep  sane .  ’

‘  i’m  a  bitter  little  pill  to  swallow .  ’

‘  i’m  a  little  bit  of  a  let  down .  ’

‘  my  best  habit’s  letting  you  down .  ’

‘  good  thing  i  don’t  exist  for  you  at  all  anymore .  ’

‘  if  it’s  average  you’re  after  or  ordinary ,  you’ll  have  to  move  on .  ’

‘  if  i’m  not  me  then  i  am  everyone  else .  ’

‘  if  you’re  not  you ,  you’re  everyone  else .  ’

NUMB  WITHOUT  YOU .

‘  you  are  a  panic  in  the  bloodstream .  ’

‘  you  bring  me  peace .  ’

‘  you  kill  me  for  the  better .  ’

‘  you’re  every  fucking  thing  inside  me  now .  ’

‘  nothing  can  hurt  you .  ’

‘  tell  me  what  you  think  about  me  and  you .  ’

ONE  SUNSET .

‘  you  wait  for  me  in  the  rain  as  i  patiently  try  to  pass  the  time .  ’

‘  the  day  is  done ,  now  all  i  want  is  to  get  out .  ’

‘  one  sunset  till  i  see  you .  ’

‘  my  love ,  you  wait ,  so  long  overdue .  ’

‘  it’s  been  two  weeks  in  the  rain  and  it’s  hazy  in  my  head .  ’

BROKEN  PARTS .

‘  it  isn’t  getting  easier .  ’

‘  we  are  shattered  everywhere .  ’

‘  it  isn’t  getting  easier  now ,  but  we’re  not  beyond  repair .  ’

‘  we  are  brittle ,  beware .  ’

‘  us  fragile  things ,  falling  to  pieces .  ’

‘  we’re  all  the  same  broken  fractions  and  halves  of  some  greater  thing .  ’

‘  you  can’t  fall  any  further .  ’

‘  gather  yourself  up  now ,  just  as  you  were  before .  ’

‘  we’re  all  the  same  broken  parts .  ’

FLOWERS  ON  THE  GRAVE .

‘  the  time  you  have  is  sacred ,  don’t  wait  around  and  waste  it .  ’

‘  everything  is  temporary ,  even  the  sorrow  that  you  carry .  ’

‘  so  tell  me ,  are  you  okay ?  ’

‘  i’m  okay  now  i’m  with  you .  ’

‘  you  don’t  plan  life ,  you  live  it .  ’

‘  you  don’t  take  love ,  you  give  it . ’

‘  there  are  flowers  on  the  grave  of  the  child  that  i  used  to  be .  ’

‘  it  was  summer  when  you  told  me  that  you  loved  me .  ’

‘  everything  is  temporary .  ’

‘  you  can’t  change  what  is  written .  ’

He’s neck-deep in a new design, tinkering away. A slender blade is on the bench, clicking into a grip with a little switch. He picks it up and gives it a swing. Light, balanced-good. But now for the real test. He turns on the switch, and the blade vibrates, the edge heating from the friction. Russet grins, and takes a swing at a nearby sheet. The blade hisses as it passes through, glowing hot at the edge. Satisfied, he deactivates it, placing it back on the bench. 

“Note to self-action is a liiittle sluggish on the activation sequence. Maybe-” His tail flicks as he hears the door open, turning to blink bright blue eyes. “Weiss? Hey!! What’s up??”

“You know, you can always ask me if you need my help with something like this.” Bonnie didn’t need to pretend she wanted to practice a physical on him. But did he need to be shirtless? It was making him blush, honestly. 

Though...if it was for Bonnie, was it so bad? “Do you need to take another blood sample?” Not that a golem had much blood as it was.

ash when he finds out carmine is on this blog and in face-eating range

carmine discovering this same truth around the same time he finds out  @ephmrele‘s guardian is a seven-foot tall monster god

[fortitudae]

( from ephmrele, to ash. ) " he kept me company while i was away at beacon. " youngest belladonna fluttered lashes closed and absently moved to tuck strands of midnight hair behind her ears, unaware of her clearly infatuated behaviour as she recalled a specific friend to her caretaker. she'd trailed off topic too, having just been recalling her time spent in vale. one topic leading to another. " oh, ash he was so resolutely charming ... i wonder what carmine's doing now ... "

Being very fortunate he’s not been eaten. Oh, but Ash can remedy that. He’s very protective of his charge, the little Belladonna clearly flustered at the thought of, what, some rapacious rebel with a nice smile? Boys like him were a common commodity-cheap and callous. He’d break her heart, assuredly, and that heart was unspeakably precious. The titanic Kaijufaunus would take no harm to his precious Blake. He’d trained her, taught her, and helped to raise her. 

He would burn the world if it put a single cut on her cheek. His rage was more than up to the task. 

How strange it was that her focus was on the boy, more than Vale. There was assuredly much to discuss about her time away (The Battle, her team, and her skills for example) yet she was always able to come back to him. Him, always him. 

A close-cut of a black coat, a debonair mask, and a cheeky grin to fluster hearts and charm even the strongest-willed girl. Oh, how the thought made the fire rise in is throat…

Though, it was best not to show Blake his distaste. “Thinking of you, if he knows what’s good for him,” Ash rumbled, voice a rumbling growl like tectonic plates, “you should call him. Or, invite him over. For dinner.” He smirked, teeth sharp like razors. Made for slicing meat, ripping, and tearing. 

Especially for handsy, unworthy suitors for Blake’s hand.

some thoughts about your new scaly lord, savior, and overlord

Ash is amphibious, so he does have gills. Don’t touch them unless he really likes you. Even then, don’t touch them directly. 

He’s got the back spines and the scaly tail to charge his plasma rage. He has this instead of an atomic breath, and instead of a beam, his body becomes the trajectory of destruction. 

Since a lot of Godzilla’s mythos involves radiation, a lot of Ash’s strength comes from either sources of heat, the sun, or radiation itself. 

The kingdom of the Kaijufaunus is basically Monster Island. But after they were wiped out, that island became Menagerie.

Ash is immortal. He’s probably ancient by the time Ghira brings him to heel. 

His vow to the Belladonna family remains, but he spends more time in the ocean around Menagerie now. 

No matter who or what you are, Ash is terrifying. Even animals know he’s an apex predator and a lethal vector. 

When Atlesian Specialists reach a certain high rank (Winter/Ironwood/others) are all issued a very specific Kill On Sight order for Ash. Otherwise, Atlesian companies and Specialists are ordered to avoid any “undocumented megafaunus encounters”. Schnee Company is very likely working on an Oxygen Destroyer.

so who wants to hang out with the king of monsters??

[fortitudae]

A NEW CHALLENGER HAS APPEARED!

There was once a race worshipped as gods in the islands to the south of the main kingdoms. These were the Kaijufaunus, the great and terrible tyrannic titans of their age. Gifted with impossibly potent powers and vast strength, they have long since fallen into myth and legend. But now, with the turning of the world, they begin to return. The first of which was Ash Gozura, said to be the greatest of their king, the true king. To safeguard his people, he has come under the employ of Ghira Belladonna, taking his daughter as his charge. But now, as Salem's power grows, perhaps it is an act of Gods, or Mother Nature herself, that sends Ash to point out her folly...
