Waargh I've been holding back 5 years of Pacific Rim brainrot I think it's finally getting to me.

Drew this at like 2:28 am so Hermann's parka and overall body looks absolutely atrocious, whoops.

( First Tumblr post on my new account wahoo! )

Chapter summary:

On the morning of their test drive, Hermann is sick to his stomach. He'll have to drift again with Newton and he is not ready. But it's too late to turn back.

Cosmic Love by Florence & The Machine is such a Newmann song.

The Day After The Day The World Didn't End.

After their drift, Newt knows it's time. He loves Hermann, Hermann loves, him they've been in each other's brains for fuck's sake… It's easy math. So why aren't they together already?

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. spread the self-love ❤

Ooh, thank you for this! As for tagging onward, I'm terrible at picking people and I hate to impose, so if you see this and want to fill it out just say I sent you ^^;;;

Giving Sanctuary: The Sandman, Dream/Hob, Canon Divergence AU. Basically, "What if Dream and Hob got together in 1689 when Hob was at his lowest and they bonded over the fact both of them have lost their sons?" Probably one of my most emotionally mature works, I poured a lot of my own meditations on life and grief into it, and it has some of the best dialogue I think I've written to date. I'm also quite proud that it's complete, lol, a running theme in this list.

The Only Way Out is Down: Pacific Rim, Newt/Hermann, post-Uprising but in an attempt to make sense of Uprising and add some depth and poetry to the years Newt and Hermann spent apart. Newt is trapped in a coma after the Precursors are destroyed and Hermann Drifts with him to try to wake him up. In the meantime, they pass through a mindscape inspired by Dante's Inferno, in which each of the 9 years they spent apart take on an aspect inspired by the Circles of Hell that they have to disrupt in order to move on to the next one. Basically a Newt Recovery fic that flips the script and explores how gut-wrenching and traumatizing those years would have been for both of them, but with a lot of humor and healing, this is not meant to be an angsty slog and some of my best comedy is in it too I think. Quite proud of how I interwove Dante's "Inferno" into the structure of the story, quite proud of the fact it's finished and novel-length, and I think I grew at writing character voices and sustaining them throughout a massively long fic with this one. I still jump to read any comments I get for this one because I'm so proud of it, you would not believe how much work went into it.

Prayers to Broken Stone: The Hobbit, Thorin/Bilbo, BotFA fixit in a way but we take the long way 'round. Dragon Sickness literally turns Thorin into a dragon and he and Bilbo need to survive being locked up alone inside Erebor long enough to find a cure for him, or else. The story is much more psychological than it may sound, it's much more about exploring Thorin's trauma through the lens of him turning into the creature he fears and loathes most in the world. Very proud of this fic since it's the first long fic I ever finished, it's the one that made me actually attend some highly competitive writing workshops since I finally felt like I had become a competent enough writer to be able to actually complete a novel. Also quite proud of the characterization, voices, and mythology created for this one.

Shanghaied: Pacific Rim, Newt/Hermann, post-Uprising again. Post-recovery fic, Newt returns to Shanghai where he was held captive by the Precursors for ten years and slowly spirals mentally when forced to confront the physical location of his torment once more, all while trying to put on a brave face for Hermann that only grows more manic as the night goes on. Still perhaps one of my most emotionally... sincere? works? It's the most based on personal experience during a bad time in my life but translated into a flavor of angst I don't see as much of in fic, it's probably one of my more literary pieces in that respect? Anyway, I'm very proud of the maturity of emotion in this one so I always race to see any comments that get left on it.

5. Come live with me and be my love: The Sandman, Dream/Hob, alternate 1789 hookup. Dream loses a bet to Desire and must live for one year as a normal human, in this specific case, one year as the husband or wife of a human of his choosing, without almost any of his powers, in order to better understand how humans live. Dream chooses Hob as his spouse, naturally, since Hob is the least unbearable of humans and not mortal and therefore not in danger from him. Hob is only too glad to oblige but unfortunately, this means Dream has to pretend to be a woman in order for them to blend in, so shenanigans ensue. While this is still a WIP I do intend to return to it and I am massively proud of it. I think it's one of the works I've done the most worldbuilding for from scratch, in the sense that I had to quickly familiarize myself to a reasonable degree with early 1800s England, a period I'm not actually all that fond of in history (I'm not really an Austen or Bridgerton fan, to say the least). I think it has some of my most ambitious writing in terms of scope and scale and some of the more clever writing in terms of building tension and crafting original characters who lend realism to the setting without overwhelming the central, more important characters of Dream/Hob and their story.

Alternate: Post-Drift Hermann. For. The hell of it.

[ember-amber]

Pacific Rim posting time.

Drift hangover is the idea from the books that a piece of a drifter's minds remains in the other, like they kind of never disconnect fully.

One must wonder what that is like when the other driftee is a giant monster from a different dimension.

Did Newt and Hermann get any habits or urges from having all those memories pushed into their brain?

More importantly, if the Precursors survive and use the same model of Kaiju, would they find that the Hivemind is tainted. Would every subsequent kaiju have a droplet of humanity, forced into them by two gay mad scientists that hate each other.

Just something to think about

" I am happy because everyone loves me. " - Louis Wain

I am a sucker for Louis Wain, his story and his art. And cats. A lot of papers I have written have at least one Louis Wain reference. And why not draw Hermann as one of my favorite pieces of art Louis has made?

I'm going to change some things tomorrow

[monsterblogging]

Putting lore on Pacific Rim together is a wild time because we essentially have the following sources to work with:

The movie, which you would be rather inclined to think of as the Most Reliable Text since it's the main text, but then you realize that you do have to choose between Hermann Gottlieb's halving pattern and Stacker Pentecost's statement about running a dozen missions as a ranger, because they can't both be true.

The Drift Space special feature on the DVD, which sources information on Newt from an outdated character bio.

The Tales From Year Zero and Tales From The Drift comics, which give you insight into the history of this setting as Travis Beacham imagined it, but the art is terrible.

The novelization, which contains some nice little tidbits about Jaeger tech and kaiju biology, and occasionally some insight into the characters' pasts and personalities, but completely butchers the characters' biographies and uses outdated information about the creation process for the kaiju. And the characterization is terrible and the prose is god-awful.

The artbook, which is full of typos in the data boxes and also contains a quote from Travis Beacham with outdated information on the kaiju creation process.

Travis Beacham's blog, where he happily answered questions about drifting, and many other questions that he didn't believe would spoil anything for the PR2 and comics he never got to make. Unfortunately, he believed a lot of things would be spoilers. (This is the man who thought fans would be able to pick up on the sequel hooks for PR2 by the "seventh viewing.") And also, he occasionally just got mixed up.

Travis Beacham's Twitter, where he, y'know, kept on being Travis Beacham.

The character bios posted by Guillermo del Toro on his Twitter account, which are all a few iterations out of date.

News articles containing quotes from interviews with Guillermo del Toro, which occasionally provide some insight but never as much as you'd hope.

The PropstoreAuction website, which has pictures of numerous props and costumes made for the film, some of which were seen in the movie and some weren't; but honestly they're all a joy to look at.

Old galleries of concept art that are still floating around out there... or are only kept alive on the WaybackMachine.

And of course, there's old interviews and BTS videos floating around on YouTube.

And if you want to figure out what the hell is going on, you have to look through it all and carefully compare and contrast everything to figure out what's probably reliable and up-to-date, and what's somebody getting confused or making a typo, or presenting actual info badly, presenting outdated information, or making a last-minute effort to paste over a plot hole (real or imagined).

Mina Arndt - The Red Hat (ca. 1914)

After graduating from Wellington Technical School, Mina Arndt studied in London with Frank Brangwyn and at the artists’ colony in Newlyn, Cornwall, with Harold and Laura Knight. She also lived in Berlin, where she studied with progressive artists Lovis Corinth, her second cousin Julie Wolfthorn and printmaker Hermann Struck. Of these, it was the Germans’ sombre palette and techniques that most influenced Arndt.

Following the outbreak of war in 1914, and brief internment in Germany as a prohibited British alien, Arndt returned to Wellington, where she found an attic studio in Willis Street above Bartlett & Andrew’s photography shop. Early in 1915, in this ‘delightful room with many and quaint accessories’, she held a private exhibition of her overseas and recent paintings, etchings and drawings, probably including The red hat, now her best-known work.

The painting is typical of Arndt’s single-figure compositions that fill the frame. The model, Wellingtonian Daisy Hay, wears a shapely buttoned tunic and is silhouetted by the soft light behind her, which also highlights the thickly painted green wall. Her face is cursorily built up with rapidly hatched brushstrokes, leaving her expression inscrutable, as though she has drifted off while posing. Once it becomes clear that this is not a portrait intended to reveal Daisy’s personality, the eye moves upwards to contemplate her crowning glory — the hat. Its oval form is swathed in a scarf, expressively rendered in crosshatched slashes of deep red paint. Its gorgeous painterliness and hue are enhanced and thrown into focus by the simple flat background of harmonious brown and green. An Auckland Star critic, perhaps failing to appreciate Arndt’s subtlety in using shape and colour, and accustomed to bright post-impressionist palettes of artists such as Edward Friström, found her art ‘a little wantingin colour and lightness’.

In 1917 Arndt married Leo Manoy and settled in Motueka, where she worked and taught from a home studio. She produced memorable domestic images of mothers and children, and also of Māori women washing clothes, which she exhibited throughout New Zealand and Australia until her early death aged forty-one.
