#Tendo Choi

[californiannostalgia]

Things I noticed on my Pacific Rim rewatch:

1. Raleigh had his left arm ripped off while he was piloting the left hemisphere, then had his right arm and leg shredded while he was piloting the right hemisphere. Holy fuck he has been through it. His resilience and battle focus is enough to be recognized by Pentecost, whose solo Tokyo battle was three hours long.

2. Implied that Hercules Hansen was one of the OGs, like Cherno Alpha. Wonder what happened to his copilot before he began drifting with his son. Wonder what happened to the Jaeger he piloted before Striker Eureka.

3. Pentecost says he carries nothing into the drift, but that just means he knows how to match with anyone, right? Wonder what that final drift was like in Chuck Hansen's head.

4. Tendo Choi is in command of the bridge when neither Pentecost nor Herc Hansen is present. I forgot that he reverts to Cantonese in stress situations, love these details.

5. I enjoy the bilinguals of this film. Also really interesting choice to focus on the western rim of the Pacific Ocean: Australians, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, and a badass Marshal who strikes deals with the black market and literally anyone else who will fund the Jaeger program. We get to have industrial apocalypse, alien thriller, and cyberpunk in one film. (Side question: are the Americas' coastlines devastated?)

6. Mako's expressions are so. Agh. Her face shows what she's feeling with unshielded honesty (she feels so much, like Raleigh) but she carries herself like Pentecost: deliberate, controlled. Very much his student (daughter).

7. Newt and Hermann are obsessed with their scientific theories being right, even if it means the possible doom of humankind. Iconic Academics. Also they must be important enough to have helicopters on call, since they run out of one to get to the bridge in time for the final fight.

8. Final goodbyes between Stacker Pentecost and Mako Mori.

9. Mako and Raleigh are two of many orphans who had no intention of surviving the war that took their families. Raleigh's last sacrifice was simultaneously the most selfless and selfish thing to do. Good for him to have survived, Mako would've found it hard to forgive him.

10. "Stop the clock."

Little pacrim comfort headcanons:

Raleigh photowall travelled with him every time he moved to work on the wall, so in a sense Yancy never left him be truly alone, even without the drift.

Pentecost knew Mako wanted to dye her hair and asked someone he trusted to help Mako with it, so she would end with something she really loved.

Chuck drew and painted the Max emblem on Striker Eureka himself 'cause having Max with him all the time, even at war, made him feel safe.

The jaeger program never liked exposing the pilots like celebrities, so they always kept the media interaction at minimum and never revealed the details of a fallen jaeger to the public.

Which means the jaeger program helped those pilots get out after being injured, even Raleigh. Otherwise Raleigh would have never go back or trust Pentecost.

Many other pilots and officials helped Pentecost learn Japanese so he could communicate with Mako.

Mako remembers the date of almost every Newt kaiju tattoo 'cause he'd play this game where she had to identify it ans if she couldn't, the tattoo artist had to fix it.

Tendo was the first to hug Raleigh when he woke up after Knifehead. He wouldn't leave until he was sure the last of the Beckets was truly alive.

Sasha and Aleksis appeared one day at Pentecost door with the offer to blow up the breach 'cause they were sooo angry. Good thing Pentecost was thinking the same thing.

Hermann: I’m thinking about asking Newton out. Thoughts?

Tendo: and prayers

After an amount of consideration, I have decided that Raleigh and Tendo should be the kind of buddies who lose all common sense when put together. Raleigh thinks he's so smart and cool around Newt and Mako, but when he's with Tendo and Pentecost ain't watching? Not a single brain cell between them.

In that case my I please request a drinking contest between Mako, Raleigh, Herc, Tendo, Newt and Hermann.

You can choose the winner :)

So sorry for the long wait! (I got carried away)

I honestly don't know where I was going with this so apologies if any of them are OOC or look weird ( I cannot draw Herc correctly ) 😭

I asked my friend who would win since I couldn't choose and she leaned in, pointed at Herc, and went " The old Aussie. " ( she's Australian ). She also suggested Hermann being second place and Raleigh getting decimated.

(Panel 10) - がんばって ! | Ganbatte! ; Do your best! / Good luck!

( To those who know Japanese, please correct me if I'm wrong with the translation! )

Pacific Rim Headcanons #5

How PR characters would comfort you if you had a bad day

Requested by @screechinginthevoid: ty <3

.・゜✧﹒☁﹒✧゜・．

Raleigh+Yancy: Both would immediately notice and immediately get you stuff like your favorite ice cream and a fluffy blanket. They would tell you funny stories about each other, trying to take your mind off of your day. They would also tell you things their mother used to tell them to make them feel better: "Ca va aller" (it's going to be ok), "Quoiqu'il arrive, je t'aime et je serai toujours là pour toi" (whatever happens, I love you and i'm always going to be here for you). Eventually, you fall asleep and the brothers carry you back to your bed.

Mako: She would take you down to the kwoon training room and spar with you to take your mind off of it. Afterwards you guys go down to the Shatterdome cafe and you vent to her about your frustrations.

Chuck: Would take you up to Striker (or your Jaeger) and talk about your guys day. Nearly beats up whoever caused your bad day.

Herc: You vent to him about your day and he gives you a hug, telling you about his bad days and what he does to deal with them. Max runs up to you guys and Herc lifts him up so that he could give you lots of licks.

Don't drool over Y/N! ...Sees something pretty and he gets all wound up.

Stacker: When you tell him about your bad day, he tries to comfort you a little. He makes sure that whoever caused you to have a bad day is punished: extra paperwork, assigning them the worst duties in the Shatterdome, etc.

Newt: Immediately notices and drops everything and you tell him about your day. He would try and make you feel better by insulting the person(s) that caused you to have a bad day and told you to get some rest. You decide to stay with him in the lab as he goes on a small rant about the new sample he just got- part of the secondary brain of a kaiju.

Hermann: Awkwardly tries to comfort you, before deciding to start explaining the project he was working on to distract you.

Tendo: Would crack a few cringy jokes (dad jokes, flirtatious lines, etc.) to distract you. It works as you laugh and slightly cringe at the quips. You two then go on break and head up to the tallest catwalk and talk as you watch a Jaeger get repaired.

Shoutout to whoever wrote “Tendo Choi, Friendo Boi, Tender Joy, buddy,” in a fic cause I’ve been saying that in my head on a loop ever since

#I think it’s from #drs geiszler and gottleib vs pseudoscience #very fun fic #pacrim #newmann #pacific rim #tendo choi

[foxglovecove]

Talking to @redzephyrappreciationclub about the need for more Tendo and Mako content and how they’d probably have like tech jamming sessions while they worked on Lady Avenger

Then they had the brilliant idea of Mako proclaiming that Lady Avenger needs a sword and how it’d look cool and Tendo would, of course, say “can’t argue with that.” And thus this comic was born

#I mean honestly they’d totally be buddies #nerding out about tech #more Tendo content agenda #more Mako content agenda #my art #pacific rim #pacific rim movie #silly #mako mori #tendo choi

Does anyone want to watch Pacific Rim (2013) on July 12, 2023? It’s a Wednesday which is a bummer but it might be fun to do a group re-watch using Discord maybe? All press play at the same time? IDK reblog or comment with thoughts on this.
