Deleted/Alternate Scene - ‘Abraxas: The Clash of Silver’

So, here we have an alternate take on how Ren Serizawa ends up getting zapped by Mechagodzilla’s psionic uplink in my Abraxasverse recursive fanfiction ‘Abraxas: The Clash of Silver’. When I was tidying, I was actually pretty torn on whether to use this version or the one the finished chapter uses.

I like how this version shows Ren being a bit more able to handle himself when he and Bernie land themselves in hot water, and I was sorely tempted by the post-story opportunities it could create for a certain four-legged hydra monster’s three heads’ version of Ren ;) if said version of Ren got stuck in his current situation due to Ren going out of his way to do the right thing when he could have fled. But ultimately, I decided on the version the story uses because it’s less... it feels more real and less plot-armour-y if that makes sense.

----

[Corridor. Ren Serizawa is being restrained and tightly escorted by security guards F-4, E-8 and F-11. F-4 turns his head towards a bend on Ren’s opposite side.]

F-4: Ms. Simmons!

[F-11 and E-8 turns towards the bend. F-4 promptly fires a single headshot at either of the other officers. Ren slumps to his knees as the other guards’ bodies immediately fall. Ren looks at F-4, who holsters his gun and promptly helps him to his feet.]

Ren: What?

F-4: Sent by a mutual acquaintance. You can thank them after I’ve gotten you with your pal on the next maglev train out of here. Come on!

[F-4 lightly pushes Ren forward. They begin walking. Ren stops.]

Ren: No, wait. The Zmeyevich are integrating with Simmons’ mech right now, but they’ll be vulnerable while they are connected.

F-4: Look, Mr. Serizawa, I was only brought onboard to get you out of dodge if you or that other guy turned up here and got caught.

[F-4 reaches towards Ren’s shoulder. Ren slaps F-4’s hand away. They hold each-other’s gazes.]

Ren: That’s fine. But I have a job I intend to see through, and unless both the psionic uplink hubs are now under heavy-guard, you can help me or you can try to stop me.

[Pause.]

F-4: (Sighs.) I know the way to the nearest Purple Room.

[F-4 walks past Ren. Ren follows.]

----

[Megiddo is still seated inside the activated module. Hiss and clang of the room’s main electronic door opening. Ren Serizawa and Security F-4 walk into frame.]

F-4: I’m not gonna waste my bullets.

Ren: I think I can shut it down from here…

[Ren takes long strides towards the module cockpit. Ren freezes when the module’s lighting briefly blinks off with a loud electronic noise – when the lighting reactivates, light in the module’s cables are rippling and flowing at a rapid rate. Ren and F-4 crane their heads, examining the module’s parts.]

Automated voice: Warning. System compromised. Recommend pilot disconnect immediately.

[Ren mumbles indecipherably. He closes the distance to the module cockpit, climbs atop it. He appears to briefly examine Megiddo, then turns towards F-4.]

Ren: If I disconnect them, there’s a chance they will wake up immediately. When that happens, I’d appreciate it if you do your job.

[Megiddo appears to twitch slightly. Neither Ren nor F-4 seem to notice.]

Ren: The other Zmeyevich was very fast and very strong.

[The module’s systems blink and flicker again.]

Automated voice: Warning. System compromised. Recommend pilot disconnect immediately.

[Ren begins typing commands into the module’s computers – he gives up after a few moments. Megiddo spasms and shifts in the seat, chest appears to swell with something underneath her clothing. F-4 lifts his firearm.]

F-4: Serizawa!

[Ren turns his head. Megiddo’s shifting appears to subside.]

Automated voice: Warning. System compromised. Recommend pilot disconnect immediately.

[Pause. Ren sharply reaches towards the control helmet. Visual tearing: a white flash explodes from the module. Electrical sparks hiss across the module, Ren and Megiddo are visibly spasming as lightning arcs flow over them. After approximately 5 seconds; the module spontaneously loses all apparent power and function as all lights and illumination deactivate, Ren slumps forward in the cockpit. Smoke and darkness slightly obscure the footage.]

Security F-4: Serizawa?!

[F-4 rushes towards Ren, checks for a pulse. Appears to lower his head slightly. F-4 begins dragging Ren’s body away from the cockpit.]

[Sudden blast of noise, visual tearing. F-4 freezes, looks around.]

Xenilla Arc HCs...

…or ideas- however you wanna slice it.

I think the absolute essence of this arc hinges ride or die on the answer to the question “Does it end with Ozymandias dying?”. A lot of people seem partial to the answer being yes- I will straight up admit my biases here and say I disagree- but the answer can go either way.

If the answer is yes then I think the arc should theme around Godzilla coming to terms with the fact that his brother is gone and not coming back, and that he needs to stop comparing himself against Ozzy and be king in his own way. It would center very heavily on examining older characters like Tiamat, Mothra, Shimo, and Dagon and how they all have to move on and forward. A pretty bleak story with a sad ending. I admit there’s probably more ways to do this version of the story that I’d be down to hear if anyone wants to share.

If the answer is no then the arc should be about Godzilla and crew turning a blind eye to the insurmountable odds that stand between them and freeing Ozzy- a story seriously fraught with hardship, suffering, and anguish with a dim light at the end of the tunnel. The reason I prefer this route is I actually think it’s more true to Abraxas as a story as that’s how the original story played out. This would be very similar- except it’s Godzilla’s story instead of Vivienne’s. And the unadulterated cruelty and torment wouldn’t be focused on just her. Everyone who follows Godzilla down this path goes through some shit to get to the end. The rest of this post is written with this route in mind, but like mentioned earlier I’m open to hearing about a version of this story where Ozzy doesn’t walk away- I just struggle to find a good way to write that myself.

However- one thing I don’t think should happen is a bait and switch. Genuinely I fail to see a satisfying end to this story if Ozzy’s baited to be able to survive but then doesn’t. Yes it would be angsty. Yes Goji would cry a lot. But I feel like you’d need to either write that extremely well or risk a very unsatisfying end. I just kinda fail to see a world where that can be pulled off with finesse. Again- fully ready to admit I’m biased here- would always be willing to hear others out on this, but idk man.

Anyways- the additional excuse of a very weepy happy ending gives you ample breathing room to write the most horribly fucked shit imaginable. A concept I’m sure you’re familiar with. Xenilla would want to play with his food before he consigns him to infection. He knows the effect he has on Godzilla and he intends to relish every moment of it. Physical, mental, you fucking name it; he wants Godzilla to go through hell in his final days before he mercifully delivers him to Gigan’s Proliferation Chambers to be infected. A large part of this torment would be what he does to those closest to him.

Big turning point in the arc; could happen about halfway through when the G-Team thinks they have a solid grasp on how to deal with Xenilla. The man himself shows up, wrecks Goji’s shit in front of everyone (maybe even drops him from the atmosphere like that one ask), and then kidnaps some of his closest companions to be taken to Gigan’s fleet. This could literally be anyone- but my idea is for it to be Abraxas, Mothra, and Rodan (could also throw in Leo or Ladon for some real cursed shit). They get taken right in front of Godzilla. Cue a rehash of Viv’s mental mindbreak when San got swallowed except with the King believing he’s just lost his wife and two best friends.

While onboard the ship, couple of things happen. Everyone besides Abraxas goes through some kind of horrific experience and is additionally incapacitated by the Indoctrination radio waves permeating the ship. Abraxas is spared via San being granted immunity when Ghidorah used to live onboard, and she ends up being the key to getting everyone off alive. This is also partially an excuse to give her a fight with Gigan as a moment for her to fix one of Ghidorah’s most depraved acts (a very hard and very bloody fight, might I add).

There ends up being serious consequences for this abduction. For one- everyone that does get taken ends up partially Indoctrinated. They can pretty easily shake off the worst effects as Abraxas would get them onto an escape craft within a day or two- but it’ll definitely leave mental scars. In addition, I think Rodan should end up partially infected. I think between Mothra and him, Xenilla would choose him to be infested because it would fuck Godzilla up more to see someone as carefree and quippy as Rodan utterly broken the parasite like he was- also because Mothra may have some unforeseen resistance to it being born of the Planet. This starts a subplot where Rodan is slowly getting more infected day by day and the return party needs to rush to find a way to cure him before losing him for good (this could also be how they find the cure they use on Ozzy later, more on that later). Very angsty all around- Rodan freaking out each time the cordies try to get control of him, everyone else worrying themselves into an early grave over him, etc.

Subplot #2: Monarch believes the key to stopping Xenilla is somewhere in the Hollow Earth. So- they send a group of Kaiju down there to look for an answer; in my head the group consists of Kong, Dagon, Barb, and Battra. They end up being right and find an Iwi forge/refinery where the Gojiran/Zohar weaponry was forged. Through a task requiring human/Titan cooperation, they create an Ultra-Radiated weapon that they think can neutralize the parasite (again, more on this later). Thinking it could either be a knife or a spear.

Whilst all this is happening, the few remaining Titans topside scramble in preparation as the world prepares for what could be a full-scale alien invasion. At this point- only like Goji, Tiamat, and Shimo would be left. They could all be having individual flashbacks to their most treasured moments with Ozzy whilst maybe even fighting off some advance enemies (Megaguirus or MOGUERA, anyone?).

The final conflict would start with a 1 on 1 confrontation between Shimo and Xenilla. Reason being that she needs to buy time for the cure to be finalized and for Kong’s group to return. This could also be her first truly challenging fight in millennia and we could actually see her pushed to her limits.

The actual fight begins when Godzilla rolls up all roars and challenges to Xenilla. He roars back- prepared to finally win this 1 on 1 and drag Goji back in a horrifically mauled state to be stuffed full of fungus- only for Godzilla to immediately halt his charge and shout ‘NOW, FATHER!’. Xenilla barely has time to turn around before he’s blasted point blank by a sub-atomic Oxygen Destroyer- only after the bombardment does the full Titan Vanguard roll up. Establishes that this fight is not for glory, to establish dominance, or to enforce Godzilla’s sovereignty. Godzilla is going to win and does not care how dirty he has to fight to do so.

Dagon is armed with Oxygen Destroyers, Kong’s got his new weapon, Godzilla’s all powered up, and Abraxas has a new little secret weapon up their sleeve I’ll touch on in a bit. Even so- Shimo’s already been worn down and doesn’t have a lot less in the tank. Her efforts mainly go into protecting the group’s first major plan: Barb. A lot of people seem to forget that her EMP blasts disable Titan powers- taking away Xenilla’s shields and devastating Coronal Rays. This works until it inevitably doesn’t, and the group goes through plan after plan similar in tactfulness to this until Kong or Mothra or someone gets a clean impalement with the new Zohar weapon.

Should probably explain my idea of curing the parasite now. The key to curing the infection in my eyes is two-fold and relies on two things: Neutralizing the fungus and destroying it. You can’t do one without the other. To start with it’s destruction- I think the only really viable option is literally to burn it off the bone and cells it grows on. If you’ve ever heard of Radiosurgery, it’s a form of cancer treatment that utilizes extremely precise beams of gamma radiation to literally burn away cancer cells. Obviously this is very risky to preform as screwing it up could cause irreversible damage to bone or critical tissue- if this was a normal patient. Ozymandias is Gojiran- so radiation wouldn’t have any adverse effects on him specifically, but the parasite? It would probably take a lot- a very heavy dosage and very concentrated- but Ozzy’s body would be able to endure while the fungus would not. But the infection is tricky, cunning, it would start to defend itself in some way or even try to take Ozzy with it should it be threatened like this. This is where we find the need to neutralize it- and the one who may be able to do that is Abraxas. We know that Ghidorah communicated between the heads via psionics, and we’ve seen further communication from Ichi and Ni to Vivienne and San. Vivienne and San could talk back but they could never actually initiate conversation (or maybe they could? I actually kinda can’t remember rn). Another thing- despite being shielded from Indoctrination’s worst effects- they could still hear that goddamn infernal buzzing on the ship. In fact- they heard it so well they could commit it to memory… so much that they could think about it, ponder it, learn how it works…

I’ve read asks on here that mention 'Shaking off Reaper Indoctrination’, and that’s always felt a little weird to me- because that really isn’t something you just 'shake off’- it’s very clear in ME that the damage is permanent and not something very salvageable. However- what if the 'cure’ for Indoctrination is actually just another form of Indoctrination that undoes the programming on a psychic level. An Anti-Indoctrination method created by Abraxas after scrutinizing the actual frequencies of Indoctrination to see how it works. I think this would be a fantastic way to progress Abraxas’s character past where they were left at the end of Abraxas- going from one of Ghidorah’s most tortured victims, to the one who broke free of his control and defeated him, and now acts as an Anti-Ghidorah undoing all of his past sins. First defeating Gigan and then turning Indoctrination against them. So this becomes how Rodan, Mothra, and Ozzy are saved from being Indoctrinated- and also how Abraxas becomes possibly the most dangerous Titan on Earth- now knowing the secrets of Indoctrination and able to leverage that against their enemies. I’ve got a lot more thoughts on this I’ll cover in a separate ask just because this post is getting long.

So the actual method of curing Ozzy is essentially to reverse-indoctrinate the parasite into going dormant whilst Ozzy gets pumped with Zohar to kill off the infection- but where, I hear you ask, could we get a constant stream of Zohar and enough of it to eventually burn every bit of the fungus away? If you answered Bahamut’s Proliferation (name I gave to Tiamat’s Liar; open to additional name suggestions). It’s constantly charging from the incoming Coronal Rays and through some Monarch tech, it can be repurposed as a Cordyceps curing facility for both Rodan and Ozzy. However- the curing process would not be short- the place would’ve just been drained by Godzilla a few years ago and the stream of Solar Energy wouldn’t exactly be fast. It could take weeks or even months for the fungus to be completely gone- and Ozzy would be in a coma the entire time.

As mentioned earlier- ending’s a fucking tear-fest all around. Despite all the hardship, Goji and his subjects pulled through another impossible situation. Just like Abraxas being freed from Ghidorah- Ozzy is freed from Xenilla.

As always- really interested to what other have to say in regards to this; also expect that followup ask with how Abraxas’s Anti-Indoctrination would work.

---

Now that it’s explained, I feel more open to the idea of Ozzy living after a lot of pain and suffering on everyone; it feels like Gigan (and the narrative) expects our heroes to fail in saving him from a life of horrors in spite of all their efforts, and yet Abraxas is like “You know what? Fuck you. Un-funguses your lizard.” (Abraxas can indeed initiate “psychic conversations” with Ghidorah; they’ve definitely done it one or two times in Chapter 18, I remember that.)

I do wonder how well crafting weapons made from the Zohar will work; the AbraxasVerse Timeline posits the idea that the Zohar may be the planet’s core and that Ghidorah consuming it would basically destroy Earth from the inside-out, and we know Battra is going to HATE that. On the other hand, @zerm2v0hg also presented an idea that maybe the Scarred Apes under Skar King’s rule might have refined elements of Zohar for their own fucked-up purposes, and that Synthetic Zohar can be produced without potential planet-cracking ramifications... although the synthetic alternative may have ramifications of their own, who knows...

On the one hand it makes sense that the Fleet would have an enormous Fuck-Off HUEG LIKE XBOX ship dedicated for Gigan, but on the other I’m not so keen on the idea of Ghidorah having previously lived there because it clashes with a lore-dump I’d made about the Fleet; namely that Ghidorah is the source of no insignificant amount of generational trauma and its actions are antithetical to the Fleet’s belief about Experience being the key to a life well lived (one must experience as many things as possible both good and bad), because Ghidorah will kill anything and everything it can, meaning no survivors to tell of the Experience.

It’s been a while since I’ve really spitballed what exactly the relationship between AbraxasVerse Gigan and Ghidorah would be like, but I definitely recall they fought each other. A lot. They had a rivalry but unlike with Godzilla it was this weird interplay of violence and sadomasochistic... mutual appreciation? Like, Gigan comes to believe that Ghidorah completes him in the sense that he’s constantly improving his technique and cybernetics and weaponry after every fight; and Ghidorah appreciates Gigan because they LOVE a good fight and Gigan always provides a good scrap. The Fleet however is scared shitless of Ghidorah due of the whole galactic genocidal road trip schtick, and because it’s come damn close to actually killing Gigan, their living god, at times.

Ghidorah also hates Little Ones, like the members of the Fleet, with the fury of a thousand suns. They don’t even have to look remotely like the Makers, they just bring up those terrible memories just by doing their own thing without realizing it. So Ghidorah having roomed with Gigan on his own personal ship seems a bit odd with that in mind.

“Welcome to my humble abode, Ghidorah! I’d like you to room with me while we travel the stars on a glorious crusade to spread the Word of Flesh and Metal.”

“THE FUCK DO WE NEED A ROOM FOR? OR A SHIP? WE CAN FUCKING FLY THROUGH SPACE. ALSO YOUR LITTLE ONES PISS US OFF. WE’RE GOING TO KILL THEM ALL NOW.”

“Ahh, that’s what I thought you’d say, you crazy fucking noodle! Can’t let you do that to my babies, they’re mine!”

(I know it’s not the intent and I’m sorry, but Titan-sized escape shuttles also make me giggle due to the mental image of the Earthborn Titans trying to figure out how anything works. “Hey, Rodan? I think we should start the engines. Like, right now.” “I CAN’T FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THIS THING WORKING!” “NIGHT VISION ENGAGED.”)

Abraxasverse Headcanons - Ghidorah

Some headcanons of mine about Ghidorah’s possible influence in the Abraxasverse. ;)

After the main fic, I imagine that:

1. Whenever Ghidorah Comes Back, in the flesh for real instead of acting through the Zmeyevich or the Many remnants, it’s a guarantee that two things always happen: (a) At least one major city is wiped off the map for good, and (b) at least one major character is Killed Off for Real. In KotM, that was Boston and Washington D.C. / Stenz, Serizawa (sort of) and Emma; and in ‘Abraxas,’ that was Berezniki / Jonah and Thor.

2. Ghidorah returns in the flesh and at full power one more time before Godzilla’s swan song against Destoroyah/Baragon. Maybe they’re literally the penultimate Titan crisis before the Destoroyah or Baragon crisis where Godzilla has his swan song.

3. Following up on the above two, maybe when Ghidorah Comes Back next after Berezniki and before Godzilla’s swan song; the next major city that they annihilate per 1) is London and a good chunk of southern England, which they target because they know from the Many’s hive mind that it’s where Vivienne was born and grew up.

---

Oooh! Yes, these make sense... I approve that a Return of Ghidorah scenario would result in Vivienne’s childhood home being destroyed. Thanks to the Many, Ghidorah can list every single location Vivienne would’ve frequented, from the streets she walked to school to the museum she explored as a girl. YOU DON’T BELONG THERE ANYMORE. YOU DON’T GET TO REMEMBER IT. YOU DON’T GET TO BE ANGRY ABOUT IT. THE ONLY PLACE OF YOUR BIRTH WORTH REMEMBERING IS ME.

you have become one but you can never go back to being you

Bit random but how do you feel about people using your OC’s (Titanus Abraxas, lil Manda, Ladon, Keeta, etc) in their own stuff?

As was said before and as will be said again, so written so done, if you have Things for which you wish to use my AbraxasVerse, you may use them. Go forth, and Create!

All these Skullcrawler asks remind me that we haven't talked about Keeta in a while so here we go - Keeta probably doesn't really care much for his own kind after y'know, repeated attempts to kidnap them in their youth. So he probably wouldn't bat an eye if someone in their family or otherwise suggested beating the shit out of their fellow Skullcrawlers. They might even join in, if say Manda or Rodan asked.

Keeta: I don't really like violence, I'd rather just hang out and do arts and crafts on the beach.

Manda: Hey, I spotted some Skullcrawlers heading for a nearby town, you wanna go with me to deal with them before they hurt anyone?

Keeta, grabbing a boulder: SHIT BRO THAT'S ALL YOU HAD TO SAY

Thanks for hearing me out there, I really needed all of that. I think your blog (as well as other tumblr blogs in general like kaiju-krew) help keep me sane while witnessing all sorts of really dumb takes from the fandom, especially from the likes of Twitter and Reddit. The worst takes I've seen so far are the ones that claim that unlike Kong, if Godzilla ever encounters another one of his kind, he would kill them just for disrupting his nap and/or harm a baby of his kind because he's a reptile and something something "alphas in nature kill offspring that isn't their own to prevent competition" and junk like that.

It just really sucks to see them humanize Kong (and in many cases, turn him into a literal saint) while at the same time, reducing Godzilla to just a dumb animal when they're both intelligent and sympathetic but flawed individuals.

Also your comparisons of MV Godzilla to Doomguy and cats is very on-point. All three of them may look and act prickly at first, but there's more to them than just that and if you actually take your time to look past that and get to know them better while respecting their space, they're actually not bad at all. And in the case of both Godzilla and cats, it's kind of like intruding into an introvert's personal space and acting constantly annoying to them, and then getting mad and calling them a jerk once they show signs of wanting you to leave them alone.

(About Matt Frank's post, I took another look at it and he deleted the initial post, probably because of all the backlash he got from it since he misunderstood MV Godzilla's character hard. And in case you're curious on what the post said, it's something on the lines of something like "It's great that MV Godzilla is just an aggro jerkface in the whole movie (GxK) for NO reason at all and I'm all for it").

(That said, his follow-up replies to that are still there and they're still not the best takes. Here they are, for anyone who doesn't have access to that hellish site.)

Yeeeep, this is why I stay as much as possible away from the Twitter and especially the fandom side of Reddit; in fact, there are very specific reasons I would venture into those lawless depths: Check if anyone else has run into a game bug I've encountered and any workarounds for it, or fun gifs I just happened to spy on a Google Image search.

And you know, maybe it's because I just woke up, but to those who demonize Godzilla, I'm about to do something fuckin' hilarious with my power as a fic writer with my own canon at my fingertips. Check this shit out: In an AbraxasVerse take of GxK, when Godzilla is napping in the Colosseum and the authorities are like "what the fuck do we do," who rolls up but THE ACTUAL POPE to welcome the giant napping Nukasaurus Rex and be like "This is a beast of god who protects our world. I talked about this the last time he saved us, did you not listen to my sermon last Mass? For shame. Let the noble beast rest. Amen." Not in those exact words, but yeah.

Oh yeah, @thebeastunleashed showed the the tweets on Discord. Matt, I respect ya as a phenomenal kaiju artist and you're entitled to which Goji's your favorite and also your opinion, but sometimes it's okay to be wrong. (Incidentally, my favorite Godzillas are Heisei and MonsterVerse so I happen to prefer a Godzilla with a soft side.)

#alteringworldscapes #monsterverse #godzilla #abraxasverse #just for funsies #and yes the pope being chill with goji IS abraxasverse canon now. i can do that. because it's funny to me.#italian authorities: the lizard is in our colosseum! the pope: IF HE FITS HE SITS

Abraxasverse/Silent Hill crossover

Silent Hill would have an absolute field day with Abraxas Godzilla.

See, Silent Hill isn’t just about fighitng monsters-it’s also yourself. All your doubts, all your regrets, everything that has ever tethered you down and troubled you is brought to life and turned against you. Be it monsters or otherwise, there is no part of your psyche that isn’t Either you rise above the monsters, go insane, or remain trapped forever.

(I think Goji’s Silent Hill (and especially Otherword) would have a very strong fungal aesthetic-monsters covered in fungus, mushrooms choking the grass and plant life, maybe even the prehistoric Fungi that were similar to trees breaking through the rock.

(There are a few reasons for this. The main reason is Space Crystal Cordyceps. Reason two is because Fungi are associated with decay and poison and death, which represents things Godzilla himself brought when he was younger. Third is as a metaphor for guilt, trauma, and anger, and how they can so easily infest and take over one’s mind. And as one final bit of symbolism, most Fungi bring not just decay, but renewal as well-a role not too dissimilar to the Titans, except on a much smaller scale.))

Perhaps Mothra used Moth Magic on Godzilla to put him in a Shamhat-esque human or hybrid form to ensue he doesn’t rampage. Or perhaps the Fog came for him when he was off the coast of Maine and consumed him. But either way, Silent Hill calls for the King of the Titans-and only he can find his way out of the fog.

---

I do enjoy some classic Silent Hill, and Godzilla’s already been to Hell, so why not? I also appreciate the fungus aesthetic, not just for the reasons listed, but because it also brings to mind the trailer for Silent Hill f that came out a while back since it also had a significant fungus style going on which I dug; a unique take on Silent Hill, very cool.

Complete and utter loyalty to Earth has made Battra unstoppable...

...nobody can match him in combat, his will is titanium, his power is marvelous to behold, and his eyes are ever trained upon victory. His devotion means he's never failed a mission- and he trains constantly to ensure he's always at the top of his game...

...but it's also made him a virgin so, y'know, tradeoffs.

he's also definitely not at all insecure about it. that would be stupid why would you think that

Now I'm picturing Mothra acting like a pesky sister the next time they meet up, gives him a little harmless teasing about if he's grown as much in Social Power as he has in Battle Power, and Battra's just hissing at her like "DON'T LAUGH AT ME, DUDE, WHAT IF A GUY/GIRL IS WATCHING?"

Leo, Ladon & Shin Headcanons

Just a couple headcanons about the boys, some pre and some post-GxK:

- Ladon and Shin initially have some difficulties adjusting to family life, to being around people who care. In Ladon’s case, he was tortured and experimented on, his own body hurts itself because Apex were dicks who couldn’t be bothered to fix that/actively didn’t want to, and he was made to ultimately be killed by their “magnum opus”. And for Shin, he’s a failed experiment whose initial waking moments were actual agony until his parents siphoned off his excess radiation. Neither of them have any idea how to take having parents, a proper home, and a bunch of reliable older Titans + kids their age to fall back on. In both cases, their base reaction is hostility and closing themselves off, which the other Titans let them do until they’re ready to open up a little.

- Ladon being so angry at the world (and at himself - likely having internalized back in Apex’s facilities that whoever ‘Godzilla’ is, him “not being him” is something bad given how he was treated for not being a perfect Godzilla clone) makes it pretty difficult for anyone to approach him. He especially gets snippy with Shin when they first meet - despite Shin being physically older, Ladon’s body looks more advanced/stable and he’s mentally more mature than Shin who is still getting used to everything not being endless pain. So a lot of harsh comments probably got thrown around initially, especially in the event Ladon found out that Shin was meant to be his predecessor had his development been successful. Things start to get better later on, especially with Leo around, but it takes a while.

- Running with shadowblade’s idea that Leo’s egg could have been laid thousands of years ago, I imagine that Mothra kept the idea that she was pregnant with him a secret from Goji and planned to surprise her mate, but in-between multiple competing Titans, trying to get the already loyal Titans to play nice, mourning those who fell to various threats over the centuries, and simply trying to fix the damage done by Ghidorah, she never had time. Even more unfortunate if Leo’s egg just never showed any signs of hatching, so she had it placed in a shrine or cavern somewhere to wait for that time. By the time Leo DOES hatch well into the modern day, Mothra was already starting to lose hope he ever would.

- Armed with the knowledge that Leo is technically the oldest prince by some thousands of years, Goji and Mothra have made a solemn vow to never tell him. He’d lord it over his brothers forever and they’d never hear the end of it - he already did it when he found out he’s their biological son. There is no telling how he’d behave with the awareness that he’s the firstborn prince.

- Ladon frequently organizes sparring sessions with the other younger Titans, both to work off energy and simply to keep their skills sharp. He even ropes in Suko into it after the events of GxK once he finds out about the little runt. Some like Leo, Shin, or Manda don’t want to go and he usually has to drag them into it - which is ironic in the former’s case, since Leo is probably their strongest fighter.

- Unlike his brothers, insults tend to bounce right off of Leo. It’s not that he’s unaware of them - he simply does not care. Besides, a good way to prevent more insults from being thrown at you is simply to break the insulter’s face as dad always tells him.

- Despite acting like he couldn’t care less, Shin probably has the largest ego of the brothers next to Leo. If you let him get going, he can puff himself up to the point you’d think you were talking with Rodan instead of Godzilla’s quiet, timid son. And he soaks up praise and compliments like a sponge. Dagon and Shimo both note an uncanny resemblance to a younger Ozy in him.

- Leo collects random junk when he’s bored, the weirder the better. Manda could give you a list of all the weird shit Leo has left with him over the years. The most dangerous stuff he scraps. He does it enough that much later on, even Suko joins in alongside Keeta.

- Before he matured, Ladon and Shin often had to follow Leo around since the little larva would keep getting into fights with other more dangerous Titans and both of his brothers wanted to make sure he wouldn’t get carried off by like a Skullcrawler or Ion Dragon or something.

- Leo has made a habit of annoying the shit out of his brothers to get them to do stuff. He especially loves to do it when people are in danger and either Ladon or Shin (or both) are in one of their “humans suck and we shouldn’t help them” moods. It’s amazing how quickly they turn around and help if it gets their brother off their backs. Literally - Leo will stick himself on top of them and pester them until they go.

- Ladon and Shin like to explore the upper layers of the Hollow Earth together as a passtime. It’s one of their favorite bonding activities, especially when it means they can fight some of the hostile Titans or Sub-Titans. They’re specifically told to stay near the surface though, where the older Titans can reach them quickly. Given everything with Skar King, this probably ends up being something that comes into play later - maybe they encounter one of the Red Stripes wandering in the upper layers early on, before everyone else knows Skar King is around or possibly they find Skar King loyalists still skulking about HE well aware their king was defeated.

- Not a Princes headcanon, but Dagon probably had a bit of a breakdown when he got his memories back and realized just how much of an ass he was to his family: treating Goji like he wasn’t even there, pretty much disregarding his other kids, and essentially only focusing on Ozymandias to any real degree. And the awareness of what became of his youngest after Ozy got taken and his own death would likely make him feel even more guilty. Sure, he might understand that this is just how fathers of their kind typically acted but it would not make him feel any better.

It’s why Dagon might end up overcompensating for when he was alive and might try to interact with his family as much as possible now. Telling stories to his grandsons, interacting with his son, spending time with Shimo and asking her to tell him about her time with Ozy, etc. He can’t make up for what he was like back then, but he can try to make a difference now.

Ah, the lads both young and old each have their own baggage, but at least they no longer have to deal with their issues alone, though it’ll take more time for some than others before they trust others and themselves enough to open up.

Ozymandias as SpaceGodzilla can be seen to represent what Shimo could have been if she'd never been freed from Skar King's control and had completely broken. They could easily be Foils if a post-freedom Shimo is in AbraxasVerse SpaceGodzilla's story.

Very true, yeah!

Just saw GxK, and in all honesty, my first thoughts upon leaving the theatre were something to the extent of asking myself how I was supposed to integrate it with what I've already written for The Golden Demise.

Overall, I liked it, and it's great to finally have some solid confirmation about some of my theories. It was great seeing Tiamat, even if I'm distinctly displeased with how they relegated her to a momentary obstacle after setting up her strength in the comics to be on or above Godzilla's level. I'm also happy to see Mothra's return, and have *ideas* about how to fit her history with the Iwi into the established canon. And the existence of the Tribe itself, and the antigravity technology? Hehehe.

Finally, two questions: Does the Abraxasverse Mū have a Hollow Earth portal? We've seen the Warbats and that serpent/eel thing Kong fought, so there's precedent for anguiform creatures down there. But did Manda ever go back and forth?

Secondly, what was the Thunderers' relationship with the great apes? They're similar enough in structure that I could see one of the Thunderers using tools, but was there ever anything specific?

I might need a second viewing to really consider GxK's place in the AbraxasVerse, but for now!

I'm gonna say right now, Scylla and Tiamat can live in AbraxasVerse. Scylla creeps me out and she was fucking around, but that Hubristic Tech Bro in the prequel comic The Hunted started it, and Abraxas Tia doesn't need to deal with the Worf Effect.

I'm going to say yes, Mū did have a Hollow Earth vortex. Now that we know the Great Apes and also the Iwi civilization are in hitherto unexplored areas of the Hollow Earth, this gives me the thought that the Hollow Earth may be even bigger than we think. There could be entire oceans down there with all sorts of aquatic beasties and fauna that can make even the most alien of real life deep sea fish seem like goldfish. It's entirely possible that Manda's species could have explored these unknown regions of the Hollow Earth, or even act as emissaries or messengers between worlds when the need arose.

Hell, why not go the extra mile? What if Mū's people aren't extinct but were evacuated to the Hollow Earth by a member of Manda's species, like his mother, and their descendants have adapted to life down there with all the cultural and technological and physical evolutions that entails?

The Thunderers once could have had a peaceful alliance with the Great Apes, and thanks to their penchant for stone armor could have had some connection to Iwi culture. But Skar King could have played a hand in decimating or enslaving the Thunderer population, forcing many like Thor to move for comparatively safer passages on the surface world... at least until Ghidorah showed up.

Abraxasverse Headcanons - The Titans

Some headcanons of mine about the Titans, specifically their differences. ;)

(1) How Titans understand each-other - As the TV Tropes page on Animal Talk points out on the “Playing With” page and in the first paragraph of the main page, the “all animal species understanding each-other” aspect of the trope isn’t exactly realistic to real animals. Even we humans can only understand our own species’ foreign languages by learning them. But I think there’s a way that the trope can be justified in the case of the different Titan species which all have very distinct-sounding vocalisations: telepathy. We already know Ghidorah, their shed skins and the Many have very potent telepathy that enabled Ghidorah to pick up information like Vivienne’s name in Antarctica, and Mothra seems to show pretty strong telepathy too. Then there’s the KotM end credits’ mention of the links between some ancient humans and Titans being telepathic in nature.

I can imagine that most of the other Earthborn Titans at the very least have some low-level telepathy (how powerful it is varies from species to species, but mostly it’s nowhere near Ghidorah and Mothra’s levels), which is enough to act like a kind of “anti-language barrier crutch” when they’re communicating with Titans outside their own species or Titans they’ve never heard before. It probably isn’t half as effective at bridging human-Titan cross-species communications as it is at bridging Titan-Titan cross-species communications because of some explanation like human neurology being much smaller than Titans’.

(1.5) Fitting with a semi-realistic take on Animal Talk, I can imagine that it’s not just Titans of separate species that need at least low-level telepathy as a language-bridging crutch to communicate. I can imagine it also applies to Titans of the same or very similar species meeting if they’re from different cultures that haven’t interacted in aeons, such as Kong meeting the Scarred Ones.

(2) Why most Titans don’t make technology - Perhaps because, as intelligent as Titans are, sentient species that feel compelled to craft tools and use them to adapt their environment to suit themselves (humans, Kongs, Thor’s species) instead of the other way round, are in the minority. To other Titans, the idea of crafting any tools more sophisticated than, say, hurling a piece of wreckage you find, is just alien. Maybe for some Titans, their mindsets are fundamentally “you adapt yourself to your environment or suffer the consequences,” and “your tools are within (body and biology), not without.”

---

Nice! These make a lot of sense, yeah. It’s also possible that members of any given Titan species can have “accents” - not like human accents obviously, more like the difference between, say, how a European wolf howls vs an American wolf howl. It’s not as noticeable with endlings like Rodan, but might definitely be a factor in species with larger surviving members like the Scarred Ones sounding similar enough to Kong but just different enough to give him pause. Body language is also a key factor, and that alone can vary from species to species as well.
