The Way You Kiss Me
Tumblr media
[Travis "Trapper" Beasley x Female!Reader]
Synopsis: He’s called “Trapper” for a reason.
WC: 1443
Category: Fluff, Lime/Spice
I would say this is a fan service… but, truthfully, I couldn’t help myself. This is a service to myself LMFAO (enjoy the gif of Dan in The Guest since GxK is still fresh in theaters. I cannot wait for this movie to come out in hd quality 🤭)
『••✎••』
Trapper was a bit of a wildcard, in your opinion. You'd known him since your teenage years and had been the one to give him his name. He'd always been a bit of a recluse, even back then. The man was more comfortable around animals than he was with people. The compassion he had for the four-legged beasts was something you had always admired. It was his love of nature and the wild that had drawn you in; you'd never been able to pinpoint why.
That had been over ten years ago, but it felt like no time had passed. You had gone to school, became what you always dreamed of, and moved back to your hometown.
And, of course, it was only inevitable that Trapper would have trapped you.
It hadn't happened right away.
No, it had started slow, like a creeping fog. You didn't even notice it until you found yourself missing the smell of his cologne and his walkman that he still carried around everywhere.
“Yeah, luv, not everywhere's got Wi-Fi, you know?” He would always say, and the thick Australian accent would make your heart flutter.
He was kind, gentle, and a bit goofy. He could sing like a dream (not really, he was quite awful) and was the best vet in the whole world, or at least in your mind. He was utterly perfect on the inside.
And the outside? Well, a pure accident had gotten you two together.
You'd gone into his office, just like every other time, to borrow another of his rare records. Usually, he was there to let you in, but when he wasn't, you were thankful he kept a spare key under the mat.
The office had been quiet, and as you walked through the small space, you frowned, knowing that he never missed a day, even when he was sick.
Turns out your suspicion was right.
His water got cut off, so he swung by the office to shower, and well, you'd gotten to him before he'd managed to change. So, there you were, in your scrubs and lab coat, walking in on him fresh from a shower, wearing nothing but a towel around his waist.
It had been an awkward encounter, to say the least.
Trapper was not a big guy. Sure, he had broad shoulders and was decently strong, but his height was on the shorter side, and his muscles were more toned than they were bulky. He was handsome in his own way, and that was one thing you'd always liked. He didn't look like a bodybuilder or some sort of model. He looked like a normal man.
But the moment you saw him standing there, dripping wet and looking a bit shocked, it was like a switch flipped. Your knees felt weak, and the butterflies that had made their homes in your stomach started flapping their wings, making you feel all flustered and a bit embarrassed.
It made it worse when you realized he had his Walkman hanging around his neck. Dude couldn’t even make it a day without his favorite tunes.
And the fact that you had his favorite record clutched in your arms wasn’t helping.
You were the first to speak.
"S-Sorry, I didn't mean to barge in like this; I was just-."
He cut you off.
"Ah, yeah, forgot to call, didn't I? Water got shut off this morning, thought I'd shower here." He looked around. "Sorry 'bout the mess. Didn't know you were coming by today."
The towel was slipping. You could see his hip bones. You tried to look away, but you couldn't help it. He had such a nice body, and you'd never even noticed it until then.
You shook your head.
"It's fine. I, um, was just looking for one of your records; I didn't mean to."
He raised his hands.
“Settle down, sweetheart, don't get yourself worked up. No harm done."
It was only then that he seemed to realize what was happening. His eyes widened slightly.
"Oh. Sorry, I can just..."
"No, no, it's fine. Go ahead."
It was then that he noticed the album you had clutched to your chest. A smile spread across his face, and he gave you a knowing look.
"Fleetwood Mac… again? How many times is this now? Four?"
You flushed.
"I told you, they're my favorite."
He smiled and shook his head.
"You're lucky I don’t mind sharing. Come on, let's see which one it is."
As he took the album from you, his hand brushed yours, and you couldn't help the jolt that went up your arm.
He didn't seem to notice, thankfully, and instead flipped open the case.
"Ah, Rumours. My personal favorite."
Your heart was racing. You could hear your blood in your ears, and all you could think about was how good he looked in a towel.
He looked up and met your gaze. His lips twitched upwards.
"Welp,” He closed the case and handed it back to you. “Go ahead. It's all yours."
He stepped past you and walked to his office, leaving a trail of water behind him. You stood there, unable to move, just staring after him, the record still held tight to your chest.
"Hey, Traps?" You called.
He appeared in the doorway.
"Yeah?"
"What’re you listening to?"
He grinned and held up his Walkman.
“Toto. I was feeling a bit… nostalgic."
You couldn't help the laugh that came from your lips.
"Of course you are."
His grin was contagious, and he disappeared back into his office, leaving you standing there, feeling like a teenage girl with her first crush. Except the crush didn’t stay a crush for long.
You forget what happened initially, but one minute, you were holding the record out in the hallway; the next minute, you were on the couch in his office, the record discarded on the floor, and his lips were on yours.
You weren’t really sure who had kissed who first, but you had been surprised at his actions, and he had pulled away quickly.
The break was short-lived, and the next thing you knew, you were both making out, his freshly picked out plaid pullover discarded somewhere, and your hands buried in his hair, tugging at the ashy blonde locks as he peppered kisses all along your neck.
His skin was soft, and you could tell he put lotion on. His hair smelled like the shampoo he used, and his breath smelled like coffee and mint.
He had a bit of scruff on his cheeks, and you could feel the hairs brush against your skin. Ticklish, but in a good way.
He had strong hands, and they were running along your sides, pulling your hips against his, and the pressure was enough to make you moan into his mouth.
Nothing further had happened that day. It was his workplace, after all. It's one of the things he actually took seriously. But that didn’t stop you two from doing things in his office on the weekends.
Like now, for instance.
He had you pressed up against the door, his mouth working along your jaw and down your neck, his hands running over your back.
Your head was swimming. You couldn’t think straight. The only thing you could process was him: his touch, his smell, his voice.
You felt him push a leg between yours, and you ground yourself against him.
The groan that rumbled in his chest had you shivering, and you reached for him, fingers grabbing for purchase on his shirt.
He was a sight to behold. Hair mussed from your fingers, lips red and swollen, eyes darkened by lust.
His Walkman was never too far, and as his lips moved back up to meet yours, his hands were fiddling with the buttons. Honestly, it was a miracle he could still find the music while being preoccupied.
The sounds of the first few notes of the song had you smiling.
He pulled away and grinned, eyes sparkling with amusement.
"A fan of this one?"
You didn't answer.
Instead, you took his hand and twirled him, pulling him against you, chests pressed together.
His laughter rang in your ears, and the next thing you knew, you were swaying back and forth, cheek resting against his chest, his chin resting atop your head.
For a little while, you forgot about everything: no work, no big apes or lizards, no giant monsters or crazy scientists.
There was no need for them. Not now.
You were trapped in his arms, and you had no plans of breaking free.

Regulus: Do you now the story of the mouse, the lion and the thorn? James: Yeah. Regulus: Well, there you go, in case we ever meet a monster. James: You know that story’s about the mouse becoming friends with the lion after taking the thorn out of it’s paw though, right? Regulus: No, it’s not. The mouse kills the lion with the thorn. James: Who told you that? Regulus: My mother. James: James: That actually explains a lot.

Your Protector (James Conrad Letter)
Tumblr media
Dedicated to @lokisgoodgirl
youtube
Dear Friend,
I am not one for letters, for I saw no need for them in my past occupation. Yet when I heard it was your birthday I thought it was only fit enough to write you a letter, one that I hope expresses my current wishes of mine to you.
Upon meeting you I was unsure what to think, for the island has left me to mistrust, far more than even the war. And while I can't disclose details of said mission, you can grasp a concept of what that means. Yet meeting you was such a change, you are a star, for never have I met such a woman such as you. For you are a woman who knows what she wants, and shall do anything to get it. Your eyes shine as bright as the day sky, and your friendship is the highest value to me. If you weren't married, I would gladly take you to be mine. Had it not been for your husband confusing for some actor you call Tom Hiddleston, we might've never met. Such a sad thought, as I would not know your friendship, as you stay up and talk me through my thoughts. Listening to me even if I can't give you the full story, your husband being just as grand as you. I truly thank you for the wonderful friendship, and I am sorry that I couldn't be more word-filled. I hope this is enough.
Signed Your Dearest Friend,
James Conrad

Lucky | James Conrad x m!reader
Anonymous asked: im back again 😎😎 (please do tell me if this is too much!!)
"One kiss? For good luck?" w m!reader and james conrad?
- 🌹
summary: Conrad has to go do something, and you can't deny that you're worried about him.
tws: swearing
James was about to do something incredibly dangerous and probably stupid in hindsight; since travelling with him to Skull Island, you had become accustomed to it, though. He wasn't the same on the island as he was back home; back home he was far more calculating and careful, but when chasing down a gorilla bigger than any building you had ever seen, you supposed that the tactics he would use for normal jobs probably weren't applicable. Even still, as his boyfriend, you couldn't help but to be worried about him; he had promised to make you his husband one day, but as time dragged by on the island, you felt like that one day was more like a thousand years from now.
You couldn't resist the urge to pull him close to you, burying his head against your chest as you ran your hand through the hair at the back of his neck, your arm around his waist as you swallowed thickly, audibly.
"You promise you'll be safe?" You asked quietly, chewing at the inside of your top lip.
James nodded, his arms under yours, hands clinging to your shirt just below your neck as he held on. "Of course I will, you know that... I'm always careful."
You frowned, taking in a quiet and shaky breath as you stopped running your hand through his hair. "That's what worries me... you're not as lucky as some people, James."
He pulled away enough to meet your gaze as he smiled, shaking his head. "I have you, that makes me the luckiest man in the world."
"You know what I mean," you grumbled, gently patting his waist as you let go, taking a step back.
"Of course I do," he hung his head for a moment, sighing heavily before looking back at you. "But you really are such a wonderful boyfriend that you do make me feel like the luckiest man in the world."
You rolled your eyes, growling softly as you tried to fight back the smile on your lips. "Don't."
"What?" He purred, tilting his head to the side. "I mean it."
"I know you do, trust me, I know," you huffed, moving to sit on the side of the makeshift bed, which was really just a hammock with a scratchy thin blanket and a jacket folded into a partial pillow. You ran your hand down your face. "But we're... we're going after a gorilla so fucking big that it uses trees as toothpicks and... as much as I trust you, and I'm confident in your skills, this fucking terrifies me. You could get hurt, or, or worse!"
With a quiet grumble, James sat beside you on the hammock, and placed a heavy hand on your thigh; he could understand your feelings surrounding him going off to try and help the others, but all the same, he needed to do it, and he had more than enough training to be able to... but when you looked at him, so hopeless and so frightened, he dared to smile a little.
"How about one kiss? For good luck? Perhaps that would help."
You nodded. "So long as you promise you'll come back safe."
"I can do that," James agreed, straddling your lap. He let out a quiet shudder, his smile lighting up a little when you put your hands on his upper thighs.
He put his hands on your shoulders, and allowed you to initiate the kiss, pleasantly surprised by how rough you were with him, nibbling at his bottom lip and slipping your tongue between his lips, getting him to moan as he melted against you; he could hardly keep up with the way your lips moved against his, and when you moved to pin him down beneath you, he gasped softly.
"(y/n)," he whispered against your lips. "I have to go."
You let out a quiet snarl, getting up off of him and rubbing the back of your neck. "Now?"
"Now," he confirmed, sitting up and fixing his hair. "We can continue when I get back, though."

Kaiju Weeks in Review (March 31-April 13, 2024)
Tumblr media
It took forever (maybe they were waiting on the returns for Godzilla x Kong), but Apple TV+ has finally greenlit season 2 of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. According to its listing on the WGA site, it'll run from 2024 to 2025. Multiple spinoffs are also in development at Apple; no details on those yet.
Speaking of Godzilla x Kong, it continues to do well, staying #1 at the domestic box office in its second weekend and falling to #2 (behind Civil War) in its third. Current totals are $158 million domestic and $437 million worldwide. It'll soon pass the domestic gross of Kong: Skull Island and the total gross of Godzilla vs. Kong.
Tumblr media
Godzilla vs. The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers II #1 promises more of everything: more heroes (the White Ranger joins our heroes from the first comic), more villains (including Psycho Ranger Ghidora up there), and more alternate universes. Godzilla gets a bit buried in all the Ranger antics though.
Tumblr media
A couple of kaiju series debuted on TV too: Kaiju No. 8 and Season 2 of Chibi Godzilla Raids Again. The former followed the manga very closely, and as such didn't really keep my attention; hopefully it innovates a bit more going forward. Chibi Godzilla's as irreverent as ever.
youtube
Tsuburaya Productions has released preliminary information on the next installment of the Ultra Series, Ultraman Arc. The logline:
A town called Hoshimoto City... On Mt. Shishio, there is a gigantic object towering above the city. Named "Monohorn," (モノホーン, Monohōn) it is actually a kaiju’s horn stuck in the ground since an incident 16 years ago. After the incident known as "K-DAY" in which kaiju appeared all over the world at the same time, monster disasters have become commonplace. In Japan, the Global Defense Force (GDF) uses force to deal with them, while SKIP works closely with the community in scientific investigations and evacuation guidance to prevent the occurrence and aggravation of kaiju disasters. SKIP has also been investigating the Monohorn, the horn of the galactic beast Monogelos (モノゲロス, Monogerosu) that appeared on K-DAY. Yuma, then only 7 years old, was camping with his parents in Mt. Shishio when Monogelos attacked. After miraculously surviving unscathed, he decided to pursue research into monster biology. Despite his traumatic past, he has not lost his “power of imagination” to dream. As a rookie investigator, Yuma joined SKIP and was assigned to the Hoshimoto City Branch. Not long after, another large-scale monster disaster occurs in Hoshimoto City. As Yuma sees the desperate people in front of him, a strong will springs into his mind — “I want to protect them!” At the moment when this strong and straightforward desire welled up from the bottom of his heart, Yuma hears the voice of Rution  (ルティオン,  Rution) a being of light that he once saw as a child: “You and I are one and the same… Unleash your imagination!” When a mysterious light appears in Yuma's hand and envelops his body, the unleashed power of imagination unites light and man and he transforms into Ultraman Arc, the Giant of Light who protects the future! Alongside his precious friends, Yuma, as well as Ultraman Arc, races towards his everlasting dream!
Yuma is played by Yuki Totsuka, while Takanori Tsujimoto is the lead director. He's directed for the series since Ultraman X, but this is his biggest assignment to date.
Tumblr media
After beginning to release select Movie Monster Series figures in the States, Bandai America is now fully back in the Godzilla game, with articulated figures, 5-inch vinyls, blind box figures, and transforming eggs all up for preorder at the Godzilla Store and other toy sites. The eggs come from the 2014 Godzilla-E.G. line and the rest is all-new. Not much of a selection so far, but with how big Godzilla is right now, I'm sure there'll be more to come.
Tumblr media
SRS Cinema has opened preorders for its War of the Ninja Monsters: Jaron vs. Goura Blu-ray, due in late July or August. Shinpei Hayashiya's latest epic, it'll come with behind-the-scenes footage and maybe a commentary track, which would be nice given how little information is available about his films online.

416. Gary Gygax - WG6: Isle of the Ape (1985)
Tumblr media
With the prefix WG6, which means it's a World of Greyhawk module, it's another adventure taken directly from Gary Gygax's game as he explains in the foreword. Interestingly it's a part of the Greyhawk campaign that was never actually played as the original players decided not to go there.
Tumblr media
It's always frustrating when a DM sets up an interesting place for players to go and they refuse to do it. The advantage of having your own TTRPG company is that you can then publish that place in a module and sell it, so it wasn't a complete loss. The story as you can imagine from the cover is a straight take on the King Kong and Skull Island story, you get caught in a demiplane in an island where there's a big ape and you need to take your high level party to sort stuff out. 
Tumblr media
This is, as is usual with Gygax adventures aimed at high levels, a bit of a meatgrinder, the island is full of powerful monsters which can easily make your characters into paste and a bunch of spells (particularly those dealing with nature and animals) do not work on this demi-plane. Gygax also designed this to be used with Unearthed Arcana, so you need that book to play this. If you are a fan of King Kong, take your players through this and may god rest their souls.

TRM Round 1: King Kong 1933 (Tyrannosaurus rex) vs. Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers (Tyrannosaurus Dinozord)
Tumblr media
King Kong 1933 (Tyrannosaurus rex) – King Kong is, at least in part, another lost world story. The main difference is, of course, in addition to surviving prehistoric creatures, Skull Island also features an enormous gorilla. While the 2005 film opts for making up its own dinosaurs, and Kong: Skull Island prefers purely imagined creatures, the 1933 original does include many actual dinosaurs, unaltered from how they were envisioned at the time. Though the T. rex does not feature in much of the movie, it nevertheless makes an impact when it is bested in combat by Kong, after attempting to eat Ann, the object of the big ape’s affection.
Tumblr media
Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers (Tyrannosaurus Dinozord) – Piloted by Jason Scott, the original Red Ranger, the Tyrannosaurus Dinozord is a giant robotic vehicle in the shape of a T. rex that is used to do battle with the various villains and monsters that cross the Power Rangers’ paths. Like the other Dinozords, the Tyrannosaurus can be combined to form the Megazord, an even bigger and more powerful robot piloted by the entire team. Interestingly, while the other Dinozords are rarely, if ever, used on their own, the Tyrannosaurus Dinozord is able to defeat opponents in a solo fight and has done so on various occasions in the show.

Ooh, Kaiju power theory- one of my brainrot specialties.
On Shimo: She's huge, said to be crazy physically strong, and manipulates ice. Already a nasty set of powers. But I'd like to divert attention to a few, potentially spoilery images (none of these are leaked images or screenrips- they're all official merch that's been officially revealed. Still, if you wanna go in blind then maybe click off.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We've seen her on all fours most of the time- but that upright one is genuinely fucking scary. It's like if a saber-toothed tiger suddenly got on their hind-legs. And she's actively built to stand up like that, her relatively flat feet are proof of that. She's also not super bulky- she's just huge and more tall than thick. And that arm-length actually makes her look like she can dexterously hold stuff or is capable of more nimble feats than Goji is. I can actually imagine her boxing people out or engaging in very human-esque fighting, similar to Kong but like double his height.
So not only is she like a more well-rounded Godzilla on two legs, but she has what is basically an all-terrain assault form just by dropping down to four legs. Goji can do that too, but his arms just seem too small for it to be truly effective. Shimo's, again, built for both- so much so that we shouldn't be shocked if she breaks into full on four-legged sprints on the ground like, again, a tiger. And with claws like those, I wouldn't even be shocked if she can climb shit. Imagine looking up to one of the Hollow Earth's walls and seeing this shit perched on the walls like a 500 foot spider.
On Frostbite Breath: I'm willing to put money on the fact that the reason this ability is so crazy strong is that so many kaiju are adapted to warm or tropical environments. Kong grew up on Skull Island in the Tropics, Mothra's a giant arthropod from China, Rodan and Goji literally have fire or fire adjacent powers, and we even see the Great Apes chilling in Citadels surrounded by literal molten lava. We've yet to see a cold section of the Hollow Earth, too- so maybe there just literally is no snow down there and it's all similarly warm and temperate. That only makes the prospect of getting hit with a blast of impossibly cold energy so much more deadly, and possibly even lethal if the blast is sustained enough to freeze you completely. Given how old and supposedly experienced she is, I'm willing to be she can get crafty with it too. Ice Rinks to trip up enemies, erecting giant ice crystals that she can them climb on with those aforementioned claws, creating ice storms to act as Snowblinds to cloak her approach, maybe even using that Thaumigizer to smash her own crystals up into shards that act as broken glass. Fuck if she was really smart she'd smash one up and look for a shard big and sharp enough to act as the kaiju equivalent of a shank, hop into two-legged mode and have a knife-fight with Kong or something.
If Goji's adaptable, Kong and Skar are intelligent and/or cunning, then Shimo is Versatile.
(also the above merch are hoodies and a desktop mat respectfully. Some of the merch goes kinda crazy too like peak this shirt)
Tumblr media
(good shit I'd wear that)
If the leaks come in merch form I don't mind, and honestly I'd like those shirts myself...
Honestly, the more we see and learn about Shimo the more impressive (and terrifying) she seems. And I'm not gonna lie, the mental image of Shimo stalking her prey while climbing a cave wall gave me Hereditary flashbacks - didn't see the whole movie, just bits and pieces from work, and let's just say that specific fucking shot fucked up both my sleep schedule and ability to sleep with the lights off for a while... damn, Shimo, Emile-A239 here said it best.

A Pokemon Trainer gets dropped into the Godzilla/Kong Monsterverse, how much chaos will that one person cause?
People from the Pokemonverse is guaranteed to make any normal person's headspin upon comparing the differences between both worlds. Sure the kaijus close a lot of damage but they are like tidal waves about it. It happens yet not all the time. Meanwhile Pokemon are so common that getting zapped by a electric rat or your neighbors fire breathing dog keeps burning your flowers is normal.
Know that church up the hill? Well a living soul eating candle named Mr Funky lives there and has a habit of stealing people's lunches. A Pokemon Trainer would thinks normal while any Monsterverse character will have a thousand mile stare hearing about it. This is just simple slice of life shit I'm talking about here!
A Pokemon Trainer wouldn't be that surprised or scared encountering an actual kaiju. They'll probably even admire them and throw compliments when you think of it. Godzilla surfaces cause the trainer is radiating some strange aura so he's ready to fight the current nuisance.
He ain't prepared to the discover this new disturbance is just an odd human whose giving the big grumpy kaiju compliments and isn't bat shit terrified about being crushed. I definitely think Godzilla is the type to follow someone if they pique his interest so congrats to the trainer for doing it without bringing out their Pokemon. Although Big G is absolutely a possessive fucker when it comes to claims.
The King of Monsters wouldn't feel so offput by PT's team and instead just sorta feel at home. He doesn't exactly fit anywhere but neither do they. Plus they actually behave and not cause trouble unlike most kaiju he knows.
I'm also the type to indulge in the potential chaos of a kaiju being smitten with a Pokemon. (Goodra, Tyranitar, Baxcalibur are a few choices that haunt me if it involves Godzilla. Big G got two paws with Mothra having one.) MONARCH being driven up the wall as they already have to deal with potential offspring from two different kaiju species. They rather not have a third option be added to the mix.
Also the trainer in question is already impossible to track down. They could have a Pokemon like Solgaleo, Hoopa or Lunala to travel between dimensions with ease. Whose to say the trainer also has a 'mon that can use Teleport to escape every ambush MONARCH sets?
Plus dimensional travel has a habit of acting off at times. Like the Trainer could show up on Skull Island during Kong: Skull Island and then later shows up around the time Ghidorah gets freed. Only common factor is that Godzilla or King Kong is involved.
I'm not forgetting about the Pokemon throwing down against a kaiju either. When you consider Dynamax/Gigantamax/Mega Evolutions/etc exist, size absolutely doesn't matter cause a well trained Maushold can beat up Arceus(Pokemon's equivalent to God) with little issue. A Focus Blast to the face will hurt more than a missile.
Imagine how insane it would get if the Pokemon Trainer can utilize Dynamax on their team whenever and wherever. You do collect Dynamax Energy in the form of Watts, Wishing Stones and Wish Pieces in Sword/Shield. Finding a workaround is possible.
Half of MONARCH is about to quit when that small yellow electric mouse turns into a kaiju sized chonker.

Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire Review
Tumblr media
Yay more Godzilla!
Quick rundown on my thoughts of the Monsterverse: I haven't seen the 2005 King Kong movie but I don't know if that counts. I really don't like Godzilla (2014). Skull Island was much better, but had some structural problems. King of the Monsters is the best movie, and probably the second best Godzilla movie ever. (You all know which is the best.) And I watched Godzilla Vs Kong right before going to the theater to see this movie. It was pretty good.
Just like Saints and Sinners, I need to start with a full disclosure: I was somewhat intoxicated watching this movie. I can clearly remember what happened and comprehended the movie, which is why I'm still reviewing it, but I might be nicer than I would be sober. Probably not though, I think I've made it clear in my other reviews I love kaiju movies.
What's The Movie About?
Monarch (the scientists who watch over the giant monsters) receives a signal from Hollow Earth, and with an older Kong goes to investigate. Also Godzilla takes like 3 naps before turning pink and fighting Kong again.
What I Like.
This movie shifts a lot of the focus on the Kaiju characters, specifically Kong. And the physical performances are amazing. There are several scenes of just Kaiju communicating with facial expressions and mime, but you can still tell exactly what the movie is trying to convey and what the characters are thinking. I also didn't mind the human characters. All the humans in this movie (and in the last one thinking about it) are mostly one dimensional, but they have more entertaining personalities and interact in more fun ways. I didn't really like Bernie except when he and Trapper were flirting, but Brian Tyree Henry was really good. My favorite character was Jia, I love that they've kept a deaf character as one of the human leads. Not only that, but she's an adopted character in a happy family. I also liked her mom quite a bit. Anyway, I hope Jia continues to be in the movies. The Hollow Earth people were pretty cool, I liked how their civilization looked and all the crystal spears were cool as well. Of course, the action is awesome. Spoilers, but the finally is basically Godzilla Vs Kong but it's a doubles match and it's so awesome. Also, I joke about Godzilla being pink now, but the entire movie is super neon and colorful. And the Monsterverse should have been like this from the beginning, it's super fun. (Hem hem GODZILLA (2014).) The needle drops in the movie were weird, but I still really liked them. My manager said that the plot seems like it was written by a seven-year-old, and I agree. It's the bet thing about the movie. I'm not saying this to put the movie down! What I mean is it's quite imaginative with the worldbuilding until it randomly gets bored and decides everyone needs to fight a tree. Or that some giant monkeys need to punch each other. And I goddamn love it. Like Godzilla Minus One is obviously super amazing and a better movie in almost every regard to all of the Monsterverse movies, but it is nice to have a movie that just goes "Godzilla now fights a giant squid-crab" at the twenty minute mark for absolutely no reason.
What I Didn't Like.
I'm mixed on using conspiracy theories as world building. On one hand, the Hollow Earth is cool! But on the other, aren't you somewhat giving legitimacy to people who actually believe that stuff, which at best is lending credence to anti-intellectualism, at worst inadvertently supporting harmful ideas? The movie also clarifies that all Titans are supposed to be the same species, which I find to be really weird since about half of the titans look like lizards, a third look like bugs, and one of them is supposed to be the Loch Ness Monster. The movie also missed a great opportunity for a classic Godzilla callback but I won't say what it is because it's a spoiler.
Final Summation.
Just like all the other good Monsterverse movies, Godzilla X Kong is good fun! I'd say it's better than the last one but still not as good as King of the Monsters. I really like the new direction though, bright neon colors, ridiculous plots, and just plain cool moments loosely strung together is what these movies should have been from the beginning, frankly. Excited for more!

I already ranted about this a little on Twitter and I wanna rant on here too! I just binged all of the animated show Skull Island on Netflix and all I have to say is...
Why can't Kong keep a girlfriend!? Either he dies, or she dies, everybody dies, or they end up seperated 'for thier own good and happiness' 😑
Like just let him have his little micro bride! 😤 There's nothing wrong with big strong King having tiny Queen to adore and protect!
I loved Kong the most in the Peter Jackson's film with Jack Black, and I cried so hard when Kong gave his life for her thinking she needed protection! The look in his eyes as she held his hand for the last time killed me! And you know what, there was love there! I swear up and down she loved him too—maybe not in the conventional way but still!
Imma be honest Kong in his interpretations feels more like a monster to me, not so much a giant animal like so many like to classify him, if that makes sence? Like has the same intelligence and sentience level as a human but lacks the ability to communicate. (Not saying that animals themselves aren't intelligent or sentient, just his is in a way that humans themselves can understand)
I'll say it again for the peeps in the back! JUST LET THERE BE MACRO/MICRO HAPPINESS 😤 LET KONG HAVE LOVE FOR CRYING OUTLOUD!
This has me fuming so bad I have to project and imagine this as another UT au idea just so I can feel better lol
Giant skeleton Sans as Kong—
Let tiny bride Reader ride in his palm or on his clavicle, sleep in his ribs while he sleeps with a little hammock tied up between the bones or a sleeping mat on his vertabre—or even his skull, hanging out in his socket like a cavern sfae from the world or riding in it as he goes into battle! Can you imagine? Someone trying to reach for Reader and Sans snapping his lid shut and fighting with one palm over it the whole time with his other lit in rage!? ❤️
And I like ths idea of having Sans unable to talk or write! Half the fun is trying to figure out his thoughts from the tiniest micro expressions or his seemingly blank staring. Reader confessing how much they love him but yelling how conflicted they are over it because they're different species and how could that possibly work, all the while Sans just wears his perpetural smile but his eyelights enlarge slowly as his heart thunders in his ribs but the enlarging isn't noticable because they're already so large to Reader's perspective 😩
Let people wonder if he enjoys the newly harvested tomatos as a sacrifice as he simply tosses it back with no reaction just as he does every other sacrifice he's given! (He totally does but who can tell? His smile hasn't twitched or anything) Only reader is able to deduce his enjoyment because the next sacrifice is corn and he huffs. Doesn't react beyound that as he tosses that back too. Makes his grin twitching at the corners all that more enjoyable when Reader purposefully encourages the tribes to offer tomatos again. He tosses it back and the tribesmen are confused cuz he looks like normal 😂
I just...ugh!
It really feels like Kong is cheated a lot in these shows and movies, I hate it 💀 At least I can imagine Kong-Sans is happy, poor boy 🥺

My favorite creature designs are the ones you can spend hours imagining the anatomy and evolutionary history of. Something that looks evolved instead of designed if that makes sense.
Tumblr media
From a design standpoint the Xenomorphs are some of the best alien concepts I've ever seen. It's an arthropod trying to be a vertebrate, a parasite so adaptable that it incorporates the features of its host. It's otherworldly but still comprehensible. It's extremely alien with organs and features and abilities we don't fully understand and aren't like anything on earth, but it still looks and acts like something that'd evolve naturally. In a genre filled with 'humans but slightly different" aliens, it's the cream of the crop.
Tumblr media
Most werewolf designs are too much wolf and too little were, but the Harry Potter design really mixes the two together to create something super uncanny and gives me vibes of a giant cursorial baboon.
Tumblr media
Modern dragons are a chimeric monster, made from mixing lizards and bats and goats and more, but Smaug goes back to the myth's origins of exaggerating real venomous reptiles. He looks like a monitor evolving into the modern dragon, paralleling the evolution of the real myth.
Tumblr media
The graboids are the perfect version of the death worm archetype. They're big but not ridiculously so, they look and move like desert animals, and their anatomy is unique but based on real animals. My appreciation for them mostly comes from a tie-in website which called them Devonian land cuttlefish which is just... so ridiculously cool.
Some bonus creatures that I think capture this idea too include the Skull Crawlers from Kong: Skull Island, lots of the critters in King Kong 2005, the Wargs and Mumakil from TLOTR, basically everything from Monster Hunter, and the Legendary Godzilla.
