Hey, so idk if I ever asked you this one, but here it goes. Aside from Ghidzilla, which Kaiju pairings do you enjoy the most? I personally have a soft spot for Mothdan, since it can operate on a similar wavelength to Ghidzilla as far as tropes and dynamics go, while also having it's own unique flare to it. I also think it would be very convenient for Mothra to wind up with Rodan while Goji and Ghidds are too busy dancing around each other.
You got me buddy with this question so I'll answer with much honesty and maybe a tid bit of saltiness.
Apart from the chokehold Ghidzilla had me in the last year, I don't really care about other ships. They are all beautiful and good in their own rights and merits.
Mothdan, Rodzilla, Mosudorah, even all 4\6 together can work for me. Ships are essentially tools to produce happy chemicals in the brain. Ship wars are the most utterly, senseless and harmful things ever invented.
Nobody should never harass someone cause they don't make the contents you(generic) want.
Now back to your question (and counting all I have seen during my almost 2 years in the godzilla fandom), I think it really depend by how you decide to characterize the characters.
Cause I have seen Rodan painted in many, many ways: as cruel as Ghidorah, meek and submissive, a total bitch, pathetic.
Some treats Rodan as he was the only "traitor", not like he basically bought time to Goji to come all his way from Antartica and almost beat Ghidorah. Starscream my a**!!!
And Mothra is Godzilla's gal. And other things, but mostly that. I wish I was oversimplifying (and maybe I'm, cause is like 3 a.m here, maybe my brain is on low battery)
Me being biased on the treatment of rodan and the m*th*illa ship and its effects on the fandom apart , as I said earlier is really up to you.
If Rodan feels guilty and seeks repentance, maybe he could go to Mothra, or maybe Mothra wants to make sure Rodan is not a danger and staying on the straight. Mybe Rodan is really preggo from the sting ( god this joke haunts me) and baby is on the way.
Endless possibilities 🎇✨🎇✨
In account of my personal headcanons they would that couple:
Mothra: (tired but yet amused voice) You're an idiot.
Rodan( shit-eating grin on the face, wings wrapped around her) Sure, but I'm also your favorite idiot.
Something like that.
We're talking about characters that have been around more than 60 years and each time they have been different in a way.
Now go and make your own. Wear the costumes, pull the strings and tell your story!!
Let me know if you are satisfied with my answer and pardon me if I use it to remove a pebble from my shoe.
Well, the kaiju ship I ship most is Mothollante, but everyone’s already given their thoughts on that so yeah. Has a lot of the pros of Mothzilla with few of the cons, as well as the wonderful aesthetic of a genetically-engineered abomination and a goddess of nature. There’s also the obligatory puns about flowers and butterflies, and Mothra-based hurt/comfort and fluff which is one of my favorite kaiju fan plots.
Mothzilla’s… alright when handled in a certain way, but it’s a “the ship is fine but why is it everywhere” type of thing. And with the MonsterVerse especially, their relationship is better if it’s platonic. All in all, I don’t really ship it, unless a particular person’s take leans to the “humanity’s sins and nature’s virtues” aspect of both of them.
Gong’s pretty good. Tired old men being tired together.
Rodorah’s pure arson and anarchy and I value it for that, but no way is that dynamic anything approaching healthy. I ship it for the lolz.
I’ve jokingly shipped Legion from Gamera and Destroyah together before. Two big buff arthropod ladies.
Angzilla has the same benefits as Gong, really, but with more Showa craziness.
I find Kongzillra to be a funny threesome, esp. because GvK would have been over in ten minutes if Mothra was there to slap some sense into Goji, to calm Kong down, and to alert the humans to Mechagoji/Ghidorah.
2MUTO is the kaiju ship I like second most, it gets points for being the only canon kaiju couple I can think of outside of the two OG Rodans, and also because I just love the MUTOs in general. Fr though, those two bugs were so sweet together, and I do think they had as much if not more chemistry than the human leads. Anyone who says that Femuto would have committed mate cannibalism on Hokmuto can face my wrath. MUTOs are clearly designed to fight, hunt, and live in pairs (therefore it makes no sense for her to kill and eat him), and it’s entirely possible they’re like crocodilians (i.e. female raises the kids and protects the nest, male brings her and the wittle babies food. Babies stay with the parents for several years until they can live on their own, and may stay within the parents’ territory for several more years. But now I’m going on one of my MUTO ecology headcanon rambles again…)
That’s all I can think of for now, have fun with these and have a nice day!
ooh this is a long one
- I think the funny thing about the hurt/comfort fluff is I only really like it with the Heisei Mothra. For some reason, maybe because she starts out as a larva, she always seemed a bit less like a goddess to me and more like a really caring person just fighting for what they love. While I read other Mothras as more closed off and unsure in social situations because of their attachment to world peace, Heisei Mothra feels more sociable and peppy, and thus capable of committed relationships
- continuing that, Mothzilla I have never really been a fan of, and I think Goji and Mothra being friends is far more interesting. They care so much and mean so much to each other, but it’s because they value their friendship, and neither of them have really had a relationship like that before. They started off as a business relationship and got closer over time, and I think their friendship is very sweet.
- Kongzilla is (usually) very relaxed old man yaoi and I like that a lot
- If you read my other previous ask about Rodorah, you’ll know how I feel about it. Very wacky very goofy very arson.
- Y’know what, I totally think Legion could get it. She’s pulled tons of arthropod ladies before.
- Again, relaxed old man yaoi, I like that a lot. For them it’s way more like, they’ve been friends for so long and have only gotten closer over time, and everyone’s wondering whether they’re official or not, and maybe they won’t say it out loud cause they don’t want the attention, but they are.
- I had a pretty brief Kongzillra phase and that was pretty fun. Mostly used for laughs and silly shipping dynamics where there’s no bad blood. They’re a power throuple.
- The MUTOs are so cute to me, the part where they meet each other in Chinatown, call to each other, nuzzle, and sync up their vocalizations when they kiss lives in my head rent free. It’s too bad Godzilla hates straight romance, because they were a very adorable and committed couple. (I also would be super into any MUTO ecology posts if you’re offering)
(this clip. this clip right here. the sound design, the cuteness, chefs kiss.)
You already a thousand from the fandom, but yes you still can Goji.
This actually came from the the episode “Mama Star” of Star vs. the Forces of Evil. I’m also a Starco trash so I fused my two ships into this! (BTW their child is my Mothzilla baby)
I have seen many wonderful drawings about what the offspring of Goji and Mosu would be like, and I remember Raksagat, he deserves to be drawn again, this time i just changed his little "wings"
This is Èrzi, which some of my followers might remember this name.
He's a sweetheart and just adorable chunky lil boy. Always hungry too. He's much more of a Daddy's boy more than anything (Mostly because Goji just adores his son and spoils him rotten).
Yes, Goji is hella emotional, especially after he becomes a parents.
The first one if anthro MOTHRA, wearing a traditional Chinese hanfu. She looks very pretty in it. Plus Momthra with baby Molla. And Godzilla, waiting for his Queen to emerge from her
