since my pacific rim brain rot doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon, i'm thinking about how losing your drift partner while still connected to them through the neural handshake is the cruelest way to lose anyone ever. even crueler when you consider ghost drifting. so after all those years of piloting together how much of yancy's mannerisms thoughts etc has raleigh retained? has he dreamt yancy's dreams? how much of him is now yancy too? yes, raleigh might have lost a piece of himself when yancy died, but it's also the way yancy's ghost will forever be inside his head (in a very literal sense). he has to grieve someone who will live inside him forever and that makes me very sad because how are you supposed to move on from that?

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.

for the pacrim requests: how about anything with mako and raleigh! platonic or romantic, dealer’s choice!
bonus: could even be a happier world where yancy is still around and is Peak Older Brother 🥰
love that the pacific rim brainrot is still around!
Yes! The brainrot is very much still around, it got its hooks in me deep XD
In which Yancy survived but had to leave piloting behind due to injuries from the fight (scars, lost an eye, etc.) He’s visiting the Hong Kong Shatterdome after his baby bro and badass Mako helped save the world
Tumblr media
Thanks for sending in a request!

A little something for Knifehead Day 🙃
Tumblr media
After his first Drift with Yancy, Raleigh clung to his brother for hours. It didn't seem to matter that they spent most of their time before they Drifted brawling rather than hugging; he practically cried when they had to be separated.
The Drift changed Yancy, too. He didn’t protest when Raleigh dragged him to bed, forcing him to sleep on the bottom bunk in a tangle of limbs.
So Raleigh wasn’t surprised to feel a surge of affection for his new co-pilot, who was sitting on a catwalk in the jaeger bay and basking in the glow of Lady Danger’s heart.
But Mako looked terrified. Her pupils were blown wide, and her eyes darted so quickly around the jaeger bay that it made Raleigh dizzy.
It was the R.A.B.I.T. chase all over again.
“Mako, hey,” he whispered.
Her eyes found him. Panic left her gaze, but her body stayed tense. The knuckles gripping the grates of the catwalk were white.
The Ghost Drift might have made him more aware of her emotional state, but it couldn’t help him read her mind yet.
“Talk to me, Mako.”
Instead of words, she let out a sob.
Raleigh instinctively reached for her, coming to his senses too late to stop himself. Mako flinched at his touch.
He drew back. Of course she wouldn’t find his touch comforting. They hadn’t figured any of this out yet. They hadn’t even figured out how to Drift together.
Raleigh’s throat hurt with the effort of swallowing a sob. The rejection hurt, sure, but that wasn’t what hurt the most. It was the realization that a familiar face was missing from this familiar place.
In the split-second his instincts took over, he had forgotten what he’d been trying to come to terms with for five years and four months: Yancy was gone. And he was alone.

According to the pacrim wiki, Coyote Tango was the first jaeger the program lost. By that time, Pentecost and Tamsin were not piloting anymore. It was June, 2016.
The order of pre-knifehead fallen jaegers is:
- Coyote Tango. Destroyed in combat against Itak. On its second set of pilots. June, 2016.
- Victory Alpha. Destroyed in combat against Raganarok. The pilots survived. July, 2016.
- Tacit Ronin. Abandoned because its pilots died of neural overload. July, 2016.
- Lucky Seven. Abandoned because one of its pilots was decommissioned. 2019.
Following this pic from the wiki:
Tumblr media
We know that the first jaeger was launched in 2015 (Brawler Yukon) and the last in 2019 (Striker Eureka).
The golden age of the jeager program was from 2017 to 2019, three years of gaining more than they were losing. The peak was in 2019, with 20 active jaegers. The bottom was in 2025, with no jaegers left.
2024 was the year with more deaths, with 8 j-pilots going KIA. Then 2025, with 7 deaths between the Double Event that killed both Cherno and Crimson, and Operation Pitfall, who claimed Pentecost and Chuck.
Between 2019 and 2023 there were 9 KIAs.
Which means Yancy was the first jaeger pilot to die on combat. It makes sense, given the reaction of Penecost to hearing that they had lost Gipsy's signal (and Yancy was dead).
It marks:
- 2019-20: 1 lost jaeger, 1 pilot KIA.
The list of fallen jaegers Post-Knifehead:
- 2020-21: 2 lost jaeger, 1 pilot KIA.
- 2021-22: 3 lost jaegers, 2 pilots KIA.
- 2022-23: 2 lost jaegers, 3 pilots KIA.
- 2023-24: 8 lost jaegers, 2 pilots KIA.
- 2024-25: 0 lost jaegers, 8 pilots KIA.
- 2025: 4 lost jaegers, 7 pilots KIA.
Let's compare all this info with the following Kaiju War Timeline from the wiki:
Tumblr media
A) 2013-2014: The Feral Burst. There were no jaegers yet to defend humanity against the 3 kaijus that invaded the world.
B) 2015-2019: The Long Game, Part I. There were 24 jargers up around this period, with a total of 13 kaijus making contact.
Special mention to the Beckets, who got an impressive mark of 5 kills during those years. It means they helped killed more than a 1/3 of those bastards during the golden era of the jaeger program. For what I see, Raleigh is the only pilot who had ever abandoned the jaeger program because he wanted to, not because he was hurt or kicked out.
C) 2020-2023: The Long Game, Part II. The amount of kaijus who invaded in those three years equals the amount of kaijus who made contact within the first 6 years of the war. It means the precursos sent as many kaijus in half the time. Humanity went into this phase with 19 jaegers. By the end they had 4.
2024 reports 13 kaiju attacks. It makes sense that they lost 8 jaegers and 10 pilots more or less in that year. With 12 jaegers active, it is more than a 1vs1 situation. Something tells me that most of Striker Eureka's kills were during this phase.
Special mention to the Hansen, btw. *During Chuck active years, he participated in almost third of the kaiju killings that happened then. I don't know Lucky Seven's score in this race, but *Herc's win amount to a 1/4 of the whole kaiju fights during his active time.
*The count stops at Mutavore. It does not include the Double Event or Pitfall.
If we include Post-Mutavore but not their participation/assistant at killing Leatherback:
- Chuck: 11 kills, 35 kaiju appereances during his active career (almost a 1/3).
- Herc: 12 kills, 44 kaiju appearances (not counting 2016 and adding at least 2 kills of the Lucky Seven era; around a 1/4).
Yet again, if by statistics alone, Mako is the most winning jaeger pilot of the movie. In her active years there had been 5 kaijus and she has helped kill 4. It's worth mentioning that her debut was on a double event followed by a triple event, with the only Category-5 ever saw. Impressive, to say the least.
On the other hand, Raleigh has helped kill or killed himself almost half of the kaijus that had appear on his active years.
Here: (ratio is 19-20 kaijus, 9 kills).
- 2025: 6 kaijus, 4 kills.
- 2015-2019: 13-14 kaijus, 5 kills.
The Hansens record is impressive just in the sheer size of their killing count, which is still not complete given I don't have the info on Lucky Seven. Meanwhile, Raleigh and Mako are impressive for the efficiency record.
Of the 51 kaijus that invaded the Earth, Gipsy and Striker combine to 20 kills. That means 2/5 of the total.
The last three j-pilots hold the best or most insane records of the program. Herc with the most wins, Mako with the best efficiency and Raleigh fucking Becket who had solo piloted twice and explode a jaeger in another world.

I made this like, nine years ago and it is still relevant.
(I say, having not even been to bed yet and only noticing the time change because my phone clock changed but my bedside alarm clock did not as it has to be manually set.)
