Newton X Hermann - Tumblr Posts
Happy ten years to Pacific Rim!
I am so glad to have found this film, even if I'm a decade late :v
Also please I need a spin off for these two bc they've been living rent free in my brain for months now (i have so many aus and crossover ideas it's not even funny)
More Newmann stuff
I am going feral over these two someone please help
I have so many aus and crossovers for these guys and I really want to do further work for all of them, but my headcanons and story ideas just keep coming and my sketchbook is almost done help
More Newmann stuff
The Secret World of Newt
Pacific Rim x The Secret World of Arrietty, aka one of the many crossover ideas that have been haunting me these past few weeks
I have a whole plot in mind for this au, but for now just know that Newt lives under the Gottlieb country house, where Hermann used to spend his summer breaks as a kid. Adult Hermann has now moved into the house permanently, much to Newt's chagrin...
This drawing gave me so much grief, I'm so glad I managed to finish it :v
More Newmann stuff
The first (newmann) crossover I drew stuff for: Pacific Rim x Subnautica
Some must have already done this, right? It fits too well imo
(ignore the wonky lighting, I have been longing for a scanner for weeks now)
More Newmann stuff
At first, Hermann makes an improvised soundboard for Newt to "speak" through. I'm sure they won't find ways to bicker with just buttons...
Kaiju Newt AU
idk if you read fanfiction but hal_incandenza on ao3 got some of the best newmann fics out there... seriously, these might be so up your alley
I am a big fanfic reader, so thank you so much for the rec! I started reading "Transducer" and although I initially struggled with the writing style, I soon really got into the plot, and I ate it up.
!!!!!! RAMBLE/SPOILER WARNING: From here I'll actually ramble about the fic itself, so I'd recommend going and checking it out for yourselves if you haven't already :]
My random thoughts with no context:
I really liked the whole sequence when Hermann "breaks into" Newt's apartment, and it conjured up some specific colour palettes that I tried to actually recreate. And the plant in the sink, oh man, funnily enough that was already something I was thinking about previously, so to have it described so well was really nice.
The jacket switch was a very fun idea!
I really thought that Wesley was going to be some kind of double-agent/mole, I was convined that his incompetence was actually a front.
I love that the jammer comes back into play at the end, and that it ties back to the very start and the "wrong clocks".
Even though getting rid of it was the sensible thing to do, I'm very sad that the transducer is only properly used once... I was convinced that the story was going to integrate its actual use in the plot.
The anxiety that chapter 19 gave me was amazing, but to me the ending fell a bit flat: I didn't really jive with the final reveals and such, but oh well, I still had an amazing ride :)
Thank you so much again!
More Kaiju Newt bc I love him very much.
I just like drawing that beautiful muzzle of his
Kaiju Newt AU
Your Kaiju!Newt design looks so cool. How does he end up like that?
Thank you so much!!!! And sorry for taking so long to reply :v
Newt has been locked up for months, and Jake Pentecost is becoming desperate, because they're making no progress with getting info out of Newt. Since the events of the film, the real Newt hasn't resurfaced once, and everyone is convinced that he's just an empty husk now.
When Hermann discovers that they're going to start torturing Newt as a last resort, he manages to get a final visit with him and makes a desperate last plea to Newt to do something, anything, terrified tears in his eyes.
(i tried drawing it but it looks kinda shit and i gave up halfway, oh well)
(you can't see it in these panels but Newt is still restrained)
Newt has no reaction, and Hermann gets dragged out of Newt's cell.
But unbeknownst to anyone, Newt did actually hear Hermann, and it gives then the strength try something new...
And that is all I'll say for now! Sorry for not actually answering your only question yet, but if I manage, I'd like to try and draw what happens, hope you're ok with waiting some more :]
I don't think I've posted this yet, so here, have some Newmann studies I did based on some screenshots from Arrietty (mostly).
Working on this au feels like making and eating comfort food :>

Kaiju!Newt being a bit of an animal
