bare w me yall im still figuring out the ropes to tumblr LMAO
what would happen if pim and charlie from smiling friends were hired to make ren smile again
pim and charlie would only be needed in the days leading up to chapter 17 because after that ren is living his best life.. even at the cost of the rest of the world đ
The Haneda Airportâs terminal buzzed with the serene sound of announcements and the clatter of luggage wheels every now and again. The cherry blossom air fresheners did little to hide the dead scent of jet fuel and stress.
The lilac, energetic, bright-eyed creature bounced on his heels while waving around a tourist pamphlet covered in cartoon Mount Fujis. âCharlie, Charlie, did you know you can rent a cafĂ© where you just cry with strangers? Japanâs amazing! They even have toilets that sig to you!â Pim exclaimed, however, Charlie was nowhere nearly as impressed. âYeah, yeah, great. Donât forget this country also bayoneted pregnant women in Nanking. Try not to fall in love with the scenery too fast..â Charlie grumbled, âOof, Charlie, youâre really good at killing in the mood. That was almost one hundred years ago.â Pim muttered, âYeah, well, traumaâs hereditary. So, buckle up, bud.â Charlie deadpanned as a sleek, black car waited on the curbside. High-rise towers glinted in the sun, though none as cold and isolated as the one they were approaching.
A womanâ Mira Yamane stood chic and composed, but clearly desperate outside with a tablet, her hair was pinned back in a way that implied she hadnât slept in days. âYouâre the Smiling Friends, right?â Mira affirmed with a raised brow, âThatâs us! You want us to help your husband smile? Thatâs what we do best!â Pim confirmed with a beam, âWe also clean up crime scenes, once.. But yeah, smiling.â Charlie cut in, Miraâs eyebrows straightened up while her lips pursed into a thin line, gaze narrowing if anything. âJust.. Do what you can, Ren hasnât smiled since he tore a Skullcrawler in two.â Mira urged, Pim and Charlie followed her inside the building where their client, Ren Serizawa sat at a table in the dead center of a brutalist room. Everything was made up of cold steel, concrete, and black curtains. Unusually enough, a flatscreen of Monster Zero tearing through Antarctica.
One odd thing to note about Ren was he wore sunglasses indoors, though the pair quickly learned it was not out of an odd fashion choice, but necessity. A dull, hopeless hum followed him like a storm cloud hanging over his head, he was clad in a designer trench coat, whatever was left of his right eye hidden beneath a matte black eyepatch, cigarette burns staining the table. âYouâre the clowns she hired?â Ren alleged, turning to meet their gazes. âWeâre more like emotional hitmen, she wants us to shoot you full of serotonin or whatever.â Charlie corrected, Ren stared blankly for a moment. âIâve been electrocuted, shrapnel drilled into my right eyeball, and sued by the Chinese government.â Ren trailed off, listing it off with his fingers. âNot now.â Ren suddenly added, talking to seemingly himself. âUh, you good?â Charlie dared to ask, exchanging a glance with Pim. âPeachy. Letâs go, I have a meeting with Shindo.â Ren grumbled, he didnât seem keen on bringing them along but probably figured he could get a refund since he was in no position to lose money with the pending terrorist charges.
Shindoâs law firm was a shrine dedicated solely to ego, wealth, and influence. The walls were adorned with polished mahogany bookshelves, each shelf meticulously arranged with legal tomes and decorative artifacts meant to impress, a framed photo of Shindo shaking hands with a panicking Prime Minister during the Mass Awakening hung like a self-congratulatory obituary. âI personally oversaw the evacuation of the previous Prime Ministerâs twin daughters while Yamata No Orochi chased a cruise ship, people call me a national treasure.â Shindo boosted, âWow! Thatâs so heroic!â Pim raved, however, Charlie noticed something over Renâs shoulder and looked nothing short of disturbed. âYou know thereâs three dragon heads behind Ren, right? Like, whispering stuff? Does nobody else see that?â Charlie pondered, Shindo froze, a rare moment of silence radiating from the egoist. âWhat..?â Shindo muttered, Pim looked over Renâs shoulder, making eye contact with the leftmost head. âTheyâre like.. Kind of shadowy and floaty. They kind of sound like the drag queen from Powerpuff Girls.â Pim noted, âYeah, and one of âem told me I smell like fear. Kinda rude.â Charlie flatly cut in, Shindo squinted at them, then directed his gaze toward Ren, who managed to look just as clueless as Shindo despite knowing good and well.
Rain streaked across the windshield like falling veins, Pim sat shotgun, pressing his face to the window like a kid in a candy store, Charlie lounged in the back beside Ren. âCharlie, did you know the Tokyo Tower was inspired by the Eiffel Tower?â Pim asked, âYour friend is very educated.â Ren deadpanned, the phrase: âThey are insects, let us feast.â slipping out of his tongue in a voice that wasnât his own, Charlieâs eyes widenedâ almost comically if it werenât for the situation. âOkay, what the hell was that? Did.. Did your mouth just talk but like, not you?â Charlie pondered, desperately glancing at Pim for help. âThatâs.. Normal for me now.â Ren assured.
Once they arrived at Renâs residenceâ a modern Japanese home only nepo-babies like himself could afford, surprisinglyâ Ren had invited them to crowd around a tablet, Dr. Vivienne Graham was onscreen, running for her life, screaming as Ghidorah chomped her into a blur of viscera and broken bones. âShe deserved it, you know? Always clinging to my father just because her father died before she was born. She got the pats on the back, the phone calls, I got a âshe would understandâ after my own mother died.â Ren ranted, the shadows behind him twitching with glee as if they were capitalizing on his anger. âTo this day, I donât know what she had that I didnât, whatever my father saw in herâ he didnât see in me. Iâm sure you all donât want to hear about the cliche story of the father who forgot about his son,â Ren trailed off, eyes glued to the video like an elderly woman with AI-generated Facebook memes. âHey, Charlie, Heâs doing that anime villain monologue thing!â Pim pointed out, âYeah, about any second now heâs gonna yell about âa world purified by chaosâ or something like that.â Charlie grumbled, Ren cut them off with an actual bark of a laugh. âOh god.. Youâre.. Youâre both morons.â Ren muttered, following shared silence between Pim and Charlie. âWait.. Did he just?â Pim alleged, glancing at Charlie to ensure whatever was floating over Ren didnât latch onto them as well. âMission accomplished, I guess?â Charlie mumbled, âI havenât in.. I donât even know how long, not since I tore into Skullcrawler number ten, before Mira started buying sage to exorcise me with.â Ren trailed off, and in that moment, he leaned back, head against the wall with the shadows of three dragon heads accelerated against the wall, eye closed beneath his sunglasses.. A smileâ crooked and bitter, but genuine spread across his lips.
i should be writing ch 23 for ghidorahs voice but unfortunately im shedding tears over the most basic geometry ever.
i actually encourage this bc wdym u liked my fic sm u wanted to make ur own spin on it??

ALAN GRANT IS COMING TO THE MONSTERVERSE
THIS IS NOT A DRILL I REPEAT NOT A DRILL
i cant wait for gxk3!!!!!
Just wanted to say I have fallen in love with your series of Ghidorahs voice. Truly it is a masterpiece and I love the buildup when Ren was going to join the Xiliens. And the way you characterize Ghidorah is absolutely fabulous. Hats off to you!!
AWWWW THANK YOUU
after ghidorahs voice im defo writing a renfic that dabbles into body horror instead of psychological horror , anyway im updating my thangyu fic and ill prolly get to work on ghidorahs voice at some point
What have ghidorah and ren taught eachother abt life as a titan and life as a human respectively?
considering ren and ghidorahs dynamic in âghidorahs voiceâ is very much âan enemy of my enemy.. is my friendâ dynamic, ren couldnât give less of a shit abt ghidorahs worldviews and iirc in the gvk novelization, ren was content w enslaving the remaining titans once godzilla fell, so had ghidorah been there, he prolly wouldve enslaved ghidorah wo batting an eye.
ghidorah has taught ren that his own humanity is holding him back and imprinted several of his worldviews onto ren (the gvk novelization implies ren was further corrupted by his repeated exposure to ghidorahs remnants) hell, ghidorah taught ren not to feel any guilt abt leveling hong kong and indirectly killing 4000 people, rather taught ren to feel ashamed he was caught and could very well end up in prison.
on the other hand, ren has taught ghidorah a big skillâ patience. ren, among other things, dealt with walter simmons for over a decade and his resentment towards the world in general built up, ren waited his whole life to get revenge and ghidorah (ni and san more specifically) learned that revenge is a dish best served cold, additionally, ichi and ni pretty much agree w all of rens views on social, political, economical stuff because they havent been introduced to anything else meanwhile san accessed the worldwide web during his brief time as mechagodzilla.
