My Passion Project Turns 1 Month Old Tomorrow

my passion project turns 1 month old tomorrow

sooo heres some more not nessacairly organized notes for the ghidorahs voice universe!!

- (pre gvk) mira used to leave sticky notes with sweet msgs in rens lab since their hours were different, he pretended to find it annoying but kept them everytime 😭

- its not a fic of mine if there arent lgbtq characters soo.. ghidorah as a whole is aroace, he’s too evil to feel love and would only be with someone if he had something to gain from it, ren/x is demiromantic (meaning he rarely feels romantic attraction, and when he does, its because the relationship started as a friendship), maia is omnisexual with a female lean, rodan and gigan are gay, ill go on to edit this laterr

- ghidorah recognizes they hit a jackpot with ren, its not everyday someone with bordering genius intellect hellbent on revenge on your ancient rival who you also despite willingly dawns a helmet establishing a connection with your brains. ghidorah felt a lot of glee when their unwilling puppet turned out to be probably the most capable person of building them a new body in addition to hating the same lizard they do, meaning they could capitalize on his hatred and bring him closer to them out of desperation.

- in all actuality, ren/x didn’t escape the courtroom in chapter 8, he was hauled off to a jail under monarchs supervision without any problems, fleeing the courtroom, going to bernie for help, and being cornered by a demonic manifestation of himself in 2024 was all a hallucination induced by ghidorah. the demonic manifestation saying ‘we’ve been waiting for you for such a long time’ represents how ghidorah was trapped with ren in the three year coma, waiting for him to claw his way out. 2024 ren as a whole represents the last time ren serizawa was alone in his own head, the neurolink helmet showcasing how he welcomed ghidorah with open arms, intentionally or not, ghidorah is inside him now.

- since i took inspiration from princess burn from wings of fire when expanding upon ni’s personality, he has an odd fasinication with all things dead and instincts on keeping sans several severed heads, which creeps the hell out of san, but ni considers it the only leverage against san since san makes it his mission to piss ni off and get him off task.

- when creating sans personality, one of the points i made was to NOT downplay the fact he willingly attempted to destroy the world. i feel when writers baby san, it takes away from the fact ghidorah represents satan in a lot of ways and this is godzillas greatest rival we’re talking about, im not gonna tell others how to write san since its fiction and at the end of the day its not a huge deal, but sans main inspiration is agatha harkness— he thrives on deception, putting on a charismatic front that ichi and ni lack to make himself seem almost likeable, but it pisses him off royally when others dub him the nice head as it makes him feel inferior to ichi and ni.

- ichi is well aware ni wants to usurp him and often eggs ni on just to see if he’d ever grow the balls to try, on the topic of ichi, he is the mastermind behind ghidorahs schemes and personally gave san the task to run mechagodzilla as a means to ‘redeem himself’ since ichi wanted someone to blame for their loss (his ego cant COMPREHEND the idea it was his own fault, however he also learned from his mistakes and knows to take out humanity before facing godzilla) but at the end of the day, ichi knew mechagodzilla would fail and it was more of an intimidation display than anything else, sort of to let godzilla know ‘hey, you didnt kill us and you wont, the devil doesnt die’

- i’ve seen a lot of people headcanon ren had a rebellious phase in his youth and i wanna say that does NOT apply to my take on ren, yall, piloting mechagodzilla and becoming anti-titan IS his rebellion against ishiro 😭 schools in japan are strict and dont even allow students to get piercings to put that into perspective, my take on ren spent his school years coloring in the lines and being rather reserved, isolating himself and channeling his time into expanding his engineering skills to impress ishiro, the most rebellious thing he ever did was take out his frustrations from being bullied FOR BEING ishiros son at school into becoming an internet troll, which in the late 2000s was just for chronically online teenagers. while on the topic of rens high school years, i imagine he ran his schools robotics team like the navy 💀

- in the gvk artbook, we see ren wearing a lot of black was intentional and meant to convey the mystery of his character

with that being said, i carried gvks fashion storytelling into ghidorahs voice, i imagine as ghidorah continued to corrupt ren and strip him of any options or ways out, his attire progressively gains more gold accents such as gold jewerly, black w/ gold, and by the time he declared himself X, i imagine his attire looked a lot like the original controller X in final wars, but instead of the blue and black we see, its gold and black.

- the idea of the public turning its back on ren before court trials even began sort of parallels the fandoms opinion on him without even reading the novel 💀 they literally HATE him because they cant stand the idea that ishiro was a shit dad and js shitty to ren overall, imagine in addition to ur dad dying for a random monster, he adopted some random british girl long before that and you hear people going ‘theres no serizawa without graham haha!’ yeah there’s rlly no wonder he became a villain LMAO

- in some ways, ishiro is the overaching antagonist of ghidorahs voice since this is ren/X’s story i’m telling, its mostly told through his perspective so his worldviews determine who the protagonists and antagonists are.

- anywayyy with that being said here are the playlists i made for some of the characters and their dynamics
