Pacific Rim Uprising quantum entanglement au where Newt and Hermann are the two photons who share spatial proximity so closely that one particle cannot be accurately described without the presence of the other (sharing the lab, sharing minds through the drift) and even when split across thousands of separating miles by scientific processes or the growing years (ten of them) they still remember (hermann remembers enough for the both of them). and if you act on one of those entangled particles, the other will still give an equal (but opposite) reaction

guys i can’t stop thinking about the berliner/bavaria dichotomy… and newt would lay the dialect on really thick too. like after 15 years of pining and letters and world-saving when newt is finally about to confess his love he’s like “….ick liebe dir” and hermann can’t even be properly romanced he’s like don’t SAY it like that

Portrait practice

Okay I'm gonna be so real rn I have been in the fandom since the first movie and newmann are literally the focus of my pacrim special interest but I Do Not remember how or why the hermann loving tangerines thing came about and I want to remember so badly do you remember anything about that??

first of all it makes my heart warm that you would come to me with tangerine questions 🍊 but yeah wow I have no idea where it originated from either... this is serious historical research though so if anyone has a clue ‼️‼️

oh you want to talk about symbols and soulmateism? without guillermo del toro? I'll have you know that Dr. Hermann PacificRim was raised without love or understanding and was trained since childhood to make weapons. he saw 300ft world ending monsters and designed equally destructive robots capable of killing them!! he made brilliant death machines while calling himself impossible to love because of it!! and then this guy, who is basically the mathematician equivalent of a Child Soldier, comes face to face with his lab partner.... and its the single (1) freak in the entire world who looks directly at the alien monsters everyone has been trying to destroy and is just like...….Well i think they’re incredible. i'll dedicate my life to loving and understanding them, instead. ROMANCE AS OF YET UNMATCHED.

newt + DIY pons

happy birthday to the worlds most pathetic scientist I hope he has a great day

A soggy, scrumbly little man.

The deleted running scene.

I firmly feel like Bastien Gottlieb smokes weed and plays guitar.

hermann walks in on bastien and karla (32 and 24 years old, respectively) sharing a hilariously disheveled joint out of the bathroom window on the 3rd anniversary of their dads death and he looks so aghast. karla cracks up while bastien is just like “herm please don’t tell dieterich …. PLWASE HE’LL TELL MY SHAREHOLDERS…”

jay you fucking KNOW my vision for karla and her antindiana jones realness adventures with her award winning ex-model novelist wife and as for the boys i think dietrich is gay but tries to be classy about it like he’s one of those no fats fems or asians motherfuckers which means if the precursors were sexual creatures they definitely would have fucked nasty -newt

@bae-science classy gay dietch is SO. dude has invested 10+ years into the world's most successful lavender marriage. has never given any indication that he feels any form of human feelings let alone homosexual ones. but he has had SO many affairs. at hermann's wedding to newt dietrich reveals to him that he debauched every single handsome young tutor lars had ever brought in to babysit hermann&karla and hermann is aghast like w. why are you telling me this. and dieterich is just like (calmly sipping his drink) Because No One Will Ever Believe You.

I can't tag you, but I just rebloged the post if u want to see it

Deitrich is an architect. Karla (I'm still between psychiatrist and lawyer), and Bastien is a professional musician like type opera and all that.

DIETCH ARCHITECT IS SO GOOD.... he literally looks like if a protactor were a person. he is so strict with his engineers. building that coastal wall to impress his dad but and weeping secretly over his Repressed Artistic Vision (its like. blueprints for a regular looking gazebo)

I don’t have a lot of opinions on the siblings myself despite being fascinated by different portyrals and love reading about them

oh I really get this!!.... this is me except the one thing i find necessary is like that healthy undercurrent of Dysfunctional Sibling Rage. like ofc they love each other but you cannot come out of Gottlieb House without 6 different flavors of repression & at least one plot to sabotage your poor brother by pouring custard down the back of his tweed. and all that

my headcanon is that hermann and newt are both so so socially awkward that they think the other person is considered super socially Cool™️ because they have zero idea what that is supposed to be like. newt has spent his entire life feeling like an outsider for being "too much" so he's like Fuckkkk hermann is so restrained and composed and collected…. meanwhile hermann is literally just there like Oh my god newton is wearing a leather jacket. This could only mean one thing.
