Gaiares (Telenet Japan / Renovation - Genesis - 1990)

How Pacific Rim correlates to fairy tales & fantasy tropes, in a nutshell

The Shatterdome: The Castle Marshal Stacker Pentecost: The King Mako Mori: The Princess Dr. Hermann Gottlieb and Dr. Newt Geiszler: The Court Wizards Rangers: The Knights Jaegers: The Knights' Armors Rangers' Assistant Technicians: The Squires Kaiju: The Dragons Hannibal Chau & Crew: Pirates

Some notes:

Travis Beacham explicitly associated rangers with Saint George in particular. The Tales From Year Zero comic depicts a statue of Saint George slaying a dragon in a graveyard for dead rangers.

Pacific Rim: Man, Machines, & Monsters recounts that Guillermo del Toro told actor Ron Perlman "he's a pirate" in regard to Hannibal Chau.

Gipsy Danger

I just finished Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao last night. I read this book in two days. I couldn't put it down haha.

This book has a historical fantasy setting, ancient china but with giant mechs and magic suits of armor and helicopters and stuff. The protagonist is Wu Zetian, an 18 year old girl who is disabled, unapologetically feminist and sort of a bad ass. Everything in her society is balanced against women and minorities, including the giant mechs that protect their country from the hundun (giant metal pill bug monsters that attack the wall encircling the country). Zetian's sister enlisted in the army, as good as a death sentence for girls, and was murdered by the mech pilot that she was supporting. Zetian swears revenge and will do anything to get it, including sacrificing herself.

This book is non-stop action and drama right from go. Every chapter something exciting happened. It's dealing with some really heavy topics (discrimination, racism, sexism, the prison system, etc), but still keeps a sort of youthful fun YA style to the writing. I think it's a really good example of how heavy topics can be in any type of media, so long as they're set up correctly and dealt with consistently. In the same book where someone gets waterboarded, there's a love triangle, a magical wedding, and a sleeping prince under a volcano. And I was living.

The book does have a warnings page at the beginning of the book, so if you are sensitive to certain topics I do recommend to check that page before reading.

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a revenge story, anyone who loves for the drama, people who live a love triangle with a happy ending, giant mechs, badass women, and Chinese history!

one of my favorite tropes tbh, please feel free to add more examples

Yang Vertanen's Big Score! Not-So-Bite-Sized BattleTech, Ep 37! (With The Tumblr Pitch!)

DOUBLE EPISODE! Our lead Mech Tech has an Oceans 11 job lined up! Rare BattleMechs ripe for the picking, from some military collector, and all we gotta do is drive 'em out. Sounds easy enough, right? …There's ALWAYS a hitch with Richter Scale Company. And now, The Tumblr Pitch. Because I love this platform and I love you folks more than anywhere else. So some rich asshole BattleMech collector with a military hardware fetish (It's actually said that he practically oils them up with baby oil, EWWW) has some PRIMO, ultra-rare BattleMechs in his showroom. Being the kind of mercenary company with loose morals and an understanding that this Elongated Muskrat type would be better off crying in his huge reserves of C-bills (what we call cash here in the 31st-and-a-quarter-ish century) over the loss of his prized, oily BattleMechs, we come up with a plan to separate him from these 'Mechs.

The two-birds-with-one-stone moment is, there's ANOTHER rich asshole, this one is the first jerkwad's IMMEDIATE RIVAL, and they spend countless C-bills to inconvenience and frustrate the other. Because of course they do. And Asshole B just bought out some mech parts that Asshole A needed for one of his greased up BattleMechs. So we're going to go into Asshole B's (Wallo is his name, like a pig) warehouse, take down the defenses, and let Asshole A (Graves is his name) storm the palace, so to speak, to get his grubby little hands on the mech parts. While Graves is engaged with the mech part "liberation," our team sneaks into Graves' showroom, and waltzes out with 4 Mint-on-Card Rare BattleMechs. Easy, right? It's never easy. Enjoy the spy-themed music! I downloaded it special for this episode! And keep in mind that this one's a DOUBLE episode, so it's "NOT-SO-Bite-Sized BattleTech!" clocking in at 41 minutes! In the words of Final Fantasy XIV, it is recommended you set aside sufficient time to view this episode in its entirety. Because it's freakin' awesome, and funny, and fun. :)

Thanks, Tumblr! Love ya!

the last stand

Edging firefly to the point where she gets so frustrated and turns to into Sam only to bend you over her lap and see how you like it <333

Mmmm seeing Firefly groaning and whimpering as she tears up from the edging, only to summon Sam and suddenly transform into a huge, towering mech that bends you over is something I rlly want to see 🤤

Firefly is so fast too. You blink and suddenly you’re hoisted into the air with Firefly transforming into Sam and manhandling you like you’re nothing. Sam’s metallic hands are cold against your abdomen, gripping you with such intense strength as Firefly pushes you down in her lap and makes you bounce pathetically on her now bigger cock… the sudden whiplash will have you whimpering in place of Firefly, as Sam just makes it impossible for you to keep silent.

Not to mention how cold their dick is in mecha form. It makes your entire body shiver upon contact and Firefly would make you cockwarm her for a bit before thrusting into you roughly.

happy fuck the rose and you as well sunday! in honor, I am posting my thoughts about the line in pump shanty, because god do I have thoughts!

there are no rose reds at that point, right? they're fleeing the wedding. The only Rose explicitly in canon is... Rose. Snow's sister, who's just been kidnapped. Even for Greyditch, this seems... a little insensitive, to say the least.

But! There's also the phrasing. It's not "fuck Rose." It's "fuck the Rose."

See also Our Boy Jack. "When the red Rose, it comes a'marching," and "when the Rose comes over the water." Now, these could very concievably both refer to the Rose Reds, but consider: what if they don't?

What if the Rose is an established Crown insignia? Greyditch isn't saying fuck Rose, he's saying fuck the Crown. This makes a lot more sense in context.

This leads me to believe that Rose was named for the Crown symbol, which. Adds whole new layers to everything that happens to her. Woman destined from birth, by her name, to be a tool for Cole. I think her parents saw her red hair (the Crown’s color) and named her for it, in the hopes she’d continue their family’s legacy of serving the king. And she did, and every one of her clones did, to hundreds of thousands of deaths…
