Ah, since Zerm brought it up - could the Bone Singer ability be hereditary? Could the Chens (assuming they're closer to the Shobijin than we can see) be considered a well-established Bone Singer lineage that's attuned only to Mothra?
The Bone Singer abilities are indeed hereditary! It’s much stronger in some bloodlines, namely the Chen family, but it crops up now and then in certain families like the Grahams and Russells.
Do you have any artwork based on Abraxes you could display (e.g., what the Titan Thor looks like, Vivienne & San's design pre or post-escape from Alan Jonah), please?
Ask and ye shall receive, nonnie!
Pre-Escape (Kamata-kun equivalent)
Post-Escape (Shinagawa-kun equivalent)
Plus height comparison with That 70′s Kong
THOR! ODINSON! PROTECTOR OF MANKIND!
You can also dig through the “fic: abraxas” tag for more!
I feel that Viv'n'San's ability to communicate with humans through electronic devices would be very useful. Both to explain to Monarch what's going on in GvK, and to share Godzilla's warning about what'll happen if they try to hurt Shin, and how humanity is currently on very thin ice. (I imagine Shin first appears about a month after GvK.)
I can only imagine after a certain point Viv n’ San will completely drop the nice “hey just so you know” and go full “ARRIGHT YA DAFT CUNTS CLEAN OUT THOSE EARS AND LISTEN GOOD!” when humanity takes its stupidity a little too far for comfort, and depending on how things progress our poor beleaguered duo will reach the point of “YOU KNOW WHAT? I’M STARTING TO CRAVE SOME PORK. SO GO AHEAD, FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT. BRING SOME DIPPING SAUCE WHILE YOU’RE AT IT.”
Hoi! Just wanted to say congrats on getting the new chapter of Abraxas out! Clever use of rage and chaos, very confusing at times but a magnificent addition! I don't think you're able to tell but I also sent an anon ask here previously along with a request for advice on making a Godzilla fic, thank you for that! My fic is progressing very nicely and I'll be sure to take a few notes from your Ghidorah's evil personality.
Hoi, chummer, thanks! Ooh, it’s good to hear another story is growing, so I’m happy that I was able to help! There’s plenty of evil Ghidorah to go around, hehehe…
I imagine Viviene somehow making a baby sling for Mandazawa or just gives him a piggy back ride
For a second there I pictured this happening in their Titan forms before remembering, oh right, I drew them as gijinkas.
And now it’s equally funny and adorable imagining a tiny ball of sunshine and happiness riding on the shoulders of either Mama Vivi or Uncle Kevin, both of whom look like they walked off the set of The Crow.
You know, it's funny how Zynbel/the Shadow's voice sounds like a "villain" voice that Benedict Cumberbatch would put on. It makes Zynbel all the more appropriate a comic book fantasy casting choice for Ichi in Abraxasverse. ;) Was that intentional on your part, or just fridge brilliance?
Maybe that was Fridge Brilliance, because I definitely haven’t connected Benedict Cumberbatch with Ichi until just this moment, and considering BC’s voice is great for either voicing evil dragons or reciting poetry, and Ichi’s tendency towards Exact Words… I absolutely wouldn’t put it past Ichi to put a more sensual twist on his voice when he wants to manipulate someone. Maybe he’s figured out that humans enjoy the sound of a deep, gravelly yet smooth voice and takes every advantage he can get out of that. So, yeah!
Some new 'Abraxas' questions from me. ;) (1) Do you think San ever feels bad about having to ditch and kill the monsters that used to be his brothers, considering the hints Ichi used to be an Actual Big Brother before the Makers and the Old Noise? (2) Do you imagine Abraxas can produce an alpha roar? (3) If not, how do you imagine they'd react to another Alpha Titan's call? (4) Who's your headcanon voice for Kong?
1. Perhaps he does, though those thoughts tend to sneak up on him when he least expects it. Every now and then San will wonder; Vivienne managed to get through to San-Who-Could-Have-Been, what if Ghidorah had contact with her (or at least someone like her) early enough that things could have changed? Eldest Brother used to be so much like her… but San always has to remind himself that it’s pointless to think about what could have been.
2. Considering Ghidorah is/was an Alpha then that would make Monster X… half-Alpha? Maybe an Alpha in their own right, but they choose not to fight for dominance? They probably could, but rather than “YOU LOT! I’M THE BOSS NOW!” it’s more in the sense of “GIVE ME A FIGHT.”
The best comparison I can make right now is how summoning a dragon works in Skyrim (because I caved in and bought the Anniversary Edition); when you Shout a dragon’s name, like Odahviing, then it’s issuing a challenge that they are compelled by nature to answer. Monster X’s version of an Alpha Call is basically an invitation to throw hands.
3. Even if they didn’t have an Alpha Call of their own, Monster X would treat such a call from any other Alpha Titan differently depending on who’s doing the calling; if it’s Godzilla or Mothra they’ll rush in without a problem. If it’s someone else, like Kong, it’s more like “HOW THE FUCK DID YOU GET THIS NUMBER?” at first, though they might be more receptive to giving him a hand depending on how AbraxasVerse GvK goes.
If Ghidorah pulled off an Alpha Call, then Monster X would answer… so they could volley insults and taunts just to piss the big bastards off. Then they’d say hi to San-2.
4. Goku. Ha! I joke! For Kong I haven’t settled on one specific voice just yet, but I like to think he has a suitably deep voice and maybe a rough edge to him. Right now I’m thinking of how Malacath sounds in Skyrim (pretty cool guy by Daedric Prince standards):
Loud and rough when he’s pissed or fighting, but imagine his tone softening when someone he likes is around.
🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀Ghidorah is dead!🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀 (Also, I, along with probably a few others, will be avoiding any mention of Thor for a while because we don’t want to spoil it, and I’m personally still sad)
