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.
in death take my hand, are there any other personifications?
yep! the family tree goes like this:
the âmotherâ of them all is nature, the âfatherâ is chaos or war?? i havent decided yet. anyway, the two obvious personifications in the games as of rn are death (nam-gyu) and life (to be revealed in the next chapter), but there is also the personification of greed (yeong-sam) and the personification of giving/generosity who serves as a direct counterpart to greed. there is more to appear tho, these are js the revealed ones!
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.
what would happen if controller x!ren met the og controller x from final wars
iâd say a match made in hell LMAO! this isnt entirely accurate to the canon controller x since i filled in some gaps w hcs, such as his familial backgroundâ i imagine the xiliens were like leafwings from wof w leafspeak, they would pair the stronger xiliens tg to create even stronger offspring.
Canon!Controller X: (Looking around the mothership in puzzlement, last he checked, he had felt the searing burn of his shipâs self destruct, he had died. yet, here he was, stepping into an unfamiliar world.) Did I get stuck in a time loop..?
Controller X!Ren: Whatever are you doing lingering, imbecile? Back to your post.
Canon!Controller X: (Sneers, wondering who the hell this guy thinks he is.) And who do you think you are, giving me orders?
Controller X!Ren: I am Controller X.
Canon!Controller X: (Momentarily silent, though soon bursts into a fit of giggles.) No, no. I am Controller X.
Controller X!Ren: (A flicker of annoyance passed through his expression, but he quickly showed himself to be Controller X in some semblance by displaying his ability to go from zero-to-one-hundred, his gaze darkened as he raised a gloved hand, fingers twitching through the air as if rewinding an invisible tape. A soft beep emitted from his visor as it projected a grainy, holographic imageâ Canon!Controller X in his final moments, cackling as he triggered the shipâs destruction.) Interesting, I presume you are me from another universe, Apex couldâve achieved this technology in fifty years maximum with my intellect.
Canon!Controller X: What the hell are you talking about? And what the hizzle is an Apex?
Controller X!Ren: (Tilts his head, this time with something resembling intrigue.. How could he not know?) Apex was the company we worked for in our human life, we were the chief technology officerâ a scientist, an engineer.. We piloted Gojiraâs superior.
Canon!Controller X: (Blinks beneath his own visor, then barking a sharp, incredulous laugh.) Scientist? Engineer? Cattle talk. I was born among the Xiliens, in outer space, you think my name is something cattle tongues could even pronounce?
Controller X!Ren: (In a quiet, measured, almost hesitant voice.) Then tell me, were you ever Ren Serizawa?
Canon!Controller X: (His smug demeanor cracked in the form of his mouth twitching.) Who the fuck is Ren Serizawa?
Controller X!Ren: (Smiles, though not kindly.) I was.. The world didnât want to understand Ren Serizawa, but King Ghidorah did. He opened my eyes, gave me purpose, helped me realized Ren Serizawa was a joke, hell, a tragedy. Humans want either a perfect victim or a perfect villain, you cannot be anywhere in-between or you will be disgracedâ cast away. (His fingers tap against the side of his visor.) So I became X.
Canon!Controller X: (Looks at his counterpart as if he was some grotesque curiosity, cattleâ he was once cattle.) You were.. One of them?
Controller X!Ren: For a time. You appear young, late teens, early twenties, perhaps? Tell meâ what was your family like?
Canon!Controller X: (Scoffs.) My parents were paired to create a Kaiser amongst the Xiliens, after several failed attempts with my siblings, they finally got it right with me.. And yours?
Controller X!Ren: My father was the director of Monarch, an organization meant to study and protect Titans. My mother was a florist who worked with Monarch for their eventsâ thatâs how they met.
Canon!Controller X: (Snorts.) And..?
Controller X!Ren: (Fingers twitch, a faint spark of golden energy stemming from them.) My father never really saw me, I suppose I canât blame him for initially thinking I would be okay with that, it was all he ever knew as my grandfather, Eiji started the cycleâ neglecting his son, reconciling far too late.. But, my father threw himself to Gojira as if he had nothing left after his precious replacement daughter, Vivienne Graham, was eaten by Ghidorah.. All the more reason to adore Ghidorah, he got rid of my competition.
Canon!Controller X: (Stares blankly.) Are we done with your sob stories?
Controller X!Ren: (Lip curls, though he ultimately let it slide.)
Canon!Controller X: So thereâs a Gojira in your world.
Controller X!Ren: (Scoffs.) Oh, thereâs a Gojira, all right. My father was so devoted to him, we may as well have been brothers. And despite all his destruction, when I put my life on the line piloting the Mecha to stop him, I barely survived. (He reached up and with a flick of his fingers, removed his visor. Beneath it, his right eye was gone, replaced by an old, deep shrapnel wound.) I didnât make it out entirely unscathed.
Canon!Controller X: (Frowns, inspecting the injury.) Tch. I didnât even know a Gojira existed, some cattle idiot released him. My monsters were nearly helpless against himâ except for Gigan and Monster X, of course.
Controller X!Ren: (Sneers.) King Ghidorah is superior.
Canon!Controller X: (Bristles.) Now, my turn to ask a question. Do you know Shinichi Ozaki?
Controller X!Ren: No, should I?
Canon!Controller X: Good, keep it that way. If he exists in this world, I am telling you, Controller X to Controller X, watch your damn back.
Controller X!Ren: (Turns to his henchmen.) Find out if this Ozaki exists, if he doesâ nuke his coordinates.
Canon!Controller X: (Smirks.) I like you.
Controller X!Ren: (Mirrors his smirk, replacing his visor.) Likewise.
yall im bored pls give me writing prompts for the ghidorahs voice fic i need to give myself muse to work on ch 34 its only 1k words rn đ ill do crossovers ill do crackprompts ill do anything im bored
hiiiii
first I wanted to know where u got all ur ideas from ! or comparisons of characters from other media that you have
what's your favorite chapter so far?
whats your second favourite kaiju in the storyline?
will godzilla fight?
do you plan on giving Ren more flashbacks to his mother?
will Ren die?
i love all these questions so lets begin !!
as stated before, i got the idea to write a possessed ren story when i noticed the sheer lack of others exploring this concept. for early chapters, i took inspiration from horror movies such as smile 2 and the lazarus effect, as the story progresses, i also used elements from biblical horror such as the antichrist.
i have a bunch of comparisons so lets get itt! i didnt have to develop a lot of the characters but mira is inspired by my two favorite adaptions of mary-jane watson, her introduction in the 60s before being destroyed by bad writing and her mcu counterpart, as well as being an obvious nod to emiko yamane from the original â54 film. san is based off comedic villains such as agatha harkness and the joker, ni takes strongly after princess burn from wings of fire and iâve been pretty into squid game lately so nam-gyu/player 124 as well, naturally, since ni takes after princess burn, ichi takes after princess blister and dr doom, but iâd argue ichi is worse than doom as ichi literally wants to burn the world, doom has been told by the panther god the world will be a better place ruled by him.
my favorite chapter is tied between chapter 8 and chapter 16, i love the scene in chapter 8 where ren is forced to confront a demonic hallucination of his past self but i also love when he finally realizes he has to take a different approach and abandons not only his identity but his humanity and dawns the title of X.
my second favorite kaiju is tied between gigan, spacegodzilla, and bio!maddie. its difficult to choose when iâve had a lot of fun writing them but i like them more than the pre established mv titans since theres more i can do wo asking myself âwould blank *really* do this?â
yes! godzilla has already fought kiryu and is getting ready to confront ghidorah in the next chapter.
since mrs. serizawa isnt all that important to his motivations, probably not, we just saw her in chapter 27 and controller x!ren could care less abt anything from his human life.
ren is already dead, silly! theres only X now
Iâd rather stay in and read fanfics on AO3 than do this thing called go outside and talk to people
CH 33 IS OUT !
