Madison Russell - Tales of Kaiju

Okay, so I've seen a few posts and comments about how Dek is "just a baby" or a child and how it is amoral and wrong to sexualize him.

Yes, it is completely amoral and wrong and criminal to sexualize minors, but the thing is...

Dek is NOT a child. Not even close.

Guys, have you been watching the film closely?..

Dek is a RUNT, not a freaking child. He is smaller than the average yautja, that was the crux of his story - to prove to his father and his clan that he is no less a hunter for his shorter stature.

If he was an actual child with some more growing up to do, then his story makes no earthly sense.

Dek is obviously young, but he is an adult.

I'll repeat it again - Dek is a fully grown adult yautja.

Here is! A lovely fanart of Dek&Thia ❤️💜

Found clan is best clan, I say.

Anyway, with how big Bud became, and with the amount of work that needed to be done to fix the ship, I assume they spent quite some time on Genna. So, I wanted to draw various moments from that time they shared there, this being the first.

If someone has suggestions on something to draw, just type them out, maybe something will hit my inspiration button.

I really wanted them to kiss in the end!!😭

Honestly, I'm not someone who always feels compelled to ship characters romantically just because they happen to be in the same movie and have a relationship.

And I would have been perfectly fine with considering Dek and Thia as a purely platonic best friends kind of duo, but for this specific shot:

Now, this is NOT how a girl would look at a guy whom she considers strictly her best friend or brother.

This is NOT a platonic look, at all.

This is a I want you look.

It then quickly dissolves into Thia's general "sweet look" and she shifts her attention to Bud, BUT... Elle Fanning and Dan Trachtenberg knew what they were doing when they put this look into the movie.

Also that one scene that still get me is when Bud and her mother are doing the head rubbind thing and Dek looks over at Thia and he doesn't say anything, just looks at her.

I demand headbump for Thia too! And Dek needs a hug, damnit.

Kwei, Thia and Dek jumping grandpa:
