I know it's been a fairly long time since I finally threw in the towel on that old thing, but me and @full-moon-phoenix were discussing that whole thing where making Eclipsa and Toffee a thing would have solved a whole lot of problems with the story.

...and that actually gave us enough inspiration to start thinking about trying again with the rewrite.

It has everything.

A chance to give the two most lore important yet underwritten characters in the show an excuse to stay in the foreground that gives them both more to work with!

More opportunities for a stronger conflict that ties together the plot lines about Mewni, the monsters, the queens, and the magic!

Ship drama that actually matters to the narrative!

So just out of curiosity...

“King of the Monsters. Wrath of God. God Incarnate. Godzilla knows many titles, and many more names. To me, it will always be the dragon my family has been charged with. It’s been seven decades since Godzilla 01 (‘Gojira’) first appeared and attacked Japan. Four since Godzilla 02 emerged and followed suit, and just over two since it became enraged for unknown reasons, then sealed away by SAINT in Greenland. Throughout all of it, my family has been there to observe, study, and attempt combat them. While its appearance has always marked times of catastrophe, if not for Godzilla, our family name would remain in obscurity. KAMI would have never come to be. While I feel no sense of gratitude for the beasts that terrorized my home, I accept my part in this struggle. When 02 reawakens--and it will if the UN continues to ignore the agency’s warnings about the state of Area G thanks to climate change, never mind the ongoing budget cuts--I will be there to face it in the field to unlock its mysteries. Just as my grand-father, my grandparents, and my parents have before me. That is my responsibility as a Yamane. I will see you again soon, O ‘King of Destruction.’"

- Tomoko Yamane, chief behavioural specialist with KAMI

This literal god-tier design is brought to you by the esteemed @iamthekaijuking! He helped me develop everything from the inner workings to aesthetics to our take on the Big G. I could go on, but I’ll leave that for him to talk about in his reblog. Remember to check out his blog, and give him a commission if you got some cash lying around!

We can’t wait to show you what this King of the Monsters is capable of, where he’ll go, and even what he thinks of the humans who’ll be working alongside him!

Hi!

The Dapper Critter here, author of sleeper hit cuddly Entrapdak fic, Sleepless in the Fright Zone.

As you may remember, I’ve been teasing a second fic for some time. However, I hit a lot of snags on the road--some of it had to do with the pandemic, some of it had to do with looking back on SPOP and realizing it wasn’t as good as I remember. Either way, I ended up getting distracted with personal business or other fandoms that I felt more comfortable in.

But!

After actual years of teasing the good people of the Entrapdak fandom, I need your honest help.

GODZILLA: CHAOS THEORY

(an independent Godzilla AU writing project by The Dapper Critter and Iamthekaijuking)

“Any sufficiently evolved biology is indistinguishable from divinity” – Ryoichi Mafune (1968 - 2011), Macrozoologist, Theoretical Naturalist, Occultist

 It is the 2nd decade of the 21st century. The kaiju crisis is getting out of human control.

 Tomoko Yamane, a morose behaviourist with confidential psychic powers and a troubled upbringing. Akira Nakajima, her partner, a macrobiologist with a shaky sense of optimism working for a better future. Yumiko Satsuma, their military liaison, a headstrong woman who rose from the ashes of tragedy to become the most adept combat pilot alive.

 These three are tasked by KAMI—a specialized environmental agency—to track, study, and if necessary, neutralize the monstrous lifeforms that have appeared across the world at an increasingly alarming rate, affecting our planet’s environment and our society in unbelievable ways. Their first target is the infamous apex predator whose species marked the beginning of the kaiju crisis in 1954. The one who changed their lives forever in one, fateful day over 20 years ago: Godzilla.

 Utilizing an unusual mix of science, technology, the supernatural, and some unusual outside help, the trio strives to unlock the many mysteries of the monsters they encounter. Though they have some differences to work through, the farther they come in their endeavours and the greater the hardships become, the closer they become as people. But the more startling their discoveries become, the more they realize the ruthless Godzilla may not be what he seems…

 …nor the true threat to their world.

Remember to stay safe, keep circulating the files, and fight for animator rights.

I've been feeling like drawing stuff for a while but I can't decide.

What would you guys (my devoted and hopefully still interested followers) like to see me draw next?

Godzilla

Kikimora (TOH) and/or more Willem (my oc)

Redesigning my websona

Redesigning a Sonic character or four

Let me know in the comments! At least until Tumblr introduces a poll feature.

EDIT: The likes are cute but they’re not answers. Just so you know. UPDATE: So far the tally count is is

-Godzilla: 0

-Kikimora TOH and/or Willem: 4

-Websona redesign: 2

-Sonic (Frontiers) redesign: 1

You asked for it so here’s what I got so far for a websona redesign.

Wisdom of the crowd (of my immediate friends) has got me this far.

He’s here!

The new and improved Dapper Critter with a fresh look to match my fresh perspective on life!
