Alternate explanation on how the Drift works

So for fic purposes, I’ve been toying with an alternate explanation of how the Drift and Drift Compatibility works in the Pacific Rim universe. This may or may not be canonical, I’d be curious to hear from people who know better than me.

For TOWOID, I used the Drift basically as a spirit journey vehicle which is WILDLY non-canonical and plays very fast and loose with how the Drift works in the film for story purposes. But the Kidnapping AU is shaping up to be a techno-thriller (plus fluff and lots of feels) so I wanted to have a slightly more technology-based explanation, stripped of romanticism. 

- In this theory, the act of Drifting creates an up-to-date carbon copy of the entire brain of your Drift partner in your head. 

- This basically creates a “plug” or outlet for the connection to slide home into when your brains connect when you Drift. 

- “Drift Compatibility” as a percentage is how similar your brains are before you Drift. Imagine a Venn Diagram. The more overlap between the two circles, the higher the compatibility. If your brains work on a similar model, wavelength, and structure, it means their brain can overlap with yours with the minimal amount of disruption. Basically your brain can serve as a battery that keeps the patterns of the partner’s brain functioning as usual, fully realized as a copy in your head.

Both of the paintings I did for @pacificarcana Tumultus. Working on this project was very literally a dream come true and I am so grateful for this tremendous community of artists and for the amazing, tireless, too many other superlatives to list work of editor Hye Mardikian. Seriously, EVERYTHING about this project is so beautifully designed and presented.

A concept: Someone realizing that something’s wrong with Newt pre-Uprising because he has unfinished, faded tattoo linework on his thighs/chest/back/wherever and the real Newt would NEVER let that happen

hello the cliche train has arrived au where hermann is a depressed working stiff in a dead end job and he’s sat alone in a bar on a friday night after a long shitty week only half watching the open mic night when suddenly he finds himself falling in love at first terrible performance with this short yet plucky frontman of an awful band who can’t sing for shit but has the passion and drive hermann thought he’d forgotten and idk how to finish this but take it

[kaiju-bluescreen]

this was such a cute idea I absolutely had to draw it

[kaiju-bluescreen]

“The singer prances about as he launches right into another song. Despite himself, Hermann nods along to the tune, smiling. The singer makes eye contact with him and breaks into a huge grin, throwing Hermann an approving nod before leaning back into the mic. He is struck by the sudden urge to get up on stage and join in; to cheer like a teenager at a pop show or perhaps buy the man a drink. The rest of the evening suddenly seems like a new opportunity rather than a burden.”

“Well there's nothing to lose And there's nothing to prove I'll be dancing with myself-”
