Hermann is taller but bc he’s so skinny newt is able to to carry him around-he can do both piggy and bridal. He loves being carried like this, though he always says “newton, really.” so when they get married newt picks him up and screams “HUSBAND ON BOARD” and repeatedly kisses him all around the face. Hermann hides his blush/smile/face in newts neck
FUCKIN……..YEAH
First time Newt goes to knock on Herm’s door in the middle of the night he’s expecting him to be dressed in either silk pyjamas or soft grandpa plaid ones but then, standing there in the doorway is Hermann wearing only spectacular bedhead, boxers and an extra large tshirt with NATIONALISE GREGGS written across the front
Hermann confesses to Liwen that he loves Newton and he assures her that Newt is a good man. Liwen touches his arm kindly and they share a look of understanding before landing at the Shatterdome. Hermann stares out the window trying not to cry.
*cries* - SJP
Okay, so we know Hermann calls Newt a Kaiju Grrroupie. What would Newt’s common nicknames for Hermann be?
*ponders* Well, a lot of people often say the German words “liebling” (darling) and the like, because of the art book says they’re both German. That’s 100% cool with me, but here are some English ones:
Babe
Sexy (usually preceded by the word “hey”)
Handsome
Math grandpa (that’s fannon)
Chalk baby (Hermann literally forbids this)
Gramps (also forbidden)
Cheekbony
Snuggle bunny (“Newton, that is ridiculous”)
Honey (Hermann secretly loves this but pretends to hate it)
Bae (It took Newt about a half hour to explain this one)
Bambi (another long explanation…Hermann was pleased with the praise he received for eyelashes)
Cuddleball
Butterscotch (used only once)
Dollface
Lover
Hot Stuff
Pumpkin (Hermann raised both his eyebrows)
Baby (in-bed-use only)
Feel free to add many more! - SJP
Newt and Hermann both had really rough childhoods (both in their own respective ways). So, the night after their drift they stay up late talking through what each of them saw and helping each other cope through the wave of emotions that hits them. (Would love to hear your opinions/hc!)
YES! I agree. If we look at the drift clips in the first film we see how unique and also how isolated they both are. Even though they communicated before and during the war, I feel like they would say “oh I didn’t know that!” And Newt would talk about feeling out of place at MIT and struggling and probably burst into tears a couple times and then Hermann would hold him tight and kiss his head. They’d have cups of tea (”no coffee for you, Newton”). And Hermann would talk about how kids at school literally threw bits of paper at him and how alone he was and how strict his dad was and how he feels like a failure and he’d cry on Newt’s shoulder and Newt would stroke his hair. And they’d have a lovely kiss and a cuddle and then just pass out after saving the world. - SJP
Hermann is secretly very cuddly.
Don’t think it’s much of a secret. *grins*- SJP
Newt has like. The worst ADHD.
That seems to be a consensus, yeah. That’s certainly a reasonable guess. Discuss. -SJP
Seeing as Pacific Rim: Uprising is coming out in March (the rollercoaster ride is over, folks!) I thought I’d remind y’all that this blog exists. Please send me your head canons! I’ll answer them asap. (Probably after my final paper is due.) Happy Shipping!
Headcanon: Hermann likes to pretend he doesn’t enjoy sleeping in Newt’s shirts. Newt, on the other hand, likes to steal his button-up flannel pajama tops and walk around in that and his underwear, shirt wide open. Hermann is a little scandalized. Only a little.
So, I have a pair of grey socks that say “Space Cadet” on them, and tbh I’m always reminded of Hermann Gottlieb because those socks are so him and I could totally see him wearing those socks.
(Also on the topic of Hermann and socks, he probably has socks with equations on them)
“Did you set the ‘snuggle timer’, darling?” “Yeah, babe.”
Headcanon that Newt devises a “snuggle timer” for when they have to be somewhere in the morning and they want a few extra minutes in bed to snuggle before they get up.
I’m using this in a future fic….I’ll try to write it over Christmas.
headcanon that hermann did that awkward hand-patting thing when they agreed to drift because he was incredibly flustered by newt calling him “my man” not 5 seconds earlier
When the war is over, Newt is still really bad about sleep, like... he doesn't need to work around the clock anymore, but there's a part of his brain that's hardwired to believe that something bad will happen if he sleeps-- it's just that now, instead of 'you won't get your work done in time', it's 'vague disaster, man, idk', and it takes him some time to recognize it as a form of intrusive thought, and it would be hell if it wasn't for Hermann, bc Hermann can get Newt to sleep.
Oh for sure, Newt would be on high alert all the time. It would be so difficult to come down from that. And maybe Hermann would experience the same thing, but probably not as severely. Hermann would calm Newt down, though. -SJP
Newt starts a dedicated gym routine after the apocalypse is cancelled (though he needs Hermann to make sure he actually follows a schedule properly), because he doesn't have giant sample tanks and such to haul around anymore and wants to stay in shape-- namely, wants to stay in good enough shape into old age so that any time Hermann needs any kind of physical help in the future, he'll be able to rise to the occasion, even if they're eighty and Hermann is in and out of a wheelchair all the time.
(and of course when they are adorable little old men, Hermann is pretty self-sufficient with his chair, but he does let Newt help him on his bad days because they’ve been married for half their lives at that point and don’t let foolish pride get in the way of things– and because Newt never oversteps his bounds when it comes to helping Hermann, and they just get by and they probs bicker in the park and everyone thinks they’re the cutest elderly couple ever bc they are)
This is a really sweet idea. It would be good for them both. I love thinking about them as adorable old men!! So cute…like, bickering while holding hands. -SJP
Newt and Hermann hold hands all the time after drifting, like, they don't think about it, it just happens. Every conversation they have about the repairing and changing of their relationship and the start of their romance they spend holding hands, and it just feels right. Whenever they each have a free hand, they sort of gravitate to each other and they just hold hands without really paying any attention beyond enjoying the comfort/closeness, but (tbc)
(hands 2) after they’ve done all the necessary ‘what our relationship is now’ talking, and they’re a proper couple with no 'what do I mean to him’ doubts or lingering 'we fought for so long’ resentment left, there are also times where– I think mostly this is Newt, really. Newt will pick up Hermann’s hand and hold it between both of his own, bring it up to his face (and he will kiss Hermann’s hand, but that’s secondary) and just… study it. Touching and looking and (tbc)
(hands 3) turning Hermann’s hand over, tracing a fingertip over every detail and every line. Just doing that every time they sit together, until he feels like he knows Hermann’s hands better than he knows his own. Hermann returns the favor sometimes, but Newt is the one who is really, like… focused on it in a slightly obsessive way.
Yes yes I love this. Newt has probably always been obsessed with Hermann’s long, slender hands, and in a way handholding is such a lovely, intimate way of showing Hermann how much he cares and maybe even silently making ammends for things he’s said. -SJP
Newt letting Hermann fuss over him when he bangs himself up doing everyday things just because he's a high-speed human disaster. Like he's used to ignoring it (or dealing with it quickly and moving on, if it's serious enough/might contaminate his lab/kitchen work), brushes off a lot of stubbed toes and barked shins and hands injured just because he's accidentally flung his arm out and hit a wall. But Hermann LIKES to take care of him and he just eats it up.
And Hermann pretends not to like it and says “well I have to take care of you because you’re clearly incapable of tending to your own wounds.” And Newt is like “dude, stop fussing, these are minor abrasions.” Hermann proceeds to eyeroll and list injuries that are more than scrapes and bruises. But when Hermann puts bandaids on Newt and holds icepacks to his injuries, he glows inwardly and his heart thumps a little. Maybe one day he gets up the courage to kiss one of Newt’s owies. -SJP
In the lab, Hermann is very 'a place for everything and everything in its place' and Newt's side looks like a war zone, but Newt is actually a very capable housekeeper when it comes to his living space-- he might drop his clothes on the floor when falling into bed at night, but he won't let messes accumulate and he likes things to be at least kind of neat/tidy so that the things he has on display register instead of being lost in the visual 'noise'. Whereas Hermann lives in a mess of (tbc)
(2) pillows and blankets and heating pads just piled high on and next to his bed, stacks of books up to his eyeballs on every surface, walls covered in prints and posters of deep space and fractals… Newt assumed his room would be super spartan, necessary comforts aside, and he finds it kind of overwhelming the first time Hermann has him in and he’s just surrounded by visual info to take in. Hermann just likes to really ‘nest’ and be totally surrounded by not just comfort but his passions (tbc)
(3) and he has to dial it way back when he and Newt start living together. They manage to strike a happy balance where both of their things can be on display and their home can reflect their disparate interests while still feeling calm enough that Newt can actually relax there. (like, of course he loves the chaos of his lab, but he could never sleep while surrounded by so much, you know? He needs to have some kind of ordered environment to regulate himself by)
OMG I love this! I feel like this is accurate. Because Hermann has his side of the lab perfect, he needs his nesting space that it very personal. And he also has the advantage of what he’s working on to be very clean, whereas Newt has a more messy profession and it’s next to impossible for him to keep his side of the lab as clean and tidy as his bedroom. A nice balance in their shared space would make both of them happier I think. - SJP
