[in summer 2013 I did some doodles (anon) to share with a tumblr user whom had a Star Trek AU idea for Pacific Rim. While I looked through my old art I just had to stick them together, polish a couple things and post them <3]
Once again it is time for what I can only assume is everyone's most special beloved annual holiday tradition, the Newt/Hermann 2025 Winter Exchange! (I feel like you guys know the drill at this point but here's a info post anyway.)
To join the exchange, sign up using this form by the end of Sunday, 11/30/25.
How does it work? If you sign up for the exchange by the end of November, I’ll randomly and anonymously match up all participants and assign you a giftee by Wednesday, December 3rd. It’ll then be your responsibility to create some form of Newt/Hermann content (fic, art, etc.) for your giftee by January 31st, 2026, and in return, someone will make some form of Newt/Hermann content for you!
Keep your giftee a secret until you share your gift with them!
You are of course welcome to finish up your gift as early as you would like, but a loose deadline of gifting by the end of January is preferred.
There are some more specific details about signing up in the form, as well as a spot to share your ‘wishlist’ (i.e., tropes or scenarios you just can’t live without that might be helpful if your giftee needs some inspiration!), and another spot to indicate interest in being a pinch hitter.
I’ll be crossposting about this on Bluesky/Twitter/Instagram as well.
For those of you who will be posting your gifts to AO3, I have made a collection for the 2025 exchange right here which you’re welcome to add your works to.
Please let me know if you have any questions! Annnnnnd as always have fun! ❄️❄️❄️❄️👨🔬❤️👨🔬❄️❄️❄️❄️
It's November, so you know the drill!

Official sign-ups are now open for the 2025 Newmann Big Bang!
This fan folks is for folks who would want to participate in a fandom big bang dedicated to Newt/Hermann, the pairing from the ever classic film Pacific Rim (2013). The only restriction is that works for this should focus on the relationship between these two characters as a primary or major focus- romantic, sexual, and platonic interpretations are all allowed as well as any combination of the three.
What is a Big Bang? You can find a good overview on fanlore here. The short of it is, it's an event to create a flurry of new content for a fandom by pairing writers and artists together to create something wonderful. The first step is for fic writers to create fanfictions related to the topic and then pair them up with artists who create artwork for the piece. Typically, these are longer works and the entire process takes several months from start to finish.
Are you ready to find that weird little scientist you're drift compatible with? Review our rules and then sign up here!

Like last year this deadline is a little extended compared to past exchanges. Though you are of course welcome to finish up your gift as early as you would like!
There are some more specific details about signing up in the form, as well as a spot to share your ‘wishlist’ (i.e., tropes or scenarios you just can’t live without that might be helpful if your giftee needs some inspiration!), and another spot to indicate interest in being a pinch hitter.

A WIP Wednesday excerpt from “Something Borrowed,” my almost finished @theloccent Pacific Rim Bingo prompt fill in which Newt, Hermann, Mako and Raleigh are all in Tendo and Alison’s wedding bridal party. This little snippet is from the photoshoot scene in chapter 3. I’m not going to make the Aug 31 deadline, but I’m almost there and each of the five chapters will be a bingo card fill.
***
“Now, let’s do a bit more of a serious shot,” the photographer said. “Tendo and Alison, make like you’re slow dancing, but put your foreheads together. Aww, yeah, just like that. Mako and Raleigh, you two hold hands. Lovely. Aaaand Hermann…” they hesitated, thinking, “why don’t you stand behind Newt and put your arms around him.”
…
…
“…I-I’m sorry?” Hermann sputtered.
“I wanna get a few shots of the three couples,” the photographer said. “Yeah, I think if you go behind Newt it’ll work better with your height difference. Put your arms around his shoulders, or his waist maybe. Give him a little nuzzle on the cheek or something, whatever you want— whatever feels natural.”
Hermann opened and closed his mouth, trying to form a sentence but nothing came. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Alison, Mako and Raleigh all collectively try to stifle a smile as Tendo burst into a loud fit of laughter.
Well. This was just peachy.
No one seemed willing to speak up and correct the error.
“T-that, um, that would not be—” he mumbled and trailed off, desperately trying to mentally will the photographer to take the damned hint. He dared not look at Newton’s reaction. “I mean, we aren’t…”
The photographer lifted a single eyebrow and put their hands on their hips in complete incredulity. “Sorry, sorry. Hold up. You’re telling me you two're not together?! Like, together-together, I mean?!”
“N-no…” Hermann managed, feeling his face redden to never-before-experienced levels of crimson.
Finally Newton spoke up to come to his aid (rather belatedly, Hermann thought acerbically). “Uh, how about I just sling one arm around his shoulders, all buddy-buddy like. Would that work?” he asked.
Hello everyone! I would like to officially announce that while I am still leaving The LOCCENT, it will not be closing!!!! @earlysunsetting has offered to take over and is the new admin!
Hello everyone, you may have noticed that it's been quiet on the LOCCENT despite it being the middle of the Summer Bingo and I apologize for that. Unfortunately, IRL stuff is in the way and my heart just isn't in running the LOCCENT as much as it used to be.
With that said The LOCCENT will be closing down. Obviously, the AO3 collections and the blog will stay up, but there will be nothing more coming from this account.
If anyone wants to take over, I am more than happy to transfer the URL over to you, just shoot me an ask or a message.
I have loved being in the Pacific Rim fandom (and I'm still in it, I just don't have the time/energy to run this blog), and I love all of you and I hate to do this in the middle of the anniversary, but it's no longer something I can keep up with.

We've just finished our second week of Bingo and we have some delightful works in the AO3 collection to share!
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the
Organization for Transformative Works
Five times Newt saw Hermann drunk. Five times Hermann needed to hug the stuffing out of that infuriating little man. And one time Newt did the hugging.

Mako Mori wakes up in a hospital bed. She has missed…a lot. But that is to be expected when you’re presumed dead during an apocalypse event.
She has some catching up to do.

Finding out that they’re drift compatible is one thing, but waking up together? In Newton’s bed? It raises more questions than answers.
