GENLOSS RULEBOOK

EVERYTHING that is released on the TWITTER, YOUTUBE, WEBSITE (merch not included), or any other OFFICIAL page is CANONICAL to the story. EVERYTHING BENEATH THE LINE IN THE DESCRIPTIONS IS NOT. This means credits/anything else. EVERYTHING THAT IS ON RANBOO ACCOUNTS is NOT canon to the story. (This includes discord messages) Ill update things as I see them here, but this is the general rules that I am going to stick to from here on out!

A thing I noticed about Newt and Hermann

When we learn that Newt and Hermann have "sides" of the lab, Hermann is positioned on the left side of the room; Newt on the right side:

Their respective sides of the room appear to be separated by a yellow line - one which they obviously did not put there themselves, but effectively adopted as a boundary marker.

Newt is a little stinker about the whole thing and lets his stuff sprawl out over the line quite a bit:

Hermann apparently tolerates the tables and trays, but the kaiju viscera - the physical symbol of one of Newt's biggest passions right now - is not allowed. He shoves it back over to Newt's side of the room.

And then we all knows what happens next: Newt does his kaiju drift experiment, and Hermann sees just how determined Newt is to gain intel that will help them fight the kaiju. Knowing that Newt would get hurt in a second drift, he offers to drift with him so he won't be taking the entire brunt of the hivemind again. In doing so, Hermann is opening himself up to Newt - he's allowing Newt to see and feel anything that passes through his mind during the drift, including some painful childhood memories.

At the end of the film, we see Hermann and Newt standing in LOCCENT, once again positioning Hermann on the left and Newt on the right:

And then! We see Hermann scoot over toward Newt's side of the screen:

WATCH OUT LITTLE GERMAN BOY, NEWT'S SIDE OF THE SCREEN IS FULL OF GRABBENHUGGEN... Oh! Oh, he LIKES it!!!

So! Hermann has gone from (symbolically) pushing Newt away, to taking the initiative in approaching Newt physically, emotionally, and presumably intellectually.

I think, then, that it would be very thematically appropriate if what followed was Hermann sitting down with Newt, and asking him to tell him about kaiju biology and what his favorite monster movies are and why, and listening with absolute appreciation for everything Newt says.

everyone shut the fuck up and look at lil nas x and the wiggles
