Trivia / Abraxas (Hrodvitnon)

• Ascended Fan Nickname: One of Monster X's Red Barons brought in near the story's end originated as a Fan Nickname.
• Ascended Fanon: A lot of ideas that were originally suggested by readers of the fic were later canonized by the author into the AbraxasVerse if she found them appealing and thought they matched The 'Verse well, including after the main fic's completion.
  • The concept of Manda's soul being a Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane reincarnation of Serizawa without knowledge of his past life was originally suggested by SyfyGuy2 in a review on FanFiction.Net. Beforehand, the author intended Manda to be Serizawa Back from the Dead, but implemented the ambiguous version of the idea in the actual fic instead so that Mandazawa wouldn't cheapen Vivienne's grieving arc.
  • Ren Serizawa infiltrating Apex Cybernetics as a spy in this continuity is an idea that was originally suggested on the author's Tumblr where it gained some further support.
  • The AbraxasVerse Timeline lifts up multiple ideas previously proposed by readers to this level; including Monster X's actions on Skull Island, Simmons' possible pilot candidates for Mechagodzilla, Apex Cybernetics genetically modifying Skullcrawlers, Dagon's bones being converted into Kiryu and Apex creating Godzilla Jr..
  • Ni/Elder Brother feeling rage at the Oxygen Destroyer taking Godzilla out even if that aided Ghidorah, because he feels that Godzilla is Ghidorah's to kill, was a concept that originally popped up in the Shi AU Recursive Fanfiction by Tardisspacemug, before the author made Ni's feelings canon to Abraxas a snippet here.
  • Gigan in AbraxasVerse being the leader and master of an advanced alien fleet instead of vice versa, and said fleet being driven by Gigan's influence to insanely inflict Body Horror on themselves, were both ideas which originated in a post by Zerm1v0hg/Zerm2v0hg before the author canonized them in a lore dump, with Gigan and/or his fleet set to appear in an Abraxas: Empty Fullness story.
  • The events of the Recursive Fanfiction continuation, Abraxas: The Clash of Silver by SyfyGuy2/Zerm2v0hg^note which chronicles a possible take on how an AbraxasVerse version of the events of Godzilla vs. Kong could have gone, was eventually made canon by the author two years later, after the release of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.
• Deleted Scene:
  • The author posted one from her notes as a New Year's gift, detailing one of Jonah's alternate death scenes before his canon death in the story.
  • She also posted two scenes before the release of Chapter 17 which were under consideration at the time but ultimately didn't make it in.
  • She provided a "Reason You Suck" Speech for MaNi/Elder Brother which would've been in Chapter 17 but was also deleted.
  • See here for Abraxas: The Clash of Silver.
• Production Nickname: The author has nicknames for Monster X's first two forms which aren't mentioned In-Universe. The author has also nicknamed the Many "Ghidorah-Flood" and has nicknamed their reanimated Manda Mind Hive "Zombie Noodle", and she's nicknamed the "shed skin" Ni/Elder Brother who's made a patchwork body out of the Many, MaNi. Meanwhile, the original Manda's son is never referred to In-Universe as Mandazawa as the author's Tumblr has called him.
• Recursive Fanfiction: The author has stated that once the main story is completed, she intends to let the AbraxasVerse's fanbase have fun writing their own RF continuities and continuations based on the story — in fact, she's invited readers to do it. So far, Tumblr user cowabungitis has posted several interlude shorts, and SyfyGuy2 has posted a collection of one-shots and a Fan Sequel chronicling an Abraxasverse-based version of the events of Godzilla vs. Kong.
• Throw It In!: Thor was an idea that came while the author was in the middle of writing his debut chapter.
• What Could Have Been: The author revealed she had several, here and in the Archive Of Our Own comments section, and in several pages of her author's notes posted here.
  • The author originally envisioned Monster X's first form as resembling Ghidorah with more western dragon influence, as she explained here.
  • Originally, San and Vivi would've metamorphosed into their second form due to their Heroic RRoD inducing a near-death experience.
  • Vivienne was originally going to attempt suicide in Chapter 5, which San would stop and then get upset due to not understanding why she'd do it.
  • The author posted several unused concept designs for Monster X's final form and discussed elements that she really wanted to incorporate but couldn't make work, here. She also revealed here that Vivienne's cranial horn would have originally looked a lot more like its inspiration.
  • Before throwing in Thor, the author had three ideas for how to kill off Jonah, and she revealed here that the fic would have had a very different resolution.
  • The author had two ideas for Ghidorah's origin story. The final backstory mainly uses the first idea, though certain elements of the second idea linger.
  • Originally, Kraken was going to join Godzilla and Scylla in the fight in Chapter 15, but the author decided against it because she thought it would make things too crowded. The author also contemplated referencing Methuselah's activity in Siberia.
  • The author revealed that Monster X's transformation into its final form would've originally had a different catalyst, but she changed it to the version we got because she felt the original version made Viv and San seem inequal.
  • The author revealed here that she originally intended the Chapter 18 cover art to look a bit different, but it changed because of artist's block.
• Word of God: The author has a lot of bits under certain tags (not all of them fall under the same tag) on her Tumblr account, plus more in the Archive Of Our Own comments section.
  • Ghidorah identifies as male, but in the sense that it understands the concept of gender and it doesn't really care about it. This appears to be Flip-Flop of God, as Monster X's DNA has male and female chromosomes (the former apparently inherited from the Ghidorah half) in Chapter 7, and San emphasizes the gender difference between brothers and sisters when speaking of Ghidorah's past in Chapter 10 as if the species that Ghidorah hailed from are dioecious.
  • The author has described here how Ghidorah will react if it hypothetically receives pity over its backstory, and also how it'll respond if it's asked And Then What? regarding what it'll do if it ever runs out of life to kill (put simply, it'll be an Ignored Epiphany which results in Ghidorah changing its end-goal from "kill everything that can be killed until there's nothing left to kill" to "kill everything that can be killed and then repopulate the dead planets with new Ghidorah-derived lifeforms in Ghidorah's image)."
  • The author has a couple times discussed in some detail what kinds of for-want-of-a-nail ripple effects it would create if certain events of the story or its wider universe diverged down a What If? path: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.
  • Though Thor states in Chapter 13 that his son didn't have a name amongst ancient humans like Thor himself, the author suggested Thor's son's death might have inspired the myths of Magni, and Jörmungandr killing Thor.
  • She states here that the AbraxasVerse version of Ren Serizawa, who debuted in the story before Godzilla vs. Kong was released, still has Shun Oguri's likeness but with a somewhat different fashion sense to in MonsterVerse canon.
  • In this post, she described Kraken, Amhuluk and Camazotz's personalities and how they compare and contrast to their MonsterVerse canon characterizations, and she revealed that after Camazotz's defeat on the AbraxasVerse Timeline, he's helpful in neutralizing any remnants of the Many that come across him in his dormancy. She also revealed that Dr. Stanton made a suggestion to blast music from speakers as a means to scare Amhuluk off.
• Working Title: The author originally considered calling the story In Your Bones, In Your Soul before choosing the title Abraxas.
