Line #10 Trivia/AbraxasHrodvitnon


1	* AscendedFanNickname: One of Monster X's {{Red Baron}}s brought in near the story's end originated as a FanNickname.
2	* AscendedFanon: 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 TheVerse well, including after the main fic's completion.
3	** The concept of Manda's soul being a MaybeMagicMaybeMundane {{reincarnation}} [[spoiler:of Serizawa]] without knowledge of his past life was originally suggested by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/2892616/ SyfyGuy2]] [[https://www.fanfiction.net/r/13357907/9/1/ in a review on FanFiction.Net]]. [[spoiler:Beforehand, the author intended Manda to be Serizawa BackFromTheDead, but implemented the ambiguous version of the idea in the actual fic instead so that Mandazawa wouldn't cheapen Vivienne's grieving arc]].
4	** [[AdaptationalHeroism Ren Serizawa]] [[spoiler:infiltrating Apex Cybernetics as a spy]] in this continuity is an idea that was [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/656804446114922496/ originally suggested on the author's Tumblr]] where it [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/656912062544543744/ gained some]] [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/656911739515011072/ further support]].
5	** The [=AbraxasVerse=] Timeline lifts up multiple ideas previously proposed by readers to this level; including [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/656615481710723072/ Monster X's actions on Skull Island]], [[spoiler:[[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/656615481710723072/ Simmons' possible pilot candidates for Mechagodzilla]]]], [[spoiler:Apex Cybernetics]] [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/658236651389255680/ genetically modif]][[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/658270350000422912/ ying Skullcrawlers]], [[spoiler:[[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/651541194447437824/ Dagon's bones being converted into Kiryu]] and [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/649747228243755008/ Apex creating Godzilla Jr.]]]].
6	** Ni/Elder Brother feeling rage at the Oxygen Destroyer taking Godzilla out even if that aided Ghidorah, because [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou he feels that Godzilla is Ghidorah's to kill]], was a concept that originally popped up in the [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/691602917794414592/ Shi AU]] RecursiveFanfiction by [[https://tardisspacemug.tumblr.com/ Tardisspacemug]], before the author made Ni's feelings canon to ''Abraxas'' a [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/709885319486554112/ snippet]] here.
7	** 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 BodyHorror on themselves, were both ideas which originated in a [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/687265375211094016/ post]] by [[https://zerm1v0hg.tumblr.com/ Zerm1v0hg]]/[[https://zerm2v0hg.tumblr.com/ Zerm2v0hg]] before the author canonized them in a [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/735206743682990080/ lore dump]], with Gigan and/or his fleet set to appear in an ''Fanfic/AbraxasEmptyFullness'' story.
8	** The events of the RecursiveFanfiction continuation, ''Fanfic/AbraxasTheClashOfSilver'' by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/SyfyGuy2 SyfyGuy2]]/[[https://zerm2v0hg.tumblr.com/ Zerm2v0hg]][[note]]which chronicles a possible take on how an [=AbraxasVerse=] version of the events of ''Film/GodzillaVsKong'' could have gone[[/note]], was eventually [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/747017348233543680/ made canon]] by the author two years later, after the release of ''Film/GodzillaXKongTheNewEmpire''.
9	* DeletedScene:
10	** The author [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/639136191232491520/ 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.
11	** She also [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/652286724156932096/ posted two scenes before the release of Chapter 17]] which were under consideration at the time but ultimately didn't make it in.
12	** She [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/656909793179631616/ provided]] a ReasonYouSuckSpeech for [=MaNi=]/Elder Brother which would've been in Chapter 17 but was also deleted.
13	** See [[Trivia/AbraxasTheClashOfSilver here]] for ''Abraxas: The Clash of Silver''.
14	* ProductionNickname: The author has [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/627546896761765888/ nicknames for Monster X's first two forms]] which aren't mentioned InUniverse. The author has also nicknamed the Many "[[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/631788490939580416/ Ghidorah-Flood]]" and has nicknamed their [[spoiler:reanimated Manda MindHive "[[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/641701739319459840/ Zombie Noodle]]"]], and she's nicknamed [[spoiler:the "shed skin" Ni/Elder Brother who's made a patchwork body out of the Many, [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/650840553121103872/ MaNi]]]]. Meanwhile, the original Manda's son is never referred to InUniverse as Mandazawa as the author's Tumblr has called him.
15	* RecursiveFanfiction: The author has [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/656929937241030656/ 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, [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/651627281599643648/ she's invited readers to do it]]. So far, Tumblr user [[https://cowabungaitis.tumblr.com/ cowabungitis]] has posted several interlude shorts, and [=SyfyGuy2=] has posted [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/40197696/ a collection of one-shots]] and a FanSequel [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/38446570/ chronicling an Abraxasverse-based version of the events of]] ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/38446570/ Godzilla vs. Kong]]''.
16	* ThrowItIn: Thor was an idea that came [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/616668234453794816/ while the author was in the middle of writing his debut chapter]].
17	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The author revealed she had several, [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/616668234453794816/ here]] and in the [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/20059573 Archive Of Our Own comments section]], and in several pages of her author's notes posted [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/687098471816314880/ here]].
18	** The author originally envisioned Monster X's first form as resembling Ghidorah with more western dragon influence, as she explained [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/20059573/chapters/47506306 here]].
19	** Originally, San and Vivi would've metamorphosed into their second form due to their HeroicRROD inducing a near-death experience.
20	** Vivienne was originally going to attempt suicide in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357907/5 Chapter 5]], which San would stop and then get upset due to not understanding why she'd do it.
21	** 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, [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/656371838537138176/ here]]. She also revealed [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/694529691570339840/ here]] that Vivienne's cranial horn would have originally looked a lot more like [[MythologyGag its inspiration]].
22	** Before [[ThrowItIn throwing in Thor]], the author had three ideas for how to kill off Jonah, and she revealed [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/708630548038500352/ here]] that the fic would have had a very different resolution.
23	** The author had [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/617234755275145216 two ideas for Ghidorah's origin story]]. The final backstory mainly uses the first idea, though certain elements of the second idea linger.
24	** [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/648764829724819456/ 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.
25	** The author [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/656383623278264320/ 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.
26	** The author revealed [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/668150068002553856/ here]] that she originally intended the Chapter 18 cover art to look a bit different, but it changed because of artist's block.
27	* WordOfGod: 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.
28	** 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 FlipFlopOfGod, 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.
29	** The author has described [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/685085904520527872/ here]] how Ghidorah will react if it hypothetically receives pity over its backstory, and also how it'll respond if it's asked AndThenWhat regarding what it'll do if it ever [[OmnicidalManiac runs out of life to kill]] (put simply, it'll be an IgnoredEpiphany 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 [[InTheirOwnImage repopulate the dead planets with new Ghidorah-derived lifeforms in Ghidorah's image]])."
30	** 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 WhatIf path: [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/637986068089716737/ 1]], [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/636684009279291392/ 2]], [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/640506016090423296/ 3]], [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/656541539637608448/ 4]], [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/656745903530639360/ 5]], [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/676003150839398400/ 6]], [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/684268982611640320/ 7]], [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/684453340154920960/ 8]], [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/686261811028361216/ 9]], [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/688985016945000448/ 10]], [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/709837667551035392/ 11]] and [[https://archiveofourown.org/comments/683203744 12]].
31	** Though Thor states in Chapter 13 that his son didn't have a name amongst ancient humans like Thor himself, [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/631528463412625408/ the author]] suggested Thor's son's death might have inspired the myths of Magni, and Jörmungandr killing Thor.
32	** She states [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/648950265099304960/ here]] that the [=AbraxasVerse=] version of Ren Serizawa, who debuted in the story before ''Film/GodzillaVsKong'' was released, still has Creator/ShunOguri's likeness but with a somewhat different fashion sense to in [=MonsterVerse=] canon.
33	** In [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/747931705213583360/ 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 [[BoisterousWeakling Amhuluk]] off.
34	* WorkingTitle: The author [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/648764829724819456/ originally considered]] calling the story ''In Your Bones, In Your Soul'' before choosing the title ''Abraxas''.
