As someone whose fandom in the Big G was cemented as early as 5 years old, let me just get in front of the other Olds and say: this short is fucking wonderful and fucking canon. 

And he knows how to deal with transphobes.

Nice to be reassured it’s still okay to be a Godzilla fan.

Do you want Snowpiercer? Because this is how you get Snowpiercer.

Not only is that woman holding that gun entirely wrong but she has her finger on the fucking trigger the whole time! Even her dipshit husband seems to know better than that. She should be arrested for reckless endangerment.
