Every middle aged and elderly woman I meet was once just a little girl. Every man I meet was once just a little boy. I love seeing peoples baby pictures because they all really do look like themselves. You can see their child self in their adult face. It’s always a part of you, it's not some separate entity and it's not only in the past, you carry every age with you. You will always be you.

Scipionyx samniticus
Holotype specimen (SBA-SA 163760)
Sources: 1, 2, 3
Also dubbed cagnolino ("little doggy, puppy") by its discoverer Giovanni Todesco, and Ciro by Italian magazine Oggi. The first dinosaur found in Italy, it's a very important fossil because it's one of few to fossilize internal organs!

I'm back because q!Fit is hurting my soul again.
He went from a mission and no one to having a son, a boyfriend who adores affectionately tormenting him, and several other islanders who would fight at his side if he needed help.
This man comes from a land where trusting someone could equal your death and the loss of all your hard-earned progress to a place they need one another to survive.
And those walls dropped quickly when it became outside evils intending to murder their children, needing to band together to even survive Quesadilla Island.
Assigned a child and learning to love him, Ramon was the first being to break the anarchist's shell. Allowing the smallest amount of light through to a long shaded heart, feeling the warmth of the tiniest pinprick of brightness that began to melt the ice formed around the organ covered in ancient wounds.
Protecting any youth even if they weren't your own, he found kinship in the eyes of a paranoid old blonde crow. He found reassurance and patience in the form of a beautiful man with nightsky hair who enchanted him slowly, waiting all the time he needed. He found whimsy following a sun-kissed brunette sprint through the server intent on building his factory who made him laugh with his antics.
Many, many more friends, far too many to even name which is something Fit never thought would happen.
He found people who cared, and asked nothing in return.
He found love. He found a family.
From a place of nothing; not even peaceful butterflies or shining fireflies among the lava casts and destroyed landscapes. The only insects were things that fed on decay and could blend into their surroundings all others far too easy a target and having died out long ago.
On this wonderful, healing new land Fit had found a harmony he never felt before. He found people who wanted to celebrate his birthday and shower him with gifts, begging him to let them protect him too.
He found a place he belonged and was missed in his absence. He found a place where his legacy wouldn't be reduced to a single line on the communicator if anything happened. People here made their chest warm with joy instead of dread, his soul so full of amazing memories in only eleven moons.
He found people who cared. And he's going to fight like fucking hell to keep them but now with the people he loves most at his side, refusing to leave him ever again.
