Ik the raptors from jurassic park/world arent the real thing, even in the 3rd movie I think that Alan guy says that what they created for the park arent dinossaurs they are monsters
But they are cool and scary as they are supposed to be in the movie, if they put the real ones no one would be scared they are such lil guys lil chicken dudes
i have this impression that the jurassic series influenced how people see dinosaurs a lot and thus I really like what Paleo Pines does - picturing dinos as just fluffy guys vibing around. even the tyrannosaurus looks cuddly
like there's this dinosaur fan on my server and he mentioned therizinosaurus in jurassic world being a "territorial freak". paleo pines' therizinosaurus? possibly the friendliest looking dino in whole game. it looks like it was constantly doing a 👉👈

look at this little smile!

How the FUCK do you draw DRAGON FACES AND EYES
I can get the body and head down ya know? but its the damn FACE that fucks me up when drawing faces
So if its not to much of a burden, could you please give some tips on how to draw dragon faces?
oh boy i am the Wrong person to ask lmfao - when drawing dragon faces 90% of the time im confused and fucking it up 20 times before getting it right and the other 10% is just "wait how the fuck did i do that? nice! anyway"
i've been drawing dragons for so long that the drawing process is almost entirely subconscious! and i'm not entirely sure what you mean by Faces instead of heads! but i can still attempt to offer Some advice - specific references, that kinda thing
uh i think one thing that's good to keep in mind is that dragons (typically - dragons are a Wide range of shapes and sizes so this is technically subjective) have Binocular Vision. forward facing eyes! just like us, predator animals, birds of prey. personally i like to mainly study dinosaur skulls when working on how i draw dragons, especially raptors and tyrannosaurs. i think dinosaurs are a Really good reference since they're pretty much the closest thing we have to real life dragons. so the eyes are generally higher than the snout or level with the top of it. tldr: understanding that they have forward facing eyes helps shape and Place the eyes correctly.
i'm not sure if i can help with the Shape of eyes? i tend to draw eyes mostly the same no matter what i scribble. but Another thing i'd recommend using as a reference - specifically for the snout and how it bunches / how the muscles move - is look at pictures of wolves snarling / facially expressing. they are a Great base point.
with the eyebrows/eyeridges uh. i suppose they tend to be rectangular! or Oblong! just flexible little logs placed over the eyes. they tend to be level with where the top of the head is. again i will recommend looking up photos of Tyrannosaurus Rex Facing Forward, they have some great ridges
but yeah just! look around! play around with facial structure and what feels/looks right To You! look up those expression sheets/memes and use 'em for practice, they're great for that! and as i will always say - Dragons Dont Look Just One Way! Fuck Around And Find Out What's Dragon To You!
oh, and also look at anthro art. there's a lot of really good anthro art that can help show you how to place/move facial features on an animal with forward-facing eyes and much room for expression <3

Can we get a review on the Tyrunt line please? It's honestly kinda underrated in my eyes for being an actual Tyrannosaurus rex Pokemon.
Tumblr media
It's kind of surprising it took us until gen 6 to get a T-rex Pokemon. For what it is, I like the design; the jagged shapes and small horns give it an interesting profile that reminds me a bit of some early Gen 1 Pokemon, and the orange accents and white mane break up the design just enough to keep it simple without being overly complicated.
I also appreciate that it's somewhat similar to its evo, but has enough changes that it feels warranted as its own thing. I do wish the underbelly and jaw were white instead of gray, as that would be higher-contrast and would simplify the palette, but everything else is good.
Tumblr media
Tyrantrum also has a pretty decent design overall, with a vague royalty theme; the white jaw looks like a beard, the orange a crown, and the mane a ruff on a cloak. It works pretty well overall.
I do, however, think it suffers from a bit of over-detailing. I love the layered plates on areas like the tail and legs—gives it a very distinct shape and texture—but literally showing the individual scales in spots clutters it a bit. Just having the orange scales and nothing else would've been more than enough.
Likewise, the gray stripe on the underbelly also makes it feel a bit busy. The white stripes are probably supposed to represent a robe lining, but it doesn't read that well and isn't really needed. I would've just stuck to having the underbelly be all white and the upper jaw being either orange or red. Those are obviously minor nitpicks, but they stand out to me none-the-less.
I think if this line has one problem, it's that it's fairly straightforwardly Just A T-Rex. Yes, it has the royalty theme, but other Pokemon have done that theme better—and it's so subtle you'd be forgiven for not noticing it. Like I said, there's nothing particularly bad about the design, but I personally find them a bit forgettable compared to the more unique fossils we've gotten before.
I think one angle they could take to spice up this line a bit would be a regional. Rather than it being a modern-day adaptation, it could be that different forms of Tyrantrum lived in different regions, so those modern-day regions restore the regional variants that lived there. Alternatively, maybe something akin to a mega or paradox that plays with what they used to actually look like millions of years ago:
Tumblr media
(Side note: I believe it's currently thought in the scientific community that IRL T-rexes did not have feathers, but hey, fantasy creature.)
Tumblr media
Overall, this a fine line. Not one of the most memorable fossil 'mons out there, but the design is good and it should be plenty pleasing to anyone wanting a T-rex Pokemon.

Unpredictable // Chapter One
Tumblr media
Ian Malcolm x Original Female Character / masterlist
Chapter Summary: Lyanna Grant, niece to Alan Grant finds herself working on her uncle's latest dig site.
Unpredictable Tag List: (send an ask to be added to a tag list!)
Tumblr media
Palaeontology. It was not an occupation that was extremely popular these days. However, it's always been what Lyanna wanted to do. Ever since she was young and visited the local museum for the first time. She must have been around eight. Her uncle had waited until she was old enough to remember the shock and awe of the things on display. Lyanna could remember gazing up at the razor-sharp teeth jutting out of the jaw of the tyrannosaurus skeleton and she knew. She just knew. This was it for her. Nothing could ever even come close.
 
Since that oh-so-fateful day, Lyanna became obsessed with the flora and fauna of the past. She read every book she could find, read every article, and found every fact. She collected figures and fossils and studied the subject furiously. It paid off well considering where she was at now, she supposed. 
Lyanna was now one of the most well-known palaeontologists in the modern world... although she suspected that part of her reputation may have some due credit to her being the niece of Alan Grant, a professor and world-famous palaeontologist himself. They’d both written a book. His about the evolution of the dinosaurs and hers about the different types of creatures from different eras throughout the prehistoric periods and how ecological changes then impacted the way the animals evolved in turn. 
Only a few years ago, Lyanna had finally gotten her Ph.D. certifications in palaeontology and had right off the bat found herself out in the field helping her uncle dig up dinosaurs. Sure, it could be considered mild nepotism but it was great working with family because she didn't feel so alone when she started working in Montana with him. It was a huge leap for her career not having to start at the very bottom of the palaeontological food chain. Alan made sure that the transition was as comfortable as possible. Lyanna really couldn't have asked for a better uncle slash boss...
"You alright there?" Dylan asked, breaking her from her thoughts and redirecting her attention to the task at hand. 
"Yeah," she replied wistfully. "Sorry, I was just thinking." Dylan was another graduate from Lyanna’s class. Alan had picked him up too when she’d graduated, claiming that new blood would be good for the digs. And it had been, given that they had a pretty constant trickle and turnover of volunteers as they grew bored with the heat and the sand.
"About what?" He asked curiously, fingering the dust out of a fossilised eye socket. 
"Just about how lucky I am," Lyanna replied with a small smile. She really was, and because she was self-aware about it, it made it easier to appreciate just how far she’d come in such a short time.
Dylan snorted and returned to the work at hand. They were currently excavating the skeleton of a Velociraptor. Lyanna was brushing away the few stray sands that were still on the pelvic bone of the creature. 
"You know, I'd hate to meet a raptor on a dark Friday night. Look at those teeth- they’d shred through you like a mandolin,” he winced, glancing up at Lyanna quickly.
"Yeah, I completely agree. It would be terrifying. Thankfully, a giant meteor crashed into the earth and prevented that, hey?" She laughed, pleased with her joke. Dylan chuckled and shook his head in mock irritation. “Though it wouldn’t necessarily shred you. See-” Lyanna ran a finger over the teeth worn through with time. 
“They’re built to grip and tear the flesh from the bones, so it would be more like…” Lyanna searched for some kind of analogy that would make more sense. “Getting stuck in a bear trap. You’re not going to be able to get out of it without ripping half of your leg off unless you unlatch the jaws.” 
"Doctor Grant? We're ready to try again." Lyanna heard the voice say from across the site. She clutched at her hat as a gust of dry wind tried to blow it away. 
"I'm going to go check this out, okay?" She said to Dylan while standing up and brushing herself off. He nodded distractedly and kept working. It wouldn’t be long now until they’d be able to get the bones out and shipped off for analysis and study. 
Glancing one more time at the partially exhumed skeleton, Lyanna stepped out from under the cover and immediately felt the beating hot Montana sun on her back. If she wasn’t sweating before, she certainly was now. 
During her short time working with her uncle, Lyanna had acquired a golden tan that covered most of her body except the parts of herself that were shielded by her clothes. It was almost like she wore tan gloves and thigh-highs. It was a good thing she didn’t get about much without a longer-sleeved shirt or shorts on. Lyanna made a mental note to try and get the rest of herself tanned up the next time she hit town. 
Before she came to the desert wasteland that she now called home, Lyanna was quite pale. Many of her friends constantly joked about how she was probably a vampire because of the paleness of her skin and because of how she spent most of her nights studying deep into the early hours of the morning. That was, of course, before she made it out to Montana and was dead asleep by ten in the evening most nights from all the hot sun and hard labour during the day. 
Lyanna started jogging when she felt and heard the soft lead pellet enter the ground over by the scanner tent. She wanted to see how the new technology worked, given that this was likely the future of archaeology and she’d need to know if she hoped to run her own digs someday.
She reached the area just in time for an image of a Velociraptor to pop up on the computer screen. Damn. She missed it. There was always next time, she supposed. 
"This new program is incredible. A few more years of development, and we won't even have to dig anymore," Danny, working at the computer said. Lyanna did not miss the tone of barely contained glee in his voice.
"I hope not," Lyanna spoke, making her presence known to the group gathered around the computer. “I only just joined this circus.” 
“Absolutely,” Alan turned around and grinned at her knowingly. “Where’s the fun in that?”
"It looks in good shape," Lyanna said, gesturing to the image on the screen and leaning in for a better look.
"Chip off the old block you are,” Alan smiled slyly, quiet pride shining through his features. “Yes, it looks about five maybe six feet high. I'm guessing about nine feet long," he reached up and accidentally touched the screen, making the image distort and flicker.
"What'd you do?" He asked Danny, pursing his lips disdainfully.
"You touched it. Dr Grant isn't machine-compatible," Ellie said with a laugh. Lyanna nudged at her shoulder and tried to contain her laughter. If there was one thing Alan hated above all else- it was technology. 
While Ellie wasn’t a blood relative, Lyanna still considered Ellie her aunt. She basically was her second mother, considering how she’d been around since Lyanna was quite young. She’d taken her on and supported Lyanna when she needed it, and was a huge source of motivation for her to finish her studies when she’d struggled and hit hiccups along the way.
"Hell, they've got it in for me," Alan added in agreement, touching the top of the makeshift dust shield over the monitor screen.
The image corrected itself and Alan continued assessing the skeleton.
"Look at this," he said, turning to the group of volunteers behind him. "It's no wonder these guys learned how to fly." The group chuckled, not seeing the similarities between the two types of skeletons. It wasn’t a popular opinion shared amongst the scientific community, but knowing Alan as she did, Lyanna knew he wasn’t likely to soon give up on proving it. 
"No seriously,” Lyanna piped up, “he's right. Do you see the pubic bone, turned backwards like a bird?" She asked, backing him up.
"It's true. Dinosaurs have more in common with modern-day birds than they do with reptiles," Alan bounced off her comment, turning to face the group. Ah, here is where they got the scientific benefits from their volunteering.
"Look at the vertebrae, full of air sacs and hollows, just like a bird's and even the word "raptor" means ‘bird of prey’." 
Lyanna could see that Alan was going to get into one of his infamous rants, and she noticed a couple of volunteers back up a step as if to wander off and do something else. 
"That doesn't look very scary. More like a six-foot turkey," they heard a kid's voice from the back of the group call out. Lyanna sighed before rubbing the sand and sweat from her forehead. This was the downside to having volunteers. She would be lying, however, if Lyanna said she didn’t laugh after seeing Alan's reaction.
"Here we go,” Ellie chuckled, knowing what was about to happen.
 
"Okay then, imagine yourself in the Cretaceous period," Alan began, walking forward and fishing out his raptor claw that he had acquired back on his first-ever dig right out of university. Lyanna could remember many days in his study when he was home between digs fiddling with it and imagining the beast that used to be connected to it. She considered it an heirloom and secretly hoped that Alan did, too. 
"You get your first look at this ‘six-foot turkey’. He moves like a bird, lightly bobbing his head.” Alan moved slowly towards the kid, Johnny, Lyanna thought his name was. “You keep still because you think that maybe his visual acuity is based on movement like a T-Rex and he'll lose you if you don't move.” He shook his hand, imitating movement. 
"But no," he paused, "not Velociraptor. You stare at him and he just stares right back." By this point, all of the volunteers and workers were captivated by Alan's words, hasty escapes forgotten. Lyanna was too, to be honest. But then again, she’d been enraptured by Alan’s words since she’d been a tot, so it wasn’t all that different to usual.
"And that's when the attack comes," he raised his hands, bringing his two pointer fingers up side by side to show that raptors didn't hunt by themselves. "Not from the front, but from the sides. From the other two raptors you didn't even know were there," he and Lyanna both smirked. Alan stood up straight.
"Because Velociraptors are pack hunters... they use coordinated attack patterns and he attacks you with this," he raised the claw to show Johnny, whose eyes widened comically.
"A six-inch retractable claw, like a razor, on the middle toe," Alan placed the claw between his index and middle finger, showing him where the claw would have been situated. "He doesn't bite your jugular like a lion, no. He slashes at you here or here," he said, raking the claw along different places of the kid's torso.
"Or maybe your belly. Spilling your intestines," he then smiled, crouching down again so that his eyes were level with Johnny’s. "The point is... you are alive when they start to eat you," he grins, satisfied with the reaction he had elicited.
Even Lyanna thought he might have gone a little far. 
Johnny nods and hurries off. Alan turned and chuckled after seeing the look on Ellie's face. She didn’t look particularly impressed, but she also looked amused, so Alan must have known he wasn’t in too much trouble.
"Johnny is probably going to have nightmares now, Alan," Lyanna snorted, crossing her arms playfully. 
"There's nothing to be afraid of. They've been dead for 65 million years," he said factually. 
"It's the power of the imagination," she responded, tapping the side of his head. He smiled down at her and patted her shoulder affectionately.
The three of them started walking up the hill that separated them from the rest of the camp.
"You know, if you wanted to scare the kid you could have pulled a gun on him," Ellie laughed, pulling the brim of her bucket hat down to shield her face from the beating sun.
"Yeah, I know. I can't believe you want to have one of those," Alan replied, gesturing back towards the scanner area where the volunteers were wheeling the new equipment out of the sun.
"I don't think she wants that particular kid," Lyanna laughed, wiping another layer of sweat from her forehead.
"Exactly. I mean, a breed of child would be intriguing. What's so wrong with kids?" Ellie asked, squinting at Alan. 
"Oh Ellie... they're noisy, they're messy, they're expensive," Alan listed, trekking up the sand dune.
Ellie and Lyanna both laughed but she could see where he was coming from. Life was becoming more expensive by the day. One or two probably wouldn’t break the average person’s bank, though. 
"They smell," Alan added after a second of consideration.
"They do not smell!" Ellie laughed, shaking her head at the audacity.
"Babies smell," he reasoned, pointing an accusatory finger at her. He had her there, Lyanna supposed. 
Before Ellie could answer, there was a loud rumbling coming from the sky.
"Is that a chopper?" Lyanna asked, shielding her eyes from the bright midday sun. 
"We aren’t due for another inspection,” Alan replied just as the black machine came into view. Then he thought about it for another moment. “Are we?”
"I don't know but let's find out,” Lyanna thought out loud as the chopper started to come down towards the ground. And not on the dedicated landing strip either, she noticed.
“Oh shit,” she exclaimed suddenly, bolting into motion. “The dig!”

Gen VI, Complete!
You read that correctly, we've made it through PokeFrance (Official term for Kalos, honest!) and have compiled the data!
With that said, let us begin the usual look at this generations...
Sultans of Smash!
(Which is just my fancy way of saying they got more "Smash" than "Pass" votes)
So come with me on this fabulous journey in smashing! Our Smashables are (under the Read More because, you know, this gonna take a while):
1. So for this generation, we do have three starters on the list! But, sadly, Chesnaught couldn't make it. So for our first starter, we instead have our second middle evolution, Braixen! Suppose it's not hard to see why, everyone loves magical girls and Braixen certainly counts! Counts enough to get a 66.4% Smash rating, which is pretty good says I.
2. But far surpassing Braixen is the greatest of Pokemon fire mages, Delphox! And when I say surpass, I mean really surpasses! Delphox has the honor of being the first Starter Pokemon to make it into the Gods of Smash, with a mighty 80.9% Smash rating! There's no stopping the magic of this witch! ...Side note, I think I will be naming my next Delphox "Browser", because she's a Firefox. (Ba-Dum-Tss)
3. Similar to the samurai, ninja have long been one of the more interesting mainstays of Japanese pop culture (especially abroad), and are almost always popular. So it's understandable that Pokemon's own ninja, Greninja, would have their fair share of friends and admirers! And with a smash rating of 72.5% in Standard Form, god damn what fans they have! The Ash-Greninja form, while not quite as popular Standard Form, also makes it in with a 52% Smash rating! Looks like not even a ninja of this calibur can hide how smashable they are.
4. This next Pokemon has a pretty accurate name. Florges, a combination of "Flower" and Gorgeous", certainly describes them pretty well if you ask me! And judging by that solid 67.8% Smash rating she's earned herself, I'd say many of y'all agree!
5. Everyone knows the "Jerk with a Heart of Gold" character archetype, and the closely related "Bruiser with a Soft Center". And it cannot be understated that these character archetypes are super popular. So of course, combining them into a single Pokemon and making that Pokemon a panda? Instant recipe for success, I'm sure! And said Pokemon exists in the form of Pangoro! Are they loved? I dunno, let's ask that 67.9% Smash rating of theirs. ...Survey says yes.
6. Many of us love cats, but often wish it was easier to understand them (or at the very least make ourselves understood to them). Fortunately for the Pokemon universe, they do have cats that can understand us and be more easily understood in the form of the psychic Meowstic! Coming in at 68.1% Smashable for Female Meowstic and 59.3% Smashable for Male Meowstic, it seems some of y'all really appreciate these cats! ...Now if only Female Meowstic didn't tend to fall into the French/Kalosian stereotype of being kind of a jerk (according to the Pokedex, anyways)
7. If there's two things I've seen a number of tumblr users like, it's tentacles and hypno stuff. So with that in mind, Malamar having both makes it very unsurprising they've gained entry to the Sultans of Smash! That said, at a 51.7% Smash rating, I have to admit I expected larger numbers. But anyways... Wait wha- ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOSQUID.
8. It's a tale as old as time, people look at the Tyrannosaurus Rex as a kid and think "That's them, that's the coolest fucking dinosaur ever!" While some move on or get different favorite dinosaurs, for some that passion never fades. And that passion for the majestic t.Rex, it seems, translates itself onto Tyrantrum! And at 53% Smashability, seems this king will have no reason to go on a tantrum. (Thank god, I don't think we could handle the repair bills to the property if they did...)
9. The Aurora Borealis has fascinated humans since they've first been able to observe that wondrous display of light. Thankfully for those of us who don't live in polar regions, the color-changing sails of Aurorus can help capture the beauty of such a natural phenomenon! Certainly, many of you have expressed a desire to admire this Pokemon up close and personal, if that 65.9% smash rating is any indication! Though really, the ice crystals and geometric patterns on their scales also do a lot for the appeal of this cool customer.
10. Attention everyone, it is once again Real Eeveelution Hours! And for this list's Eeveelution, we have everyone's favorite walking trans flag, Sylveon! With their extendable ribbons, piercing blue eyes, and 69.3% Smash rating, it seems Sylveon continues the time-honored Eeveelution tradition of being absolutely smashable!
11. Hear me out here, what if snails and slugs were also... Dragons? If your answer to learning this was "Oh fuck yeah that sounds awesome!", then I have Good News! This Snail/Slug Dragon I proposed is a thing in the form of Goodra, with Kalosian Goodra being more slug-like and Hisuian Goodra being more snail-like! However people like them though, considering Kalosian Goodra has a 71.4% Smash rating and Hisuian Goodra has a 61.6% rating, it's clear people do like these dragons quite a bit.
12. It may not be Halloween, but for many of us there's always time for Jack-o'-Lanterns! And with Gourgeist, the next Pokemon on our list, you can have a jack-o'-lantern that can also be smashed, something a number of you want if that 50.4% Smash rating is any indication!
13. And next up on the list, we have a noisy one! Ever wondered what would happen if bats could be loud enough to shatter anything by yelling at it? Well, if Noivern and their 68% Smash rating is any indication, the answer is "People would want to smash it!" Though really, looking at them, I can safely say you'd have to be blind as a bat to not see the appeal. Sorry, the pun had to be made.
14. I'm gonna be honest, I tried thinking long and hard on how to be crafty with my statement regarding this next one, but I just can't do it. I'd need more than one lifetime to make something fitting enough for this majestic deer! Fortunately, Xerneas can give one all the time in the world they need to think of stuff! And judging by that 66.5% Smash rating, I think a few of y'all have a few ideas on what to do with all the time Xerneas' immortality will give you...
15. But where there's life, there must, sadly, be death. Fortunately, death is this case is the very cool looking Yveltal, who has achieved an impressive 63.5% Smash rating! Seems that for some of y'all, "Death comes for you" has a different meaning...
16. Balance is an important part of any ecosystem. Too much death and you have no ecosystem, but too much life and you risk one particular part of that ecosystem overwhelming the rest. Fortunately, to prevent this from happening, Zygarde is here! And judging by how 50% Forme has a 52.3% Smash rating and Complete Forme has a 61.2% Smash rating, I'd say a number of you wish to show Zygarde your appreciation.
17. Diamonds are great. They're shiny, they're stupidly hard to damage, and they can come in a variety of colors! And that's just in our universe, the Pokemon universe is lucky and has Diancie, a living diamond Pokemon! And if Standard Form's 56.1% Rating and Mega Diancie's 65.3% rating is any indication, Diancie also adds "Very smashable" to the list of good diamond traits!
18. And for the finale, I present to you... Another Pokemon who only had an alternate form get in? Yep! It's Hoopa, the genie in a bottle Pokemon! Specifically, it's Hoopa Unbound, who makes it in with a 55.6% Smash rating! And with his rings, they'll show you the wo- Eh? What? Copyright law?! Damn it! Ok my lawers just advised me to not finish that joke, so sadly I can't leave y'all on the Aladdin reference. But I can say that considering Hoopa has a history of stealing treasure with their rings, I'm beginning to suspect some of y'all have a thing for Pokemon with criminal tendencies...
And thus is the Gen VI Who's Who of Smashing concluded, bringing us up to 136 Sultans of Smash! Well then let's see what's next... Gen VII? Oh man, we've got some choice Sultans of Smash incoming...!

Yes, I do indeed enjoy King Kong's magnificent franchise – let alone the main character himself. I mean, what is there not to love about his film series and other? He rules over a mystical island with dinosaurs and gigantic insects and arachnids, he can take on military crafts like they were merely mechanical mosquitoes (even though not all of his incarnations survived), he faced off against a robotic counterpart of himself as well as Godzilla, the King of the Monsters, and even HIS robotic counterpart. Kong, regardless if he is the last of his species, is simply that godly beast among primates. And you would think that mankind dominated the realm of great apes until seeing this bad boy in action on a screen or on stage. I truthfully do not understand how this monstrous superstar doesn't yet have his name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame unlike his Japanese rival of the monster subgenre, which absolutely surprises to me.
Not only has King Kong given so much influence for other giant monster films like Godzilla and Gamera, but had managed to change the way of Hollywood filmmaking itself. Granted, his first motion picture in history was rather controversial, but nevertheless, it was a stop-motion phenomenon for adventure, horror and science fiction. To this day, I am always going to feel proud to have known the Eighth Wonder of the World since I was but a three-year-old boy. I even remember when my mother first gave me that little black T-shirt of the Peter Jackson iteration of Kong fighting a Vastatosaurus rex (the 2005 film's supposed descendant species of Tyrannosaurus rex). I even played with an action figure of that same version of the King Kong character until it somehow got damaged one day.
Oh, how those memories glide through my brain every now and then. I cannot be any happier with life in popular culture knowing that I won't get away from the righteous ruler of Skull Island (and Hollow Earth) anytime soon. And although I may not expect myself to be a father one day, but if I become one anyway, I wish my children might carry on the fanatic spirit for such a tremendously fantastic franchise if they were to start getting into monster fiction.
But enough of these extended thoughts. Feel welcome to hit this post up with a Like (❤️) if you are also enthusiastic about the legendary King of the Primates.

If you were able to live in the house of a giant creature's skeleton, what creature would you like most? You may describe the image of this place of living in as much detail as you like.
I'm going to assume that the structural integrity of this creature is perfectly sound, such that if I, for example, have like a cool room at the end of a long tail or something, said tail isn't likely to just snap off from the rest of the body. I'm also gonna assume that despite this being a skeleton, that it's somehow properly insulated to keep me cosy, and also I suppose just magically people can't see inside of it so I'm afforded some privacy.
From here, I think two primary options are calling to me. The first is just a supersized tyrannosaurus rex, a decision informed primarily by cool factor but I also think there'd be a good amount of space to really just have all the necessities of a home. Big old living room in the ribcage, maybe a nice bedroom in the skull using the eyeslots as windows, stuff like that.
The second one I came up with is actually a giraffe - which could be annoying to navigate through in terms of grrr tall = lots of stairs, but that's exercise baby and that's good for you. Usual ribcage as main living space stuff but I like the idea of a giraffe specifically so I can use the skull as a sort of observatory, having a super high up spot ideally devoid of light pollution with which to gaze at the night sky. Would be fun.

@statementlou I know I'm gonna fuck this up because I don't use Spotify and I tried to see if Anghami has 'on repeat' feature but it doesn't! I do have a Spotify account that I rarely use so I thought I'd see what's on repeat there and even though there are songs I know and have listened to in passing, I don't think they warrant a place on my repeat playlist...Unless I'm not understanding the purpose of the on repeat feature.
So if I shuffle this magical list of random songs I know but don't listen to frequently, these are the top 10:
Stereo Love- Gym Class Heroes & Adam Levine (Que???? I had to play it to see which one it is and I recognize it but I don't ever remember playing this. Also if I was to play a GCH song it'll be Cookie Jar thank you very much, so we're off to a bad start already)
Like a Prayer-Madonna (Ummmm I guess who doesn't love belting this out from time to time?)
Baby Don't Hurt Me-David Guetta and a couple of randos (I'm sorry, I barely ever listened to the original one wtf would I listen to a remixed one?)
Where is My Mind-Pixies (Finally something that makes sense! I love this song thank fuck there's something normal on here)
Sic Transit Gloria...Glory Fades-Brand New (This is funny because I do listen to that album frequently on Anghami so this makes but at the same time doesn't make more sense)
All the Small Things-Blink 182 (Can't complain. can't fucking complain)
Cold-Crossfade (OMG what is this? Is this 2003 again??I swear I haven't listened to this song or anything by Cold since early 2000's)
Abra Cadavar-The Hives (OKAY. Yes this tracks. I love the song. I've listened to it and that album plenty of times. I think I even searched that album on Spotify once so I'd understand why it could be there. Tyrannosaurus Hives has one of the best Hives songs btw)
Always-Blink 182 (I'm surprised this is on here. Am I really surprised though? All the songs make no fucking sense. I feel like if this list made any fucking sense, Feeling This would be somewhere here. Anyways yay for more Blink 182!)
Jerk it Out-Caesars (NO WHAT?? I haven't listened to this song since before Spotify even existed! Like anywhere! Last time I listened to it was probably on a ripped CD on my walkman. This song was actually on repeat during 2005-2007. If I remember correctly it was on the fifa04 soundtrack and it'd come on while you're picking your team. Side note: They had some kick ass songs on the fifa04 soundtrack tbf. I got introduced to bands like Crystal Method, Kasabian and Kings of Leon. That was the first song I ever heard of KoL (Red Morning Light) and I was like yep this band is awesome and then obsessed over them for a decade.
Ok so it still stands, most of these songs haven't even been played on spotify never mind on repeat...but it got better towards the end. I wish Anghami had this function so I could get a better picture. I DON'T KNOW I feel like I understood/did this wrong. Is it not supposed to show the songs i most listen to on repeat???
I'm still laughing at Cold-Crossfade being on there though.

Okay, semi serious post now with more tags and pics
I've been working on a dinosaur-themed video game on and off since 10th grade (I'm about to be a college sophomore if that helps showing how long it's been). It's supposed to be like The Isle or Beasts of Bermuda, but with a lot more prehistoric creatures from all parts of Earth's history (and I'm planning on including some living fossils and recently extinct creatures such as the Dodo and Rodrigues solitaire). And because of the multi-player capabilities, I'd want the game to have boss battles with hybrids.
Here are some concept art pieces for said boss battles.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These two are colored
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And these are currently just sketches
I've lately been working on a document filled with game mechanisms and creature classes to keep everything more organized. Here's the Google Doc version of it in case you want to suggest ideas or modifications!
(I'm also looking to migrate everything on Google Drive to somewhere new, so I'd appreciate suggestions on where i could go)
Tumblr media
(Side view of Sacabambaspis)
My goal is to make a video game that, like it's predecessors and inspirations, teaches people about the world before humans in a fun and accurate way. My designs aee supposed to be as close to accurate as possible but without making boring designs.
Tumblr media
(Side View of Liliensternus)
But also, I'll be including a couple groups of playable creatures that show how we used to think prehistoric creatures looked like and how fictional and outdated media has fundamentally changed how certain creatures are portrayed in media (you'll have to wait for a future post to go into detail about that, but here's a picture of the "Fantasy T rex" that I'll be making. It's based off the Jurassic Park and Walking with Dinosaurs Tyrannosaurus)
Tumblr media
I've counted everything up, and it turns out even though I didn't grab every prehistoric creature discovered, I still have a bunch of work to do regarding 3d modelling, texturing, mechanic planning, rigging and everything else that comes with a game.
Tumblr media
(Side view of Simosuchus)
I'll leave my Kofi here in case you feel like financially supporting me. And if you do, let me know with proof and I'll gladly draw something of your choice! Don't feel like you have to though, I'd appreciate any sort of suggestion regarding my game design just as much!
Thank you for listening to me talk about my project! I'll probably be back in the future with more in depth posts, including sneak peeks at DLCs and my design process for the in-game designs.

12 Days Of Christmas Day 12
Tumblr media
.... Tumblr gave to me:
@zia-zia-bo-bia @there-is-another-skywalker @104th-plo-koon / @kaijusplotch @captain-tyrannosaurus @ginger-jedi-twink @passcode-8-1-0-8 @104commanderwolffe @its-cody-not-kote @kaos-and-order @ct3113official @ct3107 @badbatchsmolbean @lady-sith-of-darkness @jiabeewrites
Okay, wow idk where to beginn with. This one will be a little different then my other posts. I want to use this not to just tell you how awesome you guys are and how much I love every single one of you. But I also want to use this to just thank you. Because I wanted to do this the whole time now but didn't really knew how to do it right.
Sorry if I write anything wrong. English isn't my native language and I'm just gonna write as i think it's right.
So let's start.....
You guys have no idea how thankful I am that I found you here on tumblr. I really love wirting with you guys and I really love all our rps. It's always so much fun to write with you etc. Every single one of you is so awesome and even if we don't know us for that long I already took all of you into my heart.
I was struggeling for a long time if I really should do an rp account because I didn't had anyone to write with and I was to scared and to shy to ask anyone. I thought no one would like Oona anyway. I mean why should anyone like her? There's not much to like, love about her or even be interessted in her. Then to see you guys just accepted me and Oona into your group just like that without me having to really ask makes me so happy. Also when Teddy asked if she could use Oona for her story.... I was just like wow.... wait what really? My heart really skiped a beat.
And most of all how you people always treat Oona. You have no idea how much this means to me and how often I went AAAAAWWW or got teary eyes because of you.
I already told Teddy a bit about what's behind Oona. What her reason is that I have her as an Oc. Long story short I had a really fucked up life and childhood where I never really felt welcomed anywhere and stuff and I always used and still use some of my Oc's and stories as coping mechanism etc. for everything that happened and is still happening. And Oona was one of those Oc's. I already have her since I was around idk 7-9 or something like that.
So more precisely Oona is supposed to be my childhood self and my inner child she's supposed to somehow represent me. That's why Oona's still so young. She represents my former me, my present me and most of all my inner child and the child I once was. Oona represents everything I went through and or still going through and also everything that keeps me busy in my life.
That's why I get really emotional so often to see how you people are treating and just accepting her. That's why I'm so thankful for everything you guys are giving her. So thankful of how you always protect her and are there for her. Because this is what I always wished to have when I was younger. To be accepted, to be protected, to be just loved.
And I'm so kriffing thankful to every single one of you for that. That you give her everything that I never really could have back then when I was a child.
Fuck I'm getting really emotional now 😅
Anyway....
I'm just so happy to see Oona getting all this love from you and to know that everything that happened back then wasn't my fault. I was just among stupid people, among the wrong kind of people who didn't saw my worth. Because fuck it I deserve it! Because Oona is me and I'm Oona. And when Oona is able to get this love from others then so am I.
PS: @jiabeewrites I really printed out your little poem you once send Oona and hung it up. At that moment I really felt like trash and broken, just worthless. So to read your poem really made me cry like a little baby because it remembered me that this was right. Just because I'm broken dosen't mean I'm worthless.
Someone's trash is someone else's treasure. So remembere even if you guys are trash to someone, for me you all are a treasure!
So from the bottom of my heart. Thank you!
Thank you so dame much for everything. I love you all so much.
And with this emotional letter I wish you all a very beautiful christmas time and everything good in this world.

Weekend Top Ten #588
Top Ten Beast Mode Transformers
Ah, Transformers; my comfort zone! After all the videogame-related shenanigans, I’ve got quite a lot of semi-topical stuff to cover in June. Quite a few films come out. Too many, in fact. Gah! I’ve not seen Spider-Verse or Little Mermaid yet (or Sisu!), and before the likes of Indy and Mission we’ve also got the small matter of a new Transformers film. GAH!
Anyway, Transformers are cool and I like them even if I don’t like most of the films. And the new film – Rise of the Beasts – is interesting because it’s poking at a different part of the franchise; namely the series Beast Wars. I skipped Beast Wars because, back then, I thought it looked a bit naff. Well, not naff, really; it just didn’t feel like my Transformers. I wanted the old Marvel continuity to be honest, and bounced hard off anything that was different. It’s why I never even gave Generation 2 much of a shot – and that was supposed to be a continuation of the Marvel continuity, written by the same guy!  
Ah well.
Anyway (II) – the new film. I think it looks alright. I don’t have any nostalgic connection to Optimus Primal or, er, the other characters whose names I definitely know (Cheetarah? No, that’s not it). I do have a nostalgic connection to Unicron, though, so I’m interested to see how that shakes out. But as befits the name of the film what I’m here to talk about is beast mode Transformers.
The basic gist of Transformers from the off – adapted as the toys were from existing Japanese toys – was robots turning into vehicles and things. Cars, jets, guns, whatever. Animals didn’t really make sense because, well, robots in disguise innit. You can’t disguise yourself as a poodle if you’re twenty feet tall and made of metal. Various reasons were given why it could work – pretender shells, mass shifting, nobody really caring in the first place – but as the franchise wore on it became more common. By the time of the excellent IDW continuity a few years ago, it even factored into the racism and subjugation that existed on Cybertron, because beast mode Transformers were considered inferior by some. However, I just like big robot animals at the end of the day, and that’s what this list celebrates.
So: no more to it than that. My favourite Transformers that turn into beasts and stuff. I did umm and ahh a little bit over whether they specifically had to be “humanoid robots that turn into an animal” or if I could also include Transformers whose “robot mode” for want of a better word was an animal. But if I’d gone with the former, I couldn’t have had Ravage on the list, so I went with the latter. That’s it.
Maximise! That’s what he says. In the cartoon. Never mind…
Tumblr media
Grimlock: I mean, who else could it be, really? Grimlock, depending on what day you ask me, is my favourite Transformer (unless I say Rodimus or Megatron). He’s a big grumpy dinosaur who’s also a tactical genius and a noble leader and sometimes he’s smart and sometimes he’s dumb but he has strong Worf energy, if you know what I mean. And he’s – I cannot stress this enough – a robot tyrannosaurus rex. I just love everything about him. And, for what it’s worth, I have decided that he’s cool enough to represent all the Dinobots, basically so they don’t account for the top half of this list.
Ravage: so awesome a character I changed the rules. Ravage is a stealth mastermind, the sneakiest snoop that ever there was. And he’s a cat. Used briliiantly in IDW to represent the prejudice against beast mode Transformers, it’s how predominantly British writers have handled him – as a very intelligent, supremely loyal, but also deeply honest character who’s not afraid to speak truth to power and, crucially, actually speaks – that defines his best portrayals. Also has one of the best death scenes of all time.
Catilla: full disclosure, Catilla is one I love because I loved his toy. He’s an Autobot that turns into some kind of robot cat; probably a sabretooth tiger, but it’s a fairly basic transformation so it’s hard to say. He has a cool outer shell that’s a giant yellow tiger, and gives off strong Battle Cat energy. Sadly underutilised in fiction, his death does kick off a long-running and excellent arc in the old TFUK comics, and in my headcanon he’s always paired with his Decepticon counterpart Carnivac.
Sky Lynx: oh, I love him so much. A big, vainglorious, ego-drenched snob; a giant metal pterodactyl who’s also a leopard-thing and turns into a space shuttle. He’s two different beasts! Three, really, because they all connect together to make some kind of huge monster-bird creature. No wonder he thinks he’s the greatest Transformer of all time. He’s got a point.
Scorponok: surprisingly low on the list, I guess, but what can I say? I love all these guys. Scorpy’s great because on one hand he’s just a big, badass Decepticon leader, with sweet claws and an awesome alt-mode (a giant frickin’ scorpion!). On the other, his portrayal in the old Marvel comics was fantastic, as the “human” element of his personality made him more moderate and willing to accept an alliance with the Autobots. Again, he has an amazing – and tragic – death scene.
Carnivac: yes, it’s Catilla’s sort-of counterpart; a Decepticon hunter who turns into a wolf. My cousin had his toy and I had Catilla’s, so we had fun playing as kids. His wolf mode has a cool, very narrow snout, sort of like Death from the recent Puss-in-Boots movie. But Carnivac was awesome because he was another honourable Decepticon, rather than a ruthless murderer, and his arc where he left his teammates but refused to become an Autobot was brilliant thirty years ago. Straight-up murdered a lot of dudes in ruthless fashion, too. But they were bad so it was okay.
Shrapnel: I love the Insecticons, and here Shrapnel kinda represents all of them really. Why Shrapnel over the other two though? To be hinest as a kid I really coveted Kickback; I just loved his alt mode as, er, a sort of cricket-thing. And Kickback has the gnarliest death, squished by Hot Rod in gruesome close up. But Shrapnel was the toy I had, and I liked that. I also like his weird, um, pincer things, and the funny way he talked in the cartoon. Bombshell is boring though. Cerebro shells? Pff.
Trypticon: yes, another dinosaur, but this one is huge. A Decepticon kaiju, a whacking great city-bot who stomps around getting into fights with Metroplex. A veritable powerhouse and one of the strongest Decepticons, Trypticon is a monster. He has quite a cool role in the IDW comics as a Titan and eventually a kind of nursemaid to a generation of new Transformer sparks. But mostly I like him for being a big unit who beats up everyone.
Tarantulas: now we get to characters that I haven’t loved for thirty years. Tarantulas, to be honest, was a mystery until Nick Roche’s Sins of the Wreckers, where he’s revealed as a supremely sinister mad scientist who had a complicated and frankly disturbing relationship with Prowl where they both ended up as parents to Springer… yeah, complicated. Also he once shrunk down to a tiny spider, crawled inside someone’s head, and grew back to normal size. Nice guy.
Sky-Byte: another one who was popular in the fanbase for years but who I only glommed onto, as they say, once he popped up in the IDW comics. For shame! For who could not love a giant robot shark that can fly, and is also a poet? An artistic soul, a Decepticon who rejects the violent excesses of his own team, Sky-Byte has a tragic nobility that I find appealing. And did I mention he’s a flying shark?
He didn’t make the list, but let’s not forget that in the Rescue Bots cartoon Optimus Prime also turned into a big red t-rex. Stomping on Grimmy’s turf; has he no shame?

So Optimus basically had an allergic reaction to the T.rex dna, one that would be mild if he wasn't malnourished, is what the show is saying?
Is this why we see him only use the primal alt a few timesin RB? Like, lemme make an Animorphs parallel bc in that series, in book 12 where the character Rachel acquires a crocodile and then proceeds to start having an allergic reaction to it. Now it makes Sense that the Cybertronian frame would analyze organic tyrannosaurus DNA and think "hey this isn't supposed to be here I want this out NOW" but a whole ass scan is a little more integrated than some pollen (Rachel god rid of her crocodile allergy by the body more or less barfing up the crocodile and that was a Process, but Cybertronian biology functions a little differently than Andalite technology) so it's kinda like when you get a transplant and you have to take anti-rejection meds to keep your immune system away from it. Now, I'm betting Cybertronians can lose altmodes over time. When you scan a new altmode it replaces the old one. When the organic DNA predictably starts a reaction, if the systems are overtaxed, the whole scanning thing tries to replace it. But there's not a new thing to be scanned to replace it, so it kinda shoves itself into the processor to be scanned again and again and again as a sort of loop, causing that sort of wild thing?
Idk I'm just rewatching the third season and coming up with shit.

𝐌𝐘𝐂𝐑𝐎𝐅𝐓 & 𝐅𝐈𝐒𝐇 @governmentofficial​ from: where do you think you’re going ?
Having scrambled onto a rock so that he could get a slightly better view of the landscape around him, Mycroft scowled down at Fish. They'd only met half an hour ago, but already he was annoyed by how she seemed to think him hopeless at survival. Of course, it wasn't her fault that she didn't know he had training in the field - after all, why would he admit to being a spy? - but it still irritated him.
The current situation also irritated Mycroft. Something had happened on the island. He wasn't sure what, as it had begun while he was trespassing in an area of the jungle that he definitely shouldn't have been in, but he could hear the commotion in the form of screams in the distance. It was certainly not ideal. The job was supposed to be easy - pretend to be a guest, spend a few days gathering intel, and then return home - but now there were apparently dinosaurs on the loose and, because of that, he could only assume that guests were being extracted from the island. Mycroft really didn't want to miss that.
The most likely extraction point? The port. With the number of guests on the island, it would be far more efficient to remove them on mass via a ship. That brought its own issue of Mycroft really not wanting to travel via the ferry - he did not like boats at all - but if the option was that or being stuck in a jungle with a rampaging tyrannosaurus rex? The answer was obvious.
He looked at his watch before glancing towards the sky, making a note of the position of the sun. Mycroft then pulled a paper map of the park out of his pocket. It was one of the guest maps so it did not offer any useful details, but it was enough to give a vague idea of landmarks.
"North," Mycroft stated. "I'm going north." He then clambered down from his rock and, without another word, began making his way in that direction.
Tumblr media
Fish looked at him with a frown, considering for a short (but satisfying) second the option of letting him walk into the jungle on his own. He was a very irritating man, and if he wanted to play the solitary hero, then why bother stopping him? But then of course, he would be heading towards certain death. She didn’t want that on her conscience. 
“Slow down, Indiana Jones,” she called out, following him without particularly trying to catch up with him (she was nice, she wasn’t Mother Theresa!). “I’m supposed to bring the civilians I find back to safety. You’re the only civilian here for now, which means that it’s my job to keep you alive.” A pause. “Whether I like it or not.”
The orders had been given to her as soon as things went to hell. That, and also trying to not worry anyone. Which meant keeping most of the situation to herself. But if Grumpy here wanted to walk into the jungle on his own, then perhaps it was best to warn him of what was surely going to happen. 
Tumblr media
“Unless you want to be mauled to death by a dinosaur? Because then, sure thing, be my guest. Go into the jungle alone.” Despite her laid-back demeanor, she was tense. They had to reach the port to catch the ferries leaving the Island, and their time to do so wasn’t unlimited. Not to mention that if they crossed path with any other guests, she’d have to watch over them as well.
As far his destination went, there was no need arguing about that. The port was north, and the jungle was the fastest way. The most dangerous one, too. But there was a little service building not too far, where hopefully they could find a vehicle. Maybe even a weapon, with a bit of luck.

uhh can we get pierre x napoleon for the my immortal style fic please (not nsfw)
Ask and you should receive. Here we go:
Ship: Pierre Bezukhov x Napoleon
Themes: Vampires, vampire hunter, betrayal, hurt and comfort, eventual angst
Word count: 523
My name is Pierre Kazookid amd I am a vampirw hunter from Russia. I am currently dating a Frnech vampirw named Napoleon so it's all forbieen love amd styff. He murders ppl in wars qnd drinks there blood and everything. He also has the auperpower od communicating with furniture. Right now he is away fighting some other countrys and taking war prisoners and drinking thwir blood, leaving me alone with my BFF Andrei Colonoscopy, who is also a vampire hunter.
“Pier we have talked about this,” says Andrew, “you cannot date Napoleon becuz he is a vampirw and we are supposed to kill him. One day he will drink you as well and you will die.” As you can see Andrew doesn't really like Neopolitan. He has thinks he is some evil fucking bitch or something.
“Its ok Andrei I know Nemo will never betray me after all we are in luv," I say, “right now I need to write him a letter.”
I opened the drawer to dicovwr thwt I hav ran out of paper so instead I went to Nemo's room to borrow some. I open his drawer and find.............. a stack of letters from Tsar Alexander, another vampire!
I gasped as I read the letters. They are very amorous and graphic. Tsalamder even attach a portrait of his wenis in one of them. This made me so angry and depressed, so I drink a bunch of ethanol and made Andrew drive me to kick Salamander's ass, but not before I put on my neom pink tyrannosaurus onsie.
We arrive at Salamander's palace soon after. I kick open his door and screamed, “SALAMANDER YOU PIECE OF TRASH I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU STOLE MY MAN.” I threw a Bible at him, killing him instantly. Nikogay, his no.1 fanboy was crying and being annoying, so I yeeted a Bible at him as well. That didn't kill him tho because he is a human but that sure as hell shut him up.
Then we go to kill Napoleon. He is very surprised to see us, “Pierre dear what are you doing here—”
“YOU CHEATING PIECE OF SCUM I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU WERE HAVING A THING WITH SALAMANDER,” I yelled, picking up a table to yeet on him.
The table fkew avross the room but stops mid-air because Napoleon asks it to. I picked up a chair to yeet at him but he stops me, “Wait Pierre I can explain!”
“Well explain then!”
“I am only flirting with Salamander to trick him!”
Andrew frowns, “Trick him for what?”
“You know, to invade Russia later amd end serfdom and start a revolutiom and stuff?”
It sounds so touching I start to cry, “Awww babe thank you! You know it is what I have always wanted!”
We start smacking our lips into one another like toilet lid and the toilet seat, almost strangling each other in the process.
Suddenly, Neopolitan collapses. Behind him stands Andrew, who has stabbed Nemo with a cross.
“I am so sorry Peter, this is for greater good,” sighes Andrew before shooting me with a Nerf gun, and I died in Nemo's arms.

Ten Random Lines
Rules: pick any ten of your fics, scroll to the midpoint, pick a line (or three) and share it. Then tag ten people. tagged by @geekmom13
I used a randomizer to pick these. Mind the tags if you click.
Bucky Barnes is (not) a Bully Mr. Osborn sighed. “Listen, let’s cut to the chase. I don’t think that you’re a bad guy, and I need my data scientist back.”
Could You Stop? A soft click caught Peter’s attention. Looking up he saw a tube of lube in Wade’s hand. That was ominous. Peter was both afraid and anticipatory. He did and didn’t want to know what that would feel like. “I’ve never done it.” Peter blurted in a rush.
Have Your Cake or Eat It Peter chuckled. “Maybe try not scowling so much. Or just talking to To-Dad?” “He won’t talk to me.” Bucky all but scowled, but Peter was pretty sure it was supposed to be a pout. He tried not to snicker at it.
I’ll Cover You Wade groaned into Ellie’s super soft pillow. It smelled like her coconut shampoo. It made him crave a piña colada. He really needed a drink. “But what about the meeting?” he asked into a mouthful of fabric wrapped down feathers. “Don’t drool on my pillow or you’re buying me another one.”
Spidey-cat “It’s dirty. Smells bad. Smells like-” but Peter didn’t finish the sentence and instead just blushed while looking all the angrier. “The pee smell is not my fault this time!” Wade defended.
The Only One Who Knows Part of Peter truly hated himself for enjoying the praises as much as he did. It seemed childish and nonsensical. The rest of himself told that part to shove it and wallowed in the praise.
Deadly Sins: Vanity Perhaps he should have been afraid. These caresses, the occasional nip of sharp teeth, the hot, wet slide of a tongue, they were far too real. His imagination was, perhaps, tipping over into insanity.
Prehistorical Romance After all, stray thoughts just didn’t have enough room to take up residence when already filled to the brim with Tyrannosaurus-dick.
Felinae Puma Concolor “I mean, I get it if I’m not your type, but I’m a great lay. I’ll make it worth your time.” When Grant continued to panic, Nathaniel asked, “Never been with a guy before? One time doesn’t make you gay, promise.”
Phichit’s Great Ideas “Keep this shit in your room!” Yuri ranted. “Now, now,” Phichit soothed, laughter in his voice as he ran up to Yuri, a bunch of bags shoved into one hand. “We did it in the living room just the other day.” Yuri turned bright red. “Fuck all of you!” He spun on his toe and stomped off, shouting curses at the entire house. Phichit grinned at Emil and offered a thumbs up. “Good luck!”
The last one gets more lines because I adore that fic despite it having no new hits in years. lmao
I taaaag @asheofalltrades @murieltheawful @prose-aplenty @kari-vader @wadewilson-parker @nimohtar @cheermione

Transformers 
War For Cybertron 
Kingdom
Leader Class
Megatron (Predacon)
by Hasbro (2021
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Collector’s Card:
Collector’s card is the Ark flying through space. I peeled back the sticker to reveal nothing special.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Beast Mode:
Anyone passively familiar with Beast Wars Megatron would know that he was a purple Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Tumblr media
The beast mode a bit top-heavy. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get the T-rex mode to stand in the ways I was hoping.
Tumblr media
A lot of the beast mode bits are made out of a softer, malleable plastic, I really hope it’s not made out of rubber, because that’ll rot one day. I suppose it’s meant to make the beast mode feel more fleshy, and it’s not bad; I’m just concerned about its future durability. 
Tumblr media
Unfortunately the beast mode doesn’t panel in perfectly, I couldn’t close some of the gaps as much as I would have liked, and some of the flesh paneling looks a little off in places.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Transformation:
Transformation isn’t AS close to the original as I imagined it would be. It’s a busier transformation than the original.
Robot Mode:
Tumblr media
Robot is simply Beast Wars Megatron, but with a twist.
The painting and sculpting on this toy is excellent, and a definite upgrade to the original Beast Wars Megatron.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Final Thoughts:
Kingdom Megatron, is such a cool figure; he is both a mix of old-style Beast Wars with modern touches.
If I were to point out on issue with this toy which I’m not a fan of is that I think the left arm, tail weapon should have been removable to allow greater access to Megatron’s left hand, and add for more 5mm port options.
