#Rex kinda liked dinos as a kid

[superlarva]

Teen Hardcase with what I think of as the quintessential teen haircut.

Here's Chapter 6 - Shopping of Raising Dominoes! I had fun writing this one. Well, I have fun writing all of them :)

Prologue: 00 Previous Chapter: 05 Next Chapter: 07

Summary: Rex, Hardcase, and Fives go shopping.

CW: Implied/referenced child abuse (not really in this specific chapter, but just to be safe)

Chapter 6 - Shopping

After dropping Cody off at his car, Rex swung back around to his apartment building to pick up Hardcase. He had to admit, it would be helpful to have the teen around at the mall. An extra set of eyes to watch Fives and an extra set of arms to help carry things would not hurt.

That being said, Rex could not help the feeling of anxiety that settled in his gut as he knocked on the apartment door across the hall from his own. Hardcase could be a handful. He was a good kid, but he was loud and energetic to the point where it gave Rex a headache. He just hoped this was not going to turn into him babysitting the teen.

No one came to the door immediately and Fives began to fidget, “Maybe no one’s home.”

Rex frowned and knocked louder, “Well, Kix and Jesse are at work and Dogma and Tup are at school, but Hardcase should be here.”

“The half adult, half kid?”

Rex smirked, “Yeah, the teenager.”

At that the door swung open, revealing Hardcase, headphones dangling around his neck and mouth gaping a bit at the sight of Rex at his door.

“Uh, hey,” Hardcase fumbled with his headphones to pause his music before grinning up at Rex. He gestured to the headphones a little sheepishly, “Sorry, I guess I had it on a little too loud.”

“It’s fine.” Rex shrugged then motioned towards Fives, “This is Fives. He’s my, uh, he’s my son.”

Rex cringed at how uncomfortable he felt introducing Fives as his kid. Fives was his son and he already loved him more than he ever knew he could love anyone, but at the same time, he did not really feel like he knew the boy. And he sure as hell was not confident he deserved to be the kid’s dad.

Neither boy acknowledged Rex’s awkwardness and Hardcase gave Fives a silly salute, causing the boy to giggle and mimic the salute back, “Hiya Fives! I’m Hardcase.”

Fives giggled again, “Hardcase is a funny name.”

Hardcase grinned, “Fives is kinda a funny name too.”

Fives’s eyes glazed over, and the smile dropped from his face, mouth hanging slightly ajar. Rex jumped in quickly and laid a hand on the boy’s shoulder to try and bring him back from whatever thought had just crossed his mind, “We’re going to go to the mall to get some lunch and some things for the kids if you want to join us.”

Hardcase hesitated, looking between Rex, Fives, and the empty apartment behind him, “Am I allowed?”

Rex’s brows raised, he never knew Hardcase to be this cautious, “I wouldn’t be asking if you weren’t.”

Hardcase narrowed his eyes at Rex before something clicked and he grinned, “Okay.” He raced back into the apartment to grab his things.

As Hardcase disappeared, Rex crouched down next to Fives, “Hey, you okay?”

After a beat Fives shifted his gaze to meet Rex’s, the fog lifting from his eyes. He nodded.

“Hardcase is a good kid,” Rex explained, worried that something about the teen had freaked Fives out. He smiled fondly after Hardcase, “Sometimes he just gets into a little trouble because he’s too… energetic. That’s why he’s not at school today.”

“Do I go to school too?”

“You will,” Rex said, gaging the boy’s reaction. He seemed completely fine now. It was… puzzling.

Rex heard Hardcase footsteps approaching and straightened back up before smiling down at Fives, “Soon. But don’t worry about that right now.”

Hardcase reappeared and shut the door, locking it behind him, “Thanks so much, Rex. I was bored outa my mind.”

Rex smirked, “Don’t mention it. You’re only here to help me carry the heavy stuff.”

“Well, I only came for the free lunch,” Hardcase teased back as they headed down the stairs.

By the time they arrived at the food court, Fives and Hardcase were thick as thieves. Fives had asked what Hardcase’s headphones were, which resulted in them learning that Fives had never heard music before and Hardcase introducing him to the medium.

Fives clearly loved the sounds, his grin only growing wider as each new song was played. Rex made a mental note to show the boy Cody’s CD collection when they visited his apartment.

“Alright,” Rex said as they entered the food court. “Lunch first. What do you boys want?”

“Chicken teriyaki!” Hardcase said grinning and darting off through the throngs of people.

“Does that sound good?” Rex asked Fives as he grabbed the boy’s hand so as not to lose him in the crowd.

Fives shrugged.

Rex realized that it was possible the kid had never had chicken teriyaki before and made his way towards a man holding a platter of samples, “Here, you can get a sample from this gentleman to see if you like it.”

As they approached the man he smiled down at Fives, stuck a toothpick in a piece of chicken, and offered it to the boy. Fives looked up at Rex and Rex nodded, “Go ahead.”

The boy took the piece and popped it into his mouth.

“Yummy?”

Fives’s contemplative face devolved into a massive grin.

Rex couldn’t help but smile back, “Should we get more?”

“Can we? Please?”

“Of course,” Rex said, leading Fives towards the back of the line where Hardcase stood, fidgeting impatiently.

They got their food quickly and made their way to a table by the fountain. Rex had been worried about Fives near the crowds of people, but the boy seemed fine. He had even ordered his meal by himself, copying what Hardcase had said just before him.

Rex watched both boys begin to inhale their food and had to remind them to drink some water between bites. After Hardcase shoved the last bite of Fives’s unfinished chicken into his mouth, he turned to Rex, “So, what are we getting first?”

“I was thinking we’d start with the furniture, then move on to clothes and, uh, other things,” Rex said, starting to wish Cody was with him, making a list of everything the boys would need.

“Cool, so Ikea first.”

Rex nodded and began gathering up their trash. Fives and Hardcase started helping him and they were off to the furniture store before Rex knew it.

Rex himself was overwhelmed with the vast selection of children’s furniture at the department store and could tell Fives was as well. The boy never strayed out of arm’s length of Rex and was staring at the displays with wide eyes.

Hardcase, on the other hand, was pushing the cart excitedly and pointing to various different items he thought looked “cool” and asking Fives if he liked them.

Eventually, Rex picked out a couple bedroom sets that fit within what he assumed was his budget and asked Fives which one he wanted. The boy almost shyly pointed to the dark stained wooden set. Rex grinned, that was the one he would have picked. Hardcase seemed a little disappointed that Fives wouldn’t be getting a bed shaped like a rocket ship.

“What about Echo?” Fives asked, tugging Rex’s sleeve.

Rex frowned, he wished he knew more about the other twin, “Do you think he wants the same kind, or a different one?”

Fives shrugged, “I don’t think he’d care.”

“We’ll just get him the same one then,” Rex said, pulling out a pad and writing down the name of the bedroom set. They still needed two twin mattresses and sheets. Rex knelt down to Fives’s height, “Do you want to go with Hardcase to pick out some sheets for your beds?”

Fives shrugged a little reluctantly.

“I’ll just be right over there looking at the mattresses,” Rex said pointing.

Fives still didn’t look convinced, so Rex stood, pointing to the children’s section, “I don’t know about you Hardcase, but I saw a lot of fun looking sheets over there. I guess if Fives doesn’t want to go with you, you can pick out sheets for him and Echo all by yourself.”

Hardcase grinned, catching on quick, “Oh, yeah, I’ll be sure to get the best ones. Princesses and fairies and butterflies.”

Fives’s brows knit together, eyes darting between the two older men. As Hardcase turned away and began strolling over to the sheets, Fives gave in and ran towards the teen with impressive speed, “Wait! Wait, I’ll go with you!”

Rex snorted, a victorious grin plastered onto his face. As good as if felt to have Fives latch onto him, it was important that the boy would be able to separate himself from him, especially when it came time to send him to school.

Once the boys disappeared down an aisle, Rex turned away and headed towards the mattresses. The bed sets Rex was planning on buying for the boys contained frames for twin beds, so he picked out a twin mattress and noted the name down on his pad for later.

Rex grabbed a few pillows as he made his way back over to the sheets section to make sure the boys were still alive. Fives was standing next to the cart, arms full of what looked like sheets decorated with little colorful cartoon planets and spaceships. He looked over to Rex as he approached and held out the sheets, “For Echo?”

Rex smiled and dumped the sheets and pillows into the cart, “Where’s Hardcase?”

“I wanted the dino ones,” Fives explained, pointing up.

Hardcase was scaling the shelving unit to retrieve white dinosaur print sheets from the top shelf, about 4 meters off the ground.

“Hardcase!” Rex hissed, moving to stand under the boy in case he fell.

Hardcase looked down and shot Rex a sly grin, pressing a finger to his lips, before grabbing the sheets and tossing them down into the cart. He then motioned for Rex to move away.

“Don’t you dare,” Rex said through gritted teeth, even as he backed away towards Fives.

Hardcase sprung from the ledge and hit the ground, rolling as he did to break his fall. It made quite an impressive sound and Rex saw heads turning their way. He grabbed Hardcase by the arm and yanked him to his feet, “They have people who get paid to get things from the top shelf.”

“But that was more fun,” Hardcase smirked.

“We don’t climb inside.”

“What about at the rock gym?”

“That’s an exception. You know what I mean.” Rex sighed, turning to Fives, who was watching their back and forth with interest, “Sorry, kid, sometimes Hardcase isn’t a good example. We don’t climb on things in stores.”

Fives nodded, eyes not leaving Rex’s.

Rex shook his head, he knew Hardcase was just trying to be helpful, but he didn’t want Fives to try anything and get himself hurt, he was so small and fragile. “Okay, we got some sheets…” Rex trailed off thinking of what else they needed.

Fives pointed to a stack of quilts across the aisle, “Look! A bigger one!”

Hardcase picked up the quilt off the shelf that Fives was pointing to, “Hey, it matches.”

The navy patchwork quilt did indeed look like it belonged to the same bedding set as the sheets Fives had picked out.

“You want this quilt?” Rex asked, taking it from Hardcase and showing it to Fives.

Fives nodded and bounced a little on his toes, “Yes, please.”

“Alright, now for Echo’s.”

The trio scanned the shelves in search of a matching space quilt for Echo and found it after a few minutes, adding it to their cart.

Rex led the boys over to get lamps and nightlights next before finishing up at Ikea in the rug section.

After they paid and ordered the bed sets and mattresses to be delivered, they put everything into the trunk and wandered over to Target to get more clothes for the twins. Fives seemed to be enjoying himself and Rex was glad, he had thought the mall might overwhelm him too much and they would have to stop for the day after getting the furniture.

It was starting to get late in the afternoon, so Rex decided he would go grab some of the more “boring” essentials for the boys like socks and underwear while he let Hardcase and Fives take care of shirts and pants.

As Rex finished up, he made a quick stop in the toy section to get a few games for the kids. He didn’t really know what the boys would like, so he just picked out what he thought were the quintessential children’s toys: a box of matchbox cars, a deck of playing cards, little plastic animals, Legos, some cool action figure dudes in shiny white armor holding blasters, monopoly, dominoes, and a coloring kit. He was floundering around the kid’s aisle wondering what else he could get them when something fuzzy caught his eye.

Rex found Hardcase hard at work measuring a shirt against Fives’s body. Fives saw him first and pointed over to a cart with a few sets of clothes in it.

Hardcase, seeming to decide that the shirt would fit, flung it over his shoulder into the cart and turned to Rex, “Kix kept all of Tup’s old clothes, so we didn’t get a ton. I figured we could donate his stuff to you.”

Rex nodded, “That would be great actually. Thank you.”

“No problem.”

Rex turned to Fives, “I got you a present.”

“A present?”

“Yup,” He revealed a stuffed T-rex from behind his back and presented it to the boy.

Fives’s mouth dropped open, “Is- is that a real one?”

Hardcase laughed, “No, silly.”

Fives reached out to touch it.

“It’s a stuffed animal,” Rex explained, letting the boy take the toy. “Or, I guess, a stuffed dino.”

Fives looked up from the plushie with big innocent eyes, “What do they do?”

Rex paused, looking to Hardcase, then back at Fives, “Er- wait- stuffed animals or- or dinosaurs?”

“Dinosaurs?”

“Yeah, dinosaurs… dinos,” Rex shut his mouth, mind racing at Fives’s blank expression. Had Fives not known what dinosaurs were from the start? Had he first seen them on the pajamas he had picked out for him that first night and then just recognized them on the sheets and wanted them?

Luckily Hardcase covered for Rex as his mind went into overdrive, “Dinosaurs are these animals from a really long time ago. They’re really cool looking. They don’t live here anymore, but they used to. Their bones are underground now, and people like to dig them up.”

“So, this is a pretend one?”

“Yup,” Hardcase said popping the p. “You sleep with it at nighttime.”

“Oh,” Fives hugged the toy close to his chest and closed his eyes. “Like this?”

“Exactly.” Suddenly, a wicked grin spread across Hardcase’s face, “Hey, you know what that dinosaur is called?”

Rex was pulled out of his thoughts and began to blush. He knew where the teen was going with this.

“What’s it called?” Fives asked, oblivious.

“A T-rex, a tyrannosaurus rex.”

Fives’s grin matched Hardcase’s and he turned to Rex, “Like you!”

“Yeah, like me, kid,” Rex sighed, ruffling the boy’s hair. “Do you want to come help me pick one out for Echo?”

Fives’s face lit up, “Are there more?”

“Uh-huh,” Rex nodded, feeling a little self-conscious, “You can pick out a different one if you want too, I just thought…”

“No! I like this one the most! I just didn’t know there was another for Echo.”

“There’s plenty to choose from,” Rex said, leading the boy over to the toy aisle.

When they arrived at the shelves stocked full of plushies, Fives jaw went slack. He kept the T-rex under one arm and began riffling through the toys, trying to find the perfect one for Echo.

Hardcase and Rex stood back and watched the boy with amusement as he seemed to gravitate towards the other dinosaur stuffed animals. Eventually the boy pulled out a blue triceratops and held it out to Rex for approval.

“Think he’ll like that one?”

Fives nodded and popped it into the cart, keeping his T-rex secure under his arm.

major changes have been listed below the cut, but suffice to say that i've been dissatisfied with my conversion of this set for ages and was inspired to redo it when i saw an anon ask @freezerbunny-sims2 got some months ago. i'm considering this a redux and not an update, since the older set isn't specifically 'broken', just not up to my standards. you can't have both though, as they use the same guids!

This was a request for Dad!Joe celebrating his son's birthday. I hope you like it @mrsshiesty

Dad!Joe is the type of dad to go all out for his son every birthday. I'm talking about he wakes up at 5 am to decorate his door. Joe has kept a neat list in his phone of everything his son even glanced at or mentioned. Dad!Joe might have gone overboard and bought him every toy he asked for throughout the year.

"Joe, do we really need to do this. I think-"

"Shhh. You'll wake him. I think it's a good tradition. Plus, he really likes it. With the new baby coming, he's been feeling left out." Joe whispers. You nod your head and pass him the tape. When you announced you were pregnant, Little Joe didn't take it so well. He did not want a sister he would have to share his daddy with. You rub your belly, watching your husband put the final touches on the door. This year, Jojo was really into dinosaurs. He had you and Joe redecorate his room to a dinosaur-themed room, including a Jeep bed with a T-Rex head hanging over it.

"It looks great. Now can we please go to bed? I'm 8 months, my feet hurt, and if I don't get my sleep in, I will be even more cranky."

Joe nods and pulls you to the bedroom. You only get two more hours of sleep before the birthday boy comes running in.

"Happy birthday to me! Jojo is 5 now!" He shouts. Joe sits up, pulling Jojo into the bed. You watch your son bounce on the bed excitedly.

"Dad! Make me the oatmeal with the dino eggs, please!" Jojo screams. Joe scoops him up, and they disappear, leaving you to sleep for a little bit more. You wake up around 10:30 to the boys watching Jurassic Park. You can't even remember the number of times Jojo has made you both watch those movies. You could probably recite the lines. Joe crawls out of the tent to pepper your face with kisses.

"Have you guys just been watching this?"

"Yeah, it's what he wanted. Hurry up and shower; you know we're taking him to the dinosaur exhibit." He reminds you.

"Actually, I need to stay here and get things ready plus, I think this will be good for you guys to talk. Our daughter will be here in 3 weeks, and he still refuses to talk about it." You whisper the last part. Joe agrees and takes Jojo upstairs to shower and get ready. The boys return wearing matching t-shirts and shorts. You kiss your boys and wish them farewell for now. You need to get everything ready for the surprise party.

"Dad. I'm a big kid now. I can sit in the front, right?"

"Not yet, kiddo. You need to get a little bit older." Joe laughs, strapping him into his car seat. Jojo starts playing with his T-rex along the drive. When they arrive, Joe gets stopped by some fans in the parking lot. He takes photos, but when the crowd gets too much, he has to decline. He didn't want to ruin Jojo's day.

"Why are those people taking photos, Dad?"

"I'm famous."

"Why?"

"Because Daddy plays football professionally; remember we talked about it?"

Jojo stares at him.

"But you're just daddy. How can you be famous?"

"Umm, you know the movie we watch? The people on there are acting professionally, so they are also famous." Joe explains. Jojo stares at him again.

"Am I famous?" He asks. Joe chuckles.

"Kinda, but not really."

"I see. Look how big this brachiosaur is!" Jojo shouts, wiggling out of Joe's arms. Joe sets him down and watches his son sprint the outside standee. Joe snaps a few photos and sends them to you. Jojo takes his hand and leads him to the entrance. Joe takes out his card to pay, but the cashier lets' him know it's free.

"I can't do that. It's fine."

"We insist, Joe." The manager says.

"At least let me pay for the family behind me." Joe hands the card over and the manager charges it. Jojo taps his foot waiting for his father to come. Joe finally finishes and takes his hand.

"We should start with the North America dinosaurs, then make our way around," Jojo shouts, holding up the map. Joe does his best to let Jojo take the lead, but people keep stopping them.

"Dad! We're going to miss the show!" Jojo yells.

"I need to get-"

"You need to get us another ring." An older guy says with his buddy nodding.

"I will try my best. Next season we plan to go harder." Joe nervously laughs.

"Dad!" Jojo screams, causing everyone to look. Joe excuses himself and follows Jojo.

"Sorry, the show started and unfortunately once it started we can't let anyone in." The worker apologizes but Jojo's eyes start to water.

"I'm so sorry little man."

"Take me home! I want Mommy!" He cries.

"Look, we still have one more floor to go to."

"I said home!" Jojo runs off, and Joe chases him. He picks Jojo up and takes him to the last floor. Jojo buries his face in Joe's neck and refuses to pay attention. Joe mispronounces the dinosaur names on purpose so that Jojo corrects him every time.

"No that is Diplodocus, dad." Jojo corrects him smiling.

"So smart." Joe kisses his head and lets Jojo down to explore. This time Joe refuses photos and autographs, which most people understand. He is not there at star quarterback Joe Burrow. Today he is only dad. Joe takes Jojo back for the show, but the next show isn't until 3, and they needed to head home for the party.

"It's his birthday today, and it would really mean a lot."

"I understand, but there is nothing I can do."

"Can you ask you, manager, please tell him it's for Joe Burrow." Joe folds his hand, begging. He hated using the I'm Joe Burrow thing, but it was Jojo's birthday, and he wanted to see this show. Joe would do anything to keep him happy. The worker pages the manager.

"Play the show, Helen. Are you insane? Whatever Joe wants!" He replies. Helen laughs and lets Joe and Jojo in. Joe is happy they are alone because he is starting to feel bad turning down kids for photos. Jojo placed his 3D glasses on and sat back, watching the show go on. In the end, he couldn't stop smiling.

"Dad, when I grow up, I want to study dinosaurs! Unless you want me to play football."

"Jojo, you can be anything you want to be. If you want to be a Paleontologist, go for it. Your mom, sister, and I would be proud of you either way." Joe says, picking him up and placing him in the car. Jojo looks down at his new T-Rex plushie and frowns.

"My sister?"

"Yes. You know mommy is pregnant and carrying your little sister in her belly right. I know you've been upset about it but it will be fun to be a big brother."

"You're not a big brother; how would you know?" Jojo rolls his eyes.

"You're right, but I'm a little brother, and having a sibling is the best thing in the world. You remember in the film how the older triceratops protected his little sister?"

"Yes. That's what I will do too. I'll protect sissy!" Jojo smiles.

"You will. And me and Mommy will protect both of you."

"unless one of us is the weaker one, then Mommy will abandon us." Jojo mumbles. Joe laughs. Maybe he shouldn't use dinosaurs to explain family. When they arrive home, Joe takes Jojo to the backyard, where everyone jumps out shouting surprise. The backyard has been transformed into a Jurassic theme. Jojo squeals and jumps with excitement. He runs around, saying hello to everyone and then to the huge dino figure near the pool. Finally, he makes his way to you.

"Mommy, I can't wait for sissy to come! I'll be the best big brother."

"Aww, my baby." You bend down to hug him feeling your little girl kick. Jojo runs around with his cousin and friends, playing. When it's time to open gifts, you shake your head at the amount Joe got Jojo. After cleaning up, and when the guest leaves, you take a much-needed bath. You find your favorite boys in bed waiting for you. Jojo lies in the middle, smiling. You and Joe got pregnant fresh out of college. At 21, you had no idea what the future would hold, but you made the decision to be a stay-at-home mom and support Joe's career. It was the best decision you've ever made. 5 years later, you are still madly in love and expecting child number two. Joe kisses your head and then Jojo's head. Jojo kisses your belly and turns on Jurassic Park 2.

Listening to Jurassic Park on Audiobook. Here are thoughts as I go through the story:

Spoilers galore on a 33 year old book with one of the biggest films ever, I guess. Also some gore mentions.

Jesus wept Crichton, that's certainly one way to open a story. They ate the baby's face!!

When I tell you the fear that settled in my soul when Tina picked up the tiny dino - I know this series!!! I was expecting so much worse, but it was still bad. Merci for the gore discretion scene POV change there Crichton.

What's the craic with the dino spit? What have you done Wu??

I kinda like that the secrecy of 'dinos be back baby!' is more by human apathy and shrugging off things than Hammond's magical will which is the only explanation we get in the film.

Yes Crichton, we can see you like science stuff and explaining how things work, we see it.

The film did the moment they see the dinos better. I almost missed it while making lunch in the book. Spielberg Win there - but tbf that's hard to beat on paper compared to a film with scale and swelling music.

I swear the narrator is picking up the film actors inflections when he does dialogue. Especially Nedry, I can hear Wayne Knight in his voice even though he isn't really doing distinct voices. Same with Sam Neil in Alan.

I am so glad they made Lex the older kid in the film - she's a classic annoying little sibling in the worst way in the book. She is bored of dinosaurs after a couple of hours! I can't decide if that's the most unrealistic or the most accurate thing in the book -- kids get used to wild things very quick.

I gotta be honest, I'd probably work in a Dino Nursery too.

I adore Richard Attenborough's Hammond, but the book version helps explain far better why things go so wrong. He's just a Bezos or Musk.

The debate with Wu about Version 4.4 is very interesting. Hammond thinks having the original wolf is what people want but Wu is probably right that what people really want is closer to a dog, even if they say they want the wolf. Anyone who actually wants the wolf is looking for a Darwin award.

When Crichton made sure to include an explanation of what a CD player was I cracked up laughing, because it may have been new enough in 1990 to need a quick explanation, but it will most definitely need it for the future given how CDs are being made obsolete. 😕

Interesting how Arnold (Sam Jackson) describes the dinos as 'precious and delicate'. It makes sense, but it wasn't carried over to the film where it's more ... wonder and awe and 'how could something so magical go wrong?' But the book does talk about how many dinos have died in the project from all sorts of things, so they must seem so fragile when you're buried into it.

Also interesting that even though they made sure all the dinos were girls (great work there Wu, no notes!) they admit they still call the 2 T-Rex (yes there are 2!! A juvenile and an adult!) 'him'.

To be continued when I listen to more - we're about to reach Rexy's Enclosure for the first time.

Thanks for the tag, @argyleheir! 🖤🦇

1. Are you named after anyone? Russian family = the same 3 names get recycled over and over. I share the same as my aunt and great-grandmother did

2. When was the last time you cried? Watched yesterday a TikTok of a T-Rex rasing his short little arm in class, and not getting noticed by his Dino Teacher, so his question didn't get answered. That really messed me up.

3. Do you have kids? No partner, no kids, don't plan on having them for at least another 10 years.

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot? Well, duh.

5. What sports do you play/have played? Did some dancing, but mostly theatre for 12 years all through elementary, middle and highschool.

6. What's the first thing you notice about people? Their style and hair, I suppose. Later, maybe smile and hand gestures.

7. What's your eye color? Blue 🔵👄🔵

8. Scary movies or happy endings? Mostly scary movies 100%

9. Any special talents? I know a couple languages (Russian, German, English, French, Latin) and draw? Kinda? Sometimes?

10. Where were you born? Germany

I have seen several agents saying they will take only human characters PB. While I understand everyone has different tastes, doesn't this seem narrow minded, looking at the best sellers? They don't want the next Pete, Penelope Rex, Llama Llama, Pout Pout, Mother Bruce, Little Blue Truck, or Grumpy Monkey??? Does this seem ignorant, market-wise, to say? Seems like they might miss out on the next big thing. What do you think is behind this school of thought?

I've never seen an agent say this. (I'm not doubting that YOU have, I'm just saying, I've not personally borne witness to this.)

I have seen agents say that they don't care for talking animals -- but that isn't actually the same thing as "only wanting human character PBs". If an agent reps picture books, AND they say that they "don't like talking animal books" -- I'm betting that they are not considering Llama Llama and similar types of books to fall into the Talking Animal category. Hear me out:

Llama Llama is not about a llama - it's about a child, with child emotions, who happens to be shaped like a llama. If llama was a LLAMA, the book would be set in a zoo or on a farm -- instead, Llama lives in a house with a four-poster bed and a mom who does dishes. Bluey, both show and books, while there are some dog jokes and dog references, is not about DOGS, it's about kids and their parents living in a charming home in Australia. WE DON'T EAT OUR CLASSMATES is not a story about a talking dino, it's about a dinosaur-shaped kid fitting in at school, etc etc. In other words, these are not what (most) agents (probably) mean when they say they "don't like talking animal stories" -- these are just ... stories. Regular picture books.

When I think of "talking animal stories" I think of usually books for somewhat older readers, like MG, about more "realistic animal" scenarios, except that the animals are speaking English. For example, Warriors, or Guardians of Ga'hoole. Or, indeed, the book that won the Newbery award this year. I'm not saying those aren't great books for some readers - I'm saying that there are DEFINITELY agents who do not like them at all.

So -- I guess I would think it was a little odd if an agent truly said that they rep picture books but ONLY want books with actual human characters forever and ever amen. (Maybe not "ignorant" -- but kinda limiting?) - But I would NOT think it was odd at all if they said they "don't like talking animal stories" -- and I would also not at all assume they meant PICTURE BOOKS when they said that.

GUYS GUYS GUYS, you guys, who wants to share and discuss old obscure kids cartoon shows with me, huh huh huh??

Dino Babies. I am hyperfixated right now on old obscure cartoons and right now my brain is shouting "DINO BABIES. HEY YOU REMEMBER THAT SHOW. DO YOU LOT ALL REMEMBER """DINO BABIES?""" IF YOU DO NOT I HAD BETTER TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT. BECAUSE WHATEVER ELSE HAVE YOU GOT TO DO?? PLAN FOR A WEDDING? PAY THE BILLS, FIND A NEW JOB?

PbffFt.

😃DINO BABIES!!!😃

While this was just another obvious Rugrats/Muppet Babies rip-off, for what it's worth, this show was HUGE to me and my baby sister. We played pretend more so as these guys than their better well known far more original predecessors yet even other kids during the 90s didn't much care about this show. It's too bad they lacked merch at least in the US cos if they had any I would have bought it all. I dunno why this mediocre cartoon was so big a deal but I guess we can chalk it up to us simply being into all things dinosaur across the board.

Overall the writing was neither amazing nor terrible, just average for a wholesome kids show, but the entire thing's appeal hinged around one tiny aspect:

This guy! ...LOOK at this guy! Such a cute lil bastard! He's PRECIOUS! ❤️He's gonna go cruelly concuss some little children with coconuts just for fun from high above, FOR NO REASON, yes he is, YETH HE IIIZ! 😘

This red eyed fiend was called Dak, who was the only antagonist ever on the show, and basically a male Angelica; constantly teasing and pulling tricks purely to get food he could already more easily reach and hoard, or just giggle over suffering. He played things like witches and vampires/ other villains in any retelling of fairy tales and I found him so cool cos pterosaurs were almost always among my favorite dinos, but they didn't quite as often show up. 99% of the time, at least in media up til this point, any evil/mischievous dino, even ones that were not feral just 'playground bullies' or 'rude neighbor' sort of guys, the species chosen for such was always a velociraptor or T-rex, usually portrayed as big, slovenly dumb and older brash teenagers or stupid adult stereotypes.

Sometimes you'd get fictional non-descript looking Bowsers or kaijus. Pterosaurs and pterodactyls meanwhile always got the shaft. You had that one segment of Fantasia, and Don Bluth's Petri, and that was it. Subconsciously even to this day it seems we still have relegated nearly ALL flying dinos to only cowardly sidekicks or filler roles, if not simply outright mindless mounts or 'birds' or five second 'sentient Flintstone-tool' gags. Which is crazy, because if we read up on them, these beasts were literal some of the top apex predators, *nightmare dragons* with private plane wingspan at their mightiest worst, the nastiest and shittiest of cassowary or Canada geese at the lowest end. Which is quite possibly lots worse for us humans to deal with if you dwell on it. Have you ever fucked around with angry swan or Canadian goose? Do NOT TRY.

Dak meanwhile, was not only a pterosaur, he wasn't even any bigger or older than the other babies on the show. He was cunning, mean and extremely agile and literally had the exact same personality and voice of a tamed Zorak from "Space Ghost Coast2Coast"...which is hilarious because nobody else in the show sounds like that. Can you imagine having a friend group like this, I mean in actual real life?...Everyone else has your typical 90's child voice, or at least voices attempting at sounding *kinda* like a child, and everyone else has fairly normal human names like Franklin and Marshall. ...All except this one weird guy who is only called DAK and is clearly AN ADULT and screeching like he was the unholy spawn between Mrs. Bighead and one of the Dark Crystal's Skeksis. You got for no reason this one crackhead or irl Invader Zim character hanging around and constantly harassing you and you can't make him go away so you begrudgingly accept him as your friend AND HE CAN FLY.

...Maybe it's just me? There's just something really kinda funny about having a bunch of normal kids standing around, and then there is THAT guy; the one guy who for no reason hangs out just to be a pest and has fucking bloodshot red eyes, and speaks like Gollum except he eats cigarette butts from the trash cans every day. I can't explain, I just... love it.

Anyone wondering what Ben was doing while Darius and the others were sneaking into the T-Rex 🦖 nest?

Ben frowns, watching Darius stand on the couch and argue with Mae.

"What's going on?" Ben asks, tensing up, glancing from Darius to Mae and back to Darius.

"Darius, are you ok?" Sammy asks. "Wait, where's your necklace?"

"We were out by the T-Rexes and it fell. I was about to get it back when she pulled me here!"

"That is not what happened and you know it, Darius." Mae sighs. "You're acting like a…how old are you, Darius?"

Brooklynn comes to stand by Darius, setting a hand on his shoulder. "He's 13, like me."

"Really?" Mae raises an eyebrow. Ben bristles, Darius isn't a kid.

"He'd have to be, it was in the bylaws." Ben says. "Since there was going to be so many opportunities to get up close to the dinosaurs, they set a rule that you had to be 13 to attend the Camp."

"Probably the only thing they did right." Yaz mutters. Ben chuckles quietly.

"Yeah, Darius and Brooklynn are 13, Ben and I are 14, and Kenji and Yaz are 15." Sammy offers.

"Uh-huh. So, what's your real age, Darius? I know when people are lying, remember." Mae says.

"It's not like I lied or anything, no one ever really asked." Darius says. "They just kinda…went 'oh you won the game and the trip, ok be here at this time.'" He starts walking towards the entrance of the cave.

Ben freezes. Darius, his leader, his friend, the one who had saved them all from the Indominious Rex and Scorpius Rex and Mitch and Tiff….Darius was a kid!? Sure, he'd called him kid before, but that was a joke, since Darius was supposed to only be a couple of months younger than him.

"And where do you think you're going, young man?" Mae asks.

"Outside, to get my necklace. Like I was trying to do before you dragged me back here!"

"Because you were being reckless, child!"

"Darius, being reckless?" The group chuckles. Ben chuckles too, but also starts thinking. Darius had done some concerning things and tended to put himself in danger more often.

"Stay here, Darius. In the Cave. I mean it. Stay." Mae points at the couch, as she starts to leave the cave.

He frowns when Darius accuses Mae of caging the dinos. That's not fair to her, not at all.

"Don't leave. I'll be back soon, kids, I need to go check on Pierce real quick." She leaves quickly.

"Dude, what are you doing?" Brooklynn asks. Darius shrugs her off, heading to the entrance. He stops, peering out and around. "Uh, Where are you going?"

"Out."

"Didn't Mae just say to stay inside?" Sammy asks.

"She did say that." Darius leaves.

The others exchange glances, then get up and start following him. Ben follows them to the entrance, then pauses. He watches the others leave, then turns and follows Mae.

So between the releases of Power Rangers S.P.D. and Mystic Force, the company Spin Master made a PR-themed training kit that came alongside a DVD containing the short film "Power Rangers: Mission Training". I never watched the video when I was a kid, but when I learned of it, it kinda caught my attention.

In it, you learn alongside child rookies Matt and Trevor under your mentor, Rex Ranger (seen above), on how to be a Power Ranger. The short film itself is basically a martial-arts instructional video with clips of the three most recent seasons (Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder, and S.P.D.) interspersed throughout the video. After learning how to fight, block, and morph, you fight off some Zomboids on the way to your Ranger graduation before going up against their leader, Lord Mortar (pronounced like "more tar", not "mortar") before reaching the ceremony.

The Ranger suits are quite different from the normal attire of a Ranger, as seen with Rex here, with the most notable difference is the utter lack of a helmet. Also, no one seems to wear gloves until the end, with Matt and Trevor receiving their gloves as a sign of their graduation. Rex is also wearing gloves, but again, no helmet. Lord Mortar and his Zomboids, on the other hand, are fully CGI, with Lord Mortar himself looking like a lower-budget version of Lord Zedd.

Spoiler Alert, just in case!!!

Ok, so I'm finally all caught up on "Camp Cretaceous". Man, I love this show, and I'm so curious to see how the story ends!! I do wish there more seasons because hey, the show is awesome, and what dino fan wouldn't want to see more dinosaurs?

I loved that Blue showed up more often in season 3, and now I guess she kinda trust Darius? I don't know, but I thought it was cool. The whole "more than one Scorpius Rex" thing was such a twist for me, I'll admit. I didn't see that one coming, at all. I loved all the call-backs to the first "Jurassic Park" movie! I think that's part of why I like this series, so much. I grew up with the first movie, so all the call-backs are a really nice touch. I'm only a little disappointed that Chaos and Limbo didn't make much of any appearance...they had like, only one tiny cameo, and that was it. Rexy didn't make too much of an appearance, either. Oh, well...had to give the Scorpius Rex(es) enough screen-time for each episode, I guess.

The Scorpius Rex, though, I did find to be an interesting antagonist. I didn't think they were as terrifying as the Indominus, however. Even with two of them. But, that's probably just me.

Other than that, seasons 3 and 4 were great!

The only thing I will say, though, for season 4 that I didn't like is this...and feel free to disagree with me if you do, but please...no hate or any negativity: I'm not really a fan of Brooklyn and Kenji being a couple. It just feels kinda...forced, I guess. I mean, there wasn't really a build-up to it throughout the series, ya know? Normally, I don't mind romance, but...I don't know, I feel like the kids should've just waited until after they finally get home or something like that. And that's another problem I have with these two getting together.

First of all, all of them are still literally trying to survive! Second of all, they are still kids! No, they're not little kids, but they're not exactly teenagers, either...I think (have their ages ever been confirmed?). It just kinda bothers me that, as of season 4, Brooklyn and Kenji are suddenly a couple? Ok, not exactly suddenly, but...I hope y'all get what I mean. I don't know, to me, it just doesn't make any sense.

But, the way I see it, them getting together didn't ruin the show for me, and I don't think it overpowered what the show is actually supposed to be about and all that. Hopefully, it stays like with this upcoming final season (please, creators and writers...seriously).

Over all, I still enjoyed seasons 3 and 4. I will admit, though...season 4 is my least favorite, as cool as it is to see the spinosaurus and a saber-tooth tiger, and ya know, the scientist lady (I think her name was Mae) and the baby dinos were cool, too. Everything else was just kinda...weird and a little questionable. The killer robots did get annoying, after awhile (seriously, what was that, "I-Robot"?).

To each their own, though! If season 4 was your favorite, cool!

Alright, I'm finally gonna get some sleep. Once I got done with season 4, I went back and ended up watching the entire first season, again. Whoops 😅.

Goodnight, y'all!

This new Jurassic World movie is like a zombie apocalypse movie, but with dinosaurs, and while that’s pretty cool in theory, I’m just like... kinda ticked-off about the story that got us to this point. A bunch of stupid people seriously kept on trying to figure out a way to use dinosaurs as weapons. Like, every part of that was nonsense. You really think it will somehow be worth all the BS involved to genetically engineer and then steal and then train super-dinos into killing people? The one movie even had this example where a machine would point at a target, indicating that was what the dino should attack... just make the machine shoot bullets. It already aims, we’re half-way there. That movie also gave the reason why the dinosaurs got loose; a volcano was gonna erupt and kill them on the island, which is sad for the dinos, but... that’s just a volcano. That’s just nature. Shouldn’t have been an issue, but nah, we need to transport all these animals off the island, where again- some people STILL want to use them as potential weapons (so freaking STUPID), and then there is yet another dilemma of the dinos being killed, but the clone-kid wants to release them because “They’re like me” (honey, no, I don’t think so)... and that’s what happens. We got dinos running around and eating people, because some dinks tried to make the sexy-dominatrix-rex in the first movie, some other dinks tried to steal the raptors, the dinks who escaped getting eaten now want to rescue the dinos from a volcano, MORE dinks think they can teach the dinos to be attack dogs, and the same dinks who saved them from the volcano just let them out. NOW, the dinosaurs are EVERYBODY’S problem. I’m honestly kinda irritated that all the commercials show action-shots of the “heroes” jumping off buildings and having cool action chase scenes to escape the dinos... what about all the REGULAR PEOPLE? Y’know, all the people who never got a say in any of this? How many little kids at the park got eaten so Rex Dangervest over there could ride his motorcycle to out-run the raptors? Listen, I LOVE silly stories, I love action movies, I love nonsensical situations that get taken to an extreme level... these Jurassic World movies just don’t feel “fun”, if that makes sense. I don’t like any of the people. Only a few little bits are kinda entertaining, but they are so few and far between. It all just feels really BLAH

Give me da loare on all your dinosaurs funny dinos go rawr

I think I made a post about Scar and Archie in particular last year, but I do have a few updates to make to that now that the other three have joined the squad, so this is the perfect excuse to do so. lmao Gonna put that under the cut here-

So I got the idea for the dinos to begin with a year or two ago when I had this dream where some of my OCs went on a mission in the arctic and found a dinosaur character preserved in the ice. They revived them and then went onto try introducing them to modern society. I thought it sounded like an interesting concept, so I decided to add that to my Sonic AU. Originally, it was just going to be Scar, and I chose him being a Utahraptor in particular because that's my favorite dinosaur. I had an idea and a design for him, so all that was left was to give him a name. Someone suggested Archie as a name, and while I didn't think that fit him, I thought it would be a really cute name for an archaeopteryx, so then Archie was born. Originally, I had their chronological ages based off the real life versions of the dinosaurs, but I later decided to make them both from the same year so it would make more sense. I went with 130 million as a good middle ground for all five of the dinos. For Scar, his physical age is 15, as that's how old he was when he was frozen. He is a very skilled spear user, but he also can use his claws to attack. He tends to be rather serious, but he does have a childish side to him as well.

Archie is only physically 10 and much more childish than Scar. He's a decent archer and he also tends to bite or peck. And he also loves to eat. lmao

Fairly recently, a friend of mine and I got into a conversation that gave me the idea of writing a bit about the dinosaur that gave Scar his scar, and that idea prompted me to make the other three dinos. Starting off with Tina Rex, a T-Rex. She's physically 17 and an embodiment of a spoiled rich kid. She takes the old saying about the T-Rex being the "king of the prehistoric era" seriously and demands to be treated as royalty as a result and will resort to fits or even violence to get her way. In fact, the necklace she wears is a tooth she took from beating up another tyrannosaur and wears like a trophy of sorts. She's also the one that gave Scar his scar, as they got into a fight. She will only listen to Peter, but that's mainly because he can do things for her and she understands that if she harasses him, he won't give her things.

Speaking of Peter, here he is! He is a pterodactyl (and it took all my willpower to not name him Terry) at the physical age of 16. He's a primative scientist of sorts and also serves as the peacekeeper of the dino group. He definitely is the most mature out of all five of them. There's also Rémy, an 8-year old rhamphorhynchus who was abandoned by his family when his home was attacked and he couldn't fly away due to his injuries. Peter found him while out collecting supplies and took him in, unofficially adopting him as his younger brother. Rémy very greatly respects his older bro and usually tags along with him and helps him out with his various experiments. Despite what happened to him, he's still very outgoing and loves making new friends.

All five of them are wearing clothes made from mammoth hide and sandals that are made from stone and primative leather, which were all made by each of them. Scar's and Archie's weapons were also made by their users out of stone, wood, and plant fibers. They all speak an ancient dinosaur language that I'm calling Ancient Mesozonian (as a reference to the Mesozoic era, in which the Cretaceous period in particular was 130 million years ago irl), so of course the revival process had quite the language barrier, though all five of them have been working very hard to learn English. Speaking of being revived, all five of them kinda freaked out over it, but in their position, who wouldn't? You wake up in a weird world with a ton of creatures you don't recognize that speak a language you can't understand. Scar and Archie were first, found together in the ice. Thanks to Tails making a somewhat decent translator for what he had to work with, the barrier was slightly breached and they were able to explain what happened to those two. They've adjusted somewhat to modern society, but it is difficult for them. Tina was next. Eggman got pissed off that Scar and Archie wrecked some of his robots and he learned that they used to have a bully of sorts, so he went to the arctic to try to track them down. He found Tina and revived her. Also using a translator that he developed, he was able to communicate with her and used expensive gifts to manipulate her into attacking the heroes and getting back at Scar and Archie in particular. She immediately fell in love with modern society and even ditched her self-made outfit for a silk dress. Scar and Archie kinda panicked over Tina being revived, but remembered about Peter and had the idea to go find him to hopefully talk her out of what she was doing and they begged their new friends to take them to the arctic to look for him, which they agreed to. They found Peter and Rémy together and revived them both. Scar and Archie explained the situation to them in their native language and sure enough, Peter was off to handle things. He was eventually able to talk her out of working for Eggman and she ditched him, much to his annoyance. Peter and Rémy also modernized themselves, dressing more like how you would expect a scientist to dress. Peter also realized that he's nearsighted and got glasses to help him. The two of them are working very hard to not only learn the language, but to become official chemists, Rémy being Peter's assistant. Scar and Archie never modernized their outfits though because they're too proud of the work they put into making them. Could that change in the future when it comes time for new clothes? Perhaps, but for now, no.

I'm still working on developing that a bit, and I'm hoping I'll have some time soon to work on it, but for now, that's what I got. Here's also Peter, Rémy, and Tina's modern outfits!

(Don't worry, he's fine! Nothing like a little chemical fire to put some spice in your life. :) )

Dragons are like large reptiles and well DInosaurs are kinda that -okay they’re birds but they LOOK reptilian and there’s also prehistoric reptiles/lizards that lived along side them- but to a kid like Kisara she sees not much a difference, nor particularly cares,

In fact as far as Kisara is considered Dragons may as well be Dinosaurs (or DInosaurs Dragons? Unclear where she stands)

Which is to say I think she’d quite get along with 1 Rex Raptor/Dino Ryuzaki

Her favourite prehistoric creature is the marine reptile Plesiosaur

Her favourite Dinosaur specifically would be either Archeopteryx, Spinosaurus or maybe Dimetradon

Regardless next to her Butterflies and Bunnies, this girl is very much a Dino child

#100% she'd love em #they're like dragons but real #(and she will argue that point)

[skeletonzimms]

ok ship stuff aside i absolutely loved all the dinos this season

big eatie and little eatie were the sweetest. i’m also 100% for little eatie being the baby t-rex from the lost world

the babies!! i loved how they referred to them as their kids, especially when the girls told ben they were taking them to the other biomes and ben did the little nonchalant dad thing. angel and rebel being spinosaurus/centrosaurus hybrids is so interesting, their little sails were adorable! i kinda feel bad their all alone in the snow biome though, at least they have eachother! and firecracker is just the cutest, i was so heartbroken when they chipped her but i’m so glad she’s okay. the parallels between her and bumpy with ben were everything to me. (speaking of bunpster.. that scene of her at camp absolutely wrecked me, i’ll never recover)

the spinosaurus was absolutely killer, ik it wouldn’t have really made sense but i think it would’ve been cool if they managed to fit the satellite ringtone in there somewhere. it was a bit odd to me that it was in the desert biome but ig of they’re feeding her it doesn’t really matter anyways. can’t help but wonderwhat darius would think knowing he faced off with the very same spinosaurus dr grant did. also, eating that saver tooth tiger was absolutely bonkers, it was so cool though

lastly i would just like to say: fuck pteranodons, all my homies hate pteranodons

(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Childhood Friends AU ♥

Kids (3-10)~

You’ve lived next to each other for as long as you two can remember

Although he’s about 3 months older, you’ve always been close

You’re the one who got him into dinosaurs, btw. He didn’t want to watch Jurassic Park with you, but he’s always been a bit weak for you, lmao.

He had to physically pull you off of Yamaguchi’s bully’s and to this day you are proud as hell of it. 

When you guys have a sleep over, he always says he hates cuddling and goes to sleep with his back to you, but always ends up waking up wrapped around you anyway

For like a year and a half you were taller than him, but then this asshole got his growth spurt

He’s so soft, omg, he always remembers your favorite snacks so he can get you them

He saves you spots next to him

Holds your hand so “You don’t get lost like the idiot you are”

(Super easy to fluster at this age btw, especially when he’s called cute)

Tweens (11-13)~

This is when you guys first started getting teased for being friends

You offered to only hang out with him after school because you knew he hated the attention

He rejected that idea and called you an idiot

Not too long after that is when he started snipping at everyone, to your great amusement

(”Aw, look, it’s Kishi and n/n, are you guys going on a date?”) (”Oh, look, it’s the kid that said he could date anyone he wanted then started crying when he got rejected.”) (”Oh my gosh, Kishi no.”)

Eventually everyone just left you two alone, though it didn’t stop some kids for forming a betting pool about your relationship

This mf sprouted like a god damned tree, you are unable to count just how many times he’s rested his arm on your head or looked down at you smirking. 

You fix that though with a good elbow to his side when he gets cocky, the bastard. 

Whatever, enough about his growth. You got taller as well, just nowhere near him. Your more feminine aspects starting coming in as well, which got you some attention from boys before Kishi scared them off.

This time is also when you two started volleyball. You as the boy’s manager and sometimes practicing with the girls and Tsukishima bragging to you about his big brother who played for Karasuno High.

You remembered your friend mentioning that he’s never been to one of his brothers’ games before, so you decided to get two tickets so you could surprise him!

That was the first time Kishi’s ever ignored you for that long.

It was the last day of school when he showed up at your house with your favorite snacks, drinks, your favorite (of his) dino plush, and a playlist.

You called it your Kishi Care Kit, he called you a nuisance

He spent the summer making it up to you

Teens(14-18)~

He did not want you to become manager of the team, at all. That’s probably the closest he’s ever come to begging

You still did it though, lmao

In your defense, you maybe kinda was still scared he’d leave you like he did in middle school again. 

Anyway! This was also a good way of making new friends! Once you, Kishi, and Yama clicked, you never really bothered the make other friends.

This might also be your potential abandonment issues talking, but we’re not gonna go into that

However, no matter how many Kishi said you could do what you wanted, he found himself getting possessive.

Walking up to you and yanking you away from whoever was talking to you

Standing ominously behind you until the other person left

Verbally ripping apart the others person, you name it

Him being your childhood best friend, you might have ignored for a couple months but eventually you got tired of his hot and cold act and you two clashed

While you two were going back and forth, he said something he shouldn’t have and hurt you. You knew sometimes he was blunt, and borderline mean, but never to you. It hit harder then you thought it would.

You left before he could say anymore. He hurt you in middle school, and he did it again a year later. You should have left after the first time to save yourself the heart ache. 

Throughout the entirety of your guys lives, you’ve always been the one to go to him after a fight. Not that you were wrong all the time, but you know your best friend. He probably one of the worse people to ever fight with because he doesn’t apologize. 

Even after he ignored you for months on end and gave you those gifts, the words sorry never left his mouth.

You’ve always gone back to him, because he knew you would understand his short comings when it came the that flaw of his.

You’re not sure if you want to understand anymore

Almost three months later and countless awkward practices, he knocked on your window a little past 3 in the morning

You let him in, and you two are sitting across from each other. He’s staring at you while you hug Rex (the plush he gave you) and look anywhere but him.

15 minutes are silence goes by before he says anything.

“I’m so sorry, n/n.”

You hadn’t heard your nickname since before 7th grade

He apologized to you for multiples things

What happened in middle school, acting like he didn’t care, ruining your chances at making friends multiple times, what he said to you during that fight. It all comes rushing out and all you can do is stare at him because he’s rambling and his voice his cracking and are those tears?

You don’t bother trying to stop yourselves from hugging him.

Once he’s calms, you ask him why

Why did you leave me? 

Why did you ignore me?

Why did you hurt me?

He explained everything, not leaving a single detail out. And then it was quiet again.

“I love you.”

“You do?”

“How could I not?”

Time-skip~

You two dated throughout high school, collage, and are still going strong

Of course, you’ve had your ups and downs, but you pulled through.

Your both busy with your respective careers, or the beginnings of one, but you always make time for each other.

You always sleep in his arms at the end of the day, you book tours  at his museum specifically asking for him, and make it to as many of his games as you can. He also makes sure to wake you up with breakfast every morning with a kiss, eat lunch with you when your breaks sink up, and give you gifts 

Just to remind you

It was when he blocked his rival scoring the winning point when he told you to look under your seat at the end of the game

You, confused, did so, embarrassed he was doing this on live television

Then you saw it.

And you had never said yes so fast.

@alto-march-of-death​ .... Im back 👉👈 WITH A GIFT I hope it’s not too bad, I wanted to surprise you so I couldn’t really ask for you opinion. I have been working on this for A WHILE and I’m so glad it’s done
