Hi, do we have any idea when the back-reflecting eyes, like your art of a night-time trail cam, would have evolved? Would it be accurate to imagine , say, a trex with that? I'm guessing eyes haven't changed that much in the mammal branch in just 66My, (with the social colouring of humans as an exception), but I really have no education on this field and got curious.
I don't think anyone has every looked into this. The fossil record can't really deliver an answer to this but molecular clocks might help. However it appears that these reflective layers (Tapetum lucidum) in the eye of various groups arose several times to my knowledge. I put these into images of many different animals.
Here it's Baru.

i think the people making the jurassic world movies really missed the point of the original movies. they just showed up to make monster movies. except they got which characters are the monsters wrong. it was never the dinosaurs the same way it was never Dr. Frankenstein’s “monster.” the dinos didn’t ask to be created. they’re just animals. the point was that science fucked up. the whole entire point was baldly stated right there in the first movie: “your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.”
the iRex was a monster intrinsically. she wasn’t just an animal. she didn’t act like an animal, she acted like a monster. the indoraptor wasn’t an animal, it was a monster, just out to kill and destroy for no reason. even in the 3rd one, therizinosaurus - an herbivore, for the record - just straight up murders some deer standing in its way and then actively tries to hunt down claire for no reason. pyroraptor appears just to be scary and swim around looking cool but just generally being a monster. giganotosaurus was just there to fight the trex and the therizinosaurus and die because they couldn’t kill a trex after she survived this long.
the creators of jurassic world just wanted to make monster movies, and that’s valid. they just didn’t really understand who the monsters were.

📂 + Sir Ivan of Zandar 👀
Ivan got lost in the city the first two days he was here. He still frequently gets lost in the city.
He also doesn’t trust taxies and cars in general to get him around. Either get him a horse, or he’ll walk. With Tyler going “YOU CANT WALK FOR EIGHTY MILES IVAN—”
More than a few times though, he’s found himself wandering in the city, with Tyler or Kendall desperately calling him on the Dino morpher, yelling “WHERE ARE YOU” and him yelling back “IF I KNEW WHERE I WAS, SIR TYLER, I WOULD FIND MY WAY BACK! But as it happens, thou beslubbering trex-witted apple john, I DO NOT KNOW WHERE I AM, AND HENCE I AM CALLING YOU FOR HELP”
Oh and his curses crack chase up so much that he starts recording em for “use” later on~
Send “📂 + Character” for a random yet completely useless headcanon I have

It's Autistic Pride Day!!! I made some hcs for the detective gang to celebrate
Most of these work with the 1930s, though some of them could only apply in a modern au
Daisy Wells
- understimulated by silence
- loves stimming by bouncing on the 'stupidly springy' (as named by Lavinia) Deepdean beds
- hyperverbal when nervous
- special interests are murder cases (obviously), her family, and developing one in astrology as she needed it for a case
- also had a special interest in high society so became easier to mask
- bites Bertie and Hazel occasionally just to show she loves them
- Toastdog's fur is very calming to her, which helped a lot while at Fallingford
- finds at Deepdean feeling Hazel's hair works just as well
- meltdowns often triggered by not being able to stim as she likes
- used to play by setting up scenes in her dollhouse - got increasingly frustrated with her governess if she tried to make the dolls talk or got Daisy to play in a 'traditional' sense
- loves 'clicky' stim toys
George Mukherjee
- when they were little, their mum and dad sung songs if they were nearing a meltdown, has a recording of Harold singing on his phone
- liable to kill if he gets too hot - levels of permissible physical touch depend on the temperature (very affectionate in winter)
- stims by spinning round in circles
- if he gets a question right in class he stims by shaking his head happily
- very sarcastic but can NEVER pick up on it when others do it
- otherwise, scarily good at picking up cues and reading body language - only got so good from reading all those detective novels where the characters could pick up every little thing about someone
- has to bring a pillow from home to sleep with at Weston otherwise they can tell it's Not The Right Pillow
- has a special interests in beetles and autism
Alexander Arcady
- flaps his hands ALL THE TIME
- very stimmy when experiencing any emotion at all - happy? flapping his arms. scared? swaying side to side
- space and doctor who special interests
- chews on paper, pencils, anything he can find and once went to the infirmary because he chewed a pen and it exploded in his mouth
- absolutely cannot read a room - if it's silent will inevitably fill it with a space fact
- no spatial awareness - very clumsy (he'd never heard that phrase before George said it to him so Alex was very confused and absolutely indignant he did have spatial awareness because it was his special interest!!!)
- hyperempathetic (I feel like this is technically canon if you read between the lines)
- rejection sensitive dysphoria
Hazel Wong
- rocks on her feet when she laughs, and when she's deep in thought
- only has shutdowns not meltdowns, often triggered by too much visual stimulation like Deepdean corridors
- her father has a fish tank in his study that she used to sit and watch for hours
- doesn't really like physical touch but will permit shoulder touches - Daisy leaning on her, friendly shoulders knocking together from George, a shoulder squeeze from Alex
- loves to categorise things - collects the jellycat bunnies and has a notebook dedicated to when she got them and their colours etc
- tries to combat autism trex arms by always clutching a book to her chest
- actually has verbal shutdown alot, but tries to mask it
- thinks she has no special interests but a little too into stamps for it not to be a special interest
- visual stimmer - loves fireworks and sparklers
- likes tugging on Daisy's curls as a stim too
- food hyposensitive, prefers really spicy and flavourful foods otherwise she thinks it tastes like cardboard in her mouth

You are a joy and a light on Tumblr and I just thought you should know that directly. It's so great to see you around! <33333 (DID YOU ENJOY TAMMY AND THE TREX)
Coming from a verified joy and light of tumblr yourself?? Thank you so much omg, it's very nice to be marinating in bleach blorbos again!!
AND I FUCKING LOVED TAMMY AND THE T-REX.
The way there are SO many moments where you genuinely can't tell if the actors were struggling to remember their lines or were being forced to improv because they were only given the bones of a scene, especially toward the end completed the experience. It is truly amazing to watch. Byron and Tammy are just absolute weirdos and I love them. That one scene where they're a split second away from like hissing--CLAWS ALREADY BARED--to tell the guys in the hospital to piss off.....perfection.
The world famous Dr Wachenstein and Helga were fucking amazing. I went back for this screenshot because I am still obsessed with this scene. Helga just straight puffing smoke on Michael's brain and eyeing her beloved doctor as he just has the time of his life showing off the fun of brains.
Also THE ENDING?????????????????? I was like 'oh so he's gonna die or they're magically gonna find a body for him'. But NO. They just went for it. They put that brain in a fucking fishbowl and rigged it to a video recorder so it could short circuit on booze while watching a strip show. Unbelievable. Incredible. Hope he never finds a body!
