Would T-Rex from Dinosaur Comics / Qwantz comics by Ryan North survive?

I feel like this is in large part going to be based on whether or not t-rex blood is vamp food & if t-rexs can be mind controlled??? Might come down to an actual fight.

T-Rex probably stomps on the woman with a crucifix, but he doesn't shave, so probably ok. He does have a personal friendship with both God & Satan though?

T-Rex is not great at social niceties, so I don't know if Dracula will want him around for very long, but T-Rex is also a dinosaur so I don't know if Dracula can actually get him to leave. Maybe they bond over being apex predators???

T-Rex can definitely not climb (those lil arms!), but he might be able to out predator the wolves & eat them.

I am going to apologize in advance for the fact that I just do not possess the philosophical education or terminology to give this subject the treatment it deserves. When it comes to philosophy, I possess the wisdom of Socrates: I know what I do not know. I know that the three characters of Dinosaur comics embody different philosophical archetypes. I know that T-rex's rhetorical style has a name, as does his axiology. I could not for the life of me tell you what they are. I remand the deeper analysis to Philosophy Side of Tumblr

Given the metaphysical reality of the comic strip, I think it is fair to understand T-rex as an ensoulled being, in which case his blood might be attractive to Dracula. I am not up to date on the scientific thinking around the penetrability of tyrannosaur skin, but they definitely don't osteoderms and I don't believe we have found any evidence of scutes or scales. We have also found zero evidence of feathers, despite looking really really hard, and so while the current understanding is that feathers on dinosaurs are the rule, not the exception, T. rex seems to have been exceptional. Which is moot because T-rex the character definitely lacks them. So I am going to say that Dracula can physically bite T-rex and has a tentative interest in so doing.

T-rex has a strong interest in religion on a philosophical level, but he is definitely not Anglican. He would accept the crucifix specifically to argue with Utahraptor over whether or not it was idolatrous - though I don't think the townsfolk would offer it given all the stepping on dudes and houses he gets up to. And as you say, he doesn't shave. He also has no need of mirrors, as he already knows how cool and sexy he is.

On that level, I think he would be difficult for Dracula to psychologically torment. Now, while it is true that Jonathan Harker also goes into Castle Dracula already knowing how cool and sexy he is, and that provides him some level of protection, he's just not on T-rex's level. I would venture that not even Zaphod Beeblebrox is on T-rex's level, which is impressive because Zaphod literally has an ego the size of the entire universe. I don't think T-rex can be gaslit, because he would enthusiastically take any doubts about his own sanity as a jumping off point for philosophical examination and possibly epistemology. He probably is susceptible to Brain Fever. When Ornithomimus finds him in Budapest he doesn't know who he is but he knows his genitals are GREAT.

The main source of conflict will be that both T-rex and Dracula really like hearing themselves talk. I don't think Dracula would be very pleased slipping into the role of Utahraptor and letting T-rex take the lead - and T-rex can't stop being the thing that he is any more than Dracula can. If they can work out a mutually satisfying conversational structure, I think T-rex could keep Dracula entertained indefinitely. He would definitely have thoughts about changing attitudes towards violent conquest. They might discuss the nature of the soul and the extent to which treating it as transactional (eg in Faust) is compatible with Christian teaching, or whether you can be damned without your own participation (say, by being turned into a vampire). T-rex may be curious about dabbling in vampirism provided he can do so temporarily - which, given T-rex, he is confident he can.

T-rex definitely cannot climb down the wall with those itty bitty arms. He probably can't fit through the window. On the other hand I am not sure walls can contain him (there are no walls in the comic save on the stomped cabin). I do not think he would be deterred by Dracula's doors or his wolves.

So I think T-rex of Dinosaur Comics can survive Castle Dracula, and raise some very interesting questions while he's there

Unrelatedly, the @wheresjonno project last summer ended up giving Jonathan Harker a pet T. rex named Hamlet, but she's an entirely different character who doesn't fit in the London Underground. Nevertheless.

you know what experience i haven't had in a while, is randomly stumbling across some crack fic that actively deals massive amounts of psychic damage. like i remember when i was in high school i read this one Duncan Idaho mpreg fic where he was carrying twin clones of Leto II and the writer had gone into a weird amount of detail about the exact genetic modifications the Tleilaxu had made to the poor guy to make this possible? i simultaneously wish 1) i was making this up, and 2) i could find it again.

#qwantz mentioned mpreg fic so now i'm thinking about it lol #god that thing was a trip #hello varanu

Plamo: Pokémon Select 049: Gardevoir

This was a nice, simple model kit. I panel lined it primarily with the mechanical gundam pencil liner. Also, instead of using the stickers, i painted the eyes with paint pens (gundam metallic black GM172 and pinkie pink PM03). The only stickers were the eyes, so this is a nice simple clean build. It comes with two arm joints and two hand poses per side so you can change the pose of the hand. It cuts a striking figure. Also, the legs are kinda flimsy, but that's okay because this model actually primarily stands via the base of its... dress? I guess you could call that a dress. So you can wiggle the legs in various directions, i couldn't think of anything particularly creative to do with posing them though, so this is what yall get. The fact that it has a wider but more "hollowed out" standing position, it's actually really nice to keep on softer surfaces, like the qwantz branded dinosaur Squishable it sits on. Some nice dynamic stability. There's not much improving on this you could do unless you wanted to paint it or do some sort of special texturing (I'm not sure what would be appropriate for this particular figure) Here's the stats for nerds:
