Just A Really Big Fan Of Reptiles (he/him)

Dino Nerd. I mainly post about paleontology stuff and Benrius. May sometimes contains 18+ or unrelated content. Ship and let ship.

Welcome, everyone!

Please read before following!

🦕🦕🦕 ABOUT MYSELF 🦖🦖🦖

☄️ You can refer to me as Crocs or via my AO3 name Dalthrin, both are fine with me. My pronouns are he/him.

☄️ I am a gay man, so any queerphobic/misogynistic comments in my posts, ship related or otherwise, will be blocked on sight.

☄️ I won’t post my age on here for obvious reasons, but my teenage years have long passed. I don’t have a problem mingling with fellow fans of any age, but if you’re a minor and (rightfully) wary of interacting with adults, I would advise caution.

☄️ On that note, if you have a problem with anything I post, follow your own DNI and unfollow or block me. This is my personal space and it’s not my duty to censor myself for your safety or comfort.

☄️ All of my posts will be public. I mainly post about Benrius and other JW stuff, as well as paleontology now and then cause I’m also a dino nerd irl. If something unrelated intrigues me I’ll tag it properly, especially if it ends up being NSFW so you can filter it out.

🦕🦕🦕 ABOUT MY FANDOMS 🦖🦖🦖

☄️ I am staunchly proship/profic, no matter how icky or downright depraved the content. If it’s purely fictional, it has a right to exist. My taste in fiction is nowhere near vanilla, up to and including incest, underage, polyamory, BDSM, and noncon/dubcon. So again, if you’re a minor, exercise caution. I can differentiate between fiction and reality so hold the torches and pitchforks.

☄️ I’m into all kinds of fandoms really. Books, TV, movies, games, comics, you name it. This account, however, is mainly dedicated to Camp Cretaceous and Chaos Theory.

☄️ As stated above and in my bio, Benrius is my ultimate OTP and I will not tolerate anyone coming into my posts saying they’re not canon, that they’re bad for each other or problematic or whatever. If you hate on them on your own timeline, fine, but don’t come into others’ spaces trashing on something they love. It’s the epitome of rudeness.

☄️ I know how popular Dinostar, Benji, and Bengia are, and some even ship them alongside Benrius. To me, however, they are all NOTPs, so I will talk about them only if I absolutely must. I can still chat with those who ship them just fine, I can just filter out those tags. I appreciate if you could extend me the same courtesy if Benrius happens to be your NOTP, and will hold no ill will if you block me for it.

☄️ I mostly contribute to Benrius via fics or gifs. You can find my works by searching for the tags #my fics or #my gifs on my tumblr. Here is also a link to my AO3.

☄️ As always, ship and let ship!

When You Call The Last Light Down

It had been going so well.

Just another meetup of the Camp Fam; talking about their lives, jobs, schools, and generally updating each other on the affairs of the world around them. When the clock struck nine PM they each headed to their respective vehicles, ready to go home for the night.

And then Ben threw up.

It’s been a hot minute since I posted art so here’s this weird parrot I drew:)

Based on a recent publication about Sinopterus and the color of its integument and head crest, the feathers being a dark iridescent with greens, blues, and purples throughout. The crest being horizontally striped and with magenta pigments, the soft tissue elements around the eye and coloration on the chin are speculative. It is such a striking and unique animal and further cements my love for pterosaurs.

The forest came to an abrupt stop, leaving nothing but a single lone Tree.

Kris gazed back for a moment, the forest stretching on for infinity on both sides. Yet when they looked forward, there was nothing.

Kris went toward the Tree.

Well, there is a man here.

i think the most upsetting thing about american-flavor puritanism is how fucking patronizing it is. it's 2026 but the whole world still has to deal with a cultural hegemony grown from the gnarled vestiges of victorian-era paternalism. tax-paying adults with passports and the right to vote are treated like wayward children because of the antiquated idea that authorities must protect the weak minds of the unwashed masses from depravity and corruption. the average american can send a fellow citizen to the chair, but they can't piss in a ditch without being declared an outlaw. american entertainment media is saturated with sex, but you can't talk about it online without getting your account suspended. it's such blatant censorship at a universal scale, but because sexual content is framed as inherently dangerous, this restriction on basic adult autonomy, this blanket denial of moral and intellectual adulthood, can be reframed as protection, an expression of care, a moral duty. "won't someone think of the children!" I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN!

thank god that the video game that features slow motion animations of graphic gunshot wounds and is rated 18+ has a profanity filter in single player offline mode. thank you for protecting this 33 year old mind from the corrupting influence that is a horse named apple slut

Hey, man, c'mere. Listen. Get in real close, this is important.

You're gonna make stuff again. You're gonna make stuff you're proud of. You're gonna make stuff you're excited to share. You're going to feel that overwhelming drive to create, not just the frantic I want to want to you're stuck in now. You're going to have awesome ideas, and you're going to make them into reality. You're going to create again. You're still an artist. You're still a writer. You're still home to the same passion you had before. You'll find it again. It's not gone. It's just resting. Let it rest. You're going to make stuff again. I promise.

I think a big reason I'm slightly insane about Barney Calhoun is because he's so... ordinary. There's technically nothing special about him. He's a college dropout, his only armor is a helmet and a vest, he's got basic firearms training and some maintenance knowledge and that seems to be it. He's just Some Guy who likes drinking beer and reading about conspiracy theories and secretly keeping a pet toad in his locker.

He didn't even start out as his own character– "Barney" is the nickname that playtesters gave to all of Half Life's security guards, and Valve ran with it. It was retconned that our Barney appears in the opening sequence of Half Life 1 for a few seconds, but he's identical to every other guard... because technically, he IS every guard.

He exists to pass on messages, to open doors, to lighten the mood, to drop ammo or weapons that the player can scavenge, and to die. Crushed by debris. Gunned down by the military during a coverup. Bleeding out inches from a med station. As we learn at the beginning of Blue Shift, that's literally in his job description at Black Mesa: his personal safety is the lowest priority, placed even below the preservation of equipment. He's a cog in the machine, and the machine has deemed him expendable.

As someone else here on Tumblr pointed out, even the G-Man (who keeps tabs on all of Half Life's protagonists throughout the series) seems uninterested in Barney. By the end of Blue Shift, G-Man appears to have stopped watching; he doesn't even care enough to find out if Barney survived, and writes him off as "out of range" and likely deceased.

In the face of everything, Barney seems insignificant. Gordon's the one out there blowing things up, pissing off powerful entities, and inadvertently becoming a hero with a near-mythical reputation. And yet, whether it's working undercover in Civil Protection, or acting as a Resistance field commander, or simply giving an old friend a crowbar... Barney's impact, while going unseen by the wider world, is essential. He knows how to play the part of a cog in the machine, and he'll help bring down the system from the inside.

Gordon and Barney play complementary roles to each other, down to the colors of their uniforms. Gordon is the right man in the wrong place. Barney is the wrong man in the right place. It probably wasn't even intentional on Valve's part, but man, I canNOT get enough of it
