Read my story! It's pretty good, I promise. I try to update every week.

Mostly Inaccurate Quotes from the story (mild spoilers):

Veloci: I like my humans like I like my coffee. Moynihan: And how's that... Veloci: Roasted, ground, boiled, and cold. Moynihan: Ah.

Rodger looking at Rexy: Hey Max, maybe she's cougar. Max: STFU Rexy: GET THE HELL OFF MY LAWN YOU WHIPPERSNAPPERS

Caruso *ogling some cute girls AND a cute guy tour guide* Girls make fun of Buzz Also Caruso: NOW SEE HERE, YOU TRAGICALLY UNFASHIONABLE BITCHES

Victor Veloci: Dr. Wu! It's so good to see you. Would you care to join me for dinner? Henry Wu:...I'm not the dinner, am I? Veloci: Whatever gave you that idea?

Veloci: Hey Masrani, it would look really sick if you got in that helicopter and saved us all. Do it for the gram.

Owen Grady: *random primate noises* Blue: Hey Dad, you ever considered maybe speaking raptor for once? Joanne: Sorry dear, he's not that smart. Blue: WHATTHEFUU------

(Maybe) Blue muttering: Overgrown chew toy... Bumpy:....bitch

Hi there! Do you think you'll ever update your Skeleton Anne story or has it been abandoned for all intents and purposes ?

I might get to it eventually but ignorant teenage me did not handle Thanksgiving Town respectfully in my more matured opinion and it makes me really mad at myself. I need to write up an address about that soon and fix that WHOLE plot line before I move on. I do want to continue the story but I think I need to overhaul the entire story and work on the outline from scratch. There's a lot of unnecessary filler.

Hello, currently just lurking on tumblr, hence the anon, but it's nice to see another dino squad fan

I've only met one person irl who also watched this show so anytime I see another is always a pleasure

I'm still in the middle of reading your crossover fic, wonder if any of the jw characters will realize that something is up with the random dinosaurs

Well funny you say that because the last two chapters hint at that. I can't really say how much they might figure out but several characters get closer than others to getting complete answers. Out of spite I might keep Claire Dearing clueless/j. I don't actually hate her.

who says they don't age? moynihan used to look younger, after all. maybe veloci stays at middle aged by choice while moynihan's fine being an old lady, maybe the dino squad can do the same (caruso will never age past 40)

40? This is Caruso we're talking about. If he lets himself age past 25 I'll eat my hat /lh

More incorrect quotes from my Jurassic World/Dino Squad crossover fanfic. (By the way I'm switching to using AO3 as my primary site.)

Gray: I'm a Disney princess

Fiona in Spino firm: YOU ARE NOT A DISNEY PRINCESS STOP WALKING UP TO DINOSAURS WHO MIGHT EAT YOU

[joanne-the-mothersaurus]

Joanne: This millennium, I lost my "dear" Victor.

Victor: QUIT TELLING EVERYONE I'M DEAD!

Joanne: Sometimes I can still hear his voice...

[joanne-the-mothersaurus]

Veloci: My ex wife still misses me...

Moynihan: No I don't.

Veloci: THATS NOT HOW THE THING GOES!

(later, giggling to herself over a cup of tea)

Moynihan: But my aim is getting better!

I’ve always headcanoned that the were former mates because of one word, in one line, in the first episode.

“Humans gained dominance because brute force, lost out to reason… and love” - Joanne Moynihan

She pauses for a moment before adding “and love” though it’s barely noticeable.

[joanne-the-mothersaurus]

I totally agree. I based a lot of how I write Moynihan just on that one line. It could either mean she left because she decided she loved and valued humanity more than her connection to him. Or she fell in love with humanity and what they became, but she knew how much he hated humans and how dangerous he might be, but still left him alive because she loved him. Although, I don't think they ever would want to kill each other. Partly because they would be alone then. They're like the Doctor and the Master. I think their relationship is very complicated.

[electra-jolts-magnetism]

I took it as more along the lines of “sometimes love isn’t enough”

They loved each other (and deep down probably still do) but when it came down to it, they couldn’t get past their opposing morals/beliefs/opinions and their relationship fell apart as a result.

[joanne-the-mothersaurus]

I think that's a better description than what I said. I was trying to say those kind of vibes.

Incorrect quote from my Dino Squad/Jurassic World crossover fanfic.

Victor Veloci: Hey Simon. It would totally be a responsibility business man thing to do to fly that helicopter into battle with a giant gun, even thought you don't have your pilot license yet. Think of the PR. Do it for the gram.

Simon Masrani: Bet

Veloci:...Because when you die all my company's stock will skyrocket and I can pluck this park from your cold dead hands.

Masrani: What?

Veloci: What?

[viralarcadian]

from a doylist standpoint the reason all the mutantsaurs have very theropod-y features like sharp teeth is ro make them look more menacing and dangerous to the audience

but from a watsonian standpoint well. veloci has to be getting the dinosaur DNA from somewhere so he's probably using his own as a baseline and trying to reverse engineer all other dinosaur clades from that, and so that's why they all look very raptor-y to a certain degree

[joanne-the-mothersaurus]

That actually makes a lot of sense. He's going to have a way easier time using his DNA than whatever scraps he can scrounge up from fossils. Could also be why he's so obsessed with the Squad. It also implies that Moynihan knows something about how to stabilize the process. The plot hole I get is Buzz being a Pterosaur and Caruso and Rodger being a whole taxonomy-thing-I-can't-remember over from theropods. But we can explain that with whatever bits of DNA from fossils or more of Ms Moynihan's possible involvement/(manipulation?)

Moynihan: No I don't.

[joanne-the-mothersaurus]

Veloci: I like my humans like I like my coffee.

Moynihan: And how's that...

Veloci: Roasted, ground, boiled, and cold.

Moynihan: Ah.

For women's history month, we're gonna focus on one particular historical woman. The prompt for March 2023 is:

What was Ms. Moynihan’s life like during the millions of years between mutating into a human and becoming a teacher? | Ms. Moynihan or her dino form in a historical setting.

Hey also I feel like Victor Veloci isn’t a good name for him anymore, since He isn’t a velociraptor anymore. What should his new name be?

[joanne-the-mothersaurus]

Fiona: Just because you are bitchy and gay doesn't make you cool Caruso.

Caruso: *gasp* Who told you I was gay?!?

Fiona: MY EYES
