Just a splash in the water

I had a dream I was drowning in orange soda and then I realized it was just a Fanta sea

If giraffes were predators they would look both hilarious and terrifying while sneaking up on their prey

[i-draws-dinosaurs]

I’m afraid you’ve missed the predatory giraffes by about 66 million years mate.

These guys are Azhdarchid pterosaurs, and they were some of the strangest reptiles to ever exist. They were perfectly capable of flight, but their physiology suggests that they may have spent a significant portion of their lives hunting on the ground. 

The largest of them could reach over 5 metres tall while standing, and had a 10-metre wingspan. They varied greatly in body type, from the tall, spindly forms of Quetzalcoatlus and Arambourgiania (images 4 and 1-2 respectively) to the heavy brute strength of Hatzegopteryz, a species that may have used its head to bludgeon its prey (images 2 and 3).

There has never been another flying animal before or since to have reached such incredible sizes, nor any predator so intimidatingly tall. Well, not any that we know of yet.

All of these illustrations are by Mark Witton, a palaeontologist and artist who specialises in pterosaurs. This is his blog about palaeontology and the science of reconstructing extinct species. You can find out more about each of these images here, here and here.

(Oh, and by the way … these are NOT dinosaurs)

What the hell these are so intimidating, why aren’t these in any dinosaur movies

[i-draws-dinosaurs]

Just imagine it … 

The protagonists and a few disposable minor characters are walking carefully through a forest at night, covered by a thick fog. They know there are dinosaurs everywhere, but they can’t see more than three metres in front of their own faces.

Eventually they stop near a small cluster of trees to rest. As they sit there, exhausted, one of the trees begins to move. Everyone freezes, terrified. They have no idea what this thing is.

Then a massive beak slams down, longer than a person is tall, and plucks one of the minor characters off his feet and into the air.

The small group erupts into movement, frantically running away from whatever those things are. There’s two of them now, and as the fog begins to clear the group are able to make out more of their shape. They are huge, with long, spindly necks topped with a massive, daggerlike head. The long legs that they once mistook for trees have an almost mechanical movement as the giant creatures stalk towards them. And then comes the next terrible surprise.

These things can run.

I had a dream that unless the teacher told us class was over, we were forbidden from going out the door. Our teacher was very forgetful, and maybe even malicious. After being forced to stay past sunset many days, my class decided we were going to break out every night. Eventually our attempts led us to discovering rifts in space-time where we could warp. So we never used the door. Checkmate.

what? you going to critique my dreams? my subconscious creations, that I did by accident, while asleep? the chemicals in my brain? are you going to use your foul eyes and dissect all of the plotholes in my dreams? you going to critique the weather? harass the clouds? make fun of thunder for being off key? remind me to come to your house and shred your shoes

[lovesjustachemical]

I JUST HAD AN AWESOME IDEA FOR A DnD CHARACTER.

a half-dragon, but instead of the traditional Dragonborn humanoid body it’s literally just a small dragon of whatever species the parent was. 

but with a human face.

[jaceriven]

@bunjywunjy if I understand anything of DnD, its that the weirder the character, the worse the pun in the name needs to be.

[bunjywunjy]

I… kind of just want to name him Maniford. 

Manny for short.

[jaceriven]

What about Man'yfes Drakebody?

(Man-ee-fes)

[man face dragon body, geddit?]

[bunjywunjy]

wait wait

what about

MANIFORD MANDRAKE

[jaceriven]

I like it! Lock in maniford mandrake!

[bunjywunjy]

WE’RE DOING THIS. WE’RE MAKING THIS HAPPEN.

what color should this guy be? he’s gonna be Chaotic Good alignment but I’m torn between Silver, Bronze, and Red.

[bunjywunjy]

I think I’m gonna go with Bronze. I want the aquatic abilities and I dig the aesthetic.

just imagine this, but with the face of a dude and a devastating love of puns.

now, how the hell do I even roll stats for this thing???

[thecraftybear]

What class will Maniford be? Sounds like a bard.

[bunjywunjy]

I wasn’t sure, but now that you said that I think he is in fact going to have to be a Bard.

[bunjywunjy]

No. But you are already dead.

I forgive you, Prompt Guy! It’s the prompts! They made you do it! I know you’re just a victim like the rest of us.
