based on the most recent ask, if the baby T-Rex’s didn’t imprint on the mc, do they still sort of trust them? or is tjr mc just seen as someone who brings them food and stuff?

For the older T-Rex, they were already four when mc joined and would now be about 16 which would make them roughly full-sized. While these guys are actually thought to have an intelligence comparable to chimpanzees or monkeys, meaning they could probably easily associate you with the person that means they’re about to be fed, in no way, shape, or form would they spare you if you were in front of them. You’d make a nice dino snack.

The two babies that imprinted on you would likely have more trust towards you. Like how lions or other predator species who have been hand reared are often quite affectionate towards their human. However, I wouldn’t necessarily trust them with your life once they reached sexual maturity. For the sake of the IF, we’ll say that you could probably still have a cuddle with them, but in real life…they’d probably kill you but it might not be entirely on purpose. It might be roughhousing or play fighting or you accidentally doing something to trigger a predatory response. And that’s just in the case that T-Rex would behave like modern predators. But I think it’s safe to say that you’d need to be very careful around your 40ft, 8-9 ton dino-puppies.

Similar to how Owen Grady from Jurassic World had some leeway with the raptors because they know him and imprinted on him, but he didn’t actually trust them not to eat everyone all that much.

answer them all

OH THATS A LOT. keep in mind i am so indecisive and have many favorites so

🐕 a sentence you read/wrote that stuck with you?

one i wrote:

He hates him like the moon hates the sun, always running after but never being able to catch up.

(from my tachihara fic)

three i didn't:

from brand new city by @minusboy:

”I wanted you,” Arthur says with a shaky exhale, lips pressed against warm skin, his hand firmly pressed over his heart, the gentle thump thump thump soothing the gaping wound across his chest. Alive. He’s alive. ”Just you.”

from alive and free (look at me!) by @zukkaoru:

Here, where Nikolai is hopelessly in love with two people who left him behind. Here, where Nikolai is both grieving and celebrating. Here, where Nikolai bleeds and laughs and cries and dies and lives again. Here, at the start of a moment. Here, at the top of the world.

from i won't let go of your hand by @starrynightarchive

always a bleeding heart, your fukuchi.

📦 choose one genre of fanfiction, the rest have to go!

hm. this. i read too many i cannot choose </3

🍄‍🟫 do you prefer canon or au?

like i said, i have too many aus to say canon. but i do like canon too, i just.. enjoy building aus a Lot

🐡 who / what inspired you to read / write / create?

ooh, this one is fun!! um, my inspiration a lot of the time comes from.. everything. other authors/writing, artists/art, music, irl situations, stuff i read.. there's never just one source of inspo i've ever drawn from.

📔 how do you deal with art block / writers block?

i try to switch from art to writing or the other way around.. or just try to wait it out, writing tidbits and doodling random stuff. sometimes i'll just try to read instead.

👞 do you prefer collabs or working independently?

working independently, generally, but i do heavily enjoy collaborating with the right people; this is part of why i love rping so much, actually :)

🥠 one thing you’d like to improve on in your writing / art?

hmm, i'll try to keep this to one thing.. for writing: describing clothing. for art: my style in general

when i was 12 i was obsessed with my singing monsters. to the point of i would look forward to school getting out just so i could open the game and check everything. neeeever spent money ive never spent money on mobile games, but it was my favorite thing for so long. then on one really late evening (midnight was really late for a 6th grader) i accidentally just fucking deleted the game. missclicked Uninstall and i was crying to my one online friend for an hour

i also didn't know what an email was until a year later so it wasn't connected to anything.. so sad

[cretaceous-if]

Are these dinos going to be feathered or not?

It honestly depends. Some of them will be completely covered in feathers and others will have more reptilian skin (tough and scaly).

Some dinosaurs might have both. The T-Rex is believed to be predominantly scaly, but have downy feathers running along its back. It’s also believed that their young were covered in these downy feathers.

Essentially, I’ll be trying to keep the dinosaurs in this as close to how we believe they look today as possible. Obviously, there are going to be disputes on how they looked, but I’ll be doing my best and may take some artistic license for the sake of not being stuck doing research for months.

After all, as Dr. Henry Wu said:

Fruit fly was raised by the side of a laten so he has a bit of a special bond with them, he's only ever seen a handful of other dinos around, a popo a laten, and his partner Kimchi. His patterns make him stick out in the woods, he prefers the deserts and woods, liking the coverage overhead of the trees and the warm sand on his big body.

Him and kimchis parenting styles are very different, fruit fly was very sad when his kids had to leave, he did his best to keep them all alive even if all of them stressed him out with their curiosity. He loves his scary wife so much. With his eldest son Ti he found him on his own and went to go show his wife what he found. Fruit fly absolutely adored being a father, and of course he needs more babies, but once the stress of the first bunch wears off.

He's gotten the hang of keeping his babies alive until they are old enough to go off on their own, and hopes to have many babies and grand babies to come, his lineage shall carry on for many generations... Or until something stops him, whichever comes first.

Now having had three successful nestings with Kimchi, this third clutch had a deaf baby! He's starting to grow a spine now with getting the babies to stop trying to kill each other, this clutch definitely gained their fighting spirit from Kimchi, and the only thing they inherited from fruit fly was his looks.

He's had four successful nest, six whole babies, and has nested throughout three seasons. Hopefully he has many more seasons ahead of him, though he is getting old.

Kimchi said he's not allowed to die for a long time.

he has lived a long happy life full of children. Of course, even fruit fly can't evade the hand of time as he ages by the day. Now officially three years old and still having children, he probably will only stop once time has catched up to him and he's died from old age.

Though, if kimchi dies before him he will mourn heavily and most likely die from heartbreak.

His bones are old, he will have his final clutch of eggs with kimchi, unless he somehow lives a little longer then maybe he will convince her to have just one more clutch. Until then, he's lived a long life with kimchi and hopes that she doesn't die before him.

Now having his sixth clutch full of girls, fruit fly feels he's ready to slow down and wander the land of broken fragments with kimchi. Somehow the impossible happened, fruit fly is now babied out!

As his colours fade he’s used up the last of his ink on his last few babies, who most were melanistic.

He now finally is beginning to wander without kimchi by his side, not that their partnership is dwindling, but the call to explore comes again and the desire to find a final place of resting is drawing near.

He wanders his way over to the wooded parts of broken fragments in search of a mods bed to lay on.

Before he passed a baby acro tried to seek shelter below him, it did not end well for the baby.

Having gone out in a glorified blaze he now rests up with the fragments, a piece of his soul going to a new titan. He lets toast, the first eldest to properly pass, to watch over this new piece of his soul.

Dino lore time

Back in elementary school, there was a rule that no one could talk during the last five minutes of lunch. It wasn’t a “kid did something and ruined it for everyone” rules. All of elementary school(mine was k-4) you couldn’t talk for the last five minutes of lunch or else you’d have to stand against the wall until the teacher came to pick up the class. We also had silent lunch in which we weren’t allowed to talk at all during lunch, or else face the same punishment listed above.

I bring this up because I remember at least a couple of times one of the people who accompanied us during lunch and recess had told us to be quiet (we used the 0-5 level system for volume so like a level 1) because she had an ear infection that made her hear things louder than they were. And every time I remember this, I remember how stupid of an excuse that is. Because all it takes is for a student to have one conversation with the adults their living with, especially if said adult works in healthcare, about an ear infection that makes you hear things louder for them to realize how hard you’re bullshitting them. Because it’s going to come up somehow. Whether the kid came home complaining they had to be quiet during lunch that day or said adult to ask how school was.

Even as an elementary schooler I was suspicious, because not only was I an elementary schooler, I was an elementary schooler with a pool at home.
