whats the most dinosaur-y sentai, and, if this has a different answer, what is the best dinosaur sentai?

hmm 🤔 well despite coming into toku through PR all those years ago i somehow have still not sat down and watched zyuranger, so i can't comment on that one. ryusoulger i like a whole bunch, but on a "dinosaur-y" level i think the added knight theming makes it lean more towards Fantasy than Dinosaur in my mind

so i would probably say kyoryuger is the Most dinosaur sentai, while abaranger is my personal pick for Best dinosaur sentai. kyoryu feels the most committed in portraying dinosaurs as the coolest things ever, but it's one of the sentai seasons i like the least. there's fun stuff in there, it's popular for a reason, but most of the cast plays second fiddle to daigo, and the way the girls were treated in particular was so frustrating to watch (on top of sakamoto's direction being at its most leering around the two teenage actresses)

on the other hand, abaranger was the first dino sentai i watched and is still one of my favorite seasons to this day. peak Bullshit Dino Sentai Revisionist History (the meteor that killed the dinosaurs actually split the world into Dino Earth and Another Earth.), and it takes some wild swings with the cast like red being a single dad and abare killer being a full time villain. a spanish-speaking parasaurolophus plays the piano at one point which is also quite good.

Clock's 2024 Mahoyaku Fic Rec & Review List

Here's some of the fics I've enjoyed this year. I've probably missed some but I'm going by bookmarks and memory. Most of them involves figaro. I've included some of my own fics in here cause I also enjoy reading them.

I've divided them by categories that makes sense to me. When I list a ship they're not divided by topping order.

I've highlighted the mood of each fic with colors. Mind, it's pretty subjective so I don't promise my mood is gonna be your mood or the writer's intended mood.

Kitashitei

scorched earth by erzi Relationship study on the kitashitei family dynamics. Made me feel unwell. I don't wanna reread it again cause I felt sick the first time. You should read it anyway.

Figaro/Oz

a chance meeting of strangers, and the end of the world unfolds by erzi For when you finished reading scorched earth and need some healing, read this one. It's a epistolary of correspondences between Figaro and Oz. The character voice is really great here and the limited pov is so charming. There's a lot of levity and a lot of heart. Truly an example of how what you don't see directly can complete the picture better. It ends on a very bittersweet note, so it's healing to me.

as confident as memory by acosmic there is a line by benothinged A Silent Landscape by Sacrifice I'm gonna put these three together, They're all childhood stories of figaoz and they all really have the je ne sais quoi... Childhood FigaOz has a lot of je ne sais quoi. A Silent Landscape in particular has a very haunting quality, while there is a line is quite bittersweet.

Faust/Figaro

from an ephemeral place by phuio Figafau roleswap... Faust being the teacher of Figaro. This work really explored their parallels as failed gods in a way that's far more transparent to the characters themselves than it is in canon. Also, little Figaro raised by Faust is an absolute delight and a menace. I would kill for him but I also wanna put him in my pocket. I'd say this is an exhilarating read but in the way of finishing the last puzzle piece and finally seeing the whole picture.

ripen, rot by phuio Figafau post MS2 relationship studies. Figaro visit the east and Faust visit the south. If I were to close my eyes and imagine the platonic archetype of a figafau fic this one would be it. It's just really fundamental to their character dynamic, which is like... Very soft and tender yet fraught with hopes and expectations and grief. The writing for this one is more slow simmering, good for people who likes atmospheric prose to chew on.

Sex Therapy by clockwork_spider Following Shylock's questionable advice, Faust ties Figaro to a bed and then left the room only to freak out at Shylock about it. Something that's both humorous and tugs at the heartstrings.

—

Faust/Figaro/Lennox

perpetual motion by strobelast (sacae) How the three of them becomes a throuple. This is a really good example of a character study that has a fairly low stake premise but also really digs into the core of the characters. Strobelast is good at that. Both humorous and pulls on the heartstring. Tender but fraught. To me, each pair within these three has their own dynamic, so it's very impressive to have them all on the same ground and give equal shine to each character and still have each dynamic within feel distinct. Honestly this fic has so much to chew on but it's also so light hearted. I can read it multiple times and not get tired.

Figaro & Mitile

Dead babies do not fuss by sonzorya I have read this fic so many times. The image of Figaro rocking extra fussy baby Mitile neurotically while having a mental breakdown from normal parenthood has permanently changed my brain chemistry. The characterization of this Figaro is very Northern! Which juxtapose with the domestic subject very well. Intense, concise, yet very down to earth.

—

Revgumi

A Firm Hand by clockwork_spider Figaro alters Alec's mind so he'd never doubt the wizards and stay friends with Faust forever. The mood I was going for for this one was devastation. But I've also been told it's quite cathartic to read.

—

Snow & White

snowhi divorce AU by clockwork_spider This is a two-parter where Snow was stopped from killing White. Instead they parted and Snow became a Western wizard. I'd say it's intense, full of love, and very cathartic to read.

—

Riquet Focus

eschaton by erzi A very satisfying Riquet focused case fic exploring his . There's a lot of where his arc is leading up to which canon will one day explore after his scene with Mitile in anni2.

Whumpy Guilty Pleasure

I thank these writers for my life, actually. I don't have a review for all these cause a lot of it is what it says on the tin. I like gratuitous torture porn and appreciate anyone who's willing to feed me. Occasionally i'm able to return the favor. There's some explicit descriptions in my review so just consider yourself warned.

The lower this list goes the more explicit it gets.

Buried in the Snow by UnparalleledFocus Figaro gets trapped in snow and has flashbacks to his home town. Really quite soft!

Give and Take by Enkido White invites Snow for tea and feeds him rat poison. This was written specifically for me, I feel. Very sweet and tender and sad.

Maybe we'll be okay by Enkido 100 years later, Northern wizard Mitile fights against Figaro and rips into Figaro's memories. Very satisfying. Mitile rips out Figaro's vocal cord with his teeth at some point. Actually very sweet and tender.

To drown by clockwork_spider Figaro gets waterboarded by the twins. This one actually have more aftermath/comfort than torture. Comfort that's the opposite of comforting really does it for me.

A Feast by clockwork_spider Isaac/Figaro cannibalism. Very horny but in a sad way.

Drag it Out of Him by Zerotaste Figaro and the twins torture Bradley. There's this one part where Figaro dislocates Bradley's shoulders and then slash his leg tendons so he could neither hang from his arms or try to stand... Really that's such a masterful bit I think about it in trying times. Overall this fic's a bit more on the descriptive/physical side, which I'm not actually super into. But if you're someone who wanna read all the details in a torture scene this is really good.

Dazed and confused by tamaorin_shadow Noncon Mob/Bradley So this one's in CN and I don't have the fortitude to translate it fully, but I do reread it sometimes. The premise is that the twins seals Bradley's magic and hands him to human authorities, who assaults him. It's very violent. Includes genital mutilation. Great shock value. I'm a bit obsessed.

Annnd I'll leave it at that for now. A lot of these writers have a pretty good repertoire and if you liked any fics here I really recommend just browsing through their stuff and filtering by your fav. (*cough* I wrote like 30 fics last year. *cough*)

If you'd like to add to this list, feel free to just add in the reblog. Or better yet, make your own!

If you see your fic in here and would like me to take it out for any reason just reach out to me and I'll do it. Thanks!

i was in the blade tag and saw an ask from your blog about transfem tachibana which. Never occurred to me but now that i think about it is really really good. but one of your tags was "kenzaki. well." and i would love to know the context. is it just that hes in love with a bug. or do you have more commentary on that

Oh i just meant that for me kenzaki is a trans guy! I started writing him like that and i guess it stuck because i really like it...growing up bouncing around distant relatives and foster homes...who's gonna notice that the kid you thought was a girl is a boy....

idk his insistence on never deadnaming hajime spoke to me lmao

ALSO YES TGIRL TACHIBANA. please help and feed my big tall sad girlfriend she is so sad
