📷 Trix vs Stan! Come and admire the two T. rexes currently exhibited @rbins. 🦖 🦖

In the first two pictures is the 3D-printed version of Trix, the specimen of our Dutch friends of Naturalis in Leiden. In the last two pics you see our cast of Stan.

Both of them:

- were top predators during the very last part of the Upper Cretaceous period, the last chapter in the book of dinosaurs (avian dinosaurs as current birds have written a nice sequel! 😊)

- were excavated in the Hell Creek Formation of North America: Trix near Jordan in Montana 📍, Stan near Buffalo in South Dakota 📍 (a 4 hour drive from each other).

- were prepared by the Black Hills Institute in Hill City, South Dakota

- are among the most complete 🧩 of some thirty T. rex specimens known today

- have healed bite marks and wounds 🩸 probably caused by other T. rexes

- had 50 to 60 teeth, some as big as bananas 🍌. They are robust and serrated allowing T. rex to bite through flesh and bone. The teeth were replaced throughout their lives.

- had well-developed senses: 👃 olfactory lobes almost as large as their brain, a highly developed inner ear 👂 that could perceive low frequency sounds, and small eyes 👁️ located towards the front of the skull (like we have) which demonstrates stereoscopic, 3D vision.

They also differ:

- Trix is seen as a female, Stan as a male, although palaeontologists are still debating…

- Trix is a bit longer and higher than Stan 📏: 12.5 m vs 11.7 m; 4 m vs 3.64 m

- Both were old when they died, but Trix is the oldest T. rex so far: more than 30 years of age

- Trix is estimated to be at least 67 million years old, Stan 66 million.

- Stan was named after its finder: amateur palaeontologist Stan Sacrison, who discovered the first of Stan's bone fragments. Trix is both an allusion to "T-rex" and to former Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands: so Trix is the Queen of the Cretaceous! 👑

- Stan has had more admirers so far as he is all over the world: it’s the most duplicated T. rex fossil.

- Trix is publicly available for research, Stan for the moment is not. The original specimen was auctioned and sold for 💲31.8 million dollars to an anonymous private buyer in 2020, making it the most expensive fossil ever sold. Its future as a study object and museum exhibit is uncertain at this moment.

☽ 𝟭𝟵.𝟭𝟯𝟴𝟱° 𝗦, 𝟭𝟰𝟲.𝟴𝟯𝟯𝟵° 𝗘 → 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐈𝐈. 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐊 𝐌𝐎𝐎𝐍 ! 📍 𝗠𝗔𝗚𝗡𝗘𝗧𝗜𝗖 𝗜𝗦𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗗, 𝗤𝗟𝗗, 𝗔𝗨𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗔

𝐀 𝐃𝐄𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐓 — 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐈𝐌𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐀𝐋 𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐈𝐃𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐑𝐒.

since the late 1700s we have known the april full moon as the pink moon, as listed in the old farmer’s almanac. named for the early springtime blooms of a certain wildflower native to eastern north america, the creeping phlox or moss phlox, which also went by the name moss pink. many indigenous peoples and tribes of eastern north america know this moon by other names, such as breaking ice moon by the algonquin people of eastern canada, or budding moon of plants and shrubs, as called by the tlingit; indigenous peoples of the pacific northwest north america — or, by the anishinaabeg; sucker moon, which bespeaks part of the legend of the sucker fish returning from the spirit world to purify bodies of water and the creatures living in them.

— you can spy it on the horizon on the evening of 16TH OF APRIL, 2021 !!

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐃𝐎𝐄𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐌𝐄𝐀𝐍?

while your mortal muse might notice and enjoy the visual spectacle, by and large unless they are working or studying or have a particular hobby that involves astronomy, astrology, planetary bodies, etc. — this event will only really impact the immortal inside your muse.

𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐊 𝐌𝐎𝐎𝐍 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐋𝐔𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐃𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐋𝐘 : any deities who have lore surrounding the moon and also those who are linked to the stars or planetary bodies, deities connected to spring, growth, flowers, etc., deities who have an affinity for the night time, sea deities due to lunar influence on the tides. 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐋𝐔𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄, 𝐁𝐔𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐀 𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐑 𝐃𝐄𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐄 : deities connected specifically to the sun itself, deities who are expressly linked to the other three seasons as this is a springtime moon.

— all powers, abilities and traits are individually muse & deity dependent ! these are for inspiration and example, take your own spin on it where possible.

𝐏𝐎𝐖𝐄𝐑𝐒 : sustained periods of maintaining a tangible connection with the deity, longer periods of accessing ability (eg; breathing under water longer, climbing faster), clarity to vision, perception or sight abilities (eg; seeing future, visions, the dead, intention, etc.), brief flashes of past lives or even of their lives as immortals, temporary and minor physiological changes in the body specifically to do with eye hues and temperature of the skin, and any sort of power trait may be clarified or amplified to a degree. 𝐋𝐈𝐌𝐈𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 : you cannot continuously access powers as the mortal body can’t handle it at this stage; the powers accessed will be intermittent. no ones powers cancel out the others but your powers may be mitigated to a degree by another deities only if the two deities are canonly opposites (such as damiona äte and the group of daimones known as the litae, use theoi to check!). all powers and traits must be relative to the deity, you cannot sustain the strength to fight anyone with powers or traits, the only exception would be cases with deities explicitly ‘fighters’, such as hercules or perses, and these would be brief experiences no longer than a minute. only deities explicitly related to sources of light may experience any sort of very minor ‘glow.’

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐊𝐄𝐍𝐃 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐁𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆...

𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐃𝐀𝐘 : a waxing gibbous moon, the day before the full pink moon. for the last few days your muse may have been feeling antsy, distracted, overwhelmed, having minor flickers of their power catching them off guard, feeling confused, having restless or very deep sleep, or even feeling weirdly powerful... it depends on your muse. by friday it would have boiled up to its crescendo, whatever that may look like for your muse.

— ☽ 𝐒𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐃𝐀𝐘 ! : a full moon, the night of the pink moon. tonight is the night, from the moment the full moon is visible in the sky, the second those beams of light reach your muses skin, they will experience a weakness in the barrier between the mortal and immortal. what they experience, and how intense this connection is, is up to what your muse has already laid out in the application and biography, and will also fluctuate in strength depending on proximity to the right environment (sea deities; ocean, nymphs to their native spaces, night time deities when the sun has set, etc.), as well as potentially interacting with deities that your muse knows from their immortal life (check canon related deities page!), or being around their sacred planet or animal. they may be drawn to places where their power is strongest, they may tap into power traits they haven’t yet understood or experienced. all of this will be muse and deity dependent!

��𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐘 : a waning gibbous moon, the day after the pink full moon. now your muse would feel a potential inverse of anything they felt before; if your muse slept soundly they may now find sleep difficult, if they felt powerful they may now experience a feeling of vulnerability, powerlessness or maybe just a neutral kind of emptiness. whatever flashes of power that were building up prior to the full moon would now disappear. note that; most, if not all, muses accessing powers will experience a level of tiredness and fatigue, relative to powers used, how long and to what degree. if your deity was especially influenced by the moon they will have a kind of cool-off period where they will actually not experience any sort of power traits... this will last for about a week in game. if thats the case, perhaps use this to explore the in game knowledge of how in tune or aware your muse is of their powers.

𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐓: 𝐎𝐎𝐂 𝐃𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐒 & 𝐑𝐔𝐋𝐄𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑 𝐂𝐔𝐓.

have fun and make sure you plot for the event !

— 𝐎𝐎𝐂 𝐑𝐔𝐋𝐄𝐒 : the only powers available to you are the ones you have previously selected and explained, you may not add or change your muses abilities without admin clearance so please ask questions if you are confused, you know we love to help! you may not ‘come across’ anyone using their powers unless you have plotted this with the other mun, and inversely, we ask that you do not post an open starter with another muse ‘stumbling across’ your muse using any sort of powers; keep those for plotted closed starters only. of course, you must pre-plot any muse using or displaying their powers on another, aka. no power god-modding, and lastly remember that no deities powers are nessicarily stronger than another's (regardless of the pantheons hierarchy) as all the immortals are trapped inside mortal bodies and limited by that... BUT you may have a certain and slight advantage depending on the context: such as environment, sacred plant or animal proximity, or the time of the day.

keep in mind : while this is happening your mortal muse will be dealing with this also, and the more powers accessed and used may indeed cause physical, mental and emotional fatigue in the mortal themselves. they will not lose touch with reality, this is a merging of the two beings, mortal and immortal, not a case of one forcing out the other ! their reaction will depend on how you have established their understanding of their immortal reincarnation.

— 𝐎𝐎𝐂 𝐃𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐒 :

all threads, in game, take place over the weekend of FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY — april 15th - april 17th, as this is the peak of the pink moon.

ooc, on dash, this event will begin at 8:30 am EST / 12:30 pm GMT on SATURDAY, april 16th until 7 pm EST / 11:00pm GMT on SUNDAY, april 24th.

event starters, closer or open, may be posted within this time under the hashtag #eternal! eventstarter and all event threads should be tagged with #eternal! pinkmoon

once the event ends on april 24th, event starters are not allowed anymore and we will post a note in the starter blog for you. however, you may continue with your event threads as long as you’d like, and you are welcome to post any headcanon summaries of the event as well !

🇻🇮🗽🌿Green Peace ✌🏾

“From this moment on, America’s decline is over,”

🇺🇸 Overview of Trump's Inaugural Speech

On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump, during his second inauguration, declared the day as **"liberation day"** for the United States.

🗝️ Key Themes of the Speech

📌**Rejection of the Previous Administration**:

- Trump **roundly repudiated** the Biden administration's legacy, referring to it as part of a **"radical and corrupt establishment."** He emphasized a desire to initiate a **"revolution of common sense"** in governance.

📍 **Vision for America**:

- The president painted a **grim portrait** of the current state of the country but promised a return to **global dominance** and a new era of prosperity. He stated, **"From this moment on, America’s decline is over,"** indicating a strong commitment to reversing what he perceives as negative trends.

🦋❄️’Find Out❄️🦋

📌 **Length & Engagement**:

- Notably, Trump's inaugural address was nearly **double the length** of his 2017 speech, reflecting a more extensive engagement with the audience. Following the speech, he held an **impromptu Oval Office news conference**, where he answered more questions than Biden likely did in a single setting.

🦋Retreat: 👩🏽‍💻 Zoom: 🧑🏾‍💼Person

Trump's inaugural day was marked by a series of speeches and public engagements, culminating in festivities that included a performance by rapper Nelly. His rhetoric set a tone of defiance against the previous administration while promising significant changes in policy and direction for the country.
