writing about your favourite character's childhood is all fun and games until you have to come up with a timeline-appropriate Plausible But Incorrect Dinosaur Fact for a 7-year-old to be Confidently Wrong About in 1997

#newt is trying So Hard not to correct this kid (it doesnt work)#unfortunately the fact does actually have to be like. widely-circulated misinformation. otherwise id just make up something stupid lol #the problem is i was going to have newt be like 'brontosaurus isn't actually a dinosaur. you mean apatosaurus'#but as of 2015 it's been reclassified apparently. which would make him Retroactively Wrong #which would be FINE except in this series it accidentally sets up implications i don't like #don't want ''science later proves trans kid wrong about something they were certain about'' in there AT ALL #even if no one else would read into it. it would bother me #he can be wrong about things in other fics that arent specifically about his gender identity #do i have to dig out my old dinosaur books. i think im going to have to dig out my old dinosaur books tomorrow #uuuuughh #unscientific aside #tin kitchen in the garret
