I don’t think this is unique to sharks tbh. I appreciate the sentiment but that’s how taste works in general

In that fic, I really wanted to emphasize he’s a dork that cherishes things given to him, that rock included, Ig I really hit close to home without realizing lol.

🐦 Please :D

Your Politeness is Appreciated :D

[romigodon]

@a-dinosaur-a-day I read the paper when I woke up this morning and it sheds some light on the issues you stated before. It states that the scales found in the HMNS specimen do not match up with the type of scales found on birds today. It even brings up that perhaps modern bird's scales are a result of activities like wading or perching and the two aren't homologous. It's an interesting paper but I feel as if it doesn't actually prove anything. It certainly helps with a more accurate reconstruction of the top of the neck area but the work done on the tail and lower neck, as previously mentioned, wouldn't nessicitate the need for changing current depictions. I feel that until more accurate studies are done, this should remain at the back of our minds and not be hailed as definitive.

Featured reviews

4/5 Dino eggs

as a long time Dinophile and autodidact, the emergence of Jurassic world and its reborn dinosaurs has long held only the utmost of fascination as a field of academic inquiry for me. Without hesitation I purchased the Hammond package to inspect these resurrected anachronistic animal anomalies. I was delighted through and through by their appearance, and the presence of Jurassic era vermiform plant life only added to that acclaim. my only regret is that Hammond et al. had to cut corners with the amphibian DNA viz-a-viz hybridization. you don't need to be a birder to know that dinosaurs were feathered.

5/5

My son mason has always loved dinosaurs. more than trucks, more than soccer, more than video games. It was the dream of a lifetime to send him to the park walking footsteps of literal dinosaurs and giants in the field of paleontology. this was the perfect tour package for him--any other school trip is just a "paleo" imitation.

For those of you in Western Florida right now, please be aware of your surroundings. If you are in a mandatory evacuation zone, you need to leave. Full stop. This storm has the very real capacity of killing you. Coming from a hurricane victim, get out. Now. The water and wind are coming regardless of where you are and hanging out in 180+ MPH winds & a 20+ foot storm surge is going to be unsurvivable for many people who are trapped in it.

If you are still on the fence about this, the fence is about to be blown down and washed away. Leave while it is still possible.

Fav voltage games and any guys similar to you???

thanks for the ask!

[5] favourite games:

1. Her Love in the Force: because i’m So Predictable. honestly i feel this game is one of the strongest overall. the writing is incredible, the mix of drama and romance and action is perfect, the plots are always so interesting. i sometimes play other games and then kind of put it down before i’m finished with a route but with HLITF, i have to finish the whole route ASAP because i love the feeling of investigating and uncovering the plot in addition to the developing romantic relationship. also all the love interests are really top notch, and you really get to see the mc’s development into an incredible detective. can’t go wrong with this game at all. i recommend it wholeheartedly to everyone.

2. Dreamy Days in West Tokyo: this game makes me feel nostalgic for a high school experience i never even had. this is voltage’s sweetest game of all time (i say that but i actually never played class trip crush or any of the other school life ones lmao). if you love school life shoujo manga and osananajimi romances that you actually get to see develop all the way to marriage, this is the game for you. the reason that it’s one of my faves is that it’s actually surprisingly quite full of drama and anguish as well and i found a lot of the conflict in the relationships really quite relatable. i also love the camaraderie between the whole friend group :)

3. Be My Princess: a true classic. this is one of the first voltage games i ever played. i totally understand why it had to come to an end but how i wish there was more BMP content. give us butler routes voltage you cowards!!!!! BUM is not the same!!!! anyway wow this was back when princesses were the trend for MCs and now i guess everyone is just raring for action MCs. i miss Average Girl MCs - anyone else? i’d love to see more political drama in BMP too… i’m also especially nostalgic for this game because the OG voltage tumblr crew were so much fun

4. Kiss of Revenge: such a good game that i wish they continued. this is when i feel like voltage was peaking with their more mature games and MCs. the only good and valid Dr. MC, RMD MC needs to learn from her. this is another game where i wish there were more content. i love that the MC is the focal point of the drama rather than the love interests. although i do suppose it is a game where the premise only really allows for limited content…

5: A Knight’s Devotion/My Sweet Bodyguard: AKD is just MSB in medieval times. i couldn’t decide between the two because the premise is basically the same and AKD is just the ‘less content’ version of the two. i do still really like the bodyguard/knight falling in love with his mistress trope, and i don’t really mind that the MC is kinda weak physically. people always slag her off for just like panicking when she’s in precarious situations but unless you’re a seasoned fighter, you would panic in real life too, don’t lie. there are different types of strengths and i feel like the AKD/MSB MCs demonstrate the type of tolerance and understanding that really complements their LIs. also i’m forever grateful for MSB for giving us the greatest spinoff app of all time, HLITF. 

6. BONUS it’s not an otome game but Voltage released this game 生存率0%! 地下鉄からの脱出 which is a VN horror survival type game? I’ve been wanting it since I saw the trailer in 2013. 

[5] guys similar to your personality:

all the tsunderes lol. no but for real

1. Ayumu Shinonome: this is strange because i love him so much as a LI haha. but in actuality, we’re pretty similar. i’m pretty bad at expressing my feelings for people even if i feel them so strongly and i kind of send out hints here and there and expect my SO to get them (and he gets it just enough for me to feel like this a viable form of communication lol). in general i’m the type of person who often does things without explaining myself and internalise everything when i’m annoyed. i did one of those stupid facebook meme generator things about myself and it came up with this which is so accurate i hate it

i’m also the type to put a lot of value on toiletries/cosmetics lol, i’ll spend an hour hovering around the chemist/drugstore and i’ll do SO much research before buying new makeup/skincare/haircare etc. ayumu and i share a motto which is “要靚唔要命” (fashion > comfort/life lmao)

i also take my teaching pretty seriously (although… i would never ever date a student) like literally i’ll have to get up at 7am to teach a 9am seminar and then i’ll still be up at 4am thinking of activities to try to get them to practice applying a certain theory or adjusting the wording of my questions to get them to understand something better. i love peach tea and i used to get it from the vending machine every day when i was in school lmao and i was not gonna reveal this for fear of seeming lame but i’m just gonna admit that i also have a dinosaur phone case hahahaha although i got it just cause it was cute and not cause i’m a dinophile. anyway the big difference between us though is that ayumu is a genius while i am made up of Dumbass Juice

2. Toru Kurosawa: i’m loathe to admit it but i’m also kinda similar to this….. freaking……. guy…….. cause he’s kinda cheerful and sometimes a bit of a chatterbox on the surface but also kinda… two-faced?? which, same. i don’t really take things seriously unless it’s actually a big deal to me and then i’m like SUPER serious about it. also my friends probably all find me super annoying l m a o there was a time in my life where i would spam my close friend circle group chat and everyone would just ignore me 

another similarity is that we tend to push people away when we have personal issues to deal with. i always try to sort my own shit out before involving anyone else even if the situation involves them (but this also means that even if something is not my fault i’ll find a way to rationalise that it is my own fault and then accept it as my own problem and the other person will get off scot free)

3. Rihito Hatsune: oh? what’s that? another Bad Personality Guy? i think i’ve toned this down a fair bit from before but i can actually be pretty manipulative with guys and instead of being up front and direct, i’ll just do and say things that will get me the response that i want (lol the recurring theme here is that i’m a terrible person and bad communicator. @ my boyfriend, thank you for putting up with me for 4 years lol). i’m also a classically trained musician (but stopped just short of applying to conservatory for musical performance when i did my uni applications back in the day cause i suck at theory)

4. Mizuki Fujisaki: beyond all my two-facedness, bad interpersonal communication skills and other general negative personality traits, i think mizuki and i are similar in that we share the same airheadedness. like i think we both share a brainwave and that brainwave is only accessible in outer space. in mizuki, it’s cute. in me, it’s… ADHD maybe…??? who knows. 

5. Glenn Casiraghi: it’s hard to find 5 different guys who are similar to me lol. i guess i would go with glenn because he has a complex about his age (i too have always been the youngest in my cohort - family, friends, schoolmates, etc. and i have such an inferiority complex about it lol) and he can be kinda spoilt but also pretty responsible when he has to be

10 khám phá hay ho nhất về khủng long (part 5): Người họ hàng mang tên "Thần chết" của T. rex

Tyrannosaurus có một họ hàng vừa được tìm thấy và sở hữu một cái tên đáng sợ – “thần chết”, đến từ nơi ngày nay là tỉnh Alberta, Canada. Con quái vật có niên đại 75 triệu năm này (Thanatotheristes degrootorum, được đặt theo tên thần chết Thanatos trong thần thoại Hy Lạp) là loài cổ nhất được xếp vào họ khủng long bạo chúa được ghi nhận tại Bắc Mỹ.

Nó cũng là loài thuộc họ khủng long bạo chúa được định danh mới đầu tiên tại Canada trong 50 năm (Chúc mừng đầu cầu Canada!). “Chắc chắn đây là một con vật khá hoành tráng, có hông cao gần 2,4 mét,” Jared Voris, một nghiên cứu sinh tiến sĩ ngành cổ sinh vật học tại Đại học Calgary ở Alberta và là trưởng nhóm của nghiên cứu trên nói với Live Science vào tháng Hai năm 2020.

Gã “thần chết” này có những đường gờ thẳng đứng đặc biệt chạy dọc từ mắt đến chóp mũi trên. Các nhà khoa học không biết tại sao các loài ăn thịt lại có những đường gờ như vậy, nhưng nếu bạn là con mồi của nó, đó có thể là thứ cuối cùng bạn thấy trước khi bị con vật này ăn tươi nuốt sống.

dinophile replied to your photo “Why do these Creationists come to the damn museums how big is the rock...”

I went to a very christian middle school and my science teacher refused to pass me for the second semester because I wouldn't write down that evolution was wrong as an answer on my final exam.

I am proud of you

THE BIG BOOK OF GIANT DINOSAURS AND THE SMALL BOOK OF TINY DINOSAURS

Each part of this Italian import features 18 spread-filling dinosaurs in side views, tricked out by Cosanti in loud, saturated colors or patterns and posed for scale with a remarkably calm white chicken against the same tropical backdrop. The effect is a bit surreal, as the dinos and the prehistoric foliage have the thick, rounded look and fuzzy surfaces of stuffed toys, but the weight and bulk of the looming creatures in the superoversized volume—and the lithe grace of most of their often feathered smaller relatives in the diminutive one—do come through vividly enough to make strong impressions on viewers. Each portrait comes with an identifying label and a descriptive comment. Along with being admittedly speculative, several of the latter are afflicted with translation issues. Still, even expert dinophiles are likely to find mixed in with the usual suspects a surprising number of unfamiliar species, such as Magnapaulia, Therizinosaurus, and Parvicursor. In like packaging, The Big Book of Giant Sea Creatures and the Small Book of Tiny Sea Creatures portrays in the two parts 36 brightly hued, often exotic saltwater denizens, from the ½-inch anemone shrimp to 110-foot blue whale and 130-foot giant siphonophore. An intrepid clownfish (sometimes, understandably, hard to spot) provides a sense of scale in each portrait, and accompanying comments offer notes on sizes, habitats, and like helpful points.
