AVIENATOR (Ground/Dragon)

The sixth and last fo the hybrid fossils, obtained from mixing the Avian and Reptilian samples you get from PALEOLITO

It is based on Dromeosaurs, with its long snout inspired by Austroraptor Cabazai

do you think some large bolosaurids could have filled the niche of dromeosaurids in the Permian?

I doubt this, bolosaurs, as far as we know, were high fiber herbivores and were nested within a larger group of exclusively herbivorous animals.

Animals like Eudibamus were probably the gazelles and rabbits of their ecosystems.

Hey, so I just wanted to write this here in case anybody is interested. But the idea came to mind about terms that people might be interested. (o≧▽≦)ﾉ

Therianthrope as we all know means "someone who identifies as non-human animal". Whilst otherkin is a broader term that includes non-human beings, creatures and animals.

Therianthrope is also a seperate term that originally means a person who can transform into an animal. Which has always been a bit bizare to me, and misleading to those who don't know our definition of it (community wise).

Preexisting terms i obviously didnt come up with myself are;

- Paleotherian : those who identify as prehistoric species of animals.

- Theriomythic : those who identify as mythical creatures and animals.

I came up with Arthrotherian, or even Arthrothrope, meaning someone who identifies as an animal that falls under the arthropod biological classification.

Others I thought of, for the fun of it, (keep in mind this isnt a big thing im trying to create. It's truly just all for fun), are;

- Avianthrope : Those who identify as avian animal species like birds.

- Aquarianthrope : Those who identify as aquatic species like fish, marine mammals, eels, jellyfish, squids, etc.

- Mammalianthrope : Those who identify as mammalian animal species.

If you wonder why I don't specify as small as felidaethrope or canidae, its just cause it would be like saying catkin or dogkin. Altho still easy to use. I mean, thrope imo is nicer sounding than kin (っ－＿－)っ

Anyways this is in no way intended to be all that serious. Just fun thoughts i wanted to share. I consider myself a cat therianthrope and centipede arthrotherian! And often question being a dromeosaurid paleotherian. Words are fun to use to identify ourselves. Although i often say its never necessary. Just exist.

Nevertheless... its fun! So.. σ(o・ω・o)

While looking on Tumblr this morning, I found an interesting post that had an article about the dinosaur above, Dromaeosauriformipes rarus. It was a South Korean dromeosaurid the size of a sparrow, that based on fossilized tracks, it is believed by scientists to have used a movement called flap running. When Dromaeosauriformipes rarus used flap running, they used their winglike arms to somewhat fly for a short period of time, allowing it to have long strides that were faster than regularly walking or running.

This was very interesting to me, and I thought I’d try making an art piece of it, but I think I could’ve done better. Some of the things that needed improvement to me included a better sense of ground in terms of foreground and background for the dinosaur to be flap running on, and besides some of the anatomy being wrong, I think the colors could’ve used the most improvement.

But, here’s a neat little piece of artwork, hope you enjoy.

ok fine. vortian leg tutorial

text under cut:

human leg + bones

vortian leg + bones

its one really long foot people!!!!!

they can only move and bend as much as a human leg can, maybe even less, since digitigrade animals usually cant make their legs completely straight

i like to give it an extra hinge here, where the toes would bend, to add movement, but you could make it stiff if you want. or even an extra one to make it unguligrade!

yes drawing them from the front is a little difficult, but it just needs some knowledge of perspective

i know this is how the show draws them, but if youre not going for more extreme stylization, dont do this for a standing vortian. its uncomfortable and unbalanced. theyre gonna fall over!!!

center of balance is key. youll just kind of have to get a feel for what looks balanced and what doesnt

also this is really nitpicky but these two bones are the same length! in animals the lower leg is usually the same length or longer. think of humans people

did you know that a longer lower leg is usually found in speedier animals, like dromeosaurids? i just thought that was interesting

Please don’t send me donation asks. They won’t get posted here. I’m really sorry, but I want you to know that your time is better spent with someone else.

(post features potentially triggering and general uncomfortable content under the manifesto section)

I might sometimes post musings about sexual ideas and i will be horny on main sometimes, but i will always tag it properly. i also have exclusive tag “#gold goes crazy on main” that you can blacklist if you dont wanna blacklist the more general tags for your own reasons. i also have an NSFW Tumblr account under the name veganvore (i just think the name is funny, sorry vegan vorers). i will block accounts that do not state that they are an adult over there, which reminder, will also prevent me from seeing your stuff

I try to tag for commonly triggering content but i sometimes forget for stuff like bugs because i simply dont find them scary or upsetting. if you really cant handle seeing a bug at any capacity then my blog probably isnt for you. I consider bugs in less scientific context to be all of pancrustacea, but i tag spiders separately because some people fear them uniquely, and i do not tend to tag for crustaceans such as shrimp or crabs because discomfort around those is less common. I tag very plainly; I do not use cw or tw, I just flat out tag the thing as itself. i also try to tag for all animal death and dead animals, including bugs and fish (which are tagged separately because i know not everyone reacts to dead bugs or fish the same as mammals or birds or reptiles)

If your dni has an identity that i identify with on there then know i am not not interacting with you out of respect, i am not interacting with you because you are a fucking asswipe. Be a better person. People who believe they know more about me than me, or use trauma as an excuse to be bigoted and stay bigoted, do not have my respect.

Liberal blocker

intro post for NERDS!

im gold just call me gold. Or, my other names include tank and any model/(appropriate. none of the bigoted ones) nickname of tank, plane, or nuclear bomb (aside from fat man or little boy or enola gay for hopefully obvious reasons). i will respond best if it is very clearly directed at me or is one of my favorite vehicles/bombs: tsar bomba, kv-1, molodets, locust, chaffee, whatever whatever

my pronouns are he/him (normal caps), He/Him, and HE/HIM. i stole pronouns from god and HIM from the powerpuff girls

trans and gay full of autism adhd yum

im a shapeshifter otherkin. I am othervague for all these things (swings between kin, hearted, and link): birds, machines, and ‘pedes (millipedes and centipedes). am werebear; this is not a physical identity, i just much prefer to use the “were” term for it rather than otherkin, as it feels much more correct. But really, i can be anything. i have experienced a whole range of nonhuman stuff, cuz shapeshifter. if i post in a more specific tag know i am not attempting to like… invade, or anything. i mean for one i think thats stupid and for another i do actually be feeling that way

Russia place/countrykin. not a putin supporter or even a nationalist; Слава Україна. more connected to the land and its “memories” than anything else. if this confuses you please read my post: Nationalists do not love their country

i am plural. im fuckitgenic. you dont get to know how traumatized or not i am, cuz i dont even fucking know either. I don’t even think it’s that relevant. I am because i am, we are because we are, trying to look back into this life to see why it turned out this way is, in our opinion, just not fucking worth our time.

You probably wont see my headmates here as they struggle to form words for outside use, but you still might.

headmates you might see include:

The Eagle (he is a bald eagle)

The Nothing Beast (a big jet black dromeosaurid-like monster with back spines. actually quite nice. speaks in all caps)

Sputnik-1 (introject of the satellite). Profile is @satellite-one!

Bear (a spirit bear. might come off a bit mean. Bear is often just trying to protect us, but Bear also struggles with friendly or respectful communication)

Bat (We don’t know much about him. he hides away a lot)

Alan @amcomputer

if you start complaining about “uehhh but i have to know if youre traumatized to know how valid you are!!!” im going to skewer you like a shrike. we do not take kindly to prescriptive labeling.

i am posic (Perception of Object Sentience, Individuality, and Consciousness). I don’t believe objects speak to me and i dont believe they are externally alive, but i feel like they should be. it happens especially with military vehicles and nuclear missiles. when i look at them i feel a similar sense of life i feel when i look at an animal. is it weird? Oh yeah. It is. i have thought about this a lot and i can expand on it in another post if wanted.

im also objectum and conceptum tbe american flag is my boyfriend im sorry… I hate the government and i hate borders and i understand it would be better for countries to not have influence over material reality and all that shit (i am an anarchist. winning) but countries as a concept beyond reality are really important to me please understand. nationalists hate him (me) actually

#galaxies of valleirkro - My spore stuff. Many permutations. Species will be tagged #valleirkro (species name), for example #Valleirkro Zoxun. Characters will be tagged their full name, such as #ikli-kit keletet.

#M.A.D. or Mutually Assured Destruction - Sentient country stuff that got out of hand and now is basically sci fi alternate history about learning to love each other and rise up against the powerful people and ideas keeping us apart. Characters will be tagged #M.A.D. (character name), as they only have a single peopley name. For example, #M.A.D. Maximilian. I do not tag them as the countries they are if I have a name for them, mostly because I don't want confusion when speaking of them in the same breath as the actual country. if you want to know which is which, do not be afraid to ask - i usually try to choose names that are of cultures and languages in the country, but I know not everyone is familiar with other languages, and many names are found across multiple cultures. Curious about what the fuck the ‘canon’ i keep talking about is or why not all characters seem to act in a way you’d expect? read this post.

#gold's Starmen - Characters that can traverse the multiverse. Characters are mostly of the species Arvien; flat-faced bird people (yes made out of a desire to try to get away from the country stuff. i know yes, it did not work. but now i have a whole new world so it's cool). Species get tagged as #Starmen (species), for example #Starmen Arvien. Characters get tagged their full name, for example #Zakul Kuzarus. Sometimes exceptions are made for characters that do not have a "full" name. They instead have their species name after their name, like in #Ihsek Xek.

manifesto (sort of like a dni + its opposite but i actually explain things to ease my anxiety and autism) if you dont wanna read this thats fine but dont be surprised when i say something you dont like lol

Almost anyone is welcome here. But if you believe that you know more than other people do about their own identity then go away. Disgusting shit. Begone

that being said you cannot change your race. racial emotional limbo should only belong to people who are mixed race. You can find ways to participate in another culture without being the race often associated with it. many people would be much happier to show you their culture if you weren’t trying to identify as the race associated with it. Begone

I cant believe this is something that needs to be said anywhere but if you are an apologist for imperialism, capitalism, or authoritarianism, or are otherwise a supporter of any of this shit, fuck you. USSR, Russia, USA, China, Israel, Nazism, whatever i dont care. they all suck and you shouldnt be trying to blanket excuse them. Begone

go away if you indulge in zoophilic or pedophilic content. hope it’s obvious why. indulging in lusting after real ass living beings who cannot consent is fucking weird as shit. Begone

transage is fine. its not about pedophilia, that is a 4chan smear campaign cuz they thought it was fucking weird. it is about age regression and trauma and that kinda shit, idk, just read up on chronosian identity or something if you want. Also the things we associate with certain ages are more often than not socially constructed and so like idk, fuckin whatever dude. Begone

if you think age regression is bad then you do not know what it is. it is also not pedophilic in nature, it is often about comfort and often is a trauma or anxiety response. Please research and talk to real people before assuming something is bad just cuz it sounds weird. Begone

mspec lesbians are cool. “contradictory” labels are cool. my (real physical person) boyfriend is every letter of the queer alphabet and every person who hates a contradictory label will face our combined wrath. Begone

medicalism die begone. scientists do not know everything and often even science itself goes against “medicalist” beliefs. Minds are actually super crazy and weird and science understands this. If you are happier, or more at peace, and more able to understand and work with yourself because of a label and the support that comes with it then it is a good one.

^ includes “not supporting” endogenic systems by the way. Begone

creating headmates is fine (i think most of my headmates were accidentally created) but tulpa terminology is based upon a pretty heavy series of cultural appropriations of Buddhism (have you ever heard of “chakras are connected to your organs”? yeah. thats not true. thats a western idea that comes from the kinda colonial concept that we can force an eastern religion into the originally western conception of science as almighty truth that everything must tie to to be considered real by anybody, and the western idea of tulpas are mainly from this version of buddhism). Asian religions and cultural practices are already a really big target for western cultural appropriation, maybe we shouldn’t add to that, okay? i mean i wont tell you to go away like i have for the others here. and i actually wont tell you that its absolutely not okay because this is a pretty complex little cranny of reality. but i do ask you to perhaps be a little more conscious of how this stuff all connects

it is okay to be wrong

more mork! everyones favorite mystery dromeosaurid(?)

[artfeltameteur]

Dear heavens this is awful but the time budget started running out during the lining stage because I WAITED UNTIL 3 HOURS BEFORE THE DEADLINE LORE:

Hwisterykal is a massive birdlike entity resembling a dromeosaurid (I specifically inspired it off of Microraptor gui)

Hwisterykal has a wingspan similar to that of a small-to-medium airplane, and has sightings reporting a length of up to 45 meters

Its role in its environment is to protect Wysteria plants and fend off both human and nonhuman invaders, usually by using its glowing tail plumage to lure them either into danger or out of the forrest entirely.

H'wisterykal's presence generates a strong sense of unease in humans, but it bears no ill will to humqns who do not overstep nature's boundaries.

Its neck and abdomenal "fur" have been noted to almost resemble elements of formalwear.

Round 1A OC info cards: Jason (Jay) Peters

Information: “He was born in a small-ish town in upstate New York before he and his parents moved to NYC when he was really little, about 5-ish. Ever since he was a kid, he has been obsessed with dinosaurs, specifically dromeosaurids. He never really fit in at school and struggled with bullying for most of his life. His parents weren’t too much help, and he grew further and further apart from them as it seemed they couldn’t really give him the time of day. And yet, they always wanted him to have the perfect grades, join clubs, etc. He joined the parkour club at his school and that was his main form of escape from life in general. When he was 16, he tried to come out to his (unknown to him,  extremely homophobic) parents as gay, but they were disgusted and ended up kicking him out. Lo and behold, that was the same day as the Kraang invasion. Them kicking him out of their apartment was what saved his life. He made it a few blocks down the road, trying to find shelter from the event, when he heard a building collapse and he discovered it was his own apartment building. His parents were crushed in the debris. He lived at the NYC Invasion Relief Center (Made up for my story lol) after that, for he had no sustainable income to rent a place to live). A few months later when everything calmed down, he managed to get an internship at the Museum of Natural History through his school. He worked there for a few months before he was but by an Oozesquito while working on a Utahraptor skull for a new display, and was mutated as such. He runs in fear after authorities are called, and meets the turtles on the rooftops of Times Square. After a brief misunderstanding that he was a new Villain of the Week, they decide to take him to the lair and help him. Later on after a fun little adventure, Splinter allows him to stay for as long as he wants (behavior permitting ofc), and the turtles are given the chance to test their own training in the form of teaching Jay how to be a ninja.”

Ngl I'm mildly obsessed w/ you at first glance. I love paleontology but have kind of fallen off the train in my knowledge over the years and I love queer people being into it as well.

Anyways, do you have any interesting perspective or rambles on newer theories regarding dromeosaurid pack hunting? From what I understand there's been a general scientific consensus that it was less coordinated than previously depicted, and that it was more groups mutually hunting in opportunistic ways as opposed to coordinated behaviors that we see in modern wolves and such.

Year, that is the consensus. It arose from an isotopic study on Deinonychus showing that the young were eating different food to the adults, so the adults were not feeding the young. The theory put forward from here was that dromaeosaurids were not living in family groups, like wolves do, but that adults would form loose 'mobs' to take down larger prey, like Komodo dragons do. My personal stance on this is that it might not be as clear cut as the theories would make out, and the way that dromaeosaurids hunted together may have no modern analogue at all.

Also please stay mildly obsessed with me. I'm very sexy and silly and queer and more of an attention whore than i'd like to admit :3 Thank you. grins
