#favourite dinosaurs

"I had to ask after seeing this in the comments not to long ago."

"You both have beautiful souls and deserve nothing but happiness. We were all wondering what your favourite dinosaurs are?"

Im not Grimlock, just someone who likes dinosaurs! Speaking of which, what's everyone's favourite dinosaur? -🦖

I have no idea. I haven't studied them. One that flies, probably.

Hmm... I am not sure, either. I would have to learn about them first. Grimlock's sort... unnerves me. He has whirled me around with his leg in his mouth far too often for me to feel safe.

I like triceratops! They're really cool. Megatron, you'd probably like the plant eaters with long necks – like a giraffe!

Oh! That sounds interesting.

I like... hmm. I'm not sure.

Maybe a sea creature? There were a lot that looked kind of the way the Loch Ness Monster is meant to look. I think some of them ate plants and some ate flesh.

Interesting. Why did you pick on that type?

Because you like surfing and water-skiing and stuff like that – and you always get excited when you see things like seals and dolphins in the water with you.

... Fair points.

Your favourite dinosaur?

Cryolophosaurus!

the "Lizard with a frozen crest"

Why: It's a carnivorous dinosaur, that lived in Antarctica! Which, back then was a much more tropical biome!

(Gif Taken from the show 'Dinosaur King' it was my first exposure to this dinosaur and what made me love it in the first place)

My Top 3 Dinos:

Cryolophosaurus "lizard with a frozen crest"

Carnotaurus "Flesh eating bull"

Velociraptor "Speedy thief"

So what's your favourite Dino?

That's a, uh, interesting choice for a dragon? (I swear this isn't a creationist book!)

Happy @jatpfebfanfest to @onlygenxhere!

Have some Juke Clothes Swapping, because while everyone secretly covets the Yellow Smiley Sweater, can you imagine how flustered Luke would be at Julie in his cut-offs?

We all know that the "oh is that a ramones tshirt name 5 of their songs" type of guy is extremely obnoxious and I really hope this doesn't come off that way but the other day a customer was wearing a dinosaur print dress dinosaur necklace and dinosaur earrings and I, making small talk while scanning their shopping, went "oh love your outfit, what's your favourite dinosaur?" and they responded "What? I don't like dinosaurs. I dont know any of their names." and I honestly haven't stopped thinking about it. One funky print is one thing but this whole outfit was Themed. Like girl at least gimme a t-rex or something

If I could be arsed to learn how to edit videos and had some kind of mic, I would 110% make a two part video essay series on the politics of Jurassic World because MY GOD, there's so much to dissect.

The first part would be about how the park is the epitome of neoliberal futurism for techbros, including the way the park so easily falls apart though I doubt that aspect is purposeful. Everything is aesthetic first and function second, and we can't possibly use any of the reliable infrastructure we've already come up with because a train is not gonna get us to Mars, but a monorail might.

And the second would be about the buckwild terrible gender politics going on. The movie is deeply unsympathetic to Claire seemingly because she's a woman who prioritised her career as it's both centre to her character arc and also an inciting event of one of the plots. Not to mention the whole Zara thing or the Owen and Claire thing or the stupid "him, I meant him, line. The movie is rife with misogyny, but it feels like that specific misogyny was isekaied over from backlash to second wave feminism.

I could talk about it all for so long because in a way, it feels like a perfect time capsule for 2015. Back when people took Claire running in heels to be this feminist statement to be made fun of and not just a deeply misogynistic movie trying to sell you feminism. And back when Elon Musk managed to get away with his "I'm the real life Iron Man" shit, and people believed he was smart and all his plans would come to fruition. 2015 was a great time to be a tech bro in Silicon Valley with people just throwing money at all your fake promises.

Yeah. See. This is what I mean when I say I could talk about it forever.
