i can't believe i've been led here by a tiktok post...

[oblivionsight]

Also I'm only at chapter 20 or smth but god I hope Denis and Desmond can at least stay friends. Denis' story is actually so sad and I hope Desmond can find it in him to separate Denis from Charlon- even in the physical sense. Convince him he has been being taken advantage of and he can find another job elsewhere. Forget what you owe him, you've done enough.

Fossil Crocs of 2024

Another year another list of new fossil crocodilians that greatly expand our knowledge of Pseudosuchia across deep time. Happy to say that this is my third time doing this now, so I'm not going to bog you down with the details and get right into it.

Benggwigwishingasuchus

Our first entry, sorted by geological age of course, is Benggwigwishingasuchus eremicarminis (desert song fishing crocodile) from the Middle Triassic (Anisian) of Nevada. It was a member of the clade Poposauroidea, which some of you might recognize as also containing such bizarre early croc cousins like Arizonasaurus and Effigia. Also notable about Benggwigwishingasuchus is that it was found in the Fossil Hill Member of the Favret Formation. Why is that notable? Well the Fossil Hill Member preserves an environment deposited 10 km off the Triassic coastline and also yielded fossils of animals like Cymbospondylus, the giant ichthyosaur. Despite this however, Benggwigwishingasuchus shows no obvious signs of having been a swimmer or diver. Instead, its been hypothesized that it was simply foraging around the coast and might have been washed out to sea.

Parvosuchus

Fast forward some 5 million years to the Ladinian - Carnian of Brazil, specifically the Santa Maria Formation. Here you'll find the one new genus on the list I did not write the wikipedia page for: Parvosuchus aurelioi (Aurélio's Small Crocodile). With only a meter in length, Parvosuchus is amongst the smallest pseudosuchians of the year and a member of the aptly named Gracilisuchidae. Santa Maria was actually home to multiple pseudosuchians, including the mighty Prestosuchus (and its possible juvenile form Decuriasuchus), the small erpetosuchid Archeopelta and larger Pagosvenator and one more...

Schultzsuchus

Yup, Santa Maria has been eating good this year. Before the description of Parvosuchus, scientists coined the name Schultzsuchus loricatus (Schultz's Crocodile). Now this one's not entirely new and has long been known under the name Prestosuchus loricatus (by which I mean since 1938). What's interesting is that this new redescription suggests that rather than being a Loricatan, Schultzsuchus was actually an early member of Poposauroidea like Benggwigwishingasuchus. Even if it was no longer thought to be close to Prestosuchus, it was liekly still a formidable predator and among the larger pseudosuchians of the formation.

Garzapelta

Our last Triassic pseudosuchian and our only aetosaur of the year came to us in the form of Garzapelta muelleri (Mueller's Garza County Shield). It comes from the Late Triassic (Norian) Cooper Canyon Formation of, you guessed it, Garza County, Texas. As an aetosaur, the osteoderms are already regarded as diagnostic, tho unlike some other recent examples there is a little more material to go off from. It's still primarily osteoderms, but at least a good amount and even some ribs.

Ophiussasuchus

Our only Jurassic newcommer is Ophiussasuchus paimogonectes (Paimogo Beach Swimmer Portuguese Crocodile), but arguably you couldn't find a better posterchild for Jurassic crocodyliforms. This new lad is a goniopholidid from the Kimmeridgian to Tithonian Lourinhã Formation, yup, Europe's Morrison. It's anatomy is perhaps not the most exciting, like other goniopholidids it had a flattened, very crocodilian-esque snout and was likely semi-aquatic like its relatives.

Artwork by @manusuchus and Joschua Knüppe

Enalioetes

Another quintessential group of Jurassic crocodyliforms are the metriorhynchoids, however, 2024's only new addition to this clade was actually Cretaceous, specifically from the earliest Cretaceous (Valanginian) of Germany. Like Schultzsuchus, Enalioetes schroederi (Schroeder's Sea Dweller) is new in name only, as fossil material has been found at the latest in 1918 and given the name Enaliosuchus "schroederi" in 1936. This kickstarted a whole series of taxonomic back and forth until the recent redescriptoin finally just gave it a new name and settled things (for now). Looking back I realize that I really need to take the time and fix up the Wikipedia page. Tho I've written its current status, I was kinda limited by being on vacation and never dived into the description section.

Artwork by Joschua Knüppe and Jackosaurus

Varanosuchus

Another Early Cretaceous crocodyliform is Varanosuchus sakonnakhonensis (Monitor Lizard Crocodile from the Sakon Nakhon Province), described from Thailand's Sao Khua Formation. It lived around the same time as Enalioetes, but otherwise couldn't have been more different. Where Enalioetes was fully marine, Varanosuchus was more a land dweller as evidenced by the deep skull and long, slender legs. At the same time, some other features, like its more robust limbs compared to its kin, might suggest that Varanosuchus could have still spent some time in the water like some modern lizards. Tho one might be reminded of Parvosuchus from earlier, Varanosuchus is a much more recent example of small terrestrial croc-relatives, the atoposaurids, which are much closer to todays crocodiles and alligators.

Artwork once again by Manusuchus

Araripesuchus manzanensis

Yet another example of a small, gracile land "crocodile" comes to us in the form of Araripesuchus manzanensis (Araripe Basin Crocodile from the El Manzano Farm). And once again, it belonged to a completely different group, this time the notosuchian family Uruguaysuchidae. Now Araripesuchus is well known as a genus, in part due to the work of Paul Sereno and Hans Larsson (who popularized the names "dog croc" and "rat croc" for two species). Tangent aside, A. manzanensis is known from the upper layers of Argentina's Candeleros Formation, corresponding to the Cenomanian (earliest Late Cretaceous). The same locality also yielded A. buitreraensis, from which A. manzanensis can be distinguished on account of its blunt molariform teeth in the back of its jaw. This dentition, which corresponds to a durophageous diet of hardshelled prey, could explain how it coexisted with the related A. buitrensis at the same locality, allowing the two to occupy different niches. There is a neat little animation done for this animal you can watch here.

Caipirasuchus catanduvensis

We're staying in South America but moving to Brazil's Adamantina Formation for our next entry: Caipirasuchus catanduvensis (Caipiras Crocodile from Catanduva). This one is a little more recent, tho the age of the Adamantina Formation is a bit of a mess far as I can tell, ranging anywhere from the Turonian to the Maastrichtian. One could also argue that C. catanduvensis is part of the "lanky small croc club" that Parvosuchus, Varanosuchus and A. manzanensis belong to, but I feel that the very short snout helps it stand out from that bunch more easily. Anyhow, Caipirasuchus catanduvensis is a member of Sphagesauridae, related to Armadillosuchus, and herbivorous. What's really interesting tho is that the internal anatomy suggests the presence of resonance chambers not unlike that of hadrosaurs, possibly suggesting that these animals were quite vocal. This could also explain why baurusuchids appear to have had very keen hearing.

Artwork by Joschua Knüppe and Guilherme Gehr

Epoidesuchus

We're staying in the Adamantina Formation for our last Mesozoic croc of the year, Epoidesuchus tavaresae (Tavares' Enchanted Crocodile). Tho also a Notosuchian like Araripesuchus and Caipirasuchus, this one belongs to the family Itasuchidae (or the subfamily Pepesuchinae depending on who you ask), which stand out as being rare examples of semi-aquatic members of this otherwise largely terrestrial group. Epoidesuchus was fairly large for its kin and had long, slender jaws. Like I said, Epoidesuchus and its relatives were likely more semi-aquatic than other notosuchians, something that might explain the relative lack of semi-aquatic neosuchians across Gondwana. They aren't absent mind you, but noticably rarer than they are in the northern hemisphere.

Artwork by Guilherme Gehr

And thus we move into the Cenozoic and towards the end our or little list. From here on out, say goodbye to Notosuchians or other weird crocodylomorphs and get ready for Crocodilia far as the eye can see.

Ahdeskatanka

The first Cenozoic croc we got is Ahdeskatanka russlanddeutsche (Russian-German Alligator), which despite its name comes from North Dakota, specifically the Early Eocene Golden Valley Formation. Ahdeskatanka is similar to many early alligatorines like Allognathosuchus in being small with rounded, globular teeth that suggest that it fed on hardshelled prey. This would have definitely helped avoid competition in the Golden Valley Formation, which also housed a second, similar form not yet named, a large generalist with a V-shaped snout similar to Borealosuchus and the generalized early caiman Chrysochampsa, also large but with a U-shaped snout.

Artwork by meeeeeeee

Asiatosuchus oenotriensis

We had an alligatoroid, so now its time for a crocodyloid. Asiatosuchus has been recognized from the Late Eocene Duero Basin of Spain for a while now, but now we have a name: Asiatosuchus oenotriensis (Asian Crocodile Belonging To The Land Of Wine). Asiatosuchus is a complex genus, most often not really forming a monophyletic clade and likely representing several distinct or at least successive taxa that form the "Asiatosuchus-like complex". Within this complex, A. oenotriensis is thought to have been close-ish to Germany's Asiatosuchus germanicus.

Artwork by Manusuchus

Sutekhsuchus

Rounding out the trio of major crocodilian clades is Sutekhsuchus dowsoni (Set's Crocodile/God of Deception Crocodile), representing our only gavialoid of the year. Originally described as Tomistoma dowsoni in 1920 based on fossil remains from the Miocene of Egypt, Sutekhsuchus has been at times regarded as distinct and at other times lumped into Tomistoma lusitanica. It was one of several early gavialoids to inhabit the coast of the Tethys during the Miocene and appears to have been most closely related to the genus Eogavialis, clading together just outside of the American and Asian gharials. A fun little personal anecdote, I prematurely learned about this one due to a friend highlighting the name in a study on Eogavialis. Never having heard of "Sutekhsuchus" I took to google scholar, where I found a single result: a reference to the then unpublished description, which naturally I ended up eagerly awaiting.

Artwork by Manusuchus and Joschua Knüppe

Paranacaiman

Two more and we're done. First, completely arbitrarily, Paranacaiman bravardi (Bravard's Caiman from Parana) from the Miocene Ituzaingo Formation of Argentina. Material of this genus has originally been referred to Caiman lutescens, described in 1912 but now considered a nomen dubium. Paranacaiman is known from limited material only, just the skull table, but that would indicate a "huge" animal. My personal scaling recovered a size of almost 5 meters in length, similar to large black caimans today.

Once again, credit to me

Paranasuchus

Last but not least, Paranasuchus gasparinae (Gasparini's Crocodile from Parana). Coming from the same deposits as Paranacaiman, this one too has been known as a species of Caiman for some time before being assigned its own genus, though it at least got to retain its old species name. Alas, I have not scaled it myself, tho its material is at least more extensive than that of Paranacaiman, including even parts of the snout. A little nitpick because I don't have much to say, but I personally think the name was ill conceived. On its own both Paranacaiman and Paranasuchus are fine names don't get me wrong, but together, coined by the same authors in the same study no less, they strike me as needlessly confusing to non experts. Both are caimans, both are from Parana, so the distinction between "Parana Caiman" and "Parana Crocodile" is entirely arbitrary and doesn't really distinguish them. Not helped by the fact that they are even closely related in the original description. Other than that tho another good addition to our understanding of fossil crocs.

No artwork on this one, but fossil material from Bona et al. 2024

And that wraps up 2024. I hope This post, or my posts throughout the year or even my work on Wikipedia has helped to make these fascinating animals just a little bit more approachable and a massive thanks to all the artists who took their time to create fantastic pieces featuring these incredible animals. Special shout outs to Manusuchus, who diligently illustrated a lot of the featured animals and Joschua Knüppe, who had to listen to me suggest Ahdeskatanka every Sunday for about two months straight now.

HELP!! I’m desperately searching for a schrucy fanfic that has been in my mind for a strong while but I don’t recall the title or the name of the author or the site I found it in. It’s been a couple of years since I last read it and I’d like to see if its been updated during that time. Within this fanfic, Schroeder starts to find the new girl in school, who happens to be the little red haired girl/ Heather i think, really attractive. Both Lucy and Charlie Brown are devastated and betrayed by Schroeder. I also remember that Schroeder took Heather to prom/ homecoming knowing it’ll hurt Lucy. Regardless Lucy still goes to prom in this really pretty blue dress but eventually breaks down and leaves prom. It’s pretty angsty and is set in high school. I don’t remember much else. Someone pls help me find it!!

[darkmaga-returns]

United States Attorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday announced that the Justice Department was suing New York and several of its leaders over its status as a "sanctuary state," which limits its cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.

New York is the second state to be sued over its immigration enforcement policies. The Justice Department sued Illinois and Chicago last week for allegedly having interfered with federal immigration laws.

The announcement occurred during Bondi's first official press briefing as attorney general, which took place one week after she was sworn in.  

“This is a new DOJ,” Bondi announced in the press briefing. “New York has chosen to prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens. It stops. It stops today. As you know, we sued Illinois. New York didn’t listen. So now, you’re next.”

The lawsuit also named Gov. Kathy Hochul, New York Attorney General Letitia James and DMV chief Mark Schroeder as defendants, per the New York Post.

ranking dog sees god name changes based on how willing i am to believe them

peppermint patty -> tricia york: absolutely. absolutely i buy that she would go by a slightly different nickname for patricia when she’s older

marcie -> marcy: totally reasonable for her just just change the spelling

pigpen -> matt: i have no trouble believing that matt is his real name and pigpen was a childhood nickname

linus -> van: apparently van comes from linus’ last name so this is acceptable

charlie brown -> cb: fine

lucy -> van’s sister: …. :( give my girl her name back

sally -> cb’s sister: see above

schroeder -> beethoven: ??? i mean it makes sense cause he likes beethoven but feels unnecessary.

[blortch]

had a revelation that Rich Evans is like a grown up Charlie Brown. Everyone refers to him by his first and last name and he is tormented by life at every turn. Which makes Mike his Lucy (tormentor yet somehow his biggest cheerleader) and Jay can be Schroeder or something idk I didn’t think this out all the way through.

Oh yeah? Jay's Schroeder? For any particular reason perhaps?

[mylove-thresher]

Pinterest brainrot

oc shi ig idk man read if ur bored or som this shi long as hell 💔vvv

Worlds biggest yap session bc I need to put my thoughts in place lmao. Do not read this shi bro you’ll waste a year of ur life at it 🙏😭 I don’t know why they’re holding hands. I just know that they know each other bro idek how they’re linked. I just thought it’d be very cutesy of me to draw that.

WHY IS SHE SO SMALL LMAO 💔 “I’m pocket sized!” AHH 😭 tbh I feel like I’ll let her be so small….. bc I’m small myself irl guys 💔 I’m not a 6’8 gentleman knight who travels across nations on the back of a beautiful strong stallion like I wish I were 😔 I should definitely make her less skinny tho idk y she looks so skinny here like she’s flat but as a board

I’m probably nonbinary but I have a job so idrc about that rn/ref

that was completely unrelated. Whatever.

I mainly draw ts bc of Pinterest. It keeps showing me pretty outfits that would never fit me so I have to draw them. And who else other than my beautiful 2D mannequins is supposed to model 😻 I kept seeing a lot of piano accessories and outfits… I think Pinterest knows Schroeder is my son guys

sixten has bad posture….. how do I portray that…… he needs a bad posture…… I need to project my fear of bad posture onto him…….

my friends helped me choose his name and at first they wanted a name like Chris or som but then we started yapping ab Chris from sonic x. And I felt like that didn’t fit him well so we scrolled and scrolled and scrolled….. and we found the name Sixten. I was a bit unsure ab the name, but it grew on me and I just went w it lmao. I honestly rlly like that name like yessir 610‼️ I still need to figure out his last name tho… at least ik he’s like. Swedish or something. My friends wanted him to be Swedish idk why. I’m not complaining. I loooooooove ikea 😼 what if i make his last name something rlly funny… like what if it was music related. Idk what it’d be I don’t play the piano or any other instruments but I wanna make it corny as hell.

I thought Angelica needed someone to match her sopping wet dog core ok. I started drawing him first and then I was like… what if I make bro miserable so he matches her freak (anxiety). And also black hair x blonde (idk what’s between them. Idk if it’s /p or /rom. And honestly I’ll just let my friends figure out that one lmaoo I just draw them atp 😭)

I don’t think they’re like actually miserable or mentally unstable I just think they need a little challenge….. big challenges…. Omg the crocodile :D sanriooooo I heart Sanrio I heart big challenges he’s so. >^^

little doodle to keep the attention span

OH YEAH I THINK HE NEEDS GLASSES BC WE NEED MORE PPL W GLASSES ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ ik they’re small as hell in comparison to his head but that’s. That’s just bc this is a doodle ok. Shut up.

I originally drew him w a sweater vest (like in doodle) but I thought a sleeveless costard fit more w Angelica’s outfit once I finished drawing them both so I had to pick up the pencil 😭

Angie so round….. ouhh big buggy seal eyes oh my dear pookie. Best design of mine I swearrrr giving bro the biggest fuckass eyes peak character design. Something ab big ass black eyes is so beautiful

I don’t know if I should make changed to her haircut….. I rlly like the simplicity of the square cut but I’m not sure if it’s the best for her. I def don’t want to give her unruly hair and idk if anything shorter or longer would suit her. I’ve tried doing some tests and so far I think it should stay but idk…… I’ll probably consult the divas opinions

oh and some fun facts about them ig. I think more ab small details ba them rather than story or anything for some reason lmao I just think it’s silly and cute:

Angelica:

Smells like lavender

Loves sleeping (SO REAL OF HER)

Has a cat (idk ab giving her a dog….. I just don’t know how to execute that part. I think a clingy cat would work! There’s a guy who posts ab his clingy cat named Layla I’ve seen him on yt and I thought. That should be Angie and her cat.) idk ab what the cats name is but I think it should be female and named Fraise (bc I like pronouncing the frai- part lolz)

A COWARD ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ PUSHOVER ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ bro the type of person to give motivational talks and then never do what she recommends bc anxious and shy. I rlly like this kind of character xd

Likes jasmine tea (it’s the British tea time instinct in her…) and blueberry jam jam cookies. Originally it was raspberry but I thought blueberries fit her (colour palette) more.

She got her hair cut square for the first time when she was like. A kid or something. She probably wanted to stand out from other girls and be paid attention to (bros a nobody) so she picked up that scissor and cut her beautiful blue hair off/ref 💔 and you know. “We gotta go bald” move from her parents and she got a square cut. (Or a bob ig. I don’t like saying bob tho.)

Loves the warmth of sunshine. Bro is the baskerrrrrrrr

Enjoys dressing up cutely (my drawings of her as evidence)

Starts crying when she sees something that’s too cute (me core⁉️)

the house plant haver

She’s named Angelica bc I like the nickname Angie and bc one of my many cousins is named Angelica. Last name is Narracott bc I am obsessed w Ils Étaient Dix 2015 and the boat guy’s last name sounds very kewl

idk what else. I think that’s it.

[I HAD TO PAUSE WRITING TO WATCH THE FNSF MOVIE TWO TEASER OMG IM SO EXCITEDDDDDDDD AGGHGGGGG CANT WAIT FOR THEM TO SHOW THE TONYCRYNIGHT ANIMATION OF FOXY SND MANGLE ST THE END🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥/j]

[SORRY FOR THE FNSF MEME DUMP LMAO I COULDNT HOLD BACK]

Sixten:

Absolute classical music glazer (me and my friend are obsessed w peanuts and Schroeder is literally my son guys wdym I can’t make an oc based off of him)

bad posture bc. Piano. Bro is the 🦐

bro had that piano extracurricular as a kid that costed fifty five bijillion dollars

his handwriting is shit idk. i think.

smells like some fresh ass parfume fr fr he got that ysl on (idk what ysl parfume smells like so probably not but. He smells fancy. Imagine the smell of fancy. That.)

His hands won’t stop cramping 💔 someone fix that please

tired as hell. Let him sleep. (It’s funny bc Angelica is sleeper certified and my dawg Sixten is on that 5 hours of sleep. He needs to drink tea like her fr fr)

He tried getting rid of those little curls that r out of place in his bangs and it just. Wont disappear. He cut them off once and like. They came back. (I did this to him bc there was a time I just a random curl sticking out of the side of my head. My baby hair is rlly curly even tho my hair is wavy at most)

Probably has dust allergies bc I think it’d be funny if he was a clean freak. Scrubbing that piano.

Have you ever seen those overconsumption skin care asmr vids. That’s his skin care. Without the overconsumption ofc. Fuck overconsumption.

Wears glasses ofc. Not all the time but he does wear them.

Got his name from like. A baby names list lmao. As every oc haver does apparently 😭. Idk what his last name will be tho

GHHHH I DONT WANNA MAKE THIS ANY LONGER 😭 ok I’ll cut it there. That’s it. Thank god i didn’t do that in tags and did it in normal text. I’m gonna take a shower it’s 9pm. Random FNAF image from my gallery GO‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ I’m still so excited bro 😭

Wednesday Wrap-Up: March 5th

Hello hello!

I hope everyone's had a better week than I have. The perils of working full-time, taking college classes, and deciding to start a blog. Who would've guessed that stresses you out? ╮(￣▽￣"")╭

Since this is the first week, we won't have a Finished This Week section, but the rest of the format will be the same in the following weeks.

Be sure to check out the links below - two of this week's books are featured in giveaways on Storygraph and/or Goodreads!

Current Reads:

Schroeder by Neal Cassidy (Storygraph | Goodreads) check out either of the links to enter a giveaway for a free copy! A literary thriller/horror with stream-of-consciousness narration, Schroeder takes us along for the titular character's ride of violence through the city. A true antihero, you can't help but empathize with the narrator's astute observations of the world around him and even his thoughts and feelings about himself and the way he's treated, only to be unceremoniously yanked back into reality when he reaches the next stop on his list.

Breaking Generational Silence: A Guide to Disrupt Unhealthy Family Patterns and Heal Inherited Trauma by Nicole Russell-Wharton (Storygraph | Goodreads) another giveaway in Storygraph! A psychology and mental health self-help book, Breaking Generational Silence focuses on the way repressed trauma can affect you generations down the line - and, of course, how to break the cycle. Whether we realize it or not, every family has their own form of generational silence to break, but Russell-Wharton provides a much-needed diverse, intersectional lens to the topic that too often seems to only be discussed by white women.

Up Next:

Our Infinite Fates by Laura Steven (Storygraph | Goodreads) Yet another YA romance with reincarnated soulmates? Not quite. Evelyn remembers all of her past lives, including falling in love with - and being killed by - a supernatural being named Arden. Desperate to live longer than she ever has before to donate blood marrow to her sister, Evelyn becomes the hunter in this reincarnation, searching for Arden to break the curse and maybe, just maybe, not fall in love this time.

Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo (Storygraph | Goodreads) I know, I know, I'm late to the party. A wildly popular YA fantasy with a Netflix adaptation, Shadow and Bone is the beginning of Bardugo's "Grishaverse", with related books that go beyond the Shadow and Bone trilogy. This book follows a Grisha soldier in Ravka's army, gifted (or cursed, depending on who you ask) with magical abilities that could reunite her war-torn country or destroy it altogether. I was introduced to the Grishaverse after reading the Six of Crows duology last month - thank you, as always, Noé for your amazing recommendations - and cannot wait to dig into the book that started it all. And yes, King of Scars is also on my TBR. ¬‿¬

Many thanks to NetGalley, M & S Publishing (Schroeder), Sounds True Publishing (Breaking Generational Silence), and St. Martin's Press (Our Infinite Fates) for the ARCs in exchange for honest reviews.

As always, check out my Linktree to find me on Storygraph, Goodreads, and Instagram.
