Hello! In honor of the Dino Parents living and the Substitute being a maybe, could you please draw Ryan hugging the Professor and the Dino Parents?

okay I totally messed up the proportions on this the puppets are HUGE but like you have to forgive me bc. They're cute

[geniepuppet]

Asmodeus had to have some part in saving them from the asteroid, right?

We hear the beats of the song "Asmodeus" (A-S-M-O-D-E-U-S) (Demonic Possessions of Loudon) at the end of the finale song (and right as we see Ryan grab the lamp, alluding to the Genie and his previous deal - and thus Asmodeus), ending RIGHT BEFORE the asteroid is supposed to have hit the Dino-family

The Dreadful Demise of the Dinosaurs

I think this either alludes to the fact that Asmodeus was the original means of getting The Professor to the Cretaceous Period (via forced Genie wish) AND/OR that Asmodeus somehow also got them out of there, which is where my theory begins

The Genie himself said that wishing to bring them back should've worked, meaning that whatever wish was made was not able to be granted

But what if it didn't work (at least immediately) because they were already somehow on their way back? That, by bringing them back by themself, Asmodeus voided that that wish could be granted in the first place because The Professor was already out of the Cretaceous?

Another note of interest is that The Professor himself didn't find a way to get out of the Cretaceous Period on his own. Even he's confused when he appears back in modern times, meaning he didn't time travel his way back - we know that he has something in his satchel that allowed him to time travel, but 1) he has a new satchel and 2) he didn't reach inside it to time travel (like he did in The Great Molasses Flood)

Asmodeus themself said they were born "in the time before time," (Demonic Possessions of Loudon) meaning that Asmodeus still existed back in the Cretaceous Period, meaning this could be plausible

This would also explain how the Dino-parents are also in modern times alongside The Professor, because Ryan couldn't have wished for them to come back - he didn't even know about them. Maybe, if Asmodeus was involved, they also brought the Dino-parents back because they noticed The Professor being close with them (hugging in what they believed were their last moments) or they were just in the same vicinity as The Professor and got picked up by being nearby him

Another small note that may or may not be important is the constant referencing to the bird that's chirping, first brought up by Dino-mom. It's what sings the last 2 notes of Asmodeus perfectly in-time with what it had been doing in previous episodes (America's First Black Aviatrix) and was drawn to attention when we first cut to The Professor being already hatched (Vietnamese Sisters). Maybe Asmodeus had been posing as or possessing that bird in order to keep watch over The Professor (and thus the Dino-family)?

Tl;dr: The likelihood of Asmodeus being involved in saving The Professor and his Dino-family is definitely a possibility and is alluded to by the end of the finale song beats, bird chirps, and context clues

Also, knowing Shane, foreshadowing, "coincidence," and "meaningless" details are important

Obsessed with the Professor's mom immediately hitting on Ryan after being saved and brought to the future.

Name: Dilophosaurus wetherilli

Debut: Real Life, Circa The Early Jurassic (roughly 280 million years ago)

Hi I'm gonna talk about my favorite dinosaur now and you're gonna like it! Or maybe you won't, I don't know you! But y'know what I do know? Dilophosaurus!!! It's my best friend. They named it after the fact that it's got two (di) crests (lopho) on its head and also it's a reptile (saurus). A big reptile at that! In fact, it was the largest known animal of its time to walk the land in North America, and was almost certainly the apex predator of its environment, the Kayenta Formation (located across several of what are now the South-Western United States).

As you can see, this size chart demonstrates that the largest specimen discovered was about 7 meters (23 feet) long; no Tyrannosaurus rex, mind you, but still far larger than... some popular depictions might lead you to believe.

Also contrary to what some popular depictions might lead you to believe, Dilophosaurus would not have required the use of various biological mechanisms such as, for instance, retractable neck frills or venom-spitting to take down its prey; mechanisms which, mind you, are exclusively seen in animals as methods of self-defense, and would therefore only serve to scare away potential prey items.

Speaking of prey items, this stunning piece by Chase Stone depicts a pair of Dilophosaurus as having just brought down a prosauropod (a name for early sauropod relatives). Dilophosaurus did in fact live alongside at least one prosauropod, Sarahsaurus, the Holotype specimen of which bears tooth marks very likely left by a certain two-crested culprit! On that note I want to address another prevalent misconception in regards to life reconstructions of this animal...

On the left we have a (frankly hilariously sock-puppet-like) restoration by a sadly unknown artist, and on the right is another absolutely breathtaking rendering by Chase Stone. As you can pretty clearly see, the way the crests (among other things) are restored is very different between the two! For a long time, the crests were restored as seen on the left: very thin, and with a little protrusion jutting out of the back. This is due to something called shrink-wrapping, a trend in paleoart exemplified by the omission of tissues such as muscle or fat when reconstructing the animal, leading to much of the skeleton being visible through the skin, particularly in the case of the skull.

Stone's restoration, on the other hand, wraps the skull in a much more naturalistic-looking amount of soft tissue, and completely envelops both crests in a keratinous structure, much like the casque of a cassowary or a hornbill (in fact I believe the coloration is actually referenced specifically from a knobbed hornbill's beak).

This is due to the fact that the crests were likely a kind of bony core which would have supported a larger keratinous structure as is to be expected of... sigh... horny structures such as this. Stop smiling. Don't you know there's no fun allowed when you're learning about things? That's what school taught me, anyway. Ahem. As I was saying, the original shape of the crest was extrapolated from incomplete remains, which you can see a restored illustration of above.

Also worth noting is the inclusion of a thin, fluffy covering of feathers along the head, neck, and back of Stone's restoration. This is entirely plausible, as the current consensus is that dinosaurs and their close relatives, pterosaurs, were descended from a fluffy common ancestor due to the fluffy-feathery coverings seen in both groups being found to be basically the same stuff!

I could go on about so many things, like how tremendously fucked up and addled with tumors and infections the Holotype specimen was, or how we have a trace fossil which seems to preserve a Dilophosaurus sitting down in the mud like a big dumb bird, complete with an impression of its butt, but I trust that if these things pique your interest enough, you'll seek them out on your own time. Just remember not to have fun, because as we all know, fun is the one thing learning should never be.

i think it would be great to see the proffesors dino parents tucking him into a little bed

THIS REQ IS SO DELIGHTFUL OMG 😭

Just noting this for myself...

Both Joyce, who voices the Tyrannosaurs Puppet, and Garrett, who voices the Pterosaur Puppet, were both guest competitors in the episodes that contained the "cutscenes" of the Genie (Grisly Journey of the Donner Party (S2) and The Great Molasses Flood (S3), respectively)

Also interesting is the fact that the Genie answers in both were answer B

Tyrannosaurus Baby Puppet for The Lost Wold

Puppet History lore 11/25 (sorry it's late was visiting family for break)

when asked if he has a family, the professor talks of faint memories and voices he remembers. once again alluding to the fact that the professor has a family somewhere ("papa I want a jellybean")

the professor seems to be about to call himself "a hologram" before cutting himself off and calling himself a puppet

Also confirming the hologram theory is the professor glitching again after the plug unconnects from the theater

Ryan brought up Lazy rivers in an answer and the professor didn't even flinch. Ryan has said that the professor will go off on tangents about lazy rivers whenever they're brought up. I suspect this was Ryans way of confirming something was up with professor

The professor snores like "snork mi mi mi" very important stuff

The professor tells Ryan to reapply the lotion liberally, somethings up with the lotion man in telling you

He also says not to worry about how people could be descended from dragons 🤔

Post credit scene- the real professor has been reborn (???) From the egg of two familiar voiced dinos- the trex that ate him and a pterodactyl who were banging

The professor accidentally turned the dinosaurs into puppets, which is what happens when he time travels

He seems to have all his memories, correctly identifying the dinos species and referring to himself as the professor

He is also bigger now according to him. If we say the tyrannosaurus is actual size (which it may not, the puppet changing process can effect size) the professor is at least half the size making him 20ft tall. And if the professor is seeking revenge (which seems likely) than Ryans fucked

[terrificblanket]

So how big is the Professor?

Well, we know that the professor claims he is bigger now because of his Dino dna!

And we see in this family photo that he’s just smaller than his parents, probably just reaching Dad’s chin.

Now we learn in one of the post credit scenes that Dino!Dad is ‘some type of pterosaur’ and Dino!Mum is a Tyrannosaurus. Since both appear to be about the same height (with Dino!Mum slightly taller), I’d say they sit roughly at 3m tall.

*that’s a VERY rough estimate, as tyrannosauruses ranged from 3-6m tall, and it’s not specified as to what type of pterosaur Dino!Dad is, but they are usually on the smaller side of dinosaurs. Given their height relative to each other, let’s be generous and say Dino!Mum is a smaller t-Rex, and Dino!Dad is one of the larger pterosaurs.*

Looking at this graph which I literally pulled off Google, something super interesting to me is the relative height of the human. About….. just reaching the chin?? Maybe around 1.8m tall? 1.93m to be exact?

Interesting. Now I’m not saying we’re getting fursuit Professor, but we gotta look at the facts here 👀

The other possibility is that the professor is only slightly bigger, as Dino!Dad suggests that they may have been shrunk when they became puppets.

While this greatly reduces my former estimate, it does mean the Professor could be about the size of a child maybe? Which would be absolutely adorable, so win win tbh

March 15 - 17, 2IY 1

Brindhelga returns to the party, going up to Gilderoy to suggest the great reptile be named after him: "Would Gilderoyous, uh, Tyrannosaurus do?" Arlex confronts Brindhelga as soon as she turns away from the blushing Gilderoy, shoving her to the ground. Unused to such crude methods of exchange, the confused Brindhelga attempts to parlay with the tiefling-orc-harengan, but when words fail she participates in the shoving match for a time before cutting out the middleman (personal agency) to just read Arlex's mind.

This, of course, is a second dire breach of taboo. Plus there is very little going on in Arlex's mind. Things devolve further until Zilybar finally feels the need to step in (Roy is conducting weapon upkeep while Gilderoy & co. are staying well out of it). But shortly after Zilybar has stepped between the combatants, a curious thing happens:

Out of a tear in reality glides a tiny puppet with a conical dress and a spherical wooden head. It lifts stiff arms with little wooden-sphere hands, which spark as it closes the rift behind it.

This brings a cessation to the fracas, and all study this strange being, which only notices our adventurers when Zilybar comes in front of it and kneels to attempt to converse.

It begins windmilling its arms, which lift it steadily into the air. Its painted face expresses shock.

Brindhelga uses her powers of telekinesis to stop the puppet from flying away before transferring her mind-reading probe to it; alas, the being's thoughts are beyond her comprehension.

Ultimately, Zilybar manages to communicate peace and curiosity to the puppet, which responds in stiff, doll-like pantomime, crudely relating its purpose: to retrieve a large monster/experiment/pet that needs to return home.

This seems reasonabl - never mind, our adventurers are suspicious of its intentions towards the Gilderoyous Tyrannosaurus, surely the great beast of the puppet's panto, and set off in pursuit of the swiftly flying curiosity.

They return to the reptile's meadow, where the parent and child have resumed grazing, and watch as the puppet begins drawing a line in reality above the monsters, its hands sparking colourfully.

Brindhelga puts a stop to it, pulling a horn from her infinite pocket and winding it loudly. The dinosaurs bellow and flee south, the puppet in pursuit.

Business done, I guess, our adventurers turn about and return to Gilderoy & co. and head northwest on their way towards the Boglin village of Locke's expedition journal. An hour or so later, they hear an immense tearing sound, and can assume the puppet's mission has succeeded after all.

The next day sees the party enter a portion of the forest where the ground is broken by winding ravines. Arlex elects to lead the party along the upper paths.

That night, the expedition comes upon a strange river with sheer banks over which pour rushing springs. The river below, only a few dozen feet wide, is rapid. Zilybar scouts south to find a crossing point and locates an area where the river is narrow. Here, Brindhelga is able to use an experimental spell with a deck of cards to form a bridge for all and the animals to cross.

Another day of wild forest passes by them, but by the evening they can smell the bog ahead - and then, in the dim light, they believe they are passing among crude dirt huts! Brindhelga approaches a mound to look for a door, and suddenly an enormous chitinous beast erupts from the dirt!

The monster is certainly scary enough, and so our adventurers respond with violence - killing this one and two more that burst from mounds in defense of their territory.

Then what must be a Boglin appears from the west, a hideous, damp goblin-type person, speaking animatedly in burbles and insect chitters. Arlex quickly casts a language comprehension spell.

Evidently, this is a livestock ground of the Boglins!

Indeed, the smoking corpse of one monster, toasted by Arlex's wyrmling, does give off a delicious aroma ...
