“Calm down, if I wanted you dead I wouldn’t have missed.”

“You call grazing me MISSING?!”

“Sure, I could’ve taken your eye out while I was at it, but I’m feeling nice today.”

Been thinking of a Living Weapon Whumpee that’s spent most of their childhood training, fighting, and surviving. The caretaker that saves them has a child of their own, and hopes that the whumpee can learn to live a more normal life. Have more fun, be a kid for once.

The caretaker also hopes that their house isn’t turned into a war zone overnight with this decision, but its baby steps for now.

“I thought it’d be more fun killing you, but this just seems pathetic! I’d give you a head start, but I don’t think that leg will get you anywhere in a hurry.”

Some concept sketches for your viewing pleasure

Oh my god. I need that velociraptor pizza cutter ASAP!!!!!

I HAVE THE NESSIE LADLE! THEY ALSO HAVE A PASTA SCOOPER ONE

Oh my lord, you’ve put me down a rabbit hole on their website

SOAPASAURUS!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING!!!!!!! SO CUTE!!!!

[whump-galaxy]

My favorite dinosaur is the Triceratops because of these things:

Alright that’s a great answer. Reminds me of these Nessie shaped ladles

I’m a sucker for cute, kitschy everyday items.

Pachycephalosaurus is my favorite.

For one the name is just really fun to say and for the other their thick skulls make me relate to them Sam what. (Dickkopf [Thick Head] means stubborn in German).

They are also really cool to me because they look like they are theropod dinosaurs, but they're not. They are Ornithishian dinosaurs (Theropods are Saurischians) and closely related to Triceratops and the like. Just a really cool example of convergent evolution. (Although technically that isn't the case because I believe the common ancestors of all dinosaurs already were bipedal so the quadrupedal Ornithishians and Sauropods are technically the ones who convergently evolved to be Quadrupedal instead.)

I am getting off track..

Pachycephalosaurus are cool!

These dudes are built for action! Honestly, it’s so interesting to see how animals evolve when they’re hitting their heads into stuff constantly. Buffalos and rams are pretty cool examples, but this dude takes it to the next level.

Also have you seen how woodpeckers skulls look? It’s theorized their tongue acts as a kind of seatbelt to prevent their brain from being damaged when doing their wood pecking. However, they’re still not quite sure how these dudes are escaping without brain damage.

Anyways, nature is crazy, and always wear a helmet when doing activities that require it!

Hell yeah!!!

I love the Carnotaurus and Wuerhosaurus colorations

Here’s some of my favorites!!!!

I love their silly little smiles and their big googly eyes. The Wuerhosaurus’ especially cause they always look kinda suspicious but in a goofy way.

I’ve named basically all my dinosaurs after food cause the coloration makes me think of desserts XD

I need more people to play this silly little game!!! And Amber Isle!!!

idk if we're still doing dinos but I have been learning about them via paleo pines and I am very partial to both pinacosaurus and protoceratops both in game and irl, they bring me so much joy ;u;

YESSSSS PALEO PINES!!!!

They bring SO MUCH JOY!!! I love when the small Dino’s in the game march around watering crops or carrying stuff on their heads. It’s so freaking cute!!!!!!!!!

You gotta tell me your favorite color variant!!

I love Paleo Pines’ Velociraptors

These are my fav variants (pride spots, portal spots, coffee spots, and blueberry muffin spots)

[whump-galaxy]

Are we still talking about prehistoric critters? I'm a sucker for the real big guys, my favorites being the Quetzalcoatlus and the Dreadnoughtus (here's hoping I spelled both correctly). One the size of a small airplane and the other as long as a passenger with the weight of a blue whale. Talk about behemoths.

Absolutely we’re still talking prehistoric critters! (I’m always ready to talk prehistoric animals)

There’s always something so crazy about animals being this size. I’ve seen big animals, but these dudes just existed??? Colossal-y? Like it was nothing?

Especially big Pterosaurs. Flying around, sometimes with massive head crests. I wish I could see them fly in real life.

Did you have the show Dinosaur Train? I watched kid's shows wellllll into my teens for a variety of reasons that I don't at all regret so I caught part of Dinosaur Train's run and I loved the personified dinosaurs! I grew up so many scientific dinosaur things so it was so fun to think about what they'd do if they could talk and have a time travelling train.

Plus I'm also a general sucker for a good science communication show (especially Peep and the Big Wide World... show's done but I still watch old episodes from time to time even as a fully grown adult!)

--🪐(with non-trans stuff for once!)

Funnily enough, I don’t think I watched a lot of dinosaur shows/movies as a kid! (Aside from Land Before Time)

However, I did devour books like crazy. I can’t remember my favorite dinosaur from when I was a kid, but my mom tells me I had sooooo many dinosaur books that she’d tell family members to look for something else, cause I probably already had the book.

[whump-galaxy]

maybe a basic pick, but my favourite dinosaur has always been Ankylosaurus. I just think they're very Shaped

It’s not basic if it’s objectively correct! They are so shaped!!!!

[whump-galaxy]

If you're still taking stuff about extinct/prehistoric animals, I am a Very Undecisive Person and can never choose just One favourite - they're all So Good! - HOWEVER I have at least been able to narrow down my favourite non-avian dinosaurs to four genera.

From smallest to largest, they are: Microraptor, Changyuraptor, Saurornitholestes, and Dakotaraptor (admittedly a dubious taxon 😢). Am I a sucker for dromaeosaurids? Absolutely.

Hope things get better for you soon!

I will never judge someone for being indecisive about favorite cool animals!!

These dudes got the apple bottom jeans, boots with the feathers!

And these dudes have places to BE!!!

And thank you very much! I’m trying to be calm about it but I’ve got awhile to go before I have definitive answers.

I really appreciate everyone who has sent me dinosaurs and ancient animals for fun! It has made me feel so much better!

[whump-galaxy]

Kaprosuchus (the boar croc) is my fav! LOVE a croc with even bigger teeth that could probably gallop!

Oh my lord, I think I’ve seen this dude before. How BADASS!!!!!

Talk about one fast ankle biter though,

Or KNEE biter I guess!!!!

[whump-galaxy]

I love the Deinonychus! It's what the velociraptors in Jurassic Park were based off of. Chicken walk carnivores :D

YES!!! I love these dudes too

Smaller Dino’s have my heart, maybe cause I had a bunch of chickens. Something about them is soooo endearing

[whump-galaxy]

my favorite dinosaur is SPINOSAURUS and i recently went to the field museum and saw their spinosaurus reconstruction named Sobek and i love him

I love these dudes so much! I hope we find out even more about them!!

[whump-galaxy]

I hope you know you've gotten me into a wikipedia dive into prehistoric/megafauna and sharing everything I learn with my partner. I have no regrets

I have none either hehehehe

I’m pulling everyone into ancient animals/dinosaurs WITH ME!!!!!

Everyone, go play Amber Isle and Paleo Pines NOW!!!!!!!!
