"what's this new-age nitwit babblin' about, rex?"

rewatching ygo dm with my gf is the most fun i've had in ages. this started out as just a redraw from the latest ep we watched, but the next thing i knew it was animated ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

og screenshot and some stills under the cut!

#i wanna see joey and rex interact like this more i want them to be bros so bad T_T #yugioh duel monsters #joey wheeler #jounouchi katsuya #rex raptor #dinosaur ryuzaki #yugioh #ygo #screenshot redraw #animation #digital art #fanart #it's really cool to see something in my regular style move around a little... like IT'S ALIIIVE lol #it's also really funny how as soon as i finish this up procreate announces a dedicated animation app... it's joever #anyway. if you can guess the episode number you get a cookie #alt text

1 : Soap never had any idea that woman wanted him carnally, he's not the most observant on that front (he never noticed Ghost flirting with him and thought his love was one-sided for the longest time, but tbf Ghost was also very discreet about it)

2 : He sewed the hat, eyepatch and hook himself, because he's the best uncle and then got distracted as he was wrapping it up, so now he's watching a tutorial on youtube about how to build a voice box. Honestly how hard could it be, he builds explosive devices as a hobby (listen, Price doesn't have to know)

3 : He is out to his family, but doesn't want his mum to know he has a boyfriend because he knows she'll insist on meeting him and welcoming him to the family and making a big deal out of this, and he knows that Ghost isn't ready for that.

4 : Christmas is obviously a very hard time for Ghost, but he is very very in love with Soap and some days still can't believe that it's mutual, but then his Johnny does something like that and his head gets quieter while he's melting a bit.

5 : For the people that didn't see my other post : the bird is a Caique parrot, and they're supposedly very energetic, a bit loud, medium sized, unintelligible, very friendly to what they consider their family, adventurous and danger prone, with an explosive personality and a hate of boredom, so basically the adhd bird.

#cod mw2 #john soap mactavish #simon ghost riley #soapghost #ghostsoap #ghost is hard edges and sharp knives but simon is babygirl #i tried my best to make soap's sister look as much like soap as possible #as someone whose siblings look nothing like them i find it hilarious i have no idea why i swear i have the weirdest sense of humour #hc that simon's very first wait no second actually bc i feel like the first special interest for every child with autism is dinosaurs #but wait plot twist birds are dinosaurs so still hc that simon's first (or second if you want) special interest was birds #and he still loves them very much and both soap and his sister have adhd and his sister has a reoccurring hyperfixation on birds #and soap thinks ghost and his sister could get along very easily and is waiting very impatiently for the day ghost is ready and he can #introduce him to his family #but also ghost is very wary of families and especially since there's a young child because he's scared that he'll bring them death like he #feels he did to his own family #i initially wanted to colour it but then i wondered why my brain was working against me and very quickly decided that colouring all that #would be a nightmare and that i already hate colouring so why would i want to torture myself #anyway pls be nice with me i've given all i had to make this lmao

[gascreates]

them :) dino refs finally complete, so now i can make all the joke comics i want

design thoughts under the cut

aang- second hardest design to ge through. at first i couldn't decide on a species, and then i couldn't get the colors to work. believe it or not, bright yellow right next to bright blue is painful to look at. so instead i opted for an all orange color pallette. does he look like a candy corn? yes. and we love him for it. puny lil candy corn avatar

katara- sweet baby so easy, love her, perfect design, no tears shed except for joy. also GIGANTIC. non negotiable part of her design tbh. and aquatic dino!! spinosaurus was the only choice. the sail is meant to look like her necklace! isnt that cool. im so cool and talented.

sokka- nanuqsaurus is! maybe a cold weather dino. possibly. so we did that. he's smaller than his sister and he's mad about it :) also, him face is warriors paint!! and i know that atla water tribes didn't really have anything to do with orcas, but I love orcas and i wanted to give sokka some recognizably hunter-y pattern. so, orca white markings.

toPH- i am ENDLESSLY SUGFERING. do you know how many times i flip flopped on toph's species. do you understand how many hours i spent debating over the benefits of triceratops vs protoceratops?? ankylosaurus vs. pachysephalosaurus???? my agony is unending. im still unsure. sacrificing the concept that toph could take down a t rex (trike) for the small n unassuming character theme (proto). also the badgermole looking markings are cool i guess

zuko- this is where you pretend that im bot playing favorites when it comes to dino species. why is he a deinonychus? cuz i like big raptors, that's why. go away. dont look at me. he's cute. he looks like a bird and i love that for him. also something something aang and zuko similar species that specialize differently based on how their environments changed them, zuko an echo of the potential of flight and aang an echo of the potential to hunt. flock bird vs pack hunter. same but different.

height chart:

i really cant say if it's accurate at all to the real dinos, but i was lazy and didnt want to do math, so it's just eyeballed heights. the important part is that we understand how tiny aang is and how massive katara is

#pls ignore my theropod bias #im allowed to have favorite dinosaurs #even if they're basic bitch carnivores #also if you saw other versions of this post no you didnt #did you know if your internet dies when you're editing a draft on mobile and save it tumblr just posts it #that's so fuckin stupid #ANYWAY im posting now #and im bracing against the lower note count that i know is coming #i do this for me and it doesn't matter if other people like it #(pls like it i die without validation ahdgjshdg) #I AM DO NOT REQUIRE ATTENTION TO THRIVE #(i want. attention) #atla #atla dino au

[inkskinned]

i hate how commodity and capitalism has ruined so much storytelling . i hate how sequels and prequels and whatever else all ring like merch sales; i hate that i as an author have to include any social media following i have as a marketable trait; i hate that everything feels like a xerox of a copy of a dream of a memory.

i hate that my nostalgia has been turned into profit. i hate that companies fear consumer backlash so no real commentary may be made; i hate that companies care more about quantity over quality. i hate that so many artists and creators are being overworked to the point of complete collapse rather than being allowed to tell the story their way. i hate that every point of representation has to be fought for. i hate it i want us all to go back to living in a cave .

when you sit with friends over a bonfire and the night is getting long and people start telling this slow, almost hypnotic story - in this quiet voice, like they don't expect you to listen while they say the most fucked up shit you've ever heard - that is storytelling. who cares if the punchline is car hand hook door. storytelling has always been about community, about us all sitting in the dark, choosing to fill the silence while the last embers are dying. we forgot that storytelling is spellwork. hallucinating together, our breaths held, waiting for the ending we already knew was coming.

#this is specifically due to my rage and undying hatred of megacorporation #disney. #and specifically bc i think there COULD have been a really good series of new #dinosaur island t rex movies #if they had just fucking gone the distance #stopped with the fucking bad CGI #and made the whole thing about late-stage capitalism #do you wanna know what would ACTUALLY sell and work on the big screen more than a trex screaming in front of a volcano #(u absolute jerkweeds)? #so they've rebuilt the island and the park. but the narrative is 100% #that nobody wants to fucking work there and it feels AT BEST cult-like and insular. nobody is paid well for this #at EVERY possible place they are cutting corners. the dinosaurs might have higher walls #but the handlers are paid 5.34 an hour due to island laws. the corporation has RFID tags in their costumes which they are forced to wear #the employees are not allowed to drink water in 120 degree heat bc it would be upsetting to guests #u know real things i experienced working for disney #(but it was 8.90) #anyway it turns out the park CEO knew the risks and just didnt care bc bottom line BAYBEE. #it would be so much more sobering and fucking GOOD if it was like. scientists being like ''i am an environmental scientist'' #''after the epa was slashed this is literally the only job i could find. i literally HAD to take it or i couldn't feed my family.'' #''i hate what i do. i am disgusted by it. i literally CANNOT STOP because the company also charges us 400 dollars a week to live here'' #the dinosaurs escape EARLY in my movie. like minute 45. and then... 1 week later #the park reopens. #half the staff are missing. they're just fucking gone. it doesn't matter tho the company tells everyone to work 2x as hard #that those people weren't loyal enough or they are tragic heroes bc they died doing what they love #and the movie isn't like ''wow dinosaurs scary!!!'' it's... #that in a global fucking pandemic disney kept sacrificing employees. #but it'll be disguised bc the pandemic will be dinosaurs. #this my beloved is what we call an ALLEGORY but unfortunately certain companies have never heard of them #allegories require critical thinking and that doesn't test well with audiences

on june 11th 1993, mike wheeler drags his vaguely amused (and highly endeared) boyfriend will byers to the movie theater, shells out for the largest size popcorn they have available, and gets 2 premium, middle-row seats to watch steven spielberg’s jurassic park

(he’s been vibrating with anticipation ever since the first trailer came out. he makes will go see it with him another five times before it leaves theaters.)

#he would be jurassic park’s number one fan this is so important to me #as someone who is jurassic park’s number 2 fan #the book also is in my top 5 books of all time i think. just absolutely brilliant #and mike would LOSE HIS FUCKING MIND #THE T. REX ANIMATRONIC??? IN 1993 ?? ARE U KIDDING?? #he makes the whole party go see it too and they also lose their shit #like this boy would ride this high straight through the 2010s #52 year old mike wheeler is watching it with his husband will byers rn actually he told me so #everyone just went home after his bday dinner and they’re having movie night #anyways this popped into my head earlier (for reasons) and now u can pry this hc from my cold dead hands thanks #also like. will would also be so excited dont get me wrong #he would be losing his shit #but in my head dinosaurs are like marginally more mike’s thing #yk #mike wheeler #will byers #byler #/astro posts

dumb naruto ffn concept: sasuke and sakura have an argument post epilogue about familial duties

-sakura understands that sasuke wants to travel and do ninja stuff, but... she is also a ninja? a ninja in extremely high demand?? she has missions too, sasuke. someone needs to go eliminate random plagues and punch down buildings, sasuke!

-both agree that sarada needs a stable parental influence, but sakura doesnt want to give up her career to play 24/7 housewife, and sasuke would go insane if forced to stay in one place for any length of time

-both agree that revolving baby sitters would be no good, she needs someone to watch her who is like. actually family, and not a friend doing them a favor.

-unfortunately they are also both ridiculous in their own special ways, and have insane standards for the role of "would trust with their child." they would need someone who is:

-A: not on active duty, because thats the problem both of them are having

-B: is someone they feel they can trust around children (ie: not kakashi, because he's family, but also, the worst possible role model. And not naruto because he is hokage and also, just. no.)

-C: is up to the ridiculous standards they have as a consequence of being on team 7. (ie: "obviously we want someone capable of defending her from random missing nin, what if she gets attacked coming home from the academy" "obviously")

-D: most importantly: someone who would be willing to. actually do that. sasuke's whole family is dead and sakura's parents are both old (read: in their 50s, or, positively ancient in ninja terms) and civilians.

-This goes back and forth for ages... until sasuke remembers that. He knows the edo tensei. He watched orochimaru do it with his sharingan. So. There is. One possibility.

-Sakura goes to tsunade and is like "hey :) can i have that missing nin that was brought in last week :) the one that accidentally got his brain melted by T&I :)" and tsunade is just. so tired. sure, why not. the things she does for her cute little apprentice.

-So now they have a technically still alive body that is legally braindead and who no one will miss!!

-Anyways, itachi gets pulled from the afterlife to be sarada's weird uncle and constant babysitter. This can only end well!!

#naruto #itachi: ''little brother. why. why are you like this'' #sasuke: ''i learned it from you.'' #itachi: ''...you know. that's fair.'' #i hate how theyre presented in the main epilogue but. sakura and sasuke were cute in the dinosaur manga. #so. this ship has potential. you just. mmm. you just need a lot of elbow grease. #itachi probably wasnt doing anything interesting in the pure realm anyways. probably. #fanfiction

i wanted to see altaria rei then i started goofin around

#the only ones i could see clearly were eevee eiden and morpeko morvay #i couldn't pin rei to a single mon bc i don't know a THING ABOUT HIM yet #but i want to see ghost type rei fight ghost type kuya and they're both just super effective against each other #i wonder if all the old men automatically get honourary ghost type membership. live 300 years ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: spooky #ANYWAY LET ME TALK ABOUT MY LIST #as in the list i was compiling of pokemon who matched the VIBE of someone and i couldn't decide #now BESIDES the ones req et al. already mentioned. which i already 👍👍👍 i was trying to find even moooore . exploring what could be..... #rei: altaria. marowak (alolan). noctowl. chandelure. decidueye. ribombee [a quiet friend :)]. inteleon. #once again i don't know rei's birdy deal yet so i won't (eheheh) pigeonhole him into an owl pokemon but we'll just wait and see #i had inteleon under rei before milke brought up sobble yakumo so now i'm like..... oh no... #rei fits the last evol and yakumo fits the first two.... uhhhhh #they can share. like they share gem placement. butt buddies. #yakumo had: girafarig. froslass. azurill (crying). tropius. wishiwashi. leavanny. marshadow. #i just want him to hang out with the food related mons and enjoy some fresh fruit with a giant flying dinosaur. yah #OK FOR EDMOND I SAW SIRFETCH'D AND COULDN'T STOP LAUGHING #WHAT A REGAL BOY. I HAVE TO. PLEASE I NEED EDMOND TO WIELD ONIONS #i was trying to be serious and find him a proper majestic pokesona . i swear. but the look on sirfetch'd's's face #edmond's list went: skarmory. lucario. cinccino. zeraora. dachsbun. #do i know edmond? i doubt. he's fluffy. wait no he's severe. wait no would he dare carry a fluffy cakey pokemon around? DARE HE???? #for olivine i was even more stumped. seems like a lot of the pokemon i immediately thought of were the fluffy nurse types #stuff like chansey/blissey. kangaskhan. #this pokemon is 100% female? *flings pokedex out the window* no. olivine is a gender now #some of the newer pokemon i considered were bewear. drampa. mabosstiff. #but once again these were all just Protective of the Little Ones types #so i was imagining olivine just chilling with his serene smile and an army of MASSIVE CARETAKER POKEMON behind him #but. there has to be more to him than just taking care of others . furrows brow. idk. i'll settle for lapras FOR NOW #ditto eiden riding on the back of lapras. wonderful. glorious #pokemon crossover

some dinosaur-esque dragons for my worldbuilding.

Cryopteryx - a feathered flying dragon that lives in cold climates and has a frost breath. They are goofy the way corvids are.

Coatl - A large serpent creature that is intelligent and can fly. I gave it the head of a quetzalcoatlus.

Tarrasque - a humongous dragon that has acid breath. Incredibly terrifying and destructive, when it isn't alseep or lazing about. Has the shell of an ankylosaurus.

poe thoughts and scribbles for my aching soul

#He’s a really old oc #based off my plush rabbit when I was 10 so my first oc ever next to Craig and hope who were made at the same time. #i used to draw him as any thing I was obsessed with as a kid like digimon or Pokémon and still call him poe #cause I was also obsessed with Calvin and Hobbes and I would imagine him like Hobbes for fun and bring him everywhere and make comics of #poe hanging out with me as a scary cool monster who secretly turned into a plush rabbit like Barney the dinosaur #and that’s like his origin story LMAo I didn’t do imaginary friends or anything like that #I’d just grab a plush toy or poe and pretend I was in an adventure with them. But poe was my personal comfort one causw my abuela got him #for me and he would be gripped allot when I was sad or upset so he was my coping toy #another would be a big red dragon I have since I was five too. And I would be silly and be like that’s poes girlfriend and she is PFGN #and now with my eclipse toy hehe :) but yeah poe origin lore from my backyardigan kid times #GOD THAT SHOW ALSO MADE ALLOT OF INFLUENCE TOO LOL DOKFJF I was a massive daydreamer lol #but now poe has his own insane story now it was silly when I was a kid but it’s cool now I swear I prommy im not cringe (disclaimer I am PF #anyway that’s crazy #art #my art #my ocs #poe #monster #monster oc #furry #kinda #creature #wife ocs #harbinger #hope #Craig #hes their dad dadadada #Tired dream guardian monster raising to literal eldritch entity children in a summary pretty much
