#but dinosaurs are Earth's closest thing to real life dragons 😁

[gothicvalentine]

So, I was on Amazon, looking up books written by this guy I just saw in a Ted talk. Then I happened to notice a couple of books about bats.

As a general rule, I adore bats and have since I stayed at camp at around age 5 and saw this little, tiny bat. It was hanging upside down from the huge stone fireplace.

The lady reading the stories that evening just calmly pointed it out to us all and I was amazed by how tiny and cute it looked. I thought it was a baby but I'm sure it wasn't. The adults are incredibly small here.

To add to my bat experiences, my dad would catch and release them if they got inside. He'd wear gloves in case they bit him, but he'd show them to me and let me gently pet the soft fur on their backs.

I consider myself lucky that I was never around people who were scared of them because it would be sad if even more people feared these little dudes. (My daughter likes them too, lol)

So, back to why I'm posting this screenshot.

After seeing these bat books, I, of course thought about Twisted Wonderland's resident bat, Lillia van Rouge . So, having Lillia already on my mind, the next book I see has a dragon! Malleus!!!!

(omg Malleus. I am SO, SO sorry!) Nope! Once my brain actually engaged I realized it was a dino--a T Rex to be more precise. 😂🤣😂😭😭

Despite being all alone, I was simultaneously embarrassed, ashamed, and secretly amused.

Because of course I wouldn't want to let the imaginary dragon prince find out that mistaking him for a freaking T Rex was actually pretty hilarious. 🙄😂

#I'm pretty sure I've always been a nutcase #but Yana creating a character that I'd find physically attractive even if he had the worst personality ever #only to make him sweet #and generous #and he shares interests and aesthetic preferences with me #so that pretty much tipped me over into batshit crazy territory lol #oh #side note #i was obsessed with dinosaurs as a child 🤣 #i mean dragons aren't the same #but dinosaurs are Earth's closest thing to real life dragons 😁 #twisted wonderland #malleus draconia #twst #lilia vanrouge #twst malleus #omg i also just realized that the name of the bat book is little bat goes to night school #or maybe night raven college #oops #in night school not goes to night school #why can't you edit tags on mobile?
