Steve and Inko! They're not friends, but Inko can't get to Steve from here, so Steve doesn't care.

OK. Please, hear me out. What do you get when you take one heartbroken, middle-aged man and put him with another heartbroken, middle-aged man? Hint: Only good things.
I'm sorry, I'm not bored or tired of writing Ikkotah and Chekkatah (far from it, I have four WIPs outstanding more for them how do I stop??), but I do also want to write Ikkotah as he is in HFW. He deserves it. The man is a sad widower and needs to not be sad anymore. He also needs to be included in Aloy's troupe of people to fight Nemesis. I can dream.
Though he was still grieving Ourea, Aratak came to fight at the Battle of the Alight in HZD, so it's my belief dream that he'd also come for the fight against Nemesis. So Aloy would introduce them (maybe she's dabbling in matchmaking...) and they would both be impressed by the other's battle prowess and strength, and can connect over the loss of a dear loved one by tragic, heartbreaking circumstances.
Now. My soft shipper's heart requires Ikkotah to have a second chance at love, and Aratak needs someone nice and caring, but who could also kick his ass if needed. I think they'd be a good match! Both are super tough, good fighters, very handsome, and from mountain environments. But the cultural differences! They would have to learn each others' ways, hear each others' stories/songs, and then absolutely fall head-over-heels in love.
I'm sorry, I could not hold this in any longer. It needed to come out of my head. It's been eating me alive for days now. My poor Ikkotah has gotten an even rarer pair than Chekkatah. But it can't be helped. I've been snagged. They look nice next to each other too. Right? Am I crazy? I might be crazy. And with this, I have another story to add to my queue. Anyone up for a pre-end-of-the-world-battle meet-cute?

I dunno if this has been talked about but what's your favourite dinosaur and why?
I've answered it before, but this blog is a decade old so why not do it again!
Maiasaura is my favorite dinosaur species! It was a foundational discovery in understanding complex behavior in dinosaurs during the dinosaur renaissance, and has since been an amazing model system (something nonavian dinosaurs don't have a lot of) for understanding dinosaur growth and life history. It's also an objective cutie patootie.
Second favorite overall is Ravens because they're ridiculously interesting and intelligent animals and I'm, personally, ready for them to take over the Earth from us. I welcome our Corvid Overlords. Also, they're super cutie patooties!!!! the way they play and talk and interact is adorbs!!!
Second favorite nonavian is Kulindadromeus (my prof pic!) because, like Maiasaura, it advanced our understanding of the complexity of dinosaurian evolution - specifically filamentous integument and the evolution of feathers. Kulindadromeus shows that it is likely protofeathers, inclusive of pycnofibres, are ancestral for Ornithodira. This plus the complexity of the feathers known from Tapejara showcase that feathers are a feature commonly found in Ornithodirans, not unique to the ones closest to birds. It also is a fricken cutie patootie and objectively the one we all want as a pet: roughly large-dog sized, herbivore, FLUFFY. it's like having a sheep crossed with a bird as a pet. who doesn't want this.
third favorite is a five-way tie between my individual pet birds, Ahsoka (cockatiel) Minerva (cockatiel) Ellie (my ESA, green cheek conure) Aurora (hybrid conure) and Willis (nanday conure)
