I’m gonna share with you all some of my most favorite Dinos! They are all precious little babies and I love them more than anything in the world. And I wish I could give them all a hug and a forehead kiss and little snuggles.
The obvious is velociraptors! I don’t think I have to show you what those look like, lol.
Carnotaurus:
These bad boys were Theropods! They lived in South America around the late cretaceous period. They were carnivorous and suspected to be one of the fastest large theropods that ever lived.
Therizinosaurus:
Also a member of the late cretaceous period, Therizionsaurs' were a large genus of Therizinosauridae. They lived in the Asia area. Their most distinctive feature would be their gigantic claws. They adapted to live an omnivorous lifestyle.
Ceratosaurus:
These fellas were carnivorous theropods in the late Jurassic Period. They had a larger horn in the middle of their snots, and two smaller horns over their eyes. It was unlikely their nasal horns were used as weapons, but more as a display to seem more threading. They likely preyed on herbivores.
Baryonyx:
Back to the early cretaceous period, baby! Specifically the Barremian stage of the cretaceous period. Another species of theropod, the first skeleton was discovered in England. Baryonyx means “heavy claw” and these beasts are now recognised in the Spinosauridae family. They were the first dinosaur discovered to be fish-eating, and they had semi-aquatic habits.
Linhenykus:
Fancy, fancy, these are Alvarezsaurid theropods, also belonging to the late cretaceous period, found in Mongolia, China! They are the only known non-avian dinosaurs to have a single digit, aka one finger. They were small-bodied and would use their “finger” to dig for things like ants and termites. I just love how derpy they look with their little fingers.
Gigantoraptor:
Finally a non-theropod, we have an oviraptorosaur on our list. Found in Asia in the late cretaceous period, the first remains were found as recently as 2005! They were less likely to have grown feathers than other raptor species. They were bipedal omnivores and died younger than other larger theropods. The bottom half of their beaks were lacking in teeth.
Jeholopterus:
Back in the late Jurassic period, we have these small anurognathid pterosaurs. They were also found in Mongolia, China and were preserved with the skin! That’s crazy! Originally considered to be insect-eating, they also preyed upon fish and even omnivores They were nicknamed “Vampire Dinosaurs” Because they drank the blood of the other dinosaurs. I think it’s obvious why I enjoy them.
Spinosaurus:
Their name literally means “Spiney Lizard” which makes them certified babies in my book. And what do you know, they are classified as Spinosaurids. They were in the North African area, during the Cenomanian and Turonian stages of the late cretaceous period. They are the largest know terrestrial dinosaurs! They were fish-eating and also hunted terrestrial prey. Obviously, their most well-known feature was their Spines, and they were so pretty! Their high bone density allowed for better buoyancy, and their tails allowed for faster propulsion underwater. Their dorsal sails were used for thermoregulation, but it's unknown whether they were also used to intimidate other predators or to draw in mates. I give them ten “spiney boys” out of ten!
Quetzalcoatlus:
Similar to the word: hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia, Quetzalcoatlus, is just really fun to say. Great vocal stim! They were Pterosaurs found in North America during the late cretaceous period. They’re members of the Azhdarchidae family, which are toothless pterosaurs with long, stiff necks. They ate fish and carcasses of titanosaur sauropods. They were INSANELY tall, like freakishly so. As much as I love their funny-looking heads, this is a dino I would run the other way from if it approached me. In fact, I think I’d be more scared of most pterosaurs than any other predator front that time period, because what the fuck?
Ichthyosaurs:
And last, but certainly not least, because this app only allows ten photos per post, we have these little ocean boys. Onto the only reptile on my list, they were found during the Mesozoic era of the late cretaceous period. Their skeletons were first found in Egland. They look most similar to modern-day dolphins. Which, I am terrified of those little fuckers by the way, no not the ancient distinct reptiles, fucking dolphins! Rode one once, never again. This is another species I like solely for its looks, it's so dumb-looking and I want a plushie of them.
Did I just spend way too much time basically writing a mini-essay on dinosaurs? Maybe? Should I be asleep right now? My therapist would say yes. Am I now gonna go watch video essays on more dinosaurs to finish calming down my brain for the night? Yes again! I also forgot to eat dinner tonight because I was so upset, so I'm gonna et up and make dinner for breakfast in the morning, so I can have something more nutritious than cereal. Let me know if you guys wanna hear about more Dinos or my other special interests!

Prompt 41
Hear me out, DP and DC crossover where Scarecrow is cousins with the Fentons.
His mother was siblings with Jack’s father, and both Jazz and Danny met ‘Uncle Jonathan’ during one of the many Fenton-Nightingale family reunions that happens every few years. Honestly, perhaps it’s what gets Jazz interested in psychology, hearing from her ‘uncle’ about fear and its effects.
And honestly once they start having to deal with ghosts and having had to deal with their parents for years it’s not really hard to talk with their uncle. Crane still doesn’t know how he became these kids’ favorite uncle, or even all of the family kids’ favorite uncle-cousin, but that’s just how the family is.
Really he’s not even the only villain of the family, with both Jack and Maddie being close but not quite, even if they’re definitely mad scientists. Their son becoming a local hero, even if they’re not aware of that fact, is just ironic.
John knows. The two kids told him when they found out that Danny may or may not need to feed on fear now that he’s half ghost, and well he’s the specialist about the emotion so…
At least they have someone to stay with when Jazz goes to Gotham university and brings Danny with her, even if the local vigilantes are concerned as to why Scarecrow attacks have suddenly took a nosedive…

Writing this at ass o’clock in the morning so excuse any incoherency but I can’t stop thinking about how important it is (for me personally) to view/headcanon qFit as entirely perfectly 100% human, and by extension, qCellbit as well.
Like I’m sure ppl have talked about it before but there’s just something so intriguing about having FitMC be Just Some Guy who was hardened by the Wasteland, sculpted by the atrocities he witnessed and committed, no claws or wings or horns or tails to help him. No extra arms for when he lost a limb, no enhanced hearing to make up for his damaged eardrums, no tough scales for when explosions melted his skin, no powerful hybrid instincts to guide him through his life. He is doing everything (hurting, helping, building, tearing, creating, destroying, strangling, soothing, hating, loving, killing, healing) with nothing but his one human hand, which he’s hardened with callouses until it became a set of claws in its own right. He’s been guided by a gut feeling for over ten years now, because it’s all he’s got.
Now. qCellbit. I love cat hybrid qCellbit soooo much, don’t get me wrong. When I think of qCellbit or when I’m writing him, he’s usually a cat hybrid. But just like with Fit, choosing to view qcellbit as 100% human is just as enriching. Small little kid, defenseless and soft and alone, thrown into a warzone. Had to eat his own kind and kill with his teeth and nails and bare hands to survive. Became the most feared thing within the prison walls. Had to learn late in his life how to be a “normal” person in society, something that takes so much time and effort and therapy that sometimes he doesn’t think he is a person. On his bad days, and even on some of his good ones, he views himself as less than human, a creature incapable of loving and being loved. He looks at his hands—tender, naked flesh and blunt nails, ten fingers and two palms—and still sees the claws of a monster.
