The majority of my followers right now are porn bots.

I just want them to know, that they are going to get absolutely nothing out of following me. I'm not gonna interact with them.

Higher follower count for me, I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My friends I've decided I absolutely need I sinosauropteryx plush, but unfortunately I've no idea where to get one. Either I've gotta play the waiting game and hope someone turns my favorite dino into a plushie, or I need to figure out how to make plushies and make one myself.

College is kicking my ass and I hate it ❤️

You know, sometimes I forget I have a Tumblr account.

New piece- she's my mushroom gal, might name her Psyche.

Bit of context behind her--

So, my minecraft skin I usually use is a red mushroom person (made by me).

Lately though, in my modded server with my friends, I've been on a bit of a dark theme with my builds and my pets- crows, black dragons, raccoons, and I'm nearly done with a dark tower for enchantments and potions.

So, I'm considering making a NEW skin of a dark mushroom person, and redoing my house a little bit to fit the theme.

Fun times :)

So, we know modern domesticated, (and even some wild!) animals enjoy being petted.

The question is. How far back in the history of evolution does this trait go?

What dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals would have loved a good head rub?? Which ones would have flopped over for some under-the-chin scritches??? Would some of them have headbutted you to ask for more affection like a cat??? Did some make happy sounds, like purring???

This is information I need. I need to know. Animals today exhibit these behaviors so it's pretty likely they could have done so in the past too!!

The idea of them being affectionate towards each other as well (as opposed to how they're often portrayed hunting/fighting/being scary) makes me happy too. I desperately wish we could see how they behaved.

I wonder how many eras of Earth's natural history have been completely lost just because they didn't make a visible mark on the planet.

I wonder how many species have been forever lost to time only because they never fossilized or left behind and traces of their existence.

Who knows what incredible, terrifying, or seemingly alien forms of life once called this planet home, that we'll never know once existed?

Ancient life is incredible. It makes me sad to know that so many species of flora and fauna and everything in between will never be known. Things so odd they seem straight out of movies.

Life and evolution are just so incredible, and deserve so much more appreciation than they get.

Got my first ask in my inbox and it was a bot :(

This is my new sona, Ida! She's a brown domestic cat, themed around mushrooms.

She's a soft, cuddly cat who loves physical contact (hugs and holding hands and all that with friends are absolutely adored). She's not the best with talking sometimes (hah anxiety) but she tries nonetheless.

Her hands can be drawn more paw-like or more hand-like, the mushrooms on her tail don't have a set pattern so they can be drawn in any arrangement as long as they're generally on the base, and her body type is reflective of mine, so she'll always be drawn with a slight amount of body fat. I might even draw some outfits for her.

Hoping she sticks around :)

Trying, yet again, to make myself a sona that really feels like me. I'm only finished with the lineart portion of the ref sheet, and a couple days into sketching her, haven't even added color yet, and I'm already feeling a bit off about her. Like something isn't quite right, and there's some sort of disconnect.

I really don't know how people come up with characters that represent them, and they're able to keep drawing & connecting with that character for years.

I've tried several times. Karma (ngl I forgot she existed), Mash, Eden, and I'm sure several different test sketches that came even before Karma, yet I lost my connection to all of them before long.

I'm so hungry. But. My cat is on my lap.

I'm legally not allowed to get up to go get food.

Please keep Sprigatito's paws on the floor <3

Anyway this is the first comic I've really tried to make! I've had ideas before, just never did anything with em. I want to try making more, I just need to figure out formatting and ideas and all that.

Feel free to comment some constructive criticism :)

It is once again that time where I re-realize that dinosaurs aren't just cool creatures in the media, they're literally animals that used to exist in the past, and they weren't monsters or anything, they were just animals.

Not fantasy or anything. Nothing special. Cause they actually existed at some point in time. Just animals.

They seem so foreign and alien to think about, but really this earth belonged to them just as much as it belongs to us now. We stand on the same big rock that they did millions and millions of years ago.

We drink the same water. Breathe the same air.

Amazing.

I love them.

If you are somewhat interested in paleontology, reblog and put in the tags your favorite prehistoric creatures and/or fossils you love the most.

Y'know, I think horror based on things that are childish and cutesy is great. Like, taking something that's supposed to be friendly and spreading happiness and twisting it to be horrible and bad is so cool.

Five Nights at Freddy's? Took a wonderland with goofy friendly talking animals and made them possessed and murderous.

Bendy and the Ink Machine? I know nothing about it but they have those funky lil ink mascots which look pretty friendly but They're Not.

Poppy Playtime? I don't know much about it, but they turned that big tall cute blue boi and turned him into some sort of killer defense system. Killer toys.

Then there's a newer one, My Friendly Neighborhood? Took muppets and made them murderous.

My favorite kind of horror. I love it. Give me more.

Well, I eventually got to sleep, but not at a reasonable hour and not after my nose bleeding.

Anyway it's late and I should be asleep. But unfortunately my brain gave me an idea and my thoughts were moving too fast to rest, so one incredibly poor sketch and a rabbit hole later, here I am.

How is everyone else's night going?

The problem with these is, they take energy. And right now it feels like I've got none. Or at least I feel incapable of dedicating energy to working on things and creating.

I want to create and to do, but I've got no motivation.

I hope that changes in the future.

There's like, so many things I wanna do in life.

I want to find fossils and prep them for display.

I want to write a children's book.

I want to make my own comic.

I want to write my own novels.

I want to try voice acting.

I want to try acting acting.

I want to make ceramics.

Why does there have to be so many interesting things you can do in life, so many things that I wanna try, but I still can't settle on an actual career???

I've got so many questions I wanna ask professional paleontologists but I don't know if I should ask them here, or if they'll even get seen or even answered. Might post them anyway later. Hopefully there's some experts on this site that can spare a moment of time :')

The thought that dinosaurs and other prehistoric life forms were at one point truly alive and roaming the earth and just behaving no different from any other living thing today just makes me so happy.

I don't even know if happy is the right word, I just couldn't possibly describe the type of amazement I get from thinking about it, I can't put words to it.

Like, these were real living creatures, they aren't from fantasy or mythology.

They breathed and ate and slept and did all sorts of normal animal things, because they were normal! Not some bloodthirsty monsters, they just did what they had to to survive, just like modern day animals.

Looking at the fossils I have in my collection and really thinking about it just amazes me. My little fish, at one point, was swimming around in the water with all the other fish, except this was millions of years ago. It's a little piece of the past, frozen in time, letting people today have even just the smallest glimpse of things that happened so long ago that we'd otherwise have no idea about.

It just, amazes me that at one point, all these creatures that, by comparison to today's life, are so strange or creepy or alien or whatever were once just the norm. It wouldn't be out of the ordinary to see a huge beast of a reptile looming ominously in a forest, or a flying creature far more deadly looking than today's birds of prey soaring through the air, or just, whatever the hell was going on in the Cambrian period, and it was all normal.

I know I'm just repeating myself a lot but wow I just get all sorts of feelings when I think about this stuff

Fuck man the past is so cool

You guys seemed to like my last sino, so I sketched some more :)

Low effort sino. Objectively the most important part of my French notes.

Had no references or anything, my teacher would smite me for looking something up in the middle of a lesson

I would love to make and sell adoptable OC designs

But

The problem is

I get so attached :')

I have so many OCs just chilling and gathering dust, because I love to design them, and get too attached to sell but not obsessed enough to draw them a lot

Oh how I desperately want to time travel not to change the past, but to just see the dinosaurs and watch the earth change and evolve over billions of years

I fused my OC Drasil with the pokemon Goodra. Ultimate comfort character has been created. All hail Goodrasil.

It took entirely too long and too much patience to complete this, but I'm really proud of how it came out! Did a lot of playing around with shading and lighting, and I love how it looks. Clearly it's not perfect (the fuckn flowers lol), but I'm still stoked about it. Progress!!!!

All dinosaurs say trans rights

I really don't understand why people do this
