Fantasy concept: a world in which dinosaurs survived and coexist with humans, but only some of the smaller ones
they’re mostly harmless to people (although some of the more predatory ones might occasionally eat a small pet) so people feed them and keep them as pets
Some of them are smarter than dogs and cats and can use simple tools
People tend to underestimate the commitment it takes to have a pet dinosaur
In cities you sometimes find them scavenging roadkill and eating out of dumpsters
Dinosaur meat is very much a thing, you can get dinosaur nuggets at the grocery store made with actual dinosaur
There are also some traditions that use them as working animals for hunting, kinda like hunting dogs
There are a lot of dinosaur enthusiasts who go looking for dinosaurs and keep track of the species they’ve seen as a hobby
Anybody living somewhere other than a big city probably wakes up to dinosaur calls in the morning
In temperate areas you get big migrations with the changing seasons, a draw for the dinosaur enthusiasts
Like any other wildlife, at least some species can be a nuisance, people might like seeing dinosaurs roaming around their suburban neighborhood until they start pooping on everything and nesting in the garage
But they help keep the descendants of those giant Carboniferous bugs from getting out of hand
SORRY FOR THE VERY PERSONAL COMIC!!
This is my half of “Unhealthy”, an essay comic double header with the lovely and talented Sarah Winifred Searle. She and I both wrote about our personal experiences as overweight ladies with eating disorders, and her story is breathtaking!

The costume features long brown “wings” attached to the back of their shirt, an oval with a black pattern on it representing a cockroach’s pronotum covering the back of their neck, and a headband with long orange “antennae.” End ID.]

Your quest was to find a demon willing to accept your deal, none of them said yes. “Primordial demons don’t make deals, if you go too deep, just turn back” but you went deeper and deeper, meeting the ancient ones that knew no words.
Frisk and Chara my autistic body-sharing blorbos let’s goooo
I feel like lots of people are forgetting about how queer readings of media has always been gay culture. It's broadened out to headcannons and AUs and such. I feel that usually when someone expresses their personal queer reading of a character who was never written to be queer there is always backlash and lots of hate to that person.
The Office could be read as a lesbian love story between a dyke and the best friend she's in love with who's already engaged to a man. Many sapphics find Jim Halpert's situation relatable and has drawn Jim as a lesbian. There are paragraphs and fanfictions that explain the queerness they see in Jim Halpert. Yes the reality is that Jim Halpert is just a cishet white boy who's an ok person. People who hate on these queer readings are usually ignorant.
The thing is I don't think that queer readings and headcannons only come from a desire for representation. I think it's a from of self expression.
Usually when people talk about queer rep and queerbait its in the context of television, cartoons, and books. It's the marketable representation. Authentic queerness in art comes from the sheer desire to express and dream and imagination. Imagination is a wonderful thing!!
Let queer people have their headcannons. Let people draw characters as a ethnicity and race that's different from canon. Let disabled artists people draw and write their favorite characters as disabled.
How dare people insert themselves in media and feel joy. You're a bully if you think that's cringe and you need to grow the fuck up

Hi, we're the River System! Katlyn (she/they) and Jacob (he/him). Came for the fandoms, stayed for the off-the-wall and the cringe. 22, autistic (language abled and low support needs), Environmental Biology major. Actual Mad Scientists ;) [We do science and don't do sanity!] Mostly this is Katlyn obsessing over bugs and fandoms (Undertale, Hollow Knight, Little Nightmares, Fire Emblem: Awakening, RWBY, Arcane). Also may include photography, dark aesthetics, and general chaos from Jacob. (Cover photo by Sagar Patil on Unsplash)
