Really Not Beating The Nerd Allegations With My Fossil Collection, Huh? If It Helps, I Also Play D&D

Really not beating the nerd allegations with my fossil collection, huh? If it helps, I also play D&D - wait. Wait no. That makes it even more obvious that I’m a nerd.

Adding this to those transmasc/transfem anthro lion siblings I made a while back

movie with a twins crossdressing/swapping identities plot but both siblings have to stop at some point and have a serious discussion because they both realized they’re trans and they need to figure out if this means they should just a) swap identities forever and transition in secret but as a different person or b) give up the act and just transition normal style

Why are my knees like this? Can they stop being like this please?

Allosaurus fragilis middle toe claw replica. Cast of a fossil found in the Morrison formation at the Cleveland-Lloyd Quarry in central Utah. The real fossil is somewhere between 156 to 130 million years old.

[Image ID: A large, curved claw roughly 4 inches in length. It is gray-brown in color and has a socket where the toe bone would attach. In the opposite side, it curves into a sharp point. End ID]

Please let me know if I’m doing the image description incorrectly and/or what I could add to improve it.

I love dinosaurs. I love how I went from taking “Jurassic Park” as fact, to learning about how inaccurate it is, to reading the (equally inaccurate) novel. I’ve been collecting dinosaur figurines for years and have become increasingly picky with the accuracy and quality of them. I went from figurines to nonfiction books about dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals, to collecting fossil replicas, to having a very small collection of real fossils (which I will never stop bragging about).

I am the “autistic person who never grew out of the dinosaur phase” stereotype. And I’m damn proud of it.

And if anyone cares to know, my favorite species include Allosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Suchomimus, Utahraptor, and Spinosaurus (whatever that one actually looked like).

Also, if anyone can tell me where to find a good quality Utahraptor claw replica, please tell me.

So, you’re telling me that there are people in this world who wake up feeling rested? Whose joints might be slightly stiff in the morning, but end up feeling okay later in the day? People who aren’t in pain all the time?

I don’t believe that. They must be faking being “okay.” I simply cannot fathom the idea of feeling like that.
