oh my god I didn't even realize I drew and posted this during pride 10/10 gay moment

Another MLP AU like Im not totally behind on posting for my other one lol

Woke up one morning thinking about how stupid it is that Luna retires with Celestia (nevermind that suddenly retiring like that is totally out of character for both of them imo), and couldn't stop thinking about a mini au where Luna steps into the main ruling role when her sister retires. This drawing is supposed to be a framed photo you might find on their desks, a commemorative picture taken after their honeymoon before they have to return to their duties.

Details under the cut!

Twilight gets a slower and more supported introduction to leadership, she takes over most of Celestia's day-to-day duties and streamlines a lot of it bc Twilight is just Like That, and being in such proximity brings Luna and Twilight closer together, eventually falling in love and marrying.

So they rule equestria together and Celestia fucks off to go backpacking across equestria or smt bc really? a retirement home?? so not her FiM, smh. In this au Celestia still raises the sun, she can't just hand that off unless she gives up all of her magic. She's still the alicorn of the sun, just no more royal duties.

Some notes:

-I made Twi's mantle thing black to match Luna's, her horn ring is also black (in my au rings are a unicorn thing and married unicorns always wear them not just for the ceremony).

-The gems on Twi's crown represent her friends.

-Spike is totally Twi's adopted son I am a firm mom Twilight believer, it's not relevant to this drawing but I might continue this au who knows!

-I expanded Luna's dark patch bc I think the butt patch is a little stupid. Also I think alicorns traditionally open their wings for photos and portraits but Twilight still feels a little weird about having wings and would rather have a more unicorn silhouette.

-In my sketch they both had their canon designs but trying to seriously draw Twilight's hair pissed me off for like a whole hour so I gave up and did a mild redesign, I actually used the same hairstyle I gave her in my other AU bc I do think it suits her!

-All the love and light Twilight receives as part of the ruling diarchy has boosted her magic levels, her hair is floaty now too, the braids are mostly functional to lock it down, the loose ends still flow as much as they can

Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.

Day 19: Reverse Siege

People are wandering the streets with strange fuzzy growths on them, they look awful and smell even worse. They ignore her for the most part but one has planted themself in her yard and Felil can't get past them to the door. Mostly they just sit there, orifices bleeding (especially their mouth), looking miserable.

She would feel worse for them if they didn't snarl and snap at her every time she tried to slip past to go inside. It's been two days, her sister who lives a few hundred miles away looks like a better option the longer Felil spends anxiously pacing the sidewalk across the street.

She's going to try a few more times, if she can't get in soon she's just going to cut her losses and start walking.

God I love Raptors In The Rainforest, I was looking it up for something and happened across this post which again made me wonder why like nobody seems to have read it or be talking about it it's so incredible

(there's been another fic added since this post to officially end the series if anyone's wondering!)

fic rec! This is actually a series, with the whole thing coming in at 292K.

Summary: How intelligent are velociraptors? Very, very intelligent, as Owen Grady discovers in the aftermath of the Jurassic World disaster.  But his quest to prove their intelligence and save his raptors will take him further than he ever expected, and the world will never be the same again.

Comments: I went searching for a fic to loose myself in, and lost myself for probably a week in this series. I will probably reread this all in a few years, it’s amazing on so many levels.

Let’s be honest, in the JW movies what we really like is the cool moments between Owen and the raptors. This series makes the movies look dumb - because this takes all those cool moments and ramps them up. We start with riding a bike alongside raptors, move to a raptor cavalry, and finish with dino detectives. It’s GLORIOUS.

This series starts out with the realization that not only are raptors intelligent, they’re sapient, and in the aftermath of the JW movie Blue decides that she’s never going to allow her people to be put into cages again. This story is an epic about the realization that raptors should be treated equal to humans and the struggle to get there. It involves lots of action adventures, kidnapping, arson, and…what I can only describe as romantic-only monster poly relationships. Like, raptors socially bond with humans for life (romantic only or QPR, take your pick) but they each totally also have relations on the side with others of their species. Blue asking Owen for his opinion on an egg-father is amazing.

I love how detailed and well-thought out the raptor culture is and how there’s a lot of layers to it. They hang off of Alan Grant’s every word, eager to learn about their old society, even while committing to building a different world where they live among humans. There’s different body languages, different body language capabilities, different point of views, even subtle differences in the cadences of their language.

Plus, again, this is just a cool story. I want to see it animated. Illustrated.

my boy the indoraptor

in this house we don’t say “that character is dead”. we say “they’re wounded but they’re alive and are on their way towards making a full recovery on archive of our own fix-it fics”

mine is a pleasant sepia tone with green accents :)

after almost decade of using AO3, i have just found out that you can put it on dark mode.

NO MORE BEING BLINDED BY FICS

edit: in case you didn’t see the comments, i’ve made a post about how to do this

I agree, you make a fine point for the most part

But.

When the first trilogy was made, there was an effort to design the dinosaurs realistically given the information they had at the time which now is outdated by decades and I have no qualms with this.

My personal problem is that JW didn't even pretend to do that at any point, in Dominion they even showed what they claimed to be nearly pure clone dinosaurs and they still had all the same problems just with some feathers this time and don't even get me started on the giganotosaurus, it looks like a giant vacuum sealed acrocanthosaurus >:|

My rant abt Jurassic park/world hate for inaccurate dinosaurs:

Tl;dr: Yes, the dinosaurs are inaccurate. That’s the entire point, they’re genetically spliced and it’s repeatedly brought up and mentioned, and examples of it are explicitly shown. It’s not a fault on the show or book, it’s literally the plot.

Did you even watch the movie or read the book

To be fair, the first movies didn’t make it too painfully obvious, but the books did a better job showing it, and Jurassic world 1 literally spat it in your face with lines like “that thing out there, that’s no dinosaur”, and the entire conversation about all the genetic splicing they did with the Indominus rex that basically gave it superpowers

Of course these dinosaurs aren’t accurate, they were never meant to be. They’re theme-park monsters. They’re spliced with stuff like frogs and lizards etc. it’s the entire story. As dr Henry wu said (from memory) “if these animals were pure many of them would look quite different, but you didn’t ask for reality, you asked for more teeth”. They’re literally canonically making the dinosaurs moreso to represent what people want to see, and expect, rather than what was true.

In the first book, Dr Henry wu and John Hammond even had an argument about this, with the sauropods. The sauropods were alert, and aware, and not slow moving and dull, like real animals, and Henry Wu was trying to tell John Hammond to change them to be more slow and dim to suit people’s expectations better. And from the film, the dinos are literally ripping abilities like sex change from the genes they’re spliced with.

NOTHING hints that these are remotely meant to represent actual dinosaurs, except for the fact they’re named them. That’s like the entire sub-plot.

And, in the newest film, where they were actually, y’know, making dinos again, with more advanced tech where they were actually trying to make real dinos for science, they made more realistic dinos! Boom!

Just annoys me when ppl are complaining about inaccuracy in the dinos: you buffoon, that’s the whole point. Buuuuuut it is a good convo starter with people who don’t know dinosaurs. “Hey did u know the raptors in Jurassic park have broken wrists?” “What.”

And I mean, ignoring the whole fact of it being part of the story, the first movie wasn’t made when accurate designs were known properly. They can’t just suddenly massively redesign the centrepieces of the show for no reason. They had a chance to change it for accuracy in JW1 cause they could say they made all new dinos, but it equally makes sense that they’re still making dinos similarly to the first park. Especially considering the amount of dinos they appear to have re-captured and used, like Rexy

Plus is it the end of the world to watch our fun lil nostalgic dinosaurs look cool and be badass, whether it’s accurate or not?
