When a Character Is Grieving Someone They Never Got to Say Goodbye To

✧ They talk about the person in past tense… then correct themselves. Then stop talking entirely.

✧ They touch things that belonged to the person like they’re fragile, sacred, about to disappear.

✧ They hoard the last voicemail, last message, last anything. Play it. Don’t play it. Just knowing it exists hurts enough.

✧ They leave something untouched, an empty seat, a half-packed bag, a coffee order that isn’t theirs.

✧ They get irrationally angry when someone else seems to be “moving on.” As if forgetting is betrayal.

✧ They don’t let themselves cry all at once. It comes in pieces. Like they’re afraid too much grief will drown them.

✧ They over-apologize. For being quiet. For being distant. For not being okay.

✧ They become hyper-aware of time, dates, anniversaries, time zones, the exact moment everything ended.

✧ They get superstitious. Ritualistic. As if doing things "right" might reverse something.

✧ They smile when they talk about the person. But it’s brittle. And it never quite touches their eyes.

Because I saw nobody else has done something like this, I did a Godzilla / Prehistoric Planet 2 mashup! Specifically, I put Akira ifikube music into the Quetzalcoatlus vs. T.rex fight.

I used a variation of the Godzilla vs. Rodan theme from Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla 2 and speeded it up. I

Dinovember 2024: Children of the Lizard King

For Dinovember, a tribute to the one, and only, Tyrannosaurus rex.

A creature whose impact on pop culture is SO prevalent, it's basically an ambassador species to the field of Paleontology.

From King Kong, to The Land before Time, to Jurassic Park, to Prehistoric Planet, there has been SO many interpretations of the dinosaur, and creatures that took influence FROM Tyrannosaurus rex, I could have filled the entire page with more, but I had to stop at 65 so that the flow and composition of the piece would work.

See if your favorite T.rex or T.rex inspired critter is here!

And of course, a special shout out to @tyrantisterror , whose big green fella up top helped inspire me to continue doing art!

Top 4 fellas get made into a limited batch of keychains! I won’t be able to make a ton of these guys until later, but I do plan to make more eventually…

Please reblog so we get a high percentage! And also spread the word about these things the faster they sell out the more I’ll make 👍

Various sketches I’ve made of some Cretaceous dinosaurs, including conceptual studies of Triceratops and T.rex. The Edmontosaurus sketch is based off the well-preserved Dakota specimen and the throat pouch of the male T.rex is inspired by one that was once found on a Tarbosaurus specimen.
