On the topic of video game dinos: thoughts on the Pokémon based on extinct dinosaurs? (not just fossil, some dino mons aren’t fossils) They are fantasy creatures, so they aren’t necessarily subject to scientific accuracy, but I’d still be interested to hear your thoughts on them!

so like, I've never got into pokemon, I liked it when everyone did at the start but I started getting annoyed that people were obsessed with frankly uncreative fake animals when real life was so diverse and crazy and ignored. yes, I *am* that annoying of a person

but! I am married to one of the biggest pokemon fans ever! so I am tagging him in! @plokool

that said I like that one of the tyrannosaur pokemon has feathers. A+

Tyrantrum is such a cool design, and I really like Aurorus and Amaura too. I'm very happy that Archen and Archeops exist. I find the Gen IV fossils a little boring but not bad. Meanwhile I don't care for the Gen VIII fossils. I get the intention, reflecting the early mistakes of paleontology, but I was really hoping for a duo based on Iguanodon and Megalosaurus. As for ones based on dinos outside of fossils, I'm sure I'm forgetting some but off the top of my head. Obviously Tyranitar is based more on things like Godzilla than a real modern T. rex, but it's a neat design given that inspiration and it has a cool retrosaur feel. I actually kind of like that they gave Baxcalibur the same treatment, since it's a creative way to avoid the confusion about what Spinosaurus looked like. Plus they combined my favorite dinosaur and type so I can't complain. Tropius is just...odd overall. Not bad, just weird. Banana tree sauropod that can also fly? I'm sure there are more that I'm just blanking on right now because there are so many Pokémon and I've had a long day, but feel free to ask if there's anything specific.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the gen 3 fossils and the not-quite fossil Relicanth, if that's alright

Anonymous asked:

what’s ur favourite extinct arthropod? 👀

this is a weird answer, but its a tie between the last few trilobite species in the last age of the Permian (two different Acropyge species and a handful of Pseudophillipsia species). They aren't particularly visually interesting for trilobites, or weird or anything like that. But they're the last of a dying breed. They're a dead clade walking. And they're the remnants of one of the greatest groups of organisms to ever exist. the fact that they clung to existence through two major mass extinctions previously. The fact that they were still around at all. But couldn't survive the great dying.

I love them. I love them for their tragedy.
