Okay, don't get me wrong here. I LOVE Jurassic Park. I love seeing their dinosaurs. But after watching Prehistoric Planet, and going back to look at this...
And then looking at this...
Notice how much healthier the second set looks? Their lips cover their teeth, they actually have fat on their bodies, their skin doesn't wrinkle like they're dehydrated. You can't see every single tendon and muscle move because you aren't supposed to. Dinosaurs are animals, not reptilian body-builders.
THIS is the kind of change I want to see in how we create realistic depictions of not only dinosaurs, but all prehistoric creatures. Paleoart has always had a huge issue with shrink-wrapping and making these animals look terrifying instead of making them look like, well, animals.
Well done, BBC.
The batfam trauma candy salad would go absolutely insane.
Dick: Hi. I'm Dick Grayson and when I was 8 I watched my parents fall to their death in front of me, then I had to move away from everything I love and spend the rest of my life in some weird American city. And I brought the sour gummy worms.
Jason: This is so stupid- my mother used to kick me out when he drug dealer would come over so I didn't see her spending our very small amount of money on drugs.
Steph *off screen*: what did you bring?
Jason: nerds.
Cass: I was raised to be a weapon, a murderer. I brought peach rings.
Steph: I'm Steph and My dad was an alcoholic who thought he could go head to head with batman and outdo the riddler. And I brought Reese's pieces.
Tim: I'm Timothy Drake Wayne and I had left the house to try and find some guy before he killed my dad, just for him to kill my dad when I was gone. I brought sour rainbow strips.
Duke: My parents are in a mental ward, high on joker toxin. No one knows if they'll ever get better. And I got m&m's.
Damian: I am a highly trained assassin and-
Steph: cut. Cut. Damian. Civilian identities. Ok. Restart.
Damian: My mother randomly dropped me on some weird man's doorstep when I was ten. I brought rock candy.
it's beginning to get concerning, dad
prev - next?
Yumehara: Donāt be embarrassed to do things for your crush!
Aiura: Yeah! Whenever Kusuo wants attention he stands around looking clueless until Kuboyasu comes to mansplain to him.
Saiki: I will fucking kill you.
Damian has a jagged scar across his stomach and when the bats see it for the first time they try to unlock his Tragic Backstory about how he got it and Damian just scowls and refuses to speak whenever they bring it up so they all assume its a really sore spot to do with some kind of childhood trauma at the league, until Red Hood shows up in Crime Alley, starts working with the bats, catches wind of this, and mercilessly informs them that when Damian was 8 he insisted on helping him carry some new LOA weapons down the stairs and he tripped and ate shit with a serrated javelin in his hands.
Damian reveals Jason's identity out of spite.
Heās still a kid after all, his attention span can beā¦short
Damian Wayne: Future Gay Disaster for Jonathan Kent
Listen. LISTEN. Damian Wayne isĀ soĀ obviously going to grow up gay for Jon Kent that itās almost embarrassing how no one in the Batfamily is ready for it.
Like, imagine teenage Damianāstill all sharp edges, broody glares, andĀ definitelyĀ still carrying a sword at inappropriate timesātrying to process the fact that hisĀ best friendĀ is alsoĀ absurdly perfect, stupidly strong, and unfairly niceĀ to him at all times.
It starts subtle. Jon smiles at him a little too brightly? Damian short-circuits. Jon picks him upĀ onceĀ during a mission? Damian enters a silent existential crisis and has to sit in the Batcave for three hours justĀ thinkingĀ about it.
Tim figures it out first. He watches Damian refuse to insult Jon for a full five minutes and just mutters,Ā "Oh my god. Heās doomed."
Dick tries to give Damian theĀ "So You Like Boys?"Ā talk, only for Damian to pull out a 12-page essay on how love is a weakness. But the next day, Jon saysĀ oneĀ (1) vaguely affectionate thing, and suddenly Damian is on a rooftop at 3 AM whisperingĀ āLove is a weakness⦠love is a weaknessā¦āĀ like heās trying to cast a spell and make it true.
Meanwhile, Jon? Completely oblivious. Sunshine golden retriever energy, just happy to be there. This boy could literally cradle Damian in his arms while flying him across the city, and heād just be like,Ā āBest friend privileges!āĀ Meanwhile, Damian is holding on for dear life like,Ā "This is where I die. He smells like fresh air and goodness. This is the end."
Eventually, when Damian does realize his feelings, itās going to be aĀ fullĀ Batfamily event. Jason is taking bets. Tim is smug. Dick isĀ way too excited. And Bruce? Heās just staring at Clark across the table, already regrettingĀ everything.
TL;DR: Damian is going to grow up, look at Jon Kent, and have the worst gay panic of his life. And itās going to be hilarious.
Teenage Damian: Father, I have something very important to tell you. Richard has assured me it will not change your view of me, and I am holding you to that.
Bruce, thinking another kid is coming out: of course Damian. You are my kid, that will not change
Damian: *nods and takes a deep breath*
Damian: As you are aware, there has been a concerning increase of bats and they have risked disturbing the signals and various memorabilia due to them
Damian: There are more that are flying or stationing themselves around lower to the ground, and I have overheard you and Gordon wondering if they are diseased or rabid.
Bruce, officially lost: hn
Damian: The reason there's been an uptick of bats inside the main part of the cave is due to me feeding and befriending them
Bruce:
Damian: They prefer kiwi and strawberries
