Meme transcription:

Predators in nature

[Superimposed over an image of a tiger] I stalk my prey for hours before I make a sudden attack

[Superimposed over an image of a camouflaging octopus] I blend in with my surroundings to become invisible for my prey

[Superimposed over an owl in flight] I grow specialized feathers to muffle any sound I make during flight

Predators in movies

[Superimposed over a still from the 1990 movie Jurassic Park showing a screaming Tyrannosaurus Rex] Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!

I have no idea if this is satire or not but I unironically love both the idea of your dinosaur character(?) and that YouTube clip.

Do you have art/bio for your sona? If I ever play D&D again this may well inspire me to update my Dragonborn bard to have feathers. /gen

It's half satire. I honestly didn't get to watch Jurassic Park as a kid because my parents knew I loved dinosaurs, but also that I was also a very timid child. As a result, I didn't get to watch it because they thought it might scare me away from my love of dinosaurs (other things in my life caused me to lose interest anyway, but I'm slowly rekindling it). Now, I honestly struggle to enjoy dinosaur media that doesn't portray them with feathers. Beautiful and terrifying is, imo, vastly superior to "I'M HERE TO SCARE".

The furry flavor was mainly for fun.

Also, kinda. I'm working on updating her design, but here's a fairly old screenshot of my VRC avatar.

If you'd like, I could recommend some e621/e926 tags and artwork. Be warned that you will get lewd stuff on e621 if I just give you tags, but you could use e926 with the same tags if you don't wanna get blasted by uncensored cloaca (e926 is literally just a front end for e621 that forces the safe filter on).

That’s fair. I watched JP when I was 6 and had themed nightmares for a while, so your parents were probably right. That said, I still loved the movie anyway and also still loved dinosaurs so you may have been similar if you were super into them.

Yeah the discovery of dino feathers changed the game. Ultra-giant pissed off birds is way more imaginable, too. Take a territorial chicken or emu and make it the size of a rhino? That’s a horror movie.

Oh she’s adorable! I love her 💚 I’d love SFW art/tags, thank you so much.
