Is there a way to figure out what colour the eggs of diffedent dinosaurs were? And could it be possible that some extinct dinosaurs laid eggs in the nests of other species like modern cuckoo does?

albertonykus:

Yes! The original coloration of fossil dinosaur eggs can be inferred by looking for chemical traces of the original pigmentation. In a paper published earlier this year, it was discovered that sauropods and ornithischians likely had unpigmented (white) eggs, but most Mesozoic pennaraptoran theropods had pigmented (blue, brown, or speckled) eggs. This makes sense, because pennaraptors were likely the dinosaurs that started making nests in which the eggs were partially exposed instead of fully buried, so there would be a function for pigmented eggs (e.g.: camouflage or signalling).

As for laying eggs in the nests of other dinosaurs, it is possible but there is no direct evidence of such behavior in Mesozoic dinosaurs as of yet. (No, the discovery of juvenile troodont skulls in an oviraptorid nest is probably not an example of this.)

Remember that time all the Pokemon just ate good-ass looking food in the middle of the forest and got drunk.

bulbasaur’s gonna fuck some shit up

The idea that pokemon drink alcohol like weathered 6 am to midnight office workers is one of those layers of the pokemon world it would be interesting to have back

Pretty sure this scene got cut out in the English airing.

Today’s aesthetic: negotiating the tension between the stark truth that any form of centralised bureaucracy unavoidably invites and facilitates the abuse of power, and the fact that a great many people’s day-to-day survival depends on institutions and infrastructures that can only be provided by a centralised bureaucracy, to the extent that suggesting we can do without those infrastructures constitutes a suggestion that we can do without those people.

Sweet Bee

I don’t know whether I want Sweet Bee to just be a natural bee person, a magical transhumanist like her toy bio, or not even necessarily a princess but have enough soft political power to get invited to Princess Prom. (More than just princesses were invited from what we can see, but it appears princesses have more diplomatic immunity.)

Also she was apparently a space pilot in the original show rather than a princess, which is awesome.

I want Adora accidentally uplifting animals to be a running gag

Bring back Enchanta

Originally I thought they should base her more on how terrifying real swans are.

But then I thought it would be funny and more fitting if she’s always apologizing to everyone she attacked as as normal swan, and everyone is just shocked at how many people in so many different lands she has assaulted. 

Make the swan a repentant former criminal
