I like to think of relationship anarchy as the foundation that shapes my understanding of aromantic theory.

It creates an inherently anti-amatonormative setting in which relationships are reevaluated and reconstructed based on the collective needs of the people involved. It's the reason I will always be against strict definitions of relationship types and the implicit requirements that come with that. The only people who can define a relationship and what that relationship entails and which label to give it are the people involved in said relationship. The only way to do that is through effective communication. The only way to fight amatonormative relationship hierarchies is through doing exactly that: discarding societies norms and instead explicitly defining your relationships based on mutual understanding, communication and respect.

Relationship anarchy gives aspec people the freedom to have any type of relationship they desire instead of being locked out of certain levels of intimacy simply because of some societal norm that dictates what you can and can't do based on which label you apply to a relationship.

Call me selfish but I appreciate having a person I talk to throughout most of my day. It’s like we’re having a long conversation that neither of us tires of

Cool Prehistoric Creatures

since I’ve been obsessed with prehistoric animals for the past few days, I’m gonna share several of the coolest ones I’ve found here we goooo

Inostrancevia aka the Goodest Boy.

my fave at present. a genus belonging to the family Gorgonopsidae, which is a family of extinct therapsids. These were the largest members of Gorgonopsidae, weighing 300 kilograms on average. As you can see, it is Lorge. It lived around 250-265 million years ago.

Here he is committing murder of a Scutosaurus with his badass saber teeth.

Despite the fact that this good boy would eat me, I would give him scritches.

OKAY

Polonosuchus aka HOLY SHIT THATS TERRIFYING WHAT WHO AUTHORIZED THIS

So, as much as I love dinosaurs, I feel like they unnecessarily overshadow some of the Really Unneccesarily Terrifying critters that God took look one look at, said “what have I done” and stuffed away deep deep in the Triassic period.

Such as the rauisuchians.

Nature apparently did a shit ton of experimenting around with crocodylomorphs before coming up with the flat river dwelling bois we know and love. You know how our modern crocodiles have their legs sprawled out to the side so they kind of have to drag themselves along?

Well...

Polonosuchus was basically a CROCODILE. THAT COULD RUN. FAST. AND IT WAS

IT WAS THIS BIG

SIX METERS LONG AND AS TALL AS A HUMAN

IMAGINE SEEING A CROCODILE AND IT GETS UP ON THESE TALL ASS LEGS AND STARTS SPRINTING AFTER YOU LIKE A LEOPARD

I WOULD SHIT

Doedicurus aka Literally a Tank

Have you ever looked at an armadillo and thought “hey what if this thing weighed 1,400 kilograms and had a spiky club on the end of its tail”

Thankfully you don’t have to imagine.

The club alone weighed 40-65 kilograms.

Nothing I could add would make this better

Pelagornis, aka Hey Isnt This A Little Excessive?

I’m very slightly bitter at pterosaurs for overshadowing the Giant Birds from Hell that used to just...Exist.

Pelagornis sandersi was a species of flying bird with a wingspan of 20-24 feet. We think it was some sort of seabird.

Also, because being pants-shittingly hugenormous isn’t enough for this thing:

What if beak...but...Teethy Spikes.

I’m going to let you google images of this one because i want you to see the many terrifying reconstructions.

Dinocrocuta, aka Doctor Extreme Bone Hurting

Dinocrocuta was...basically like a spotted hyena. Just. You know. 300 kilograms and 6 feet tall. The size of an entire tiger. Presumably, its large, bone crushing jaws were for crushing even larger bones.

Dinocrocuta actually has a lot of competition for Bone-Crushingest Beast though:

Mongolonyx, aka What If Hoof—But Wolf

The only reconstruction of this guy I can find is by some person on deviantart (contact and watermark is on the image, obvi)

so...some explanation. Mongolonyx is a mesonychid—a carnivorous ungulate. This is an ungulate. A Hoofed Mammal. That decided to evolve into a predator for some reason. Though it looks dog-like here, it wouldn’t have looked like any living animal at all. Its feet would have looked like paws...but hooves. Like many other hoofed mammals mesonychids were fast but not very flexible, and would have run in a similar fashion to modern ungulates.

Speaking of animals that just Do Not look like anything we have now...

Chalicotherium...Huh?

At some point some members of Perissodactyla thought, “Huh, wouldn’t it be cool if we had...Arms?” And never looked back.

Don’t you wish *you* had arms, modern hoofed mammals? That’s what I thought.

"but you cant possibly [do traditionally romantic stuff] with your friends—"

oh, but i can, because im not a coward.

step up, nerds.

I don't know what I'm doing..
