🌈 ✨ Gay-leontology ✨🌈

Aries was BANDits behaving badly. This originated on palaeofail​ and you can check http://palaeofail.tumblr.com/tagged/BANDits%20behaving%20badly for examples. Basically, its whenever people are using terrible logic to justify their notion that birds aren’t dinosaurs (Spoiler Alert: Birds are Dinosaurs). 

Example: 

because that makes sense, right (source is palaeofail)

Taurus: Just Disappointed Jingshanosaurus. This meme originated here because my friend fezraptor​ drew a very anthropomorphic face on Jingshanosaurus. Is now used to express displeasure with palaeofails. See more on justdisappointedjingshanosaurus​. 

Example: 

Gemini: Awesomebros. This is a catch-all term for individuals who are only interested in dinosaurs as being large, terrifying reptilian predators (aka, monsters) and have no interest in them being anything else. This can include, but is not limited to, being anti-feathers, being a BANDit, being anti-complex dinosaur behavior, being against dinosaurs acting like actual animals, etc. 

Example: 

(this is not true) (at all) (source is palaeofail)

Cancer: ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY GLOWRAPTOR. This is art by my friend artisticthingem and this meme is loosely based on something from Welcome to Night Vale. The Glowraptor (all hail) is pictured below. 

Leo: I believe birds and dinosaurs are reptiles but I don't believe birds are dinosaurs just like humans aren't apes or bonobo monkeys. For an explanation, please click this link: I really hate explaining this

Virgo: Build a Better Fake Theropod. This meme is in direct reference to the Indominus rex from Jurassic World and the idea is to make a more... interesting... realistic... etc. fake theropod. 

Here’s an example by my friend ryuukiba: 

Libra: Bruh I've nevre seen a cooler dino. This phrase originated from ofpaperandponies and the post to which it refers can be found here. Note: we are not making fun of ofpaperandponies, not at all; just how they responded to the naked chicken was freaking hilarious. 

Scorpio: #batfacts. I’ve explained this already, but basically batfacts are fake facts about animals, typically flying animals, and typically fake facts based on silliness or common misconceptions. The original batfact is Pterodactyl was the only known flying dinosaur #batfacts. 

Sagittarius: Birb doge. I’m not even going to explain it other than A) Its Deinonychus B) it also goes by Dogeraptor and C) heres some art of it by ryuukiba

Capricorn: ADD LASERS TO PALAEOART okay if you’ve missed it I am so sorry here’s a buzzfeed article with a bunch of them: http://www.buzzfeed.com/alexkasprak/add-lasers-to-paleoart

Aquarius: Ottersaurs. Thanks to the semi aquatic ness of Spinosaurus, and its similar-ness in appearance to other semi aquatic animals (convergent evolution for the win), it has been dubbed Ottersaurus in many circles because... otters. 

Pisces: Actual Cannibal Indominus Rex. This is based on A) Actual Cannibal Shia LaBeouf and B) the fact that the I rex ate her sister (cannibalism) AND killed for sport. The full song parody can be found here. 

We’re all good? Good!
