Sometimes the bird-dinosaur connection is easier to see. Imagine this thing standing 20 feet tall.

This is -exactly- what I thought of, seeing this picture. As a side note, there’s a family of Roseate Spoonbills that live near me, and everytime I pass them, I think “This is a good bird to know.” They’re really quite pretty.

Just woke up from a dream where I was gonna eat out Julia from The Magicians but woke up in a snap because the taste was like dog tongue.
Maybe this thing here is ugly but it tastes good.
Yes I immediately go for my phone when I wake up.

This bird definitely listens exclusively to metal bands from Nordic regions featuring an opera singer dressed like an ice queen backed by instruments that sound like they just got dragged through a tar pit

This is great, did you write it or was it pulled from an actual Rimworld piece?

The part with “menaces with spikes” sounds more like Dwarf Fortress
