Provided they were scientifically accurate. No featherless raptors!
King Daniel
What about if they’re featherless because they’re plucked and roasting over a fire? Dina is canonically a fan of eating dinosaurs, after all—dino dinin’, if you will.
Considering that the dilophosaurus is the most scientifically incorrect representation in the JP franchise, I’m pretty sure making it look like the movie version would be a turn-off.
Thag Simmons
Eh… Have you seen their Dimorphodon or Deinonychus?
At least their Dilophosaurus is recognizably a Dilophosaurus
What would nude-achu look like anyway? They’re the mouse pokemon, but lay eggs like monotreme, undergo metamorphosis like an insect, and can produce high grade electric shocks like an electric eel (which are fish but not eels).
eh, whatever
Eels are fish. They’re one branch of perfectly ordinary teleosts that have lost the pelvic fins.
King Daniel
Yeah, but what True Survivor was saying is that electric eels aren’t a type of eel. They’re not even closely related.
Delicious Taffy
Having never eaten an eel, electric or non-, I wonder if maybe I’m missing out in an important scientific comparison.
King Daniel
Happy to answer this one! “Classical” eels–whether riverine, conger, moray, etc.–are part of the order Anguilliformes (in classical scientific classification, multiple families are grouped into an order and multiple orders are grouped into a class; Carnivora and Primates are two examples of mammalian orders, Mammalia being a class). By contrast, “electric eels” are a single genus, Electrophorus–two famous examples of dinosaurian genus would be Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops–within the naked-back knifefish family, which is in the order Gymnotiformes. Biologically-speaking, calling an electric eel an actual eel would be somewhat like saying a thylacine (the extinct striped marsupial from Australia and Tasmania) is a “tiger” because “eh, they both have stripes and their faces are vaguely similar in shape”.
It would be like if an electric eel called humans bats because they have weird flat faces.
Delicious Taffy
I just meant the flavor and texture, but that’s also cool to know.
Casi
it’s kind of like how european Magpies are corvids, while australian magpies are Artamids, which are not closely related to corvids at all, despite their superficial visual similarities.
Electric eels are called eels because they look like other eels like the Moray, not because they are related to the true eels.
If we were to discover today a reptile with no visible limbs that ambulated like a snake, we’d probably call it a snake, even if later on we find out that is actually an offshoot of iguanas and it turns out it’s just a iguana noodle.
King Daniel
Even so distantly related, European magpies and Australian magpies are still more closely related than true eels and electric eels are–Corvidae and Artamidae are both bird families of the passerine order. Ditto for iguanas and snakes, which are both still squamate reptiles. Milu’s analogy above about “calling humans ‘bats’ because they have weird flat faces” is a more applicable example of the utter distance between true eels and electric eels.
Tonias
Yeah but humans are also a type of fish so saying something is a type of fish doesn’t mean a whole lot. Important point is not being eels.
Rose by Any Other Name
I’m pretty sure there’s a fair amount of pokemon porn out there if you really want an answer to that question.
Depends on if you mean stark naked or just nudity. Cuz I feel like Casually topless should be achieved within a week of first sexual experience (or within a month of non-sexual experiences).
However I am biased because casually topless is a thing I want in my relationships. Bras included. I just want that level of comfort.
It really depends, some couples just arnt that sexual with eachother, since Sex isnt all that important.
In the case of THIS couple, I doubt Becky would be comfortable with it until maybe a year into her marriage to Dina lol.
There definitely isnt a general answer here. Some folks are fine and comfortable being naked around total strangers, for example. Others arent even fine being around long time friends. Some couples never embrace casual nudity, ever. And theres not really a should.
I know people where after, like, the first time having sex it is casual nudity all the time. And I know of a married couple that had a great relationship until one of them died, who had two children together, where they apparently *never* saw the other completely naked.
I do have the power to give Dina what she wants. But is it right for me to wield such power lightly? Especially when I know it can never transcend the boundaries of canon.
Trust me bruh, if I can achieve such transcendence by making her gorge herself in a literal GAG game, then surely making Becky naked should be no problem for you! ?
Speaking of giving Dina what she wants, you think she’d want superpowers too?
there’s a marvel superhero now with the power to turn into any dinosaur
King Daniel
not to be confused with the marvel supervillain Sauron (yes, that’s actually his supervillain name), who famously and memetically wants to turn other people into dinosaurs.
Azhrei Vep
And yes, he did name himself specifically after the Sauron from Lord of the Rings. Because he is a huge dork. And also an energy vampire.
Who is also not to be confused with Stegron, a Stegosaurus-man who also wants to turn everyone into dinosaurs, but is neither a vampire nor a dork, and therefor far inferior.
JBento
Marvel Sauron is actually a TERRIBLE dork, because when he names himself he says it’s because Sauron is Tolkien’s greatest villain, and Melkor/Morgoth is RIGHT THE FUCK THERE.
Jeff K!
Silmarillion was not published until nine years after Sauron (Marvel) was introduced, and the panel you’re referring to was written.
While an unspecified “great darkness” is referred to throughout Lord of the Rings, it is never given a name in those books.
Morgoth does get mentioned briefly when Legolas is recounting the loss of Gandalf at the hands of “the Balrog of Morgoth.” Given only that description, I would have assumed that Morgoth was a place.
King Daniel
So I just looked up when Marvel!Sauron debuted…and it was apparently in 1969, when Tolkien himself was still very much alive. Although he did get infrequent mentions in The Lord of the Rings (which I’m currently rereading now; at the point I am currently in the book I can recall having crossed off just two such mentions–a not-by-name mention when Aragorn recounts the tale of Beren and Luthien in Book One, and then name-dropped in Book Two when speaking in Lothlorien of the Balrog), I’m pretty sure Morgoth remained fairly obscure on the whole until The Silmarillion was first published in 1977, four years after Tolkien’s death.
King Daniel
@Jeff K! Aragorn’s recitation of the tale of Beren and Luthien does mention their winning one of the Silmarils from “the Great Enemy, of whom Sauron of old was only a servant”; however, he’s not explicitly identified as Morgoth there, you’re right.
Jeff K!
Yep. I just shared that particular panel on a Facebook group last week, and had almost this exact conversation four times with different people, so I did research to make sure I had my facts straight.
In 1977, you wouldn’t refer to George Lucas’ ultimate villain as Emperor Palpatine, even though he had been vaguely mentioned in passing. You’d say Darth Vader.
Even in 1980 you probably still wouldn’t say the Emperor, due to his extremely limited screen time.
In 1983, your answer might be different, as we had seen Palpatine’s evil firsthand by that point.
JBento
(this is even if you ignore the fact that there’s only one bad guy in the entirety of Tolkien lore, and that’s Eru Iluvatar, because he’s the only being that can make choices)

Dina’s gonna make Becky get a tattoo on her butt of a Dilophosaurus.

Honestly? Some temporary dinosaur tattoos in strategic places would practically guarantee some horny from Dina.
Could be a useful strategy in the future.

Seriously tho, if worse comes to worse and they don’t sex for another year, just watching a frenzy like THAT would be REALLY cool!

They can play “draw the feathers on the dinosaur” with sharpie.

Full-body dinosaur-woman makeup might do the trick. Problem is, Dina might never let her wash it off…
