Ahaha, hopefully! I was just worried people might be "LOL DINOSAURS" and then Clint's frozen in mildly hysterical shock (albeit briefly), so I was....worried. But! Dangerous creatures and black humour and serious.

When on-duty, there is snark and low-key jokes to take the edge off; off-duty, there is way more goofing off and silly before they settle down again. Too serious, and their jobs would just eat at them. And that depresses me waaaay too much, so, mine snark a lot and then relax on off-duty. But with dinosaurs? Oh, yeah, there are going to be jokes. If they can turn things into jokes then they can...bring it down to something more manageable and deal with the situation.

Totally research! It's not a very big museum, and I know most of the info anyway, but the dinosaurs on display are awesome - and really helpful. It's one thing to know that the raptors I'm using were three feet tall at the hip, and another to stand next to a statue and go '....right, yes, there is the rest of the body that is above the...hip...'

I just. I seriously wanted to be a palaeontologist when I was kid. Writing stories and reading books is the next best thing, clearly! And ohhhhh, yes, that display sounds amazing. Scary for tiny!you! (Tiny!me was terrified of moving dinosaur displays), but still amazing.

*nods head* yes to everything you said about their characterization!! too serious and letting their jobs get to them is way too depressing, indeed!! :/ Have to deal somehow, and snark and jokes are all good! I'm excited to read what you come up with :)

Yay research! lol yes, as cool as it would be to see dinosaurs in the wild/study them... yeah its probably best that its just a model ;) 3 feet at the hip.... then the rest of the body o.0

*nods* I completely understand!! No lie, I've always been into wildlife, be it prehistoric or modern, and wanted so bad to be a palaeontologist, biologist, or vet (I did end up studying wildlife biology but.... *pokes retail jobs* now to do something with it :/ ) Writing stories and reading books is indeed the next best thing :)

oh that display was awesome! but yes tiny!little girl me was riding on her daddy's shoulders when he turned the corner and then wham! I was face to face with a giant moving t-rex who was making growly noises o.o but still amazing ;)
