Dino Tits Worldbuilding: thread 1

>Thread 1
Note: any worldbuilding that would later be contradicted has been left out.
Step 1: Dinosaurs never went extinct.
Step 2: Instead, they experienced rapid evolution due to radioactive meteorites.
Step 3: Over time, these mutations led to more humanoid forms.
Step 4: While not always consistent, Dinosaurs of many breeds became intertwined closely with humans as they came into being.
5. As a result of convergent evolution between dinosaurs and humans, society had to likewise adapt to support the needs of both species.

Dinos run a bit cooler than their human friends.
Therefore, they enjoy a bit of cuddling in their day.
Some snuggling can go a long way with a big lizard.

>It's a touch difficult for the fashion industry to keep up, though.
It's probably not as hard pressed as you might think. While you'd be right to imagine it'd be hard for the dino fashion industry to survive on its own given the lack of taboo against public nudity for dinos and the thick dinosaur hide protecting them from most elements, the human fashion industry capitalized on things by marketing a line of products for dinosaurs to impress and accessorize their humans with. The dinosaur fashion industry would likely capitalize on the reverse trend; enticing humans to prove themselves good providers by buying the comparatively more expensive clothes for their dinosaurs. Dinosaurs in turn wear clothes mostly for ceremonial purposes or to show off their status, rather than for modesty's sake, and resulting outfits usually show plenty of scales. They still enjoy enticing humans to cuddle, though, most likely as a holdover from their cold-blooded evolutionary past.

The cripplingly small number of companies that make dailywear for saurians does translate to an almost complete lack of taboo against nudity, but saurians still want clothing, and clothing that fits properly is a luxury to be proud of. The more skin it covers, the more it deserves to be worn around and shown off (as long as it fits form properly). Most dinos prefer pants and shorts over dresses and skirts, considering the hanging fabric to be a heinously cut corner when the time could have been taken to make the fabric actually fit properly around the legs.


Uncommonly, but not exactly rarely, some saurians take up tailoring as a hobby and make their own clothes. It's an expensive hobby, and garments that they make are almost never wearable by more than one individual, but they can clothe themselves and a few other dinos close to their size with full, comparatively well-made oufits.


Most holidays involving dinosaurs become romantic holidays. However, very little is quite so pure as a dinosaur's first interaction with snow. At times like this, most dinos would probably carry humans in their clothes like heating packs to protect from the cold.
>I'd also imagine hot springs are a popular romantic destination, and general cruising spot.

Everything would be designed to cater to the various different breeds of dinosaur that we'd share the planet with. There'd be much higher ceilings in public places and the various businesses would need to be able to sell to a wide demographic (herbivores, carnivores, nocturnals, etc).
Imagine those scenes from Zootopia, but with humans and dinosaurs instead of a medley of mammals.

>Would human dentists be equipped to deal with saurian teeth or would they need special equipment? I can imagine some saurians might feel uncomfortable with a human dentist in case they accidentally gag or bite down. Saurians might also have to get humans to brush and floss their teeth if their arms can't reach, depending on the breed.
>It would depend on the species. I can see human dentists easily handling smaller Dino's, like Compys and the smaller raptors, and even Stegosaurs and Ceratopsians.
>I imagine that any good dentist equipped to deal with dinos would have some type of variable-size frame that they can put into a dino's mouth that makes them unable to close their jaws until the device is removed. Dinos need not worry about harming their dentist accidentally.
>That or just wedge a stick in there and hope for the best.
There was probably a point in this settings history where they did that!

Some carnivorous saurians find it endlessly hilarious how humans can be so squeamish about bloodshed. The disconnect between humans wanting to eat meat and yet being so unwilling to think about where it comes from truly perplexes them. It gets to the point that some carnivores will try to "fix the problem" by inviting human acquaintances along on hunting expeditions. They figure that simply exposing humans to the violent truth of it will help them come to grips with it.
It's a very visceral experience watching carnivorous saurians be predatory. They don't use weapons when they hunt. Not usually, anyway. They prefer using their natural armaments. Claws, fangs, horns, you name it.

>The bond between dinosaur and human has existed since time immemorial
>The dinosaurs existed first on the earth before the appearance of man
>By the time humanity appeared, dinosaurs were still primitive and tribal
>It took the efforts of both species for civilization to truly begin

>Seeing as dinosaurs can be either tiny (compsognathus) or enormous (apatosaurus) technology and architecture have had to diversify
>Automobiles are a very human invention. Most dinosaur breeds can't really fit in a car. Therefore public transportation is much more popular.
>Sex shops specializing in dinosaur products are common. Imagine a six foot long dildo in the shape of a popular movie star.
>Warehouse grocery stores haven't changed much from reality, except that the shelves are much taller now. Also their selection of plants and meats has broadened significantly.
>Dinosaur bathtubs could double as swimming pools for humans. You haven't experienced comfort until you've lounged against a big, scaly body in a warm pool of scented water.

>Different species of saurian are suited to different artistic pursuits due more to size than anything else. In the realm of painting, larger saurians struggle with the fine details, often favoring abstract and expressionist styles or dadaism which can make use of their sheer bulk without relying too much on dexterity.They also favor more physical forms of art like sculpting which make use of their natural weapons (imagine using claws instead of chisels). In turn, smaller saurians favor more heavily detailed movements like impressionism and baroque.
>Saurians also find natural inclinations towards poetry and acting, due to the unique shape and size of their mouths giving their voices a distinct timbre and volume that it's difficult for humans to achieve; no human can quite roar out a booming shout like a T-rex, or squeak quite as daintily as a compsognathus. This leads to architecture like concert halls being designed not only to accommodate saurian singers and speakers physically, but also to allow their voices to make use of the natural acoustics of the buildings.However, this can also be a double-edged sword as saurians are more likely to be pidgeonholed into certain roles, or otherwise typecast.
>As is common in most areas of society, human-saurian collaborative projects are common, with the humans (or alternatively, different sized saurians) compensating for the disadvantages of the other species involved; this has lead to a rise of unique hybrid styles which benefit from participants across the size spectrum.
>Saurians' sheer size, as well of the size of the natural tools that they use as carving implements and their preference for larger mediums are the direct causes of a large number of mountainside carvings comparable to Mt. Rushmore and Abu Simbel. A great many of these carved works of art have been adopted as monuments.

>Some saurian breeds are pigeonholed into certain careers
>Of course aquatic breeds are going to excel as lifeguards
>Of course larger breeds will be useful as builders and laborers
>Some breeds get pegged as the clever ones
>Others get pegged as the aggressive ones
>It's all stereotyping, really

The simple fact of the matter is that there are some things that humans and saurians can't do together. Contact sports like football are prohibitively dangerous when larger saurian breeds share the field with smaller individuals. A large saurian wouldn't be able to ride in a vehicle with decidedly human proportions. Smaller saurians will want to avoid attempting to lift heavier exercise equipment. Humans simply can't eat some of the plants that herbivorous saurians eat. The list is endless.

>We've agreed that saurians lay eggs like reptiles, but we have yet to answer whether or not crossbreeding is a thing. Are saurians genetically similar enough to one another to mix species, as humans are to mix races? And for that matter, can human/saurian pairs produce offspring? Do children of such couplings come out as true hybrids or as one of the parents' species?

>I would say yes in certain cases, such as Tyrannosaurus/Allosaurus/Carnotaurus, Velociraptor/Oviraptor/Utahraptor and the Ceratopsians.

>I like the idea of interspecies couples adopting way too much to like the idea of crossbreeding.
I want daddy human to have to deal with moody, teenage, saurian daughter.
Pure excellence.
