Whose hand is on the Fugue's shoulder?

In the second panel, fugue is touching tingyun's shoulder. Or, if you think about it this way, tingyun is touching fugue's shoulder since they're both the same person.

    My 10,000th yuri post (at the time of posting). This means I have uploaded approximately 5% of the total yuri posts on danbooru, as the 200,000th post was just reached recently (post #8053944).

    Currently, the next biggest yuriposter is Krugger at 5961, then Doragonn at 4307. No one else is over 4000, though 岩戸鈴芽 will probably pass Doragonn within a month or two.

    The total # of yuri posts in 2024 so far (8 months in) is 30446, for an average of 125.8 posts/day. The total for all of 2023 was 22106, an average of 61.8 posts/day. The average yuri posts per day have therefore more than doubled. This is mostly due to my own autistic obsession, but 岩戸鈴芽 also bears significant responsibility for this increase.

    Of 2024's 30446 yuri posts, I have uploaded 8655 (28%), 岩戸鈴芽 has uploaded 2679 (9%) and caps7 has uploaded 982 (3%). The overall daily volume of danbooru posts has increased by 142%, and yuri has increased by 203%. If you subtracted all posts made by the three autists responsible for the recent surge, you would have a 2024 average of 74.9 posts/day, which is still an absolute increase over 2023, but a relative decrease compared to the overall volume of all danbooru posts. If you subtracted only my posts, yuri would have a 146% increase, which is higher than but much closer to the overall increase in daily post volume.

    What's that, a dodo dinosaur? I know it says velociraptor, but it sure doesn't look like it. Velociraptors are supposed to have forelegs/arms with claw, so this would at best be an devolved evolution.

    No, that's just a scientifically correct velociraptor, their claws were covered by their wings.

    But now the arms are the complete other way around, did the archeologists get it that wrong when I was a kid and interested in these things? And then how are you supposed to use your claws like that when hunting?

    To be fair most theropod dinosaurs obviously fed using their legs to immobile their prey and just took bites out of them. The only one I think used their "arms" more often than the others was the Spinosaur since it was most likely a partial quadruped

    Even the Jurassic Park Velociraptors had pathetically tiny arms and claws to be honest. iirc, the main way that's theorized on how they hunted was their mouth and their clawed feet being used to tear into downed prey. A lot of raptors tend to have a much larger nail on their feet compared to the others that's theorized to be the thing used to rip.

    Just because their arms looked tin doesn't mean they were weak. Paleontologists discovered that the T-Rex's arms were hella strong despite of their short length

    Apparently these critters mostly hunted things smaller than themselves. Plus, even with inwardly facing arms, the creature still could use them to grasp things in front and below itself. IIRC the current popular theory for how small dromaeosaurids would eat is still this.

    Raptor feeding mechanics

    (A) grasping foot holds on to prey. (B) hypertrophied D-II claw used as anchor to maintain grip on large prey. (C) predator's bodyweight pins down victim. (D) beam-like tail aids balance. (E) low-carried metatarsus helps restrain victim. (F) “stability flapping” used to maintain position on top of prey (see Supporting Information Videos S1 and S2). (G) arms encircle prey (“mantling”), restricting escape route. (H) head reaches down between feet, tearing off strips of flesh (may explain unusual deinonychosaurian dental morphology). Victim is eaten alive or dies of organ failure.
