This is an Updated Version of The Post of All Posts
As per usual, life took over, and I didn't really find the time nor focus to update that post very much in its 7 day time span. Let's see how much I can do in the next 7 days.
I am trying something new here, a post that will become some kind of database of my Hypersensitivosaurus stories, all in one place. Pretty much like a personal website on the blockchain, full of links to other posts/ earlier stories.
This might very well become an ungoing process, a neverending story, as that is very much my style and, in my opinion, only natural.
Hypersensitivosaurus reading "Hypersensitivity as a Super Power"
Let me start out by welcoming you to the Dinoverse.
Welkom! Bem-vindo! Welcome!
Around here, dinos still roam wild
and there's this philosoraptor ( not to be confused with the more common 'velociraptor' ) that isn't that wild.
In fact, he often seems pretty zen on the outside but you should see the inside of his reptile brain: It's overactive and suffice to say that he's pretty confused about his purpose and of what's expected of him.
I'm talking about your favorite giant lizard, the one and only: Hypersensitivosaurus
This is the part where you're supposed to clap your hands. This sensitive reptile deserves some love.
FADE INTO
THE BEGINNING OF THIS STORY ( FOR NOW )
I've got so many separate - but at times overlapping - stories, in more or less finished states, in me. And a big chunk of some of these sagas have already been shared, on here.
Take, for example:
Hypersensitivosaurus and Cold Turkey
a book idea that I started early 2021, 2 years ago.
It was almost finished in July of that year ( a first draft, that is ) but I never really managed to complete it.
In fact, another book idea took prominence, leading to a finished book/ bundling of almost two dozen short stories on 22-02-2022. I titled this: The Life of Hypersensitivosaurus: 22 Short Stories about Dinos and Other Animals.

Let us, instead, focus on Hypersensitivosaurus and Cold Turkey first...
It all started with an egg
out came an adult turkey:
Remember this big bird? I sure do. After all, I am its creator. (S)he came to me, when I was trying to quit coffee, for the umptieth time, hence the name Cold Turkey
I have been close to finishing this book, a number of times. Who knows, I might actually get there, this year. Leave out the might:
I can and I will.
CUT BACK TO
THE START OF 2020, when the world drastically CHANGED...
Summer of 2020:
A not so Sunny Hypersensitivosaurus Story - Leaving The Cave
I wrote this one after my return to Portugal, a month or so after experiencing an unprecedented and traumatizing three month lockdown, in The Netherlands, back in the Spring of 2020.
This sketchie is titled 'Hyper out of Hibernation' and isn't necessarily referring to me, but to the average person, experiencing lockdown. Especially those who actually locked themselves in, not or hardly leaving their houses, cutting down on movement, fitness and overall health. This image represents those people, when they first head out into the world, after their unnatural hibernation.

This one - the story, not the critter - actually came to me during that lockdown...
TO BE CONVINUED AND EDITED...
