Tama Kyoryu (dinosaur) is a mascot for the parks of Tama Hills, Tokyo. It has acorns for eyes, grass on its belly, and flowers and trees growing out of it.

A round green dinosaur character with acorn eyes stands in a park.

reminds me of the trope I saw in 00s Ireland a fair bit, the idea that if there was a writer or artist who you felt was a bit fancy or obscure, people were just pretending to like them

It's in her lunch with the FT, she spills wine on herself or pasta or something, and then after that went up someone pointed out a couple other interviews where she does the same thing.

I mean she clearly has a shtick that works (I've read multiple interviews/profiles with her where she awkwardly spills her drink on herself, it's very rehearsed)
