I still don't think you should be asking me questions here, but, given that it's here on my wall, I might as well answer it...

Given that the crests of cassowaries are actual skeletal parts of their skeletons and aren't just made of soft tissue like a rooster's comb (which is what I assume the Deinonychus bears), I wouldn't be particularly happy.

I would, however, be up for the Utahraptor's head looking something like this from a soft tissue standpoint.

Goofy-though-plausible flesh-based cranial ornamentation in non-avian dinosaurs gives me life.
