Viktor & Rolf Haute Couture ‘Russian Doll’ Fall/Winter 1999

[victor-veloci-simp-69]

Episode 1:

I've always loved the intro song ngl. A good intro song makes me love a cartoon. That's how W.I.T.C.H and Huntik got me

Fiona gets to class. Ms Moynihan says she broke three rules. She says this before Fiona bites her apple. Fiona then says that's only two and then misses her shot, making three. This inplies that Fiona either does this regularly, or that Ms Moynihan has some form of clairvoyance.

(The clairvoyance thing could make some absolutely fantastic fanfiction ngl. *writes that down* oooh, I have IDEAS now) anyway, back to episode

The fact that Fiona only took one bite of that apple bothers me

Oh man, that bio class room looks almost exactly like the one I had in high school.

Oooooh yaayyyy! Mah Boi is here!!! Stripey gay boi

Okay, first off:

This place looks like a giant OSHA violation.

Regardless of that (Peter, go fix this giant OSHA violation. Hey, maybe that's why we never see him again, he's too busy fixing the questionable workplace) those scientists look properly enriched.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE THINGS IN THE TUBES THEY LOOK LIKE THEY'RE FROM BEN 10 I SWEAR TO GOD THAT LOOKS LIKE SWAMPFIRE.

On that note, why do we never see Veloci's creepy test tube creatures??? His scientists worked hard on The Horrors

The one on the pink test tube looks like the rose from beauty and the beast

Is that a fucking rail track. I think I remember that one featuring in an ep, but I could be wrong. If I'm right then why was the continuity placed here and not on anything else???

"I got into business to swim with the sharks, not be eaten by them"

Me: Oh, you're declining it? Unexpected.

Peter: I'm in!

Me: ???

That bit of dialogue has always thrown me off. Its the clunkiness.

Bye Peter. It was nice to meet you.

"Break into your usual groups". The dinosquad comes together but kinda acts like they've never interacted before.

Max and Roger seem like they've teamed up before tho.

Caruso at 4:21 is barefoot. He has shoes on at 4:26. We know he had no time to put shoes on and off and on because he's barefoot when he leans over and drops his jacket. When he picks it up he has shoes on again.

...why did they all (I understand Caruso getting his jacket and Buzz getting thrown in) go into the water????

Roger says "nah, I ain't getting in" and then not only gets in the water but throws buzz in.

(The fact that Roger throws Buzz in the water which later results in him becoming a Dino is a great angst fic waiting to happen. If Roger hadn't thrown him in, he would still have been living a normal life)

Ms Moynihan shows up and goes " I thought I made it clear no one was to go in the water"

First off, that was never shown on screen and I don't like that

With the context of dinosquad as a whole, this kind of implies she knows Veloci is dumping his nuclear jizz in the water

I guess it could also be because she didn't want wet students on the bus, but still.

Wait. If no one was suppose to go in the water, and there doesn't seem to be an area with tide pools, then Caruso's stupid sushi list is even more useless since fish don't count.

Anyway, MY BABY RUMP!!! BOOBOO! I LOVE YOU BABY! MY BABY!!!

Hnnngg sexy library I wants please I will crawl into my computer just let me at that library I can live with dinosaur shenanigans. (But can I live with redoing high school? No.)

"Young man, if you don't remember, this is a library 😡 "

My brother in christ, what horrors have you been through that you hear a dinosaur roar and conclude that that is the sound a normal teenager makes naturally.

Caruso's jacket gets shredded. He immidiately blames the dry cleaners. Bro, it was whole when you put it in your locker. What

Fiona gets a tail and it sticks out her truck window. My good bitch, how did you not feel the cold air on your tail???

The fact that Buzz waves his arms while playing video games is kinda adorable

The fact that Ms Moynihan showed them what happened telepathically leaves a lot of possibility for her to leave certain things out and show them only what she wants them to see and think.

And besides that, its also kinda fucked up. There are implications here. My brain is a little fried to parse them all, but there are implications. I know it.

Ohhh!! The cave has a light source! That implies that there are two entrances, which solves my age old question of how tf did they get out of that cave.

Oh holy shit. Young Ms Moynihan is HOT

...she looks a lot like Caruso. Hmmm. Formulating THOUGHTS tm

You think that (if the story she tells is actually true and not her lying to hide a bigger truth that she doesn't want them to know about) Ms Moynihan and Veloci gained the ability to transform because of. Idk. Space radiation or something?

Cuz your genes don't just. Mutate. For no reason. This backstory feels fake af. I think she just lied bc she knew her students knew fuck all about biology and would believe anything

Why did ms Moynihan change foreheads. Did she want to be inclusive and touch everyone's forehead or is she afraid their brains can only handle so much... or did they refuse to hold hands like she asked and now she has to switch foreheads?

"You're a vicious Carnivore!"

"I've moved past that but there is one who hasn't: Victor Veloci"

Might be because I'm getting back into twilight, but this gives off major Vegetarian Vampires vs Normal Vampires vibes.

In this case, Ms Moynihan is Dr Carlisle Cullen and Victor Veloci is Aro Volturi.

"What do you believe?"

Ms Moynihan: "Humans gained dominance because brute force lost out to reason...and love. That's why I parted ways with Veloci long ago."

I smell a Secret. I smell Tea. Spill. I can practically hear tragic dramatic backstory. Was this a "I fell in love story" or a "Veloci didn't care about me" story. Ms Moynihan sounds bitter.

Also, the sheer contempt in her voice when she talks about Victor Veloci. Say what you will about Dinosquad, but it has some pretty good voice acting sometimes.

Max: "I don't want to be a dinosaur"

Ms Moynihan: this is bigger than you, this is about saving the world.

"Can you cure us?"

"Yeah"

Roger: "But I want to stop Victor Veloci :( "

Ms Moynihan mentally: *nevermind, ya'll are too stupid to help me save the world. What was I thinking*

(Genuinely a very confusing arguement. People changed opinions so quickly damn. Not even a line space in between)

"I can't afford all the fancy tech Veloci has" <takes them to her lighthouse filled with huge computers and monitoring equiptment> hmmm. Ms M, I'mma assume you banged some rich bitches in your time and inherited, because no way can you affort a lighthouse on a teacher's salary.

Conclusion: Ms M is loaded.

"The cold forces the Dino DNA to the skin as it seeks warmth" um. That's ominous. It makes the DNA sound like a living parasite. Ugh

Ms Moynihan definitely faked "curing them". She is way too calm about the situation. She was very insistent on them helping her fight Veloci before. And the fact that she could cure literally everything else except for them is sus.

That Megalodon shark was trolling ngl

Veloci sees Fiona as dino: this can only be bc of my experimental dna...or....

That 'or' implies things. Ms Moynihan things.

The fact that Veloci sees the Dinosaurs but not the squad turning into dinosaurs the dinosaurs. Like, by the time Ms Moynihan jammed the feed several transformations have already taken place

Veloci ending with his ominous ass "can't wait to find out more about my new dinosaur friends" is so fun. Love him. Dramatic ass fuck. Ominous. Very sexy.

The squad +some extra doodles

[heich0e]

Ooh will you pls walk us through your perfume/body wash/lotion collection?

fun fact i actually use gentle/unscented body products so all of my body wash/soaps/lotions/etc are not (or are negligibly) fragranced! my derm put the fear of god into me abt how it can irritate your skin, and since switching years ago i just haven't gone back! i like that it makes whatever fragrance i'm wearing smell cleaner and less muddied too. (my shampoo/conditioner/other hair product is fragranced so that still has a scent, so does my deodorant, and my laundry detergent. w that many scents happening on a regular basis i feel like there's rly no need for scented body cleansers imho.)

[dinosquad-central]

Trick or treat!

And for your treat, headcanons!

The squad’s favorite parts of halloween

Ms. Moynihan: Seeing all the little kiddos dressed up in cute costumes. She’s been around for millions of years and still can’t resist cooing when she sees a fat baby dressed as a pumpkin. It’s a classic! It’s just too bad she never gets trick-or-treaters at the Lighthouse, not that she can blame anyone for not wanting to scale a cliff on the off-chance of candy—besides, even though she always has the porch light on, the light at the top is much more attention grabbing.

Max: The parties. He goes to one every day on the week leading up to halloween wearing the same basic-ass costume to every one (one year he just wore his football uniform). He loves the excuse to hang out with tons of people and eat chocolate and dance to “Thriller” and “The Monster Mash”. Really he just loves parties in general and holidays are a great excuse to have them. He even likes taking a carful of his drunk friends home when he inevitably gets dubbed the designated driver since he doesn’t drink.

Rodger: Putting up Halloween decorations with his family. He and his brother spend hours putting out fake tombstones and carefully arranging sticky-spiders across the garage door. Not to mention rigging a motion-activated fog machine to play spooky noises when it turns on to freak out trick-or-treaters.

Caruso: Dressing up! He spends months slowly preparing multiple different costumes, one for school, one for the squad’s get together, different ones for different halloween parties. He spends hours doing makeup and putting on all his accessories for his elaborate costumes. And he loves it. Somebody take this kid to a Ren Faire.

Buzz: The excuse to binge all the horror movies he wants. His mom hates horror but she indulges him around Halloween and plans to be out of the house or taking a long bath while he watches every Saw movie in order… again.

Fiona: Used to really love trick-or-treating and kept going out even after people said she was too old for it, using her younger sister as an excuse to go door-to-door and get candy and see all the cool decorations. When Terri decided she was too old for it, Fiona lost her excuse, so now she goes over to Buzz’s house to eat candy and watch horror movies on the day. Max and Caruso both invited her to parties but she wasn’t interested.

+ Bonus

Veloci: Terrorizing pitiful human children. They never expect the old “Let me get my candy bo—AGHHHAAAAHHHH I AM BECOMING A MONSTERRRR!” routine, and transforming into an actual velociraptor really sells it. He gets great satisfaction watching them run away screaming down his driveway. He doesn’t even buy any candy.

Since these are the only ones I couldn't find reblogs of (believe me, I've tried), I'm posting these from my old Wayback Machine spree. The second one was described as "older entomologist Edd".

Trick or treat!

*opens the askbox wearing an inflatable T-Rex costume* Happy Halloween!

The Squad’s Halloween costumes

Max: Werewolf because he’s a basic jock lol, but he did actually put a good effort into it.

Fiona: nascar driver Danica Patrick, whom none of the others have ever heard of, so they think she’s just dressed like a non-specific nascar driver. Fiona takes the opportunity to educate them and wax poetic about how cool Danica Patrick is.

Buzz: he enjoys Halloween for the horror movies and spooky stuff than the costumes, so wasn’t going to wear one, but Caruso bullied him into it and helped him put together a pretty killer praying mantis costume.

Caruso: for the school Halloween party, he wears the most over-the-top dramatic queer coded vampire you can imagine. For the Dino Squad’s Halloween hang-out at the lighthouse, he dressed as Brad Boimler from Star Trek: Lower Decks

Why? Because they have the same hair and I want him to. (Also I fully believe Caruso is the kind of drama queen who would have multiple costumes for different parties and the kind of closet nerd who would like Star Trek and only the dino squad knows.)

Rodger: Meticulously accurate storm trooper costume. He and Caruso subsequently get into a raucous debate about whether Star Trek or Star Wars is better.

Rump: Underdog

Ms. Moynihan: generic witch, basically just a big witch hat and black shawl with her regular clothes. She’s not really into Halloween but the kids all are and she’s just happy to see them all enjoying themselves.

Bonus: Veloci doesn’t dress up, but he does turn into a velociraptor and go out on the town to terrorize children for fun.
