It's a BareBones Brigade Halloween!

I'm sad that I don't have something new to post for this year's leadup to halloween, but this is an illustration from last year that's still very close to my heart. Everyone on Caliosteo is here celebrating together, the patrol team, the former commanders of the BB Brigade, and even Joe Wildwest himself. What's more, it seems they all decided to collaborate and dress up with some BB Brigade flare (maybe it reminds them all of the good old days).

I remember working tirelessly on this one for a near month, and it was honestly a really fun project in hindsight that I wish I could replicate. I have the distinct memory of staying up all the way until Halloween morning making sure that it was perfect, and I wouldn't have had it any other way.

Since the image is a bit widely cropped and not the most "mobile friendly," here are some close-ups on the batches of characters scattered around Ribular Isle. Dina and Rupert sticking close together (as usual), Cole lashing out at Lester after finding out that he stole some of his hair dye (as usual), and Pauleen's Amargo acting snarky, Todd getting himself into trouble (as usual).

Here are also some WIPs from this one. This was the beginning of the phase where I started refining my sketch lining rather than doing a whole separate layer of lineart on top of an original sketch. It's honestly super satisfying, and I recommend anyone who likes drawing to try it out!

As for the lighting, when I do a shading layer I like to change everything underneath to be a solid white, it makes it easier for me to create realistic lighting in a 3D sense, almost as if I'm forming the shape of a sculpture. Plus, when it comes out like this before adding in color everyone here looks like a ghost >< (how appropriate)

One more thing, I made these little pfp icons to go with the Halloween vibe, also making one for Kris (one of the characters from my own Fossil Fighters sequel story). All of their last names are purely headcannons of mine, but there's still a bit of meaning behind all of them.

Being that I'm half Greek, I've always seen Dino and Dina as being short for Κωνσταντίνος and Κωνσταντίνα respectively (also because that happens to be my Greek name, where Dean comes from ><) so I think it makes sense to give them a Greek last name that may or may not also connect to something in my own story.

As for Rupert (still going with my own headcannons), both he and Kris originally hail from Bockland, a European-based Fossil Park that's just as big as Vivosaur Island/Caliosteo. Both of them act so posh and well-mannered, and I'd love to come up with a reason for imagining Rupert with a slight British accent. Kris's story comes a good 9 years after the events of the first 2 games, but she shares a lot in common with Rupert back when he was her age, much more than just being from Bockland.

Thanks if you read this far. I'm both happy and sad to be able to share and talk about this illustration again. If there's anyone here on Tumblr seeing this for the first time, then I'm very happy I can share with you.

I hope you all have a happy week leading up to Halloween night!

On October 4th 1883 the Boys’ Brigade was founded n the North Woodside Mission Hall Glasgow by Sir William Alexander Smith.

The First Glasgow Boys’ Brigade was the first of all the voluntary uniformed youth organisations, represented in 60 countries worldwide. For the first year of the Company’s formation it was the only one however shortly thereafter this new organisation for boys began to spread and by 1886 the movement numbered 2,000 mostly in Scotland although centered around Glasgow, companies had been formed from Ayr in the southwest to Inverness in the north. From then on the movement filtered southward to England soon reaching as far south as London.

In 1887 the BB had spread to all points in the British Isles crossing the English Channel to the Channel Isles where the 1st Jersey was formed and then across the Irish Sea where the 1st Belfast was formed in 1888 and the 1st Dublin in 1890. The First overseas company was formed in St. Louis, Missouri USA in 1887.

The Boys’ Brigade movement continued to advance overseas where missionary companies soon developed usually in isolated stations and outposts, the most notable growth being in Nigeria, Africa. The organisation also spread across the Atlantic, to Canada and the USA encouraged no doubt by the founders promotional visits there first in 1895 and then again in 1907.

The Boys Brigade still thrives and is active in over 70 countries worldwide.

So cartoon logic aside are dogs, like, a sapient species in the Fossil Fighters universe? Or was Rex from the BB Brigade just Like That™ when they found him?

Princess Pooch from Champions is a normal ass dog and it’s at least implied that the rest of her royal family is also just normal ass dogs but seemingly all the dogs we’ve seen in this series have intelligence and problem-solving skills close or equal to that of humans

can I get a corrupt Joe au info dump or masterpost or something similar? love the au and wanna know more but I don't know where to start

Alright anon, here ya go

CORRUPTED JOE AU MASTERPOST

Basically the entire premise of this au is that Dina didn't hit ZZ hard enough with the pipsqueak. It was enough to boot out ZZ but some his magic remained in Joe's body and corrupted him, turning him into an overbearing, possessive, short-tempered, homicidal monster.

Joe's sole motivation is to protect and care for the Patrol Team and the BB Brigade trio, as he now views them as his own kids. Unfortunately, Joe's idea of keeping them safe means depriving them of their freedom and refusing to let them leave Caliosteo. The staff leaders have been trying to keep the kids away from Joe for their safety, and are trying to find a way to stop Joe or get off the islands.

The reason Joe can even get away with doing any of this is because the park is closed to the public during the au and he has gone out of his way to steal everyone's dino medals (by both tricking some of them into handing the medals over and by brute force). He's also destroyed any other means of leaving the islands. Any boats or helicopters are no longer functional. VMM machines have also been disrupted. Only Joe has vivosaurs and power of any form now.

Speaking of his vivosaurs, Joe uses them all to patrol Cranial City to look for threats and any runaway flaplings. Ptera patrols the skies, Heracles the more open outdoor areas, and Bulgon any small spaces the other two can't reach. Berto, Seidon, and Argento are also available to Joe, and each of them patrols a digsite. Ptera, Heracles, and Bulgon view their roles in this as just ensuring the safety of the kids. They do not understand why the kids run away from them and Joe.

The magic has twisted Joe in mind and body. Most of his unhinged behavior is rooted in emotions that Joe already had, just forcibly cranked up to dangerous extremes.

A brief overview of the major changes Joe has undergone:

-Joe already cares about the BB Brigade commanders and the Patrol Team, even starting to view them as his own, and as such desires to protect them. Additionally, he feels guilty about not being able to keep anyone safe from ZZ, who he unleashed in the first place. The magic amplifies this to unhealthy degrees. Joe begins believing he needs to keep them safe from anything and everything at all costs, that he's the ONLY one who can do so. The kids need to be with him always.

-His anger is so so bad now. Joe already had anger issues, if him shouting at the BB Brigade and said Brigade comparing his anger to literal natural disasters is anything to go by. The magic turns him downright murderous. Anyone who Joe thinks is a threat to his flaplings needs to die. People who try to separate him from the kids for their safety are also viewed as threats. No one keeps Joe from his kids. NO ONE.

-The magic has granted him increased strength. Joe always had great endurance but he's never really been all that strong. The magic however, has made him so strong he can solo vivosaurs by himself. That's terrifying.

-His more monstrous appearance is a rather recent development. At first his eyes were tainted purple, with the pupils glazed over. Now he's began to take on the traits of ZZ himself. Not good.

-Much like his vivosaurs, he doesn't know why the flaplings would ever try to leave him. Don't they know how hard he tries to protect them? Because he can't fathom the idea that maybe he's the problem, he blames the staff leaders, who he believes are trying to turn his flaplings against him. The magic makes it very hard for Joe to reflect on himself. He upsets the kids, murders and attempts to murder people, but he legitimately thinks he's just a hardworking single dad trying his best while the world seems to be unfairly against him. Basically, Joe is existing in one of those parent simulator games where things always go wrong while everyone else exists in a horror game.

A rough timeline of canon events so far:

Canon happens as normal.

Months go by of nothing but Joe feeling under the weather.

The park closes for maintenance, most people leave except for the staff leaders, Joe, the Patrol Team, Scatterly, BB Brigade commanders, and maybe a few normal staff that are mostly on the other islands.

Joe becomes fully corrupted, unbeknownst to everyone else.

Joe steals everyone's medals.

The Patrol Team go to the staff leaders, who are all on Cranial Isle, for help.

The staff leaders see Joe's unhinged behavior and try to leave with everyone else.

Joe becomes enraged, and starts the cat and mouse dynamic between him and the others for the rest of the au.

The staff leaders form a makeshift base on the outskirts of Cranial City, making regular supply runs while avoiding Joe.

The Patrol Team devise a plot to get their medals back, with Dina raiding Wildwest Tower while Joe and his vivosaurs are distracted. Dino and Pauleen distract Bulgon and Heracles. Todd is used to draw Joe out into Rainbow Canyon and away from the tower (wrote a mini fic for this, try using the "#zesty tries to write something" tag, you'll find it faster that way). Rupert watches Joe and Todd from the sidelines, and is there to warn Dina of when Joe comes back. Joe ends up chasing Todd with Ptera, but comes back earlier than anticipated, leaving everyone but Rupert stuck with him.

Rupert returns to the staff leaders and BB Brigade trio, and goes to scout a few days later.

The Fossildig CEO comes to Caliosteo looking for Rupert. Joe lures him just outside of the city and kills him. Rupert unfortunately is a witness, and Joe finds him and brings him back to the tower.

Lester, Lola, and Cole go looking for Rupert, finding Joe's bloody bootprints. They assume the worst.

Lester, Lola, and Cole find Stella being chased by Joe, and distract him so she can get away. A rogue S-Raptor attacks, and Cole is left injured. Joe badly beats the rogue into fleeing, and takes Cole back to the tower.

Joe ends up passing out from exhaustion, allowing all the flaplings he took so far to escape. When he awakes, he becomes enraged and physically transforms into something more monstrous.

Dina gets held hostage by Rockin' Billy, who snuck back onto the islands and is looking for revenge. The staff leaders are forced to watch as Billy hurts her, threatening them into compliance with his Raja.

Joe, hearing the commotion, slaughters Billy. The staff leaders try to make a run for it with Dina. When Joe gives chase, Stella tries to distract Joe so Terry and Kent can get away with the injured teen. It doesn't work, and with their deaths guaranteed if they get caught, they cut their losses and drop Dina, leaving her to Joe so they can get away.

Everyone is mad and Joe gets one of his flaplings back. This is it for now.

If you're wondering where Scatterly is in all of this, he's trying his very best to be as out-of-the-way as possible. He likely won't survive if Joe ever turns against him, as he can't flee as well as everyone else, so he tries to appease the cowboy whenever the two interact. It's worked so far, but no one knows how long that will last.

Some additional info to consider:

Joe has started acting more animalistic, especially after his physical transformation. He growls, hisses, roars, purrs, etc. He'll sometimes move around on all fours, and he'll even build nests out of blankets and pillows, just for his flaplings. Ptera thinks he sucks at nestbuilding btw.

Basically everyone is sleep deprived, but Joe especially almost never sleeps. How can he when his beloved flaplings are out there possibly in danger and not safe with him???

Joe gets headaches when he can't be with his flaplings, making him even more ill-tempered than usual.

If Joe has other loved ones be at Caliosteo while he's corrupted he WILL try to dote on them like he does with his flaplings. Friends of his and romantic partners (ESPECIALLY romantic partners) get the controlling and overly affectionate cowboy instead of the murder one.

The kids know that something ZZ related made Joe like this and they think they can battle him to snap him out of it. Unfortunately they can't do that without vivosaurs, and there's no way in hell they're gonna try to physically fight him when he can kill them all with little effort.

Oh yeah Joe is also just bigger now lol.

I'm not sure if this is comprehensive enough for you, anon (I didn't wanna leave you waiting too long for this post). If there's anything you want clarification on, do not hesitate to ask!

I remember when KH first came out I was EXCITED for the possibility of what other FF characters would show up as plot OCs and minor cameos.

... then we got the OC Brigade of Organization XIII. BUT we got Seifer and Vivi in one-off scenes and the Prologue of KH2 had the rival/villains from SeeD as the asshole kid gang. AURON ACTUAL AURON had a major plot bit in Olympus! Tifa showed up... in a confusing manner. Yuna and her FFX-2 friends showed up as fairies!?

Then the existing FF characters got less screen time. BUT we got Zack in BBS who raised weird questions of Cloud's situation! DDD had TWEWY going on for some reason! ... and then it fizzled out. Except for Heartless boss fights in Chi like Kefka, Gilgamesh, and the classic Summons had their own Heartless (Shiva, Ifrit, Iron Giant, Titan, Leviathan, Ramuh). No I'm not counting Chi's Medals.

But really. Imagine if other FF games had their cast running around. Hell, imagine if it also had stuff like Live A Live, Chrono Trigger, the Bouncer, Treasure of the Rudras, Mana/SeikenDen, SaGa, Xenogears, Parasyte Eve, Einhander, Vagrant Story, or Breath of Fire. And that's just the Squaresoft side not even Enix! Although also not counting subsidiaries, merges/buyouts, or more specifically stuff made by previously Square people like Xenosaga, Xenoblade, Shadow Hearts, Blue Dragon, or Last Story.

So much fanfic fuel for the characters getting dumped or transposed into KH.

Muffins!!! I need your help!!!

As you know, we play the WGN morning show on Jan. 12th, and oh my aren’t we delighted to do it!

Only thing is, our chosen tune of the day has *gasp* profanity in it, and we can’t possibly let that go on at 8 o'fucking clock in the morning. Thus, I’m taking all suggestions for how to replace “fucker” and “fucking” in the bridge section of “Misery Loves Company”, because I am having some trouble coming up with something suitable and perhaps I’m simply too close to the source.

Of course, you won’t have much luck without context, one never does, so please run on over to my MySpace page, listen to the song clip, and reply with your brilliant suggestions there (not here).

Thank you for your genius in advance, my sweet devil cakes!

EA ps Spanking new Newsletter came out today (sign up for it on my site if you didn’t get one, because it’s got discount tickets in it, and secrets, yeah!), and if you aren’t signed up for the Bloomer Brigade (which you can do by writing to info@emilieautumn.com or signing up for the newsletter), you are missing out big fuckin time because BB’s get advance clips from the entire fucking album. Fuck! Fuckers! Fuckity Fuck!

Two badges

Last Saturday Grace attended her second BB Service and Awards ceremony at Trinity Church. It was held at 5.30pm but Grace had to be there at 3pm for the rehearsal.

The ceremony was solemn and it was also a holy communion service, where Rev Christine Loi gave a sermon about David and Goliath, linking it to the values of the Boys’ Brigade.

Grace received a green badge and a one-year-service badge. I’m very glad that her kindy principal introduced and encouraged me to let Grace join the BB, and I don’t regret the day I made her attend her first day at BB.

Spoilers below the cut:

Dumbass brigade (incels, homophobes, douchebros, htdm, shitdom, etc): Shippers are the only ones wanting this or happy with BB.

Neutral types (MurderofBirds, Thatkaitodan, etc): BB is canon! wooo!

Neutral-negative types: I mean, I don’t ship them but the scene was beautiful.

VA’s and Crew: We’ve been holding this in for years and omfg BEEEEEEEEEES!

So yeah, once again dumbass brigade trying to frame themselves as more than what they are, a small section of morons.

I remember like three years ago I had my dad try playing champions, but for the story bits I narrated it to him in Spanish because he's not the best at English.

So I don't remember much of it but I do remember the last time we played it. We got to the part where the hot springs was filled with jelly and we had to go to cranial island. Even though he already knew who the main bad guys where at the time, and they literally said that the bb brigade was behind it, when Kent finished telling him to go to cranial island he was like: I think he's secretly behind this and he's the bad guy!! And I was so confused because what. He would not back down. Weird thing is he's always saying stuff like this and I can never tell if he's messing with me or 100% serious.

Yeah and then I lost my ds for like 2 ish years.
