More shenanigans with your favorite warden trio!!!

Sean is always the lure and is always happy to be the lure

[captainmvf]

I saw you were taking asks? I have a few questions I'd love to hear your answers.

What is your favorite side ark in the fossil fighters games?

Favorite characters/character dynamics?

Not a question, but I would love to hear about your personal headcannons about characters and such.

Have you ever thought about Dinaurian lore?

I'd love to hear all your thoughts on this, it's so rare that anyone has anything to say about the games. If you don't answer all (or any of them) that's totally fine! ^^

Hiya!! This got a bit long so here's the cut-off:

Favorite side ark in the fossil fighters games?

Oh gosh it's hard to decide because two certain arks are my favorite: The Nick Nack ark in the original and the Princess Pooch ark in Champions.

I feel like they mix in just the right amount of zany with plot progression to feel both fun and important errands! Princess Pooch's helps with unlocking the Miraculous Fossils and keeps the weird lore of dogs being intelligent enough to Fossil Battle from the first game and Nick Nack's even ties in Dr. Diggin's lost sandals. Nick Nack also has one of the most memorable themes lol.

Favorite characters/character dynamics?

Dynamic-wise: Hands down, the BB Brigade in Champions. They play off of each other so well and (even though I think their writing with Don/Joe is flawed) I wish we could have seen them more with Joe after the main story!!! The Patrol Team even has a great dynamic that is very fleshed out by the end of the game. I'm even enjoying Becky and Sean's sibling relationship in Frontier at the moment. Also, I like Dynal's dynamics/interactions with EVERYONE in the original. The guy clearly brings a presence that makes you want to pick at him, especially with Dr. Diggins, Raptin, and Duna.

Characters: OBVIOUSLY Joe Wildwest!!!!!!! Other favorites include Duna, the BB Brigade, Patrol Team, Drake, Violet, and Sean and Becky are growing on me.

Headcannons?

TONS!!!! Oh god UUHHHHH WHERE TO BEGIN-

Stella is takes her job the most seriously but she also wouldn't she she's married to her job of being a Staff Leader. Joe can trust her with almost anything in the park. She's also a lesbian.

Terry and Kent are not as professional as Stella but they still take their job seriously. Terry tends to be more aloof while Kent would rather snowboard. They are Bi but don't really seem interested in dating as they are currently in positions that make it hard to date.

Dr. Diggins was probably really scared to see Dynal again after the Guhnash battle because Dynal is going to learn one way or another that he stole the Dinurian tech from that crashed ship. Dynal eventually is told the truth by him and just goes 'okay' since it's not much of a big deal anymore.

I have this very specific headcannon that curators and just fossil fighters in general who work in museums have to have an impressive cleaning record. The cleaning side quests in the first game and the Hare Club stuff in Champions helped fuel this.

Dino and Dina are fraternal twins! Dino even is Autistic and Dina has ADHD.

Vivosaur battles are really taught in school unlike much other monster collecting and battling games and other RPGs but rather it's treated much like a sport with scientific and historical roles as well. I much tend to think that Hunter and Rosie and other kids on Vivosaur Island are there since it's summer break. The Patrol Team each have their own reasons for getting to be at Caliosteo: Dina and Dino are home-schooled, Todd was able to tag along since he became friends with them for being home-schooled as well, Pauleen probably doesn't get public school and obviously ran off to join the tournament, and Rupert gets his schedule managed by someone else but he probably goes to a tight private school that's flexible with their students being absent for periods of time.

Frontier does make it canon that everything takes place on an Earth similar to our own with the same countries but I chose to believe France doesn't exist. That's Nomadistand now. They're separated far from other countries? Well I guess they have some wide rivers now for borders.

Vivosaurs can be kept as pets but there are many laws and risks that come with it. Smaller vivosaurs are easier to tame but larger ones are more challenging. They're treated much the same as exotic pets: Yeah, it's nice to own one, but it's not very safe.

Nevada and Joe have a rivalry going on that doesn't make much sense to everyone else but it does keep journalists busy whenever a fossil tourney is announced. Sean also ties into this but he's more of the mediator who was invited to eat pizza and watch a documentary with friends not sit awkwardly on the couch and watch as his two friends throw pillows at one another to try and counter-argument each other about the topics of the documentary.

Duna barely remembers much of her home planet but Raptin, being older, does. This is possibly why he was more enraged by Duna's betrayal.

I think Joe and Rupert should get therapy animals/vivosaurs after Champions to help with the body-stealing trauma. As a treat. Rupert should get a fluffy white great pyrenees dog named Antionette and Joe should get a nine-banded armadillo named Sundance.

Rosie gets really into fossil battles to the point she goes pro and that's why she's at Caliosteo. She eventually finds out she'd Bi and dates Duna in the future (Duna finds herself identifying as a lesbian).

^The whole romance thing was kind of just brought on due to the amount of thrilling moments with Hunter so both Rosie and Duna kind of fall out of romantic love with him but still have a tight bond that borders on family.

Hunter also eventually goes pro with fossil battling but prefers to travel more. Rosie and Duna eventually get a quiet house on Vivosaur Island together and Hunter also lives there when he's not traveling. :)

I think Holt and Todd should meet up and be friends. :)

Pauleen would get really into fashion design when she's older. She's mostly inspired by fire type vivosaurs.

Rupert takes over his dad's company and even learns to ride a motorcycle.

Todd gets into rogue vivosaur wrangling since he finally found his courage during the events of Champions. :)

Dina takes over the park and Todd is her secretary.

Dino gets to go pro at fossil battles since he was better at making strategies and vivosaur teams (Dina's top strategy is 'hit everything with sharp claws and teeth really fast') and he gets a lot of trophies. He also gets to be Rupert's boyfriend/partner. :)

Cole gets to go back to school and gets back into his robotic engineering degree (he failed to earn all of his credits the first time around and just decided to drop out since he didn't like his professors anyway). He eventually finds work at FossilDig and Caliosteo making cleaning devices. Sometimes, when he's mad, he threatens to make Five Nights at Freddy's real.

Lola has a harder time deciding to go back to school since she failed her medical science classes. It takes some encouragement and inspiration from Cole and Lester to help her along.

Lester tries to follow his dream of being a musician again and gets to form his own rock band! They call themselves the 'B-0NES' in tribute to the BB Brigade.

Joe Wildwest is gay. :)

Zongazonga's corpse is stuck in eternity as a tourist attraction.

If you want more I leak headcannon stuff onto this workplace parody account on here that's also a bit RP-ish: @realjoewildwest

Have you ever thought about Dinaurian lore?

Actually I have!! I've seen some headcannons floating on here with Dinurians messing with Guhnash's origins. I also think that they also traded with other aliens before they came to Earth since running a huge ship does take a certain amount of supplies to manage. Unsurprisingly, I choose to also believe that nearly every Dinurian can have a battle hologram.

I also think that white-hair can also be a sign of aging but those with white hair and pale skin are usually linked in some way to the royal bloodline that is King Dynal's. It's only Dynal who carries on the royal bloodline these days, however.

When I say 'big space ship' I mean big enough that the Dinurians have a safe gene pool for repopulation methods. It was probably initially made for the purpose of escaping their home planet months in advance since their methods of destroying Guhnash kept failing.

Finished my last final and immediately drew this, you’re welcome

Sean from fossil fighters frontier! I need some fossil fighters dragons ha ha

[reyarey]

Omg I'm playing fossil fighters frontier and oh lord Drake. Buddy, nobody can beat Sean in my eyes, but you're a close second. That took a dark turn.

[awful-little-goose]

Chaotic trio between the best wardens there are, they get drinks after work

[awful-little-goose]

They’re great friends I promise

[suddenfossilfightersheadcanons]

oh and basically since my hcs are kinda scattered between posts i'mma just make this a little clearer here:

joe wildwest is dino's father, and is also becky and sean's uncle. dino, becky, and sean have a relatively fantastic friendship despite the fact that joe has a slightly threadbare relationship with becky and sean's father (that being joe's brother), but also will stand by him when push comes to shove.

terry and cole went to highschool together, as did todd and dina (at a separate institution). hunter also attended todd and dina's school for a while, but then moved away; he bullied her when they were students, and both of them struggle immensely with the after-effects—her with the shards of her self-esteem, him with the guilt of having done so. they're not really on speaking terms.

joe is an audhd king. change my mind.

[andydrarch]

Oh shoot! Sean and Ruby fanart for the first time in almost three years! I have fallen behind on making art for my own rarepair and I apologize to myself for that 

[andydrarch]

Oh shoot what I made another frontier tiktok comp ha ha whoopsie my hand slipped

[andydrarch]

Some sketches of some good fluffy boys I whipped together tonight! I’m trying to draw a bunch of vivosaurs for paleo pals just for like Mental Images when I write, so here’s Mei Lian’s v-raptor and Sean’s nychus! I like to headcanon their head feathers work like cockatoo crests, so they fan them out when they’re excited or angry. Guess which one is which lol

[andydrarch]

Frontier + Texts From Last Night

I was In A Mood and couldn’t draw lol, don’t expect quality/consistency i made these at midnight 

[andydrarch]

Drake took this picture but he wasn’t happy about it

Hey what’s up it’s my first frontier pic in a while and it’s just this crap. Sean and Violet are best friends with one brain cell and they drag Drake along to catalog their stupidity, that is all

[andydrarch]

The core appeal of shipping Sean and Ruby at this point for me is the aesthetic of two people laying in bed naked and infodumping their terrible life decisions

Taking a glimpse at Captain Stryker’s 2021 considerations

- Fossil Park funding framework

The Fossil Parks, much like the UN, the WHO, and the OECD, are an international organisation, hence funded by their composite nations. Unfortunately, unlike the UN, they have a mind-bogglingly complex fee calculation system. Officially, all three continental branches are meant to a third each; but whilst Europe consistently pays 38~40% of the total, America and Asia take turns falling behind. Individual countries’ contributions are decided based on GNI per capita and area of country occupied by dig sites (or DSA). In America, the USA is levied accordingly, and whines about it incessantly; Japan and Singapore likewise do the heavy lifting and complaining on Asia’s behalf.

The complex formula for fee calculation – a formula that would be simple were it not for DSA – has caused enough headaches that Fossil Park America and Fossil Park Asia have a feverish rivalry. The higher into management one goes, the more potent the acrimony. Sean and Liu Ren’s camaraderie is completely threadbare, and the former’s predecessor infamously resigned in a fit of fury at the latter. The poor relationship between the two branches is enough to impede meetings – Asia cannot propose any ventures without America criticising the smallest details, and Asia’s occasionally vetoed good ideas thanks to Liu Ren’s spite. Stryker’s been accused of siding with both continents: Though he’s lived in South Korea since 2007, the head of China’s fossil parks notoriously him a Western impostor in an international court, and the head honcho in the USA has accused him of being biased in Asia’s favour. (It doesn’t help that Australia, where Stryker grew up, is also part of Fossil Park Asia.)

Stryker is determined to leverage this acrimony for good by the end of 2025, and he’s certain that changing the fee calculation system is the best way to go about it. Sometimes, he considers removing DSA as a variable – but there are some countries with gargantuan GNI PPPs, such as Liechenstein, Qatar, and Singapore, that have little to no fossil fighting scene. Another method he’s contemplated is using the profit from dig sites to determine payments, but he’s fully aware that could disproportionately affect relatively poor regions with a vibrant fighting sector, such as the Philippines and Thailand.

On one hand, COVID-19 has made any kind of economic overhaul reckless, as the Fossil Parks aren’t faring fantastically following iron lockdowns and gut-wrenching death tolls in many participant nations. On the other, such a change has the potential to stimulate economies. The course that 2021 takes will determine whether Stryker takes a proposal to the table this year or next.

-Dead body regulations

The current protocol for fighters who find human remains is to leave them untouched. Numerous television programmes (not least of all Off-map) have made a point of violating this, but many news outlets remain critical of those breaking this rule. Stryker is fully aware of the disrespect to the deceased implied by leaving them to fester in bogs and by roadsides, and believes much could be done for missing fighters’ families by making an official change to this protocol. Though aware it’s difficult to do more than report remains to the nearest warden or staff member, he’s certain that there can be a more humane way of handling those that once lived.

-Bonk ban

The ban on relationships between colleagues was enacted in early 1999 in the wake of Bill Clinton’s impeachment. Few doubt that it was established with good intentions, but in practice, it’s difficult to manage. Some say it’s led to too much prying into private lives; others believe that such a degree of scrutiny is permissible if people can’t keep their love life out of the workplace.

Once upon a time, Stryker sat firmly on the fence. Now, knowing he’s at risk of demotion if he’s caught in his own relationship of three years with a coworker, he’s decidedly in the former camp. As he remembers that the incredibly well-admired Annick Dufour, the second-last head of Fossil Park Europe prior to Drake, was relegated to finance for being caught dating a subordinate (who was himself made redundant), he’s considering using her case as an example of the legislation’s shortcomings. Otherwise, he fears, his ulterior motive will be far too clear – and God knows, the last thing he wants is for his staff to suffer for his own official perfidy. Morally, breaking the bonk ban is fine by him – but if an employee were to be derided due to others’ suspicion, he’d be shattered.

-Fossil Park Africa

Whilst the fighting industry is booming in some African countries (such as South Africa), there is no Fossil Park Africa to speak of. However, the short-term economic cost of establishing a Fossil Park Africa could prove crippling, especially in light of COVID. Stryker is determined to go through with it, but all three continental heads have been trying to dissuade him for months. Liu Ren, Drake, and Sean hold more than enough power to veto this proposition, and if Stryker doesn’t make his case firmly enough, they almost certainly will.
