Cowboys Future AU ft. mostly Max

[captainmvf]

Happy Halloween! Do you mind if you share another of your Fossil Fighters AUs?

You are in luck!

Future AU where these two cowboys get married and have a kid. Joe named him after a triceratops species.

I actually have a Halloween sketch I did months ago too:

So you want some asks? Hmmm... How about your Future Cowboys AU? I've seen from your art that Max really admires his dads so I'd like to know more about what he admires and does with them!

Hi! ^^

This might get a little long but here you go:

From what I've drawn- Yes! Max loves his dads and looks up to them very much! Since Joe Wildwest is still a notable Master Fighter he gets to do some pretty intense vivosaur matches for TV broadcasts and Max loves watching his dad's vivosaurs kick ass and his dad look cool. He even gets to sit in VIP seats during a few tourneys to cheer his dad on. Since Mags has a more quiet job it can be a bit boring at the museums and fossil archives for Max but he loves his dad's cooking! Max's favorite foods have turned out to be hamburgers and stir-fried vegetables and he usually begs for his dad to make calzones and cakes for special occasions (Joe even begs for some other food than takeout and cold sandwiches since he's still a bad cook).

Other ideas I have include:

-Joe and Mags have a heated bed due to health stuff but Max and (later) Chomp get to crawl into the bed when they're uneasy at night due to nightmares or storms or even get to nap during the day when no one is home.

-Joe is usually the one to put Max to bed when he falls asleep elsewhere and even Max likes pretending to be asleep so his dad can carry him safe and securely.

-Although his parents were hesitant to introduce their vivosaurs so early to Max he was very very very persuasive (begging) to see the vivosaur family as soon as he learned how to open his mouth and now both teams are considered very tight babysitters to Max. All of the vivosaurs are very gentle with him and mindful of their size, teeth, and claws. Max likes to rest up against one of a few with some snacks before watching a movie. He likes cuddling up with Mari the Megalo and Davey the Heracules but his favorite playmates are Gwen the Aopteryx and Goliad the Bulgon. Sissy the Coatlus and Denver the Ptera are co-parents to him and Chomp and treat them like their own flapplings when they're out.

-Same sort of goes to the Patrol Team and ex-BB Brigade Executives. They're his babysitters and non-blood-related aunts and uncles and their teams like the lil Wildwest. Max isn't afraid of boneysaurs like the rest of his class and Dina's toothy vivosaurs don't roughhouse too much with him.

-Max loves his dads very much but he never gives them differentiating nicknames to the annoyances of those outside of this family. Since he goes to public school his teachers and classmates would get confused as to which dad he was talking about. (Teacher: "Okay Max, we need to know which of your fathers is picking you up this afternoon." Max, seven years old and doesn't know his dads first names: "You know! Dad!") Joe thought it would have been a good idea to try and teach Max that he was 'Pops' and Mags was 'Daddy' but it didn't stick and the teachers were just confused. Nowadays it's just a matter of tone with how Max says 'Dad'.

-Despite how well-known Joe and his family's last name is, Max doesn't really show off his home life. When he first invites his best friends Zoe and Drake to his house he doesn't get why they're so flabbergast to see all the Master Fighters that come and go and even finally get Max to notice just how famous his family is. This information goes to his head throughout the next few years.

-Max has also inherited Mags's own clumsiness and Joe's hotheaded habits from his younger years so it's a bit of a ride to have to unpack all of that. Both habits combined with a love of dinosaurs and fossil has him running into the nearest dig site and slipping into plenty of mud.

-Chomp was a gift from Joe and Max loves his little buddy with all of his heart and wants to make a full team to fill out his roster once Chomp is a fully grown Tricera. His only problem is that he has hard luck to finding fossils and especially head fossils. Sometimes he whines to his dads to literally throw him a bone but they've held tough to the belief that he should grow into his fossil hunting boots and raising Chomp if he wants to be a good vivosaur fighter one day. This has lead to some tears on Max's end but he's always more glad to get a leg, arm, or body fossil on his own merits. It's going to take him a few good years and a lot of adventures with Chomp and his friends before he gets a full team.

-When Max was little he would get to sit in Mags's lap at his job and watch him inspect fossils.

-Max sees Joe as the defacto vivosaur specialist in the family and always goes to him for vivosaur advice on battling and caring or just to ask curious questions.

-He gets plenty of rides on Denver the Ptera and Sissy the Coatlus but Max prefers flying with Denver since he's smaller. Max wishes he had a flying vivosaur.

-Mags dotes on Max whenever he wants a hug or gets scrapes or bruises. He even likes telling tall tales such as 'I built you out of clay!' to him that Max 100% believes without a second thought until middle school where he has to piece together that he has two dads and is blood-related to them both (fun angst times woohoo).

-Joe also dotes on him but in a more classic Dad way where he carries him with one arm and throws him up into the air to pretend he can fly. There's a lot of piggyback rides and clinging to his legs.
