FF HEADCANON LIST

CRACKS KNUCKLES these are all imported from google docs bc thats where ive been keeping all my thoughts :] im not sure if theres any repeat HCs in here and im sorry if someones got to me before i have but these all came from my own brain !!! these are all very miscellaneous HCs but they generally revolve around vivosaurs and revival. some of them are rather macabre so a solid CW warning here for mentions of dinosaur body horror and death. ALSO SPOILERS FOR FOSSIL FIGHTERS 1 AND 2 BUT MOSTLY 2 LETS GO

modern boneysaurs/zombiesaurs

i think it is entirely possible to replicate a boney/zombiesaur outside of whatever sorcery zongazonga used to resurrect them in the first place. i think its relatively well known undead vivosaurs are a direct result of ZZ and his ancient tournament, and although zombiesaurs are usually claimed to be used in such tournaments most often, i think boneysaurs are just a variant of that but where less used due to weakness and general incompatibility. theyre all undead vivosaurs. thats it. on to the meat of this headcanon, boney/zombiesaur resurrection: i think zombiesaurs could be the result of attempting to revive a deceased vivosaur, while boneysaurs might be caused by man or machine malfunction while reviving a fossil. i think this might be an interchangeable effect: zombiesaurs might emerge from resurrections, and boneysaurs might emerge from revivals, although altogether i think this entire phenomenon is extremely rare. fossil revival goes entirely against the laws of nature and thus, nature must step in at some points to attempt to stop the process, although common fossil park high-tech machinery probably stops most instances like this from happening. boneysaurs emerging from failed revivals are almost always the cause of very poor cleaning, (maybe attempting to revive a heavily damaged, failed fossil head?) or outdated/unkempt fossil revival machinery. boney/zombiesaurs were so common in ZZ’s time because of such poor methods of revival. at some point during a “doomed” fossil revival, the skin and flesh of the vivosaur its supposed to resemble never quite “renders” in. the skin is registered and stitched together, but only holds the bones in place with an unknown black substance, leaving it void black in the same way a texture in a video game may just fail to load. presumably boneysaurs are almost always immediately dead in the revival chamber after the process is over due to lack of functioning organs, skin, etc, without some kind of support or magic. or maybe they are magic- every bad unnatural part of a revival machine fused into one being, and thats what allows them to live on. on the other hand, this could mean any type of boneysaur could emerge from any dinosaur- pterosaurs, therizinosaurs, raptors, maybe- maybe- just a thought, maybe even super revival vivosaurs could have this effect happen too. so, so rarely though. so rarely, its probably never even happened before in recorded vivosaur revival history. 

as for zombiesaurs- this phenomenon could happen when a recently deceased vivosaur is attempted revival. recently deceased, as in, undecayed flesh-still-in-tact. i imagine this happens much more often than boneysaurs- although, i dont think many people are trying to revive dead vivosaurs.

zombiesaurs, fresh from the revival chamber, are almost always damned and in pain, and serve as a reminder to fighters that the laws of nature can only be twisted so far, and they are best be put down. presumably no fossil cleaning facilities will allow a fighter to attempt to revive a dead vivosaur due to the danger and the frightening, disturbing nature of zombiesaurs. fossil damage + neon goo every fighter has encountered the bright purple (green in the OG FF) substance that appears during cleaning when a fossil is too damaged in one area. this material wouldnt be produced from the fossil itself, but rather generated by the fossil cleaning machinery when it detects damage within the bone, kinda like a 3D printer. this is why fossil cleaning is so meticulous, and why it has to be done in such specific conditions with heavy surveillance and a tight time limit. this prevents the vivosaur from having broken bones when it is revived- it is a bright, obvious substance, and it feels much like a warm, firm jelly with a hard, synthetic core that sews bones together. maybe its different in other regions, explaining the color difference amongst games. it is almost completely unnoticeable when the vivosaur is revived, nearly perfectly mimicking bone and flesh to prevent issues later on in the vivosaurs life. as good of a bone mimic as it might be, i think a very heavily damaged bone would still be a weak point during battle or an area of pain or irritation for the vivosaur. that is why it is best to clean your fossils as well as you can. maybe this goo is designed to be replaced with real bone by the vivosaurs body later in life, but i have yet to think about that too much. perhaps its soft enough to be destroyed and replaced by the body’s natural healing functions, but hard enough to act as bone? And perhaps thats why its best to let your vivosaur rank up (rest+heal) before taking them to battle. UNRELATED HEADCANON- GUHNASH COULD HAVE HAD A COOLER DESIGN. I DONT LIKE HIM HE LOOKS LIKE A TADPOLE. i have a vision in mind for a cooler guhnash redesign- i like the snake-ish look, but maybe he could be like. an infinitely long being. nobody knows where he starts or ends. a head at the front of an infinitely massive body that consumes everything, and nobody knows where the eaten planets goes. kinda like a jörmungandr-like being. idk i just think a “planet eater” with living brains should be more eldritch and god-like and mysterious. ANYWAYS vivosaur ecosystems? there is literally no way a vivo ecosystem wouldnt form. NO WAY. so many dinosaurs and seeing how OFTEN they are abandoned- refer to the opening scene of fossil fighters champions- it would not be any surprise feral vivosaurs wouldnt breed and form small ecosystems among themselves and around fossil parks. its not an uncommon sight to see pterosaurs flying overhead or sauropods munching on trees, although id bet theropods and more dangerous vivosaurs would have teams of park rangers to keep them under control. refer once again to FFC opening scene. this would explain the seemingly infinite amount of fossils in the dig sites, how you can find vivosaurs in only specific areas- although thats leading into a rather dark topic and i would rather not talk about it right now LOL i will leave that open to interpretation. jurassic park knock off SOME OTHER LITTLE MISC HCS TOO SHORT TO WRITE ENTIRE TOPICS ABOUT: because ZZ is a mix of boneysaur and zombiesaur and hes also an ancient sorcerer he smells fucking rank. so fucking bad. hes got maggots and shit hes only held together by magic but somehow he kicks ass. but hes fucking stinky so at what cost boneysaurs have no concept of feelings and arent really desirable as vivos and zombiesaurs only know rage and pain, also making them undesirable, for very very good reasons. they are taboo to talk about among fighters but most of the time they are only myths because of how rare they are feral vivosaurs dont have medals, only revived vivos do. that means they are standalone animals and they are also generally undesirable for fighters but they can still be tamed, if one wishes. theres way, WAY more fossil parks and dig sites than shown in the games. fossil battling is as well known and used as much as people love music and video games in the fossil fighters universe. vivosaurs are an essential part of society, although there is often controversy on the ethics of fossil battles and revival. pokemon knock off alright thats all i feel like typing for now thanks for reading this far lads. i love dinossuars. i wanna write some things on dinaurians but maybe later after ive introduced saar here :)

[inspired-by-the-music]

y’all, I want to take a break from reading for school (so! much! reading!) to think about things coming up for the blog. Brace for a long post 😂

Normally, I tend to refrain from posting these kinds of things because I like to reserve the right to do as I please (for lack of a better phrase 😂), but I do want to open some things up for discussion. I think I can reserve the right to do as I please AND let you guys know what’s on my mind while benefiting from your perspectives!

I would really like to hear your opinions on the following things:

1. Kai Social Media AU

so, I re-read one of my old drabbles about kai, and I am considering turning this into a social media au! basically, I want to hear your thoughts on the following issues.

y/n or oc? the drabble obviously follows the y/n route, and lately I’ve leaned toward using ocs for long prose fics bc a.) I like the character development for ocs and b.) I find second person sometimes limiting on sentence structure. since this au would be all social media, it doesn’t ~really~ matter whether the main character is y/n or an oc— I just kinda wanna know what you prefer!

should this wait until the end of the for you saga? I’m not sure if I’ve spoiled this here or not (my brain is a mess y’all), but there is not one but TWO spin-offs for the for you universe. the second spin-off is mostly complete & the third is in the works bc let’s just say the star of that one is just... he’s assertive, okay, and he wants his story told! writing social media aus alongside full fics isn’t a challenge for me (working alone, I tend to binge-write social media aus when I should be asleep— see karate kid for proof bc that miniseries was written in three nights). basically, I’m just asking— would you read Kai alongside these full length fics or do you think it’s better to wait until everything is tied up and posted with for you?

2. After For You

for this section, I am wondering which work you think I should resume after the completion of all three for you fics.

Ardently: the love interest in this modernized Pride and Prejudice au is Kyungsoo (such a cutie omg), and the second male lead is Kai (starting to think I have a problem with Kai content 😅). I love this story very much, and I’m pretty sure I only paused it to work on the Kyuhyun fic A Million Moments.

A Million More Moments: sequel to the aforementioned Kyuhyun fic, starring (primarily) Heechul! this one is entirely written. It’s just hard to juggle multiple full fics at once, and I’m pretty sure I held onto this in my google docs because I wanted to start Irenic.

Irenic: Monsta X (and multiple other groups tbh) Divergent AU. I love this story too, and I’m pretty sure that I paused it because my mom (yes, ladies and gentlemen, my mother is the main influence on this blog & if you enjoy for you, you should probably thank her for pitching the idea in the middle of a summer night) didn’t like switching gears between Irenic & A Million Moments when they were being posted at the same time.

3. Beta Reader

if any of you would like to be a beta reader for any of these upcoming stories (especially the upcoming for you spin-offs), please send me an ask or message me on my main @certainhappiness! rather than needing help with things like editing grammar, I need for somebody with an unspoiled mind to read these fics and make sure that the timelines are matching up. without spoiling too much: for you is basically structured around the idea of alternate universes & I’ve been hopping between them too much to keep things straight in my own mind 😂 and Mom (the og beta reader) has been hopping right along with me sooooo things are messy at the home base. pls send help

Note 1: Querencia is currently on hiatus, but Aimee & I do know where the story is going. Any Other Name’s revision is still in the works (albeit slowly and sometimes inconsistently) & I am so grateful to everyone who continues to read it!

Note 2: school is demanding almost all of my attention during the week, but I do make time to write for the blog! so please be patient with delayed updates!
