Dino Squad - Tumblr Posts

Imagine dinos squad, but accurate dinosaurs. Would it be better if dr veloci was normal size for a velociraptor, or had gigantism?

Or if ms. Moynihan had some health complication that meant that she couldn’t fight veloci without it taking a toll on her, so she pretended to be on his side for a while to bide herself time?

what if they hunted together (or dino dated) and that’s one of the reasons he didn’t hunt her down earlier. As in, he felt too guilty to use her as an experiment early on in his science thing, and he is too conflicted about it, so she got away, and he didn’t use her dna to make a dino army

imagine a role swap au, veloci being the teacher/ kind of parent figure to the squad, and ms Moynihan is the evil scientist.

Dino squad remake/ au ideas

What dinosaur (preferably from the cretaceaus period I think it was) do you think Liam from Dino squad would be if he somehow ended up with the same DNA mishap as the others?

I think oviraptor for narrative purposes (think modern remake with accurate dinos) as oviraptors were mistaken to be egg thieves, when they were merely minding their own business, nesting and brooding

I think it'd be cool if In an episode , the group occasionally made jokes about the egg eating, and Liam got irritated over time because the jokes were inaccurate, and they weren't listening to him about this. In the episode, he could have some character growth where he learns to communicate better because the others are willing to work with him, and he establishes boundaries. I think it'd be nice.

the mutated animal(s) of the episode (in my remake au thingy, the animals revert back to their cretateous evolutionary ancestor) would be escaped from a zoo, and they'd use liams knowledge on certain animals to help them (in my mind, he has a hyperfixation on insects in general, but a special interest in weevils. Weevils need love too.)

liam and buzz begin to get along better due to their shared interest in insects

In my mind, my version of Liam has a phobia of being alone and/ or useless to his friends. He feels like he needs to be useful, or he panics and stresses internally. He also helps bees and his back garden is a haeven for insects (unless they're invasive or otherwise harmful)

For some reason, I'm irrationally irritated at the letter p being in orange when surrounded by parentheses ()

thoughts on dino squad? (2007)

(btw it’s episodic. You can watch it in any order tbh (first episode is titled ‘the beginning’))

I absolutely adore it!

I run the account Victor-Veloci-Simp-69.

I've been thinking about linking it to my Main, purely bc when I reblog and reply on posts, it shows my main, so it seems like I don't interact with people as my DS account, which makes me sad because it feels like I might be interpreted as standoffish? But I never have time, and it feels insignificant to do so.

I watched the show when I was a kid, then rediscovered it a couple of years ago, and now every few years I rewatch it.

Its not Technically a "good" show but eh. I love it.

I think the reason why I'm so obsessed with the show is because (This going to get so long, I am so sorry, I have so many thoughts)

There are so much that is just never adressed. I have so many thoughts. There is so much to expand on, so many AUs that are there for the imagining.

I genuinely like the episodes. The plot is genuinely so much fun. The why's of these plots is...questionable. The how's is fun tho.

IT IS SO INCONSISTENT! Okay, not part of why I like it, but Ahhhhhhhhh. None of it makes sense. The characterization changes literally seconds apart!!!!! WHAT!!!!!

JUST FROM EPISODE 1: WHY IS BUZZ DEPICTED AS AN ANIMAL LOVER AND THEN GOES "NAH, I'M NOT SAVING THE DOG FROM DROWNING". This happens seconds Apart!!!!

Why does Roger act indifferent about the assignment and then say "we should work together on this assignment" and Care about the assignment. SECONDS APART!!!!!

THEN THERE'S THE ANIMATION! OH MY GOD. At 4:21, Caruso is shown barefoot. At 4:25 HE HAS SHOES ON.

Ms Moynihan after they get mutated goes: "I told u not to go into the water" NO YOU DIDN'T. YOU NEVER SAID THAT. WHY R U LYING.

(Okay, so she could have said that off screen,I'll give it a pass, but also Literally No Where was that message implied to have been said before she stated that. Also, that implies that she knows Veloci is regularly dumping shit in the water.)

Also, Veloci injects Peter in episode 1 and this is just...never adressed again? What does that do to Peter, besides his eyes changing? THERE IS NO EFFECT WHAT DOES IT DO, I DON’T REMEMBER SEEING THE GUY EVER AGAIN WHAT!!! WHY DID VELOCI DO THAT.

Since Peter was injected with the Ooze, but Veloci is looking for his "perfect dinosaurs", then that inplies Peter is a failed dino. What happened to him? I am in hysterics. What. DOES VELOCI JUST HAVE LIKE A BUNCH OF STAFF THAT ARE FAILED DINOS!!!? I HAVE QUESTIONS!!!

I AM....AHHHHHHHHHHHH....I am so normal about this hahahaha.

Which is probably why it sticks in my head so much. Any media I get obsessed with usually has some aspect that makes me want to rip apart a chair with my teeth. Half the fun is telling my friend about the thing that makes me choke in frustration/rage. I like ranting. Its part of the fun to me.

4) I love the animation style.

5) I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS, I AM CLAWING AT MY ENCLOSURE, HOW!!! HOW DID VELOCI AND MS M SURVIVE IN THAT CAVE???? WHERE THEY SLEEPING FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS??? IF SO, HOW WHERE THEY NEVER DISCOVERED BY HUMANS IN ALL THAT TIME?

AT WHAT POINT DID THEY AWAKEN? THROUGH WHAT TIME PERIODS HAVE THEY LIVED? HOW DID THEY EXPIERIENCE WORLD WAR 1? WORLD WAR 2? ALL THE TRAGEDIES? How did they get from point A to point B????

How did they get to their current lives?

There is so much that remains a mystery. And with the large amounts of time Veloci and Ms M had, there is so much thats just. Not there. There are so many gaps to fill. There are so many AUs that can happen. And with the inconsistencies, there are so many places where I can't image the characters are anything but either unreliable or maybe even straight up lying...

Oh, and that's the other thing:

5) They are all, and I mean every single character, Major Assholes. The assholiest. Their only consistent character trait is being an asshole. I love it.

Anyway, I am sooooi normal about this show. So normal.

Also, very important! I love your dinosquad posts!!!! They're really cool, and I love seeing you in the fandom! Just. Feel really gushy about your posts. Also, I always feel really happy when I see you liked one of my Dinosquad posts. Its a small fandom, so I always feel like I'm talking into a void.

I have more thoughts, but this post has gotte really long as is lmao. I am so sorry.

This ask meant a lot to me, so thanks ♥.

Hey, please tell me your thoughts on Dinosquad, I want to hear them so much.

I love/reluctantly watch it

So many inaccuracies. The autism episode was a one off, they should've had more disability representation. I think it would've been cool if ms Moynihan was an amputee. If she and veloci have been around for that long, one of them is bound to have lost a limb at some point, and I don't want it to be Victor, disabled villain trope and all. (If they rewrite and make her an amputee) They should also consult an amputee when writing ms Moynihan. She should also have a bunch of trauma of we're assuming that she lived through both ww1 and ww2

I want an episode where they slowly piece this together, and they realise that she's better at hiding it than they thought. They also debate getting her therapy, but realise she'll be seen as mad (not just the dino thing, but the experiencing ww1 and ww2), so they take it upon themselves to learn how to help, they learn from ms Moynihan that she prefers them to communicate what they're doing, as she was concerned about them potentially slacking. Or it's better written, as I don't know her character all too well

I ramble, sorry (but not really)

I think I love the concept of it, and wish to at least vocalise (? This is a text post so idk) how I wish it was done. also, hc that Victor only transforms his head in front of employees bc his raptor form embarasses him because they expect him to be bigger, and his intimidation no longer works (rewrite au)

if Victor veloci was a deinonychus, could his name be deino

Daniel deino

terror

he likes his species of dinosaur so much that he named himself after it

do u think he moved to live away from the cave he was trapped in, or do u think he stayed because he didn't want to leave it since it was the last place he was before the extinction event?

dinosquad art dump. (offical characters only in this one) if you've seen these on my alt account shhh

the year ive made these is a bit annoying, probs around 2020-2023?

Father son duo of the year. They’re going to go commit eco-terrorism

Baby veloci

this might be the worst thing i’ve ever done

Happy New Year, folks!! This price is a few months old, but I've been waiting to post this for the new year - this is some of the fandoms I'm into and have loved this year. I hope 2024 is a kinder year to those who need kindness 💕

Couldn't fit every character I wanted, but there are bits and pieces of them in this lol
