#benrius for life actually

gay people never say 'i love you', its always gotta be some shit like

[jupitersrising]

My thoughts on the Chaos Theory teaser trailer (this is a shitpost of my thoughts and not an analysis). Go watch it first if you haven't yet.

Okay, alright. This is a weird point to start off at but the TRAUMA of it all omg. Darius saying "we got through this together" and then being alone and shocked when he sees Ben. Pointing a taser at him first thing and being alone in a cabin in the WOODS like the treehouse. Plus all the bells and wind chimes on the front to alert him (thanks to this post for pointing it out)

I love when we address character's trauma it's going to be so mess I can't wait.

Ben and Darius both swerving across the road. Love that for them. They are the bad drivers rep we deserve.

Might come to a shock to some of you, since this account was literally created to talk about the benji fic I write, but when I first watched the show I was a huuuuge benrius shipper. Then I hopped onto ao3, read some benji fics, and got hooked. So I'm super excited to see the benrius crumbs.

I always thought of Ben as the person who would pull away from the group but he's not. It's Darius that's isolated and Ben who has to bring him back.

I wonder if all of the campers lost touch with each other, not just Darius, and that's why they have to go warn everyone instead of just calling them. Like the "we did it together" line in the flashback could be interpreted as they ALL pulled away from each other and now they have to get back together to save each other again because it's the only way.

I hate the trope of found families breaking up but I wonder if that was what the line was alluding to.

WE GET AN ALLOSAURUS!! I love . I'm so excited.

I am squinting at the stills trying to figure out which dinosaur is which.

I have to address beefy Ben, okay. He looks silly, I would die for him. Jwcc Ben, epilogue Ben, and jwct Ben are all different people and we just have to accept that. This is the multiverse, we're just living in it. /j

I hope we see Sammy and Yaz together living their best life on a ranch.

Also I really, really want a Bumpy and Ben reunion in this show. Firecracker was cool and all but I will always prefer Bumpy and Ben. That's all I ask for. The rest of it can be dogshit (but I don't think it will be) and I'll still be happy as long as I get that.

Again, I'll actually analyze this later but these are my immediate thoughts and are obviously open to change.

JWCT SPOILERS FROM THE TRAILER BELOW

BRO WTH OMGOSH. SO FAR THIS ARE THE THINGS GOING ON IN MY HEAD FROM THAT TRAILER

FIRST OFF...... OMGOSH WHY DOES EVERYONE LOOK SO HOT. AND WHY IS BEN SO BEAUTIFULLY BLONDE AND PRETTY BOY😭😭 DARIUS IS KILLING ME WITH HIS STANCE IN THE BOAT. THE FU???

Okay now for business. "I'm not the same Brooklyn you knew before" Bitch no you FUCKING AREN'T. BECAUSE YOU HAVE GROWN UP. AND have trauma. But babes....what do you mean by that???? Brother. You're gonna get yourself ACTUALLY killed. Why did you burn the photo....there was no reason. ALSO LOVE THE HAIR WTH.

I think the other girl in the trailer we didn't see is either Mae or you know BEN PINCUS' GIRLFRIEND. AND IF IT IS.... I'M SO OVER MY LIFE. BUT THE GAYS CAN'T WIN. AND....I have the sneaking suspicion that benrius (yay) or Benji(bluh ew ew burns...jokesssss) is never gonna happen. I hope he breaks up with her if that ends up true.

I will sue if Brooklyn and Darius end up together. And no it's not because I want Darius and Ben or whatever. Heck they can all stay single except for yasammy for all I care. I just don't see it. It does not compliment each other in any way, and doesn't make sense to me. And I'm a hugeeee Kenji x Brooklyn because it was a very fair balance of differences and similarities. And it was so requited. I just don't see why if you can see she wasn't committed to being with Kenji that she'd be committed to be with Darius. I think she just can't immediately jump into a relationship.

Darius just had his first love it doesn't make sense for him to get with someone. The field of romance is unfamiliar to him. I think he needs to heal first too. They both do. Before anything happens. But guys...it would mean so much to me if benrius in a future skip ends up together because I NEED THIS WTH...And their dynamic just makes me so happy I can't lose that. I'd be borderline sad. Even if the bond was queer platonic. I'd take it. Even if they never kiss or hug or whatever I'd take it. Even if nothing happens with brooks or Ben I'd take it!!! Better non canon than canon am I right. Pull a gustholomule so I can stay delusional.

If anything and I mean ANYTHING HAPPENS TO YASAMMY IM THROWING ROCKS. NO ONE IS DYING THEY ARE LITERALLY IMMORTAL. IT CAN'T JUST BE THE WHITE CHARACTERS WHO CHEAT DEATH.

WTF did Ben keep it a secret that Brooklyns alive?? Delusional version: He doesn't want his chances with Darius to blow....ahahahaha. Real version: He doesn't want his friends to be upset with how much Brook has changed. Or their grief to be invalidated. Or for them to give her a chance when she has changed so much in a very not moral way. Welp. Maybe he just feels like Brook kept it a secret for a reason, and I might as well not call her out. Anywho you guys help me too. I'm insane.

Bye guys. Stay prehistoric!!!!💚🤎🦕

Finally got around to filling this out. Forgot about it for a while, but decided to try and get it done before S2 dropped.

Benmina: Fav - They have my heart and soul, they're my Jurassic OTP. I'm perfectly happy with them just being a BROTP in canon, but I can't help that I wish something more could've come from their friendship. They've inspired me to write fanfic like no other ship has in a long time. I love them individually, I love their dynamic, their bond, I love their banter and teasing, I love that they're so comfortable around each other, I love that they can talk about their feelings with each other, that they trust and confide in each other. I think they an amazing friendship, each other's biggest supporters and champions (after Sammy for Yaz in canon, obviously), and I think there is true potential for something more than friendship in another life.

Yasammy: Love - Probably my favorite canon couple. I wasn't crazy invested in them as a ship originally in CC, but they've grown on me a lot in CT and I was happy to see them patching things up in S1 after their time apart. (In retrospect I also see some parallels between Yasammy to Kataang, so it's no wonder why they've grown on me.) I wish nothing but the best for them and all the happiness in the world.

Kenlynn: Love - Also wasn't crazy invested originally. I had no dino in the fight between the Kenlynn vs Darilynn debate. But then (kinda like Maiko), they broke up and I got more invested. I think there's more to them than a lot of the fandom likes to brush aside (for their preferred ships), but it remains up in the air - if the N6 reunite with Brooklynn - whether Kenlynn will sail again or sink below the waves permanently.

Samlynn: Love - This is the ship I don't talk about near enough, but I think had things gone slightly differently in CC, this could have been the big ship. Idk. I just had an idea for a fic with them and how different things could've gone at the start of their time at camp if _____ had happened. Just an interesting ship and dynamic, I think.

Benlynn: Love - No question here I've fallen down the Benlynn rabbit hole. I am hoping that if Kenlynn doesn't reconcile romantically, perhaps Brooklynn is actually Ben's girlfriend (not that he's aware) and even if it's a rocky start, maybe something romantic, something real will result down the road. Who knows. We'll just have to wait and see.

Benrius: Like - If they end up going this route down the road in canon, I think they'll be upgraded to Love in my shipping chart. I think they're good friends and a good BROTP as it stands in canon, but given Darius' current feelings for Brooklynn and Ben having a girlfriend, I don't expect anything currently to happen between them.

Darilynn: Like - Had CC ended with Darilynn instead of Kenlynn, their spots on this chart would be reversed as well. And I think Darilynn is a fine ship and I do like their bond and dynamic, but I'm not really interested in them becoming anything in canon. I can't fault Darius for falling in love with Brooklynn, but at the end of the day, she's still his brother's ex-girlfriend and I don't think that situation would result in anything but pain for everyone.

Bowman Brothers: BROTP - Despite the rocky start to their situation in CT, I am happy to see them acting like brothers again. I just want them to be a happy family again and not be split apart by grief and romantic interests. Just let them be brothers. As someone who's only sibling is adopted, I found them going from strangers to friends to brothers an amazing arc. And Kenji's "You and me, we're brothers, right?" in S1 destroyed me.

Yazji: BROTP - Not as the others on this list, but so much of their dynamic, especially in S2 & S3 reminded me of dealing with my own sibling. I've identified most with Yaz and her dedication to responsibility while Kenji preferred to chill/slack off was pretty reflective of myself and my sibling at that age. Also I don't think after the "Get down here, dingus!" line in S3 I can picture them as anything other than sibling-like, though nowhere near the Bowman Brothers.

Samji: Neutral - This is a ship I've seen in some fanfics, but I'm not personally really invested in it. Given their personalities, especially in CC, it could have probably worked out pretty well though.

And I think that wraps it up for now. Anyone pairings not mentioned I either don't really see anything between or don't have an interest in.

made this for some friends but thought i'd post here too <3 no credit needed if used, have at it!

Rating JWCC Ships

🦖 Benji (Ben/Kenji) - 7/10. I totally get where shippers are coming from with this. They had some cute season one moments and Kenji’s reaction to Ben’s “death” was quietly intense. I feel like this is an opposites attract type of ship, where Ben is always prepared and Kenji is...willfully unprepared.

🦕 Bensammy (Ben/Sammy) - 5/10. I don’t have a lot to say about this one because I don’t really see it but I don’t dislike it either.

🦖Yazben (Ben/Yasmina) - 5/10. Ah, the same as above. I don’t really see them together but I also don’t dislike them together.

🦕Brookben (Ben/Brooklynn) - 5/10. Look, it’s not that I think Ben likes dudes exclusively...it’s just that I also think that the girls don’t particularly like him romantically either. I don’t see them as a couple but I don’t dislike the ship. I can be persuaded!

🦖Benrius (Ben/Darius) - 10/10. We got such good content for them! That little moment on the monorail where Darius decides that he won’t ask Ben to risk his life for them but Ben does it anyway. How hard Darius tried to save Ben and how guilty he felt about it after. All of the touching. Pretty much everything about season 3, even their fight over Ben staying was so sweet. And the I love you made me scream with joy. The way that Darius accepted Ben needed to come to the decision to leave the island on his own and how he was waiting on the boat for Ben. I love them.

🦕Darenji (Darius/Kenji) - 6/10. I had to really think about my rating for this one because Kenji is such a dick. He really decided to shove responsibility off on Darius while trying to take credit for all of his plans. And he does this all the way up through season 3 right before they get on the boat. And then he blames Darius for leaving Brooklyn [temporarily] and isn’t over it by the time the credits roll as if Kenji isn’t directly responsible for making their lives harder than they need to be and his laziness and lying hasn’t risked their lives. That makes it sound like I hate this ship but tbh the first time I saw them together, I thought that they would be an interesting ship and there were moments spread throughout where I could see it.

🦖Dinostar (Darius/Brooklyn) - 9/10. These two are so cute together! They’ve got lots of cute moments and they work surprisingly well. Their nicknames for each other are super cute.

🦕Darisammy (Darius/Sammy) - 5/10. This is another one that I’m pretty neutral on.

🦖Dariyaz (Darius/Yasmina) - 5/10. I said it with Ben/girls but I feel the same for Yasmina/boys. I don’t really see them as a couple but I could be persuaded.

🦕Kenjilynn (Kenji/Brooklynn) - 8/10. I like the way they bicker in the beginning but honestly, didn’t start shipping them until season 3 where Kenji gets so upset about leaving Brooklynn behind. It definitely shed a different light on their relationship.

🦖Yazji (Kenji/Yasmina) - 4/10. Any chance that I might have shipped them - and it was a slim chance to begin with for the reasons stated above - absolutely went out the window when Kenji was so goddamn lazy and such an asshole that he wound up making Yasmina’s injured ankle even worse.

🦕Sammji (Kenji/Sammy) - 7/10. These two could be really cute together! I really liked how Kenji was soft with Sammy while she was poisoned and how he was willing to moo for her to ease some of her suffering. Plus, they’re both really outgoing and fun so I think they compliment each other well. I also really like the idea of Kenji going to Sammy’s farm and meeting her family and them adopting him as their son-in-law and giving him the love that he obviously needs.

🦖Yalynn (Yasmina/Brooklynn) - 6/10. I like that Yaz is really loyal and it would be cool to see that type of loyalty aimed at Brooklynn. But the fact is, it was aimed against her in season one and there’s an odd tension between them where they’re competing and basically having a dick measuring contest. If they were a couple, I think they’d be the type to try to out-do each other in every gesture of affection.

🦕Yasammy (Yasmina/Sammy) - 8/10. I love them together! This is where Yaz’s loyalty actually was - even though Sammy didn’t deserve it in season one lol - but I love the development of their relationship. They are so sweet to each other - except that one time Yaz was mean - and I like how close they are to each other. Their moments are so cute and I can’t wait to see more of them together.

🦖Sammylynn (Sammy/Brooklynn) - 5/10. They could be cute together actually, if you could get past seasons one and three. Sammy becoming the only follower that Brooklynn cares about. The way their relationship is a push and pull of being with each other and against each other. They had some bonding moments and I think with more development, they could be good.
