Ben’s new design is so funny, mainly because of all the jokes about his height.
But like have you seen his dog (ankylosaurus)? I would also be a big, beefy boy If I was taking care of a “dog” (and any of the other dinosaurs) for the past 6-7 years that ranged in weight of 4.8 to 8 metric tons.
(First time trying to draw Ben not great lol but I’ll get the hang of it)

Im actually losing my sanity ;D
Im trying to figure out what this all means, I don’t want to make this about Ben and Darius I DO again BUT….
Tumblr media
Ben and Darius aren’t in this photo obviously so that means they’re of being kidnapped or lost I mean it could also be something less dreadful but with their luck eeeeeeeeeehhhhh. So now im leaning to the conclusion WE GET ANOTHER BEN AND DARIUS SINGEL LIKE EPISODE! I kinda thought we wouldn’t get another one kinda like they spent so much time together in s3 and hardly in s4-5 like they had moments but not really. Kinda just forgot about that life changing experience…But that’s just my complaining opinion.
Are we all thinking the same thing!? Ben and Darius!? Kenji and Darius!? WHO they never specified!!!! And Idk if this really connects to this but I really hope they do have a secret handshake because that would add so much to their dynamic and I would cry and collapse on the floors like I am right now s2 pls come save me I’m dying inside-
ANYWAYS! I really want this to be true and I REALLY WANT a I love you, bud mention. That is all TY for sticking around if you did.

JWCC 5×9 || JWCT 1x9
Would it be outlandish for me to say that BOTH Darius' and Brooklynn's feelings are unrequited??
You see, in Camp Cretaceous 5x9 we've got Darius feeling like a terrible friend because of his plan to trap Kenji and his dad as well as his general guilt for not being a better leader. And this all leads to the whole "You're light burns bright... no amount of bad choices could change that... I'll follow you anywhere".
Its a good scene.
THEN we get to Chaos Theory and were back to Darius' troubled emotions- primarly guilt. This time its about Brooklynn's "death". Episode 9 comes along and we find out why he didn't show up for her that night, through his conversation with Kenji. And my brain was trying to tell me there was a connection to be made between these two episodes.
Because, there's something about Brooklynn needing Darius to follow her despite the bad choices she may make. Like, reciprocating the same type of support she's given.
AND then I think about how his presence in one instance saves her and his absence in another "dooms" her. How he probably thinks about this too and wonders why he was so hesitant to provide the same type of support/loyalty.
So... I've just been thinking about that.

brooooo the way some be/nji shippers completely disregarded the importance of darius's character in favor of pushing their own ship was actually so infuriating. maybe if they only did it with the monorail scene it wouldn't bother me so much since kenji was shaken up by ben's "death" but no they did it with EVERYTHING. "kenji spent every day and night dreaming about ben" this and "kenji would have dragged ben back to the boat if he tried staying behind on the island" that. yeah you mean like darius??? you mean like the literal main character of the show??? ERGH it'll never not drive me up the wall
i am SO GLAD other people have noticed this 😭 me and my bestie have been bothered about dinotwt’s behavior for YEARS.
personally it’s the monorail scene itself being turned into a ben/ji moment that bothers me most. because darius is the only one who tried to save ben from falling. DARIUS. darius is the one who couldn’t save him. DARIUS. but noooo they focused on how… *checks notes* kenji fell to his knees during a quick shot instead.
i’m not sure how the shippers are on this site because all my interaction with the jwcc fandom was solely on twt, but i find it Very interesting how important moments in darius and ben’s relationship are taken from them and pushed onto ben and kenji instead. darius unable to keep hold of ben? let’s make it about kenji instead. darius having nightmares about ben? no, obviously that was kenji having those! if they weren’t so obsessed with claiming benrius is problematic, they’d clearly be fans of the ship. that’s why they take all its material and give it to be/nji 💀 it also feels weird to me that they were so intent on demonizing a queer ship that involved a black boy, but maybe i’m just reaching there. i dunno
putting shipping aside, it is just downright antiblack to take pivotal moments of the black mc’s development and make them entirely about a nonblack character. why are you so allergic to letting the black character have focus? when black people already have such small amounts of decent representation in media, especially as main characters? it angers me so much.
tldr darius (and benrius) deserved better from the fandom (and the show, but that’s a convo for another time).

Honestly I think jwcc is gonna be roman empire forever, more specifically S4 and 5, because of how much the writers ruined all of their characters arcs and growths.
I think S1-3 were just perfect. Ok maybe they weren't actually perfect, but for they were setting out to do it was superb. The writers were establishing dynamics and relationships and conflicts, external and internal, so well. It's almost hard to believe that such a grounded brilliant story fell apart in the last two seasons. I generally cannot fathom how they were the same writers. For example, in S3 Ben and Darius have this long arc about forgiving each other and coming to understand each other after the monorail. It was beautiful and slow paced and just a great character study. So when the end of S3 happened, and Darius and Kenji were clearly fighting, I figured they would kinda do the same thing for them. Instead the two forgave each other in less then five minutes and then they just never speak on it again. I can't be only one that just finds that so odd?
Another thing I think really ruined the show was the forced romance between Brooklynn and Kenji. It was out of left field, it didn't make sense, and it completely undermined their characters. To me, the show always presented their bond as brother and sister, but honestly if the writers had done it better maybe (MAYBE) I could've gotten behind it. They just made it so hard to route for them. First of all because of the romance, the two of them weren't really allowed to interact with the others. Like yes they did, but not in meaningful ways like they had before. Also something that irks me to no end is them playing off Kenji so vigorously trying to save Brooklynn at the end of S3 only because he had a crush on her. That's such a misinterpretation of his character, because S3 Kenji would've acted like that if ANY of the crew were in that situation. They became the only family he ever had, and to say that all of that was just because of a crush? Oh don't get be started. Also it just made Brooklynn a shell of the character she once was. I was so upset in S5 when the only thing she got to do was mope about Kenji's betrayal. She deserved more development and screen time, and just everything really. Their romance did a huge disservice to them both.
Third point, I really hate how they played off everyone not having PTSD, especially Darius. I was very happy that Yaz had that arc in S5 and how they showed how it really got to her. But when the rest of the group said everyone was fine, especially Darius? The same Darius that felt endlessly burdened with leading? The same Darius that had nightmares about his father and Ben after he lost them? The same Darius that let everything get to him even when he knew it shouldn't? THE SAME CHARACTER THAT WAS ALONE ALL OF S4 AND THE WRITERS DID NOTHING WITH??? Ohhhh one day these writers will pay for the way they sidelined THEIR MAIN CHARACTER. Darius deserved that arc, and he deserved an arc that allowed him to step out of the leadership role. Like yes that was technically S4, but it was handled in such a bad way and it really didn't present any growth for him or the crew. Just a wasted opportunity.
I think at their core, the problems with S4 and S5 lie with the direction the writers wanted to take it. As soon as the group ended up at this highly technological island I knew it was over. Not to say advanced stuff is bad, the hybrids were always sick, and I even thought the mind controlling was a good moral dilemma, but everything else? It was so tiring and frustrating, like damn I don't care about the brads or this island, or these random ass characters you introduced. I think the writers just really lost sight of what made the show so great in the first place, the main characters. Yes the plot was amazing, but the brilliant cast of characters and their ever changing dynamics and lives was what really brought it home. When you erase all of the development you've been building up for three seasons in favor of a incredulously complicated and over done plot that side lined your main cast what can you expect? It seems voltron was in fact a harbinger for this show. One day dreamworks will learn how to not fall off mid show, but it appears that's not any time soon.

kentrosaurus for the ask thing!!
Kentrosaurus- Favorite plot point and why?
Tumblr media
Ooo okay this one was actually hard for me to decide, because there are many plot points in jwcc that I absolutely love, but I have to say one of my absolute favorite plot points was Kenji’s antagonist arc and just his overall relationship with his dad. I think the build up to him meeting his father again and ultimately betraying the camp fam in order to please him was done so well. We get little the hints throughout the series that Kenji and his father don’t have a great relationship and he feels like a disappointment to him, so much so that he’ll literally throw his friends under the bus just so that his dad could love him and it’s honestly heartbreaking. Not only that, but the way jwct continues this plot point is just amazing with Daniel ultimately dying to save Kenji and Kenji just having these incredibly conflicting emotions because on one hand he hates his dad for everything he put him through, but on the other he still feels like that kid that is begging for his father’s love which ultimately leads to him breaking down. They didn’t have a good relationship, but he can’t help, but love him.
