All Stars rewrite ideas based on what I thought was going to happen when there was only 3 episodes out at the time (sorry for making this so long)

The biggest issue with Tom ghosting Jake and Miriam was going to be that when Miriam had to be taken to the hospital (whatever happened during their vacation together was going to be more serious than they let on), Jake had texted/called Tom about it only to be met with silence (hence why Miriam said to Tom that she thought he would call in episode 3). It would have been interesting if Jake and Miriam talked after this challenge and Jake agreeing with Miriam that if Tom can't even explain himself for not picking up or responding back after her medical scare then it's about time Jake stop having hopes that Tom will ever talk to them at all. Jake would feel some annoyance with Aiden and Tom quickly becoming friends but Jake's beef would solely be on Tom not Aiden. Jake will occasionally look/glare in Tom's direction but restrains himself from talking to him. Would have loved to see Jake blow up at Tom later that the reason why he kept reaching out was not just because of his lingering feelings but because of what happened to Miriam (tying back to how Jake lost both his grandparents and those fears resurfacing because of Miriam's recent medical scare). Jake could have felt hurt by Tom's silence as him not caring about Miriam despite being close during their season.

Grett and Yul were actually going to be a genuine couple. With the look that Yul gave to Grett when she hugged him in episode 2, I was convinced. I thought Yul's storyline would be that although he's still shitty, he is trying to be better not just for his reputation but also for Grett (the cliché that love makes you change) . Also we would have got to learn about Yul's time in the industry and possibly more info about him and his family being north korean defectors (since it was only mentioned once in season 2). For Grett, I thought her storyline would have been about after being on season 1, she faced a lot of negativity and lost weight because of it since Emily did mention that she was getting a lot of negative comments that targeted her appearance. Hell, I saw the potential of them of being one of the best couples we could have had in All Stars (the others being James and Aiden, and Ellie and Gabby). I also could have seen Yul helping Grett overcome the hate she gets by giving her tips on developing thicker skin since he's had more experience, while Grett would push Yul into being a better person and he listens because Yul cares about how Grett sees him.

A possible Jake and Fiore team up after James' elimination since she voted James as well while Hunter and Ally voted for her. I honestly think that it would have been an interesting team up. The two could have opened up to each other about their not so good relationships with their parents. Also with the two being a team, Fiore could have kept Jake focused on the game by easily pointing out any mind games that Alec or Ellie are trying to pull on him while Jake could help Fiore during the physical challenges and stand up for her from the rest of their team so Fiore can be listened to since she's the smartest person on their team and Fiore could come up with ways on how they could win (Fiore knew how to play the game in her season). The two could've had a naive older brother/genius little sister dynamic.

With Aiden and Riya, I had expected much more interaction. With what happened in season 2 it was obvious that Aiden and Riya were going to have tension between them and because of this Aiden would have a rivalry with Riya instead of being pitted against Jake.

Lake being a lesbian would have some focus since she's now free from her arranged marriage and her parents.

Possible breakup between Hunter and Ally. Or having Huntessally finally being canon.

-⚡

we all thought the season would pan out so differently i’m so sick of these people 😭 your ideas with jake and his dynamic with others are great, i wanted him to be mad at tom rather than others so badly, and him and fiore bonding? sign me up!!!

yul and grett being genuine YES!!! i was actually hopeful for their dynamic believe it or not, i thought yul would be redeemed and although the “love changes people” trope is so overdone, it would have suited him. but yul stays yul <//3

also huntessally canon is not a want but a need.

HI!! Big fan of your art here, could you draw some disventure camp characters behind their nationality flags? (Polish Gabby/German Lake?) IF YOU WOULD THAT WOULD BE AMAZING THANK YOU FOR READING

- 🌞

I read that wrong and thought u said the FLAG behind the characters but YES this was very fun!! I will probably do the rest of the non Canadian/American characters (there are too many)

Ellie Disventure Camp also needs a time out 😶

Ellie fans, I’m sorry, no I’m not, but I’m coming for your girl. But let me start by saying, I LOVE a villain. Especially a bad ass female villain. That’s why I like Fiore and Riya. But Ellie… is not bad ass. She’s just plain petty 😶 and, listen, petty villains have their place in my heart too. But Ellie is not just petty but also spiteful. For no reason .-. And yeah, yeah, I know she needs money, she’s relatable, you would do the same for a million dollars, blah blah shut it >_> Now, let’s begin with Jake ☺️

Now, imma just say, I love Jake, I’ve been team Jake since season 1, but I’m not gonna deny that Jake is annoying. He is sometimes 🤷🏻‍♂️ but he does not deserve the fuckin… psychological torture by Ellie ._. Y’all love to say JAKE is petty and obsessive but ELLIE is the one who’s pissy at Jake for being, RIGHTFULLY, upset for ruining his relationship 😶 and it looks to me like she’s been like that… the whole time? .-. Last episode, episode 6, She made Tom and Aiden kiss for NO reason other than to fuck with Jake ._. Like, she says that verbatim 😶 Her exact words are “I suggested the idea of the kiss, but the reasoning we just made up. This might be evil, but I can’t pass up the opportunity to see Jake lose his mind again. Hey, with no tv out here, it’s the next best thing.” Like, girl! This is… just ridiculous ._. What did Jake do to you? Rightfully get angry at you for betraying his trust and completely ruining his relationship? Not even Season One Grett would stoop this low 😶

And THEN, in episode 7, the latest episode so spoilers sorry, she again uses Tom and Aiden just to fuck with Jake .-. Granted, this one gets half of a pass because it WAS an actual game move and it worked out 🤷🏻‍♂️ But was it necessary? Mm. Debatable. Speaking of unnecessary. Let’s talk Tom 😊

Ellie dislikes Tom. For what reason? I couldn’t tell ya 😶 SHE fucked HIM over, SHE trash talked HIM on national TV. Not the other way around .-. Why is SHE mad at HIM ._. And why is she surprised that Tom is generous? He was a great guy, all things considered, in season 1 .-. Know what it smells like to me? ✨Projection✨. SHE’S gonna use the money for self fulfilling reasons, so of course everyone else is too 🤷🏻‍♀️ I think Ellie can dish it but she can’t take it, know what I mean? She can trash talk Jake, Tom, Miriam, AND Alec and that’s fine, she needed the money 🤷🏻‍♀️, but if any of those people are angry at her for the things she said? All hell breaks loose 😶 You can dislike Riya, but at least she owns her mess 😊 She knows she’s a villain and she owns it. She doesn’t do Villain Things, then try to revert back to her early season 2 self, no, Riya owns her shit.

Now, let’s talk about Gabellie. They’re very cute :3 I like them together, they’re sweet. However… Ellie, Gabby is your ONLY friend and only true ally. She HAS Tess… but like she also doesn’t, Tess could be swayed by Aiden, I feel, and especially could be swayed by Ally if they both make the merge. Ellie’s only guaranteed number is Gabby right now. So, what does Ellie do for her only ally, and, y’know, her girlfriend? Lie to her 😶 Now, listen, I understand lying to Tess, Aiden, and Tom about the villain alliance. That’s just smart gameplay 🤷🏻‍♂️ But lying to Gabby? No .-. Pull her to the side and tell her the truth 😶 Show that you trust her >_> because it’s very clear that Gabby adores Ellie with all of her heart, she wouldn’t have said a word 😊 but no 😶 Ellie lied to her. And now Gabby knows Ellie lied to her. And now Gabby could very well turn on Ellie because if she lied about the villain alliance, what else could she lie to her about ya know?

In conclusion: Ellie is a try hard villain 😶 She wants to be Fiore, Season 1 Grett, and Riya so bad and it’s embarrassing 😊

The narrative purpose of a comeback: Finishing a character arc

So, after the release of the eleventh episode of All Stars I've seen a lot of people complaining about Connor coming back but he was easily one of the most sensible choices narratively speaking and I wanna discuss why and how he is one of the most sensible options to have been brought back to furthering the narrative of the characters in the show.

First of, I wanna say that I knew my season two favorites were not coming back. I knew James, Lake or Tess were not coming back as they had zero to none personal growth left for them. Disventure Camp is a show heavily focused on character arcs and those three characters had already finished their character arcs in their season. There was no need for them to come back.

On the other hand my two season one favorites, Ellie and Fiore, did have some chances but those chances were squashed on the episode. Why? Because they served their narrative purpose as characters. Fiore's unfulfillment was with Alec and the eleventh episode dedicated a lot of time to them bonding and mending their relationship showcasing an evolution for both characters. Ellie is on a weird spot since not only I wished she had more time with Gabby but also some more dialogue of how she is outside of the show but then I am not angry since this isn't about her, Ellie has been relegated second for Gabby's arc and so Gabby being alone is a requirement therefore Ellie can't be there.

Now Connor? That's a character that had stuff to do yet. I was a little bit foolish about Riya's character arc on a previous post but upon retrospectively I've realized that it would be quite a sour end to leave Riya as a one note villain just for a persona that gives her fame on a show with multiple characters showcasing how you need to deny online and public personas for your betterment (James, Ally and Grett) so Riya keeping in that area would not be proper.

Not only Riya but also Alec. If Jake is the character we focus the most on a personal narrative then Alec is the character we focus the most for an argumental narrative, most of the happenings in the show are a product or consequence of something related to Alec directly or indirectly almost all of the narrative is tied to Alec in some shape of form, even the Jake and Tom plus Aiden mess since he was the one that blew on the spark of Jake's insecurities... and what character would serve for Alec's narrative? Besides Fiore? Only Connor fits the bill since Connor and Alec relate to each other and formed a bond.

Besides, Connor also has a little bit of weight in another narrative... Trevor's. Now that Emily is gone Trevor would probably need a character to bounce off if his narrative with Derek is gonna be stretched out through the rest of the episodes and since him and Connor already bonded in a precious episode it would make the most sense for him to be the character to replace Emily as Trevor's support.

Connor will also serve other narrative purposes of course, especially with the Hero's Alliance since he will obviously join that side so maybe we'll see him bond over with Jake, Ally, Tom and Aiden or we might even see him bond with some villains like Gabby and Grett... that or it'll be straightforward and he'll just serve his narrative purpose for Alec, Riya and Trevor.

This is me not saying that the writing of Disventure Camp is perfect cuz it truly isn't and it showed a lot of its flaws during this episode and besides other issues that truly aren't my place to speak but I do wanna take Disventure Camp as a quick and easy jump point from talking about how we, as spectators, need to think of what creators are doing for the narrative and not think of what we would like the narrative do be or at least not until the story is finished. We need to think more pragmatic when it comes to analyzing stories, we can't just think of what we like or dislike since like or dislike are not only subjective to people but also they are reactions that the creator might want you to have.

Like, and this is very direct, why would you want your favorite character to come back for? What would Hunter be back for? What was left for James to do in his story? What would it add for Lake's character to come back? What did Fiore need for her character that wasn't given in this episode? What narrative would benefit from your favorite character coming back to the show?
