i think dinostar is such an interesting ship right now even if i've kind of turned away from it after this season. the problem is that it's complicated, and fandoms historically don't like nuanced situations or takes. i don't think it's fair to say darius is putting brooklynn on a pedestal, since from his perspective, she hasn't done anything wrong, and kenji has been framed as this unfair partner to her. it does feel like his feelings are very immature and more of an infatuation right now ("if he loved you half as much.."/"unless?"), especially when you compare them to kenji's own feelings for brooklynn - his girlfriend who he's loved for 6 years - but that isn't a horrible thing, it's just different. i do completely understand if people dislike the ship right now, and even criticize darius' way of handling the accidental confession, but i just think people have been way too harsh on all three of them without being willing to see that all of their perspectives are different

#like darius' whole thing this season was his tendency to say or do the wrong thing and make things awkward by complete accident #he's a very awkward person as it is and considering he's also never dealt with romantic feelings before and he didn't even mean to tell her #about them it makes sense that he once again said and did the wrong things while trying to fix it #i'm not going to judge his characterization just yet until we see how he handles his own feelings vs kenji's next season after finding out #she's alive #he was still respectful of her and i doubt after learning more of kenji's side and realizing this man genuinely does still love and miss he #that he would prioritize pursuing her romantically(especially since she already yk.. rejected him and also literally just left them all)#if anything i think the finale putting his feelings about her survival to the side and focusing on how it hurt kenji to see her alive and #leave him kind of indicates that brooklynn's not really going to be much of a love interest for darius after this #which imo as a dinostar enjoyer and professional darius lover i'm actually okay with #slightly off topic but season 2 has made me really appreciate kenlynn on its own because of how tragic and nuanced it is #so i think focusing on them instead is not only a better decision in terms of consistency and storytelling but it's just the more realistic #and satisfying choice right now #and that's not to say i think they'll be perfectly fine or even together again once they're reunited properly #in fact i very much hope she ends up alone and they all get closure from this #and there's always the possibility that later on the show might actually revisit dinostar again #which would be better than them trying to do so now in my opinion #idk this is probably a mess but i've been trying to think about how i felt about this love triangle for awhile and since s2 handled it #completely differently than i thought they would. i feel like it's not going to be that simple #and i just wish fans of all sides would kind of chill out on the characters lmao #jwct #chaos theory #jwct s2 spoilers #brooklynn jwct #jwct season 2 spoilers #dinostar #kenlynn #kenji kon #darius bowman #jurassic world
