Literally couldn't have put it better. Have had this idea for ages.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I kind of wish Brooklyn would wear her natural brown hair. It’s not just because I’m not a fan of her current short style; I feel like her natural hair would better reflect her true self.

So, we all know she’s no longer the Brooklyn with long pink hair, the social media star—that phase of her life has passed. She no longer feels connected to that persona, and I believe that’s why she changed her hairstyle.

Then, she had short pink-blue hair and became obsessed with Dark Jurassic, wanting to uncover the darker realities behind it all.

Now, as she faces the mission to expose the dinosaur smuggling ring, she has a blue buzzcut.

That’s why I believe her hair choices have always mirrored the different stages of her life.

And when everything comes to an end, with all she’s been through with the smuggling ring and her “death”, I feel like she will outgrow this stage of her life too.

Brooklyn has always been chasing something—first, it was pleasing her audience, then it was her obsession with Dark Jurassic, and finally, stopping the dino smugglers. She’s always been on the move, never taking a moment to just do nothing. The fact that she’s such a young adult with so much responsibility is impressive in itself.

This is one of the reasons why I believe her natural brown hair could symbolize Brooklyn embracing her true self, moving forward from those experiences, and just “being”.

Letting go of the dyed hair could symbolize shedding the weight of her past. Her brown hair might represent her stepping into her own identity, free from chasing the thrill of missions or whatever. (Knowing that she also lost an arm while going after it)

Personally, I’ve always felt that dyed hair can sometimes act as a mask, hiding who we really are. So maybe Brooklyn embracing her natural hair would be her way of letting go of the need to chase something.

(I would also love a dinostar scene of Darius seeing her with her natural hair for the first time and being mesmerized.)

It's no coincidence that he's been wearing her favorite color (his jacket)....

endless list of otps: Brooklynn and Darius from Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous / Chaos Theory

Look, I wanna find her too, protect her if we can, but if there's one thing I know about Brooklynn, it's that she has to do things her way. For better or for worse. Look, if we really wanna help, we can't make this all about what we think is best for her. That place... we're in her world now, and we need to follow her lead. She knows where to find us. She'll come when she's ready. She'll find us when she's ready... I need your help. Say no more.

Currently screaming over Darius x Brooklynn. The way she rushes in to hug them all. And the close-up shot of her and Darius. The "I know you, Super Star."

I've said it since season 1 of CC: these two are soulmates.

Just with Darius' asexual ass and Brooklynn's ADHD hyperfixations it's taken them way too long to realize but SOON.

SOON.

I feel it in my soul.

Bridget Jones is one of those time-and-place movies, like no not all of the humor stands up today, some of it was pretty mean even then. But it’s so charming and a genuinely good P&P adaptation AND a genuinely good romcom. Renee Zellweger is so likable and Colin Firth is at his Colin Firthiest, and I mean who doesn’t love the big final kiss in the gently falling snow while Van Morrison’s Someone Like You plays? C’mon.

thinking about how fortunate it is that candace fell in love with someone who understands the vulnerability of that situation... like. jeremy DOES recognize that candace is SUPER devoted to him. he knows she would do literally anything for him, he knows how much he has the capacity to persuade or hurt her, and he never once abuses that. he very much makes a point to make sure they're always on equal ground, despite her constantly putting him on a pedestal. it's not just about him liking her back (which he does), it's also him respecting her enough to make sure their relationship is balanced. and you see it level out over time!! by season 4, she's being sarcastic and snarky at him in my sweet ride, a tone she never would have DARED taking around him in season 1. and in for your ice only, when he figures out she's lying to try and impress him, they handle it by knowingly smiling at each other and dropping it immediately. god their relationship is so complex in its sweetness. they care about each other SO much.

Random linguistic worldbuilding: A language with six sets of pronouns, which are set by one's current state of existence. There's a separate pronoun for people who are alive, people who are dead, and potential future people who are yet to be born, and the ambiguous ones of "may or may not be alive or aleady dead", "may or may not have even been born yet", and the ultimate general/ambiguous all-covering one that covers all ambiguous states.

The culture has a specific defined term for that tragic span of time when a widow keeps accidentally referring to their spouse with living pronouns. New parents-to-be dropping the happy surprise news of a pregnancy by referring to their future child with the "is yet to be born" pronoun instead of a more ambiguous one and waiting for the "wait what did you just say?" reactions.

Someone jokingly referring to themselves with the dead person pronouns just to highlight how horrible their current hangover is. A notorious aspiring ladies' man who keeps trying to pursue women in their 20s despite of approaching middle age fails to notice the insult when someone asks him when he's planning to get married, and uses the pronoun that implies that his ideal future bride may not even be born yet.

A mother whose young adult child just moved away from home for the first time, who continues to dramatically refer to their child with "may or may not be already dead" until the aforementioned child replies to her on facebook like "ma stop telling people I'm dead" and having her respond with "well how could I possibly know that when you don't even write to us? >:,C"

More nuanced spoiler thoughts on Darius and Brooklynn:

As someone who was/is a major Dinostar shipper, I was obviously in shock after the show, especially after episode eight. However, I'm not sure I actually want them to get together romantically

Neither of them are in the best place for that type of relationship. Brooklynn clearly has a one-track mind and whether she's with Kenji or Darius isn't going to change that. She's so focused on whatever mission she's dealing with that she's willing to fake her own death. And Darius is only just getting over his grief, only just truly accepting she's 'dead'

When she comes back, and it's revealed that she's been alive this whole time, it isn't going to be pretty. There are going to be hurt feelings on all sides and I think it's best to explore that first. Brooklynn is going to be dealing with a lot of trauma, and her choosing to stay dead, whatever her reasoning, gave Darius (and the rest of the campers) a lot of trauma themselves. That can't just be brushed past. There need to be consequences.

So if Dinostar does happen it needs to be after a lot of talking and reconciliation.

But I love how they weren't afraid to make it messy and have these complicated feelings. I love how technically it's a love triangle but with none of the usual bs. I am happy that Brooklynn didn't feel the same. Based on what we know about her mental state at the time, that would have been way out of character. She's so far down the rabbit hole, that it's going to take a lot to snap her out of it, and get her to care about anything else.

Whether they make Dinostar platonic or romantic, I'm glad their dynamic and relationship are being focused on. I'm looking forward to season two and their messy messy messy reunion. I want them to fight and I want them to love each other at the end of it anyway.
