[m4haraj]

Ooops I dropped this

[m4haraj]

Ah, last day EEEEEEP. Hope this season slays like no other.

[m4haraj]

WOOOO here with the messy doobles, cant believe jwct s3 is right around the corner! And no way to be hyped about it than drawing one of your fav ships. The more I draw them the more I love them.

[m4haraj]

in my own mind, this is absolutely their dynamic. it is true in my heart of hearts

[m4haraj]

We yuried out but at what cost…

[m4haraj]

Soyona was actually down so incredibly bad for Brooklynn. “I had you a prosthetic made while we were away” when? Brooklynn has been 100% on your team for what, a day? How much did you pay for it? “Oh this guy looked like he was following you so I’m gonna have him killed” sure that’s a normal thing to do for someone you feel normal about. Girl never even considered for one second that Brooklyn could not be on her side, she trusted her completely, she was absolutely obsessed with her

Reflecting on Sammy...

She sent care packages to everyone before and after Brooklynn's death.

Lived alone--like, ALONE alone--for over a year after that death. She visited Darius's place for the funeral, and after that...alone.

She kept sending care packages, but Darius didn't call anyone. Yaz barely called her. And she clearly didn't call Yaz (REACH OUT, WOMAN!). Ben might have called, but he was investigating. Kenji might have checked in, too...but probably not.

Again: ALONE alone.

She's got cows and chickens. She's made herself an impromptu caretaker. She's got a nasty neighbor.

And then...she adds on a dinosaur.

A DINOSAUR. Six thousand pounds of animal. She has to feed her, wash her, shovel her feces, and still take care of Bessie and her calf and the rest. Probably has to file permits. Said dinosaur also keeps escaping.

Then her friends FINALLY show up, and within minutes she's forced to negotiate peace with her neighbor and sacrifice her hard work--again--to appease him.

Then they're attacked. She comes within seconds of dying several times. Childhood trauma is back in full force.

Then, she's running. Hoping that she can get to the others in time. Hoping maybe her neighbor will feed the cows--oh? He's dead? Well, maybe his relatives will check in on him and notice that no one's running the farm, they can contact HER family, and her family can take care of the place. Do something for her.

Then, her girlfriend wants to hide on an island.

Then, Darius wants them to go across the ocean.

Then, she's stuck in a container for two weeks and can barely cuddle with her girlfriend, let alone have Proper Bonding Time. All in the same clothes, mind you. Eating whatever food they can scavenge (mostly lettuce).

Then, FINALLY, Aminata Mballo (GOD BLESS HER) shows Sammy some concern and hospitality.

But wait!

There's Zayna!

Now Sammy's looking out for someone else! Fortunately, that's easy OHGODADEADBODY. So she shields Zayna. Then she is so busy protecting Zayna that she has to leave Yaz in Darius and Kenji's hands, and BOY, are their hands slippery!

So now she's in a boat in a country she doesn't know with a farm she abandoned and a family who abandoned her and a girlfriend her friends abandoned with a girl she can't abandoned and Yaz isn't here to comfort her or talk her through it.

Worst night of her life.

Then they're reunited, but then, THAT DAY, she finds out Brooklynn is alive...and she doesn't even TALK to her. She's working with the woman in charge of this operation.

Oh, and before she finds out about that, she gets to be hunted by dinosaurs and watch Darius fall like Ben did--oh, right! Also, did I mention Ben SUSPECTED HER of killing Brooklynn? How fun!

But speaking of Brooklynn, she's missing a hand and Sammy can't help her, but she seems to have someone helping her, anyway! Then, she's almost eaten again (several times), and escapes to see Ben and Kenji maybe blow up...but they didn't! Everyone is alive!

But Brooklynn still leaves.

She gets on a plane and leaves.

How routine is this? Was Brooklynn calling all the shots? She didn't even say a word when she turned and handed the egg over. Did she look Sammy in the eye? Smile at her? No. Every hallucination Sammy had of Brooklynn saying "Hey, girl" was suddenly met with a cold reality of indifference.

Fortunately, she gets to have a break--except, no, now it's a spy coming in on an airplane to say that the government knows Brooklynn's alive and working with Soyona and just isn't doing anything. Maybe they suspect Sammy, too. Who knows?

We don't, because the Kentrosaurus is dying! Who's gonna save it? That's right! Sammy!

Oh, by the way, she shoved her hand up a dinosaur's cloaca twenty days ago to pull out an egg. Did anyone say "Thank you, Sammy"? No? Cool.

Anyway, this time she's worrying about the OTHER END, burying her face in the dinosaur's mouth to try clearing the airway. Then she has to inject it. Then, she has to sedate it. That's all her.

Then, it's off to the snow. Time to go meet Ben's girlfriend and stress about whether this egg is going to hatch, or if Brooklynn and her new friend killed it. Oh, hey, look who's taking her in! It's another family!

HOW NICE.

And now, everyone wants to go off and find Brooklynn, force her back, even though she's walked out on them.

Of course she snapped.

[m4haraj]

Okay but what's the vibe between Brooklyn and Santos? Like girl said if you ever touch her again I'll kill you point blank we gonna talk about that?

[m4haraj]

Ya know, I'm still surprised they used the "Yaz hears but doesn't Listen" Thing as fodder for the breakup

Because like... We had this arc with her character in Camp Cretaceous where Sammy and Brooklynn dig in on her for not listening to them, and even in that episode, I felt it weird because it's not a... CONSISTANT... trait. I've said previously that this trait felt like it appeared in Season 4 of CC, and it felt ODD. Yaz has listened and helped Darius and Kenji and other times without not listening to them. So this trait in itself feels misplaced.

It feels like Yaz doesn't keep her character development sometimes and I think here, they didn't need to use that trait. I think it would have been more effective for us to see Sammy push Yaz out in kind of like a warped perception of her standing up for herself which we've only seen a little of and I think it would have been good for Sammy's character to build up the arc of her learning how to create healthy boundaries while seeing how bad her mental state had become with everyone leaving.

But also, based on their argument, it feels like she doesn't always tell Yaz upfront what's going on and gets mad that Yaz can't figure it out. I think it would have also been more on-brand for Yaz's character since it's pretty consistent that she can't read people and is very hard-headed and needs to be told things upfront. But Sammy is her partner, and Yaz should be better at realizing that something is bothering her and be more in tune to her partner.

Like wouldn't it have been much more effective to have Sammy tell Yaz that if she's so gun-ho on saving Brooklynn, they're done? Or if Yaz didn't come back with her, then clearly, Sammy wasn't a priority, and they were through.

Because I THINK this season is supposed to hint that Brooklynn and Yaz have a similar relationship to Darius and Kenji where it's very sibling coded, but like It also felt like Sammy was reacting as if Brooklynn was "The other women" in their relationship.

AND They could have tied that to Yaz leaving before was because BROOKLYNN found the dinosaur therapy place, BOOKLYNN is basically the reason Yaz left to begin with, even though we know from Yaz's perspective she wanted to overcome her PTSD because she thought it would be good for her and SAMMY's relationship.
