anyone else think Darius wasn’t giving the whole truth about what happened with him and Brooklynn? anyone else think they almost got together but called it off just in time for it to Not be a thing and promised it wouldn’t change anything between them, except it did?
I want a scene where the campers are running from something and one of them yells to get in the car, so they all pile in but Kenji’s in the driver seat, Darius in the passenger seat, and Ben’s squished in the middle between Yaz and Sammy.
Just the image of Big Ben smooshed and Yaz complaining that he “couldn’t have run for the front?”
(Yaz throws in a ‘Benjamin’ and Ben throws in a ‘Fadoula’ and Kenji yells at them to stop arguing as he’s trying to save their lives)
In the second half of season 2, when Ben reunites with Brooklynn, Kenji and Yaz, he greets them with that jungle boy personality he’s akin to now, but then he does it again, this time more to how he was last time he saw them before he fell off the monorail.
But with Darius, he doesn’t do that, he greets him much more softer than he did with the others. He tries to pull that hard exterior when he goes “Think nothing of it, kid. When you’ve seen what I’ve seen,” but he can’t keep it going for long and softens up again I’m gonna cry
I was board, so I made a next gen for the Nublar Six, based on my personal headcanons and ships so if you don't like Benrius and Kenlynn, then please don't come at me. This is all just in good fun.
Enjoy!
Emily Bowman (Benrius)
Emily was nine-years old when her parents were unfortunately killed in a freak dinosaur attack, leaving her orphaned. Darius and Ben responded to the call and took her into their care. She stayed with them for a little while whilst Social Services began sorting out her situation, wherein during that time, Emily gotten to get to know Darius and Ben and what they do; how they locate dinosaurs, care for them, and ship them off to private island habitats funded by Dr Mae Turner and Mantah Corp, now under Kenji’s full jurisdiction. She even began to conquer her fear after making friends with a Maiasaura she named Ursa.
She was eventually put into a foster home, but the conditions were poor, so she decided to run away and return to the Sanctuary, via stealing the mum’s credit card to book a plane ticket.
Darius and Ben were shocked to see Emily and horrified to hear about the living conditions. After sending her to bed, they had a long talk about how they had once talked about adopting and raising a family, agreeing they both adored Emily and didn’t want her to go. So they gave Emily the good news the next morning that they would adopt her into the family and she said yes.
Fun Fact: Ursa the Maiasaura is a direct nod to concept dinosaurs that would eventually become Bumpy, as Maiasaura was one of the many plausible candidates.
2. Julia and Xavier Kon (Kenlynn)
Despite their ups and downs, concerning Brooklynn’s line of work and Kenji's inheritance of Manta Corp, Brooklynn tries extra hard to live in the moment and not take her time with her family and friends for granted and Kenji works hard to ensure that the Kon family name is redeemed through his work. Regardless of their hardships, they work well together and support each other through their struggles.
Julia Kon is the more extraverted of the duo. She takes after her father, enjoys skating, archery and isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty, preferring physical activities to staying coped up indoors all day. Her brother Xavier is more closed off then his sister. Younger by two years, he prefers technology and hacking to climbing and being outdoors.
Despite their differences, two things they have in common is their love for their family and their association with dinosaurs. Namely the herd of Parasaurolophus living by their father’s climbing camp. Every month, Kenji would take the family camping at the cliffs and the kids would play with the baby Parasaurolophuses. One in particular took a real shine to the children; Brooklynn affectionately named her Nightlight, due to how Xavier would snuggle her tightly due to his fear of the dark when they went camping.
Fun Fact: Julia and Xavier are named after Brooklynn and Kenji's original concepts for Camp Cretaceous, Jules and Xi respectively. Also, Kenji and Ben used to have different roles, with Ben being the strong, athletic character while Kenji (at this point in time, Xi) was the shy, nerdy type. They since swapped roles, with Ben becoming the shy one and Xi taking the role of the rich kid and was renamed Kenji.
3. Katie Gutierrez-Fadoula (Yasammy)
When Sammy and Yaz got married and talked about starting a family, they realized there were some complications: Sammy's encounter with the Scorpios Rex damaged her reproductive organs and left her unable to carry a child to term, and Yaz was uncomfortable with the idea of ordering a doner. So in the end, they agreed to adopt.
Katie loves her moms and her life at the ranch. She enjoys spending time with Angel and Rebel, who they were able to rescue and keep on the ranch (best cattle dogs Sammy ever had), tending to the cows, chickens and the stray Pachycephalosaurus that had been hanging around the ranch lately, who she has named Bonehead. She came out to her mums as trans when she was 13 and they wholeheartedly support her through her transition.
Fun Fact: Katie is a sorta merge of Sammy and Yaz's concepts. Sammy was originally meant to be male and Yaz's name was originally Katie.
Anyway, those are my versions of the next generation of Camp Fam. I hope you like them and again, this is just all in good fun; I'm not trying to start any shipping wars.
There's no way I can give a score less than 10, right? They had a chemistry and a relationship since the first season. The way Sammy wanted to be friends with Yas even though she showed to be antisocial is incredible. I'll summarize everything, one day friends.
2. Brookenji
6. I confess that when the ship became canon, I wasn't very into it, you know? They didn't have that relationship that seemed to be lovable, and after the last season and the new series, I could confirm to myself that this ship is bad, just my opinion. But I find them cute, maybe they'll come back in the second season of Chaos Theory? Well, I hope not haha
3. Benrius
8. What to say? This ship is quite unjustly treated, I think the two would have a great relationship as a couple (even knowing that Ben is dating, which I think is a lie 🧐).
4. Darlynn
10. I honestly don't know why they haven't gotten together, they have shown affection for each other for a long time. Their partnership, the way they are, everything makes them good for each other.
5. Yasji
Zero. This ship never had chemistry! The only time they were really together as friends was when Yasmina hurt her leg, and Kenji stayed to help. Other than that, the two have nothing in common! (Not to mention that most of the people who support this ship are hetero-homophobic, who fire at hetero-homophobic 🤌)
Yasammy is gonna be there anyway dw and I'm not writing kenlynn sorry I care too much about my health. I might not even follow the results this is just to see which one is more popular
GUYS! Just had a thought, I was just reading @crocs-simp fanfic of “When you call the last light down” (SO GOOD BTW!) and this idea kinda popped in my mine when I read the end of ch3 (!small Spoilers to the Fic!)
“…, we’re all here for you, just one phone call away. Promise” And I was like, man do I see the irony kinda in that. When Darius was going through it he didn’t call anyone. Soooooo I was going to make a small comic or drawing of Ben kinda reaching out to Darius, but Darius just keeps pushing him away and kinda ghosting him.
One scenario I have in my head is at Brooklynns funeral. The camp fams kinda comforting each other, even though Kenji isn’t really comforting anyone he’s still accepting hugs and giving them back. Meanwhile Darius is in the corner sobbing alone (whomp whomp) Ben tries to reach out and say something but Darius just pulls back, leavening as soon as he can. Then the whole not keeping in Touch thing to, I don’t have the biggest idea on that yet.
A Benrius angst if u please. Sadly I probably won’t be drawing this as soon as I want to possibly not at all if I don’t get a break from life :/ But I’ll try my hardest to get around to it.
AND I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A FIC ON THIS (just saying) I would write one but I’m ass at writing
ohh boy. okay so i see a lot of people compare darius to miles so i wanted to give darius his own spider-suit :3
i wanted to base it off of some sort of dino so i went with the gallimimus ofc!! but idk. its not coming out how i want it. maybe if i went with a diff color palette??
if anyone else wants to try smth similar id love to see ur interpretation!! of darius or any other camper as a spider-person yk :3
You’re telling me, Mr. “Conspiracy theorist, trust no one, lives in his van, eats out of a boot, no technology” Ben has an online girlfriend? The Ben who pees in a jar so he doesn’t have to stop and talk to people he doesn’t know incase they’re evil?
The same Ben who had Sammy on his suspect list cause she spied for Mantah Corp when she was 14, to save her family’s heritage?
Mr. Paranoia ?!
That Ben? Like, not even the fact that he’s clearly 💅🏻✨ but that he is just dating someone just like that? Doubt.
