So the others were calling Ben Benjamin a bunch in Chaos Theory and I just have to point out that in season two when he has his screaming in the rain moment he says BEN Fitzgerald Pincus so either he forgot that his full name is Benjamin in the excitement of it all or the others are calling him a full name that does not apply to him and he just doesn’t know how to tell them 😭

#the actual explanation is of course that the writers did an oopsie #but this is a funnier way to think about it #camp cretaceous #chaos theory #mine #ben pincus

Ive said this before but swear the biggest skill to learn as an adult is how to resist high-pressure sales tactics. You do NOT have to answer questions with anything other than "Sorry I'm not interested." No matter how nice they are or no matter how many follow up questions they ask or even how agitated they get when you stand your ground. Just keep saying I'm not interested. Don't answer their questions. Don't give them an opening to try to push back on your reasons. Be a fucking brick wall of I'm not interested.

Yknow what I think Netflix and Dreamworks should up the rating on Camp Cretaceous Chaos Theory because I know DAMN WELL these traumatized characters need to curse-

Let them curse they are adults now LET THEM CURSE-

LET THE CAMP FAM SAY ‘FUCK YOU’ AND AND ‘WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU’ TO ADULTIER ADULTS

Also they deserve to say ‘what the hell’ every once in a while it was so awkward to hear them say ‘what the heck’ when I was full on expecting a curse word or two-

wow players having to stand in lines for a quest because a relevant npc can only talk to one player at a time. is the funniest image on the planet

Screw whatever Owen Grady had going on.

I WANT WHAT SHE WAS SERVING!!!!

Lunch break doodle I'll finish at home. Hopefully I can do her justice with some dramatic lighting lol

Darius channeling his inner Claire Dearing to draw the allosaurus over towards the massive battle going on is fantastic. Darius channeling his inner Claire Dearing to draw the allosaurus that he thinks killed his best friend, who he was in love with, towards the massive battle going on and essentially letting it free is insane. That entire sequence is so beautiful and I'm obsessed with it.

I am in shock that Chaos Theory is TV-Y7. This show 100% feels like it should be TV-14. Like seriously, all they needed to do to make it TV-14 was add in some swear words. It would fit perfectly into that rating. It’s just…so mature for a kids show.

I've been a junior counselor at a camp for 2 years and seeing the behind the scenes and what it's like for the counselors

It is hard enough to corral kids and keep them safe as a camp counselor

LET ALONE ADDING FUCKING DINOSAURS TO THE MIX

It's practically ASKING for someone to get killed

This is my favourite interview strategy

[awsydawnarts]

It's gonna be so messy when the others find out Brooklynn is alive.

Like, it's the second time someone in the group is believed dead but then turns out to be alive, yeah, but the situations are completely different. Ben was quite literally snatched away —in front of their very eyes— by a Pteranodon and separated from them. They thought he was dead, and he thought he was alone at the island and stuck on one side of the jungle at first if I recall, so not like he had a choice at first when it came to tell them; he didn't know they were still in the island too until he overheard Mitch and Tiff, I believe. And the others were obviously shocked to see he was alive, but were super happy rather quickly.

Now, Brooklynn? Yeah, they will definitely be shocked at the fact that she's alive. And happy, too, I guess. But they're also gonna be angry, and with reason. Because Brooklynn wasn't snatched away and all. It's not a "oh, we thought we watched you die but you were just separated from us and you're alive" situation like Ben's. Brooklynn literally faked her death. And how long has it been? Months? Nearly a year? She never contacted any of them to tell them the truth in all that time, she let them believe that she was dead. Like, okay, we know there's a good reason why she did that, and I'm sure she'll explain everything and they'll end up understanding. But that obviously won't take away the trauma, and the pain the rest of the group felt while they were grieving her, not at all.

So, yeah, while there might be one or two members of the Camp Fam that might understand and forgive easily, I'm pretty sure that the others —most of all Kenji and Darius— are gonna be pissed at first, most of all considering that Kenji for example was already questioning how many things she had been hiding from them, and now it turns out that she hides that she's alive too. And Darius' deal-- man, I'm sure they're probably going to show flashbacks or at least elaborate on the whole living together thing, and that he fell for her and somehow she found out and how Darius thought it was unrequited and that's why apparently didn't show up that night-- yeah, Darius' reaction and the whole dynamic between those two when she returns is gonna be pretty interesting.

Anyway, the whole deal is gonna be a mess and I'll be delighted to watch lmao.

I saw a clip from Chaos Theory earlier, that preview clip they play on Netflix when hovering over the show, and I find it incredible how, instead of ANY shots with a dinosaur, they chose the FAR more realistically terrifying scenario of Ben and Darius being followed by a strange car down the road.

As terrifying as the dinosaurs can be, I honestly think the human villains are far more terrifying.

You will NEVER be chased by a T-Rex.

You MIGHT get run off the road by a total stranger for reasons you'll never understand.

Yeah.

#YES thank you for putting it into words #you will never be chased by a trex #you MIGHT be at a gas station when a fire starts #you MIGHT have someone track your phone #i think that’s one of the things that made the show feel so intense for me

For everyone who's been puzzled/annoyed/disliked Tsiskaridze's 7th grade ladies class at Vaganova, here's a place to commiserate:

I so appreciate Isabella's critiquing of this class and alarm raising. She's being quite polite, but she's not pleased and you can tell. Watch this and then watch a graduation exam circa 2000. WORLDS APART in terms of classicism, style, and purity. I'm alarmed. I'd love to see NT get "promoted" out of this job and handed a new role in the Bolshoi. If this is the direction of Vaganova, I'd track the corollary. How many Vaganova grads get a Mariinsky contract? Or does the theatre hiring more from BBA, Perm, Eifman, etc.

#watch later

headcanon: "i have decided that this is true about the character, and it doesn't matter to me if the canon text supports my idea or not."

interpretation: "after considering elements present in the canon text, I have decided that this might be true about the character and here's why."

subtext: "I can show you strong evidence in the text and context of the work that this interpretation could be the actual authorial intent."

[awsydawnarts]

it's actually crazy how deep they were able to delve into the trauma and grief that all these (former) kids have gone through. I loved that these characters were able to yell and fight with each other because that's so very human; you blame yourself and you blame others and a lot of the time those emotions are stemming from grief and trauma. everyone was working through something and it was all portrayed so realistically. phenomenal.
