Character explorations of the N6 that I drew when we were working on S3. The idea was "how would everyone be drinking coffee, how do they like it, & with whom would they be enjoying it with? "
Sammy: Medium Roast w/ a splash of Whole Milk, Sugar, & a Pastry
Yaz: Lavender Latte w/ Whole Milk. She'll sketch while enjoying the latte
Darius: Caramel Frapp w/ Whip (Kenji introduced him to it)
Kenji: Caramel Frapp w/ Whip as well but Large size. Extra caramel drizzle
Ben & Gia: Folgers out of a Boot
Brooklynn: Dark Roast from wherever cafe she could find. Just Black - no cream or sugar. Santos asks a lot from her, so she needs the caffeine.
hiii i havent posted art in a while so sorry about that,, i’ll try to be more active (i say for the tenth time as my uni assignments sit collecting dust and calling my name)
anyway here’s the tweet that inspired this little doodle ^^ my personal hc is that while they lived together they’d go on walks and sometimes brook would forget to bring her jacket so darius being the gentleman that he is would obviously give her his <3
I think Kenlynn will become Yasammy's cautionary tale. Specifically, Brooklynn will be Yaz's cautionary tale.
Both are relationships that suffered from a lack of one partner being present. Brooklynn wasn't around much and barely engaged with Kenji even when they were together. Yaz put significant physical distance between her and Sammy and then neglected to stay in frequent contact, and now she's put this emotional distance between them by neglecting Sammy's feelings in a high-stress situation where her support was needed. Physically and emotionally, Brooklynn and Yaz weren't there for their partners. There was no lack of love, but they allowed other things to get in the way and made their relationships a lower priority.
But here's where I think they'll differ. Kenji seems to be more or less over Brooklynn romantically. Not over what she did, but he seemingly has no intentions of getting back together with her even if she returns to the group. And this is largely because when he called her out for not being there, said he couldn't be with her if she wasn't going to be with him, she left and she stayed away. Maybe it would have been too little too late, but maybe if she'd decided to put Kenji first at that point and try to make things right, it could've gotten better between them.
With Yasammy, the situation is fresh and still developing. It's just impossible for either of them to be over each other so quickly. There is a window of opportunity for things to be made right with enough effort. Yaz is in a group with Brooklynn right now, and I think that's part of the key to her realizing what she needs to do to make things right with Sammy. She needs to look at the mistakes Brooklynn made, compare them with her own mistakes, and not continue down the same path, because they know where that ends. If she wants Sammy back, she can't do what Brooklynn did. She can't stay away and prove that she will never prioritize the person she loves over whatever else is going on. She needs to show up. Be there. Come to her with an apology and the support Sammy has needed all this time. Show Sammy that she can listen, that things can get better between them, and they can work again.
Unfortunately, it may be too late for Kenji and Brooklynn. Not my favorite thing ever because I do actually really like them, but that's how it looks to me.
But it's not too late for Yaz and Sammy. They can learn from their mistakes and the mistakes of others, and they can come back from this with fresh perspectives and better equipped to make sure their relationship stays functional.
For those of you who've finished Jurassic World Chaos Theory Season 3 already... not posting boards or memes with spoilers yet, but here's my season 3 playlist:
Again, this is a selection of songs I either listened to while boarding or thinking about the show. Full song list organized by episode and some commentary under the cut (contains out of context light spoilers):
Excess Baggage:
I wanted to start the playlist off with something a little more lighthearted and silly. On a surface level, the song 'If You Wanna Go' always makes me think of Brooklynn leaving everyone on the tarmac and everyone kind of having to pick themselves up again after the shock.
But there's also a line that always makes me laugh ('You and Jeffrey can start a new') because one of our storyboard artists name's is Jeffrey, and he once made up this INSANE AU pitch for the tarmac scene where Brooklynn shoots Ben with a gun to prove her loyalty to Santos (it would have been planned by her and Ben and he would have been fine but still LOL)
Gone, Gone, Gone - 'Your morals ebb, your morals flow... The normal rules do not apply'
Villa Paradiso:
I read somewhere that there was a meta behind the original Italian version of the song 'Gloria' that the singer was singing about a woman he was in love with that wasn't real, so... (for the life of me I can't find the article again and I'm not sure if that is actually true. The Italian lyrics are definitely about a man obsessed with and missing 'Gloria' though haha).
This Must Be the Place - cozy song for the momentarily cozy setting. Also you know who born. Also 'the less we say about it the better... It's okay, I know nothing's wrong'
The Queen's Court:
I included several tracks from Luca that always put me in the 'little dinosaur in big Italy' headspace.
Are You Satisfied - Brooklynn of course. 'Once you cross the line, will you be satisfied?'
Fire in the Piazza:
More Luca, but also some Italian Giallo horror tracks for the pyroraptor and the handler
Boiling Over:
I've Been Losing You and Mismo Amor are... self explanatory
Undercover:
There's something really bittersweet about this Luca track that makes me think of the N5 parting ways on their separate missions.
Across That Fine Line - finally seeing Brooklynn again
Decisions, Decisions…:
Medusa could actually go in a couple different places this season, but I think this was also on @tio-trile's Brooklynn playlist since season 1
No Escape:
Phenomena (Video Version) - more Itialian Giallo horror that cooks for the pyroraptor and the handler.
Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land has always made me think about dinosaurs being brought back and let loose in general, especially when things start coming to a head in the season 3 finale
Active Pursuit:
Under the Wheels - everything REALLY coming to a head
Morituri Te Salutant:
The World is Not Enough - Santos to Brooklynn in the finale
Bonus:
What Are the Chances? always felt like a song that would play over the end credits of Chaos Theory Season 3 if it was a movie. The characters have come so far since Camp Cretaceous- it was chance that originally brought them together, but it's always been a choice to stay together.
"Playing with your life, or is it destiny/ which sets you on a path? Is it out of choice that you're here next to me/ or just the aftermath/ of moments as they pass?"
Anyway, hope the season made you feel things! My full Chaos Theory Playlist for all 3 Seasons is now updated too:
