Send your Disventure Camp takes (be nice)

[disventurecamptakes]

Welcome to Disventure Camp Takes!

Rules:

•No bullying/insulting/harassing/etc. other users or Disventure Camp staff; if your takes are about a real person, please make sure they’re respectful; mod will only post/reblog posts about a major name in the fandom (ex: a writer, VA, popular fan artist, etc.) doing something truly egregious (ex: abusing someone) for safety and public awareness if there is credible proof of the accusation. This is not a callout blog

•No sexually explicit/NSFW takes

•No takes/comments about adult/minor ships (the minor characters being Drew, Fiore, Lake, Maggy, Sofia, & Nina) and incestuous ships please; this will result in an immediate block

•Headcanons count as takes and you may submit them!

•Please respect the canon identities of the characters. Should go without saying, but takes about, say, Gabby being shipped with a man or Dan secretly not being asexual will not be posted

•Should go without saying again but if you say anything racist, misogynistic, antisemitic, homophobic, transphobic, etc. you will be blocked immediately; let’s all be normal and not shitty here

•Please keep replies to other takes (on the post or in the inbox) kind and civil; I encourage you to relegate callouts and vague posts to your own blog if you really feel the need to make them

•This blog does not support leaks; if you watch an episode early, please wait until after it’s released to the public to talk about it

•Mod is in college and works part-time so posting may be irregular and hiatuses may happen frequently without warning; if you’d like to start your own consistently posting DC takes blog, feel free! I certainly don’t own the idea, lol

•This blog is for Disventure Camp takes specifically, not TD fan projects as a whole. If you have a take combining Disventure Camp with another project (ex: “I think Jake from Disventure Camp and Vijay from Reality Resort would be friends”), that’s fine, but posts purely about other fan projects unrelated to Disventure Camp will not be posted, please either find another relevant blog or make your own

•Rules may change in the future; this post will be pinned on blog so you can check

Use of tags:

•Negative posts about a character/ship/season will be tagged “x hate” (ex: ship hate, season hate, character hate, etc.); please do not take it personally if I mistag your post as hate, it’s purely for filtering purposes so I’m a bit liberal with it

•(Effective: 2/14/25) Hate posts about a character or ship will not be tagged with those characters’ names or the ship’s name (ex: a hate post about Spencer will not be tagged “Spencer Lawrence”, while a neutral or positive post about him will be). However, other characters or ships mentioned in the post in a neutral or positive light likely will be (ex: a hate post about Tomjake that mentions Ashley being a good friend to Jake will get tagged with “disventure camp ashley” and “Ashley Graham”, but not “tomjake”, “disventure camp jake”, “tom reed”, etc.)

•Anons who identify themselves will be tagged as “[emoji] anon” and “x anon”. For example “♥️ anon” and “heart anon” are the same person, “🥥 anon” and “coconut anon”, etc. This way you can click the tags and see takes from certain anons on the blog

•Posts with my opinion or update posts will usually be tagged as “mod speaks” and/or “not a take”

•Content warnings will be structured as “cw x” (ex: cw blood, cw death, etc.) and/or “cw x mention”

•Posts about Gen 1&2 characters will be tagged “disventure camp x” (ex: disventure camp lake, disventure camp ellie, etc.) as well as with their canon surnames (ex: lake müller, ellie parker, etc.); posts about Gen 3 characters will be tagged only with their full names (ex: natalia baez, tristan vik, etc.) since we have always known their surnames

•Takes about new episodes will be tagged as “disventure camp spoilers” for a week after the episode’s official release

•Any posts about season four from before its official release are tagged “season four predictions”; any posts from after are tagged as normal

•If you would like my opinion on a take, send the 🗣️ emoji with it! These will be tagged “mod speaks”

•Blog updates will usually be tagged “blog updates” and/or “not a take”

•I occasionally post polls, which you can find by looking for the “polls” tag on the blog

•(Effective 5/22/25) Posts about the tomjake series specifically will be tagged “tomjake series”

With that being said, the inbox should be open and anon should be on! Send a take or several if you’re so inclined and have fun! :]

Why are they making them all vape

[disventurecamptakes]

Anyways, sorry for the hiatus, like I said I’ve honestly lost a lot of interest in the series. Also I’ve just been busy with work, classes, and other projects I’m working on. If I have time this week I’m going to try to clear out the inbox for season two remake takes, since I’ve been hyped about the remake since it was announced, lol. After that I’m not sure if I can promise this blog will stay active regularly because honestly I don’t really care about TJ2 or DC5 that much. But I guess we’ll see. Season one still undefeated in writing quality, let’s go girls ‼️

How do you feel about the season 4 ending?

I’m going to be honest, I stopped keeping up with season four after episode 20. It just kind of got boring for me. I could say a lot about ONC’s writing, but the short of it is that I feel like they create a lot of artificial content to fill run time instead of just putting out denser, shorter seasons. I also think they need to work on pacing their character arcs instead of just having them take one step forward, one step back each episode; it makes it hard to care about a character-driven show like this when the character development is by-in-large circular.

I haven’t seen the finale so I’m not going to give my opinion on it, but based on what I saw of the finalists before I stopped watching and what I’ve heard from other people, I’m not satisfied with who won. And honestly, I’m debating even watching DC5. I’m not mad, just kinda tired of this show. But we’ll see, maybe the season two remake will reignite my hyper-fixation because it looks really promising so far (also I’ve always had a soft spot for the first two generations compared to the DCCOC cast and casts from other fan series).

Also I have no where else to say this but they fucked up Ellie’s hair for Tomjake 2 so bad, the other character designs are great but oh my god, what did they do to her. Okay that’s all <3

Every day we stray a little further from God.

[disventurecamptakes]

I love Diencer & Trijin, they're cute as a couple! But I noticed how ONC has a problem with "Not Show but Tell".

Wdym Diego & Spencer stargazed together, then having Spencer ramblings some nerd stuffs while Diego listened to him???

And wdym that Tristan took liking in Benji bcuz he gave them a crow's nest, then walking on the shore to collect some stuff to add into Tristan's collection?

I'd honestly sell my soul to see these moments being animated, gosh darn it!

I would have liked a bit more out of Ashley, Ally and Tess tbh

[disventurecamptakes]

Tom and James would be such a funny ship because they’d burn down their house

.

[disventurecamptakes]

I’m indifferent at best to most of the men in this show

.

[disventurecamptakes]

I don’t like how the fandom treats female characters like at all

.

[disventurecamptakes]

Grett and Gabby should get married

Riya >>>>>>> Ellie

I honestly.. don't want the other ships to get spinoffs? I'm not even that big on Tomjake, but the point was to explore them as they weren't very explored in depth, and we all know All Stars failed at explaining them.

... What would Jaiden, Gabellie or Huntally do? Hunter and Ally might have a plot, yeah, I'd be down to see that despite, once again, not liking the ship or their characters, I think they need exploration. Jaiden and Gabellie though? They had their happy, confirmed endings. They have nothing to do.

Jaiden is confirmed to have proper support, so there's no way to go off that, their arc is already finished. What more is there? Gabellie might have interesting shit, but Ellie and Gabby both got what they wanted once again. I don't understand what people are expecting from this.

I love Jake so much it hurts seeing how hated he is. I get not liking his character purely because he's not interesting to you or something, but the hate for him is insane.

People act as though his character was completely ruined in one episode, but I feel like people don't even TRY to understand him as a character. People genuinely say he's completely irredeemable which isn't even true, and I've seen someone say ALESSIO is more developed than him which is literally hating just to hate at this point.

Jake, in my mind, is really just a heavily mentally ill person. You can argue you can't use that as an excuse, which is valid, but I see people excuse Ellie and everyone else with it to. RAGHH he's just so interesting to me. Getting with Tom in the first season, was basically knowingly throwing his life away.

He had to hide his former relationship due to his parents thoughts on it, and when he came to the show he finally found someone he can feel comfort in, someone who not only was sweet to him who he could finally open up to (which he probably isn't very used to, saying as he's basically had to hide major parts of himself his entire life, which is probably another reason his emotions are heavily flawed. A lack of support in daily life.) but also someone who comforted him through some of the worst times in his life.

Yes, he jumps to conclusions, and yes he needs to learn from that. He TRIES to talk to him, not at a good time, but this time he is willing to listen to him. Jake is probably extra paranoid, seeing as he was cheated on by his boyfriend of 3 (if I remember correctly) years, so he'd obviously not trust it. Jake should definitely get help, yeah, but that's what I'm SAYING. He's mentally ill, morally grey. He is flawed, but he is not bad or undeveloped.

Reach All Stars, Jake was abandoned by everyone. He's lost basically everything he's known except for Miriam, her being the only support system he had (which he's lucky for, he has no job, barely anyone in his life who really cares) and he's lost the most important person to him, Tom. (I understand both perspectives and I love how painfully flawed these two are)

Now this time, Jake should've gotten help, but I doubt he'd really think so. Jake's mental state has only declined over the past years due to how much he's been alone. I disagree with the Jake has Miriam thing purely because Jake doesn't seem like the type to just forcefully take from the ones he loves. He stated he was genuinely so depressed he tried to end it all (which I think was handled very poorly), showing just how genuinely horrible his mindset was coming into all stars. I honestly think he would've been MORE unstable than we saw him in all stars. Also, the support from his friends being called being "carried" is insane. Jake is mean to Ally, yes, and she's mean back. That's because both of them aren't well, though Jake tries to make amends in episode 14 and she leaves him to die. This was drastic and something he wouldn't do, so calling anything he does irredeemable yet saying she's alright is insane.

Jake's support from his friends, though, is NOT enough. He wouldn't have gotten better even despite this because guess what? His support is not proper help, they cannot do anything to truly help him in the state he is in. All they can do is comfort, which never reassures the paranoia he has no matter how much he wants it to. When he hurts Ally and Connor, it's acknowledged he hurts the ones he loves. It comes from a deep place where he feels he will never get better, and I love that. This episode was so interesting, seeing him fall back into old habits out of fear of being abandoned. I guess any attention is good attention.

Jake's grown a lot, as he seems far more stable by the end and has what he wants. Do I think his writing is perfect? No. That's why I love it. Jake is a well written mentally ill character, and I resonate with him a lot. (Plus, if you wanna add, it's heavily implied that he has BPD even in greetings, and possible autism.)

Thank you for listening. I love you Jake!! ^_^

Spencer was actually BETTER in the new episode, I love him so much. I hate how many people are dogpiling him.

Like, yes, he eliminated Tristan. Jade was fully aware he was gonna do this too and didn't try stopping him so why is it just him? I love Tristan, don't get me wrong, they weren't my ideal pick on who was going home either, but I love Spencer's current state.

I'm hoping we get a male main villain in general, and Spencer was already my personal pick. In my perspective, while it isn't the smartest move, Spencer is simply doing what he sees right for him like Ally or Ellie. I think this is a much better way to take his character than yaoibait, it's not only finally our first male main villain (alec once again is a side to fiore), but it honestly made the elimination better.

every time I see someone getting mad about people shipping spencer with a woman I want to bash my head against a wall. god forbid people ship the PANSEXUAL man with people of different genders. y’all reek of pan/biphobia

[disventurecamptakes]

Benji should be the first boot because he's not entertaining, useful or overall necessary for some plot in the season. Not only he has huge incel loser vibes, he literally do NOTHING on this season but be annoying and unnecessary, Marissa should've beated the shit out of Diego on the First challenge so his team could vote him out for already being a dead weight (he was immediately knocked out by Anastasia)

Spencer should've been the second boot, he's just a know it all nerd. I immediately was against him because I just knew he would be the disventure camp gay white twink™ of this season and that Diego will be his pair so they could run this season (thankfully that didn't happened)

And Lynda should've been the 3rd boot for obvious reasons
