Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous: “Things Fall Apart” (2020)

So, after 2020 and 2021, years where everything in the world fell apart and broke and crumbled and basically sucked... and was trash for me, didn't go the way I wanted or expected.

But we survived. We survived 2020 and 2021, because we can't be kept down. We'll keep getting up again and again, and we'll keep going.

So, keep going. Remind yourself that you're strong, that your spirit is strong.

Keep going.

And Happy New Years.

Dead End is great because tell me any other show that features an openly trans protagonist that would sooner chose to live in a haunted theme park, sleep in a coffin, eat popcorn for breakfast, and bathe in a fountain with his magical talking dog than have an honest conversation with his parents.

This is absolutely whump all around. All 3 girls are in the blender and it is on high!

Zoey finds out first. And talks to Mira, because...

Rumi has patterns.

Their Rumi has patterns.

And it's Mira who thinks about it the next day, while they're trying to figure out how to talk to Rumi.

"The Golden Honmoon is supposed to banish demons. It's going to banish Rumi!"

And obviously they can't let that happen, so they ambush her the next day, mostly on accident.

"We don't want to turn it gold anymore." Zoey mumbles into Rumi's shoulder.

"What?? Why not?" Rumi asks, her tone flat and Zoey flinches even as she snuggles deeper.

"Because we know, Rumi." Mira says, softly.

Rumi stiffens. "Know what?"

"We saw earlier this week. And it's fine, but we can't turn it gold now! What'll happen to you?" Zoey asks.

"I'll be fixed. That half won't exist anymore." Rumi promises.

"You can't get rid of half of yourself." Mira says quietly.

Rumi stands up, ignoring how Zoey falls off her lap.

"We need to turn the Honmoon gold and I will. I would rather do it with you." Rumi says. She turns, pausing at the door. "This is necessary, you two. Please don't be stupid."

Whenever I read a polytrix fic and it's about Rumi giving her sword to someone I think like Rumi obviously thinks her weapon is superior to anyone else's so she must die that way instead of anyone else's weapons. But I do this just to add humor to this sad ass fic like can someone make it where Rumi thinks swords or whatever her weapon is is like top notch so she refuses to die from anything else.

Mira: I could stab you with my gok-do, I mean I'm literally holding—

Rumi: no no, mine is sick as shit, I'm not dying by your nerd ass blade

Zoey: I mean, my knives are fantastic! And I'm a good shot, you know I'd ..wait. Why are we arguing on how to hurt you??!!

Mira: good point, we're not doing this at all, only our Rumi would be stupid enough to argue about how to get killed

Rumi: uh, girls?

That's it. I'm banning y'all from polytrix angst until you learn how to behave. Rumi deserves to be happy and get smooched by her girlfriends, please stop throwing her in the blender /lh

Sooo...My brain cooked up something...

What do you guys think of a pattern reveal in a...different way? It's messy, bear with me. I didn't sleep last night. This is an idea I got for severe anxiety + chronic pain Rumi pattern reveal.

Let's assume the Idol awards were postponed to 2 or 3 days from the initial date due to venue problems.

Rumi couldn't take her anxiety meds that morning because there is supposed to be a time interval before each dose; Rumi couldn't take hers before 7am. Then the train fight happens.

The whole thing leaves Rumi so devastated that she doesn't even take her meds. And the thoughts of singing Takedown at the Idol Awards are gnawing at her mind. Ugly thoughts that she doesn't deserve to live because she is a lying, filthy demon. Then, chronic pain kicks up while bandaging the wound that huge demon with a club had given her because she wasn't focused on the fight and thought she deserved to die. She'd thrown the last of her meds in the sink because she was so angry at herself. Now she's having a panic attack.

The pain with the immense anxiety slowly builds up, but it is just bearable enough. Rumi, feeling guilty about snapping at Mira, goes to apologise. She knocks on Mira's door. Mira and Zoey were cuddling. Mira walks to the door, opening it to find Rumi, telling her that if it was about what happened on the train that morning, it's fine. She says it was fair for Rumi to snap because she was already stressed about her voice not being okay, and that Mira was making it worse by pressuring her to tell them what she was hiding.

She sees a tear stream down Rumi's face, then another, which immediately alerts her and Zoey. Rumi never actually cried in front of them. Rumi walks forward to wrap her arms around Mira, her pain escalating. She can only say one word: "Hurts…". It alerts them even more. Rumi's pain tolerance was high. She could shrug off the pain of broken bones or a stab wound just so she could take care of them first. Rumi being in pain means she's in a lot of pain.

Mira guides her to the bed, Zoey sitting up and scooting away to make space for Rumi, asking if she's hurt, to which Rumi's reply is yes, but she'd already taken care of it. Rumi's sobs escalate and she buries herself in Zoey's warm hug. Mira goes to get painkillers but is stopped by Rumi. Rumi tells her that normal painkillers don't work, she takes high end painkillers which she'd currently run out of. Rumi asks Mira to come back to bed, to hold her. Mira does that immediately because this is the most vulnerable they've ever seen Rumi.

After a while, when Rumi's hyperventilation has lowered a little, her sobs still there, Mira asks her why she takes high end painkillers instead, why normal ones don't work. Rumi says that she's diagonised with chronic pain. Severe anxiety too, which apparently makes the pain worse. Mira and Zoey ask her why Celine never told them about this. Rumi says that Celine; her guardian, her mentor, the closest thing she has to a mother; doesn't know either. It sets of alarms in Mira and Zoey's minds. Celine knows everything about Rumi because she raised her.

Zoey asks her why she didn't tell Celine abt this. Rumi says that she's enough of a burden on Celine, she didn't want to give her another reason to even consider killing Rumi. Mira and Zoey go still, their blood running cold. Zoey asks her what she means by that, had Celine tried to kill her? Mira's grip on Rumi tightens at this, pulling their leader closer. Rumi says that no, she didn't, but she should've because Rumi is an abomination, one that is putting the Honmoon in danger by merely existing. Mira's the one to ask her this time: Wdym?

Rumi says that it's because of who her mother fell for. Her father. Who was a demon. Which makes Rumi a demon. Rumi barely pulls up her sleeves to show them the patterns on her arms and pulls down her turtleneck to show them crawling up her neck. Her patterns are the reason her voice isn't working. Because she is the daughter of a Hunter, the Honmoon reacts to her more strongly, but her outbursts sometimes cause her demonic voice to come out and weaken the Honmoon. She can't be a protector. She's weakening the very thing protecting the human realm from Gwi-Ma.

Mira and Zoey are still, listening to Rumi's sobs while processing the fact that their leader was the very thing they're supposed to kill. Despite Rumi being half-demon, Celine still drilled into their heads that all demons must die and that the golden Honmoon would lock away all demons forever….But Rumi is a demon too…half-demon. What would happen to her? Would she too be locked away with Gwi-Ma and his demons? The very thought of losing Rumi terrified them more than her being a demon.

Mira asked wetly why she'd never told them and got the very answer Zoey was expecting: Celine told her that they wouldn't understand, that it wouldn't have made them the most successful hunters there have ever been. Zoey asks why Celine wanted the Honmoon golden. Rumi says that the golden Honmoon was supposed to take away her patterns, cleanse her demonic blood and make her normal again. Mira asks her, angry and sad, what was the guarantee that the golden Honmoon wouldn't have locked Rumi away with the demons instead?

Rumi tells her that Celine wouldn't do that, wouldn't hurt Rumi like that. She's always told Rumi that her patterns would go away when the Honmoon turns gold. That she'd always theorized—That word stops Rumi dead in her tracks. It was just theorized. They never even knew if the Honmoon could be turned gold. Sure, they'd seen strands of gold, but could it even actually be done?

Rumi almost has another panic attack which is stopped by Zoey and Mira when they tell her they don't care if she's a demon or not. She's their teammate, leader, and family. They love her for who she is, not what she is. After Rumi calms down, Zoey calls Celine, and Mira confronts Celine on the phone abt not telling her and Zoey that Rumi is half-demon, and that they both refuse to turn the Honmoon gold because it might lock Rumi away. Mira tells Celine that Rumi had severe anxiety and chronic pain, something she didn't want to tell even Celine because she felt like a burden. Celine's breath hitched on the line before Mira cut the call.

Zoey and Mira's reassurance that they would never hate her, and that they love her for all she is, sends Rumi into a dreamless sleep for the first time in weeks, the two following soon after, snuggling closer to Rumi, who was sandwiched between them.

Yeah...so. Just a normal 3 AM thought. I thought of it more like how a fic should be, but being sleep-deprived has messed it up a bit.

Would y'all like a fic of this?

inspired by this tumblr post

zoey accidentally grazing rumi's arm with her shinkal and apologizing profusely, asking her over and over if shes okay and rumi assures her she's fine with a smile, while completely covering her wound with her hand, trying to hide her patterns from the other two. she pretends shes fine and says it was just a graze, nothing to worry about

but then they go back home and rumi goes to her room and shuts the door behind her and finally takes her hand away and the wound....wont stop bleeding

shes glad that despite being a half-demon, the honmoon weapon didnt kill or dispel her from a simple graze, but now she has a new problem

its not a big enough or deep enough wound to need stitches, but when it wont stop bleeding, she stitches it up anyway and wraps bandages over it

it does heal, but very egregiously slowly. too slowly and it hurts

so now, not only does she still need to hide her patterns from her girls, she also has to hide this wound that is healing way too slowly for their sped up honmoon healing

rumi tries to avoid her girls, but well, theyre in the same kpop group with the same/similar schedules and they live together, so thats, uh, not exactly easy

about a week after the incident, rumi is up early and attempts to grab something from a kitchen shelf with her still-injured arm. call it hubris. the pain makes her flinch and the dish slips from her hand and crashes onto the floor

and ofc, rumi naturally puts a hand over her still-painful wound, right as mira walks in

I love you sbglings’ comments

violettbackedstarling

oops this was supposed to be an organized post about zoey having anger issues but now its just a long ramble, oh well, enjoy i guess

i wrote an big ass essay in @plslemmedie’s comments and still had more thoughts so I’m just making my own post lol(go look at his post(and all his stuff) its very good) i will repeat my points from the comments tho so don’t worry about missing anything

To start, the character introductions mention that zoey gets scary in rap battles and that “you better watch out” while mira’s only mentions that she is the black sheep of her family. Zoey’s aggression is one of the first things we hear about her, so it’s clearly important, and it’s a description of her from others, while mira is only ever described(in the movie) as aggressive by herself. We see mira being direct with rumi about how she thinks rumi is acting strange and hiding something, but she only pushes the issue on the train, after rumi has already dodged her questions several times, and she doesn’t get insulting or physical, she just asks questions that rumi doesn’t want to answer. To rumi(and the audience because rumi is the main character) this feels aggressive because mira is hitting a sensitive point, but mira isn’t being unreasonable when she asks for answers. Zoey shows anger and aggression as well, she just pushes it down or directs it at herself. At the doctors office, she seems to get upset at his reading of her but she quickly laughs it off. When she gets mad at rumi for wanting to change the takedown lyrics, she tries to destroy her notebook, directing her anger at her own work rather than at rumi. But when they are backstage after golden, zoey is the one to confront rumi about the patterns, and to get mad at her association with jinu. “How can we be together when we cant tell your lies from your truths” feels much more angry than “i knew it was too good to be true” which just feels sad and resigned. Overall i read mira as someone who is not afraid to address and talk about her emotions, and others emotions as well, she starts the emotional exchange before the idol awards and shes the one whos trying to figure out whats wrong with rumi so they can fix it. She might be insecure about this trait because she sees it as aggressive, but it actually makes her a great communicator and by far the most emotionally intelligent of huntrix. However, zoey is someone who pushes her emotions down because they are “too much” giving her much more potential for an emotional blowup than mira.

I think the problem with putting zoey in the mediator role is that there is nothing for her to do. Mediators are there to make people be honest about their emotions rather than avoiding them or devolving to insults, but mira is already someone who is honest about her emotions and trying to make rumi do the same, and even when rumi is mean to her we don’t see anything to imply that mira would start being mean too. Notice how in the train scene zoey only stops the fight when they need to focus on killing demons, she isn’t trying to meditate the fight because it doesn’t need mediating, mira already fills that role. Zoey trying to stop them wouldn’t be helpful because this is a conversation they need to have, and there isn’t anything in miras method that she needs to change

i want more fics with aggressive, emotional zoey and mediator mira. I think this could actually make *both* characters more interesting because i think mira would see her mediation as more aggression, she is making rumi and zoey acknowledge things they dont want to talk about and in doing so upsetting them, and even if its for the better i bet she would feel bad about it. Maybe zoey and rumi can help her realize that her being “aggressive” is what made them finally acknowledge their emotions so they could begin to heal. I also find it interesting that mira doesn’t really acknowledge when Zoey’s upset in the movie, she doesn’t even look at zoey as she tries to rip up her notebook. The actual reason for this is probably just that rumi is the main character so everyone is focused on her, but it would be interesting if mira had to deal with guilt at not noticing zoeys built up anger. Maybe zoey is mad at mira for being so attuned to rumis emotions but not noticing zoeys impending breakdown, maybe she thinks mira just doesn’t care. why should she? Zoey is being unreasonable anyway

imagine after the idol awards mira is just glad that her family is back together, maybe she has a little bit of anger but she quickly acknowledges it and works through it either on her own or in a conversation with rumi. Rumi is still working through her shame but she knows now that mira and zoey dont hate her so she’s already in a much better place. And zoey is… fine. Sure she was angry at rumi for lying to them but mira worked through it and rumi isnt mad at them for reacting poorly so everything is fine. If everyone else is okay then zoey being angry still would be unreasonable and rumi and mira shouldn’t have to deal with her being so overly-emotional. Maybe she gets a twinge of anger when rumi continues to hide her true feelings out of habit but she quickly pushes it down (she’s a hypocrite but Rumi’s feelings are valid and a lot of them come from trauma so she deserves to have help working through them, zoey should be able to figure out her emotions herself). Eventually that anger explodes and she knows shes being unreasonable but she never learned how to stop the anger and now thats its out she cant push it down no matter how hard she tries

I like the idea of zoey not having any big major trauma and discounting her feelings because of it. Miras family is abusive, and rumi was raised to hate herself, they’re allowed to be angry, be sad, be messy. but zoey had a good childhood, yes it wasn’t all easy but most everyone has dealt with a bit of bullying, parents fighting, moving countries, its nothing *that* bad. it would be wrong of her to act like she understands anything mira and rumi have gone through, it would be selfish to make them help her with her feelings when they deal with way worse. Rumi and mira have to help her understand that just because her life has been “normal” doesn’t mean she came out unscathed, just because those traumas are common or relatively small doesn’t mean they aren't traumatizing, and you don’t have to experience any amount of bad things to “deserve” to feel

or i think an interesting interpretation if you really want to put zoey in the mediator role is just having her be a bad mediator. If you want to interpret her stopping the fight on the train as an attempt at mediation then maybe her idea of mediation is just stopping any conversation with negative emotions, even when it’s important. Mira tries to get rumi to open up but zoey stops her because it could cause tension. After the idol awards zoey stops any attempts at a serious discussion of what happened because they’re all together again and she cant take that risk. Zoey accidentally pushing her own emotional repression onto rumi and mira because she never learned the difference between an important emotional conversation and a relationship-breaking fight

or maybe you could explore the similarities between rumi and zoey, both feel so much shame for taking up any space in the lives of those they care about. Rumi constantly pushing herself to be the perfect leader, never resting or leaning on her friends. Zoey constantly sanding herself down to avoid being too much, she never lets herself feel anything that might put a strain on others. On the surface their relationship is fine, they have fun together and do love each other but have they ever had a deep conversation? How much do they really know about each other when all they’ve ever talked about is the easy, surface level stuff, each making themself as palatable as possible at the cost of a deeper connection

idk this was supposed to be more organized but then it got rambly again, i just love zoey and think there is so much more to explore with her then people give her credit for

plslemmedie

You. You get the vision of Zoey that I crave in fanfics, you are my favorite person for the next five minutes

chickeninatophat

It is interesting how much people shy away from showing Mira and Zoey's respective character flaws

Rumi's flaws are those of being too focused, too pliable, too selfless. All of which are things that are, in general, praised and encouraged. Work hard, don't let emotions get in the way, be loyal, be soft, be kind, etc, etc.

Whereas Mira's flaws are that she's uncontrollable, she talks about the stuff people don't want to, she ignores politenesses, won't follow social obligations.

And Zoey is uncontrolled, she says things without thinking, she lets her emotions take center stage in a way that frightens people, doesnt know how to stop.

Zoey and Mira, to me, both represent the parts of oneself that people berate you for. The things that inconvenience and make people see you as a liability, things that are deemed unacceptable.

Because of that, I think a lot of fics end up presenting the version of the trio that they see in each other. Where none of them are ever really too much, or too blunt, or too focused, or causing problems by existing.

But I want to feel that dissonance. I want to see how they all hurt people or risk causing problems but have another of them there to balance it.

Mira saying the thing that needs to be said and Rumi smoothing over the situation so it gets heard properly. Zoey exploding about something with Mira there to point out that she's correct actually and making people listen. Rumi going full planning competence mode with zoey there to make people feel more at ease

In short, I need them to break things, it's good for my mental health

garnetislovegarnetislife

rumi gets lead away and bit or stung by an unfamiliar looking type of demon on a hunt at some point, but before she can try and figure out what it is, mira and zoey run up and kill it. she keeps expecting some effect to happen, but just…nothing does.

they try and research the demon type, but theyre not finding much, especially with what little look rumi got of it, and with what little effect the bite/sting seems to be having.

it takes them a week of monitoring the bite/sting, before eventually they give up on that giving them any clues other than the fact it did that to her to begin with.

another week later, they’re going through a book full of different portraits for different types of demons before rumi finally spots one that looks like the one that got her

zoey looks it up while mira is looking over her shoulder, and they read its entry and freeze. rumi is in the other room, getting snacks.

turns out the demons bite/sting works just like cupids arrows. whoever gets bitten/stung is supposed to fall madly in love with the first person they see. rumi saw both of them at the same time. so she should have been falling all over them. acting crazy and obsessed with them

but the thing is, rumi hasnt been acting any differently since it happened. and the only thing that could mean is-

rumi comes into the room. “oh, did you guys find something?”

zoemira: *slowly nod*

rumi comes over and reads the entry. shes surprised. “oh! i guess it’s good i ran into you guys first!” they think shes confessing her feelings, but instead she turns and grins, and says “it must not count for you two because i saw both of you at the same time!”

mira sputters. “b-but we saw bobby yesterday, and you weren’t any different towards him!”

“well, i guess you guys completely nullified the effect then! thanks for that!” and she pats their back and walks away

zoemiras jaws are on the floor. they’re going through the five stages of grief and several states of euphoria all at once.

it takes another two days for it to click in rumis brain. when it does, theyre in the kitchen making food together, and she just stops and, like she’s just getting a joke now and not realizing that she’s in love w her two best friends, shouts “oh! i think it didnt work because im actually in love with both of you already! so you guys did actually help me after all by keeping me from seeing someone i wasnt in love w first!” and then nonchalantly continues making food.

zoey and mira stare at her as though shes lost her mind.

the food eventually gets abandoned in favor of… other things they could be using their mouths for
