I never bring this up but jwe3 is literally my comfort game I play on PS5 but it’s on Xbox and PC too. I basically live in sandbox mode because I can do whatever I want — huge maps, custom enclosures that actually look natural, terrain tools, and you don’t have to babysit power all the time. It’s pure creative mode I’ve built

1) near replica of my grandads farm

2) near JWFK replica

3) almost perfect JW replica

104 dinosaurs??? With skins and babies and hybrids?? Unhinged. And June 16th we’re getting the Jurassic World Rebirth expansion and it’s gonna be the biggest one so far

Blimey! Would you look at that sky! It’s gone darker than a welsh farm trench in about two seconds flat! I mean, we said we wanted a bit of rain for the plants, but this is war

The college had to pack it all in and send everyone home early, yeah? Half past two, bang! Thunder was rumblin’ closer and closer, weather got well too violent for learnin’. So the deputy principal, she’s like, “Right, everyone out, immediate evacuation!”

"The Round-Up"

Intro: David Bevan. My grandfather. He learned the ropes by himself

Verse1: He came home from the service with nothing but his hands Found a wife, made a life, a daughter and a son Took a fine old farm in a fine forest in wales When the barns fell down, he learned to lift them back up News ran for miles, not because it was grand But because he never stopped mending

Chorus: Two dogs at his heel, his steady company He worked that land till the sun sank in the sky Every night the sheep were counted, safe and penned And the valley learned his walk

Verse 2: Out one day for wood, he saw what it could be Called it farm fever, and hammered our name in the gate Family came from miles around just to watch him build Where there was nothing, he raised a barn Where there was bracken, he cut a sheep field It turned to a roaring trade, all from his own hands

Chorus 2: Grandad was our hero, not for medals, for the farm No fear of delay when the work was waiting Soon as his boot left the door and touched the ground We'd hear him calling out our names

Bridge: Now we light the bonfire and I still hear him "Roll it wide, as far as it'll go" Click of his fingers, calling the roll Like he's counting us now, not the sheep

Final Verse: Then cancer came, and we tried to lift the hay for him In and out of debt, it was touch and go We kept the farm going while he was slipping He stayed long enough to see us learn how And when David passed, we knew His round-up was complete

Outro: we sold the farm with his name hanging by the empty gate The sun still sinks each day shining his name And we are left to carry his name

Honestly? Can July just hurry up already? I'm gagging for it. Two weeks, proper fortnight, just chilling at Disney World Orlando

I've literally got my hit list sorted, right

Hollywood Studios – Galaxy's Edge, I'm going straight for Resistance Supply, then First Order Cargo, and I'm gonna lose actual hours in Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities.

Animal Kingdom – Zuri's Sweets Shop, obviously, I've got a sweet tooth, and Windtraders

Magic Kingdom – Tomorrowland Launch Depot, Star Command, Star Traders. All three

Epcot – The Fjording in Norway. One stop but it's happening

Disney Springs – Super Hero Headquarters, Star Wars Galactic Outpost, and that Dino-Store at T-Rex.

That's it. That's literally everything I wanna see. I'm not even joking, I'm buzzing for it

Jurassic World: Chaos Theory Season 5 Concept

Jurassic World: Chaos Theory Season 5 Concept Title Idea: “Echoes of Extinction” Timeline: 2 years after the Nublar Six took down BioSyn

Core Premise

The Nublar Six have scattered, trying to build normal lives around dinosaurs. But when word spreads that Brooklynn might be alive, the crew is pulled back together for a globe-trotting search that forces them to confront guilt, family, and a new wave of dino trafficking tied to Soyona Santos.

Where Everyone Is at Season Start

Character

Location

Status

Sammy & Yaz

Texas

Converting Sammy’s family ranch into the “Gutierrez-Hunt Dinosaur Rehab & Release Center” for trafficked/ displaced dinos. Yaz handles security + vet work, Sammy runs outreach.

Ben & Kenji

Northern California

Crashing at Darius’s cabin. Ben’s studying animal behavior remotely; Kenji’s funding Sammy’s ranch while wrestling with his father’s legacy.

Darius & Brooklynn

BioSyn Global Sanctuary, Dolomites

Officially: Darius is a consultant helping re-home BioSyn’s dinos with Brooklynn training rescued Atrociraptors

Inciting Incident

Ben gets a voicemail from Brooklynn’s fathers. They’ve tracked news clips from Dubai → Senegal → Rome/Piazza Navona → Malta. Each report mentions Soyona Santos, who recently escaped French Intelligence, alongside a young woman matching Brooklynn’s age and description.

The dads believe Brooklynn is alive and in danger. They’re heading to Dubai to start searching themselves.

Kenji calls Darius in a panic. Darius now has to convince Brooklynn to face her dads and help stop Santos before her fathers walk into danger

The Split-Team Global Hunt

Darius lays out a plan to cover ground fast and keep the dads safe:

Team Texas – Yaz & Sammy: Fly to Dubai then Senegal. They’ll trace Santos’s black-market auction routes through the desert. Sammy’s ranch contacts + Yaz’s combat skills make them perfect for infiltrating trafficking rings. Dino encounter: Corythosaurus used at an illegal fight pit in Dubai; Spinosaurus in Senegalese wetlands.

Team Cali – Ben & Kenji: Head to Rome/Piazza Navona then greater Italy. Kenji uses his father’s old corporate connections to track shell companies. Ben bonds with a rescued Sinoceratops colony in the Roman catacombs. Dino encounter: Titanosaurus pack adapted to urban ruins; JWCC Baryonyx duo Chaos and Limbo locked in cages at illegal shipping port.

Team Dolomites – Darius & Brooklynn: Go to Malta — Santos’s last known base and a hotspot for dino smuggling since Dominion. Darius has to earn Brooklynn’s trust back. She’s terrified her dads will hate her for faking her death, and that Santos will use them as leverage. Dino encounter: JWCC Spinoceratops Angel and Rebel still loyal to Brooklynn; Smilodon trio called saber, dart, razor, a new predator Santos weaponized.

1. Flashbacks of Brooklynn’s Childhood We intercut the present with Brooklynn’s memories: vlogging as a kid, her dads teaching her to code, the first time she felt like she had to “Vlog” for love. These explain why she chose isolation after the attack. Final flashback: the night she decided to fake her death, leaving a message she never sent.

2. New Dinosaurs

Smilodon trio: Santos’s new flagship — smarter than raptors, with a used for attack/intimidation. She’s breeding them for private armies.

Tarbosaurus: in Senegal’s mangroves.

Dracorex: Used by traffickers as “alarm systems” — dangerous in numbers.

Ankylosaurus: at Sammy’s ranch that becomes the rehab’s mascot.

3. New Antagonist Team-Up “The abyss” — Anton Varik, ex-DPW agent who helped Santos escape French Intelligence. He’s a mercenary who believes dinosaurs are the next evolution of warfare. He and Santos are equal partners, not boss/henchman. His goal: Use Brooklynn’s dads to lure her out, capture her to train dinosaurs and sell “loyal” dinosaurs to militaries. He sees Brooklynn as the missing piece Santos couldn’t control.

Major Themes for S5

Found Family vs. Blood Family: The Nublar Six are Brooklynn’s chosen family, but she has to reconcile with the dads she abandoned.

Consequences of Secrets: Everyone kept something from each other for 2 years. Now it’s blowing up.

Rehab, Not Control: Sammy & Yaz’s ranch shows a future where humans help dinos without caging them

Climax Idea – Malta Showdown

All teams converge in Valletta. Santos & Varik have Brooklynn’s dads, using them to force her to hand over her research. Brooklynn finally faces her dads mid-standoff. The smilodon Trio vs Nublar six fight breaks out in the streets.

Final moment: Brooklynn chooses to trust both families. She uses a childhood vlog catchphrase "Brooklanders" to signal her dads to duck, proving she’s still there daughter. The Six, plus dads, take down Santos’s operation. Varik escapes with the research, setting up S6. Santos is killed by her own smilodon

Closing Shot: Sammy’s ranch opens officially. Brooklynn posts her first real vlog in years: “whats good brooklanders Hi… it’s me. I’m not done dead yet. but i do have to explain”

"Bring the Farm Back"

Verse 1 - boots hit frozen ground map folded in my jacket, chasing echoes all around Looking high and low for signal, for the place I used to know Where the soil remembers names and where the old roots still grow Can I find a kind of beacon, some true north to call my own? Chart a new direction — rescue what I thought was gone?

Verse 2 - quad bike lights cuts the shadows, staring back at who I was Kid who got overlooked, lost out in the undertow of dust Grandad’s old farm might be the key, last coordinates to combining cooking and farming with Every fence line tells a story But I swore I’d bring it back — no legacy left behind, no field

Chorus - It’s never been the same since we lost him in 2020 For years I’ve held this hope, steady, solid as stone To combine my future with the land he handed down I’ve unpacked all the old farm things — no, there’s no turning around We don’t quit, we don’t leave our legacy This is the call: bring together two futures

Verse 3 - I wanna see the world through these weathered lines But I can’t move on ‘til I bring the missing back in time Now or never — same sunlight pouring down on the search grid One simple call, one crackle on the radio Could be the thing that leads me to combine two broken paths Into something that could bring the whole damn farm back

Bridge - Every morning, same routine, same food Dazed, distracted, scanning treelines, never part of the herd Plotting GPS points, searching for the address of that farm Every step’s a promise: I’m finding my way back home

Final Chorus - It’s never been the same since we lost him in 2020 But I’ve held this hope, steady, solid as stone To combine my past with the future I’ve been shown I’ve hauled boxes and unpacked all the old farm things — no, there’s no turning around We don’t quit, we don’t leave our own Stand by for contact: bringing the farm back home

Outro - Here on this side of the ridge, I’ve got his history beside me I’ve always been the one who stays out till the last light No matter the weather, no matter how far I roam I’ll always find my way — I’ll always bring ‘em home

Hey Grandad. I wish you were here so I could just tell you this. I remember what you said about the animals and the promise. I haven’t forgotten. But I’m kinda freaking out. time’s slipping. Like the sand’s almost gone and my hourglass is running out — like if I don’t try cooking, the thing that makes me feel alive, it’s gonna be game over. No redo, no revive, no extra life I need to see if I can make something of it before it’s too late. I can’t juggle animals AND cooking right now — I’ll fail at both and hate myself. So I’m choosing cooking first. I’ll come back to animal care, I will. Just not yet. I hope you can forgive me. I’m so sorry, Grandad. I miss you

Right, you know in primary school? How did yours teach you about fire safety? Cos mine, they used a song, innit. And then the actual fire department from town came in — like full uniform and everything — to do drills and practices. They taught us about all the dangers and safety and that

When The Legend Died

Intro: Spoken, almost a whisper My self esteem used to be gold Turned gray the day cancer took him, 2020 He left me confused God, if he came back for one minute I'd never let go of his arms If he'd allow

Verse 1: I still see his farm when I close my eyes Late nights by the river, cold biting our skin You look over those Welsh hills and you're hypnotized For a second, you really believe in paradise Grandad said we'd make the farm a legend We had big dreams carved into the dinner table But when grandad died, the legend died in his chest And not many people told the dream

Verse 2: I remember the barn lights humming Equipment batteries at full power like his heartbeat No meltdowns, no fuel spills back then Just a farm hidden away in Wales, holding us together We were inches from our family's lifelong dream Then the phone call came Now glass shatters from the windows Brick and mortar falls like it's his body giving out

Chorus: I swear on my grandad's grave, cold dirt under my nails One day I'll buy the farm back I'll tear through every bank, every piece of family history Just to see that address in Wales again But everywhere I go, I see his face Disappointed, quiet Like he knows I failed him And I did, I failed him

Verse 3: We built those gravel roads with our bare hands Hauled rubble till our fingers bled Grandad built the barns from nothing Fixed that house when the screws wouldn't meet Poured every penny, every year of his life Into salvaging that farm That's how we ate. That's how we lived.

Bridge: all the Voice breaking The day he passed, the roads cracked open The walls split like someone screamed inside them They left the barn in scraps We couldn't make ends meet, couldn't make sense of anything I am a failure Yeah, say it Everything fell apart Terrible power, poor lightning Bad woodwork, bad grandson It all rots the same

Chorus: I swear on my grandad's grave, but the grave is all I have One day I'll buy the farm back I'll beg for that address in Wales But it was sold Someone else sleeps where he died Oh, everywhere I go, I see his face And he knows I failed him God, he knows I failed him

Outro: Spent years learning to walk with a limp in my chest Learning to walk again Lack of cash ruined the farm Lack of me ruined everything I was too late It was sold while I was still grieving But his voice is in the river still So I'm gonna make a comeback Even if he never sees it Even if it's just to say sorry to the dirt

HAHAHA!!!! Yeah baby I missed this

It’s been to hot without rain finally it coming home back to the old weather finally!!!!

honestly? If I was gonna get a tattoo it would be one of these four. They’re my favorite things I dunno if I’ll ever actually do it. Right now I just, like, collect ideas But I swear, the second I move out? The second I have my own place I’d totally consider it And if my parents ever did let me it’d be tiny. Like, back of my wrist or the top, you know? Something small. Something me

I am honestly counting down the seconds until July because my family is dragging me back to Orlando. Yes, Disney World again.

But okay, hear me out—this year is actually going to be epic because I’m not in a wheelchair this time Last time we went, I was literally eight weeks post-op from major surgery and I didn’t have strength in my arms easy so I could walk but not long without feeling faint and I could barely push myself up those hills, so my mom and my little brother had to do it. But this year? I’m walking. On my own two feet I’ve already got my dad to help me plan a surprise for my mom and brother We’re finally hitting Pizza Window that Disney restaurant we totally missed last time because we were to exhausted we’re going for Two weeks again

Here’s my actual lineup, because I’ve been obsessing:

Animal Kingdom — I’m all about:

1. Festival of the Lion King — because it’s heartwarming

2. Avatar Flight of Passage — yes, I will be rocking around on a banshee

3. Finding Nemo: The Big Blue... and Beyond! — it’s cute and loving

Magic Kingdom — Happily Ever After at night. Fireworks, lasers, lights in the sky — it’s like my brain on caffeine. Can’t miss it.

EPCOT — I’m hitting:

1. Test Track — I get to build a car and then pretend I’m in a racing in a film while it speeds up.

2. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind — one of the good. Soundtrack. I like.

3. The Seas with Nemo & Friends — again, cuteness overload

4. Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure — tiny animal chef chaos. I’m in.

Hollywood Studios — Obviously:

1. Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run — I will be the pilot, and no one can stop me.

2. Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge — Which means the things I missed:

○ Oga’s Cantina for weird drinks

○ Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities to go on a shopping spree

○ First Order Cargo for the evil aesthetic

○ Creature Stall because it’s nice and adorable

3. Toy Story Land — and yes, my list is:

○ Slinky Dog Dash — it’s a rollercoaster.

○ Roundup Rodeo BBQ — BBQ is my second cooking language when I don’t burn the food.

○ Green Army Drum Corps — loud, chaotic, noisy just like college.

○ Jessie’s Trading Post — for when I need to buy my way to happiness or bribe my parents for extra cash

So yeah. I’m counting down the days. This vacation is gonna be epic, and this time I’m actually gonna do stuff instead of being wheeled around

people keep askin’ me why I hate factory recalls Let me tell ya somethin’. That’s the second one we’ve had mechanic-terminated ‘cause the factory broke what wasn’t broke First was that old Peugeot 2008. Rolled in for a recall, rolled out never runnin’ right again. Seven thousand pounds in parts and patch jobs later, we had to put ‘er down. Terminated Then came the Toyota bZ4X. Same song, different verse. Goes in for a recall, comes out deader than a dusty backroad. Five thousand pounds thrown at it, engineers crawlin’ all over it huntin’ gremlins... still wouldn’t turn over. Had to terminate that one too

We ordered a new car today the pics are of the new car the video is the old cars

I’ve been at Easton College since 2023. My friends and some staff who get it know these rules:

Never:

1. Never physically restrain me - no holding me, grabbing my arms without asking

2. Don’t overcrowd me - if I’m stressed, I need space. A crowd makes it worse.

And about my past:

1. Let me come out about my past by myself - don’t push me to talk or assume you know.

2. Let me have space when I’m triggered instead of crowding or shouting at me.

Why I’m saying this: When I was 16 in 2022, my best friend handcuffed me to a table with metal handcuffs for half an hour when no teacher was there

Some of my friends learned the hard way. We were at my desk and Lexie laid a cloth over my hand with a water bottle on top. The next thing I knew everything went fuzzy and black. I came to when Lexie shouted and Ellie yelled. I’d thrown the bottle at Ellie’s head and had the cloth wrapped tight around Lexie’s hands. I apologized right away and explained what happened. I did 5 weeks of college therapy after that, but it didn’t help

It happened again a week before May half-term 2026. My mate Nick put an empty bucket by my arm while I was at a table. I went fuzzy and black again. I snapped out of it when Nick shouted and saw I’d smashed the bucket to pieces.

I tried talking to a college therapist for a week about it. They said ‘you don’t know what special needs he has, he might have been acting out of special needs.’ I shouted back, ‘my old friend literally handcuffed me to a fucking desk with metal handcuffs for a whole half hour when Miss wasn’t there.’ I stormed out and only did 2 more sessions online by video call

Am I the Jerk for tripping my old friend into the river and stomping his hand after he handcuffed me to a table years ago?

Okay so today I was in Thetford at the Light Cinema. I'd just finished dinner at the restaurant next door when I saw an old friend of mine, "Joshua", walking towards me For context: In 2022, on my last day of school, Joshua literally handcuffed me to a table so I wouldn't leave. I had plans to go to college and he didn't want me to go So when I saw him today, my fight-or-flight kicked in and I ran. He ran after me screaming for me to stop so he could "talk". I kept running through the street Out of fear and defensive instinct, I tripped him up. He fell straight into the river by the cinema. He came up soaked and started screaming at me, saying that I was the reason he handcuffed me to the table back in 2022. His logic was that I "promised I wouldn't leave him behind." I told him I never made a promise I couldn't keep. What I actually said back then was I wouldn't leave him behind until I left school to go to college. Which is exactly what happened I tried to walk away at that point. Then he grabbed for my ankle. So I stomped on his hand and yelled, "STOP! THIS IS WHY I SPENT YEARS AVOIDING YOU - SO I WOULDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH YOU AFTER YOU HANDCUFFED ME TO A TABLE!"

Now I'm wondering if I overreacted. He ended up in the river and I did stomp his hand. But also... he handcuffed me and chased me down years later
