Coping with Chaos Theory ending with an au where the campers were never able to get off of Isla Nublar and had to just keep surviving on the island.
…right until years later when the volcano started erupting and getting off the island suddenly became very important.
More yapping under the cut
Eventually the campers started to outgrow their old clothes, or they just got too torn up, so they had to find something to replace them. But basically all that was available was Jurassic World merch, and after everything they’d been through with the hybrids and the park and Wu leaving them for dead, they didn’t have the most positive feelings towards the park anymore so they covered up the logos.
The only articles of clothing that weren’t from gift shops were Brookylns old jacket which still (sort of) fit her, Kenji’s pants which were his dads from the pent house that he started wearing once he was old enough that they fit, and Ben’s vest which he found in Owen Brady’s shack and thought looked cool.
Yaz’s ankle wasn’t able to fully heal right without access to proper medical equipment, so she does still need to have a makeshift brace on it. She can still run away from danger when need be, but if she over exerts it she’ll be out of commission for a few days after. Everyone got other minor injuries over the years, hence all the scars, but I think after all that time they’d have figured out which plants in the jungle would be able to help with aches and pains.
Although I didn’t draw her they still absolutely have Bumpy as part of their pack and she’s gotten them out of more than a few close calls. I think it’d be fun if they’d befriended one or two other dinos as well but I haven’t decided what yet.
The campers got even closer and more trauma bonded to each other. They’re practically inseparable, mostly moving as a unit. They can still go out on solo missions, but if it lasts more than a couple hours everyone gets really antsy. I’d want them to have the same ‘I’ll kill I’ll lie I’ll blackmail I’ll do anything to keep you safe’ energy that the gang has in the later half of Chaos Theory but the whole time. If they got back to the mainland this time around I don’t think they’d be able to live apart anymore.
And there’s no way they’d leave Bumpy, if they’re going she’s going too. Which means when the volcano starts erupting and all the mercenary guys from Fallen Kingdom show up the campers have to make sure they steal a boat big enough for Bumpy to come, which is easier said than done.
So yeah! It was super fun drawing this, as doing Camp Cretaceous/Chaos Theory art always is! I can’t believe the show is over, I already want to go back and rewatch it all.
