Camp Camp Season 4 episode 1 spoilers below!!
Rewatching the new Camp Camp episode, I got to the ending (which I LOVED by the way) and realized that when David and Max say “Oh my god” in unison and stare at their hands in horror, it didn’t quite make a tooooon of sense for Max to do so the way I first thought. I saw it as them both reacting the same way to “People CAN change, for better, OR for worse! You two are really rubbing off on each other!” David was reacting like “Oh gosh, I did something bad??? Who am I? What’s becoming of me?” staring at his hands in shock that he would do something like that. So I thought Max was doing the same, like “oh my god, ew, I’m becoming more like DAVID?? Who am I, some sort of overly sweet annoying sap???”
But the thing is, nothing Max did in that episode/scene/moment showed him being particularly better/different from Beginning-of-Season-1 Max. So I realized… it’s possible Max wasn’t thinking “Oh my god, what have I become?” like David was, but instead “Oh my god, what have I done? Am I really making David a worse person? Do I just ruin good people? Shit.”
Season 1 Max would’ve been thrilled to “crack him.” Season 4 Max doesn’t want David to be more like himself, because if he were, he’d never have shown Max the unconditional kindness that he did. He’s the one person who’s proven to Max that he’s not a bad person – and even though the episode centered around Max trying to prove he was still bad, David knows better. Like he said in Season 2: “You have every right to be angry. But you deserve to be happy.”
And HOO BOY if that ain’t some angst fodder right there!
Ok so I was lying awake in bed thinking about random shit and then I decide to start reading the fandom wiki pages for fandom characters I like, right? So then I get to David from the series Camp Camp. I was reading through his wiki when I started realizing... In several episodes David stated that Cameron Campbell was like the father he never had, and in one of them, he said it in a way that suggested he grew up without a father. This implies that either he’s an orphan or he grew up with only his mother. As I continued, I started noticing that the wiki page mentioned several times that David would often collapse under pressure and break down into a sobbing, trembling panic attack and the slightest feel of failure. In one episode of Caml Camp, David went to the kitchens and saw that the pantry was empty or something like that (I don’t remember exactly) and started crying that he was a failure and couldn’t do anything right. This made me start to think that maybe David went through some sort of trama in his early years that caused this utter phobia of failure. Back to what I said about David growing up with his mother or in an orphanage. It is very likely that David was put through emotional and potentially physical abuse as a child. Imagine it, a young David living in a house without a father and his abusive mother. David’s “normal” happy-go-lucky attitude also supports this theory. Many people have the mindset that they have to hide how they really feel and cover up the cracks in their facade with smiles and laughs. And another thing about that would be the fact of the events that occurred in the episode “The Forest”. David went on an entire emotional and brutal journey through the woods to try his way back to camp after getting lost. He was cold, his was injured, he had a broken leg for crying out loud. We even get to see him lose his temper when he goes to kill the wolf that had been terrorizing him in the midst of a panic attack, but David can’t bring himself to do it so simply drops the boulder he had picked up and cried. But the time skip where we see David with a beard, and a semi healed leg, taking care of the wolf and nourishing it back to health really got to me. He went through hell in that forest, with the wolf being a major cause of most of it, and he put those negative feelings aside to help her. When the wolf later is killed by a bear while protecting David, we see him bury her and call her friend. This is the creature that caused him to break his leg and endure so much heart ache, and he still cares so much about her. The fact that David simply covers up all the emotion he had when returning to camp astoundes me. If he can hide all that with a smile, what else is he hiding?
Anyone who says that David isn’t an amazing character is lying. I’m aware that a theory similar to this probably already exists, so I apologize if this isn’t new information to you. But like... damn.
ITS HERE!!
A proper explanation of my theory regarding davids obvious trauma coding within camp camp as of current date.
Please read at your own discretion
I would really appreciate discussion on this post!
Please comment, or dm me, i crave feedback in the form of words!!
I wanna hear what you all think.
The Diagnosis Of David
Disclaimer: I am by no means a mental health professional. This is just a meta-analysis.
What do we think of when we think of David?
His values of kindness. Optimism. Hope. Conviction. Passion. His drive to do his best every single day. The way he always makes an effort to reach out to others.
But also:
Attachment issues. People pleaser. Rose-colored glasses wearer. And at times, though the fandom doesn’t want to acknowledge it — Selfish. Unstable. Rude. Hypocritical. Kind of a dick.
See this video I made;
He’s complex, so let’s try to unpack him, and figure out what he’s got going on under that floof.
On David’s Childhood
David has been through a number of traumatic events in his childhood, most notably:
Witnessing Jasper fall to his near-death.
Finding Jasper, and being almost mauled by bears during the escape.
Clown school was apparently very bad, given the flashback-like reaction he had when it was mentioned. I’m unsure of his age when this occurred, however.
The fight with Jasper at the cave before they parted ways.
Losing Jasper. He says Cameron told him he was picked up by his parents, but I’m not convinced it’s not just his mind trying to erase painful memories.
As far as what we don’t necessarily see in the show, but can infer, David’s father was either not present or not great. He dreamt Cameron was his real father, as seen below.
And we all know Cameron is an awful father figure to begin with.
Yet, that’s better to David, apparently, than whatever he had at home. Which implies it was likely a pretty bad situation.
This can also be backed up by his attachment to the camp — growing up (and even now) it seems to be more of a home to him than his actual home.
That’s a home that hasn’t ever been mentioned, by the way. Contrary to Gwen, we know absolutely nothing about his family. He hasn’t talked about them once, if I recall correctly.
David is often open with emotions, if not wearing his heart on his sleeve. So why would he never mention his family and home?
We know why.
Even as an adult, he has retained this attachment to Cameron (who has in turn, continued to use this attachment to his benefit). He gets very excited about helping Cameron change in “keep the change” — because he needs to believe people who hurt him can get better. Otherwise, it’s too painful to bear.
The Loss Of Jasper
Part of his childhood, but significant enough to warrant its own section.
Jasper and David had a very interesting relationship. We’ve seen in the past that David was pessimistic, foulmouthed, and hot-tempered, directly compared to an optimistic, peppy, popular Jasper.
But then Jasper saw Cameron’s real self, and David received a modicum of praise for what was likely the first time based on his reaction. And so, they basically did somewhat of a switcheroo.
(David takes on many traits of Jasper after this experience, showing that he does admire him at the end of the day. I believe these traits are the foundation of David’s many masks.)
Despite the whole shebang, further episodes show us that they form a strong bond (or maintain one, we don’t know what happened before the first Jasper and David episode.)
What makes this friendship especially crucial in David’s development is that I believe Jasper was the first person to truly stand up for David.
David is, as we have seen, easily manipulated. Jasper picks up on this, and knowing Cameron’s just trying to use his best friend, tries to take Cameron down.
Jasper essentially died trying to protect David.
If Jasper hadn’t died, I don’t think David would have ended up as gullible and dependent as he is. If he had the more rational and realistic Jasper by his side during the rest of his developmental years, I believe things would have ended up much, much differently.
With Jasper’s death, there seems to be nobody else at camp who knows of Cameron’s crimes, or possibly, doesn’t want to speak out about them. Nobody to stand up for him. Nobody to redirect him.
So there’s nobody to stop the unhealthy-attachment-train from picking up speed.
Cameron And David’s Relationship
Cameron is manipulative and abusive towards David. This even becomes physical:
Despite this, David continues to idolize him as is seen in many cases of abuse. He works his ass off maintaining Cameron’s camp. Cameron’s approval makes or breaks him, because this is the man he sees as a father, unfortunately.
In addition, David is unable to let go of the hope that Cameron can change, because he’s convinced himself that deep down Cameron is still “good”, based on his skewed perception of him. And we all know how that ended.
But as Diane from Bojack Horseman once said —
And that is David’s problem — he wants so much for there to be a “deep down”, that there will be a day where Cameron showers him with praise and throws signed adoption forms at him, etcetera.
He judges Cameron not on who he actually is, but who he wants him to be. And so, the unhealthy attachment remains.
(Which is, of course, incredibly destructive to his mental health.)
Other Things We Know About His Mental Health, From Canon
We know he takes meds.
We know he has (sometimes dissociative) panic attacks.
We know he has been seen to suddenly snap, even to the point of violence.
My Final Conclusion: C-PTSD
(As the trauma has been not just one event, but many over the course of his life, and among other reasons, I believe CPTSD fits better than PTSD.)
David meets much of the criteria, most notably:
Lack of emotional regulation
Dissociation
Flashbacks
Anxiety
Guilt and shame
Distorted perception of abuser
Relationship difficulties
Okay this was long I’m tired good night.
I realised David's type is a person with strong body
