#Robot Alejandro the best

[egtotaldramatakes]

I get that we only see Alejandro as the Drama Machine for like 1 episode but Robot Alejandro makes me happy I don't know why or how

That one scene in ROTI? Where he's holding Heather and his emotion meter is at it's highest? AHHHH

..also he cussed in that robot, had to rewatch it, beep beep

Heather: I

Jo: don't trust

Duncan: anyone

Scott: on this

Alejandro: beep beep (translation: fuck-ing)

Lightning: team

I love that

and also when he's about to fall he literally goes "uh oh."

Robot Alejandro they can never make me hate you

hehehe

This au has been brewing in my head for a while

Gone to Rust AU!

(Based on the copious amounts of Steam Powered Giraffe I’ve been listening to)

Basically, during his time as Chris’ assistant Noah takes a fall whilst testing one of the challenges for Chis’ new season of Total Drama. Somehow, through one of the network’s connections, Chris creates an almost perfect replica so that he can still have his best assistant (and totally not because he actually cares about the brat (i’m biased bc dad Chris is like my favourite thing ever)).

During World Tour Noah works as Chris’ assistant and Trent takes his place in the cast (or Eva, honestly idk). Alejandro still loses the season to Heather and as a result, he gets severely burnt just like in canon. Due to pity and some kind of respect for how well he played (and to not get in a lawsuit /hj) Chris “helps” him but putting him in the Drama Machine. While yes, Alejandro is getting medical attention, being put in a robot suit for several months is incredibly traumatising.

Over the story the two bond over their loss of autonomy and Chris actually becomes a better person. I don’t really plan on making it a ship because I really can’t write romance 😭

Close Ups vvv

[jesterjaxx]

Halloween AU lore dump!!!

❗️WARNING❗️

so much infodumping world buidling and headcannons

DJ- Robot

Originally built to be a robo cop type deal. But when given free will refused to hurt anyone and got scrapped

Was found and repurposed by "Momma" to be a son

Really fuckin loves animals. Nature in general but mostly animals.

They get spooked by him a lot though

Hes kinda sad about this but gets it.

Momma is a scraper/engineer and outfitted him with everything a "good human boy" would need, like touch receptors and an ability to taste

Nothing to be done about majorly changing how he looks tho

The ability to feel is a bit too much sometimes

Sometimes all he can feel is cold

Goes to Duncan to see if he can do something about helping communicate to animals that he is a friend. Ala magic.

Machinery and Magic don't mix well typically, you gotta be crazy specific, which isn't really Duncan's styel

Duncan likes DJ tho, and proceeds to steal some of Harolds spellbooks

Side plot of them being wayyyy to hard for him to read, in both way too high level and shitty handwritten chickenscratch that fucks with his dyslexia, so he has to ask Harold for help

Maybe they learn to better understand eachother idk

Maybe they kill eachother

Harold and Duncan team up 6 dead 9 injured every single person is fucking baffled

Anyways DJ is like iron giant up in this bitch

His Momma is kinda worried that one day he'll learn enough mechanics to fix himself up and wont need her anymore

Tyler - Harpy

Ok the chicken fear makes sense now

He gets the uncanny valley feeling looking at chickens

I would too

He would fly into a window

Can he fly?

Hes like a turkey

Or a seagull

Wait im an idiot hes a chicken

Duh

Eva - Gargoyle

Her carver loved buff women thank god almighty for that

Punches like a brick wall

Living Stone

lion paws for feet

Did you guys know sound resonates the best through solids??

Her music listening experience is legit i just know it

Noah - The Blob/ slime monster

Oh god that poor guy

Hes gonna get slime all over his books

Harold - Witch

He's the type of witch to have seperate waters for different kinds of spells

A pretty dorky Witch, even by witch standards

Wears proper witch PPE (robes and hat)

Has his sheldon Big Bang Theory style shirts on underneath tho

Uses incantations and written spells in magical languages mainly

Uses the starlight, paper, ink, historical artifacts and an assortment of magical ingredients as fuels

Has a large collection of quality spellbooks for references

Not those shitty amazon spellbooks that are just a list of pre written spells, these ones were written by some old hag 80 years ago and through flowery rambleing language tell you how write spells yourself. They go into spell syntax.

Harolds books for writing incantations and spells are spiral notebooks

If he uses smbols will typically craft a custom sygil for it

Uses alot of number magic and latin

Uses his confidence in his skills with writing spells to harness magic

Is better at doing spells for other people, when doing spells for himself he tends to overcomplicate things

Actually went to magic camps and magic summer schools

"I was trained for this!" and it's Mostly true

Can make the most specific fucking spell work for him

I cannot stress he is good at this type of casting.

Duncan's way of doing magic pisses him off. Both are convinced their way is better

Harold to Duncan ->"What the fuck do you mean you increased your strength with a posca marker, bare knuckles and a dream. How are you not dead yet >:[ "

He has a lot of respect for magic itself, Duncan's almost disrespectful way of using magic makes him mad.

Whats worse is that it works.

How Harold casts a spell

Writes down a goal -> outlines different methods to achieve it (incantations, scrolls, potions) -> writes out the spelleork with alot of detail accounting for almost every outcome -> it takes very long -> outwardly or inwardly recites writes spell to activate it -> profit

Alejandro - Siren

(I give up with organization here no more bullet points)

Mermaids and Sirens are almost identical, with few overt physical differences

Sirens will typically have colored iris', 2 finned gills, longer tounges, boned ears and uniformly sharp teeth

Mermaids have colored scalera, 3 smooth gills, finned ears and sharp canines

This isn't a rule, and in modern times there are few families of sirens or mermaids that havent mixed with other monsters at some point

Both species have shape-shifting abilities.

Mermaids have two forms, and can switch between them at will, though the process takes hours and the mermaid will have to stay in either aquatic or land form for a couple weeks before changing again. though this wait time can be speed up with tailsmen, it's can cause health problems.

Siren can shift their features at will, including shifting from aquatic to non aquatic with no wait time, some families of Siren encourage "good breeding" and fostering shifting abilities to the point of shifting bone structure, hair, colors and gender at will. This level of shifting controll is a very desirable trait, and cannot be learned.

Alejandro is one of these few families who try to stay purely Siren

Hes a 100% Siren, but unlike his brothers he lacks any shape-shifting abilities, a flaw that has brought him great shame (this is just a genetic fluke, it's like a birth defect)

but he has both a very powerful ability to enchant his words and natural charisma. Dangerous combo.

Because of the well known knowledge that Sirens can manipulate people with ease, Alejandro semi pretends that he is a Mermaid, using his long hair to obscure his gills

He more just lets people assume hes a Mermaid and does not correct them rather than actually lying

He lies about many things but outright lying about species is a bit much

Siren Speech doesn't work as good if someone's also using magic at the same time or knows what's up about it

It doesn't work that great on Heather, Duncan or Harold point blank, or Lindsay, Beth Trent and Justin if they're shifting or shifted

Good thing hes manipulative on his own!

Beth - Mermaid

Yeah sure why not

I don't know enough about Beth yet i need a moot whose obsessed with her

Ezekiel - Ghost

Lmao hes invisible

Poor dude probably gets looked over all the time

Hes just clothes and a transparent person

Justin - Werewolf

The twilight girls would go crazy over him i know it

Cody - Puppet

Oh poor dude

Itll look cool tho

Hed make knock on wood jokes all the time

Trent - Werecat

The trustin girls would go crazy over this i know it

But real like hes chillin

Would use claws as a pick

Geoff - Frankenstein

A man of the people

Literally

Looses limbs easily

Wakes up after a party like "wheres my leg lmao"

Heather - Zombie

Oh this is good

Shes vegan

Would insult people like "i can tell you have a brain why the hell don't you use it"

Very concerned over phsyical appearance

Uses so so many products

Pretty alive looking for a zombie cuz of it

It's kinda creepy

Her eyes got no eyeshine tho

Like a shark.

Gwen - Skeleton/Ghost

Ok this was an accidental double Gwen got both Skeleton and ghost

Since Ezekiel is already a ghost i'm Gonna lean into the Skeleton bit more but throw a transparent silhouette over all of her for the ghost bit

Ghost vs Zombie rivalry

She'd do all sorts of cool drawings and markings on her bones

Gwen, drawing a bat on her femur with sharpie: tattoo moment

Her eyeliner is also sharpie

Who the fuck cares about skincare when you don't have skin

Lindsay: you shouldn't put permanent marker on your face! It can hurt you 🥺

Gwen, floating bones:

LeShawna - Chimera

YES I LOVE MONSTER COMBOS

LIKE COMBINATIONS OF MULTIPLE ANIMALS

lets do classic chimera but with one head

Lean into the Lioness bit cuz Leshawna is a boss bitch and Lionesses are so fucking cool

I might give her a scorpion tail

Duncan - Witch

Another double whoops lol

He's a "fuck it we ball" typa witch

lmao he and Harold are beefing like crazy i know it Harold has 12 spellbooks hes memorized with their specific ways of casting and Duncan is writing runes on his knuckles with sharpie

Duncan to Harold ->"Why are you using 2 pages of latin for a fire spell??"

"Because i need only this bit of wood to light on fire a little bit and nothing else and if i dont i could loose control of it or blow it up or it might not even start"

*stares in did finger guns at a branch and cremated it for fun*

Harold to Duncan ->"Why are you writing runes on your nailpolish??"

"i'm tired of being the only scary bitch here without claws"

*stares in once accidentally rubbed spell notes off of his spellbook and onto his face while passed out on his desk and gave himself acid burns for 3 weeks"

They go crazy they go stupid

Hes self taught

The Duncan and Harold bullying arc turned Street smart vs actually Smart but make it witches

Mostly just picking shit up as he goes

"Stole" (it was free) a pamphlet on different types of magical symbols and has managed to make the symbols illustrated in it work for almost every spell he wants

Fueled by raw unrelenting audacity

Real lore tho- magic is created with belief and harnessed with confidence, you can either go the intellectual route and control every variable and have trust in your control of those variables to harness the magic like Harold, or like Duncan, have enough semi-unearned confidence in yourself to harness magic with little need for more than a few variables.

Basically as a general rule, it has as much meaning as you truthfully believe it does

Doesn't explain what hes casting or how hes doing it

"Where'd you learn how to do that?"

"what are you a cop?"

(learned from illustrations, word of mouth, and other witches on the street)

Has a couple stick n poke magical symbols, several other scribbled on symbols that are temporary

Biggest one is a glyph for fire on his hand, he doens most of his spells using it

Has burns around his glyph tattoos from spells backfiring cuz he got distracted

Uses sharpies, spraypaint, eyeliner and the insides of firecrackers for drawing symbols

If he needs a magical material he'll typically substitute whatever he has on him, belief goes a long way.

"Pure Holy Silver?... this earring looks silver enough

This doesn't work for potions cuz potions are only a little left to normal chemistry.

Has alot of talisman he wears

Carries extra ingredients on him ala accessories cuz fuck it it looks cool

Mains his spells with symbols, uses potions or material fuels if he cant make a good connection between what he wants and one of 10 symbols he remembers at any given time

Uses moonlight, bones, rocks, and personal artifacts as fuels

How duncan casts a spell

Draws glyph -> creates a mental connection between what the glyph means and what he wants to do (this is mostly subconscious with Duncan he doenst know what hes doing he just knows he does it well)-> activates glyph physically (ie hitting, tapping, lighting, punching, tracing with finger)

Example: draws fire glyph on Chris's camper -> wants to set it on fire but not the surrounding grass and trees -> smacks the side of the camper that has the glyph on it -> profit

Duncan, to Harold: You make magic math, i make magic my bitch

Bridgette - Alien

Aww she could be so cute

Surfer girl from planet nine

Owen - Plant Monster

This could visually look really cool

Big carnivorous plant

Izzy - Angel

kaleidoscope = biblically accurate form, cuz she "Looks like a kaleidoscope! Duh!"

Lindsay - Selkie

If you steal her coat ill fucking kill you

Sadie - Vampire

Ough thats cute

I'm Gonna make her pigtails batwings

Katie - Zombie

undead girlfriends

Sadie thinks Katie is so pretty it doesn't matter her eye just fell out

Courtney - Demon

Oh this bitch looooves contracts

Is also upset about Duncan but she just doesn't like witches in general

Whats the point of making deals with humans for magical powers of some humans give themselves magical powers

Demon of what?? Pride maybe?? Or envy??

Shes a sweetheart tho

How to Borrow a Bot

I'm not late to Noahvember. You're late to Noahvember. /j

Here's my one contribution for Day 7: Free Day

A Giant/Tiny AU! If you know me this should not come as a surprise to you. If you don't, welcome to my madness.

It's got Assistant Noah if you really squint at it, Alejandro in a robot suit, and Noah just being a little guy trying his best to live in a production lot.

Enjoy my 4.3K rambles I put under a read more so as to not flood your dash!

Noah is a Borrower. He's about the size of a mouse, which is pretty common for his kind. As are the pointed ears and the tail.

His kind tend to stay in small groups inside human-made structures. They don't let the larger folk know about them since. Well. They've seen how humans treat each other. Doesn't put much confidence in how they'd be treated.

To help with this, they would do maintenance on the houses they lived it. It was their house too, after all. Plus, when things went wrong, then maintenance people were called. They could open walls to find the source of the problem and instead find the evidence of Borrowers. If not Borrowers themselves.

It would be safer to hide themselves in the woods. However, that would open themselves up to attacks from the wildlife. A few groups try, and manage to make it work. But they are few and far in between.

Not Noah, though. He's trekking out on his own.

Not completely by choice, mind you. One of his older siblings had gotten sloppy with their 'borrowing'. (Noah had always thought borrowing was a stupid name for it. It was stealing. No amount of dressing it up would change it. It's not like any humans would even notice enough to care what they called themselves.)

Fortunately for them, the humans had thought it was just a rat problem. Unfortunately for them, when they were too smart for the rat traps the humans had called an exterminator. In the panic he'd gotten separated from the rest of his family.

So now, he was here. Living in the walls of a tv studio. You wouldn't think it'd be the best place to set up his home, but you'd be surprised.

The production lot he lived on was one that was used mainly for pilots thinking they were going to be the next big thing. With the rapid turnover of staff, actors, and producers, no one stayed long enough to notice when little things went missing.

There were plenty of rafters to run across with no one the wiser. The techies were usually more concerned with their screaming bosses than noticing movement out of the corner of their eyes.

Where he actually lived, the prop room, wasn't so bad either. He mainly stayed in the area where they dumped all the crap they were never actually going to use again, but still kept around 'just in case'. It left him perfect materials to steal from and craft with.

His favorite piece to take from was something they called the Drama Bot. It was something they'd used for some mindless talk show piece? It had been in another set, so he had. no clue. He just knew the thing was shut down and had enough wires and metal to make scrap from.

Though the part that made the set one of the objectively best places to be was one exclusive to sets alone: craft services.

Craft services were a godsend. Finger sandwiches, bite-sized brownies, etc. Most of the food was already in small portions for actors and set workers to eat on the go. It was all too easy to grab and take away. They even labelled ingredients for allergies.

You would think that the universe already hated him enough with making him small enough to be swatted at by a broom but no, it also had to give him life threatening allergies limiting his already small selection of food choices.

He just had to make sure he stole while they were filming. Which also meant a free show.

If only 'free' meant 'good'.

Most of the time he could tell when a show was going to be dead in the water. Whether it was from the way the actors and producers bickered when they thought no one was watching (the REAL show if anyone asked him), or if the script was just awful.

Noah wanted better entertainment, but books were his normal go to. The only books he could really find here were prop books, or scripts.

Particularly the scripts that found their way into the producer's room. There were always stacks from wannabe writers and so many of them were garbage. Those ones usually found their way into the garbage. They were good for when Noah wanted to laugh and tear something to shreds.

Though there was always the one script in there that really shouldn't be. Usually because of a producer's personal biases or it not being 'marketable' enough. And he'd also find scripts that made it to the table for further consideration that were utter garbage, but the kind of utter garbage that sold.

...If those two types of scripts had ever 'found themselves' switched, then no one else was really complaining about it. And they better not. They were hard they were to drag.

So all in all, life was pretty good. Things were chaotic, but in a routine way. One he could prepare and plan for. Important aspects for survival.

Then life decided to kick him in the shins with a pilot that actually took off.

This newest production was 'Total Drama Dirtbags'. It was reality TV, so far from the most intelligent thing. But it did involve assholes giving each other what they deserved by their sheer presence, so there was cathartic amusement to be had there. The formula must have worked for enough people because the concept was greenlit, and due to a shortage of production sets they decided to film it in this lot.

Most of the people living in 'the mansion' were vapid. They thought they were manipulative and outsmarting each other, when really it was just the clear script some writer had made working towards making sure certain storylines went through.

With one exception. One Alejandro Burromuerto.

He would come up with improv, except unlike the others attempts his were actually good. The host and producers would let him keep it in, despite him being a new face for as far as Noah could tell. He still kept up his act offset. Charming assistants just as much as his fellow contestants.

It was only when Alejandro was completely by himself that Noah saw the mask fully drop.

He'd expect Alejandro to just be a complete asshole like the others were when the cameras weren't rolling, but...no. He seemed more tired than anything else. He'd just scroll on his phone and put earphones in.

Noah dared to get close enough to see what Alejandro was doing. He wasn't sure why. It was incredibly stupid, as he could see how perceptive Alejandro could be. But...he was just curious. Even if he couldn't pinpoint why.

The reason why Alejandro read on his phone became clear with each time Noah checked. The Cask of Amontillado the first time, then a reality baking show, Tony Hawks, hell one time he saw the man watching an episode of Dinosaur Train.

It left Noah with so many questions. Given how Alejandro danced around others' questions, he doubted he would get any straight answer.

Not that he could even ask in the first place. Curiosity didn't make him suddenly stupid. He wasn't about to expose himself just because a mystery of a man showed up as one of the more interesting things in his short life.

It wasn't meant to be, anyways. Filming on set wrapped up quicker than Noah had realized it would.

They bothered to rent an actual mansion for the finale. No final day party or anything. No proper send off.

It was fine. Life goes on. Noah should have known better than to let himself get spoiled with an interesting enigma.

…He would have been as fine as he could be with it. If he wasn’t embroiled within a different enigma.

Someone came to take the drama bot away. Nearly caught Noah too, as he hadn't expected anyone to come that deep into the prop room. It wasn't completely unheard of for someone to need an old prop to repurpose into something else. But that hadn't quite explained the panic on the interns face as he came to remove it.

So there went another of Noah's sources of comfort. Sure, it was an unmoving hunk of metal, but it was still the closest thing to companionship that he was going to get.

A few days later, they brought the drama machine back. It looked different. Modified. Extra screws, polished metal. Small details others might have ignored. Glaringly obvious at Noah's size.

When the coast was clear, he approached the bucket of bolts. There might be something new to salvage if he could find a new way to dig in there.

Yellow and blue masks blinked to life as he got close. The thing started beeping loudly. Rolled away from him.

Reflected Noah's panic at this machine that was still powered on this time around. He was lucky his size meant his screams and scrambling backwards couldn't be picked up by anything other than this lumbering death machine.

Although the Drama Bot had no eyes to move, Noah had the distinct feeling he was being watched by this thing. He knew human technology was coming along fast, but he hadn't been expecting this.

The machine began to roll forward. Noah had no idea what kind of programming it had in mind for something like Noah, but he wasn't about to take any chances. He ran to the nearest hole in the wall and stayed there as he struggled to figure out what to do with the thing.

He could try to turn it off. It'd mean sneaking up on the thing. Failure of which would mean getting caught or crushed. He'd get the prop room back for himself.

Safer thing to do was leave it be. Accept the prop room as a lost cause and find somewhere else on the lot to live. Find somewhere that had more of a risk of being caught by human, but less of being rolled over by a robot.

There was a third option. This thing wasn't remote operated like Noah had assumed when he'd first seen it. It turned itself on because it saw Noah. Whether that's because it saw Noah as a rat or a human, he couldn't tell. Not without experimenting, which brought its own risks.

...He really hoped it didn't have any memories of him stealing pieces of it away for parts.

Noah poked his head out of his hiding hole. The bot was back where it had been left behind. Powered down once more. Good. He climbed up and out of sight. Based on its design, the thing couldn't tilt its head up. He'd be using that to his advantage.

He climbed onto one of the highest shelves he could manage. The more distance between him and the robot, the better. Only then did he strike up his nerve.

"Hey!"

The 'eyes' lit up again. The thing spun towards him, but as he suspected, didn't look up. It was making his way closer to his shelf.

Then...it stopped. Began to roll away from him. It didn't even turn around. It stopped a distance away from him. Now it'd be harder for his voice to carry through. It was a stupid choice on the robot's end, but it seemed very deliberate. The only thing backing up accomplished would be giving it distance...

Oh.

The robot was clever.

Noah couldn't quite pretend to be human anymore now that the thing could see him. Even if it was a much smaller version of him from a much wider field of view. Still, this had to work, or else he'd just put himself in danger for nothing.

"Blink once if you can understand me!" His voice was going to kill him tomorrow. At least he was rewarded with the robots masks flashing once.

"Good! You're not going to kill me or snitch, and I'm not going to take any parts out of you. Deal? One blink for yes, two for no."

Noah wouldn't be able to steal from it anyways now what it was active. He wasn't about to risk electrocution. But the robot didn't need to know that.

It blinked once.

Good. Noah was content for each of them to stay out of each other's way. He still grabbed his stuff and settled in for one of the higher shelves that the robot couldn't reach on his own. He wasn't about to completely trust the thing.

He could at least get space from it when he went to other parts of the studio.

That was a nice thought that lasted about a day or two until they pulled the Drama Bot out of the closet again.

He found it carrying loads of scripts for directors and TV hosts. Making coffee runs. Holding cue cards when the teleprompters were on the fritz. Used as a table. Occasionally fed some kind of slurry for god knows what.

The only difference between it and an intern was that an intern got paid with 'experience'. This robot's reward was getting shoved inside of a closet when it wasn't needed.

It was hard not to feel bad for the thing.

So fine, maybe he spoke to it when they were both in the prop room. He'd done it before the thing was kept online 24/7. There wasn't any reason to stop.

He'd talk about the gossip he'd overheard, the horrible scripts he read, and the rumors he'd heard about the bosses when the robot had a rough day. It was more satisfying when he could get a response this time around. Usually a series of beeps that Noah was sure was laughter.

When the thing got banged up after a day of being manhandled, Noah did his best with the smaller repairs. Couldn't have someone to talk shit with if it was going to break down due to an issue no one else bothered to fix.

He didn't do it for free, of course. If others were able to boss him around, Noah wasn't going to let that opportunity go to waste. Though he was nice enough to make most of his requests as simple as 'open the door for me'.

The Drama Bot would notice Noah around. It was a startling way to find out he wasn't as sneaky as he thought he was when the robot gave a small wave to crafts services when no one else was looking.

Being seen is a death sentence. Lesson number one is ingrained into a Borrower's head over and over again. It was the least desirable thing in the world.

So why did Noah feel more relaxed when he saw the Drama Bot acknowledge his existence outside of the prop room?

He hadn't realized how tense he always was until he had someone he could actually talk to. He'd been paranoid any time he had to pop out of walls. Now he was aware, but most of the fear left the second he saw the Drama Bot in the room with him, too. Maybe it was their mutual suffering from fate that put him at ease.

Noah was getting comfortable.

Too comfortable.

Comfortable enough to Borrow from craft services up until he heard the word 'cut', instead of in the middle of someone else's line.

Comfort that died as one of the actor's spotted his small form in the center of table and shrieked 'MOUSE!'

Everything became a flurry of movement. Noah running for the edge of the table. Humans running away from the table. Others towards. The fastest would be the one to determine his fate.

Squeaky wheels proved to be the victor as Noah was snatched up by a pair of pincers.

Noah had always taken great care not to get within grabbing distance of the Drama Bot, even when talking with it. The cold from its metal seeped into his clothes. He counteracted it with his instinctive thrashing around.

"KILL IT!" a human said, damning him.

"No, don't you dare-" he hissed to the robot. He knew it was futile. He'd seen this robot understand hierarchy of the set and Noah was nowhere on the map. He had to try.

The robot's grip tightened. Noah gasped for breath that was squeezed out of him, and began thrashing around. No care, no strategy. Just sheer panic at what he knew would come for him.

The robot's other arm pointed towards the door, and Noah could feel himself being moved. Great, he was going to be taken out back like a dog. He tried to reach for some kind of wiring, anything, but there was nothing except the rapidly approaching door. The robot barreled past others while holding Noah close to its icy plating.

Noah's squeaks of terror fell on deaf ears, or speakers, or whatever this thing had. There was just outside, and the back alley, and the dumpster, where-

Noah was set down on the lid. The robot was beeping rapidly, its eyes flickering quick enough to give someone a seizure. Noah clutched his ears and closed his eyes to this onslaught of stimulation after the harrowing experience of knowing his death was near. He just wanted this to be over quick.

Instead, he felt something carefully pat his head. He cracked an eye open to see one half of the bot's pincers. Moving up and down, oh so careful not to press down on Noah forcefully.

Was. Was this thing trying to comfort him?

The idea was enough to ground him into realizing that no, he had not been brought here to die. He'd been brought here for others to think he'd died.

"...Was there REALLY no way you could have warned me?!" he couldn't help but ask his savior.

The robot beeped in return.

From then on, any time he revealed he needed to go on a food run, the robot threw a fuss about making sure it went with him. It stationed itself right in front of craft services, blocking Noah from view while he took what he needed.

He'd be lying if he said he wasn't grateful. There was no way in hell it didn't have some form of sentience if it choose keeping Noah alive rather than follow orders. So he went as far as to thank the robot. It felt like the least he could do.

He was proven wrong when, as usual, the Drama Bot got screwed over by a job.

Ever since the Drama Bot became the resident butt monkey intern, any time there were extra props they didn't want anymore for a scene, they'd make the Drama Bot return them into the prop room to store.

The Drama Bot lift its arms as high as it wanted to, but it couldn't reach the higher shelves. So a lot of the props were instead placed on the lower ones. This made the shelves more bottom heavy than they should be. Which wouldn't be a problem if anyone else came in to redistribute the weight. But why do that when you could have a robot keep doing the work?

Noah saw the shelf collapse happen a mile away. He would always make sure that he wasn't standing on any shelves that the bot was actively working on. This saved Noah from a crushing death when the inevitable happened.

It did not save the Drama Bot that had things break even its hard shell, exposing wiring and something else that was harder to make out.

It was lucky enough that Noah saw it happen. Unfortunately, Noah couldn't exactly move things off to free the hunk of metal. They'd need a human for that, and all the humans were busy with filming. They wouldn't notice until they stopped for the day, and this robot was fritzing out.

The little meter went back and forth rapidly. It gave three short beeps, then three long ones, then three short, before devolving into one very long, loud beep in the hopes of getting someone's attention.

The thing was panicking, and Noah would be damned if he waited for the mercy of humans to stop it on its own accord.

He at least let the robot know that he was here. And that he'd get help. How he'd get help without getting caught was a mystery, but he would try.

He made his way back to the set. He needed an excuse for someone to go back to the prop room. Only way to do that was if a prop stopped working or went missing. Except they were filming, so all the props would be on set. Being watched with cameras. With humans moving about caring more about their lines than watching who they might be stepping on.

Easy peasy.

When he got back to set, he saw they were filming an action scene. Even more dangerous as movement was increased tenfold for those.

The plus side was that as it was an action scene, guns were involved. so long as one of those went missing, someone would have to go to the prop room for another.

Except, as to be expected, all the prop guns were already either with someone or in the scene. From what Noah could remember of reading this script, the protagonist's gun runs out of bullets, so he looks around to grab another.

The protagonist hadn't lost his gun yet, so there was still a chance for Noah to mess with that second gun.

It took pressing against the walls, scampering at just the right times to stay off camera, and the most stressful dragging in his life, but he managed to hide the gun away right as the protagonist went looking for it.

The director cut the scene in frustration and sent an intern to go get another prop gun. Noah held his breathe where he was hiding. Only letting go when the intern came rushing back screaming about the shelf collapse.

Due to his position with the hidden gun, Noah was forced to stay in position until they cut and he knew for sure the cameras were no longer rolling. He rushed his way back to the prop room, but they'd already mostly cleaned up the mess.

The Drama Bot was nowhere to be found.

They had to have taken it in for repairs somewhere. It had been looking rough. He hoped the repairs were only physical. He didn't want to think about what would happen if he lost the closest thing he had to a friend.

With luck, it would be back in a few days.

...Weeks. It was weeks without the Drama Bot. Noah cooped himself in the prop room more than ever before in the hopes of seeing the Drama Bot making a return. Nothing.

The only thing he got were rumors. Apparently the crew had seen something when they lifted all the crap off the poor robot. They were spooked. There was even something about lawsuits?

Noah didn't give a rat's ass about the gossip. He wanted his friend back.

It was two whole months of moping before something happened.

Someone came into the prop room. Noah heard footsteps but no wheels, so he just buried himself deep into his hiding hole. He wanted them gone so they could mope in peace.

The footsteps got closer. Great, they were going to re-use an old prop. His heart really needed an anxiety spike with them being closer than normal.

The spike became a stab in the heart as the footsteps stopped right in front of his hiding place.

"Little mouse? Are you in there?" The voice was quiet and raspy.

Noah's heart froze. They. They couldn't be referring to him. His worst nightmare couldn't be coming true, not as everything else had come crashing down around him.

The nightmare crouched down to reveal an emerald eye looking directly at Noah. Noah froze. There was nowhere to run. Hiding had done nothing. His brain was rapidly trying to figure out-

The human sighed in relief. "Thank god. I was worried you had been caught."

That was enough to give Noah pause. Because a random human, being worried? He acted as if he knew-

"Please come out," the human begged, "I have to know that you are real. I couldn't have just been driven mad inside of that robot suit."

That's when things clicked for Noah. There was only one robot he knew, and that robot had only gotten smarter when it had made its first return.

Noah dared to poke his head out to see Alejandro Burromuerto looking down at him.

It turned out that the season finale of Total Drama Dirtbags had resulted in a fire due to negligence. The rest of the cast had stuck true to their names and abandoned the burning building in an instant. Leaving Alejandro by himself, barely clinging onto life.

To avoid a lawsuit, the production company agreed to cover Alejandro's medical expenses. They just neglected to mention their version of 'medical expenses' was shoving a burned and battered body into a robot suit to allow him time to heal while still getting free labor out of him.

There was debate among executives about whether to actually bother letting him out of the suit given that no one else cared to come looking for him. Ironically enough, that falling shelf had saved him as it exposed parts of his body to multiple witnesses.

They had to let Alejandro out after that. The only reason he wasn't suing them to hell and back? He settled on a deal for an important acting job once he had PROPERLY healed.

"Why the fuck would you ever want to come back to work here?"

"It was the only way I could know for sure that I could come back to see you again. You kept me sane during everything. You saved my life. I could not abandon you."

...Oh. That was. That definitely made Noah feel something.

Alejandro had already signed a contract so he would be here for a while. And Noah had no reason to leave his home. Although it went against every shred of common sense.

They would just have to navigate this new friendship. Relationship? Situationship. As equals.

And each were more than happy to do that.

[real-total-drama-takes]

out of all the cast, i think alejandro, cody, trent and ezekiel have led the worst lives.

i mean…

alejandro:

> does his absolute best at everything because he’s expected to be perfect by his family

> gets harrassed and bullied by his older brother

> lost a million dollars due to a stupid decision he made to make fun of his opponent (he fucking made out with that wooden heather)

> was severely burnt and nearly died from lava

> was stuck in a robot suit for an ENTIRE YEAR which caused him to lose the ability to walk

trent:

> was force fed everyday when he was a child by his parents

> had a psychotic episode(?) aired on international tv

> said episode made everyone on the cast think he was insane and ruined both his relationships and his chance at the million

> was manipulated into kissing heather which ruined his relationship with gwen

> the relative he cared for the most died when he was still young which led to him developing a serious mental disorder

> was hurt so badly in some episodes that he just wouldn’t be allowed to compete

> had some very weird fans which did things that made him uncomfortable and TIED HIM TO A BUS (which later exploded)

cody:

> was neglected by his parents for his entire life

> was mauled by a bear (which he didn’t get medically evacuated for, his teammates just had to vote him off)

> was repeatedly harrassed/assaulted by someone for an entire season and nothing was done about it

> was emotionally manipulated and used by people he trusted on multiple occasions

> honestly he was just. really disrespected by a lot of the cast, not taken really seriously (despite proving to be a good player able to win challenges by himself and also being one of the morally better people in the cast)

> if we can count dramarama, people went out of their way to hurt him sometimes, and revealed that his parents would leave him in the daycare for long periods of time (in double oh beth he was supposed to stay in the daycare for the entirety of spring break and was given three lunches so he wouldn’t die), consistently forget about his existence and didn’t clean him right (fucking hose him down in the yard???)

ezekiel:

> raised into believing some really bigoted things which he would say out loud (which led to the whole cast hating him)

> turned into a feral beast after being forced to live in a plane’s cargo hold

> FELL INTO AN ACTIVE VOLCANO (somehow he survived?????)

> was treated so badly that he actually tried to kill everyone in all stars. what the fuck

these guys should’ve been taken by child services a while back or put into therapy or whatever. getting accepted onto total drama didn’t help their mental health at all

[that-dead-pixel-agere]

little duncan and cg alejandro headcanons? 🥺👉👈

ya!!!!!!!!!!

(pssst yappings r down below :3)

to me little duncan (or should i say tiny :>) regresses to around 1-3 years old. very smol and very whiny and needy. i think alejandro became his cg after the events of wt, and alejandro also has to deal with yknow, ggetting stufded into a robot and being crispy for a bit </3 , he still tries to overcome it and care for duncan the best he can

duncan really likes dinosaurs, he has tons of figures and toys for them, and will only watch tv shows and movies about dinosaurs :3 his fave movie is journey to the center of the earth (caus it has big dino....if i rememba correctly) alejandro will often play with him, and duncan loves to do a dino fight club, which is him and al smashing the dino figs together lol

alejandro is a good cook and baker too, and during duncans tiny birthday, he made a volcano cake with small fondent dinos all around, duncan adored it and then destoryed it (in his defense he did say that the cake was too delicious to not smash it) he also loves to make big blanket forts, and every year or so on halloween, he'll invite everyone who geos little and makes a massive blanket fort and watch scaryyyy horror movies (he puts on nightmare before christmas lol)

sometimes they'll go to the museum together to see the big dino models, and al has to stop duncan from touching them because he thinks he could ride them :)

das kinha all...sory its not much...im very tired and eepy :(.... i will make another post about my hc if i come up with mor

[duckduckhjonk]

emerging from my cave to bring you the final* installment of this before I get to writing the au!

now for the explanations! Ok so as you who have been following this know, I have struggled with what to have Leshawna's digimon partner be. After a long long time of debate and struggling I landed between either the Jazzamon line and the Kudamon line. I felt Kudamon worked a little better for her. I think they could get along. Probably have similar but also in some way opposite personalities.

OK HEAR ME OUT. You might be wondering, Tumblr user DuckDuckHjonk, why did you give Katie and Sadie both Dracomon evolution lines? HEAR ME OUT. I think it would be cute to see the two going "omg look our digimon match!!" But also, with this being a mix of an au and a rewrite, I'm giving these two a much more in depth storyline and I feel these two fit that storyline well enough.

I really liked Floramon for Justin, and also Ceresmon, very plant and very like- beauty based I suppose. I think it would be interesting in action he sees his once-beautiful Floramon becoming Kiwimon and Delumon often, he'd fear his digimon is losing the beauty he is also losing. It would make for an interesting conflict.

Noah's line was tricky. I had to build around both Phascomon and Kumbhiramon because I felt both worked really well for him. I actually think he wouldn't get Hypogryphomon used very often because I have a really cool idea involving some jogress evolutions involving him.(No spoilers hehehehehe)

For Ezekiel it was really hard to build around him given how little screentime he had. While I do want to include him in action, I do think he'd still end up an early boot there regardless as I have some really good ideas for the feral zeke(As you could probably tell by the inclusion of Mad Leomon and its final form)

Sierra is getting the Marin Angemon treatment... Had to be done, no way around it. It worked so well. But I like it. She's unreasonably strong, it could be so fun to see them working as being unreasonably strong together. I did include Cythillamon just in case I end up using it. It might end up as like a if she gets pissed off it'll slide evolve to that/I needed something interesting for Marin Angemon to do.

For Alejandro I went with a basic Coronamon line. Probably a little basic?? Probably not my best pick, but I really liked the thought of him having a cute/very cool looking digimon only for it to turn around and be Apollomon Whispered later down the line. Another one who I have a really good idea but this time with the whole thing of being burnt alive by the volcano and having a different angle for the robot thing.

Again I don't have a partner for Izzy, but!!! Fret not!!! I have a plan!!!!! I think she stands out far too much to be encompassed in one singular digimon partner. You'll see :3

as for Chris and Chef and Blainley, they get theirs too, but I'll reveal those as well in the fic itself :3

bwaahh I'm sorry for the formatting sucking with the images this time.

anyhow! Hope you've enjoyed! I'll start working on the fic soon :3

[cloudyskiiees]

alright it’s finally time to drop a super long in depth post about my idea for a total drama: all stars rewrite. :3

heroes: noah, mike, zoey, courtney, owen, dawn, brick

villains: alejandro, heather, gwen, duncan, jo, scott, anne maria

rest under the cut bc it’s a massive post LOL!

Show changes:

-Robot suit was a gag. Alejandro was definitely injured a bit after season three but the studio played it up way worse than it was. he got proper care after the season and agreed to the suit idea to be able to stay away from his family.

-Since it’s the 5th season the producers needed something new, so they made the island appear like it was mutated and such. they did a similar thing in season 4, but it’s way worse now. most of the mutants and such are actually just cgi or actors!

-that being said, a lot of the season is more scripted. this is partly because reality tv is really never honest and also a lot of the plots in the show simply don’t make sense, but would for the idea of views.

-Chris has a heart. not a big one, but it’s there.

Why characters were brought back for the season, with genuine thought behind it!

noah- fans were upset about his unfair elimination in world tour, was already a fan favorite before hand due to his snarky attitude and witty remarks.

mike- mike and zoey is one of the sweetest relationships in the show! his DID is different and makes for good ratings too, very much a popular “boy-next-door” people seem to like.

zoey- a strong player who was very popular within the female audience. lots of potential drama chris wants to use with other contestants such as mike and anne maria.

courtney- crazy good competitor for ratings. also, love triangle!

owen- fan favorite and always has been! he’s really there to be a silly guy.

dawn- her slightly unfair elimination brings a lot of drama with her, as well as being an interesting competitor too.

brick- surprisingly good at challenges, a good obstacle in the way for jo. chris enjoys embarrassing him as well.

alejandro- hello… season three villian? charming and ruthless, ofc he’s here. he was destroyed at the end of his season and chris is praying he’ll attempt to take revenge.

heather- kinda there for the giggles tbh. no one takes her seriously anymore, chris is curious how she’ll play now, especially seeing as she’s already won before.

gwen- love triangle, duh

duncan- love triangle, duh

jo- the planned villian of the season. very bossy and was a strong player in revenge, this is her second chance.

scott- mostly brought back for fang content as well as a hopeful rivalry with dawn. he’s just the right amount of stupid for reality tv according to chris.

anne maria- she’s so YYASSS here for slay factor and to drive a wedge between mike and zoey (backfires)! (as well as she was eliminated a bit unfairly)

scripted plots in the show:

-the love triangle. of course the love triangle is scripted. some of the feelings are real and based on similar events, but it’s stretched very far.

-an alejandro and noah rivalry. chris puts them up to it after the first episode, seeing as fans are dying for one. noah truly doesn’t care enough to have one for real, but likes the money, so he agrees to fake it. alejandro is very confused and a little irritated, but agrees as well.

-mal attempting to be a villian. when chris learns of mal he tells mike to try and play that up, even when mal isn’t fronting. mike is like “um. k” and mal is more or less an edgy teenager who thinks people are scared of him. definitely backfires on chris.

actual plots that happen naturally:

-noah and alejandro romance. it looks great on the show, the enemies to “best friends” troupe, but behind the cameras they go from indifferent to kinda into each other, being forced to spend so much time together.

-dawn and scott rivalry. chris was overjoyed when scott boasting to dawn and overall being a jackass finally got her to snap and declare she’d take him down.

-anne maria and zoey friendship! chris attempted to push them into fighting like they had the previous season, but the two ended up actually getting to know each other and getting over their old grievances!

now for all the episodes, what happens, and who is eliminated:

Episode 1:

each team must pick one competitor to ride in a baby carriage and be pushed around by the others. the others have to take turns diving into a lake and picking up different keys to race their “baby” to try and unlock the big house, versus the small cabin where the losers have to sleep:

heroes baby: noah

villains baby: anne maria

eliminated: duncan does not Give a Fuck. he’s actively trying to fail the entire challenge, so he obviously gets sent home when they lose!

Episode Two:

challenge: each team must search their half of the beach for seven different pieces of their statue they were assigned to piece together.

eliminated: owen was just so damn clumsy. he kept dropping the pieces or messing up the statue. when the heroes lost, it was sad but undeniable who had to go.

Episode Three:

challenge: teams must each take a paintball gun and attempt to take out as many of the opposing team members as possible.

eliminated: heather gets a little power crazy, and ends up hitting more of her team than the other when trying to snipe gwen. with her taking out the most players, her team has no choice but to send her home.

team swap!: anne maria protected zoey from a shot because she was concerned of her hair (she had let anne maria do it up in different way with her hairspray), while noah dove to hide behind brick when he thought he’d get hit. the two trade teams, anne maria is now a hero, and noah is a villian!

Episode Four:

challenge: a pancake eating competition plus a terrible obstacle course where contestants aren’t allowed to throw up. they must run the course until the pancake is gone, they have a minute every time they try to chow down.

eliminated: mike unfortunately gets the boot here. when the heroes lose, they all agree “mal” is just really Fucking Annoying and is a hindrance to the team. mike is kinda disappointed, but understands!

Episode Five:

challenge: with the “blue harvest moon” in effect, making all creatures and animals alike act their opposite, the teams must run a path along the side of the island and be the first to cross the finish line with everyone intact.

team swap (no elimination): courtney was voted out to go home, but chris makes a change to the teams and makes her a villian instead. no one goes home, although the heroes lost.

Episode Six:

challenge: the two teams must split up on boney island to collect as many mutant monster eggs as they can find. the first team to bring back seven unharmed eggs to their nest win.

eliminated: noah is sent to be voted off, when alejandro gives up an immunity idol he found in favor of him being saved. gwen is booted instead, having the second most votes as both boys predicted the outcome.

Episode Seven:

challenge: members from each team must take turns spinning a wheel, that will conveniently land on their worst fear, which they must then fight in a fight similar to a boxing match.

eliminated: scott could just not stand up to fang, and drops out due to medical injuries. nothing too serious, but chris didn’t see a problem with letting him go as he was set up to go home soon anyways.

Episode Eight:

challenge: with the teams now merged, its every contestant for themself. each player must take a boat across the island, and be the first player to cross the finish line, all the while dodging the obstacles chris has in place.

immunity: jo

eliminated: anne maria didn’t make it too far, even with the help from zoey, dawn, and brick. the villains never liked her too much anyways, and the heroes knew she held them back. it was an easy vote, and she took it with surprising grace (in front of the cameras at least)

Episode Nine:

challenge: chris is kidnapped by zeke, apparently. the kids are all sent down into shifty mines by chef, ordered to find chris and bring him back unharmed, as well as to stop zeke.

immunity: noah (given to alejandro)

eliminated: noah goes out with a bang, and by that i mean he quits. alejandro and him help save chris, and noah demands he allow him to leave the show and null any and all current and future contracts he has on him because he just saved his life. chris agrees, not that he has much choice.

Episode Ten:

challenge: another obstacle course… yay. this one being much more deadly, mocking chefs boot camp from season one. each remaining player must strap a heavy pack on their back, told a penalty will be received if they remove it at any point. first to cross the finish line wins.

immunity: jo

eliminated: courtney is voted off in a mutual agreement of the others. she’s too strong of a player, and too goddamn annoying, especially with gwen gone. it was an easy choice, though courtney was not very happy about it.

Episode Eleven:

challenge: the last contestants are forced to run around the island making ice cream sundaes for chris’ interns to eat. when they return, they’re forced to eat their own bowls instead!

immunity: dawn

eliminated: jo prioritizes speed over accuracy, and pays the price for it. she attempts to scarf down the mess of dirt she has in her bowl, but fails. with a lack of immunity, alejandro agrees with the three heroes to vote her off.

Episode Twelve:

challenge: the final four are each given a treasure to hunt down and retrieve around the island somewhere. the first to make it back with their item intact wins a straight shot to the finale, while the last person is immediately voted off. the winner also gets to choose who they take to the finale.

immunity: zoey

eliminated: brick unfortunately loses and does not retrieve his treasure in time, eliminating him immediately. zoey chooses to take dawn to the finale with her, saying she “always did want a friendship finale!” alejandro understands the sentiment, and is eliminated.

Episode Thirteen:

finalists: dawn and zoey

challenge: players are forced to face each other in a race to climb a moat of several layers, each one having a new challenge to face. they each get to pick two previous contestants to help them!

zoey’s helpers: gwen and mike

dawn’s helpers: brick and alejandro

eliminated: at the end, both girls are required to pull a sword out of a stone, the first to do so wins the show. dawn trips near the sword and zoey darts past her, pulling out the sword and immediately dropping it to help dawn up.

winner: ZOEY!

i wrote this a couple months back and thought it would be fun to share… i also imagine some gwourtney going on behind the scenes of the show but it would be hard to implicate due to chris having them scripted to fight all the time, even with duncan eliminated immediately.

anyways i hope you all enjoyed this LOL i cannot ever get my brain to stop thinking about tdi :3

Ramblings about my Sierra and just kinda world tour overall rewrite (but it's mostly Sierra). Buckle in, it's a long one.

So Sierra has always had a hard time connecting with people, she's never really knows why but it's been like this her entire life. Her mom always focused more on her Chris obsession than Sierra and her dad was never around so she grew self-sufficient early on. She also got into reality TV really early too (big brother. Survivor, project runway, ect.) I think her mom had her watch an old Chris show and it snowballed from there. She's been online for along as she could remember, bouncing around Fandoms until total drama. With total drama she became totally obsessed, doing what she already did in Canon (except the stalking). She managed to become friends with izzy early and she gave her content for her blog and she also managed to interview cody a couple times.

When she got on world tour she was so excited and she was even more excited when izzy switched her teams, Heather, Courtney, and Gwen were her favorite contestants and she already felt like she was friends with Cody. When it comes to the other contestants I think she got along with team victory, Owen, and Izzy for the most part (DJ, Bridget, and Leshawna were put off by her but friendly)<- same with Gwen and Cody till a certain point. She didn't really enteract with Tyler or Zeke, but Courtney, Noah (both like Cody, till a certain point) and Duncan where more hostile. Heather was complicated but I'll go into that in a different post, and she saw through Alejandro from moment one and was more proactive about it than she was in Canon but also they get to a point where they understand and empathize with eachother.

Going into some of them more, her and Harold had a short and sweet friendship (they play dnd together post-canon), she bonds with Lindsay through fashion (all those years of project runway came in handy) she takes Sierra shopping sometimes post-canon and wears anything Sierra makes her. She has what was mostly one-sided beef with Noah because of how elusive he was between seasons (he didn't tell izzy shit) but then Noah decided to be snarky asshole and crossed the line with her a good couple times while she doesn't fight back cuz she never fights back. When he comes back tho they and Heather form an anti-alejando alliance and their relationship gradually gets better. Courtney's Courtney but after paris she softens a little (instead of a breakdown surrounding Cody it's surrounding team amazon seeing her as a tool more than anything after pretending to be her friends) but they're not good until Greece, Sierra was there to listen to her more than anyone else and didn't put her game infront so by the final 4 court is rooting for her or alejandro. Finally Cody had major issues communicating boundaries and found Sierra as a nessecary annoyance until Paris where they (and heather) had an actual discussion about it, him and Sierra then got closer and closer each episode until London, when Noah crosses the line for a final time and Cody snaps at him, that's when him and Sierra become best friends. She managed to bargain with the crew to get her knitting stuff and made Cody a sweater for his birthday, he ends up getting eliminated in rapa nui so she gives it to him with the promise he won't open it till the next episode.

Everything else plays out like it does in cannon more-or-less, Noah instead of Cody, more humanizing alejandro stuff, heatherra, ect. (Also no more robot) her and alejandro are recovery buddies and also start a podcast after.

So yea this was long and mostly about dynamics more than anything but this has been rattleling around in my head for a while now

I think there's an often-overlooked ironic detail in Alejandro's character arc. In his final debut, Alejandro is almost all alone, he has no one else besides Heather. While Heather isn’t best friends with every other contestant, she’s certainly on better terms with a few of them like Cody and Sierra (which is leagues better than her position in Action). You see, Heather probably can’t make a lot of friends since her bold and brash personality could be a turnoff for most, as shown in Island. But Alejandro could make friends. We’ve seen it in World Tour, nearly everyone flocked to him as if he was this noble figure, a single ray of sunshine in the absolute shitstorm that is Total Drama. But he squandered that. He manipulated everyone that liked and/or trusted him. Alejandro became the conniving villain while Heather became the anti-hero, and everyone cheered when he was defeated. He lost the million, got burned by the volcano, and was put in a robot suit. Every possible friend or companion he could have made became untrusting of him after his true colors were revealed. Alejandro came in with a hopeful future filled with success and popularity, and in the end he lost almost everybody.

Continuing my rewritten things For Total Drama All Stars, now we have episode two!

Previous episode:

1. Heroes Vs Villains

Episode 2: Evil Dread

Recap:

Chris: “ last times on total drama, I welcomed the all stars to the newly decontaminated island. Then it was heroes versus villains. Driving into short infested water in search of the one key that would open unlock the door to the all new McLean spa hotel for winners only. Thanks to Scott’s cowardly fear we learned that inside of every robot it’s the heart of a Spaniard, in this case, Alejandro. And while Alejandro might not hold the key to Heather‘s heart anymore, he did hold the key to the spa hotel, and victory for the villainous vultures. Hamsters. And the heroic hamsters bid farewell to Lindsay, Via Our newest and most humiliating commode of transportation the flush of Shame who will be next to pop through the pooper? Find out right now on total. Drama. All stars.”

————————————————————————————————————

Heroic Hamsters in the loser cabin:

Chester: “ there’s a storm coming!”

Stevlanna: “ I’m scared after all these years he’s going to return”

Vito: “ eyo, how are we gonna stop the Goomba?.”

Manitoba: ” hush, it mates, Mike is waking up” * Mike wakes up*

Mike: “huh? What’s that? You guys say something?” * Cameron snores, Sam sleeps peacefully as a mosquito drains his blood while Eric ‘shifts’ in his sleep. Mike shrugs then goes back to sleep.*

Eric’s Confessional: “ OK so I knew Mike had multiple personality sooner, but I didn’t thought it. Was this bad, his personality, talk in his sleep. I’m lucky I barely got any sleep last night besides, the bed are like rocks they were bit more in season one if I remember correctly. Maybe it’s nostalgia but damn my back hurts and also I think Lindsay a smart move being voted out yesterday, I actually doubt she is bad at pushing cards for crying out loud. She shops for a living and in season two she actually pulled Owen, Justin and Beth in the prison challenge by herself. Maybe Lindsey realized that $1 million wasn’t worth it and decided to leave huh?”

————————————————————————————————————

Villainous Vultures in the spa hotel:

Daniel: “*walking towards the masseuse* holy moly that was the best sleep. I’ve had in years this beds are even comfier than the beds back home I like winning.” *sees Heather waiting for the masseuse to finish with Alejandro* “ oh, sorry, am I interrupting a romantic moment between the two of you”

Heather: “ what!? no I just want Alejandro to stop hugging the masseuse!” * she was clearly blushing*

Alejandro: “*sigh* i’m sure her hands are magical, if only I could feel them”

Heather: “ seriously your legs are still asleep”

Alejandro: “ I don’t know if they’ll ever wake up, I was squashed into that robots suit for an entire year, which you would’ve known if you ever texted”

Heather : “ it’s not like you ever texted me”

Daniel: “ oh, yeah, you do definitely still have feelings for each other!” *laughs*

Heather : “ shut up Daniel! And are you getting your eyebrows waxed? *Alejandro Nods* wow”

Daniel: “that’s… uh cool?”

Alejandro: “ They call it manscaping because it is very manly and I didn’t text you because I was trapped in a robot suit”

Heather: “ugh what ever” * she rips off the wax from Alejandro’s eyebrow*

Daniel’s confessional: “ OK I really don’t see what Bryan used to see in Heather, It's like her she is so full of herself. And I also don’t get what Eric used to see in Alejandro. my brothers all have weird taste in people even Carlos and he’s one of the most neutral guy I’ve ever met, but the girl he likes is a complete rageholic. But I do need allies if I want to make it far Scott, lightning and Jo aren’t ideal, because they know how I play, besides, I wouldn’t trust Scott as far as I could throw him and that’s really far. Lightning is a self obsess jerk and Jo well if Cameron was able to double cross her and she didn’t see that coming, then she is not a good alliance member. *sighs* I guess is either Duncan, Heather, Alejandro, or Gwen. Heather and Alejandro are as manipulative as they come and Duncan doesn’t seem like the type of guy who would do alliances so time to buddy up with the weird goth girl. Have to make sure that she doesn’t kiss me that wouldn’t look favorable for me considering my girl from back home”

*everyone coughs*

Jo: “ gross I didn’t know Chris allowed Poofhead to return?”

Daniel: “*spraying his head* what did you say about my girl?”

Jo: “ of course only a dumb guy who gets with poofhead would do what she wants”

Daniel: “ and that’s coming from the girl who could easily be mistaken for a guy”

Jo: “What?! Only lightning thought I was a Guy!”

Daniel: “ no at first glance most people thought you were a guy. The only reason no one thought you were a guy was because you were sleeping in the girls cabin, and you actually do have the boobs. I happen to know that your name is Josephine” *jo looked mortified*

Jo’s confessional: “how on earth did brattniel, that my name is Josephine?!”

Daniel’s confessional: “ no I didn’t know her name until now the look she had on her face actually told me all I needed to know *laughs*”

————————————————————————————————————

Zoey: “ we should divide our area into section and each day in one”

Courtney: “ no let’s separate the beach into quadrants each pick a quadrant”

Cameron: “ that’s exactly what Zoey said”

Courtney : “ then good we use the plan that Zoey and I came up with”

Eric : “ you mean the plan that only Zoey came up with? Just because you worded better doesn’t mean it’s your plan.”

Courtney : “ but I still came up with it”

Zoey: “ the more we bicker the more the villains are going to take the lead. Go team.”

Everyone but Courtney: “ go team”

Courtney : “*grumbles* yeah yeah yeah yeah can we start digging now?”

Courtney’s confessional: “ what’s with the loving? Hello, it’s called total drama not total friendship friendship,”

Eric‘s confessional: “ Courtney may be a smart player, but if she doesn’t start acting like a team player, then maybe she should be the next one taking the flush of shame, we are called the heroic hamsters, not the villainous , hamsters”

————————————————————————————————————

Jo: “ strategy, people, strategy. We should start at one end dig to the other in a straight line”

Heather: “ and what if the pieces are in the far end, huh? We need two lines that push in towards the center. Right guys”

Lightning: “ ain’t nobody telling lightning where to dig I am my own man”

Daniel : “ what about we steal the hamsters idea of dividing the beach into quadrants and each selects quadrant. And since we are seven, we are bound to find a pieces faster than the hamsters.”

Heather and Jo: “ you shut up nobody asked for your opinion”

Daniel : “ old Heather and Miss sweatpants just told me to shut up fine, *walk away angrily grumbling*”

Daniel ‘s confessional: “ when the team is filled with people who are used to having their own ideas and leading each of their teams, nobody listens to anyone and I don’t wanna go to the loser cabin, so those two better put their head in the game and stop fighting for control of the team that’s gonna be their downfall”

————————————————————————————————————

Eric: “Sam you need help?”

Sam: “* struggling* no no I go it, no need to worry “

Eric: “okay. *walks to another quadrant *”

————————————————————————————————————

Heather: “ fine we’ll work in a circular motion towards the center”

Jo: “no! Start with the corners then move to the center in zig zag “

Gwen: “*sighs* some team”

Heather: “exactly, a team without a leader is like a horse without a head, it just runs around blind”

Gwen: “I’m pretty sure a horse without a head doesn’t run anywhere “

Daniel “*laughs digging* are you confusing horses with chickens now?”

Jo: “Right? Which is why I should be this team’s leader!”

Heather: “ no I should!”

Daniel: “ a leader doesn’t impose himself he leads without forcing people to follow his lead but you girls do what you think is best”

Jo: “let’s let the team decide!”

Heather: “fine! *walks to one side* Lightning “

Jo: “ *walks the o the way calling Scott like a dog* come here Scott, Scott”

Daniel: “one of those girls would be our down fall”

Gwen: “ugh I give up!*trips and falls in front of Alejandro*

Alejandro: “ I hope you know that I appreciate your efforts, you are as wise as your skin is translucent”

Daniel’s Confessional: “Wow that guy is smooth like butter… I guess having all the villains in one team plus The gothball punk kisser in one team was definitely a bad Idea”

Gwen’s confessional: “I know he is evil but…. Oof those eyes”

Lightning’s Confessional: *continues to vomit*

————————————————————————————————————

Jo: “attention team! I am your leader!”

Heather: “No, I am your leader! *sticks the Shovel on the ground and hits piece * I found a piece!”

Daniel: “great now we find 6 more the same way *rolls his eyes with a smirk as Heather lift her piece and Jo goes to fight her for it*”

Jo: “you’d never have found it without me *Heather drops it on Jo’s foot* aaaaaaah!”

Heather: “oops sorry *jo pushes her down the moat*”

Daniel: “*laughs more* best team reunion Ever *walks away to keep digging*”

Chris: “two booby traps! Two puzzle pieces and two deliciously evil moats, it’s still anyone’s game but it won’t be for long right here! On Total! drama! all stars!”

————————————————————————————————————

Chris: “an hour has passed and the teams are still tied one all. *whispering* which raises a pertinent question *now he raises voice* what is taking so long!”

Sierra :”we don’t have shovels!” Sam: “I have sands on my shorts!” Eric: “Don’t rush me!” Jo: “Ah hush! Lightning: “I’m amazing!” Daniel: “You do it then!”

Chris: “Blah blah blah, whine, whine! hurry up! I have dinner plans!”

————————————————————————————————————

Eric: “Nothing on my quadrant! *steps on a trap and gets cover in itching powder*is this… ITCHING POWDER! *yells and starts scratching like crazy* This is so Wrong! *runs towards the ocean to try and clean the itching power off*

Daniel: “*laughs* oh my! That’s hilarious!”

Scott: “Wow, not cool! *glares at Daniel*”

Daniel: “Come on Scott, That’s a hero in pain better him than us right?”

Scott: “Yeah, better them but not Eric!”

Daniel: “Eric is my brother, is my job to laugh at his misfortune besides he looks like a dog trying to sratch himself!”

Scott “*punches him in the faces and makes him bleed a bit,*”

Daniel’s confessional: “*clutching his nose* what is wrong with Scott? Last year he and my brother were at eachothers throat because Eric had threatened Him he would get him eliminated if he kept throwing the rats Challenges and now he is defending him. Does…, he likes Eric? Ew no, that’d be gross, no dirt boy is good enough for my older brother, I prefer him to date Alejandro again instead of going with Scott”

Scott’s confessional: “I’m not attracted to Eric, he just kept it a secret that I threw my teams challenges, so I do owe him one. Hector is a nice guys but he is not a snitch… and kind of cute…. Did I just said that ?! I meant for a guys he is cute… I’m going to stop talking now…”

Eric’s confessional: “*still scratching* did I see correctly? Did Scott punches Danny for laughing at me? Huh he might have a heart under neath his, musty, dirt stained, fit m good looking…. Wait what was I saying again?”

Sierra's confessional: "holy Cody! Did you see that? Scott defending Eric? Those two have the same tension as Heather and Alejandro had I'm season 3. I totally Ship Scoric... Or Erott... Huh I don't know which one sounds better?"

————————————————————————————————————

Heather: “come on people put this thing together already!”

Daniel: “*clutching. His nose with one hand* it’d be faster if you actually helped!”

Alejandro: “try those two together! No those two!”

Lightning: “Lightning finds the final piece I’m a hero!it’s probably a statue of me! being me!”

Daniel’s confessional: “okay, I see that Old Heather and Alehandjerk are only good for giving orders and not actually being team players.”

Gwen: “it’s tall whatever it is and boxy… like a tower… oh Big Ben!”

————————————————————————————————————

Zoey: “one piece to go, it has to be in Sam’s Quadrant”

Sam: “sorry guys I’m moving as Fast as I can”

Cameron: “all we need it the torch, Hurry!”

Eric: “alright! I’ll be useful and get that torch!”

————————————————————————————————————

Heather: “what’s with the big hole?”

Gwen: "you believe I'm not doing it on purpose?"

Daniel: "of course! Even if Courtney did deserve that I know you aren't evil to do that sort of thing"

Gwen: "thank Daniel!"

Saving Private Leechball

[trashyocstash]

updated design for machine(i liked that design of him in the leather jacket so much i decided to incorporate it in his main look. a profile for him is also under the cut.

"The Machine"

Real Name: Alejandro Ferro 

Age: 32 years old

Birthday: June 2nd 1947

Occupation: Soldier

From: Nicaragua, but raised on Xoari(home planet of the aliens that kidnapped him, the khirens)

Family: Eduardo Ferro(father), Sofía Ferro(mother), unnamed siblings born since he was kidnapped 

Friends: Mark, Vivian 

Love Interest: Julie

Hobbies and Interests: Mechanics, video games, listening to music, movies, TV shows 

Likes: Repairing things, Earth's technology(it's primitive but he's okay with that), learning about Earth, having friends, movies and TV in general(he just likes absorbing Earth media and doesn't have particular preferences)

Dislikes: Not knowing much about Earth or his real family, being shunned and alone, the khiren, rain

Rick's new version, he's a cyborg. Kidnapped as a baby by aliens from his home in rural Nicaragua(can't go anywhere urban, the aliens would be easily spotted), he grew up being used as an experiment, said experimentation planned to use him as a living weapon, hence his appearance. Once he discovered where he's from, he fled to Earth and hid as a recluse ever since. Only recently has he had friends and been shown love and kindness.

Personality

Having been only valued for his strength, Machine believes the love and approval of others is conditional, and that the only way he can have both is by being strong. He tries to win Julie's affections through displays of strength, and while she's impressed, it's not making her love him, and he doesn't understand why. He thinks he's doing something wrong, and he berates himself for it. Machine only understands that he doesn't need to be strong, when he does a kind act for Julie(undecided yet), and realises that kindness is part of love. It helps him realise how awful his upbringing was.

He's lived his whole life defined by the name "Machine" and being a super soldier, and when he comes to Earth, basically has an identity crisis. He was someone else on Earth once, but he doesn't know his real name, where he's truly from and he's disconnected from his humanity, not knowing what it means to be human. Since he's not a super soldier anymore, he's not sure what a "normal human life" looks like, but he tries to learn. It's awkward, silly and he unintentionally does illegal things like theft(he stole the clothes he wears because he doesn't know what currency is), but he's doing his best. Being friends with Julie, Mark and Vivian, and his romantic feelings for Julie, help him to connect with his humanity. Initially he thinks his robotic parts are bad, he rejects them because he feels they disconnect him from his humanity, but learns to accept them and that they don't make him any less human. 

He has a kind heart despite it all, and is protective and caring of others. Machine has a strong sense of justice, and after fighting his whole life for a cause he was oblivious to, he makes sure he knows exactly why he's fighting. Having not been raised on Earth, he's also naive and oblivious to things on Earth, and does not understand things like social cues and phrases. 

Despite his naivete and awkwardness, Machine is not someone to be messed with, and when angered, becomes very fierce, and will not hesitate to unleash the full extent of his strength and powers.

Background

Machine was born in a rural village in Nicaragua in 1947. He spent little time with his parents before the khirens raided his village and kidnapped him, with the intention of raising him to be a super soldier for their army.

Machine's life being raised as a super soldier was filled with abuse and general hardship. Only his fighting skills were valued and his flesh would be replaced and fused with robotic parts when he failed. His own wants and needs were never important. He never knew love, compassion or kindness, at least anything unconditional, and was a loner, not really interacting much with the other super soldiers as he wasn't a social type, and friendships weren't encouraged. The super soldiers in general were different species, all with their own needs, and Machine dealt with his human needs and what he can eat not being fully understood, and once they were understood to a degree, he was made to just have the bare minimum so he could survive. His robotic parts even had the effect of making him more resilient, so he didn't need to meet the exact same needs as other humans(such as not needing as many hours of sleep). He was also known by just a series of numbers, “Machine” is something he named himself.

He was often made to fight the other soldiers to train his skills and become stronger, and longed for the approval of his superiors so he wouldn't be seen as weak. Thanks to his training, he eventually became one of their strongest soldiers. Machine was sent out into battles, never knowing the extent to the conflicts he was participating in and his humanity shining through in his refusal to harm innocents. 

His life changes when he discovers that he was taken from his parents as a baby, and that he comes from Earth. This motivates him to leave and find where he belongs, but because he's just one of many soldiers, it's not noticed or cared about that he's gone. Machine makes his way to Earth, but discovers how different he looks from other humans with his cyborg appearance, and he hides away in his ship while other humans treat him as an urban legend and come looking for him.

Then Julie comes around and is the first person to treat Machine as an actual person, not a soldier, not a weapon, not an urban legend, but another person just like her. Thanks to her, he also meets Mark and Vivian and all three of them help him integrate with Earth and his humanity. All the while, Machine slowly falls in love with Julie. Being on Earth away from life as a super soldier has also allowed Machine to really explore himself send what he likes and dislikes.

Abilities

Spider-like appendages: From his back, Machine can bring out these, and they can be used as both weapons and to attach and climb onto things.

Laser Eye: Machine's robotic eye can shoot lasers.

Scanning: His robotic eye can also scan things.

Flight

Enhanced Strength

Enhanced Speed

Enhanced Stamina

Agility

Skills

Mechanical Knowledge: As a cyborg, Machine has had to understand his robotic parts. If need be, he can easily fix them. He's recently found that he likes mechanics in general and has taken to repairing other things.

Fighting Skills: Being raised as a weapon and super soldier, Machine is very skilled at fighting.

Flight Skills: Machine can easily fly around in spaceships.

Other Things

His surname “Ferro” is a Spanish and Italian surname that was chosen because it means iron(to connect with Machine's whole cyborg thing). The name is derived from a person who worked with iron in general.

His real name, Alejandro, is the Spanish version of “Alexander”, meaning “defending men”.

Ideas

Pyri wants to use Machine as a weapon, so when he arrives on Embara, she plans to turn him against humanity so he will conquer Earth with her. But it doesn't work, he has become attached during his time on Earth and additionally has Julie, Mark and Vivian. She tries to turn him against them, but he doesn't fall for it, she tries to kill them and he protects them. Pyri decides that Machine has to be controlled, so a device is placed on him that makes him under her control. With this, she tries to get him to kill Julie, Mark and Vivian but Julie gets through to Machine and destroys the device, freeing him. When he had fought them too, he was restrained, because the real him was still in there and would never want to kill them. When Pyri sees she can't control him, she turns against him, leading to the final fight between Pyri and Machine.

During his time on Embara, Machine also learns of the khiren's ideals of conquest, and that they, and by extension he, were fighting against the fyralogins to defeat them and take over. He is horrified by this, and feels immense guilt, but Julie, Mark and Vivian, while shocked, don't hold it against him. He was kidnapped as a baby, and grew up being forced to be a weapon and soldier for the khirens, ignorant of their intentions, he never had any agency, any choice. This helps Machine and is an influencing factor in defeating Pyri, besides the obvious. When faced with the option to kill her, he doesn't. Machine wants to end the cycle of violence and believes killing her would achieve nothing. Instead Pyri is left to rot in jail while her heir takes over and agrees to end the empire once and for all. Machine also assists said heir in learning about the khiren and their technology to take them down for good.

When Machine finds his family again, he is told his real name: Alejandro Ferro. This finally cements his arc of finding his identity and connecting with his humanity, and that he is his own person with his own agency. In the end, he brings his family out of Nicaragua because of the civil war at the time, and they live in the same city as the group, and he moves in with Julie. He finally achieved his goal of peace and happiness, and is reunited with his family.

Machine's arc is about discovery, reclaiming, agency and choice. He is initially just viewed as a weapon and soldier, and one of many. On Earth he connects with his humanity, and for the first time, is treated like a person over a weapon(a reason why his relationship with Julie is so important, she's the first person to see him as a person and treat him as such). But on Embara, Pyri is trying to take his agency and choice away and sees him as a weapon, just like the khirens. She briefly succeeds, but Julie gets through to Machine in the end. 

He also views his cybernetic parts negatively initially, because they are what cause others to see him as a weapon, and what other humans used to ostracise him. But in the end, he accepts them and uses them for good, to save humanity, making his own choices in the end. Machine takes back his agency and choice away from everyone who tried to strip it away from him.

His arc concludes with him finding his family and discovering his real name of Alejandro Ferro, a name which he takes on.
