#chrindsay

[memyselfandi2008-blog]

Made some platonic Chrindsay content because I am deprived.

Just as a bit of an explanation, this is sort of my own little AU that I thought up. Pretty much, it combines Total Drama Island with Total DramaRama.

Chris is a teenager, who is forced to keep an eye on a bunch of seven-year-olds (yes, I aged them up in this AU) because his parents think it'll teach him "important life lesson skills," or something like that. Honestly, he could care less the reasoning behind it, and he could care less about the kids.

Well, that's what he tells himself at least.

Bonus image of what Lindsay was drawing:

Not sure if this is considered a hot take or just very specific to me personally, but I feel like the fandom sleeps on Platonic Chrindsay (I’m stressing the PLATONIC aspect here).

Like, Chris and Lindsay have a great dynamic, and it just makes me sad no one is really exploring it. There’s less than a handful of fics for them, and I wish there was more, because they have so much friendship potential.

Like, I could picture them just meeting up for lunches on occasion after Total Drama has been done and over with, and just catching up on different things. Chris asks about the other campers, and Lindsay is happy to tell him how they’ve been.

I don’t know, I just. Something about their friendship is wholesome to me.

Chris: Hey Lindsay, do the cute thing.

Lindsay: *exists*

Chris: Holy crap

Chris literally thinks she’s attractive 🤷🏻‍♀️

Things that make a ship abusive:

Put downs

Physical violence

Sexual abuse

Forcing the partner to stay with them

Making the partner feel like they’re not good enough

Trying to control the partner’s life

Blackmail 

Bullying. 

Things that DON’T make a ship abusive:

Both parties being the legal age of consent but one being significantly older than the other (can still be problematic, but it’s not abusive.) 

Someone saying something they shouldn’t have one time on accident and  sincerely apologizing for it afterwards (may be a legitimate cause to end the relationship, but does not qualify as abuse.) 

Arguing.

Honesty. 

You not liking it. 

The relationship in question being anything less than perfect. 

Can we please as a website end this trend where we call ships we don’t like abusive when they actually aren’t? It’s insulting to people who have actually been in or currently are in abusive relationships.

I ask of you, older sibling, for your wisdom on Lindsay 💖

!!!!!!!!! love that girl! thanks for the ask, vanessa :))  💛

lindsay

sexuality headcanon: pansexual demi-panromantic!! gender headcanon: cis woman a ship I have with said character: lyler is just a given because it’s adorable as hell. they are in love, and i don’t make the rules a BROTP I have with said character: lindsay deserves so many friends!! dj, duncan, leshawna, noah, bridgette, gwen, and beth ( if beth would treat her better than she did in action >:(( ) a NOTP I have with said character: chrindsay... burn it with fire a random headcanon: lindsay goes on to be the captain of her gymnastics team in high school, but she also heads up her own fashion and makeup line after college! General Opinion over said character: i am a lindsay stan first and a person second. i’ve always loved lindsay’s character, especially when she gets as much development as she does in action. she shows that she is capable of strategizing and even leading a team and really grows into a capable player. she is way more wise and people-smart than people give her credit for, and i’m glad that even heather sees that (based on her getting electrocuted after being asked that question on a lie detector test). i wish she’d been shown to give advice to characters more often because of this. oh, and i wish she would’ve won action, but alas, her va had other commitments :(( you can tell the writers were gearing up for it up until she gets eliminated, too, which hurts even more

"I ship Chrindsay"

[thefreshchannel]

Hey I'm newish to the td fandom so do mind me asking who Tasha is?

I guess since she seems to have deleted i can tell the story now lmao

She was basically a fake identity created to harass """the populars™""" like if u heard of jaded teenage girl tashalovesnirvana u probably already know what her personality was like, but the td fanbase was basically her origins and it is an incredibly long story to tell u every little thing shes done so a tl;dr would be tasha is basically a harasser/stalker who traumatized a lot of people for many years. like she pretended to be so many other people and was very out for blood lmao. Also she was a fake persona, along w many others, created by the creator of theconfessioncam herself cherri (who hasnt been online since new years 2015) to make everyone miserable for “kicking her out the td fandom” 

BUT IF U WANNA KNOW THE FULL STORY IT’S UNDER A CUT CAUSE BOI IS IT LONG AND TYPING IT FELT UNREAL

I already spoke abt theconfessioncam so we'll just skip to the day the person behind it was exposed. The person behind it was called cherri (isabelle was her real name but we all called her cherri bc it was in her url)

Cherri was infamous amongst the fanbase bc she shipped chrindsay and wouldn't understand why others didn't, was mostly anti sj/w, liked and defended the one character who shall not be named at the time people were calling out the issues they had w the character (all ppl calling out the issues being neurodivergent while she was neurotypical also this is discourse i am not willing to touch again so dont even think abt sending asks about this lmao), created the phrase "screw you i'm getting my duncney on" and constantly commenting abt why the fandom was toxic and shit like that. Most people would ignore her at first until after theconfessioncam turned out to be her. Many people presented proof and evidence and now she was public enemy #1 like no one liked her and one night everyone started calling her out for her shit and like she immediately blew up. On everyone. I'm p sure after that night the whole plot started.

So like. Shortly after comes a person called "holly-so-jolly" (who then became holly-smokes-molly for a short period of time in late 2015? 2016? fuck idk but her fame was very short but thats another story)Holly befriended cherri and her group of uglies so fast by always being like "wow fuck the populars"  

the populars, a term coined in by theconfessioncam's anons, referred to ppl who would argue a lot abt smthn and others would agree w over well, cherris gang. Anyways holly would almost immediately always start a fight w the populars or say some problematic shit or stan for cherri a lot. I know y'all are wondering what this has to do w tasha but trust me we'll get there lol

A few days (maybe a day or two) after holly joins the fanbase, a new hateblog (SPECIFICALLY MADE TO SEND HATE ABOUT THE POPULARS) popped up. The populars would get anons about the hate blog seeing as it was so brand new that it wouldnt show up in the tag just yet. And these confessions were CRUEL. Like wishing death/murder upon these ppl, encouraging self harm, harassing minors (literally under 16 at the time), ableist comments, racism, transphobia, homophobia like it was all there. Someone else faked a new blog agreeing w these confessions and managed to speak to the new hate blog (this was someone who was undercover and managed to expose the person running that hateblog, which ended up being holly)

Holly then changed her url to winner-challenged to try to impersonate ryan, but them claimed to be other 2 people making an april fool's joke (in february no less lmao) and then she changed her persona completely to desireesparx and tried to pass off as a new person in the fanbase. But it didnt work and she deleted as fast as she came in. Antitotaldramapopulars only lasted one day. On the same day, theconfessioncam was deleted. People suspected cherri was behind all this all to which she claimed she wasnt but we all know the truth lol.

After holly hell, tasha fiasco started. And boy was tasha fucking persistent. Like she came in early 2014, and only JUST NOW DELETED. It is 2017.

Tasha-loves-duncney was ?? I guess ur basic td blogger who just loved duncney? No one had any thoughts of her at first until she made a post about not understanding why people hated mike. So people went on to explain. And i forgot rlly what happened but like tasha started getting more aggressive. Like she would reblog "the populars'" personal posts and mock them, she even added a comment hoping for the person's house to fall on them. Someone then made the "fly away tasha" comment and she CRIED because apparently she had been bullied for having a bird nose and been told that before so it only made the phrase stick. She then made an entire post saying rape wasnt bad or some weird ugly shit like that, and even after that she still had a few ppl supporting her (mostly other anti s/jws in the fanbase and cherris old friends ((also CHERRI WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND OR SEEN! SHE DISAPPEARED DURING ALL THIS LOL))) And that's when we all were all over her and i'm p sure it was when all the hate blogs came back.

I'm not sure if maybe i'm confusing it for another hateblog or if there was another one before this one (or i'm getting the timeline wrong bc is2g tasha deleted and came back so many times) but a confession blog popped up called "camerainthepotty" or smthn along the lines that just seemed to post whatever random weird asks ppl would send them. Then during that night it converted to tdgossipgirls and ?? It was such a weird blog lmao like just like antitotaldramapopulars, it aimed to bully the fandom populars in burn book style ? Tabloid magazine style? Point is we all knew it was tasha lmao and at this point it started to become clear who tasha really was. Whatever hateblog it was it would post fake edited asks allegedly sent by the populars themselves which gave us great classics such as "king bee ryan outtie!"

Anyways tasha liked another populars' personal post and people told her to delete bc it was a super heavy personal post. She claimed it was for support but like she finally deleted. And we were tasha clear for a few months? Weeks? (someone even took the url i think) so she then came back as "tashasbackbitches" and boi was she mad lmao. The whole tag asked her to fly away and she took a screenshot of it and claimed bullying. She then tried to ruin ale//noah day by posting pics of dunc/ney which compared to all she's done this is the most tame thing she had done but ppl were still mad abt that anyways lol. So i think a day later she made the anti-winnerchallenged blog specifically aimed at ryan for whatever reason. She ""accidentally"" made a post for anti-winnerchallenged on tashasbackbitches but like once ppl pointed it out something even weirder happened like it sounds fucking unreal but apparently it was a fake tasha???? According to real tasha??? Who was now back as "tashalovesduncney" with no hyphens?? And going to people's inbox saying that tashasbackbitches WAS NOT HER And that she had proof on her blog bc there was a pic of her holding a piece of paper w her url written on it and also an audio post explaining what happened.

So tashasbackbitches was deleted and now we were stuck with tashalovesduncney. Which at first was??? Idk but the audio post on her blog sounded high pitched like. It didnt sound like no human voice lmao. Also the pic of her had the piece of paper edited in. So someone pointed it out and like. She immediately assumed another ""popular"", cass, had sent it. And when i tell u this tasha was DARK AND OUT FOR BLOOD, I MEAN IT LMAO. Like tasha clung on to cass ever since. She would @ them and all that shit on posts and like. This tasha was out to attack. She would constantly say awful shit abt the populars and @ them in her posts, or she would @ well known anti sj/w blogs (such as p0ppypicklesticks, swimmninda/privilege u name it) and encourage them to slay our sjw asses. Not only that but now there was an anti-deadbyshawn blog to aim hate at cass specifically.

I guess at some point someone else came in the fandom by the name of staceyd123 and was received in many different ways like1. People assuming this was tasha2. People defending her bc she was a minor3. Tasha encouraging her to befriend her

However a lot of ppl started to believe this was a different person. She did befriend tasha and a lot of the ppl in the fandom and bc she was a minor a lot of the older kids protected her from tasha and constantly warned her. Sometime between that antitdpopulars came back and more fake asks were posted, populars were being blamed on for the blog to bring attention to themselves. Not sure if it was earlier or at this exact time but i think it would tie into the next event better.

so tasha and stacey had this BIG FIGHT i guess cause stacey outed tasha for running the new anti populars blog and in this fight tasha blamed stacey for staceys parents divorcing and stacey claimed tasha clipped her toenails in a voice call and like. It was so odd at this point tasha started making fake asks about the people who supported her lmao. Then she would submit herself to blogs to send love to ppl being bullied and then those ppl would fight us and the whole night was a mess. Stacey had deleted and then tasha kept her url. I'm p sure sometime later tasha deleted too?? She came back as a sideblog the next time.  

Stacey came back a bit around the same time and ofc had ppl on her side welcoming her back. Almost immediately. Another new persona came in at the time too known as ""fucknmacine18??"" He changed the url to "thechazmeister" or whatever but he was basically a dumb white straight dude fake persona that claimed to have abandoned the south park fandom. Once in the td fandom, he would reblog a lot of the girls selfies and make comments on them also claiming to fall in love w one of the populars? Two of the populars? Idk but point is him being there was. Irrelevant for a while. He would send uncomfortable asks to stacey apparently and also told tasha to fly away/rejected her or some weird shit that happened there idk the story of that but i know tasha was trying to befriend him and flirting w him lmao.

Several hateblogs came out too, one being psychoanalyzing the populars which would reveal incredibly personal information about them (based on their personal posts) and evaluate them. It was a really fucked up blog and no one knew how on earth she managed to get that information. The other one was very tame, it was battleofthepopulars or smthn like that which consisted of the populars being in a td  like setting and each being voted off everyday and like. No one rlly paid attention to it lol. In the end when she booted off one of the populars, she ranted that it was bc she had blamed cherri for something she didn't even do. Which was suspicious seeing as tasha wasnt here around that time, meaning this person knew about cherri being exposed as theconfessioncam.

During that same time, tasha was still very much clinging onto cass. Sending them fanmails as she couldnt send asks since she was on a sideblog. Meaning she followed ppl on an unknown main blog. Cass would receive over 200 fanmails a day from tasha. Tasha even changed her blog's url to match cass'. One night tasha got tired of being ignored and blackmailed cass into talking to them, or their friends would be harassed. The main tag was full of tasha posting edited pictures of ryan on the main td tag, personal posts of another one of cass' friends with the read more code taken off. It was a horrible night. But in the end tasha exposed her main blog was staceyd123. Tasha had faked being stacey which would explain how she managed to get the personal information for her psychoanalyzations blog. She explained it was because she was someone who got kicked out of the fandom by “tortellani and the other populars” and that she finally knew what it was like living like a popular. She then proceeded to spam the tag w animal gore knowing it was a heavy trigger for one of the populars. Stacey/tasha then deleted. Never to be heard of until...oh no wait, we almost forgot our buddy chaz.

So chaz stuck around and made dumb posts and like. No one really cared for him. Until he wanted to be seen as a threat so he made a hate blog on american thanksgiving day taking the populars' descriptions on their mobile blogs and making them bad adding racist/homophobic commentary. It was here where he stole 2 urls belonging to two other populars and tried to pass off as them. Cass had remade, but chaz took their current url (hottiemcfright) as well as the tortellani url belonging to the other person who had changed urls to avoid traffic from TiA. So that night chaz. God it was a blur but he pretended to be those two people and filled the tag w a bunch of animal gore. Tumblr did jump on that and deleted him. Chaz was another of tasha's personas so, NOW we don't hear of tasha until february of 2015.

So now under the url: tashalovesnirvana, she sent popular bloggers racist slurs thinking she was on anon and then begged for them not to be posted and theyre posted for everyone to read. No one thought twice about it when the screenshots were going around but eventually ppl in the td fanbase noticed that tasha had sent those. And i mean, you can basically look this up as it spread from just the td fandom to literally all of tumblr knew about her. They made her asks into copypastas. And it got rlly funny bc at some point she didnt even know who kurt cobain was.

Anyways after this mess she deleted but she came back. Except this time tumblr updated the blocking system so it could actually work. And boy did it work well. Tasha did get 15 minutes of fame (or less) again when she came back but everyone would just block her and she would never be heard of again. She was still there reblogging posts from the ppl she hated toLet them know. She would try to get their attention but. The moment she would contact them she'd get hit w the block button. So naturally she brought back her persona "holly" as a stoner girl "holly-smokes-molly" who also had a short lived fame but then, again, people stopped caring after they had blocked her.  One of her comebacks was her coming back as a woke feminist but no one else cared about her. Tasha was an old meme, so 2 years ago. No one else gave attention to her.

In 2017 she finally deleted. Like the url isnt even hoarded so that's how u know that it's all done. It took 3 years for her to leave us alone. 3 traumatizing years. A lot of the people involved were minors too.

I know i probably messed up some parts of this or got confused w the many hateblogs she made but like. Trust me when i say that she remade so many times it's hard to keep track of all the weird shit she has done. Also i've been typing this since 8am and i still shake a bit thinking about this lol.

So Simple, yet so Sweet

(A/N): a’ight, I’mma be honest, fam… I wasn’t originally going to write this, but because I am severely deprived of platonic Chris and Lindsay, here we are.

Also, probably going to make this into a small series, because I just like the idea of a young Chris being forced to look after a bunch of children, but we'll see how motivated I am, or if anyone is even remotely interested.

Anyhow, enjoy reading!

Paring(s): Lindsay & Chris McLean

Word Count: 443

Summary: Lindsay has a surprise for Chris.

He had just walked into the small classroom when a very excited voice grabbed his attention.

“Chip!” the blond girl called as she bounded up to him, hands held behind her back, “Chip, I have something for you,” she grinned up at him, rocking back and forth on her feet.

The teenager couldn’t help but sigh in mild annoyance. He had just walked in and was already being bothered by one of the little brats he was forced to watch, “Oh, yeah?” he replied dryly, placing his backpack on one of the small, vacant tables nearby, “What is it?”

“You’ve gotta hold out your hand and close your eyes,” Lindsay instructed, mimicking the gesture as she stared up at him expectantly.

Chris rolled his eyes, but complied, “Fine,” he muttered, waiting silently for whatever it was Lindsay was planning to give him. If he had refused, there was no telling what might happen and the last thing he wanted to deal with was a crying child or an angry Chef.

There was a beat of silence as he felt something slip onto his wrist. It was some type of fabric, but he could also feel something like beads. Was it a bracelet?

“Open your eyes!”

Chris’ focus immediately went to his wrist, holding it up to get a better look at the object. It was, in fact, a bracelet. It was purple, with four white and black cubes that spelled out the nickname Lindsay had unintentionally given him.

“So…” Lindsay asked, unable to keep the excitement from her eyes, “Do you like it?”

“Sure,” he sighed. Why was he already exhausted when the afternoon hadn’t even started yet? More importantly, why had she even given this to him? She had to want something from him. There was no other explanation.

“Yay!” she cheered, showing off her own purple bracelet, “Now we’re officially friends!”

“Yeah, cool, cool,” he replied hastily, uncaring, “Why’d you give this to me?”

“Because,” Lindsay giggled, still smiling up at him, her eyes so bright and hopeful, “It’s your Birthday, silly.”

…

How…

“How do you know that?” he quietly asked, trying to think of any possible reason why this six year old would care about his birthday.

“I asked Chef,” she explained simply, taking his hand in both of hers and giving him a light tug, “Now, come on! I’ve got a whole party planned for you! Even Mr. Elephant decided to come, and you know how much he doesn’t like you,” she chatted happily.

Chris allowed himself to be pulled along, unsure of what else to do, and despite himself, he felt a faint smile pull at his face.

[real-total-drama-takes]

Hey, I’m that one anon that briefly talked about platonic Chrindsay, and in it I mentioned how Lindsay and Chris would probably meet up for lunches and stuff, which got me thinking.

Most of the campers would definitely avoid him like the plague, but I like to imagine that when he does end up running into them outside of the show, he’s definitely still his usual self, but dialed down just a bit.

Like, he runs into Sammy at one point, when she’s trying to find some time for herself, and at first she’s like, “Oh, great, this freakin guy again.” But they actually end up having a pretty decent conversation, and Chris actually calls her by her name, which throws her for a loop, because she’s like, “You’ve never called me that before, what???” And he just shrugs, like, “Anyone that can come up with a plan as devious as you did is worthy of my respect.”

What I’m saying is, I need more fics of Chris running info cast members post seasons and just like. Vibing with them.

He’s a pretty devious and downright insane person, but I like to think he still has just a little bit of a heart somewhere in there.

47 Reasons Chrindsay is Canon

Before I commence my argument, I would like to clearly state my intentions: I intend to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that there exists a mutual attraction between Total Drama’s Lindsay and Chris Mclean,  particularly on Chris’ side. I am neither condoning nor condemning a hypothetical romantic relationship between the two; the purpose of this post is simply to analyze the existing relationship dynamic between them. (Although, on that note, I would like to now clarify that the legal age of consent in Canada is 16. Ergo, nothing in this post is promoting pedophilia.) With that being said, let’s begin.

1.  Lindsay is the only contestant who Chris has personally accompanied on the Boat of Losers.

2.   They are officially listed as “friends” on the Total Drama Wiki. This makes her one of the two contestants Chris is actually friends with, the other being Owen.

3.   He’s constantly smiling at her specifically. Don’t believe me? Watch some episodes where they interact and focus on his facial expressions. It is astounding just how many times he smiles at this girl, especially compared to the other contestants. Moreover, his smiles generally appear to be genuine smiles as opposed to smirks. Lindsay actually smiles at him fairly often too, although to be fair she smiles at everyone.

4.  He smiled when she told off Heather in a way that can easily be interpreted as him being proud of her. (1:25)      

5. Their first interaction is comprised of him complimenting her on her     beauty. 

In the U.S. version he refers to her as being “not too shabby.”

In the Canadian version, he outright calls her hot.

6.  He later openly acknowledges her as the prettiest contestant.

7.  He smiles at her and gives her a thumbs-up when she completes the Paparazzi challenge in “Rock ‘N’ Rule”.  Later in the episode, look at the grin on his face when he declares Lindsay the winner. He is genuinely happy she won the challenge. Not to mention, the photo of her he chose to use is kind of suggestive…. 

8. He actually helped her in the Hide’N’ Seek Challenge by telling her she needed to find a better hiding spot. He also enjoyed playfully teasing her about her hiding spots in a manner which. Keep in mind that harmless teasing is a common way for guys to express interest in girls they like, and Chris is more than a little immature for his age anyway.  

9. When Lindsay was eliminated in TDWT, he stopped her from kissing Tyler, and was visibly annoyed at Tyler specifically. (“It’s a half hour show!”) At first this simply seems like him being his usual insensitive self, until you remember that he’s allowed couples to kiss/share romantic moments in previous eliminations. Combined with the above, there is reason to believe that Chris may have been preventing Tyler from kissing Lindsay out of jealousy.

10.When Lindsay jumped out of the plane and bumped her head on the way down, he was (initially) visibly concerned.

11.In his interview with Erin, he confessed that he wanted her to win TDWT.      

He added that after she was eliminated, he didn’t even care who won.

12. This:

13. And this: 

14. And this:

15. Chris teases Lindsay in “Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 2 and Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan” about the time she accidentally voted herself off. Recalling # 8, it is quite possible that he simply found her actions amusing-possibly even endearing- and is making fun of her for them to get her attention. 

16.  The Princess Pride from 4:35-6:02. First, he does not get annoyed at Lindsay telling him he can’t boot off Beth. On the contrary, he’s actually smiling pleasantly. 

a. It’s fairly obvious he wants Lindsay to be the princess.

 b. He actually is disappointed that Lindsay can’t be the princess. The look on his face at 6:02 may be the closest we’ve seen him come to actually expressing pity for a contestant.

 c. It’s a stretch, but his claim that princesses are supposed to have tiny feet can be interpreted as him claiming that although they are supposed to, not all of them do. A.K.A., he’s calling Lindsay a princess in her own right. 

17.  In “I Triple Dog Dare You”, Lindsay’s photo is the only one with a heart on it, and it happens to appear right next to Chris in the beginning of the episode. 

18.  She is one of the few people Chris did not push out of the  plane on TDWT. 

19.  This is his reaction to seeing Lindsay dressed as Wonder Woman in the     episode “Superhero-id”: 

20. He then proceeds to declare Lindsay the winner, even though she was supposed to dress up as an original superhero, not one that already existed. 

21. Afterwards, when Lindsay claims that Courtney stepped on her invisible jet, Chris immediately comes to her defense, and is eager to take her up on her offer to “take a ride” with her in her imaginary invisible jet. He even says as an aside to the camera that he “loves this game”, and winks.

22.  He refers to her as “[TDA’s] foxiest player” when she gets     eliminated in “Rock ‘N Rule” .

23. Earlier in the episode,  when Courtney is trashing the hotel room, he stops her from potentially hurting Lindsay. 

24.  When adjusting his mirror in TDA(I forget which episode), he looks at Lindsay from it.

25. In the TDA episode “Million Dollar Babies”, Chris refers to Lindsay as the “Blonde Bombshell.”            

26. Listen to how Chris says Lindsay’s name. Most of the time, you can tell that he’s fond of her from his tone alone.

27.  In “One Million Bucks B.C.” he smiles when Lindsay creates fire, and his smile isn’t his usual smirk. It’s instead a sincere and innocent happy one. 

28. There is at least one TDI episode where Chris is smiling because Lindsay received a marshmallow, and therefore is not going to be eliminated. I can’t find which episode it was but if you go to 0:28 here you can see it for yourself. 

29.  In “Get A Clue”, Chris once again seems joyful that Lindsay won the challenge, and he holds her hand up in the air as he declares her the winner. 

30.  Earlier in the episode, Lindsay does appear to be concerned about Chris’ absence. 

31.  Lindsay isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, but she has shown moments of intelligence, and multiple of these moments have related  to Chris in some way.

a. She solved the mystery of Chris’ “death” in Get A Clue.

b. She deciphers his clue in Total Drama Drama Drama Island.

32.  In “Not So Happy Campers- Part 2” , if you turn off the sound and just focus solely on his facial cues, you can tell he’s blatantly checking her out in her bikini. 

33.  This is how he presents Lindsay in “Walk Like An Egyptian Part 1”: 

34.  In the first episode Total Drama All-Stars, Chris refers to Lindsay as “loveable lame-brain Lindsay.” 

35.  The way Lindsay looks at Chris here:

36.  In “Can’t Help Falling in Louvre”, Chris actually puts his fingers on Lindsay’s lips to silence her, something which he almost never does to contestants. 

37. In “No Pain, No Game”, Lindsay openly thanks Chris for the day’s challenge, due to the pleasing effects it had on her skin. I’m pretty sure she is the only contestant to date who has ever thanked Chris for anything, let alone a challenge.

 38. In ‘‘X-treme Torture”, Lindsay renders Chris speechless when she wins the challenge for her team. This is one of the incredibly rare instances in which a contestant was able to leave Chris in what frankly can be considered a state of(albeit temporary) awe. 

39.  Chris seems to find Lindsay’s ignorance amusing on occasion.                     For instance, in “Chefshank Redemption” when Lindsay is put in a jail cell as part of the challenge, she- not realizing that this is a challenge as opposed to her actually being incarcerated- naively starts protesting her innocence, to which Chris quips, “That’s what they all say.” 

40.   Although she struggled to recall his name in Season 1, for most of Season 2 onwards, Lindsay remembers Chris’ name, even though she still struggles remembering the names of several other characters. 

41.    In “Full Metal Drama”, Lindsay and him casually converse about her odds of being eliminated based on her performance in the day’s challenge. What’s significant about this scene is that when he interrogates Izzy and Justin afterwards, his questions are laced with mockery. However ,when he speaks to Lindsay, they both sound casual, even friendly. 

42.   In the TDROTI episode “Runaway Model”, Chris is worried that he will be sued if Lindsay is eaten by Sasquatchanakwa and send the newcomers to rescue her, which isn’t uncharacteristic of him, but the next thing he says is fairly eyebrow raising, particularly considering all of their previous interactions with each other. He literally says"What do you mean I’m liable if the yeti eats Lindsay?! It’s not my fault she’s delicious!"

43.  Also, the fact that he asked Lindsay to come back in the first place. He could have picked a challenge she would not have been eligible to judge, but he purposefully chose one she could, and asked her to.

44. The fact that Lindsay agreed to help Chris with no apparent ulterior motive indicates that despite his flaws she genuinely likes him as a person.  

45. The only times Chris is ever mean to Lindsay are either in a slapstick comedy sort of way, or when he is being sadistic towards all the contestants collectively.  In fact, most of the time he’s fairly kind to her. 

46.  At best they flirt, at worst they banter. The interactions between Chris and Lindsay are hands down much healthier than how Chris acts with anyone else on the show. In fact, considering how dysfunctional the relationships- be they romantic or platonic- between most of the other characters are,  Chris and Lindsay arguably have one of the most healthy bonds on the show.        

47. Chris’ voice actor Christian Potenza has stated that not only does Chris flirt with Lindsay, but also that Chris and Lindsay would be in a relationship if Chris were a contestant.

Just a Coffee

(A/N): First of all, before anyone asks, yes, this is extremely self indulgent. Second off, I mostly wrote this to somewhat explore Lindsay and Chris’ dynamic. Also, I might continue this? Probably not, but we’ll see if I’m motivated at all.

Paring(s): Lindsay & Chris McLean

Word Count: 1,191

Summary: Chris hadn't intended to get his own coffee, but one messed up order and one fired intern later, he found himself standing outside the coffee shop a few blocks away.

"Unbelievable," Chris grumbled under his breath, tossing the still warm latte into the nearest trash can, "How hard could it possibly be to get my order right? I even wrote it down for them!" he ranted to no one in particular. That was the fifth time, within two weeks, that someone had gotten his order wrong. Could you really blame him for getting frustrated?

Chef couldn't help but roll his eyes at the TV host, briefly recalling the memory of Chris barking out his order, while the intern frantically wrote it out on a piece of paper, "If you're really that upset about the whole thing, why don't you just get your own fancy shmancy drink?" he proposed, meeting Chris' bewildered stare.

"Get… my own… latte?"

It was as if the thought hadn't even crossed his mind—which it hadn't. Why would he bother with such a trivial thing when he had better things to do, like literally anything else?

Chef nodded, "There's a coffee place nearby," he gestured towards the exit of the building, "So it's not like you'll be walking far."

Chris hummed, resting his chin in the palm of his hand as he thought over his options. He'd lose the joys of firing any intern who messed up his order, but he'd also finally get his coffee just the way he liked it. Making people suffer, or his own wants and needs…

Wait, why was this even a dilemma?

"You know what? I think I will get my own coffee from now on," he crossed his arms and grinned, a satisfied look on his face, "Man, I can't believe I didn't think of that sooner."

Chef sighed heavily, shaking his head in mild annoyance as he watched Chris head out of the building. It was times like these, some small part of him missed being in the Army.

———

It was a cozy little building with a chalkboard sign sitting just outside the door, listing off the day's specials in different colors. Several plants were intricately placed on the windowsill, causing a sense of unease to settle in Chris' stomach. Anything that looked that cheerful must have something wrong with it, if he was going off of his prime example (himself).

Nevertheless, he still needed his coffee, and the only way he'd get it is through that door. Letting out a long sigh, he entered the building, causing a faint ding to fill the quiet room.

"Hello!" a cheerful blond greeted him from behind the counter, "Welcome to…" she seemed to trail off, gaze shifting down as she tapped her chin in thought, muttering quietly to herself.

Chris raised an eyebrow, the faintest of smirks pulling at his face. Did she... forget the name of the café?

"Um… hm… welcome to…" she squinted at her surroundings, gaze searching for where she might find an answer. After a minute, she smiled, eyes going wide, "Oh! Welcome to Brew-ti-ful Coffee and Bakery!" she grinned, meeting Chris' stare, "What can I get you today?"

His eyes skimmed over the baked goods on display, unable to keep the smirk off his face, "Looks like the pastries aren't the only thing here that's brew-ti-ful," he hummed, giving the barista a quick once over as he leaned against the counter.

"Well, duh," she crossed her arms, still smiling, "The coffee is too! That's why it's part of the name."

A small, almost breathless, laugh escaped Chris before he had the chance to stop it, "Well, nothing gets by you, now does it?" he turned his focus to the menu, absentmindedly drumming his fingers on the counter. There were so many options to choose from, and so little time to pick. He did still have a show to host, after all.

And yet, some part of him felt the need to take his time. The world did revolve around him, all things considered.

"What would you recommend, Lindsay?"

She gasped, "How did you know my name?" she asked, an excited glint in her eyes, "Are you, like, psychic or something? Oh, oh! Can you read minds?" she frantically asked, bouncing up and down at the thought, "What number am I thinking of?"

There was a shift in his stomach and, once again, a laugh broke out of him, "Actually…" he admitted, gesturing to the tag on her apron, "I just read your name tag."

Her face fell into confused disappointment, "So, you're not psychic?"

"I'm not, but I think you might be," Chris was still smiling, still bidding time, still ignoring the feeling that had settled in his chest, "You spend so much time in my mind, I should charge you rent."

Lindsay tilted her head to the side, "Do I? How much do you need?" her voice seemed to grow quiet as she spoke, digging through her wallet, "I mean, I've only got a little money, cause Heather used most of it to buy her lunch, but—"

Without hesitating, Chris quickly interrupted her, listing off his order at record speed, in an attempt to drop the previous remark before it got too out of hand. Lindsay carefully pinned it into the register, nodding her head to show she was listening, her wallet having been placed back in her pocket.

"What's the name?" she asked, sharpie and cup in hand, staring at him expectantly.

Despite himself, Chris let a beat of silence pass between them as he glanced around the very empty building before turning back to Lindsay, "Chris."

She hummed, writing down the name, then turning to work on the order. Chris watched as she briefly struggled with getting the drink put together, knocking over various items in an attempt to get what she needed.

"This your first day?" he couldn't help but ask, trying to bite back the amusement in his voice.

"Nope!" Lindsay replied cheerfully, "I've been working here since summer break started."

"Really?" he blinked in surprise. She had been working here for almost four weeks and she still had trouble remembering the name of the place?

"Yep!" she turned towards him, holding out the paper cup, "Here you go!"

He took the drink carefully, "Right, well, it was nice talking with you."

Chris nearly froze at the statement, but tried not to let his shock show on his face, waving goodbye as he left. He never liked talking to anyone, save for a very select few.

"Bye! Come again, soon!" Lindsay called after him, returning his wave as the door's bell chimed once again to indicate Chris' departure.

It felt funny, the whole thing. He was sure Chef would get a laugh out of it, at the very least. A sigh escaped him as he looked down at the drink, hesitant to even try it, with how much of a mess she made putting it together. Though, all that hesitation seemed to vanish when the name she had written on the cup caught his attention.

Chip.

"Huh…" he smiled gently, taking a drink as he started his walk back to his studio. Almost surprisingly, she actually got his order right. Definitely surprisingly, he silently decided he'd go back there again.
