🎵 Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine. You guys are on my mind... 🎵
WELCOME TO TOTAL DRAMA SIMS! The hottest new reality TV show on Simblr. I'm your host jonquilyst, and starting today 14 teenagers will gather to put their wits, guts, and strength to the test to see who can survive and persevere the longest. Buckle up, 'cause it's gonna be totally, absolutely insane!
Allow me to also welcome you to Camp Simsanakwa! Located somewhere along the coast of Brindleton Bay, this crappy summer camp will be our 14 contestants' new home! Here’s a little tour:
🎵 You asked me what I wanted to be, and I think the answer is plain to see... 🎵
🎵 I wanna live close to the sun. Pack your bags 'cause I've already won... 🎵
We've got the basic necessities here: 2 cabins (one for each team) with 2 rooms each, a mess hall for everyone's lounging and culinary needs, and of course bathrooms for everyone to do their business!
But the most exciting part is the campfire, where everyone will face the judgement of their fellow contestants, and the Dock of Shame, where losers will say goodbye to Total Drama Sims!
Now, our 14 contestants have arrived. Allow me to formally introduce our two teams: THE SCREAMING LLAMAS AND THE KILLER COWPLANTS!
🎵 Everything to prove nothing's in my way. I'll get there one day! 🎵

I’m selling glossy A5 prints of my Palestinian Plants artwork to raise money for medical staff and aid in Gaza. I’m printing them on demand so there is no limit to how many can be sold.
All proceeds (excluding shipping cost) from will be donated to Medical Aid for Palestinians. You can read about their work here www.map.org.uk
I’m selling on my bigcartel store HERE , and not on Etsy (so etsy doesn’t profit from this)
You can also just message me directly to purchase a print.
I will offer tracked shipping as default, but if you want far cheaper UNtracked shipping, please message me on instagram @katherinehillierart or through the bigcartel store.
As you probably already know, the current onslaught upon Gaza has killed at least 40,000 people, but without the infrastructure to keep track of deaths, and with so many 1000s buried under rubble, it is likely far more. Children make up nearly half of the Gazan population and are targeted by snipers almost as much as aid workers and medical staff. Rich western nations like the USA and the UK have suspended or ended aid to Gaza and also the West Bank. The ground attack on the Rafah refugee camps has brought a new level of horror. The situation is beyond bleak.

The print features...
-red poppies; these hardy wildflowers are iconic of the Palestinian countryside.
-watermelon has become a global symbol of the struggle against apartheid, thanks its feature in South African resistance movements.
-and olives. Olive trees once covered vast stretches of Palestine, producing some of the world's finest olive oil. Some olive trees stood for over five thousand years, being cared for by generations of the same family. The destruction of these olive groves has been a tool of the occupation since 1947.
Some icons that nearly made it into the illustration
-the Palestinian sunbird
-the Palestinian crocodile
-Jaffa oranges
-za'atar thyme
The original artwork is also for sale, for £150 (about $190USD). Please contact me to make the purchase. This money will also go to MAP.
After weeks of battle, triumph, drama, and other teenager shenanigans, it is finally time to crown the winner of Total Drama Sims!!
Our finalists are Lilium Pond and Dahlia Grove. These two have outlasted everyone else and now, all of the eliminated contestants will be coming together to vote for a winner as a jury! Votes will be public, so you will know who votes for who.
Voting will go from the bottom of the leaderboard up (aka last place to the most recently eliminated), and will be confessional-style to make up for those who never had a confessional while on Total Drama Sims. So, without further ado, let's determine our winner!!
14th place - Elli Proudmoore
"Dahlia, we weren't on the same team, but you were pretty interesting and we talked for a little bit, so uh... yeah."
13th - Aubrey De Peyster
"Dahlia! After watching you from the sidelines, I really regret not getting to know you sooner. We have a lot in common! So, please accept my vote as your former teammate."
12th - Kenzie Ritchie
"Lilium! I really wish we could have been on the same team; we would could have been amazing allies!"
11th - Aster Ernst
"Lilium, since I met you I knew the stars were in your favor. I believe the universe has a divine plan for you! So for that, my vote is going to you."
10th - Cassie Fuller
"Dahlia, sweetie! I can't believe you made it this far! We might not have talked much, but teammates gotta stick together, so I'm voting for you!"
9th - Alexis Youngblood
"Dahlia, but only because you tried to save me from elimination. Wish it worked, but... thanks anyway."
8th - Reagan Felix
"Dahlia, when I heard that you come from a strict family and that you were only here because you got on the wrong bus, I was taken away because... well, you just kept going! Also, I relate to having a strict family, so... yeah, I'm voting for you because you definitely deserve to win."
7th - Anika Patel
"I underestimated you, Dahlia, and for what it's worth, I'm sorry. I never thought you would vote for me, but I guess that's what lead to my downfall. I really did feel that we had a connection, though, so I'm still gonna vote for you."
6th - Poppy Sparks
"Lilium! You deserve it, girl! You were one of the reasons why I had so much fun here. I'm so glad I was able to become your friend."
5th - Camden Reese
"Lilium... Yeah, I'm sorry for not liking you at first. Turns out you were pretty capable, not to mention super nice and friendly to everyone. Pretty admirable that your strategy was befriending literally everyone, rather than being a backstabber. I think it worked pretty well."
4th - Terrance Vellard
"Is it even a question? I'm voting for you, Lilium. I'm gonna always have your back, girly."
3rd - Logan West-Harper
"Dahlia, when I first came here I never thought I'd make friends with anyone here, especially since I was having trouble getting along with people at first, but after competing together I really feel like we became great friends. I really hope you win!"
~~~~~~
With a vote of 7-5, the winner of Total Drama Sims is...
DAHLIA GROVE!!!
CONGRATUALTIONS @ashubii !! Dahlia wins the competition and the prize that comes with it! As I said in the casting call for TDS, whoever's sim wins the competition will receive a prize personally from me, and that's you!! (We'll get in touch 💖)
There will be 1 final post to close out Total Drama Sims and celebrate our winner! Stay tuned...
"Ruler of All, King of mortals and Gods, Hypnos. God who rest in sacred grove amongst poppy flowers and a pillow of feathers. God who brings us gentle repose from the love within your heart, I hand my pet into your arms and so you may be <their> guide to tranquility. May <they> rest with love with you, and so <they> shall know your warmth and presence. I praise and worship you, Hypnos Healer of Mortals. Thank you for listening to this prayer."
