#ripper and zee friendship is so yes

Things I liked in season 2:

Priyaleb was cute.

Caleb is a character here, and he's such a nice guy!

Rajbow moments.

Rajbow not breaking up (yes, it's important).

Wayne and Raj are lovable himbos as they are. They, Julia, MK, and Demian, carried this season.

Chase is eliminated in the second episode (I don't like him).

Zee being Zee.

Damien and Nichelle, being a king and queen of this season.

Ripper is a better person and not as gross or annoying as his s1 self (though it's also his downhill).

No fart jokes, thank god!

The humor is better.

Julia and MK are the most unexpected friendships we have this season. They're definitely my favorite antagonist duo in total drama. They are so terrible in a good way.

Raj and Wayne's farewell scene had the best animation in all series.

THIS

This right here is the most wholesome moment in the series by far. I want to hug people who created this.

Things I didn't like:

They didn't change the intro. It's laziness to me.

The fact that the teams almost didn't change. The only differences: Caleb, Emma, and Nichelle on Priya's team. Chase, Ripper, and Axel on Bowie's team. I'm not very angry at this, but it's very boring.

Priya and Caleb should've been eliminated earlier.

Emma being eliminated in the 3rd episode is a crime.

Bowie and Emma did not reconcile. They didn't even interact with each other this season!

Demian being a character tool (he didn't deserve it).

Rippaxel was hilarious but came out of nowhere.

Priyaleb has too much screen time.

Priya became Courtney after episode 7 and tried to kill Caleb.

Ripper is a completely different character here. Did he had a character development off-screen???

Caleb and Axel do not have anything besides their romances.

Is it just me, or did they take Bowie strategic and sassy part away from him? Don't get me wrong, he's still the best, but something was... off.

Wayne's not using his captain/leader skills. Considering he's the winner of this season, this would've been very useful.

The whole separation between Wayne and Raj was too short. To this to work better, Raj should've been eliminated earlier (how painful it didn't sound).

Tho I'm happy between Bowie and Raj, I think Raj should've gotten mad at him. I mean, they builded up the hole. "Bowie is lying to his bf," and then nothing really happened!

Them throwing Mille character development and making her worse.

"I'll be back and get revenge on you!"- and then she didn't (episode 13 doesn't count!).

Poore Nichelle. She was too powerful.

A personal preference:

Priya's coming through self-discovery to learn what she wants would've been interesting.

Imagine if Chris said that Priya and Bowie were actually choosing teammates for an opposite team. It's would've been so bold and interesting!

Demian should've been in the final three instead of Caleb.

I would prefer Wayne to be eliminated instead of Raj.

My dream finale was Raj vs Julia or MK. Like fair vs cheating, get it? Plus, Raj taking revenge on one of them for eliminating Bowie.

Rank: 6/10

It's still way better than All Stars.

"I have no clue"

Zee x Reader

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

this one's kinda cringe to be honest, i wrote it for my old td account but oh well!! it's still kinda sweet

i remember this being a request, but i've completely lost the ask, since it was on my old blog

☄. *. ⋆

fluff

word count: 1,575

proofread: yes but i'm tired so i might have skipped over something

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Ever since you got to the island, you'd been a confident and straight forward kind of gal. Whenever Ripper opened his mouth to say anything, you were able to combat his statement and shut him up for 5 minutes. Better than anyone else on the island could, at least.

Most of the other contestants enjoyed your attitude and your willingness to speak your mind. You helped lead your team to victory many times and worked hard.

There were moments when you 'lightly' berated a teammate for slacking off, but there was that one person that you just... let slip under your radar.

Zee.

You hadn't truly realized your feelings for the boy until Bowie said something about it. You two were walking in the forest alongside Emma, as you all had formed a little alliance due to hitting it off on the first day on the island.

"So," Bowie began. "Y/N. You and Zee?"

This caught you off guard, quickly looking over at Bowie. "Ex-Excuse me?" You felt your heartrate pick up and your face go red, your eyebrows furrowed trying to figure out what he meant. "Oh my god, it is true!" Bowie laughed, holding onto Emma. "You so totally like Zee."

"No, I don't!" You objected. Where did he get such a stupid idea from?

"You definitely do." Emma butted in, laughing alongside Bowie. "It's so obvious! You're harsh on everyone but Zee! Even though he's the easiest to be harsh on."

"I mean, just yesterday during the catapult challenge you literally cheered for the guy! We aren't even on the same team as him!" Bowie added on. "You do not do that to anyone else. There's some love goin' on and I'm gonna get to the bottom of it."

"No, you will not. And, if you do, so help me I will beat your ass tenfold." You threatened, staring straight into his eyes. "Ooh, feisty." Bowie snickered, waving you off. "Listen, girl, he totally likes you back. You just gotta, you know, push yourself out there! I know you can do that, at least."

You breathed in and sighed. Maybe… just maybe… Bowie was right.

"I'll... think more about it. Can we drop the subject? Thanks." You pinched the bridge of your nose in an attempt to release the tension building up in your face. “Alright." Bowie shrugged, sneaking a glance over at Emma and smiling.

A few more challenges passed and you'd slowly managed to grow closer with Zee, especially after the merge. It wasn't much, just a simple friendship. To say the others were shocked by this was an understatement. Someone as straightforward and determined as you, friends

with the chill, laid-back Zee? It was unheard of!

Today's challenge Chris said you all had to canoe across a river, walk through a field, climb a mountain, and ring a bell! Easy, right? Wrong. While the challenge had hardly started, you were already being plummeted with jumping salmon! Disgusting.

As the taste of salmon filled your mouth every time you were hit in the face, your canoe was being assaulted by said salmon even more. You hadn't even noticed you started sinking until you felt water on your ankles, causing you to look down and take notice of your canoe flooding.

You tried to keep a calm head, but there was no one in your alliance close by, so you slowly accepted your fate. You could try to swim to shore, but that would only end up in you drowning from the salmon and the extreme waves of the river.

You braced for impact with the water when the canoe flipped, and you desperately held onto what was floating as a last attempt.

Just as you were about to go under, you saw someone’s oar appear in front of you, signaling you to grab on. Immediately you grabbed it and watched as your canoe fell into the river, never to be seen again for hundreds of years...

You looked over to your savior and your eyes widened when you realized who it was. Zee! You smiled at him gratefully as you climbed onto his canoe, sighing.

"You looked like you were in trouble." Zee chuckled, looking over at you.

"Man, those stupid salmon destroyed my canoe. If it hadn't been for you I would have been fish food." You laughed along with him, the familiar feeling of fuzziness appearing in your stomach. “I can't thank you enough."

"Nah, it's nothing, man. Anything for a friend." He smiled at you. Friend. Right.

"Well... let's continue the challenge, alright?" You stated, looking towards the ever-looming fields Chris mentioned.

You both sat in an awkward silence before you made it to the field, noticing there were already a few other contestants ahead of you two. Not a moment later, the ground started shaking, and out poured water from the ground.

"It's a geyser! Sorry, geysers!" You exclaimed, looking all over at the small indentations with holes in the field. "How are we supposed to get through without being blown sky-high?"

"I have an idea,” Zee said nonchalantly before grabbing your wrist and running off into the field.

"Zee, what the hell are you doing?" You yelled, trying to be louder than the geysers exploding behind and in front of you.

"Trust me!" He yelled back. "Just gotta run fast so the water doesn't find you!"

You couldn't help but furrow your eyebrows in confusion. Why your heart chose this man, you had no idea.

After a few more seconds of blindly following Zee, you guys actually made it to the end of the field. You sighed in frustration, knowing this wasn't the end.

Emma had caught up to you two and exchanged glances at you both. She gave you a tiny wink and a grin, which you returned with a glare, before looking back at Zee.

"I gotta admit, Zee. You're way sneakier than I thought."

"I don't know what you mean?" Zee replied, clearly confused.

Emma just responded with a sarcastic "right" before being blown up by a geyser. Karma truly is real in the world.

You looked away for a couple seconds to take a look at the mountain and gaze at its beauty. Nature truly was magnificent when you tried to forget the fact that you were on an island for a few more weeks with a sadistic psychopath for a host.

And yet, you looked back to Zee stuck in a geyser, and you couldn't help but groan as he got flown into the air. At least he was enjoying himself, you thought.

After that, you two got separated for the rest of the challenge. Nothing truly eventful happened to you, other than some small bee stings that were mere minor inconveniences. You pretty much knew you weren't going to win after becoming so far behind with the little canoe incident.

In the end, Julia ended up winning, to your alliance's dismay. That girl really needed to be gone and put in her place. But alas, not today...

In the short time between the end of the challenge and nightfall, signaling the beginning of the elimination ceremony, you decided to talk to Zee.

"Hey, Zee." You caught up to him, apparently today he decided to take a stroll across the beach. He had his signature soda in hand, taking a few sips here and there.

"Oh, Y/N! What's up?" Zee's face brightened when he saw you, smiling.

“I... had something I need to talk to you about." You muttered, taking deep breaths. You fiddled with the hem of your shirt, closing your eyes for a moment. The worst he can say is no.

Suddenly overcome with a wave of confidence, you look him in the eyes and confess these feelings that have left you sick for the past weeks. 

"Zee, I've really been wanting to tell you that... I like you. Like, like like you. It's weird, I don't normally do relationships, y’know? But like, you're the only person that doesn't constantly frustrate me and that I don't have to put in their place like, ever." You took one big deep breath before finishing, "What I'm trying to say is, will you go out with me? Once the show is over?"

You looked back at Zee awaiting an answer, but he just looked at you absolutely dumbstruck. "Zee? Please say something..."

After you said that, a grin appeared on Zee's face, causing you to release some of the tension in your body. "Sure, I mean, yeah!" Zee nodded. "You're super cool and awesome. I'll be honest, I've kinda like you for a while. I didn't realize until Chase told me how obvious it was. Was it obvious?"

"If it was obvious, it wasn't to me. Probably to everyone else, though. I mean, Bowie and Emma figured it out before even myself." You laughed. "It's so weird, being able to just relax around a person. I like it."

"Me too." Zee smiled. "I'll be honest I... don't know much about relationships. Never been in one myself."

"Me neither..." You admitted. "But I suppose we could figure it out together." You smiled up at him, taking his hand in yours.

"Cool." Zee grinned, taking a sip of his soda.

"I've always wondered... What flavor is your soda?

“Like what kind?"

Zee pondered the question for a moment, staring at the can, before looking back at you.

"I have no clue."

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSA FIRST EVER TIME MY FAV WON

awww raj and bowie

i legit think this is my favorite season of total drama ever :’)

[total-drama-shark]

First impressions on every contestant!

Warning this gets long.

Millie

Was really interested on the possibility of a nerdy character from her introduction, but I feel like my biggest gripe with her is the whole “my generation” thing, it just feels slightly mean spirited and not realistic for a personality trait. Teens generally don’t like being told that their generation sucks or that they’re all dumb or have their use of technology criticized. The ones that do dislike their generation are those either trying to receive approval from older people or “I was born in the wrong generation” type kids. She’s just, unrelatable.

Axel

Her voice is higher than I expected, I like the survival theme and was surprised we got another zombie conspiracy nut in the cast (so happy we got a Shawn cameo/reference as well!) she really is like a mix of Jo and Eva with a sprinkle of Shawn and I wish we got to see more of her!

Priya

Super interesting to see a contestant raised by TD fans, and her intro was amazing! Baby and toddler Priya! Owen reference! She is 100% going to be an interesting character. I guess there’s also a subversion of a big Desi stereotype with her, she wants to go to med school but her parents want her to enter a more unconventional and unstable field, I don’t know exactly how to feel about this, specially since I’m not desi myself.

Zee

My man!!! I love me a skater/surfer dude and the Jude vibes are impeccable!! He is so chill and just here to vibe. I’ve audibly laughed at multiple of his lines and just love him so much. I also think he’s neat amputee rep, he’s casual about it and was just born that way, but can make fun stories up about it.

Ripper

Am I disappointed by the fart and potty jokes? Yes, but besides that I actually really like his character! An annoying bully who despite his best efforts is a loser. Also if his voice doesn’t fuel the nowen child headcanons out there I don’t know what will.

Damien

A total newbie! Very opposite to Priya in this case and also super interesting character trait for him, I hope both him and Priya can function a bit to show off the POV of both old and new fans alike. He’s also very entertaining :)

Scary girl

Exactly what I expected from her and more! She is very much one dimensional compared to most the rest but I love her! I love wildcards! So excited to see her shenanigans

Bowie

Introducing yourself as the first openly gay contestant is definitely a first impression! I’ve got to say I adore his competitive and scheming nature and you can tell he’s in it to win it, he also has amazing social skills and is overall an icon. I know not everyone will be into the idea of the first openly queer contestant being very stereotypical but I’ve always thought that just as while his sexuality isn’t the center of his personality and there’s at least another queer character that isn’t as stereotypical it’s all good, and by the looks of it that will be the case. Also I know multiple gay dudes that act just as him so I have a bias.

Chase

Did not expect a stunt Youtuber type guy but I definitely should’ve seen it coming, also DRAMA?? Pre established EXES??? I am so interested in seeing how this pans out

Emma

I love her voice first of all and I did not expect her to have been part of the stunt Youtuber group, hope the ex drama isn’t all there is to her character and I really enjoy her friendship with Bowie so far!

MK

Oh I love her, we haven’t seen a character like her before and she has so much potential! A character that knows she’s underestimated and takes advantage of that? Yes please!

Caleb

Pretty much a Justin copy, I can’t really say much about him and we knew how things were going to pan out so I can only hope he’ll make if farther and get more development next season.

Wayne & Raj

Hockey dudes! They’re such jocks and can sense the “makes fun of me lightly for being unathletic but cheers for me when I finally start participating in sports” energy from them so hard, they’re fun guys and feel so much like real teen boys.

Nichelle

An actual TV star! I didn’t see that coming but I love it! Love seeing the little flashbacks to her shows and movies and seeing someone in the show be treated as an actual celebrity, she’s also as far as I’ve seen pretty smart, level headed, and humble for a TV celebrity! So interested in seeing her work!

Julia

The influencer chick! Her intro was amazing and I definitely didn’t expect her to be into healing crystals, feel like she’ll be a very interesting character and I await her interactions with Nichelle.

WARNING THIS IS A RANT ❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️

my opinions on every total drama reboot character yippeeee

these are js my opinions, im rewatching it rn so i can analyze the characters better

rajie ? best boy. BEST. BOY. MY FAVORITE BOY ON THE ISLAND. HE IS AMAZING. HE WAS ROBBED.

wayner : also a best boy , BEST ALLYYYY WE STAN HIM BEING SO SUPPORTIVE OF RAJIE

if chris ever tries to separate rajie n wayner im OFFING MYSELFF THEYRE SO WHOLESOME TOGETHER PLEASE FRESH DONT DO ANYTHING TO THEM

bowie : an actual slay queen. prom king AND queen. he shouldve won tbh i would pay sm money thag i dont have rn to see that

zee : yes. he acts high but lowkey hes cool and js overall a good character with cool development, js a likable guy

julia : ooh GIRL. SHE HAS BEEEEFFFF WITH THAT DINOSAUR. when me and my boyfriend watched the season for the first time on a teams call , the dino scene came up and we laughed for an hour straight about it 😭😭 shes iconic. “ crystals are real. prayer hands emoji.”

priya : tbh , i could tell she was gonna win from the first episode. it was really obvious tbh and i feel like the plot wouldve been better if bowie won? her characters cute tho fsfs

emma : girly ate those lil dancey dances UP. her friendship with bowie was so good. and also her mocking mk was so yes “i thought it was haalff 😖”

ripper : HE TOOTS. HE FLASHES. HE THINKS HES A GYM BRO. POOKIE I HATE HIM IDK

caleb ( HELP I ACCIDENTALLY PUT JUSTIN INSTEAD OF CALEB LMAO) : i wish wish wish he wasn’t eliminated first. he had no character development other than being a token hot guy, he had MAYBE 3 lines in the entire first episode before he got ELIMINATED

nichelle : she ate everything up , but what if shes js jerry in a wig. im paranoid.

chase : ehhhhh ew ngl cos he drove emmas car into a pet store and now shes pressed

mk : i feel like she couldve been cool if she had more development, i feel like she was kinda a wasted side character ://

millie : i have beef with millie for no reason. 😭i js hate her and she pretends to be loyal but girly was so terrible

damien : not bad tbh ! hes nice too so yk

scary girl / lauren : she’s interesting defooo!! im sad that she didnt get that much screentime this season , and im so pissed that shes getting voted off first next season. ALSO THE THEORIES THAT SHES DAWN IN DISGUSE SHDHDNDN 😋😋 ID BE SO HAPPY IF THEY WERE TRUE

axel : wanted to see more of a personality from her, for now shes known to me as a saner version of jo or eva 🥲

chris : NO BFO YOUR VOICE ABSOLUTELY SUCKS BOOTYHOLE TFFFF

chef : consistent since 2009, biotches

[quackle]

total drama alliances i would adore to see next season (because i have td brain-rot HELP). gonna put under cut 'cause there's spoilers~

nichelle + axel: is it because i ship them? yes. but more than that, i just think this pair would work so well in an alliance. they could make it so much farther if they just learned from one another. (nichelle teaches axel to cool it down a bit, acel teaches nichelle to be more confident in herself and her abilities) idc what you say, girlboss + girlfailure = success! now PLEASE let them make it to the merge this time

mk + julia AND mk + bowie: do you know how much of a serve it would be for mk to play both julia and bowies by pretending to be in an exclusive alliance with both of them? knock two of the strongest players out by playing both of them at the same time! i trust in mk's ability to outsmart smart competition. buttttt it we get one or the other of these, i also wouldn't mind.

wayne + julia: this would work best if the hockey bros are on separate teams. starts as a manipulative tactic on julia's part (as she should, truly); turns into a possible friendship? maybe even give us some more drama and have wayne find out about julia's plans AFTER they become somewhat-friends? i just wanna see wayne get mad idk; he's fun when he's a little bit snarky 🤭

caleb + julia: players who were robbed by bowie knocking bowie down from the jump would make me so mad because i adore bowie... but it would be such a good play that i'd let it slide 😭 this could potentially give caleb the characterization he lacked.

millie + ripper: i cannot stand ripper (i think if you know me, you know this by now lol) but i do think millie is quite possibly the only one who can make him somewhat tolerable. smartass + dumbass = possible win...?

millie + damien: they are so smart. they gotta win at least ONE challenge together. as long as ripper isn't there interrupting damien's sentences/explanations.........

damien + priya + scary girl: they're all "besties" now. and "besties" help each other when the competition gets tough. scary girl is going to do everything in her power to make sure priya and damien are niceeeeee and safe from everyone else except herself ofc because those are HER victims, nobody else's

raj + zee: i cannot explain why i want to see this... like i don't know what benefit they would have making an alliance. i don't even think zee is that big of a fan of alliances. tbh i just think it would be a silly alliance. and we deserve silly alliances. as a treat.

zee + scary girl: same as above, but this one is even more silly. it's maximum silly. i don't even think they'd win challenges together. but they'd bring in some humor. we deserve laughter.

ok i can't think of any more, but if y'all can, please let me know because i eat up total drama theories like they're dessert at 3am

[noahtally-famous]

td 2023 s2 ep1 spoilers below the cut

(okay so I have not finished s1 but I know the general gist of what happens through mutuals posts and just the td tag lmaoo. maybe later I will actually sit down and watch the whole thing, but that time is not now.)

moving onto my thoughts of s2...

AHHHHHHHH idk how else to explain it but I absolutely LOVED the episode, and honestly I have a feeling I'll love this season, simply bc everyone is so great!!

heck even ripper and chase were tolerable, like, there weren't any fart jokes or anything, it was great!

MKULIA SWEEP???? HELL FREAKING YEAH idc if it's a friendship/alliance, I'm living in my world where they're toxic yuri

Caleb getting some much-needed character development??? I'm SO here for it, and the stuff mentioned during the episode def fits the kinda vibe I have going for him, so that's even better!! (potential caleb & emma friendship??? they can bond over kittens and of caleb being emotionally mature)

also his reactions to the team choosing was gold, I can't wait to see what A-Game he's gonna bring. I'm hoping he doesn't become a version of justin--I just want him to want to be a useful teammate and person for his team/friends/competitors and want to win as well. no overly crazy 'tda justin' villanry pls?? (I mean, I won't be averse to it if it does end up happening, but it'd be cool if things changed up this time around)

CHEMMA BROKE UP THANK FRICKING GOD, our prayers have been answered!! please please PLEASE have them stay broken up

raj & wayne on the same team again!! I was not expecting that tbh, but I'm curious to see where this goes

rajbow is so adorable, like bowie not even letting chris finish before he immediately picks raj first for his team is so 🥹

ngl chase is still a dumbass but now that chemma is out of the way, I mean it affectionately, I can't bring myself to hate any of the characters and that trend isn't going to stop here. that moment when he ran at granny hatchet and bowie was like "I don't believe it, I think he's gonna make it" like that scene was insane

damien is amazing as always, no words need to be said. manifesting a final two involving him

NICHELLE. FUCKING NICHELLE. GOD I CANNOT ARTICULATE HOW MUCH I ADORE HER HERE!! saving the best for last goddammit, I love her so so so so much, omfg the way she slayed the challenge, pls I'm so hyped for her character development this season, I can't wait for the other contestants to eat their words abt her

axel trying to 'be nice' ("i'm a work in progress" yes you are but you're doing amazing) but acting like an ass to ripper is something I live for. "I'm not following you, we're running in the same direction!" LMAOOOO

the fact that priya doesn't hold any resentment toward her parents still irks me, but I still love her character and I'm excited to see what's in store for her

GRANNY HATCHET SLAYED, 'NUFF SAID

I'm still hoping for some axelle content, but I'm more than happy with the mkulia servings we got

I'm lowkey interested in scary girl's change of character. I feel like this wont be the last we see of her--will she be like an amy and swim back to the island to enact revenge? or will she be like ezekiel and live on the island in secret? or will she be a secret third thing? I sure as heck don't know but I can't wait to find out!! her parting words def seem ominous enough to imply something

speaking of, scary girl's change of character and when she talked abt how she became "normal" everyone's reactions were sending me lmaooo

bowie going "you're never right" to chase but is the one to choose chase on his team, like yes dude frrr that frenemy whiplash was wack lmaoo I love it

same with bowie choosing julia, like yes we love to see two manipulative competitive strategists banding together

on a different note, I wonder what will come of bowie and emma's friendship from s1 and how that broke apart. maybe they could rekindle it in s2? hmmm

zee and their suitcase of sodas 😭

"she's an animal" OKAY MK TONE IT DOWN (pls don't, actually pls continue doing it) YOU'RE NOT HELPING MY MKULIA CASE HERE

millie being priya's first pick >>>

"what strategy? you just stop and run, it's not rocket surgery" 😭 I used to dislike ripper, but if he continues on like this, that opinion will def change. it's only been the first episode and I already don't dislike him anymore so-

MORE MKULIA P L E A S E IM HOPING

chris is still 'tdi chris' aka the b e s t chris imo, and I'm here for it!! also chef and chris's dynamic is still spot-on

in conclusion, im so very excited for what this season will bring!! in case you didn't realize, I LOVED the first episode!

[salmonoah]

Oh my god, okay, im watching the new season of total drama and. Wow.

Spoilers below, here are my thoughts on the first episode! They were literally written as i was watching the episode

-i didnt think i would hate Chris’ voice as much as i do, but wow, it uh. It isnt good

-WHO CHANGED THE INTRO SONG??????? I JUST WANT TO TALK.

-the animation has noticably improved, which isnt very surprising given how much time has passed since the last season

-chris and chef just gave eachother the gayest look on planet earth.. ok guys…

-they brought back the classic 1 by 1 intro scenes like they did on the original TDI, which is actually pretty awesome

-theyre really trying to sell the whole “gen z” thing

-ok, axel. Love her voice, and i actually kind of love her whole survivalist thing, even if its a bit of a rip off of whats his name (forgive me for not remembering his name rn,,,)

-i love zees voice. He is so high right now

-i also love rippers voice. This episode so far still has not taken the nowen child idea out of my head (or at least Owens sibling, maybe??)

-love damien. No other notes

-“lauren”. Ok. Slay i guess. “You should stop looking at me :)” i love her actually

-BOWIE…… DUDE I LOVE HIM, THESE CHARACTERS ARE ACTUALLY GREAT. Those heart glasses are sooo real

-emma is ready to kill

-oooouu ok mk. Ready to commit crime

-caleb is just another pretty boy but i guess we have to have an obligatory one every generation

-WAYNE AND RAJ WAYNE AND RAJ I LOVE THEM. God they’re so Canadian

-why have i met 17 people like Julia

-“can i switch to the team that has death in the name :)”

-“do you scream in your sleep? :)”

-alpha male ripper

-OHHH MY GOD YES EMMA BOWIE FRIENDSHIP

-heheehg. He said “boobie”

-damn these challenges are complicated as hell 😭

-“i dont speak nerd 😡”

-LMAOOO BOWIES HEART GLASSES SHATTERING 😭😭😭

-“straight couples are messed. Up. 😧”

-the pacing is strangely rushed, even for total drama. Is it just me??

-DAMNNN Caleb eliminated first episode?? I wasn’t expecting that actually

-OH MY GOD BOWIE. GIRLBOSS

[maborobaku]

My thoughts for the characters after all of the promo drops thus far:

Axel: She's definitely got this whole Action Girl thing going on and that is a yes. Her design is pretty nice too.

Bowie: Yeah I just can't hate his design. Confirmed/Hinted as one of the LGBTQ+ characters. I'm just hoping he isn't too much of a stereotype. Also Bowie and Emma friendship?

Caleb: There are 2 things I noticed about him since promotional material came out. First off: He has a similar archetype like Justin (and Alejandro) which is attracting most people in their cast, however I don't see him being a villain/antagonist like those 2 (Bowie fawning over him led to speculation on them being one of the predicted LGBTQ+ couples). Another thing being that he was only seen in 2/3 of the Italian trailers and was AWOL in both Boomerang trailers, leading to many early boot predictions.

Chase: Just based on looks alone he gives off the "normal, nice guy that'll likely get involved in a romantic plot" vibe and there has been a few predictions that he and Priya might be a couple. Also, not a comparison but I cannot help but notice that their signature colors are similar to Mike and Zoey.

Damien: Out of all the male characters he's got the best design in my opinion. I also took notice he seems to have a mustache (not something usually seen on contestants). Also if I can assume that he spoke in the 30 second trailer (The "WHY?!") ... man sounds just like Ryan and I'm fine with that since Ryan was funny.

Emma: She looks a bit like Bridgette and Carrie fused together but with a more preppy sense of fashion (Which is so funny since I don't think Kristin will voice her). Although I've seen theories that she could be a "Bitch in Sheep's Clothing" type villain could be interesting.

Julia: Initially I didn't really have any strong feelings but I can thank the promos for changing my mind and I'm excited. Also her voice sounds just like how I imagined (She sounds kinda like a valley girl). Could be an influencer.

Millie: I wish I had something to say on her because her design is adorable but it looks like her and Priya could be close.

MK: I like how casual her own design is. Now I've been seeing 2 predictions on her and that's between a main character type or an early boot just judging by the 30 second promo. Also her scream reminded me of Amy/Sammy/Taylor.

Nichelle: She looks like a queen (her hair is top tier), my favorite by far. She's clearly a top prediction for a villain but I've also seen predictions for her to be an early if not a pre-merge boot. Now I'm really excited to see her dynamic with Julia.

Priya: I know many predicted she'd be a shy and reserved nice girl but her interaction with Chase says otherwise (and was funny).

Raj and Wayne: Putting these 2 together since the flyer did as well and they are adorable. They're another prediction for a likely LGBTQ+ ship (Not something I'd rule out).

Ripper: I've seen many predictions on whether his character will be a Noah type (snarky asshole type) or Owen (comic relief type) and I'm definitely seeing it lean towards the latter.

Scary Girl: I love her and her energy (from what's been seen so far)! Her color palette is definitely a top 10. Her voice is cute too and seems to suit her from what was heard from her.

Zee: You know I actually like his design, he gives off a laidback vibe. I remember seeing that there would be an amputee character and I did take notice of his leg in the trailer (He wasn't someone I guessed).

EPISODE TWO THOUGHTS

“maybe if there’s a swimming challenge, caleb would have taken his shirt off” “WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?! I’M ALREADY SAD!”

I want to say I like emma and bowie’s friendship, but also...I know it’s not completely genuine so like...

with every scene involving ripper, I’m liking him less and less. ugh he combines like all of owen’s bad characteristics, duncan’s bad characteristics, and a hell lot more fart jokes--it gets way old after a while

on a different note, damien’s amazing, he’s so pure

yeah ofc it’s not okay to you, ripper, that’s why you have an IQ of like...1 (sorry, ripper fans, I just rlly don’t like him now)

mk reminds me of a less nerdier scarlett--more so the morally gray scarlett that revealed herself in the control room thingie. she’s got the brains and she’s willing to do anything to get to the top (even if it means putting everyone else down)

....which also gives me slight noah vibes too, but that could just be my noah brainrot--I can’t seem to get over that lmao

“cabbage isn’t a fruit. that’s all I came here to say”

with every second bowie’s on screen, I love him more and more

ohhh I know the context behind that promo pic now--the one with julia and nichelle! I rlly want a friendship involving them or y’know ~lesbian undertones~

“okay losers, hands up if you want axel as your captain” *everyone’s hands go up* yeah ripper! in your freaking face!

YES AXEL YOU KICK HIS FUCKING FACE OFF THAT BOAT *wipes tear* that was the most beautiful thing I’ve seen all week

oh I forgot to mention, I love chef’s new getup!

it’s okay priya, you tried your best--those moves were sick...until you got smacked in the face by a cabbage...

:0 millie being worried abt priya...a potential friendship???

priya def gives courtney vibes--a nicer, less manic courtney vibe, to be exact

zee all curled up and rocking back and forth while cabbages are raining down around him is such a mood lmao

wayne calling raj “rajie” all the time is 🥺

SO THAT IS HOW THEY REVEALED AMPUTEE ZEE

literally everyone’s reactions when they saw zee’s leg ‘ripped off’ was fricking hilarious lmaoo--including chef’s

and zee playing along to bullshit everyone??? gold, I’m dying rn

“it was my favorite leg too” hjkfljkdhffd

my g o d, chase and emma are a m e s s. [ god, I’ve been told by several posts that they get back together??? noooo they should each either find different love interests or like don’t, I don’t care. but don’t get back together. I mean I don’t mind the ‘exes get back together’ trope, but from the way everyone’s acting, it wasn’t well-executed here ]

ugh I know he doesn’t get eliminated this episode but RIPPER SHOULD JUST GO

Yeah I was waiting for Axel’s boot. She seems like a mix of Shawn and Eva--sure, she may have been a bit one-dimensional and may or may not have a short fuse, but I def would have preferred her to stay over Ripper. Gods, that guy is annoying! 

sorry Ripper fans, unless that guy redeems himself greatly, I don’t think he’ll ever be in my fav. I don’t dislike him--I don’t think I dislike anyone in this season so far--but he’s not on my like list either
