Introducing: The Surfer Dudes, Pete and Gerry!

They're fun, they're laid back, and they refuse to spend their final years in a seniors centre!

[real-total-drama-takes]

Tennis Rivals??

More like Tennis lovers

Chris visits his two Dads in the nursery home every weekend. I know I'm one of the caretakers.

[total-aroace-island]

i got some headcanons!!

Eva! i headcanon her as orchidromantic as back in island she was "hypnotized" by Justin along with Izzy, then later said she is ashamed. [I do ship her with izzy, but this is what I headcanon her]

Gerry and Pete! yeah, what do you think? i just feel like they don't feel any romantic/sexual attraction anymore as they are pretty old. [headcanon as aroace, platonic "the tennis rivals" let's goo]

Cameron! he is/was a bubble boy, imprisoned in that bubble. he obviously did kiss/get kissed as in all stars by courtney and gwen, but i think I'd still headcanon him as aroace. [more on the asexual id say]

Mal and Chester! Mal is just pure evil tbh, i don't see how he would romantically like anyone [headcanon as aroace]. as for Chester, he's just an old man. and besides, he probably doesn't know anything about the labels and lgbtq lmao [also headcanon as aroace, but he doesn't know that]

Max! "evil does not date!" yeah, fr. Max is just too focused on evil, he probably does not know about lgbtq anyways lmao [headcanon as aroace if he knew about it]

we love our aroace community

.

[theultimatemastermind1]

They are gay and dating each other.

[zombiefishmonster]

my emotional support ridonculous race team is the tennis rivals and the lack if content ive seen abt them is sad

[total-drama-takes-the-squeakquel]

If your only aroace headcanons for TD are like. Cameron and the Tennis Rivals and Mal. I would rather you just not have aroace headcanons

Unless you’re aroace then you’re ok. Everyone else reevaluate

[amethyst-geek]

Just thinking about Leshawna's grandma appearing alongside the Tennis Rivals in the one of the newer episodes. Do you think Chris sent the following email to the various TD alums?

What up former contestants,

Do any of you have a grandma who would be willing to get into a pile of marmalade in order to make Julia face her fear of old people? And before anyone volunteers a grandPA, the Tennis Rivals already got the old man rep covered.

Love, the greatest host in the world, Chris

TD 2023 Review: The Final Chapter

Spoilers Down Below.

..

...

...

...

...

...

...

Episode 9: I ain't gonna lie from the way they structured this episode in the beginning. I already knew Caleb was winning immunity.

Funny screenshot I grabbed ^.

I started off this season liking Mkulia because I saw it as an alliance between two equals. But ever since the cheating plotline, they've only ever used MK as a punching bag. And then the cherry on top is Julia eliminating her for a second time.

Left a sour taste in my mouth tbh. And I can believe the hockey bros were dumb enough to vote her off. But you're telling me that Julia somehow convinced Priya and Damien that MK is the bigger threat between the two? She literally told you guys she eliminated Nichelle. But consistency be damned I guess.

Episode 10: I kinda wish the memory game was more about remembering events that happened through the season and less press a button on a ipad.

This julia vs damien rivalry is cooking. It's about time Julia faced some opposition in this competition.

A bit ironic considering they're athletes but I don't think Wayne and Raj have done well in a single competition this season.

Priya admitting she knows Julia is manipulative and then proceeding to get manipulated by Julia. ://////////

Me going into the elimination scene: Oh so the praleb drama is resolved! Priya or Caleb is going home right?

??

??

???

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN DAMIEN GOT ELIMINATED? WHAT THE FUCK???

Ok Julia shared her immunity with Caleb. Vote off Priya? She won last season??? It's not that hard???

"Sorry bro we can't vote off Priya because she's in love with Caleb" WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT LOGIC? That's exactly why you should vote her off!

Damien running around the island looking for his idol and then getting dragged away screaming is legitimately pitiful to watch.

This season loves giving ppl undignified exits but this was the worst one of all.

I want to add on that I knew there was a very low chance Damien was gonna win given how his arc was structured. But this elim was bullshit, should've been Priya.

Episode 11:

Starting off the episode with the hockey bros saying they miss Damien is lame. Ya'll never interacted and you voted him off. Fuck off.

Julia starting an off screen alliance with Caleb is lame. I don't want to hear the excuse "They can only fit so much into 22 minutes." They did perfectly fine in S1? Why the steep downgrade in quality?

We finally get a non gen 1 cameo and it's fucking McArthur. God I hate this season.

This is the worst challenge of the season. This is the third time ya'll have done run around and be chased by animals challenge. At least nobody is farting this time around.

Maturing is realizing Raj was never gonna get a character arc and he's only here to be comedic relief. Sigh..

Julia being a challenge beast doesn't feel as fun as it did in S1. Probably because she's casually steamrolling the game rn.

They waited way too long to boot off one of the hockey bros. We literally only have two episodes left. How are they gonna be able to make wayne idependent and stand out on his own?

Episode 12:

Why is Julia so insistent on gaining Wayne's vote when she has the immunity idol?

Caleb really is whatever the plot demands him to be. He spent the first half of the season being a wannabe f boy. Now he wants to act all sweet n shit and say he don't wanna lie on Total Drama. Like please get the fuck out of here. Not even Millie was this annoying. Steroid ass freak.

Maybe it's the inner fanfic writer inside of me. But imagine if Damien was in this fear challenge and his final fear to overcome was Scary Girl. Would've been peak imo.

They're really giving Wayne a last minute character arc about learning how to be himself without Raj around.

Tennis Rivals cameo? Isn't RR supposed to be an in universe spinoff? Why are there more RR references than like Revenge or Pahkitew? Are those seasons getting swept under the rug?

They really tried to make this elimination suspenseful when we already know Julia has the idol.

I still like Priya overall. But i'd be lying if I said Season 2 makes it hard to do so. Besides a few mentions from Chris, her being a canonical winner has no effect on the story. Her storyline is a near identical repeat of last season but worse. Just change the genre from friendship to romance. And replace Millie with Caleb. It naturally ended in episode 10 but the writers wanted to stretch this shit as long as humanely possible so here's more problems for the two to overcome. I could go on and on but to sum it up, priya x caleb is ass.

The Finale:

Hmm. Who should I root for?

The guy who just became relevant last episode?

Generic romance plotline guy?

Overpowered villainess?

I like Julia the most out of these three. But a complete Julia steamroll would be mid. Like if she won S1, I'd be cool with that. Because she fought tooth and nail to get into the final 4.

First boot to winner is a neat idea but I don't want it wasted on a bad character like Caleb.

Wayne exists.

Wait so Ripaxel is still together? Why was she so distant towards him in their elimination episode? So Ripper legitimately quit for no reason then? And didn't Chris say last season if you quit then you owe him a million bucks? Is that never coming back up?

Say it with me everyone, "This season is ass!"

Team Caleb not giving a shit about him is so real.

Why is Julia surprised that only MK wants to be on her team?

I don't know how many of you have seen it. But there's this fanmade show called Disventure Camp. And the finale challenge for that show is almost identical to this one. Not accusing anyone of copyright.

I just thought it was interesting to point out.

Considering Chase's pizza obsession that got him eliminated in season one. Shouldn't he have been the one to go back for pizza? This season can't even remember the minor details.

I thought they were gonna do bald julia for a second lol. Mullet Julia looks cool though.

Wayne won. My honest reaction: :/

I can't be the only person who thinks it's sus that Terry McGurrin. The white straight ally who likes hockey. Wrote the final episode where the white straight ally who likes hockey wins. :/

People have been comparing his win to TDI Owen.

Owen was a goofball but at least he had a S Tier social game and interacted with loads of ppl (cody, gwen, trent, heather, duncan, izzy, noah)

And he was decent at the challenges. (dodgeball challenge, eating challenge)

Wayne sucked in every challenge and only talked to Raj and sometimes Julia.

Honestly might be the 2nd worst winner this series has ever had. Mike still holds the crown for worst winner.

If they really wanted an underdog finalist they should've went with Damien. He was an underdog and actually did shit in the game. And they built a rivalry for him and Julia. Only to throw it away immediately.

Kinda wish these were the two pairings instead of Ripaxel and Praleb.

I know they teased a S3. But if it's the same level of quality as S2, I don't want it.

TD Revival Countdown

Day 53: Gerry and Pete – The Tennis Rivals

I liked the Tennis Rivals; they were an older team with some charm to their partnership. Too bad they didn’t last as long as I hoped they would.

When they weren’t making zingers at each other over their shared history, they were using their competitive determination to keep up with all the other teams. They showed no fear in the first Either/Or task, jumping ahead of Devin and Carrie to be the first team on the skywalk and made a decent placement at the first Chill Zone, coming in fourth. Too bad they couldn’t keep up the momentum by falling asleep in the taxi in Paris, and didn’t think to roll the cheese wheel like the other teams instead of carrying it.

I also remember them for the theories that Gerry was Shawn’s grandfather and Pete was Chris’s dad due to the similar appearances between them, but those were probably jokes more than anything.

I would be okay with seeing them compete again. They don’t have to get super far, but maybe they could stay in until the sixth or seventh elimination.

[pigspeetsandhooflikefeets]

glad that at least from the impression i’m getting from ur rr posts im not the only one who doesn’t like the season that much and for the same reason.. i literally only like like less than half of the cast 😭 and even those that i like i like so much less than other td characters, i need to rewatch but i feel like the characters coming in pairs was both a blessing and a curse bc it meant so many got basically no interactions with other characters from what i remember. the flop to slay ratio is dire

The show is overwhelmingly full of moments I think "I could have written this better" or "I think they would have benefited with more obstacles at this part of the race" or "who the fuck keeps screening dirty cops for game shows. I HATE cops in game shows. Game shows are MY baby's first obsession. RR is one of those shows were you're like "ugh I liked PARTS of it so if they had another season it'd be GREAT because they couldn't do that stuff again." Which is 100% sunk cost fallacy, do not be me.

The lack of attention and care when it came to elim order of the familial duos kinda irks me. With the exclusion of The Rockers (which btw, I was INCORRECTLY informed that they were more shippable. You guys ship THAT!?) all the non-sister family duos get canned in a row (Mother/Daughter, Twins, Stepbrothers, [Rockers], Father/Son). While there's a lot of downtime with non-elim eps, it's still PAINFUL how ship focused it is. HELL, Kitty falls into nothing but a shipper of Emma and Noah which. I'm so sorry but I skip all their scene and their musical sting oh my god barf city. (Earlier I was trying to make sick because I accidentally possibly ingested mold, and honestly a comp of them might have done it.)

So few characters interact with anyone outside of their teams and that kinda blows??? Like I swear this is the perfect show to have Aftermath type things instead of non-elim eps, where it's just "behind the scene" content, like what everyone actually did on their 17 hour flights. I wanna see The Tennis Rivals treating Junior like their darling innocent grandson, but then complain Dwayne doesn't work hard enough. The Vegans temporarily befriending The Adversity Twins for their dislike of dairy, but then going "actually nevermind" because they're just lactose intolerant. The Goths just glaring everyone down and Owen is like "You remind me of a girl I knew once! She was emo too!" and Crimson is internally screaming because she's NOT emo. She is GOTH. Also the fact Owen and Geoff NEVER talk is downright CRIMINAL. YOU GUYS KNOW EACH OTHER... TALK...

the tennis rivals should marry and make out already

pinned ✨rules & general info

short introduction first: I'm mod kirsty & this is my td writing blog! I specifically write for character x S/O in a bullet point format. I made this blog because I'm way too invested in cute scenarios for oc/canon ships.

rules

first and foremost, I will not write pedophilia, large age gaps, incest (including pseudo), transphobia, etc. just use common sense! I'm also not comfortable writing for age regression.

will write: angst, comfort, romance, platonic, polyamorous... honestly, as long as it's not in my will not write list, I'd be willing to give it a shot.

no nsfw, suggestive is fine but only with the canon adult characters. I will not be aging up the teen contestants for the sake for nsfw.

if not specified in the request, S/O will be written as gender neutral.

4 characters per request.

I reserve the right to delete any request that makes me uncomfortable or I feel I cannot do justice. the requester (if not anon) will be privately informed in these cases!

adult characters x S/O prompts will, of course, be written with an adult S/O in mind. same goes for teen characters being paired with a teen S/O.

you can request past requests/prompts with a different set of characters. just don't spam!

if you're rude in the askbox, you're getting blocked.

characters i write for

not writing: child/preteen characters, dramarama cast, pakhitew island cast, the fashion bloggers, characters that appear for less than 5 episodes. looking at you, staci & tennis rivals.

besides the above, I'll write for anyone. yes, that includes chris, chef, dwayne sr, and kelly.

if the character is in a canon relationship (and it's not a poly ask), they will be written as single or exclusively with S/O. no homewrecking here!

[thebrisingamen]

Ridonculous Race

Taking a break from the Island Runs to to RR!! Also just as Pokemon, since there are SO many teams. Under the cut

Starting with

THE GOTHS: Crimson & Ennui are both Meowstics, since they're the most in-sync with each other and the most supportive toward each other in the entire series. Thus, a Meowstic Set makes sense since Psychic types can learn Dark type moves, and Meowstic has seen and survived the horrors.

Bonus, their Bunny Loki would be a Bunnelby

THE ICE DANCERS: Josee would be a Weavile, graceful but scheming, while her partner Jacques would be a Gallade; also graceful, while more well-meaning, loyal to a fault.

THE BESTIES: Devin would be a Slowbro because he is useful but man is this man dumb how tf did he never notice Carrie liking him like c'mon bro its OBVIOUS. Carrie is a Goomy as I think she means well, but she came off as a little clingy.

THE SURFERS: Geoff makes his return, and he is a Surfing Pikachu still, joined by his surfer friend Brody, who is an Alolan Raichu. Again, both of them are pretty chill and pick on vibes easily enough, but can get caught up in their own egos from time to time.

THE POLICE CADETS: Sanders is a Growlithe and MacArthur I made a Herdier as Sanders seems to be thoughtful and figure things out, While MacArthur is very loud and charges ahead without thinking things through all the time. By the time things wrap, they would both evolve into their final evolutions, to showcase their growth.

THE DATERS/THE HATERS: Stephanie and Ryan are pretty much constantly arguing and breaking up/making up, plus are self-proclaimed gym rats, so I made them Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee; constant rivals, working out, working well together but also easily becoming each others enemies, like they do in the show.

THE TENNIS PROS: I made Pete a Gumshoos and Gerry a Crabrawler. Honestly, I just picked pokemon that looked like old men for them, since that was their schtick.

THE SISTERS: These two took a while, since I wanted a related set of Pokemon. I eventually settled on making Emma a Gardevoir and Kitty a Kirlia, as both girls are reported to be smart but can get overwhelmed by emotion

FATHER AND SON: I couldn't figure out what to do with Dwayne for the longest time, until I settled on Delibird, because although it is cute, it could be considered a little goofy, dorky and older. It is why I made Jr a Shinx; younger pokemon, but a completely opposite type, to explain his disconnection with his father at times.

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER: Since they were clearly Kardashian parodies, I had to go for wealthy, fancy pokemon. They are also the least adept, so I went with Normal types for them. I made Kelly a Cinccino and Taylor a Delcatty.

THE FASHION BLOGGERS: I made them similar types or similar looking types of Pokemon, that had a lot to do with Fashion. Jen I made a Leavanny, which is noted to make its own clothes and the judgement of the middle evolution never left them. Tom I made a Lurantis, to differ him a bit but also keep him stylish.

THE GENIUSES: Obviously, both are psychic types. Ellody I made an Indeedee due to the tireless amount of work she puts into everything, and I made Mary a Farigiraf, as clearly the TD team design wanted her to be weird, but she's actually pretty cool; she's also more willing to adapt to other things, unlike her partner.

THE VEGANS: I made Laurie a Bayleef, as she seemed ready to throw down, especially after the food challenge and Bayleef is noted to kind of give of a vibe of aggression while being a plant pokemon. Miles I made a Lilligant, as once again another plant pokemon, whose performance can be quickly outstripped by others.

THE LARPers: Wow another one joke team. Anyways, to kind of match the vibes, I made Leonard a Medicham and Tammy and Escavalier. They were there so briefly, it was hard to think what others would fit.

THE ADVERSITY TWINS: I made Mickey a Feebas and Jay a Magikarp, as both ugly fish are portrayed as going through adversity and once they evolve, they do become better at surviving everything.

THE REALITY TV PROS: Owen and Noah have evolved from their stints on Total Drama to a Xatu and a Snorlax. See that post for their original pokemon choice.

THE ROCKERS: Spud is almost dumber than Devin, so I made him a Slowpoke, and Rock I made a Luxio; kind of in the middle of being useful but not too much.

Finally

THE STEP BROTHERS: Chet is a Pikachu-Colored Pichu and Lorenzo is a Spiky Eared Pichu. I specifically chose these Event pokemon because they were presented as a pair and are literally nearly identical, which the Step-Brothers, in personality, definitely are. They grow closer through the challenge and end up becoming friends, but enemies at first.

Bonus:

DON, THE HOST: Persian, as he's also part of the original 151 like Chris, but he's a much less successful host as we only meet/see him in RR, but he's got better stats. More than likely because he invested his time/money better

BLAINELY: I don't care for her enough to give her a pokemon. I guess she'd be a weezing or grimer, considering? Poison Type, anyways
