Um, hey there, just another generic Total Drama Island fan, at your service. I just thought I'd become a Wikia member so that I could help out around the wiki and participate in some of the Talk pages, the other members haven't thrown me off the Dock Of Shame yet so I guess I'm doing alright!

About Me:

 * 1) I'm a girl (big surprise huh?)
 * 2) I find almost everything funny, the depressing parts of life are easier when you can laugh about them.
 * 3) I spend most of my time drawing, writing, panicking about tests I haven't studied for or watching TV like a mindless zombie.
 * 4) As you can tell by the above, I tend to add random comments and then put strikes through them the Matrix is real so I can pretend I never said them.
 * 5) I avoid conflicts and arguements at all costs, I'm basically Switzerland, completely neutral, if things get ugly I lay low until everything blows over.
 * 6) I'm an animal lover, if I see a cat or a dog I'm automatically inclined to try and pet them (yes, that has ended badly for me at times -_-;)
 * 7) Even though I love nature I'm also a TV addict, if you make a reference to an old tv show/anime/movie/etc, 70% of the time I'll know what you're talking about... as you can probably tell this does not bode well for my grades >_>;
 * 8) I'm easily impressed and tend to think the best of people, so if I compliment you about something, I'm actually complimenting you, not sucking up.
 * 9) I'm friendly, so if you wanna talk, feel free to post something on my talk page! =D
 * 10) I hate it when people steal my jokes, pictures, stories, ideas, etc. It happens so often and it makes me sick. Come up with your own things! Don't steal mine!
 * 11) I undo a lot of edits, but I ALWAYS have a good reason to do so.
 * 12) Even though I'm generally in a good mood, I don't tolerate vandals or people who post absurd information and trivia just to get their edit counts up, and I will speak up if I have something to say to you. But as long as you don't do anything bad, you'll be in my good books =)

^^^ Um, well, I don't really ship it, but it's kind of obvious...

Signatures
A lot of users seem to like recording their old signatures, for memories I guess, so I gave in to peer pressure decided I might as well do the same. Don't think I'll be changing it that much though.

Thoughts On Total Drama Island:
Total Drama Island doesn't air where I live so I, like many others, rely on Youtube for new episodes. It's weird, I saw these ads for TDI on Cartoonnetwork all the time when I was little, back then I thought it was gonna be some cliche teen comedy so I never got into it. a few years later I heard about it again and finally decided to watch the first episode. You can guess what happened then, heh. Total Drama is kind of a change of pace for me, I usually watch shows targetted towards older audiences, this is the first time I've been part of a fanbase that's in the same age group as me!

Anyway, I loved the first season but didn't watch much of the second since most of my favourite characters didn't compete in it and the rest had their personalities seriously messed up (Trent. Duuuuude.) but I still love all the Aftermath segments, if not just for the random moments where the camera pans over to Noah and Cody reacting to stuff or looking confused.

Character Rankings
I actually like all the characters, each stereotype possesses a certain charm that I hold a degree of affection for, but here's my list from "least-liked" to "favorites".


 * Sadie - I'm sorry, but her voice and character design scare me a little...


 * Katie - Oddly, I like her more than Sadie, maybe it's the ditzyness.


 * Beth - I'm sorry Beth, but I really don't find you interesting...


 * Gwen - "Tough but nice Gothic rebel who cares about the environment"? *yawns* Seen it a thousand times. Gwen, Sam Manson of Danny Phantom will one day sue you.


 * Eva - She's funny, but her anger issues went through the roof after TDA.


 * LeShawna - I always forget her, sorry... -_-;


 * Harold - I don't really follow his brand of humor, but I love his, "GOSH!" dynamic.


 * Justin - He's funny and yet... so... empty... For some reason, I like his season one personality better than his TDA one.


 * Owen - His TDWT persona is amusing, but anyone who approves of cheating isn't a friend of mine.


 * Alejandro - An entertaining antagonist, but I look forward to seeing him get punished.


 * Bridgette - She's cool, but not much in the humor department.


 * DJ - Ditto.


 * Tyler - You used to be in my top threeeeeeeeee.... What happened? Oh yeah. Greece's Pieces.


 * Josh - Cat-fight! Rawr!


 * Ezekiel - I had no opinion of him in TDI, but I love his subplot in TDWT.


 * Chris - He's just so spoilt at times you have to laugh!


 * Geoff - Awww, he was so cutely hilarious in TDI! "Hey there duuuudes!"


 * Izzy - She'd be ranked higher if she had managed to keep her hilarious season one personality, and I miss Team E-scope!


 * Blaineley - Entertaining.


 * Chef - He never fails to amuse.


 * Trent - Come on guys, show the poor guy some love.


 * Duncan - ...What?


 * Sierra - Depending on the episode, she's either crazily funny or just plain crazy... And when you watch those rare moments where she isn't near Cody, she seems like a really normal person!


 * Cody - Since World Tour started, he's just been so boring. I TAKE IT BACK. That scene between him and Alejandro in Rapa-phooey! made the entire season WORTH IT.


 * Heather - You know the drill, put the "drama" in Total Drama, blah, blah.


 * Courtney - Poor, poor Courtney...


 * Clone!Cody - Best. Entrance. Ever. Why'd he have to explode? WHY!?


 * Billy the Intern - What? He's so cute!


 * Lindsay - Aw, how can you not like Linds?


 * Noah - I loved him in TDI and I loved him even more in TDWT, Noah is, and always will be, my favorite Total Drama character of all time.

World Tour Episode Rankings
Again, least liked to favorites:
 * Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better - Bleh. The Noah/Bridgette moment was weird, the Owen jokes were either gross or stupid, everyone acted out of character and the song was just strange when all muffled like that. The only part I enjoyed was Team CIRRRRH winning for once.


 * Aftermath: Revenge Of The Telethon - ... What happened? The first one rocked, but this one was so boring. The guests barely had any lines, the Genius!Izzy subplot just ended and no "That's Gonna Leave A Mark" segment? Boo. Although the songs were pretty good.


 * The Am-AH-Zon Race - It felt like a filler episode, Cody scared me a little in this one. The song was oddly catchy though, and I epipened Gwen was funny.


 * Aftermath Aftermayhem - It relied too much on physical jokes and injuries, rather than the wit and charm the other episodes use. I really feel like they missed out on a lot of stuff, like the interviews for example.


 * Niagra Brawls - As someone who doesn't really ship Coderra, I was bored throughout this one.


 * Greece's Pieces - Too much drama, not enough humor. The song was awkward, I now hate Gwen, Courtney sobbing broke my heart, the punch scene was out of character, boring, predictable and unoriginal, I felt like kicking Cody for disobeying Team orders, the Ezekiel cameo was bland, Alejandro was lame, the non-elimination made everything feel stupid and pointless and I felt like smacking Tyler for glaring at Owen at the beginning of the episode. On the bright side, I loved Sierra catching the hint and telling Cody to stay in one spot and the way Courtney hisses, "You are so el-im-in-at-ed" was remarkable.


 * Walk LikeAn Egyptian - I'm counting both parts as one, the writers did an amazing job, especially since this was a pilot episode, and pilots usually stink, no offense Chef.


 * Broadway, Baby! - Had it's moments, the visuals for "What's Not To Love?" were brilliant.


 * Newf Kids on the Rock - Funny! The song was catchy. But the episode itself was boring...


 * Picnic at Hanging Rock - I'm conflicted, on one hand, both crazy!Cody and the kangaroo were hilarious and I liked Sierra's normalcy here. On the other hand, the shipping really went insane, the Gwen/Cody moment just came out of nowhere and weirded me out, I don't really think Cody's vendetta against Duncan is as fair as Courtney's and I didn't really get the song... sorry.


 * Chinese Fake Out - Quite funny, the song was weird but Blaineley's speech was brill. Really disliked Cody here though, he was really boring compared to everyone else.


 * Slap Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan - Team CIRRRRH and Team Amazon's commercials were hilarious, the pandas were great and the beginning of the episode was awesome.


 * Slap Revolution - "Cody's got a tiny sausage!" That's all I need to say xD


 * Aftermath: Bridgette Over Troubled Water - The mid-song conversation was interesting, Eva was funny and I loved the montages xD


 * Jamaica Me Sweat - Funny! Especially that bit with the walrus! The backgrounds were really beautiful too.


 * The Ex-Files - Loved seeing Duncan, Alejandro and Tyler getting hurt, really sympathized with Courtney's bitterness, loved the song and the visuals, and I was glad it was a normal elimination.


 * African Lying Society - Whoo! World Tour's finally looking up again! Nice to see Cody's familiar territory of getting injured, he's so boring otherwise.


 * Can't Help Falling In Louvre - Noah playing fetch with Sasquatchanakwa was hilarious, and yet one of the cutest non-romantic things I've ever seen on Total Drama, I'm proud of how much work Noah did in this episode and everyone managed to be hilarious, even the bear xD and Lindsay and Tyler's farewell was so sweet...


 * I See London... - *wipes away single tear* Glorious. I spent all those days worrying about what horrible thing would happen to Noah in this episode, but it was fantastic, the Coderra was minor, creepy and unromantic, just the way I like it! Owen seeking Noah's approval was sweet, Noah took a leadership role and had so much focus on him, he ruled this episode, he really did, and he had one of the most dignified TDWT exits I've ever seen. Thank you writers, this means so much to me.

Pairings:
I'm very open-minded, if I think two characters look good together then I ship them, no matter who they may be, though I draw the line at Chris/camper pairings. So if you have very conservative beliefs, I recommend you skip this section.

♥ Support ♥
Gwen/Trent - Aw, the old official couple, it was adorable.. until TDA came along that is.

Noah/Cody - Not in the actual show, but there are some pretty good fanfics out there.

Justin/Noah- I'm as shocked as you are O_O but I read this reeeeaaaally good fic, and now it interests me.

Alejandro/Noah - ... *sobs* I don't know whyyyyyy

Tyler/Lindsay - "Lindsay! Check it out! Handstands! Whup!" (CRASH) "That's nice Dave!" I love these two :'D and their moments during Can't Help Falling In Louvre were so sweet that they gave me cavities.

Alejandro/Heather - Evil love! They'd be the Mr. and Mrs. Smith of the Total Drama World >:D

Courtney/Trent - Say whaaaa...? I think they have the potential to become a really sweet couple, if they ever got along that is >.>

I love Courtney and Trent!!!! Cdisney3 I am one tough cookie! Dunwen 4EVER! 19:28, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

♠ Neutral ♠
Noah/Izzy - Used to love it but now... Maybe they'd be better off as friends.

Harold/LeShawna - Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not.

Noah/Heather - Um. Well, I guess I can kind of see how this started, but I don't really go for it.

Noah/Katie - Cute, but I don't see it working in-universe.

Duncan/Gwen - (shrugs) I don't see what all the fuss is about.

∅ Oppose ∅
Noah/Bridgette - I don't see the appeal here.

Cody/Beth - Boring...

Chris/Lindsay - No. Just... No.

Fanfics
I'm working on this multi-chapter AU about the TDI cast attending a boarding school in Canada called, "Total Dramatarian Academy", the story focuses on all the characters instead of just one or two and as a result it's pretty long. Several characters will get a day in the spotlight but the others will all be present throughout. Here are some facts about the fic:


 * It starts with Cody transferring to the school from Upper Crust College (Yes, that is his real school) so the first chapter focuses on him.


 * The fic is mainly general/humor. There isn't much romance or drama other than the occasional teen crisis.


 * The school is separated into main school buildings (classes, library, gym, etc) and the students all reside in dorms.


 * The story operates on canon. So the couples will only be official ones such as Duncan/Courtney, Trent/Gwen, Owen/Izzy and Tyler/Lindsay. However, I'll toss in subtle hints at various other pairings such as D/G, N/I and even N/C. (I'm very open-minded remember?)


 * Even though everyone interacts randomly Principle McLean splits up the students when he wants them to participate in projects or even classes, during these times they'll be separated into the ever-so familiar Screaming Gophers and Killer Bass.


 * I cannot be more clear about this: There are NO original characters in this. Only the twenty-two campers, Chris, Chef and the school board. Interns and one-shot characters will sometimes appear as staff members as well.

...I have no idea where I should post the fic, here on my user page? In a blog? In another wiki? A little help please?

Random Musing

 * As much as I love the comedy aspect of Total Drama I can't help but think the characters would have been even more interesting if the show had been more like a normal humour/slice of life series, rather than a full on comedy where someone gets eliminated every week. The characters here have alot more potential and personality than most shows have. It would have been cool to see how they act in a non-competitive environment. That's one of the reasons I love Haute Camp-ture, because we got to see everyone (other than the final five) acting like normal teens and actually being civil towards each other (... Except Courtney and Harold that is).
 * I sometimes wish we had more information on the other characters rather than just Duncan, Owen, LeShawna, Gwen and Courtney. Take Noah's biography, he's got eight siblings and he's the youngest and presumably the smartest among them, wouldn't it have been neat if we could have seen them? I mean, at least in a "Video Message From Home" thing?
 * World Tour really changed things didn't it? It made me love Tyler and Geoff, it made me love Noah even more than I originally did and it made me start liking Heather and Owen. The only negative changes were that it made me like Gwen and Bridgette a little less and knocked Cody clear out of my favorite five (I just don't like how creepy and perverted he is towards Gwen, not to mention he's a major hypocrite towards Sierra).
 * Sometimes I wish the wiki had a stupidity filter, I mean, I keep seeing users post the dumbest of things, and undo the best of edits, just to get their edit count up, and they only get warning rather than bans since they aren't really "vandalising", just "being silly", and then five seconds later they're doing it AGAIN and it makes me facepalm a little since we can't report them or anything, just keep reverting their edits until an admin comes online and gets them to stop...
 * The wiki needs more love! Seriously, there's so much hate going on D: we should just stand in a circle and sing, "The World Is Awesome", except we could call it, "Total Drama Is Awesome" instead, and change the lyrics and... I'm getting carried away, aren't I?
 * Fret, fret, fret. I wanna start posting pics/comics on DA D: but the problem is... I draw with pencils, I'm not used to using my tablet (in all honesty, I hardly even remember where I kept it, it's collecting dust in a drawer somewhere...) I could just use a scanner, but... then I'd have to ask my mum to drive me to the place and the dude behind the counter would look at me with an expression that says, "cartoon characters? Really?" and I'd be all, "Stfu, don't judge me >.>" and bleeeeh. Too much work...
 * I bet the download for "I See London..." will be Noah imitating Sierra XD

Random Musing Version Two, Now With Pictures!


I think I might be hallucinating, but every time Noah laughs, I see this cute little fang right before his mouth ends at his right cheek. I know that's impossible, since when he talks during zoom ins, his teeth are in a perfect line, but as I look at this I can see it, it's like RIGHT THERE. Am I going crazy or something?



This. This picture right here. This is the greatest Cody scene I've seen all season. Now, on to my insane spazzing: HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP HOOOLLLYYYY CRAAAAPPP CODY'S KNEELING IN ALEJANDRO'S LAP AND HUGGING HIM AND SMILING AT HIM WITH THE MOST HILARIOUS FACE I'VE EVER SEEN HIM WEAR AND HOLY CRAAAAAPPPP! Quick! Someone hide this before the Gwen/Cody and Noah/Cody shippers find this! THEY'LL KILL ALEJANDRO!

Songs I Relate To Total Drama

 * I keep hearing Coderra whenever I listen to certain songs:
 * Cody singing, "Vacation" while Sierra stands at his door.
 * Sierra singing, "Paparazzi" while Cody tries to escape from her. For some reason I keep on imaging Noah, Trent and Tyler wearing black tuxes and standing in a line against a black backdrop, snapping their fingers to the tune and preventing Cody from leaving. Weird eh?
 * Sierra singing, "You Belong With Me" while watching Cody try to flirt with Gwen. When I imagine the video, the friendly window exchanges and bench conversations are taken out, Cody just occasionally stops to chat with Noah about Gwen (Noah just kind of rolls his eyes and goes back to reading) while Sierra spies on him from a nearby bush.
 * It's weird, I ship Duncan/Courtney but I keep on hearing Duncan/Gwen:
 * Duncan and Courtney being in "Sk8r Boi", with Gwen being the girl who wins in the end.
 * Gwen singing, "Bad Romance" to Duncan.
 * Courtney singing, "Take A Bow" to Duncan after finding out he kissed Gwen.
 * And on a more normal basis:
 * Trent singing, "The Man Who Can't Be Moved".
 * Tyler singing, "Uptown Girl" about Lindsay while she gushes about Alejandro.
 * Courtney singing, "Defying Gravity".
 * Heather singing, "Alejandro" ... Original, aren't I?


 * Justin singing, "This Is Why I'm Hot".
 * And now, the stuff that makes even me go, "Whhaaaaaaattt":
 * Justin and Cody singing, "Jizz In My Pants", AHAHAHAHAHAHHA-No, seriously, doesn't make sense but I can picture the video so perfectly.
 * Duncan singing, "I'm On A Boat" I DON'T KNOOOOOWWW.
 * Ezekiel and Harold singing, "Just Two Guys" ... (shrugs)
 * Harold, Cody and Ezekiel singing, "Cool Guys Don't Look At Explosions".
