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 >_>;

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
28) Sadie - She scares me a little, and didn't have much of a personality.

27) Katie - Basically just a thin, tan version of Sadie.

26) Beth - A sweet girl, but she's a little dull...

25) Owen - GET OFF THE STAGE! THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE HERE ASIDE FROM YOU!

24) Harold - (shrugs) Neutral.

23) Justin - So... empty... But he was funny back in season one XD

22) Eva- I don't get all the Eva hate around here, she's pretty funny.

21) Duncan - He used to be ranked much higher before he cheated on Courtney. Not to mention he's always been a jerk.

20) LeShawna - She needs to listen to her own advice and get some R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

19) Ezekiel - I'm neutral towards him.

18) Geoff - He was so cutely funny in TDI, but got a little confusing in TDA and TDWT.

17) Bridgette - She's cool, but not very funny.

16) Blaineley - Crazy talk-show host time!

15) Josh - Man, Josh is awesome 8D

14) Heather - She's still the main anatagonist, she put the drama in "Total Drama".

13) Chris - Slipped down the rankings because of his sociopathy levels, but still entertaining.

12) Cody - He would be higher if his personality didn't rely so much on everyone else's.

11) Chef - Doesn't show up that much, but always makes me laugh.

10) DJ - Not much in the humor department, but he's such a sweet, unlucky guy...

9) Sierra - I tried not to like her, but she's just too funny!

8) Trent - Poor guy. His girlfriend dumped him on national TV, that's harsh.

7) Gwen - Slipped up agaaaaaaain, but she's still cool.

6) Lindsay - Aw, how can you not like Linds? She's so cute and hilarious! Not to mention she gets an IQ boost in TDWT.

5) Izzy - She's craaaaaaazy.

4) Alejandro - Lady Gaga approved! He's so smug all the time, and I love the way he insults people without directly insulting them.

3) Tyler - Tyleeeeeeerrrrr, oh, you fail at sports but you win at hilarious expressions :'D

2) Courtney - Courtney's brave, honorable, ambitious, determined, confident, intelligent and tough. These traits may not sit well with her fellow contestants, but to me, Courtney's a role model, proving that you don't have to be like everyone else to succeed in life, as long as you try your hardest no matter what.

1) Noah - Noah is possibly my favorite fictional character of all time. His one-liners are the greatest, I love his character design and most of all, I adore his personality. What I love about Noah is that he actually has hidden depth beyond the other characters, I can actually see him leading a life outside Total Drama. His award-winning zingers, quips and retorts never fail to impress me, and what I really admire is the fact that he's not afraid to speak his mind, if you insult him, he will insult you back, no matter how tough you look. He knows who he is and doesn't care what you think of him.

World Tour Episode Rankings
8) 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.

7) The Am-AH-Zon Race - Again. Bleh. It felt like a filler episode.

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

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

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

3) 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.

2) 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.

1) 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

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.

Duncan/Courtney - "Troll!" "Witch!" "Jerk!" "...Wanna make-out?" "...Fine, but make it fast, I have a student council election to win." Unfortunately, my dislike of Duncan has lowered my interest in this.

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

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

♠ 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.

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?

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.
