I immediately fell in love with Rock when i saw his first appearance with Spud💛💛 like. Look at him. So cute... Aww awwww... Spud's cute too.. they're cute 💞
I wanna do something new, so here's the start of something I'm gonna call the
Total Drama art style yapping session
Chapter 1: Jaundice
An off-handed term I use to describe East and Southeast Asian characters with a frightenly yellow skintone, derived from one of the symptoms of aforementioned disease.
Basic context: yellow skin on Asians, for those unaware, is typically an offensive caricature that is tied to racist ideas that formed at some point in the 19th century
It was a disturbingly common aspect of Total Drama character design that perplexes me to this very day for multiple reasons, but there's one that I wanna focus on
See, other shows within the same era of TD colored Asian characters similarly. Not all shows did this, mind you, but it was enough to be noticeable. If these shows lasted long enough or came back for any reason, any Asian character that returned with it was color corrected accordingly.
Total Drama is strange in this regard because they actually went backwards. In the beginning there was Heather (and if you wanna take Todd Kaufmann at his word, Katie) and they look perfectly fine.
Then, after 2 sets of contestants with no Asian characters in their cast, they come back in the show's first (and only canon) spin-off and well, i'll let you diagnose the condition
While I very much doubt that Fresh TV were being maliciously racist, this certainly wasn't a freak accident from them, either. basically most other background characters were also given a shade like this. this was a new standard for character design they adopted going forward, bleeding into the baby show as well
what gets even crazier is that this almost ended up applying to the reboot as well. we've all seen the early concepts for MK at this point and how much of a lemon she was. This design managed to make it into the initial airing for the first reboot season in Italy before she was changed a mere week later and stayed that way for every subsequent release of the reboot duology
what prompted Fresh to adopt this color palette in the first place, why it subsequently took them roughly a decade to release it was weird, and why they had this realization right as they started releasing reboot material is beyond me, but i'm glad they've seemingly abandoned this design philosophy and that we hopefully won't be seeing this again
and don't get me started on how yellow MK somehow co-existed with Chase

What is ur fav tdrr ships?
I spent too long drafting this and even longer doing it on mobile (switched to pc because of photos) so now it's your problem have fun
Rockers x Stepbrothers
So basically Rockspud (Spock? Idk I like both), Spet, Spenzo, Check / Rocket / Rochet (?? Help), and Rockenzo (🥰🥰🥹🥰🥹🥹😍😍🥰🥰)
If you were expecting Stepcest, get off my blog. Right now.
I fucking love these guys you have no idea. They didn't interact with each other at all until their elimination when Chet invited them to play video games and honestly that one interaction makes me want more you don't get it.
I call this cabal "Polyoutbacks" on the grounds that they both got eliminated in Down and Outback which by the way justice for the Rockers they got done dirty.
(I expected to have more to say about these guys... they're my favorite quadrio what can I say!)
Tomques, Jensee, Jacsee, Macsee
Damn Josee you get bitches.
Tomques and Jensee happened because of fanart.
Jacsee happened because of fanart and canon.
Macsee happened because of fanart, canon, AND I'm an absolute SUCKER for enemies to lovers.
Devennui
Ennui please goth this man and turn him into your bitch Carrie doesn't deserve him
And on that note...
Devin x Ryan (<- bad at ship names)
devin please steal stephanie away from ryan and live happily ever after Stephanie is crazy and Carrie is Carrie
(For what it's worth the Carrie and Ryan friendship is surprisingly wholesome.. 🥹)
Mitty
Omg hetgem hiii!!! (or Yuri, depending on the headcanon (my headcanon btw 🎉))
Shout-out to Kitty for defending Mickey against Taylor and shout-out to Mickey for tanking the ant bites for Kitty. I think it's absolutely atrocious for FreshTV to dangle the Adversity Twins and Sisters dynamic in front of us for an episode and then proceed to never bring it up again in favor of Reality TV Pros.
They ACTUALLY do that by the way like Emma just destroys Mickey's confidence. That's actually FreshTV killing Mickey I'm Terry McGurrin real /silly
Chiles
Another hetgem except it's fueled entirely by my love for both characters and the fact that it's opposites attract (something I'm also a big sucker for)
edits by @rockstar-rocks (found ur deviantart account 😈😈😈😈😈)
Goths
yet another hetgem except just watch a scenepack of them and you'll see the vision
MacSanders (Police Cadets)
most everything I could say about them has been already been covered by both the above and below entries
What I WILL say... Is that they maybe should've had MacArthur start on her character development sooner. Like not go full force into it, save that for when she uhhh accidentally breaks Sanders' arm but y'know just a good supplement of foreshadowing.
But y'know what I can excuse that because the Cadets are great. They're great finalists, great characters... Sanders is just like me fr 🥹
Mary x Ellody (Geniuses)
Anyways this was the below entry I was talking about
"... How does- these are just- The Geniuses are the third boot they don't have anything-" THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK
I have watched Mediterranean Homesick Blues a million times over in my HEAD and I can guarantee you they're the most ALIKE yet NOT ALIKE duo I've seen you just have to look at just one sceneJust ONE scene and FILL IN the blanks
EMPHASIS ON FILL IN
mary's chill. she's the one who suggests they wing it. ellody's very not chill. matter of fact, the moment when mary says to wing it... listen closely...
"I NEVER WING! I DON'T KNOW HOW!"
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 BOOM HOLY DYNAMIC
aside from that one difference they're practically the same character but you could BUILD ON THIS!!! YOU COULD BUILD ON THIS IT'S ALL ABOUT THE POTENTIAL. THE POTENTIAL FOR CONFLICT, BONDING, THE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT THE BRHRHRHRHRHRHGDHDHDG
YOU COULD PRY THE GENIUSES FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS
AND EVEN THEN GOOD LUCK BECAUSE I WILL HAVE GLUED THEM TO MY COLD DEAD HANDS
honorable mentions
Nowen (Reality TV Pros), Daddon, Lordy, Vegans, Jen x Ellody, Ennui x Rock (once again bad at ship names), Crimitty, Devin was crushing on Rock in my Tomodachi Life island at one point and what the hell. Sure. That too.
la di-da-di, we like to party
we don't cause trouble, we don't bother nobody
