Welcome to the World of Total Drama Arms Race! Pt 9: The Awakening, and the Kansas Kommandos!
(Lil Note, only Farah and Plato-1 belong to me, rest are OCs of friends and Fan show characters that I enjoyed/ given permission to draw. )
The Reboot cast (which get their own little posts for) were miracles in more ways than one. And in a way, a burden for what they heralded. Noah and Heather, along with many of the contestants working for the Coalition, were able to not only heal their hearts, but grow back into the Heroes they were meant to be. Either through their minds once again awakened to what they should be, to mended hearts acknowledging their pains, to the weight of the world slowly being latched off their backs, those kids rekindled a chance for the blessed contestants, especially Noah and Heather, to become a beacon for humanity.
One, that was tested not only months later, when after a gruel trial for the seven themselves, they proved humanity’s worth, and begun The Awakening.
Thousands to hundreds of thousands of people begun to suddenly receive blessed weapons just like the Blessed themselves. Children to elderly, janitors to generals, criminals to peacekeepers of the Coalition, anyone and everyone was eligible, especially those who had the mindset and capacity to grow as people.
It was a confusing and terrifying first few weeks of course, many either unsure what to do or went to hiding, some even staged robberies or more egregious acts that called upon the blessed to intervene. But it simmered out when Courtney took control and opened up recruitment sites for joining the Coalition. And soon, the numbers piled up, many seeking to become the heroes that the Blessed inspired them to be, either through the fires of battle, the soul of the Magus Sect the hands of Construction, or the soft words of Empathy.
But the Coalition wasn’t the only one. For the Syndicate, Max’s faction the Maxwellian Municipality, and Izzy’s band of resistance soon joined in the hiring spree.
Now Noah, Heather, and the seven must guide humanitie’s true test of virtue, and usher an age to calm this tumultuous storm. For once it is done, and humanity ends up willingly united for a common goal.
Then, and only then, will the Legion face the defiance of this world.
Join in next time for a lore dive into the world of Arms Race post siege, its major factions. And how battered the world is, yet still chugs along!
☀️Tom Is The Impostor Among Us☀️ - Total Drama Viewer Reacts to Disventure Camp Season 1 Episode 3 “Mazed And Confused”
Sorry for the wait. I have wanted to get this out sooner. But I had work, + I caught a cold. It’s not fun. Still doing this though.
Let’s Jump Right In:
"Now go find Ellie"
And right off the bat, we get this person again.
Who are you?! Why do you appear so randomly?!
I don't think you have to watch for Grett controlling you Gabby, I think you have to watch for your twin here.
"I'm not in the best position, but at least I didn't get votes."
That's one way to look at it.
"I have an immunity totem, if you ever feel in danger, give me a signal in the challenge and I'll secretly pass it on to you."
No Gabby you can't just do that!
Grett's gonna boot you!
"Would you really do that for me? Why?"
"Well, you were the only person that was nice to me on that team."
Yeah she was. Ellie's cool.
Make it to the merge so you can be besties!
"It's a shame we couldn't agree on yesterday's elimination."
YEAH. THAT WAS ALL YOUR FAULT.
"Ladies, we did what we had to do! That punk had a few screws loose."
Nick...
Okay, in terms of my take for best girls: Grett, obviously, stan the bad bitch. Gabby's also warming up to me and I like her story of her being outcasted for her personality.
Best boys though is kinda up in the air. I'm leaning towards Nick and... I guess Jake. But DAMN did you frustrate me Nick!
But I'll forgive stupidity for one episode. It was a 'stupid for the sake of the plot' situation.
"The can't happen again. The alliance must stay strong and united."
Okay are they gonna work together now?
"Yesterday before the elimination, the alliance was talking and we couldn't come to a decision."
Oh so you DID talk. And you STILL didn't work together to protect your teammate!
SURE.
"For some bloody reason, Lill was defending Will and Ashley preferred to throw her vote on Alec. I obviously went Will. As much as I hate to admit it, Lill is being a bit annoying..."
Nick, you better take that back.
I mean, I get it, maybe he doesn't know how these sorts of things work with his homelife and all that, but he's gotta learn.
"I went fishing!"
"But Jake and Tom went fishing, they took all the fishing gear."
She fished with her mouth like a bear.
And I said this last time, there's other ways to fish besides rods. Buckets. Nets. You can make cages.
THOSE FISH DON'T LOOK SAFE TO EAT
Tom's like "That's funny, all my teammates suddenly died of poison. Oh well, guess I'm in the merge!"
I mean he's a sus ninja hiding shit, he could be a serial killer.
"We have to eat them before the challenge."
*Gets an Inside Out 2 Trailer Ad*
I don't like that context!! I'm gonna be honest!!
OH GOOD GOD WHY IS THE SKIN STILL ON IT AND NOT IN THE POT?!?!
Guys, I don't think you should eat Grandma's cooking if you value your lives.
Honestly, I forgot Miriam was here XD
"I wanted to ask you if you're okay. You've been kind of upset since we got here and-"
"Whatever happened to minding your own business?!"
Okay chill! He was trying to be nice to you!
Come on, he's been a very sweet guy so far and is giving you all a chance. What's there to snap about?
We'll see how well that statement ages. (Thanks for making me paranoid Caleb)
Plot twist: Jake and Tom are both secretly evil. Tom is a serial killer. Jake was a prominent bully back in high school.
"If it weren't for my retirement money, I wouldn't be here."
I'm not an elder. How ass is retirement funds?
"Do you think writing on your hand is a good substitute for a notebook?"
"I know Gabby said she was cool with me using my notebook, but I kinda lied to her so she wouldn't kill me, so I want to take that extra precaution. You know?"
"Today we will test your ability to face your worst fears!"
Oh it's Phobia Factor from Total Drama.
That was actually one of my favorite challenges from that show's season. This should be a fun episode.
And if you want to know what my phobia would be, it would be either walking around dead plants or riding a roller coaster. I HATE roller coasters.
"We've been doing a bit of research on each of you and I have to say we've found some interesting stuff."
So you doxxed.
Yes, what else would you like to confess to the police?
"And since we're here doxing, Grett has a body count, Gabby has a split personality, Tom wears makeup underneath his mask and he wears the mask to not be bullied about it... shall I continue?"
Course they use Queen Grett as the example... but she looks naked with the image cropped like that and I DON'T want that in my head!
(I know this is technically adult animation. I don't care. If I want porn I'll ask for it. And I'm not asking for it.)
Grett's scared of the dark! I knew it!
Queen may slay, but at the end of the day, she's got embarrassing stuff like this. We stan it.
And they use Dan as a bad example. Also slay.
I'm realizing I'm so MEAN to Dan. I'm always bullying him in these posts. And I have, literally, NO reason for it. Man didn't do shit!
And I am pissing off all Dan stans that see these posts.
"The first team to reach the other side gets immunity and a reward!"
We're not gonna hear what the reward is this time?
Oh we do see it. Okay.
"Waterproof Tent" I SURE HOPE IT DOESN'T RAIN NEXT EPISODE!!
Next Episode:
"I'm sure these scares are harmless"
"For your first challenge, you must watch EVERY Five Nights At Freddy's Installment!"
The subtitle XD
"Fear of Sharks; You must swim in a pond with a shark for five minutes!"
I would not do that. I ain't losing a limb!
*Ellie clicks the check*
*Spawns an ad on USAA*
OH NO! THEY LIED!!!
Ellie's real fear is her finances XD
"Fear of Cemeteries; You must go alone and spend ten minutes in the Tipiskaw cemetery!"
That's not too bad. I could do that.
The subtitle just says "What" during his dialogue, I'm dead XD
"Tipiskaw Cemetery? Thought this was the wilderness."
It's for the fish you killed. And whatever other wildlife you killed.
"Maybe it's a pet graveyard."
Gabby just said my thoughts. This is how many times now?!
Stop being so relatable, Gabby! It's scary!
You backed out?!
BOO. VOTE HIM OFF.
Okay THAT is far more terrifying! Come on!
"Don't look at him. Just close your eyes."
"It'll make your death far more peaceful, sweetie! I promise ya!"
"Sharks are harmless."
Alright I love ya again Nick.
There actually are some harmless sharks.
Just be thankful Chris McLean isn't hosting this.
"I feel bad for letting the team down..."
"I wish I could do it, but, it's just... hits too close to home."
OH... HONEY.
"I lost my grandfather when I was a kid and I always went with my mom to visit him and leave flowers. That place caused me a lot of anxiety. Now my grandmother's sick and I know it's only a matter of time before... you know..."
My gosh...
Alright. This guy is my best boy for this show.
He got me way too invested in his story.
"Fear of going bald; There is someone inside waiting to cut all your hair"
OH HI HEATHER, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!
That HAS to be a Total Drama Reference!
"Why? Hair grows back."
Fiore spitting facts XD
"Fear of being alone?"
Why does he sound confused with that? That's basic introverted life!
I could totally do that!
The subtitles again XD
"I thought I'd never have to see the inside of one of these again..."
GABBY. IS THERE SOMETHING TRAUMA BASED YOU WANT TO SHARE TO THE CLASS???
Cause that's concerning!
She's doing it. She came to SLAY.
Grett taught her well.
Hey Queens, you dropped this 👑
"All my life, I've worked with girls Fiore's age and I feel that something's not right with her..."
Lilly. I owe you one.
Props to Lilly to be the one smart one in this alliance.
"She looks like a little baby piglet."
THOSE ARE THE DEVIL'S EYES
Oh hey, she's not alone! She has... Blabby.
That's terrible.
"How dare they do this to you again?"
Yeah, Gabby is definitely traumatized.
"Yay! I made it!"
She's served her time in prison.
"Fear of confronting your past; YOU. MUST. BAKE. A. CHEESECAKE."
OOOOHHHH NOOOOOOOO THE HORROOOOORRR!!!!
I was always terrified of setting the kitchen on fire!
"What's so painful about cheesecake?"
Colesterol.
"What the hell was that?"
*Gets a Grammarly Ad*
The ads I'm getting today are cracking me up XD
MONTAGE
SLAY GRETT. YOU DO IT!
*Nick's fear*
... I think I'm gonna get flagged for this one. So I'm not showing it.
Drew's is the most terrifying.
Fiore's phobic of moose?
Okay, no, Dan's dead.
Lilly is also dead.
"Fear of fires; You must wear a thermal suit and enter a small cabin that we have behind the door. Which will burn in flames for fifteen minutes."
At least she gets a suit, so it could be worse.
"We couldn't find much information on you"
He is SUS as I will get out!
"You must take off your mask!"
OVER A MASK?!
BOO. VOTE HIM OFF.
Goddammit Tom.
"I just can't reveal to everyone that I may or may not like wearing makeup, okay?! It's personal! You don't know what I've been through!"
This is a joke btw. I don't think it's actually that. It might just be some facial scar under there, or he has to hide it for his job.
"I haven't always been afraid of fires. Two years ago, a heat wave caused one near my family's farm. We lost part of the house, the animals, and the crops. We haven't been able to fully recover after that."
HONEY. OMG.
We ANOTHER character motive that's very sympathetic! LET'S GO WITH THE TRAUMA!!
Not Fiore ACTUALLY being scared for Ashley!
Also Alec looks bored with every situation.
"It's suspicious. Don't you think?"
SUS.
TOM IS THE IMPOSTOR AMONG US.
YES ASHLEY FOR THE WIN!!!!
Tom can't be going. He has too much story for them to boot him now. Right?
RIGHT?
"Numbers are key in this game and I'd rather be with him than against him."
Oh thank god, this team DOES have a brain. Unlike the Purple Team last episode.
"I'd rather vote for Grett."
"How about Gabby? Sometimes her attitude is somewhat erratic."
DON'T. YOU. DARE.
Grett has a brain. She knows what's going on.
"Maybe I could convince one of the guys to vote with us."
We love a smart queen.
TOM IS SUS
WHERE'D YOU GET THAT?!
He just threw the walkie talkie XD
"You caught me ordering KFC!"
"Someone here has been watching you."
"Two people actually. The first is me because I'm currently stalking you. The second is that fruity boy."
"Drew."
"Drew the third. He's fruity for you, AND he's stalking you."
OH THE NOTEBOOK.
I was thinking that would be leading to something!
"The boy doesn't trust you very much. You can read it yourself."
"I saw Tom vent in medbay. Vote him out."
"Guys it's Drew. Drew is the Impostor."
I can't show the images of the votes this time because of Tumblr image max.
We already know who's going, right? This is not a shocking elimination at all.
"The boys alliance will get me further in the game."
Dan really just said "I don't work with women."
NOW I have a reason to bully him.
"I may have messed with Drew's notes just a little."
What did you do exactly?
Also her handwriting's pretty.
This isn't a shocking elimination. We already know who's going.
'GABBY'
Yeah, yeah, we know.
'DREW'
It's gonna be 3 Gabby. 3 Drew.
'GABBY'
'DREW'
'GABBY'
'DREW'
And this is the part where Tom flips.
Yep. Bye bye.
He was fine. I just kept forgetting he was there.
Thought Dan was gonna be more mad about that. "ALRIGHT WHO'S THE FLIPPER?!?! SOMEONE HAS TO EXPLAIN THEMSELVES!!"
"Drew was ejected"
Alright, that's the episode.
That was a good one. I'm actually enjoying this show quite a bit so far. A lot of people said I wouldn't like this show at all. So I am, so far, pleasantly surprised.
I think it's gonna be a bit before we get to eliminations of characters I actually really like.
I'm a bit more interested in Miriam now. I'm curious what her trauma with cheesecake is in particular. But I feel like it might be something worse than that.
My best girls are Grett and Gabby. Again, I don't stan characters as in "They did nothing wrong" I just plain like them as characters. I KNOW Grett is someone to not be liked. I'm NOT routing for her to win. I just think she serves her role with dignity and she's playing the game really well. I also want to learn more about her.
Gabby is really growing on me, and I'm interested in her isolated background and why she acts so erratically. She's also a really good balance between sympathetic and borderline annoying with her behavior.
The boys are kinda more iffy with me. Dan is Dan. Alec is... boring, as of right now. I like Tom, and I know he has story going on with him, but it's also kind of obvious what the twist with him is just from his design alone. That the point out multiple times.
So I guess my best boys are Nick and Jake as of right now. Jake especially, I'm actually really liking the story with him. I like how he's empathetic towards the elders because of his close relationships with his own grandparents who understood him (whatever that means), and how the death of one and critical state of another had an affect on him. I do think he and Ashley have the most sympathetic motives for being here, with Ashley helping her farm and Jake helping his grandma. He's also really sweet and caring so far, especially with Miriam this episode.
Nick, again, I like his story of him wanting to prove himself to his parents but being delusional on how to handle this circumstance he's in. He IS kind of fading to the background though, so hopefully that is fixed and he gets the character development set up for him.
Can't wait for you all to laugh maniacally at me hearing that cause you know of any derailment that happens later this season! Can't wait!
If you guys want me to continue these reactions, be sure to let me know.
