Hiii omg back from my devastation induced hiatus from dbda’s cancellation😍!! With a new obsession omgg. Looking to interact with the disventure camp fandom more so hoping its uhh habitable on here. Heres all my favs n some suggestions drawn in my style :)))
Remember me posting about the queere quartet? Well since Ellie didn't apologize to Tom and Jake I present to you a new hyperfixation. Queere quintet (+Miriam as an ally and group grandma)
☀️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.
☀️Everyone In The Final Four Has Cold Blood☀️ - Total Drama Viewer Reacts to Disventure Camp Season 1 Episode 12 “Trials & Trip-ulations ”
Heyo!
Y'all probably thought I dropped the show after last episode.
No. I was just busy with life. That's why this took awhile to come out.
Final Four. Home Stretch.
I think I only like one of the four. XD
But that's usually how it is with Total Drama. That's why I'm never really bothered with none of my favs being here. The only time I was actually bothered with it was in Total Drama Action, but like, the reason there was because Harold and Lindsay genuinely would've made for well written finalists, while all the other options were ASS. Beth was a very unlikeable floater who did nothing all season, Courtney was a ruthless villain so it was obvious she wouldn't win, Owen was a finalist last season and was only there to be a mole, and Duncan was... well, Duncan. I like Duncan as a character, but not as a finalist. At least with how it was handled in that season.
So I fully expect the villains of these things to make it far, and the messy characters to make it far because... it's Total DRAMA. It's not Total FRIENDSHIP. This ain't My Little Pony.
I CAME HERE FOR DRAMA, DAMMIT.
As long as I can understand what the writers are going for with their Final Fours, I don't really care about Elimination Order. That's not a factor of 'bad writing', at least for me. I only hate it when it's blatantly obvious the writers didn't know what they were doing with their choices.
I don't think that's the case here. I called Ellie. I called Fiore. I predicted that. Alec and Miriam are a SHOCK. I thought Alec was gonna be an early boot. And Miriam completely went under my radar. But I DEFINITELY do not hate that she's still here.
So yeah, I think Elimination Order is a pretty overrated criticism for Total Drama. That’s just my opinion.
So yeah... let's see what happens in this Penultimate Episode.
WAIT.
OMG.
LOOK.
THERE'S A HEART CARVING ON THE WALL❤️😭
Guys.
Guys.
Episode 10 is not canon. Okay? That was some leftover recycled content from the Beta that OddNations accidentally put in that playlist. That's Beta content. The remake is canon. That episode is not canon. It is not official. Tom and Jake are FINE. They're FINE. THEY WORKED THINGS OUT. THEY'RE OKAY. THEY'RE HAPPY TOGETHER AND WORKING THROUGH THEIR ISSUES TOGETHER. NOTHING HAPPENED BETWEEN THEM. THEY'RE AT THE MOTEL RIGHT NOW CUDDLING AND BEING HAPPY AND ORDERING CHINESE FOOD.
THEY ARE FINE. NOTHING HAPPENED. ALRIGHT?!?!?!?!
Goddammit, they're not even here anymore. What am I even saying?
But I swear to god, whether it's this season or Season 3. It better end with Jake and Tom getting that Chinese Date.
I will FLIP OUT if that's actually what happens.
"Is it food?"
"No, better, it's letters from home!"
"Oh. Eh."
XD
Honestly, I'm not surprised she had that reaction.
Whoever Fiore's parents are, um... they should be in jail. That's all I'll say.
MIRIAM IS A CAT PERSON?!
10/10. Best character. She better win.
Its probably not plausible, but you know, I can hope.
Oh...
Oh that's sad...
Her son has a pride pin. Wow. No wonder her and Jake got along.
"I got a letter from my dad saying how proud he is. And... three unpaid bills. If my father's letter didn't motivate me to win, this definitely will."
GIRL.
You ALMOST make me feel bad for you.
ALMOST. I'm still mad about the death threat you gave Jake.
"Wow. You're faster than I thought."
"I mostly skimmed it. Don't act like you don't do it too when you find a book boring."
Damn.
Her family life is THAT bad.
"You really hate them, don't you?"
"No, I'm just not interested. I'm sure it's from my parents, blaming themselves for my behaviors like there's really something wrong with me. Anyway, I don't care. In a few days I'll be a millionaire and I'll have several slaves to do whatever I want."
UM-
Um... I don't want to be THAT person Fiore, but...
There IS something wrong with you.
I'm sorry, but age doesn't convince me of anything. You are an awful, psychopathic human being, and you should be put behind bars.
"She opened her feelings about us... it turns out that maybe, by trying so many times to stay together, I've only been hurting her."
"I hate to say I told you so."
I mean that was always gonna happen, right?
I mean Alec isn't a character that interests ME personally, and that's a complete me thing. But from what we've heard, he MIGHT be a shit family guy.
Not as bad as Peter Griffin, but you know what I mean.
"Regardless of whether I win or not, I'll move when I get back. Away from my wife. I now realize that the love in our marriage was lost a long time ago."
That's probably a good idea.
I mean, I'm a lot younger than this man. I'm not married. And my current relationship is actually WONDERFUL THANK YOU VERY MUCH. So, I can't really comment on this cause I can't relate to it.
Good for him though... I guess...
"You know, if you want to pay those bills, we have to vote Alec out."
THANK YOU.
HOW MANY EPISODES DID THAT TAKE FOR YOU TO REALIZE THAT ALEC CAN'T BE TRUSTED?!
"Don't worry, no matter what, I'm not voting for you tonight."
That's gotta be a lie.
Miriam, you gotta avenge Tom and Jake. You can't spare her.
"We can try to flip Fiore to our side."
HOW 'BOUT NO?!
I JUST REALIZED MIRIAM'S THE ONLY TEAL TEAM CHARACTER LEFT.
The Merge started with, what, FIVE of them, and now in the Final Four there's only ONE?! THAT'S CRAZY
I mean Ellie swapped to Teal that one episode, but you know what I mean. She originated from Purple, so whether or not she counts is debatable.
"Today's challenge will be played in pairs."
Oh how lovely.
Miriam is screwed.
"The teams will be random."
Oh boy. Here we go.
WELL DAMN. MIRIAM IS SCREWED.
Goodbye to all the nice characters. Nice knowing all of ya.
A villain is winning this season.
"I'm stuck working with Alec... again."
At least you're FORCED to this time. I can accept that.
"You guys gotta cliff dive into the area below!"
TOTAL DRAMA REFERENCE.
THE MOST ICONIC FIRST CHALLENGE OF THAT SHOW EVER.
*Gets a... suggestive ad*
Okay. YouTube. Why? I-I can't even talk about that without getting flagged. Stop it.
An ad like that is allowed on YouTube, and yet people get demonetized for saying the F word.
Aaaaaaaannnnnnddd you both are gonna feel that in the morning.
Not as bad as what happened to Harold though.
AIN'T NO WAY
OH MY GOD
AIN'T NO WAY
That's awesome.
10/10 reference. Love that.
Oh come on Miriam. I thought you had good aim.
Imagine if there were sharks here like in the Total Drama one.
"This is the only time in my life I will gladly commit child murder."
I DID give Miriam slay pass, so you know, she's just using it.
Blame ME for the child abuse in this episode. I'm the one who gave her the slay pass.
Technically I gave it to Jake, but he's not here anymore and HE gave it to Miriam, so...
"UGH, how I hate that *BLEEP*"
Oh god...
I WILL say, the swearing is inconsistent in this show.
In Total Drama, ALL swearing is censored.
With the exception of the 'uncensored' version of the show, the version I watch, where they can say 'shut up' or 'crap' or 'boobies', which I would argue are not even that bad. ALL severe swearing of Total Drama is censored.
In this show, it's NOT all censored. They've said stuff like 'asshole' 'shit' 'goddamn' 'bitch' and even 'fuck' a couple times. Very casually mind you. And like, anyone who's been in middle school can get used to that language so it doesn't mind me. (I actually don't use that language out loud in real life, it's just text that I have no problem using it.) But then you have Grett's F bomb censored in her elimination, and you have this being censored.
I get it, YouTube, pain in the ass regulations. But it's because of that a moment like this does not hit NEARLY as hard as, say, Lindsay cussing out Heather.
Yes her swearing is censored, but that's also what makes it catch you off guard, it's funnier, and it's EASILY one of the most iconic moments of the entire show.
I'm just saying, if you're gonna swear, SWEAR.
If you're not gonna swear, at least make the censorship consistent.
(Digital Circus is a WONDERFUL example of how to do this right)
OH GOD THAT WAS A HEAD SLAM
I want to say I feel bad for the six year old getting abused, but...
I don't.
"I'm not saying I called it, but Trevor, you owe me five dollars."
That's ANOTHER Total Drama reference.
In their penultimate episode of the first season, Chris and Chef made a bet on who would barf first from the dares the campers were doing.
That's a smaller detail people probably don't remember. But I DID.
I'm not a Total Drama expert. I don't know everything about this show. BUT. I DARE YOU to tell me with a straight face, brutally honest, that you legit found THIS reference to TD on your first viewing of this episode.
YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T.
I AM AN ACE AT THE TOTAL DRAMA KNOWLEDGE TEST.
YES I AM CURRENTLY BRAGGING, WHAT'RE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT?!
*Patreons*
We're not even halfway through the episode, holy shit we are in for it with this one.
Oh the cafeteria is built! Wow!
They're definitely using this in Season 2.
(You guys want me to watch Season 2? Cause I can do that)
"Do you think she could be persuaded?"
Uh, how do I put that? You betrayed her, say, THREE TIMES?
That's a no.
"Of course. It'd be easier to beat a little girl like you than Miriam in the finale."
"TCH. THANKS DUDE. THAT REALLY MAKES ME FEEL GOOD ABOUT MYSELF."
Fiore, you're worse than an old lady, how does that feel?
"Ellie, you have to stop winning these challenges."
"Uh... thanks, I'll just throw I guess."
"If you win, you'll go straight to the final with Alec. Think about your chances of winning against him versus with me or Fiore."
Yeah, that's a really good point...
Miriam's still gonna beat your ass in the finale, but still.
She's gonna slay Ellie SO HARD and it's gonna be SO EMBARASSING.
"I don't think she wants to go to the final with Alec knowing that she will lose."
Yeah.
I'm telling you, Fiore does not give a SHIT about Alec. She'll ditch him in a heartbeat.
I say that like I didn't see last episode...
Maybe she does care. But she'll still ditch him.
"I promise."
*Oreo ad*
I guess they're sharing Oreos with this promise.
W-what?
What am I watching right now??
"No Trevor that's not dancing you're having a seizure."
XD
"But dancing is a great way to relieve some stress and to have some fun, according to my horoscope it's the best way to express your feelings!"
Honestly, facts, as someone who uses Just Dance to workout.
That won Trevor some points for me.
"We spent years trying to have our own reality show and now our dream is finally a-a reality haha, see what I did there?"
Is this trying to make me care about these hosts?
It's too little too late, but I'll take it.
"No more wildlife so we can film in different areas without the activists getting all up in a bunch."
YOU ARE MURDERERS. I DO NOT FORGIVE YOU.
Even CHIRS MCLEAN, THE FATHER OF ALL SOCIOPATHIC HOSTS, ISN'T A MURDERER.
Though he has attempted multiple times.
"Dude, we've already lost three cameramen to the grizzly bears alone."
Is there REALLY no other solution to your problem?
FENCES? ZOOS? Anything??
"WE don't need to do it. Jensen will."
OH THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
Oh fire making. That's a Survivor thing, right?
I'm surprised Total Drama didn't do this.
I guess this sabotage is allowed. Okay.
I've seen worse cases in Total Drama, I guess.
Fiore just keeps getting SLAMMED.
And I do not feel bad for her AT ALL.
SHE JUST THROWS THE CHILD XD
Miriam, you are AWESOME.
"That hurt!"
"We won!"
Miriam is cold blooded, OMG
EVERYONE in this Final Four is cold blooded.
Oh it's that sound effect...
Should I put the 'Keep Reading' label here then????
I'm gonna do it.
"You and I can also work together to become the final two after that."
GODDAMN. MIRIAM, YOU'RE COLD.
Okay, this is DEFINATELY a Survivor thing.
"You cannot grab the top with your hands and your feet must be on the line."
Oh. Okay. I was gonna say 'just wrap your feet around the pole' but you can't do that.
"Sounds easy."
"For you, yes, cause you're small."
But she's a child, wouldn't that make her less capable of endurance than Ellie and Alec?
How are you already slipping? We just started!
I say that like I would do better. I probably wouldn't.
NO MIRIAM
"You're much lighter than me. Do you think you can last longer?"
Oh you're not slipping and trusting Ellie, are you?
You're a dumbass.
"But unfortunately, I can't have us winning this."
YOU DUMBASS.
Does Ellie have my forgiveness for this???
Um...
That's a debate. First you apologize for the death threat. THEN we'll talk.
"What if they can't agree?"
"In that case, you and Ellie would go to one last challenge to decide who gets eliminated."
Oh really?
Is that what we're gonna do?
...or is Fiore gonna ditch Alec's ass? Did I call it?
"I choose Ellie. And I won't change my mind."
Okay.
"Well... I..."
Moment of truth.
She's gonna ditch him.
"Alec... I really liked you, and that's dangerous, because feelings are for weak people."
OH.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH.
"I vote to take Ellie to the final."
I. FUCKING. CALLED IT.
😂
GET FUCKED, ALEC!!!!! GET! FUCKED!!!!!
"But after all I've done?! I protected you this whole game! I helped you win the zombie apocalypse challenge, saved your life in the cave, covered up your plans so no one would suspect you're a PSYCHOPATH, and you STILL eliminate me?!"
THAT'S ON YOU, YOU DUMBASS.
WHY WOULD YOU TRUST HER?!?! SHE'S A PSYCHOPATH! YOU KNEW THIS. YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN IT COMING.
"Yes, thanks for all that, but I don't need you anymore."
👏😂👏
SHE DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU.
WHAT DID I SAY?!
Yeah, she cares about literally nobody.
She WILL ditch these guys on the bus the moment she has the chance.
And she's gonna show no remorse doing it.
And when that happens I'm gonna be HOWLING.
WELL HERE I AM.
SHE DITCHED HIM, NO REMORSE, AND I AM HOWLING.
AWOOOOOOOOOOOO
I CALLED THIS.
"Oh come on Alec, out of everybody, you're the last one who should be talking about feeling betrayed."
GET. HIS. ASS.
"This doesn't concern you. Keep it to yourself, Ellie."
You betrayed her three times. She DOES get a right to say that!
See, THIS is a good moment of Ellie ROASTING someone who fucking DESERVES IT.
"Your parents were right about you. You are a mistake."
"Oh. I know. And I don't care. Oh, and I bet you'd know a lot about making mistakes."
AWOOOOOOOOOOOO
I do not feel bad for Alec at all. Let's be real. HE DESERVED THIS.
YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE PUT YOUR FATE IN THE HANDS OF THIS PSYCHOPATHIC CHILD. THAT IS ON YOU.
GOODBYE, SIR.
🎉FINAL THREE!!!🎉
We're really going the TD Reboot route with this, huh?
It's an ALL WOMEN finale, too! That is a TREAT.
Total Drama never had an all women finale. They had ONE finale with both finalists being boys, i.e Revenge of the Island. But NO all women finale.
Okay, that was the episode.
GOOD LORD, THAT ENDING FELT GOOD.
I'm sorry, but after FOUR eliminations with three of them being my favs and the previous two eliminations BREAKING ME and DEPRESSING ME respectively, I NEEDED THIS.
I NEEDED A BOOT THAT WAS STRAIGHT UP SATISFYING.
I don't hate Alec or anything, he's just not one of my favs. I feel like I've reacted to his scenes the least of the Merge characters.
I think my take on his is Objective vs Subjective.
Objective he's a good character with a somewhat compelling character motive of his family, and a nice dynamic with Fiore. Plus he's one of the few characters to not be so overdramatic. So I can see how that would appeal to some people. (Idk how many Alec Stans there are)
Subjectively I just don't find him as interesting as some of the others. One reason being I can't relate to his story and struggles, which is completely personal as I've never been through any of that. Second, I'm just personally more invested in characters with more emotional range to them. In Total Drama, I expect characters to be, well, full of drama. So the messier more dramatic characters catch my eye more than someone who stays away from a lot of the drama.
But I can also see how people who hate the drama would like Alec. (Why you watching Total DRAMA if you hate drama then? Not shaming, just asking)
He's a nice character. But for me, he's a dirty backstabber, he's an assistant to a psychopath, he's implied to be horrible to his family, so yeah, FUCK HIM, GOODBYE.
Next episode is the finale, so we're almost done with the season! Yay!
Ellie and Fiore, I called as finalists since the Merge.
Fiore's the villain, so of course she'd be a threat in the finale.
I would maybe have considered the idea of her being fourth like what the TD Reboot did. BUT the TD Reboot had another character that was willing to play dirty in Julia's place, and Alec's got NOTHING on Bowie, sorry not sorry. (Bowie's my favorite TD Reboot character)
Ellie, I called since the Merge. Compelling motive to want to win. She had Gwen energy. Well, Gwen energy but much dirtier with some of her tactics. Some tactics I hate, but that's subjective. I can see her winning, honestly. I said this before. She screams 'winner' energy.
Miriam is a SHOCK. I... WOW.
I never hated Miriam, but she definitely grew on me after Episode 5. I see Ellie winning but I'm personally on Miriam's side. She's just a sweet, sassy, capable, and wholesome lady with some great dynamics with other characters.
Idk why, but Miriam never screamed 'finalist' for me. She was always under my radar in terms of the thought of 'who could win this'.
BUT, I will say, I DEFINATELY DO NOT HATE THIS.
Miriam is a good finalist choice.
Anyway, idk if this will get any attention because of the Season 3 finale, but hey, I can continue these if you guys seem interested and entertained by them.
☀️This Jake Stan Is Routing For Him To Take REVENGE☀️ - Total Drama Viewer Reacts to Disventure Camp Season 1 Episode 11 “Lights Out”
(EDIT after reaction, again. There's ONE POINT in this reaction where I just... BREAK, Get so bloody pissed. It's personal stuff I got triggered by. So... be aware when that comes. You might know what scene it is.)
Jake gets slay pass.
I don’t make the rules. Jake gets slay pass. And he better use it
🔥OPERATION GET REVENGE ON ELLIE IS A GO🔥
And at the end of last episode Jake said he wanted revenge, so YEAH. I'M SUPPORTING HIM WANTING THAT.
I don't hate Ellie, but what she did was screwed up. Gaslight your friend with their personal trauma and ruin their relationship with someone, all for your own personal benefit? Yeah. YOU BETTER BE SLEEPING WITH ONE EYE OPEN TONIGHT.
SHE BETTER PAY
Okay I'll specify. I don't THINK she's going, that would be way too obvious and easy. So it's a, "I don't necessarily have to win, I just have to make sure you lose" situation.
Jake doesn't have to get Ellie eliminated. He just needs to make sure revenge is served hot.
And don't go after Gabby. She did nothing wrong.
I will make it clear, cause last episode it might have been confusing how I worded it: Jake is NOT 100% 'the victim' here. He was stupid, he's the reason their evil plot even worked in the first place. Being traumatized is not an excuse for impulsive behavior. Being gay is not an excuse, either. I'M AWARE OF THAT. But did he do anything to DESERVE this prior?
Did he target you? No?
Did he personally go after YOUR relationship with your partner for the sake of the game, Ellie? No?
Did he ever treat you like shit? No?
SO WHAT THE HELL?
Oh god, I'm already fueled up with fire and my eyes are crusty cause I woke up an hour ago. It's morning where I'm at. I know. Weird for me.
So lets get into it and see some chaos unfold.
*I got an ad for an ice drink*
Okay even the episode itself is telling me, "GOLDEN, YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN."
"I said I'm sorry."
Oh my god we're jumping right into this. Here we go.
"Do you have any idea what you did? You got Tom mad at me AND you voted him out!"
"Do you think I get some sick pleasure from this?"
"Maybe you do!"
"I feel terrible, Jake."
"Oh don't pull that crap with me!"
"You can't just say 'I'm sowwy' and expect me to forgive you for something that HURT ME THAT BADLY."
...
Flash back to every time Jake said sowwy and didn't get forgiven.
BUT despite the hypocrisy, I'm still on his side in this argument. I'm sorry. He has every right to be pissed.
"God will those two ever shut up?!"
YOU CAUSED THIS. YOU TOLD ELLIE TO DO THAT TO HIM.
YOU SHUT UP.
"And you two, why should I ever trust you again?!"
YOU SHOULDN'T.
YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TRUSTED THEM AFTER THE FIRST BETRAYAL.
"Wow, Ellie's mad that someone lied to her."
"Wow, what a damn hypocrite you both are. Who would've thought?"
They're BOTH stupid, okay?
Miriam's just walking by completely out of this XD
"Eh I'm chilling. Where's my coffee? Elders can drink coffee, right? I'm just chilling and making white noise out of this."
"Smell that? That's the smell of tension."
...I need to get a Febreze in my room.
"And none of it is targeted at me!"
...
HOW?!?!?!
HOW IS NO ONE AFTER YOU?!?!?!?!
HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!?!?!?!
YOU SHOULD HAVE THE BIGGEST TARGET ON YOUR BACK!!!!!
YOU MADE THE PLAN. YOU BETRAYED SEVERAL PEOPLE. YOU CAUSED THIS FIGHT. YOU DECIEVED EVERYONE IN THAT ELIMINATION.
HOW IS NO ONE AFTER YOU?! THAT MAKES NO SENSE.
"Don't you get it Golden? I'm the villain! Therefore I'm completely excused for everything I've done!"
SURE. EXCUSE THE BEHAVIOR OF THE ONE PERSON WHO ORCHESTRATED THE WHOLE THING.
SURE.
"You know this is your fault, right?"
THANK YOU, MIRIAM.
"I know."
I know too. She DOES feel guilty, I'll give her that.
"You know, at one point, I thought I could trust you, and maybe I was too quick to judge you. But you've proven you're just like Grett, Fiore, and Alec. You're a no good trouble maker. Anything to win money, right? Shows your character through and through."
👏
THANK YOU. CALL HER OUT ON HER BULLSHIT.
THIS IS GOOD.
THIS IS GOOD CALLING OUT.
"Okay, I'm not about to be shamed for wanting to win. As if you don't?!"
Oh come on Ellie. You know she's right.
LISTEN TO MIRIAM. She's calling you out to try and HELP YOU BE BETTER.
She's not saying this to hurt you.
"Why would you vote with them in the first place? They betrayed you."
THANK YOU. FACTS.
"After we voted out Fiore and Alec, who would've been next?"
Depends. Depends what the challenge was and what the relationships were.
"Alright, fine, it would've been you."
"See why I did what I did?"
Yes.
But you could've done it WITHOUT HURTING PEOPLE.
"It doesn't bother me that you kicked Tom out. It's a game after all. But maybe you should've done things in a way where they wouldn't get hurt."
👏
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
YOU COULD'VE JUST STOLE THE FUCKING IDOL.
"It was the only way, Miriam. I'm sorry."
NO IT WASN'T.
Are we SERIOUSLY going to say "But Ellie was just playing the game, so it doesn't count."
Was Jake and Tom's relationship 'just a game?' She didn't have to go the personal route. She could've just stolen that motherfucking idol and all her problems would've been solved.
Yes I'm still calling that out. Add that to the counter I did.
But look, I'm SO HAPPY that Ellie at least got called out on her bullshit... even if that got twisted in her favor.
There's slandering people and intentionally hurting them, and then there's calling them out when they did something wrong because they care about you and want you to be better.
MIRIAM WAS CLEARLY DOING THE LATTER.
SHE CARES. SHE WANTS TO HELP YOU NOT MAKE THESE MISTAKES AGAIN. LISTEN TO HER.
I hope this episode at least ends with Ellie taking what Miriam said to account and realizing she was right. That would be WONDERFUL.
I know you're better than this, Ellie!
PLEASE ELLIE. SEE THE LIGHT.🙏
"There is no light, so it's impossible to navigate without a flashlight."
That sounds like a safety hazard.
"Two of them contain drained flashlights."
Um... I count three, your honor.
That's an animation error.
"You will have to trust each other to share items as you make your way to the surface."
OH I KNOW WHERE THAT'S GOING...
It sucks cause I think both Jake AND Ellie need that immunity more than the others.
UM, THAT'S LIFE THREATENING. WHAT?!
IS THAT A SCORPION?!?!
*Gets a 'take your style quiz' ad*
No THAT's the monster. Gotcha.
Why am I getting so many ads today?
"Trust others? I can't name one person I trust here."
Okay, yeah, she has a point there.
"Two of them are backstabbers, one of them is pissed at me, and the grandma is a grandma."
YEP THAT'S A SCORPION
Oh, BYE ELLIE XD
Is this cause I gave Jake slay pass?
I know HE didn't do this, but uh...
"You know, Golden told me to get revenge on Ellie, well here you go."
I DIDN'T MEAN KILL HER.
Well shit. Let me guess, Ellie has the batteries.
"We can find the exit without a flashlight!"
What are you gonna use? The wall? Idk how helpful that is.
Oh, Ellie doesn't have batteries. Okay... how is that gonna work, then?
*SQUIRMING* THAT'S TERRIFYING...
IDK IF I SHOULD CHEER CAUSE ITS FIORE OR FEEL BAD FOR HER CAUSE ITS A KID-
"I'm not leaving you!"
AW WAIT, SHE CARES ABOUT HIM?! WHAT?!
"Why did I feel worried when Alec got attacked by the scorpion? It's like I... cared about his well being? Weird."
Well... I'll be damned.
I thought didn't care shit about Alec. Huh.
Villain found family.
MY GUY. YOU ARE A BEAST.
FIGHTING A BEAST.
"What's wrong? I heard screams around here."
XD
THE DEAD PANNED WAY SHE SAID THAT.
"Oh. You. See ya."
XD
OKAY, THAT'S DESERVED. HONESTLY.
"There's a scorpion here."
"More reason to dip."
"I'm gonna DIE."
"See you in hell."
...actually, it would be fucked up if you left him to DIE, so...
But ditch him afterwards.
"This way!"
*Doordash ad*
"LET'S GO GET DOORDASH!" XD
"Not another scorpion, please..."
OH IT'S WORSE THAN A SCORPION MY GUY XD
"...kinda wish it was now."
XD
"Give me your flashlight. I can guide you along the way."
Uh, how do I put this? NO.
"Do you think we're gonna trust you?"
"Cause uh, I think I learned something from last time!"
"I can't steal your flashlight! I'm small! If I try to run away with it you'll catch up to me quickly."
Uh, yeah no. Still not buying it.
"I hate to say it, but the girl's got a point, Jake. Give her your flashlight."
"But-"
"Just give it to her."
Oh my god Miriam...
LET ME GUESS, SHE'S GONNA DIP, AND THEY'RE GONNA SAY IT WAS JAKE'S FAULT
Even though JAKE was the one that was NOT trusting her, and MIRIAM was the one who agreed to it.
"It's obvious I'll do my best to leave them the first chance I get. They're the fools for trusting me again."
Yeah, they're... oh my god.
If it's entirely Jake's fault, MAKE IT ENTIRELY JAKE'S FAULT, is all I'm saying.
If you want to paint the narrative that Jake is a gullible moron who believes EVERYTHING he's told. Fine. Then swap the dialogue here and have Jake be the one to suggest giving the light to her. Then I'll believe it was entirely his fault. THAT'S NOT HARD.
If you want me to hate Jake, MAKE ME HATE JAKE.
OH HEY!
I thought you guys were eliminated! What are you doing here?
OH SHIT...
Um...
I didn't think we'd be dealing with MURDERERS...
Holy shit this just got a lot darker.
"When I found out at the hotel that Derek and Trevor were exterminating the animals in the forest, I was about to take justice into my own hands! But I remembered that the last time I tried, things didn't end well..."
"And how did you know it was them?"
"I may or may not have threatened the hotel receptionists so they would tell me the truth."
Oh my god Gabby, I love you XD
"I did all your spy work for you! You're welcome! Torture always works!"
(No it doesn't)
"I wanted to call the police! But with my record, I knew they wouldn't listen to me, so I remembered that you're a cop."
So Gabby's a delinquent...
Honestly I'm not surprised.
Also Tom was a spy, where'd you get this from?
"Then what are you? A ninja?"
XD
THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS ENTIRE TIME.
"I saved your life. You should thank me."
Facts.
"I can't believe I'm forced to work with you again."
I know. It sucks. You really should ditch him.
"Calm down. You're acting like Jake."
OH SHUT UP. YOU DESERVE IT.
"Listen Ellie, I still think back to the early days, when we were the two outcasts of Team Purple-"
LA LA LA LA LA, I'M NOT LISTENING.
NOPE. NOPE. NOPE.
YOU HAD YOUR SHOT ALEC.
YOU HAD THREE SHOTS, ALEC.
THREE STRIKES. YOU'RE OUT.
I'M NOT LISTENING.
"What do they teach you in school nowadays?"
Bunch of useless shit, let me tell ya
Ditch him. Ditch him. Ditch him.
YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!
OH THAT'S SATISFYING!!
OH I LOVE THAT
Why is Ellie being such a girlboss this episode? XD
And after I swore revenge on her at the start too
"Bye Alec."
"Oh fuck you."
XD
THAT'S WHAT YOU GET.
YOU DESERVED THAT.
Ellie is seeing the light and I'm gonna be proud of her if she does!
"I think we should take the path to the left."
You guys can SEE the light, right?
Fiore can't really trick you with the light source, can she?
"Gays and boomers first."
AYO. THAT'S OFFENSIVE.
"You did put the batteries in, right? I can barely see a thing."
Again, Jake is the 'moron' quote on quote, but he's the one questioning this shit.
NO JAKE
Oh please tell me he didn't DIE from that.
Fuck you, Fiore.
I don't care that you're a kid. Fuck you.
"You meant for this to happen, didn't you, you brat?!"
Is Miriam gonna beat her ass? PLEASE.
XD
YES! GET. HER. ASS. MIRIAM.
GET HER ASS!!
"I should call child protective services on you, you know?!"
Is that directed at Miriam or me cause I'm routing for Miriam to hurt you?
Would love to see that in court.
"Did you attempt murder on Mr. Jake... whatever his last name is?"
"Um, I'm a kid your honor."
"I'm going to take that as a yes."
OH. HELLO.
THIS IS CONVENIENT.
"Are you okay? What happened?"
"Like you care."
And here we go.
He's still mad at you. For good reason.
"No thanks, I'd rather be in the dark than-"
*Ad on a hurricane*
He'd rather be in the dark than in a hurricane. Honestly, fair.
Okay she saved him.
See, she ain't gonna leave you for dead.
Aw, Alec being so worried about Fiore though...
Damn. They actually have a bond. Who would've thought?
"Go for immunity! We can't let Ellie or Jake win."
I hope Jake DOES get immunity. HE NEEDS IT.
"And don't even get me started on what annoys me the most about you..."
Ellie looks so done.
"UGH, consequences for my actions SUCK."
"Bruh? Why you pissed? I only took advantage of you, triggered some PTSD, betrayed your trust, lied to you, and ruined your relationship for my own personal benefit to win money. You ask me, you being pissed at me IS TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR."
"I WAS THE PLAYING THE GAME. THEREFORE, IT DOESN'T COUNT."
I imagine they were there for hours of Jake just nonstop ranting.
"I hope you know, Ellie, I am PISSED at you. And Golden told me that she wants me to give you karma. Well here it is! I WILL NOT SHUT UP FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP."
"Tom warned me about you, and I decided 'Huh, you know what? Ellie isn't such a bad person.' Of course Tom was right. He's always right. And now, because of you, he won't ever talk to me again! You were never hurt like I was. You don't know what it feels like to be cheated on!"
Honestly, EVERYTHING he said there was just FACTS.
Ellie, you screwed him up beyond repair. That needs to be made clear to her.
Though I will say this: Trauma and being gay is not an excuse XD
He IS wrong on that front.
Oh they made it. Cool.
Who gets the immunity though?
Talk it out? Please?
"Only one of us can win..."
"If you give this to me, maybe I'll forgive you."
Yeah, he does need it.
The opportunity is open, Ellie! Redeem yourself!
COME HOME. COME TO THE LIGHT. GET YOUR FRIENDS BACK.
"You know what? You can eat shit and die."
WHAT?!?!?! ELLIE NOOOO
NO YOU WERE DOING GOOD
WHY?!?!?!?!
"And 'BOO HOO, AWWW, I GOT CHEATED ON'. GROW THE HELL UP JAKE."
WHAT THE FUCK?! 😠
"You say you're a victim, but you're really just a sponge for drama. You feed off the smallest setbacks, acting as if the world's against you."
😠
"Tom probably saw it too."
DON'T YOU DARE DO THAT TO HIM.
"You have no right to shame me."
YOU HURT HIM. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?!
"After you voted out Gabby, I never pulled this on you, cause I have some sense to not be a dick."
BULL. SHIT. 😡 THAT WAS FIORE AND ALEC.
"Maybe if you weren't so annoying, your boyfriend wouldn't have cheated on you."
*Paused the Episode on this frame*
...
So, this is being written TEN MINUTES after I paused the episode in that frame.
What happened in between that ten minutes was that I PAUSED the episode, got out of my seat paced around my room in rage, SCREAMED THE F WORD, I'm lucky my family isn't home at the moment so they can't hear me, and I left the room and paced around in my kitchen to calm down because I felt SICK, HURT, TRIGGERED, and ATTACKED.
Not the writer's fault. They don't know. But... OMG
YOU. YOOOOOUUUUUU
YOU CANNOT DO THAT
I am VERY EMOTIONAL in this segment if you can't tell.
YOU CANNOT SAY THAT TO PEOPLE.
YOU CANNOT SAY THAT TO PEOPLE.
Maybe in a separate post, when I cooled my head, I'll talk about WHY this scene hurt me so much.
But my reason is not actually based off the characters. Roles swapped, I think I'd still react this way.
Bottom line is, remember when I said earlier that Miriam was calling Ellie out to help her?
THIS ISN'T THAT. THIS IS NOT 'ELLIE CALLING JAKE OUT ON HIS BULLSHIT', THIS IS NOT 'ELLIE GIRLBOSS MOMENT'. THIS IS SHAMING.
This is SHAMING someone with serious mental problems that need help.
This is not 'Oh, Ellie's ROASTING Jake right now, what a powerful moment for her! Hell ya, he deserved it!'
THIS TRIGGERED ME.
I actually KNEW this scene existed before I watched the show. But I had no context, didn't know what episode it was, didn't know when it showed up, and I didn't remember the exact dialogue. But it was in a clip of a reaction that was cheering for Ellie doing this.
I won't give names, I won't throw hands, that's not their fault if they see it that way. This is just VERY PERSONAL FOR ME.
I won't give massive details, because it's so personal, but why it triggered me? I HAVE BEEN THERE IN MY LIFE.
I HAVE BEEN THERE YEARS AGO, MULTIPLE TIMES, WITH MULTIPLE PEOPLE DOING THIS SHIT TO ME. Acting JUST LIKE how Ellie does here, towards me.
It caused me a lot of problems growing up. My family AGREED with the people doing that, so that was not fun. They said 'I needed to hear this. I deserved it.'
So I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. This shit does no favors to the person you're 'roasting'. If anything, this makes the behavior you're calling out WORSE. They act even MORE like this whiny bratty type as a way to cope with the thought that everyone hates them!
ELLIE. YOU CAN'T DO THIS.
THAT HURTS PEOPLE.
I DON'T CARE IF IT'S JAKE. I DON'T CARE IF YOU HATE JAKE. THAT'S NOT THE POINT.
YOU CAN'T SAY THAT TO PEOPLE.
I'm not saying Jake is innocent and doesn't deserve calling out. BUT, THAT'S NOW HOW YOU DO IT
EVERYTHING Ellie said in that was just... ANGERED ME. IT ANGERED ME.
I gotta calm down. I'm sorry. I gotta calm down. Peace.
(That time card isn't an exaggeration)
I'm calm. I'm okay. I went for a walk. I got some lunch. I'm good.
Fuck you, Ellie.
I can finish the episode.
Oh.
I thought Ellie was gonna get immunity. Guess not.
Wow, actually, thinking about it, she would've gotten immunity, something good for her game, if she DIDN'T waste time saying all that shit to Jake.
She could've just said "lol nope", shoved him, and then LEFT.
And she would've gotten immunity.
But no. She had to psychologically damage Jake instead. That was more important.
'For the game' my ass.
"Once again, Ellie proved what a backstabber she is. But at least this time, she didn't get away with it."
I don't want to say 'for no reason', cause you WERE being a bitch to her. But at the end of the day, you vote her off...
Unless she sides with the villains again...
Shit...
Ooooooooooooooooooooooohhh shit.
I think this is it for Jake.
"Am I nervous about tonight's vote? Yes. I feel like I have no control. It all depends on Fiore and Alec."
That's true. They could vote Miriam. Or you.
Cause you and Jake are sure not as hell voting together after you both pull that shit on each other.
"In just a few short days, me and Fiore went from enemy number one to being the ones in control."
I know. That's crazy.
You guys orchestrated the whole thing, confessed that, and no one went after you. That's crazy.
Oooooooohh god...
I'm actually feeling kinda hopeless.
I think I know who it is.
'JAKE'
Yeah...
'ELLIE'
Should've went for the gold.
'ELLIE'
'JAKE'
Aaaaaaaannnnnd I know Fiore's handwriting at this point.
It's over.
*Long Depressed Sigh*
...I knew it.
We didn't get revenge. Goddammit.
"Whatever. I don't care."
"Spoken like a man who cares."
"Miriam, I'm so sorry to be leaving you. Maybe if I had taken things differently, none of this would've happened."
Yeah...
"Thank you so much for supporting me. Everything from my grandmother to Tom..."
Oh come on, don't make this sad for me.
"Don't fret, kid. I thought I wouldn't open up to anyone here. But you were patient with me, and taught me that I shouldn't judge people so quickly."
Yeah. He's chaotic like that.
"You may be down, but you're not out. Play your butt off Miriam. We'll see each other when this is all over, okay?"
Yes. Win for them, Miriam.
Awwwwwwww💗
...damn. I'm gonna miss that trainwreck.
"These people voted out Tom and Jake. They've fooled me time and time again. They think my days are numbered, but they don't realize who they're messing with. No more Mrs. Nice Gran."
That's usually how it is, so I don't really care about that sort of thing.
Damn, Jake got a bad ending.
Either bro gets therapy, or he's coming back more hostile and broken and distrusting of everyone around him than ever before.
In that sense, I think Jake left the show with the worst outcome 😢
Part of that IS his fault, I admit. If he had just cooled off for two seconds and listened to Ellie, he would’ve survived and gotten a friend back. But no.
So as much as I hate the scene, I admit I DO LIKE the idea of Jake getting called out for his bullshit. In any other circumstance, HE WOULD DESERVE IT.
BUT HOLY SHIT ELLIE, IF THAT WAS YOUR INTENT THAT WAS NOT THE WAY TO DO IT.
I can totally imagine that Jake comes back in a future season and he’s this bitter, hostile, whiny, “Don’t trust anyone. Everybody is out to get me. Everybody is an enemy who wants to hurt me.” And being even MORE unpleasant for his peers than he is in this season. (Except with Miriam) And a deeper layer being him acting that way because of self loathing. “Ellie was right. I am a dick. I don’t deserve to be loved at all. I’m going to be alone in the end.”
I would hate it, that would probably be obnoxious depending on execution, but I think that would be a consistent writing transition. (Again, kinda like Teruko)
So… I didn’t think I was gonna like Jake as much as I did. I mentioned before but I saw some out of context clips, some of them being only about hatred towards Jake and that calling out scene. So I thought, cause I didn’t know context, “Oh, he’s probably this massive dickhole of a person.”
And then I watch it for myself and look where we are. I love this trainwreck.
Not in the sense of “Cinnamon roll baby girl did nothing wrong and his trauma excuses him of all his actions” Cause uh… hell no.
It was just very refreshing for me to have a character whose experiences and issues actually make them hard to deal with and messy and ‘annoying’. Especially for someone like me who didn’t have exact experiences but also acted like that years ago until I got help.
There’s a GREAT VIDEO that really fits this topic, I’ll put it here. It’s about flawed characters and the discourse surrounding them.
(This also works for Ellie, and other characters in this show too.)
I defended him when no one else did. Till the end. I did it. I did the impossible. Hello. I’m a Stan.
Fuck you, Ellie. Fuck. You.
Okay I have two different takes, objective and subjective.
Subjectively I think I hate her now. Just cause of that scene being WRONG on so many levels.
But objectively I see her POV in the sense of “She’s too far gone”. And Jake was giving her shit. And she didn’t want to listen to Miriam. I said this last time. This is a cool concept for a character and I’m down for it.
But yeah, she’s too far gone.
Right now, if I was being subjective she’d be an F tier just for that scene alone.
/j. CALM DOWN.
But she is one of the more interesting and intriguing characters left, and I do think she has a chance to win still.
In Total Drama, they usually DON’T let villain/morally grey characters win just because that’s an ‘unpleasant ending’. Unless it’s Heather, but even then that’s… debatable cause of the season.
But you know, this is an indie show. They can do whatever they want. So who knows.
Miriam’s gotta get revenge on her though. She’s our only hope.
Jake passed on the slay pass to Grandma Miriam, and trust me. SHES COMING FOR YOU ALL.
If you guys want me to continue these reactions, be sure to let me know.
