More Total Drama Headcanons!

Heather and Gwen would totally try to rick roll eachother and every single attempt between them escalates right up until Harold somehow rick rolls them both by complete accident. if this happened in a GC they'd try to nuke any traces of it but unfortunately Sierra was there and she's a screenshotting machine. the blackmailer becomes the blackmailee. And Gwen looses.

Owen's favorite insult is dogwater. It hits harder than any swear word

Izzy will bond with animals by imitating them. she has been found on the floor on her side petting a cat in the exact same pose as her. She'll stick her tongue out periodically if she's currently watching over a snake. The only one she hasn't cracked are fish.

Gwen has told people point blank "Im going to fucking kill you" when they've annoyed her enough. this was most common during her time on Island

This is definitely not of the time period, but Zoey definitely went "This is my personal 9/11" after a minor inconvenience before realizing this was not a normal thing to say after she has 10 seperate sets of eyes staring at her for it

I think, during All Stars, whenever they weren't filming or were on the Playa des Losers, that Sierra would take notes on the interactions or different relationships the campers had with eachother. not outright stalking! she's taking notes on what she sees to learn more about what's going on. she'd rather try to befriend these people, but also she's a messy bitch and wants to know whatever drama's currently happening.

I think sometimes Mike and/or Zoey would sneak Cameron into places by putting him in a big duffel bag and carrying him around. he's small enough and light enough for it! As an added comedic bonus, Cameron will occasionally peak his head out of the bag if someone in close proximity says something wrong. Just goes "Actually, that's a common misconception!" and now they have to explain this

Sierra owns a used pink Gameboy Advance SP with Mario Kart Super Circuit and Kirby's Amazing Mirror cartridges. She plays with Sam during TDAS :D

one of Zoey's hobbies is making clothing. she'd totally make her own merch for small bands she likes. she'd make stuff with Cameron and Manitoba specifically. she'd give a homemade frilly skirt to Svetlana and she'd be so happy about it. Sierra makes her Kandi Cuffs in exchange.

In general i think Zoey would wear more hippie inspired clothing as they get older, maybe a more androgynous style along with it

If we're talking more 'realistic' characterisation of characters, i think Max became a stand up comedian, or a method actor.

Lightning's autistic and the "sha" thing is a vocal stim trust

Gwen introduces Courtney to Peneloppe Scott's discography and she undergoes an overnight transformation into a Peneloppe Scott stan

Is it bad that I really love Mike?? I'm not even a system and I really love him

[fraudulent-cheese]

ty for reblogging my theory i was just discussing mike’s psyche and how hes not just the default normal boring guy everyone i see thats not a superfan of him makes him out to be then i just had Realisations on what the button and tdas as a whole meant for his character and urghgggg it triggered something in me bc like. after 12 fucking years of raging over that decision i feel i finally understand it and hell now i genuinely appreciate it and im glad you think its cool too

lol ty!! i'll admit the most i had thought about the reset button before was to consider it to be the final shit ableist cherry on top of all the bad writing decisions tdas had made, and mostly idly considered all the repurcusions it would have on Mike's psyche, but i had not considered just how in character that decision was/would be. And like! Fuck! It is! it's not just from a narrative stand-point* that it makes sense but Mike would make that same decision too!

*in regards to how the narrative also treats Mike's alters as comedic bits at best and obstacles to his normal guy arc at worst and not really letting up on that during tdas. throwing them in the garbage with Mal at the end is basically the logical endpoint from that perspective...

Last round of Headcanons! With Chester (My Favorite!)

Chester is an introject. He was created to deal with Mike's grief after his grandfather passed away.

Chester is typically crabby. He is a lot like Mike's grandfather in this respect.

When Chester fronts, he usually only stays up front for an hour or two. He typically hates to front as he finds it troublesome.

Chester is an EP, as his primary trigger is emotion related.

Chester identifies as 72 year old, Italian heteromale. He looks directly like Mike's grandfather: short, brown eyed, with silver hair. Chester is also balding a little, and has liver spots on his head.

Chester gets along the most with Mike. He and Mike often share war stories, and Mike usually just tells Chester the good aspects of his day.

Chester dislikes Svetlana. He believes that she is a Communist.

Chester acts as a disciplinarian for Mal's antics. This another reason why he and Svetlana don't really get along.

Chester dislikes Vito's random hook-ups. He is usually the first one to call him out on it.

Chester hates Manitoba because of Manitoba acting like a know-it-all, in his eyes. They are usually seen bickering back and forth.

Chester's history is sort of rough. Mike's grandfather was a comfort spot for him. After he died, Mike felt like he had no one else, so he started having issues with dissociation.

Chester likes to eat soft foods like "cream of" soups, and dislikes tough, chewy foods like certain meats. Though he does sometimes complains no matter what you give him.

Chester usually likes to listen to certain things when the moods strikes him, but is usually old swing tunes. He hates all types of rock n roll, except maybe Elvis Presley.

Chester has no real romantic interest in anyone. He likes Zoey in a friendship kind of way. He finds relationships to be troublesome

There you have it! There are all my system headcanons! Thank you so much for reading this! If anyone would like, I could do some detailed Headcanons to Mike's past? I would love to!
