when the most pessimistic miserable character you've ever seen finds hope in the last three minutes of the story

I’ve been rewatching Total Drama

I finished TDI and am starting episode 7 of TDA so I just finished Trent and Izzy’s aftermath and I have some thoughts mostly abut Gwen, Courtney, maybe Heather unsure about that and like ship things. 

I forgot how cute Duncan and Courtney were in TDI. I really get that ship there it is definitely my favorite from that season.

Also I love season 1 Courtney she is so great, her leaving Duncan to get the million 10 out 10, hilarious. In Trent’s aftermath when she says she’s team Gwen because Trent is a loser... by choice, is iconic, I love her so much.

And Heather love that bitch, even though she like literally the worst in TDI and I don’t think I ever realized how much of a better person she is in TDWT then TDI until I rewatched and I really appreciate TDWT Heather alot more now. Also Harold just keeps trying to be friends with Heather and she just keeps shutting him down and I’m just so annoyed cause he’s the only one was even kinda likes her.

I still love Gwen, she’s still probably my favorite character, but like she kinda sucks at communication but teens so i guess it’s fine. And as much as I love Gwuncan, I think Gwen is better in the game when she’s not in a relationship.

So I’m talk about Gwen and Trent now cause I just don’t get them, like there kinda cute in season 1 but like the only thing I really remember is him supporting her in the last challenge and that was cute. But Gwen is pissed at him most of the time in season 1 like she’s very hot and cold with him. And like theyre awful in TDA. Trent is way too jealous of Gwen’s friendship with Duncan even though she tells him they’re just friends multiple times. And he’s so insecure and starts doing weird shit like throwing challenges and the brand thing plus when he trys to make her jealous with Lindsay. It really makes me dislike Trent as a character and I never really cared about him TDI at all. I also don’t get Trent blaming Duncan for their break up, like Duncan was fucking around he made a guess about the 9 thing and that wasn’t even why she dumped him. I also don’t feel bad about Trent getting voted off, he deserved it, he was throwing challenges. And I really don’t like the way the aftermath specifically paints Gwen negatively for dumping him and him getting voted off. 1) cause I’m with Geoff he was going to get voted off anyway- he was throwing challenges and his team knew. 2)She was allowed to dump him, he was creeping her out and like it’s very fair for her to choose to break up with him instead of try and work it out. Especially because she is a teenager and its really healthy to know that you can and should end things if you are feeling uncomfortable and starting to feel unsafe in a relationship. And he was being obsessive enough that is pretty likely that she wasn’t feeling super safe there.

Lastly I’ve been trying to think how I got to the point of shipping Gwuncan so much when I really did like and do like Courtney and Duncan. And now I think I got to the point of it surpassing Courtney and Duncan, mostly because Gwen’s my favourite character and I hate her relationship with Trent so much and I just wanted her in a good relationship that I liked so I shipped with Duncan. I also do think some shit happens in TDA that I don’t remember that makes me less about Duncan and Courtney, but we’ll see. Idk I really like that Duncan and Gwen’s friendship in TDA and that could be part of the shipping for me too.

2017 TD Re-Watch Schedule

Okay, so I've had several requests to do a re-watch of the series over the hiatus. While it's a great idea (and I'm always down for re-watching) you all just have to realize that as time goes on and we get more episodes, it gets harder and harder to rewatch all of them in a short period of time (even if that time is a long, 6-month hiatus).

So we have 99 episodes to watch in only about 25 weeks (depending on when the S8 premiere actually airs. We don't have a specific date yet).

So here's what I'm gonna do:

The first three seasons aren't entirely relevant because Gimple wasn't the showrunner back then. And that's not to say that there aren't TD clues in them. There are places where it's obvious he went back to earlier seasons and built on what was already there. But the point is that there won't be tons in those first three seasons. At least, not nearly as much as in S4-S7.

So. Basically, starting next week, we're going to watch the first three seasons very quickly. We'll take 4 weeks to rewatch all three seasons. That's 35 episodes (S1 = 6, S2=13, S3=16) in 4 weeks. 

I know that's super-fast. But remember that there won't be tons in these episodes. I will probably only do 1 (possibly 2) posts for each season high lighting what little TD evidence there is in each. You can break these seasons up however you want if you're following along. (I will basically try to watch 2 episodes/day during the week, as the weekend currently isn't a good time for me to count on episode watching time. Of course everyone's schedule will be different, so if you want to re-watch with us, work them in wherever you can.) 

Just keep in mind that if you can't keep up with S1-3, you won't be missing tons from a TD perspective. And what there is, I'll post about. Also, most of us have seen all the episodes before, so if you miss an episode, no big deal. Make it up later or just skip it and go to the next. Whatever suits you best.

I will probably post about S1 at the end of week 1, S2 at the end of the second or 3rd week, depending on how quickly I watch it, and then S3 at the end of the 4 weeks.

The reason I want to do it this way is that it will then give us time to go a little more slowly with S4-S7.

That said, we'll still have 64 episodes to watch in 21 weeks. (4 seasons with 16 episodes each.) That's roughly 3 episodes per week. And while that's intensive, I think it's much more doable than 4-5 episodes per week, which is what we would have to do if we gave all 7 seasons equal time.

So here's a tentative schedule. It may change as time goes on, but I'll stick to it as closely as possible:

Date:        Episodes to Watch:

4/16 - 4/22 - Rewatch S1

4/23 - 5/13 - Rewatch S2 and S3

5/14 - 5/20 - Rewatch 4x01, 4x02, 4x03

5/21 - 5/27 - Rewatch 4x04, 4x05, 4x06

5/28 - 6/03 - Rewatch 4x07, 4x08, 4x09

6/04 - 6/10 - Rewatch 4x10, 4x11, 4x12

6/11 - 6/17 - Rewatch 4x13, 4x14, 4x15

6/18 - 6/24 - Rewatch 4x16, 5x01, 5x02

6x25 - 7/01 - Rewatch 5x03, 5x04, 5x05

7/02 - 7/08 - Rewatch 5x06, 5x07, 5x08

7/09 - 7/15 - Rewatch 5x09, 5x10, 5x11

7/16 - 7/22 - Rewatch 5x12, 5x13, 5x14

7/23 - 7/29 - Rewatch 5x15, 5x16, 6x01

7/30 - 8/05 - Rewatch 6x02, 6x03, 6x04

8/06 - 8/12 - Rewatch 6x05, 6x06, 6x07

8/13 - 8/19 - Rewatch 6x08, 6x09, 6x10

8/20 - 8/26 - Rewatch 6x11, 6x12, 6x13

8/27 - 9/02 - Rewatch 6x14, 6x15, 6x16

9/03 - 9/09 - Rewatch 7x01, 7x02, 7x03

9/10 - 9/16 - Rewatch 7x04, 7x05, 7x06

9/17 - 9/23 - Rewatch 7x07, 7x08, 7x09

9/24 - 9/30 - Rewatch 7x10, 7x11, 7x12

10/01 - 10/07 - Rewatch 7x13, 7x14, 7x15, 7x16

My posts will go up the week AFTER we watch the episodes, so if we can stick to this, it should give us time to finish and do any and all posts before the S8 premiere airs. It's usually the 2nd or 3rd week in October.

Just to repeat, I already have re-watch posts for S4-S6. I’ll probably just repost those and add/update anything new I’ve seen after seeing S7.

Anyone who wants to discuss or post their thoughts, feel free to do. You can piggyback off my post or, if you’re writing your own, make sure to tag me. Can’t wait to get into it. Should be fun! ;D

there was nothing but love waiting for rust in the dark. he thought it'd be cold and apathetic, he thought time was a flat circle and he'd have to grieve his daughter again and again. but he pulled the knife out of his stomach and laid there to die. and in the darkness, there was nothing but love. and then he woke up.

[sunny12th]

it's just that it all goes back to his daughters death. everything about rust begins and ends with the fact that his daughter is dead. so what is he gonna do but work a case, give in to the obsession of the king in yellow. there is nothing else for him to do because his daughter is dead.

[sunny12th]

the first adjectives used to describe rust being "raw-boned" and "edgy." like YES he is in fact raw-boned and edgy

"rust would pick a fight with the sky if he didn't like its shade of blue"

the first time we see him (in the past), he's almost completely shrouded in darkness. "he looked like he was on his way to the firing squad" and he's holding a bouquet of flowers. then we see him in the present, in the washed-out light of the interrogation room and he's all faded like he's been left out in the sun too long. his clothes matching the outdated computers and the filing boxes behind him. the light is just as damning as the dark.
