I See Ur Most Recent Post And Obviously I Have To Ask Abt Trent

i see ur most recent post and obviously i have to ask abt trent

My favorite character right out the gate lets go!!

(Ok wow this got sooo long I am sorry)

Starting with my personal takes & headcanons Trent is so nonbinary to me. They give such vibes of being like “idk man I’m just existing” as well as at first thinking they just really didn’t care about gendered stuff bc society is stupid about it but then realized just how deep those feelings were. I also love just any headcanon of Trent not being cis in general. The gender queer vibes are so strong with that one. In terms of sexuality I’m really not sure? I think they’re to multiple genders but idk in what way. Bi, Pan, and Unlabeled are the ones I’m stuck between.

On a slightly more analytical note in I think in Island they are well showcased as a nice chill person but also having the capacity to stand their ground and be intimidating (that one scene with Cody).

I don’t think they’re really good with social queues and may be a bit gullible seeing how things went down with Heather. On the outside has that mysterious energy but can be a real goober when you get to know them. Insane silliness potential that was wasted in my opinion.

Crossing into the semi-headcanon but also canon implied type stuff is their neurodivergence. In TDA it’s obvious that Trent has some neurodivergent tendencies. I personally think OCD and autism. I hate the way it was handled, not because they gave Trent these traits in the first place but how they framed them as a crazy person. That treatment was definitely very damaging to Trent and most likely made them go to heavily masking, even more so than before. Being pitied so much also felt incredibly frustrating to them.

The way that Trent was launched into fame right after a messy breakup on international television definitely made things worse. They seemed like they were thriving while the band was together but in reality they were only being seen for their music and not who they really are, pointedly ignoring their neurodivergence, flaws or any wrongdoing on their part. It hurt seeing how they were treated so horribly when it came to their mental health but as soon as they started singing they were suddenly this sweet, emotional, amazing guy.

And in terms of my headcanon they were also dealing with a ton of dysphoria being seen a guy in the Drama Brothers because they were closeted. I personally think that they had only found out a couple of months before Island so they weren’t comfortable telling anybody yet. They felt like they could tell someone close like Gwen eventually but didn’t want to come out on tv so they said nothing. I think in the days between the finale and TDA Trent became afraid again not wanting to ruin things with Gwen in fear of her being upset that they wouldn’t be the cool talented boyfriend that she expected. On the Aftermath they didn’t really have anyone truly there for them only having those who pitied them or who thought they were an awful person, leaving them isolated not just about dysphoria but just their existence in general.

I do believe that between TDA and WT as well as onwards that Trent was able to build a genuine friendship with Justin, Harold, and Cody despite how messy things got with the band at times. Unintentionally they started unmasking a bit around them closer to when WT started and when they weren’t met with judgement (maybe a bit that was just genuine misunderstanding that got corrected but still) Trent was starting to more and more feel like they could be themself. (Back to more headcanony for a sec) After WT Trent came out to the three of them and was met with acceptance! From there Trent is able to progressively come out more and more from their shell and from the closet to more people!

Also hopefully patching things up and becoming friends with Gwen eventually but that’s just like a wish I have

I think I just unintentionally typed out a whole outline of what I think their life is instead of just my opinion on them in general but yeah.

Some random headcanons!!:

- (Stolen from Courtney-deserved-better) A lot of people think that Trent looks so cool and mysterious but in actuality they are usually just zoned out

- Biggest sensory issues are with sound. They’d go insane without headphones/earbuds bc the music is nice and their noise as opposed to how horribly loud life can be (Kinda projecting on this one but it makes sense for them so shhh)

- Listens to most genres but especially the ones within the general indie/alternative umbrella. A good amount of ppl think that they only listen to mainstream pop type stuff so when they’re with Trent and some darker/depressing type shit like CSH comes on from one of Trent’s playlists they are so surprised.

- Likes some of what the Drama Brothers made but a lot of their brand was pushed into them by producers and the whole band kinda hated how fake things felt at times. After WT they manage to get away from that company and the band gets a lot more creative freedom making what they want. (Also changing the band name eventually bc of Trent if we’re talking in a world with my nb headcanon. Not sure when or if Trent would publicly come out but if not before the name change then they all just make something up about rebranding)

About ships! - I personally love tons of td ships being a massive multi shipper, especially with characters that are my faves (With an exception of Raj I don’t rlly see him with anyone but Bowie). Gwent was the first ship I ever got into with Total Drama and it has a special place in my heart. It’s not my absolute favorite but I still love seeing them together and au’s where they actually work things out healthily during Action or where Action and or TD didn’t happen. I love a lot of other ones too like Trustin and Trody and a lot more! I think my favorite Trent ship may actually be Trenoah, it’s really my favorite rare pair. Ik they didn’t really interact but the POTENTIAL!! They would play off of each other so well and ahhh dude I think I’d need to make a separate post just taking about those two

And that’s the basics of my thoughts on Trent! (well maybe not the basics but trust me it’s not all that I have to say about them).

I think in the future I’ll make a post about what I think their potential backstory is bc I got carried away and didn’t rlly cover that here. @ashyjingles if you want me to @ you in that just let me know!

tfw you accidentally spilled hot coffee on a random guy who also turns out to be a HUGE eel

anyways alenoah week day 2 (first encounter) ft. assistant noah…….

DAY 3 YIPPEE

Role Swap Au

When you and your worst enemy are kinda gay

i will never forgive this fandom for all they have done to beth..you guys were all for girl wrongs with heather and courtney but when beth shows up with hers yall kick her to the dirt..most of the time exclusively because she's "ugly" (which, fuck you. a girl having braces and being slightly chubby is nowhere near "ugly" she's beautiful to me)

i understand if you think she's annoying because, shocker, she's written to be a clingy, weird and socially awkward girl and that's not everyone's cup of tea. that's totally okay. i just get upset sometimes cuz a lot of the traits she exhibits and is portrayed with resonate with me as someone with autism, and seeing people make fun of her for it instead of simply just disliking her and moving on reminds me of how people would do the same with me.. 🤑

all im saying is that this fandom has a huge "pretty privilege" problem. if beth looked like heather or courtney, id bet she'd be an incredibly popular character and have tons of stans. but no. she's a weird, chubby and cute socially awkward girl with tons of girl rights and girl wrongs like the others, and yet she's drilled in as an annoying fly and is constantly just made to be the hyperactive justin fangirl. yes she's weird about justin, and yes that is strange and im not going to deny that part of her character, but it's not ONLY her character. she's a happy pig owner, she likes to sing, she wants to be a star, she's giddy about boys but also is shown to appreciate pretty girls as well, she's really into friendship, she'd be a wolf girl on the playground, she's my favorite no matter what anyone else says or tries to tell me.

sorry, autism activated..beth beloved, i will defend her from ALL OF YOU BETH HATERS

Losers

shut up make me something or other alenoah week day 2 (First Encounter/Enemies to Lovers)

Chapter four of my fic IDKW is out :D

I hope you guys enjoy!!

Fic Summary: Having an Identity crisis sucks, and it’s just Gabriel’s luck that it’s on this godawful show that he (?) was dared to audition for, at least he isn’t the only one questioning himself. His friend Trent is also having similar problems.

Or:

Gwen is a trans girl and Trent is nonbinary, but in this au Gwen doesn’t find out she’s trans or transition pre Total Drama, instead that’s when her and Trent figure out that they’re not who they thought they were.

Gwen and Trent are the main characters but Gwen is the main main character and will have a bit more spotlight than Trent.

Chapter Summary implies spoilers for chapter three!!!!

Chapter Summary: Seeing Noah pissing off his entire team was frustrating, especially considering that Gabriel didn’t have control over his own vote.

Check it out if you’re interested!
