When You Have That One Headcanon That Only Like 5 People Share But That Just Makes You Love It All The

When you have that one headcanon that only like 5 people share but that just makes you love it all the more

(Yes I’m talking about Trent being nonbinary again)

I JUST WANT HIM TO BE HAPPY ;-;-;-;

alejandro knows his parents do not love him.

still, he thought -

he hoped -

that they would still pick him up after total drama. even if he is a failure, he is still their son, still their responsibility -

don't even talk to us. you are a disgrace.

well. alejandro is almost an adult, but almost is not enough.

his parents have abandoned him, he lost the money, he trashed his reputation on international TV for nothing, he... he...

he kissed noah last night.

that was nice. but he cannot crash at his maybe-boyfriend's place indefinitely when things are still so new, still so fragile.

so he is back to where he started. waiting for someone who will never come.

he hasn't told anyone else that. why would he? why would he admit that his parents have finally cut him loose, finally made it explicit how much they do not care, finally crushed his foolish hope that one day, they will love him -

to anyone, let alone a bunch of people who hate him?

to noah, to prove that he is ultimately unlovable to the one person who might actually stay, who saw through him but still saw someone worth pursuing?

it was a pipe dream, thinking that winning a reality show could trick his parents into loving him. but total drama had accepted him over jose.

for once, for once, he had been better than jose.

none of that matters, now.

families - not his family, never his family - turn up for his fellow contestants in droves.

some are awkward -

heather scowling at her parents' faux cheer -

cody being ignored by arguing parents -

some are not.

he sees noah whisked away by a loving mother and sisters. he doesn't go over.

a part of alejandro wants to, but they only kissed last night. it is too soon, too much.

still, his heart aches.

the day wears thin, the sun setting over the horizon.

alejandro has some money. he will figure something out.

he will.

now, if only he can get the water out of his eyes.

but then -

then -

someone does come for him.

someone he has not seen in years.

carlos.

carlos smiles at him. his hair long, his shirt untucked.

alejandro rushes forward and hugs him, closing his eyes.

thank god.

🗣️🗣️WRITERS AND FUTURE WRITERS, PLEASE LISTEN UP❗️❗️

i saw a few tiktok videos that was very concerning to me and i decided to share some of the knowledge i got because as a community of people who freely write things about characters, we need to protect our work. i have sadly forgotten the name of the tiktok users but if you guys scroll upon it, please let me know so i can properly credit the people.

GOOGLE DOCS IS NOT SAFE❗️apparently google created this AI that allows them to see your google docs documents, fics, works, whatever is in there, let an actual human read it and have it used in an AI without crediting the original writer. so if you use google docs, please watch out for any suspicious new buttons or notifications asking you about allowing access to your documents

THEY GOT THE AO3 WRITERS AS WELL❗️apparently some thieves i am NOT calling them people because who with moral compass would do this shit? are copying, pasting and printing out popular fanfictions on AO3, binding them, turning them into actual books and selling them on places like Etsy WITHOUT crediting the original authors. which is why we can’t find some certain popular fics or authors on AO3 (credit to tiktok user sakuradarling)

TUMBLR IS SELLING OUR WORK/PROMPTS TO THIRD PARTY WITHOUT CONSENT❗️i think i came across a post or two about it. i think my mutual @livelaughlovesubs has reblogged a post about it. check it out and turn on a switch on your blog settings that prevent this. stay safe and protect your works writers

spread the word everyone, because… genuinely what the fuck?

Petition to change Gwidgette's ship name to Midnight Surfing

i genuinely hope that boop day inspires everyone to interact more with other tumblr users. because it’s clearly way more fun this way!! even once the boop button is gone, there’s still asks, tag and ask games, comments, dms, fuck it let’s bring back blog rates i don’t care. part of the reason that tumblr is dying is that its way less social than it used to be. let’s fix that!!
