I Think The Saddest Part About How Man-focused Tdroti Was Is That I Can See Remnants Of Storyline Attempts

i think the saddest part about how man-focused tdroti was is that I can see remnants of storyline attempts with the girls yet they were still literally not fleshed out at all, nor did the girls hold any meaningful relationship with each other.

For example, Jo's whole deal with femininity and the "big hairy body issues" line in the dress up episode that was completely dropped? That could have become a small arc with her and the other girl maggots. Jo should have been able to get over her insecurities and realize that maybe she IS like other girls. She doesn't have to insult them over how girly they are. The maggot girls really should have interacted with each other past their strange rivalries in general, actually. Anne Maria and Zoey never got a chance to really move past that perceived love triangle, and they really should have considering how much relevancy Mike and Zoey had the season after.

Most of the tdroti girls are such missed potential in my mind and oh how it Sucks to see . it could have worked so well with the right screentime allocation. I know that Anne Maria was initially meant to be in TDAS, and I really wonder if they would have fleshed her out at least a little more if that were the case.... i still love tdroti so much but dear lord can someone take me to a universe where we had jomaria rivals to lovers arc i would kill for that any day of the decade

I WOULD IF I USED ANY OF THEM (I DO NOT)

i'm contemplating posting fanart that isn't related to total drama on here because i like. i made it for my birthday and it's based on a piece of work that i adore and has influenced me by a lot but i'm like restraining myself somewhat since this account kind of became purely abt total drama 😭

hi so i uploaded my older TDA au where Ezekiel was in it and got redeemed on tiktok and it BLEW UP, so i made more art and then THAT BLEW UP so im posting it here too.

context; I made an au where Ezekiel was brought into TDA and he was redeemed, he was friends with Beth and Lindsay, he got development, its great! In my last post about it, I said that i wanted Justin to have a bigger role as an antagonist in this au. So i decided that, like Owen, Zeke has a crush on Justin, only it's much more serious then Owen's (whose was mainly played for laughs)

this image is to show how that would work; basically Justin would manipulate Ezekiel, distracting him from challenges and when the merge happens, as an extra vote to get further in the game.

i also accidentally made a lot of people ship these two, which is very funny, i hold so much power right now /j
