Total Drama Kitty - Tumblr Posts
total drama characters who i hc as aromantic (and maybe aroace) with little ramblings under all of them because I believe the world needs to know
Ella's in denial about being aro- it's her internalized amatonormativity. She obviously looks up to fairy tales with happy endings where the girl gets the guy and lives happily ever after. I think she turned to "liking" Dave for a bit because of that, because he fulfilled this role of being her “prince”, not because she actually liked him all that much. Typical hopeless romantic turning out to be aro situation (or maybe I’m projecting). Maybe an explanation as to why her liking Dave feels so forced to me, or maybe I want to justify Pahkitew’s bad writing
DEEJ. DJ. I think he’s been sure of this for a while now. He doesn’t show romantic attraction towards anyone in the show at all, and in instances when it's insinuated by his peers he seems repulsed at the idea (this post here just sums it up so much better than I could). He's super content with how things are for him and long accepted that he’s aro. He’d probably still want to be in a QPR though imo!
OKAY. Realizing now that Ella’s really the only one I have any interesting reasons for hcing as aro because I can’t say much about Kitty BUT SHE’S SO ARO TO ME. Like you know when you’re aro and have that hindsight towards everyone else’s romantic relationships and also give killer love advice because of said hindsight. THAT IS HER.
I made this joke post a few weeks ago and was like, "haha, what a funny crack ship. not like I'll ever treat it seriously though."
so. ABOUT THAT
YEARNING: this au/hc I have about courtney and emma being childhood rivals turned best friends turned to. whatever this is.
I'm writing a little something for this au right now and I don't want to spoil it too much. but I'll spare some details on how their friendship formed, plus other hcs that apply to this au:
courtney and emma are the top students at every school they've attended, which caused them to butt heads the first time they met
in middle school, however, they were both beaten by a different kid in their annual quiz bee- in which they were both mutually outraged by. they decided to put their differences aside to get to the bottom of if the game was rigged or not (it was)
it made them realized they weren't so different and even balanced each other out- with emma being more level-headed, patient, and passive while courtney was more impulsive, assertive and risk-taking, which they both respected each other for
they became inseparable since, and are closest to each other more than anyone else, and encouraging the other at a constant to become better
high school comes sometime later and emma is first to become aware of her feelings for courtney as she's realized that she's bi, and is out to both courtney and her family. courtney, however, is in denial of her own feelings and has yet to come to terms with her own sexuality
emma is chinese-filipino, her full name being emily "emma" grace liu
courtney is venezuelan-filipino, her full name being courtney sofia perdomo-de guzman
they're both bi, but realize this at different stages in their life
if you read this through- thanks! here's some bonus doodles I did while trying to flesh things out in my head:
"total drama island?"
katherine "kitty" joy liu (supportive of her achi softening up)
