Trent Total Drama - Tumblr Posts

Finally had time to make some actual significant progress on chapter 3 of my fic for the first time in weeks (seriously I jinxed myself so hard when I said my life was getting less chaotic and I’d be able to get out chapters faster) and ahh It’ll take me at least another day from now, probably a couple because I’m celebrating new years with my family.

But yeah I’m super excited for you guys to see it! Things are really ramping up plot wise this chapter :)

CHAPTER THREE OF MY FIC IS FINALLY UP!!

I uploaded it a couple of hours ago but I didn’t have the time to post the update here ahhh srry.

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.

Chapter 3 Summary: Trent can’t help but wonder if Gabriel is hiding something that’s bothering him, and all Gabriel wants to do right now is to scream into his pillow and possibly punch a guy.

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!

GUESS WHO’S FINALLY DONE WITH CHAPTER FOUR OF THEIR FIC!!! 🎉🎉🎉

It’ll be out by 3:30 est today at the very latest bc it’s late, I need to sleep, and I still need to write out the summary and notes. AHHH I CANT WAIT!!!!!

Here’s the link for those interested who haven’t read about it! It’s about an AU with transfem Gwen and nonbinary Trent where the two are both pre-transition when they arrive at Camp Wawanakwa, stuck having similar identity crisis’s while on reality tv (Ok wow typing it out again reminding me of how sucky of a situation I’ve put them in damn):

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!

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)

Something I wrote from Astro’s GC!

Ok this might sound outlandish at first but Trent and Courtney have some serious potential of narratively paralleling each other. So it’s canon that Trent’s dad doesn’t approve of their dream to be a musician and wants them to be an accountant or a lawyer. With Courtney it can be interpreted that she has parents who put a lot of pressure in her. I think this could be seen as two people with similar pressure put on them that went in opposite directions. Trent defying their dad by sticking to their passion and Courtney becoming the perfectionist future lawyer that her parents want. Not to say that Courtney doesn’t truly want to be a lawyer, I just find it interesting. Especially with the additional similarity shared with Trent that she has shown an interest in music.

And this in response to a couple ppl saying Courtney & Trent friendship:

Trent helping Courtney loosen up a bit and have music as a hobby and understanding that it’s okay to have other stuff while pursuing her career. They would definitely be interesting as friends tho

i love how fucking devastated gwen looks here it's like trents her tragic backstory dead wife

Was scrolling through the recents on the Trustin tag and realized just how much of it is @ver0nica985

Seriously shoutout to them for feeding us content of these losers

No.3 - new deck of cards by ashyjingles: Teen rated Incomplete 57.7k AU where Trent joins WT and is on Team Amazon!!

My Day 3 For TD Fic Rec Week: Favorite No Total Drama AU!!

No.1 - Smoke by Grey_Amethyst: As the self proclaimed No.1 Trenoah fave I feel that I have to rec this one. It’s the only Trenoah fic out there right now that isn’t a short one shot (it’s 12.9k) or one where Noah is shipped with everyone. It’s basically a high school au where they get into a sort of situationship deal and Trent for a lot of it has trouble admitting he likes boys. It’s really angsty and devastating dude I’ve reread it a couple times and every time I’m just like AHHHHHH

No.2 - That Stupid Boy Next Door - Tynoah by CinnamonToes (@butter-toes04): A three chapter so far 8.5k Tynoah fic that is so cute and funny!! It’s set during summer break in college. Tyler is back living with his dad for the summer and Noah is living on his own next door. They meet when Noah’s dog tackled Tyler to the ground and they get to know each other and crush from there!!! It’s also really funny with Tyler being in denial of his sexuality at first, even his dad can tell. But yeah it’s really sweet and cool!!!
