[td-rarepairs]

Describing every single rare pair of total drama I have, if you hear the name Ezekiel a lot, get used to it:

Ezekiel x Harold:

This is one of my favorites, Yes, I was the previous Harzeke anon

Ezekiel x Duncan:

Opposites attract? Lemme consume all the art of it (I don't even like one of the characters here, but I still ship it)

Ezekiel x Justin:

Anyone here who shipped this before slimeysoda's au?

Ezekiel x Geoff:

It all started when I saw a funny looking piece of fanart, then I went down the rabbit hole, and now I ship it.

Ezekiel x Noah:

This can also be used to summarize most of the ships here, because I can

Ezekiel x Tyler:

The first guys who fell for Alejandro, you guys mainly all talk about "I like girls!" Meanwhile Ezekiel doesn't even deny it, just that "Wow eh..." IT FEELS LIKE I'M GRABBING AT STICKS TO SELF PROJECT- Wait, where am I? Or right, Ezekiel x Tyler, dumbass x dumbass

Ezekiel x Alejandro:

Same as above, just minus the Tyler specific part, and directed specifically at Alejandro.

Ezekiel x DJ:

They both love animals, and you can't rid that headcanon from me (on Ezekiel's side, DJ's love for animals is canon).

Ezekiel x Trent:

Ruined character gang.

Ezekiel x Eva:

Last one with Ezekiel, Ok? Anyways, this is the only straight Ezekiel ship I like, Lifts them like some grapes x some grapes, anyone?

Harold x Lightning:

Blame Totaldramarama for this, but you can't explain that "Your handso- I MEAN AWESOME!" Line, and the blush afterwards without at least a little bit of contemplating if that was a childhood crush representation.

Owen x Justin:

I'm starting to see a theme with kinda canon but not explicitly stated, Owen is a Bi-con and no one can change my mind.

Izzy x Eva:

It just works imo.

Katie x Sadie:

I eat up friends to lovers for diner

Raj x Wayne:

Same explanation as Katie x Sadie, just less annoying.

Wayne x Damien:

Himbo x Smarter, Gotta love that dynamic, also, enemies to lovers too! Well, I still feel like that whole enemy thing with Damien was meant to mean like Wayne doesn't see him as an enemy, instead he has one giant crush, but he doesn't wanna feel like he's copying Raj by having these feelings too, so he pretends it's an enemy thing.

Dave x Shawn:

I hate Dave with every inch of my body, but I accidentally fell into this rabbit hole, and now I ship it, trust me, this is the only Dave ship I have.

Alejandro x Tyler:

It's a great dynamic, but in the end, the video we shall not speak of messed it up.

Geoff x Brody:

I wanna see them marry all over again.

And that's all that I have that I'm not questioning the rare pair validity of, I have two more I'm questioning and I'll mention them here:

Gwourtney

Nowen

Thank you for listening to my rare pair list.

[fraudulent-cheese]

Anyways, here's all the little comic maker edits i had to make for the Ultimate Relationships Tier List because alot of these just. don't interact in canon at all, or don't have good screenshots with them both on screen

...Oh, and here's two that didn't make the cut because i did end up finding screenshots were both were next to eachother

Feel free to use this for any purpose btw, even if i did 100% intend for some of these (alejandro + kitty, alejandro + gwen) to be representative of friendships and not romantic ships!

[courtney-deserved-better]

wrote a silly oneshot about the gen 4 kids in high school finding out that their teacher (transfem harold) is dating a football legend (lightning). go check it out!!

[tdbowie]

have to go with... Harold!

harold!!! [crowd cheering]

Sexuality Headcanon: harold graduated lgbt university with a major in bisexuality and a minor in lesbianism. i hope this makes sense LOL gayass harold ^_^

Gender Headcanon: blinks cutely at my url <3 i'm very fond of every trans harold hc but she's sooo transfem nonbinary. to me<3

A ship I have with said character: the h-bombs!! they'd have a 3 day relationship that changes the trajectory of both their lives #yuri #situationship they wouldn't last more than a week but they are exes and best friends and also enemies as well as each others no.1 hater/defender. hbombs 4ever

A BROTP I have with said character: tyrold... they could’ve been so cringe (<- said lovingly) together in world tour. aletyler dynamic but harold is there also.

A NOTP I have with said character: hmmm not sure. canon lesharold maybe? i can't think of any rn harold plays well off of everyone.

A random headcanon: after td she becomes a moderately successful youtube video essayist (she makes those videos that are 8+ hours long) and has a podcast w the drama brothers :) autism wins!

General Opinion over said character: when i watched td as a kid i don't remember even being aware of harolds existence but rewatching as an adult he's of my characters ever. there should've been 8 seasons of harold. also i've never seen napolean dynamite so as far as i'm concerned teedee invented gingers that are Like That

Lightrold (Harold and Lightning)

Dumb and Dumber

.

[courtney-deserved-better]

still can't believe im the first and only writer of a harlightning fic. i totally understand that's it's a rarepair but im pretty sure harold canonically had a crush on lightining in that one episode of dramarama im surprised there isn't at least one other fic

[courtney-deserved-better]

I think you infected me with Lightning x Harold (Transfem Harold specifically) thoughts. I keep thinking about Lightning bragging about having the cutest girlfriend.

And like. Yeah, he’s being supportive, but Lighting’s also prideful and absolutely means it. Absolutely is hyping Harold up all the time because that’s who he is.

you are so real for this!!! transfem harlightning!! lightning absolutely WOULD brag about having the cutest girlfriend <3

[courtney-deserved-better]

HAROLD!!!

Sexuality Headcanon:

loves women!! idk about guys but definitely loves women

Gender Headcanon:

harold is transgender in every direction all the time but my particular fav is transfem harold

A ship I have with said character:

harlightning! it's so silly but that one episode of dramarama convinced me. baby harold had a crush on baby lightning and you cannot tell me otherwise. i remain the only person on ao3 to post a harlightning fic lmao

A BROTP I have with said character:

lesharold! and the h-bombs! honestly that stretch of time in action with the harold-leshawna-heather-duncan-dj team was elite, we need more of that group

A NOTP I have with said character:

i don't hate it and i think it can be funny but i cannot take dunhar seriously as a ship if that makes sense

A random headcanon:

half of the annoying shit he did was intentionally to bug duncan simply bc he did not like him

General Opinion over said character:

can't believe i used to think he was annoying. i mean he is annoying but he's such an icon. and super fun to write

[td-rarepairs]

Do you have any specific rare pairs you like?

this has been in the inbox for a WHILE because i DO but my memory goes blank every time i try to think of examples gjsjdjfwjd

sometimes what's really appealing to me is characters that could have had really interesting dynamics if given the screentime.... and sometimes it's about. i like these guys individually so i think they should kiss ^_^

off the top of my head, i really like lesheather (with fanon heather </3), the h-bombs, harlightning, harold w anyone out of his league lol. i guess i'm just partial to dynamics involving my favorite characters <3

[courtney-deserved-better]

feel free to send me asks about these ships!

[td-rarepairs]

my opinions on different pairings shift DAILY but here's some i've been thinking abt recently :^)

gweshawna. their s1 dynamic was so good and listen, i know there's a surplus of gwen ships out there. but genuinely her and leshawna would be soo good together fresh pick up the phone

lesheva. this one is sillayy but cute..... they're a bit jomaria coded now that i think abt it.

leshizzy??? in the same vein as lesheva. remember when they got lost together in that one challenge.... they made out on that raft and then leshawna made izzy promise to never bring it up

jeather. jwen. jomaria. jawn. jourtney. jameron. jott. self explanatory i think, i just love jo so much. also jo/lightning but only when lightning thinks she's a guy. they should've kissed in that cave THEY SHOULD'VE KISSED IN THAT CAVE!!!!!!

any millie ship tbh.... i'm a genwunner at heart so most of these are gen 1/2 BUT listen. millie needs to get her yuri on sooo bad. prillie is very good #autism but consider millzee? damillie? axmillie? michelle (lol)? imo millie is such a good character that she makes every possible dynamic good and interesting (the heather effect, if you will)

mk/nichelle because mk's reaction to meeting her was so cute😭 i am rooting for them #yuri

ella x beardo because umm. they'd make sickass music together. just vibes

any dj ship tbh i looove him. s1 djuncan. people have submitted djuncney, djoah, and djyler. all EPIC!! let's keep the ball rolling guys! djeoff, djent, djbrick, djott. many such cases!!!!!

i think it would be funny if harjustin. or aleharold. similarly, harlightning or harbrick. yknow??

i have more but i'm stopping here because i am SLEEPY and also my opinions might completely flip by tomorrow LOL. i always enjoy talking and reading abt this stuff so feel free to send your OWN list of pairs!! ok good nighty now
