Funny thing is I may have accidently on purpose did this with Cody, Noah, and my main OC Dakota. First, I fell down the Island of the Slaughter rabbit hole then I fell down the Noco rabbit hole, now I ship it and suffering through extreme brain rot. And want to write a fanfic of IOTS were Noah, Cody, and Dakota are the main trio then wondered what it'd be like if the threesome started dating each other and now I have a new ployship.
nothing better than shipping a ship where one of the people have a canon love interest
"arent they with-?" I DONT CARE

All the 2023 contestants were born in 2007 and grew up with the show being off the air, so they were all 100% in the trenches of ship drama in the td fandom defending their ships. Here's my 100% correct do not @ me headcanons for each characters favourite ship.
Priya: Zoke, she was put on some block lists because she said she shipped all of Mike's alters with Zoey and no one else. Her parent's grounded her and made her watch Vito x Anne Marie edits as a punishment.
Bowie: If Gwourtney has a million fans, he's one of them. If Gwourtney has five fans, he's one of them. If Gwourtney has one fan, he's that fan. If the world is against Gwourtney he is against the world.
Millie: Thinks it's incredibly problematic and childish to ship real people. But Bawn.
Julia: Got her first taste of internet fame by claiming Blainely and Chris were in a secret relationship. When this comes out this will cancel her worse than the dinosaur thing and she will be forced to go into hiding for her own protection.
Emma: Wrote poly drama brother buys you from your parents fics. Chase read these out on a live stream and they stayed together.
Chase: Not a shipper but was defending Duncan with his last breath over the love triangle stuff.
Zee: Zee hasn't actually seen the show he thought he was auditioning for 6teen, in which he ships Judesy.
Ripper: I don't know whats telling me this but Leonard and Beardo. I think he saw a photoshopped image of them together with red arrows and he's currently convinced they're in a relationship.
Wayne & Raj: Lyler is unironically relationship goals for them, they celebrate their anniversary every year
MK: Commented under Noco posts "Uhm, what about Nemma?" and then watched the world light on fire. Ships Nowen.
Scary Girl: She unironically thinks Sierra is really normal but doesn't ship her with Cody because she just doesn't like him, thinks he fumbled her. Ships Heatherra, Bowie sent her death threats over this and she sent them back
Nichelle: Runs in the same circles as Chris, saw Chris and Chef together all the time despite Total Drama not being on, just assumed they were partners.
Axel: Shasmine anti, thinks Jasmine is gaslighting Shawn about the zombie stuff, wrote a long angry reddit post about it and got banned from the total drama subreddit.
Caleb: Gwent, also got death threats from Bowie and tried to @ Gwen and Trent to come to his defense.
I take no criticism. šŸŖ…Jester ass looking piƱata

May I please request poly yandere total drama cody and Noah throughout the seasons? Or just a general story when/how they kidnapped their darling and when the darling wakes up?
of course! <3 thanks so much for requesting ! not too proud of this, i really hope you liked it though! i'm so sorry if it isn't exactly what you asked for :(
yandere poly!noco x reader . .
songā¤¹Ėš ; pretty boy by tv girl
cw : un-consensual drug use, kidnapping, gaslighting, manipulation, guilt-tripping, basic yandere behaviour.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
cody and noah are kind of different as yanderes, noah gaslights you, and cody guilt-trips you. they do argue like an old married couple about you though, cody thinks you need space, and noah thinks that'd just give you a chance to run off.
cody's paranoid, but noah is much more paranoid than he'd like to admit.
but they love eachother, and their love for you is stronger than any other feeling they've had. you're a need to them.
and they'd do anything to keep you close by them.
ą­­ šŸ§· āœ§ Ėš. įµŽįµŽ šŸŽ€
geoff had been hosting a reunion party for the contestants, and noah and cody thought this was the perfect chance! you were a sweetheart, of course you were gonna attend. even if you didn't have too.
you looked amazing as usual.
noah and cody were the only few people that you really talked with after the show, so you immediately went to them. you three talked for a bit, well you mainly talked. the two boys looked at you with dreamy stares the entire time along with occasional nods to make it seem like they were listening.
''oh, watch my drink for a sec?'' you handed noah the red solo cup, before turning to lindsay who was waving you over.
it was just too easy, the pill he slipped in wasn't harmful, you were just gonna pass out for a bit, and land directly into their arms..
after lindsay, bless her heart, talked your ear off for a little bit, you walked back to the boys with that smile they've grown too fond of. almost immediately, you took a sip of your now dosed drink.
of course it took a few moments to kick in, you started to see black spots surround your vision after maybe, five minutes? and before you knew it, you dropped. thankfully, cody catching you.
''oh my god, are they okay?'' bridgette spoke worriedly, ''probably just had a bit too much to drink, right, noah?'' cody slightly stumbled over his words, looking at noah for help.
''yeah. don't worry, we'll drive them home.'' noah reassured, putting your limp arm around his shoulder. ''are you two sober enough, though?'' bridgette felt a weird stir in her stomach, something about this wasn't right.
''we're fine.'' cody said with a bit of harshness in his tone.
''..okay.'' she sighed defeatedly.
after what felt like hours, you started to wake up, your vision starting to unblur as you looked around your unfamiliar surroundings, were you dosed? god, who could've done such a thing? were you gonna get murdered?
panicked thoughts ran through your mind as you became more aware.
the more you started to get conscious, the more you realized how much your wrists were hurting.
you blinked a few times trying to see clearer before realizing your wrists were bound by a zip-tie, digging painfully into your skin, it'll probably leave a mark.
''oh, they're finally awake! cody!'' you recognized that montoned voice. it was unusually cheery and you didn't expect to hear that voice at all.
cody had fallen asleep against noah's shoulder waiting for you to wake up, the two were sitting on the floor infront of you.
cody rubbed the sleep away from his eyes before looking at you with a bright smile.
''took you long enough.'' noah smirked, ''noah? cody?'' you were dumbfounded. these were your friends, the two people you trusted with your life.
you grimaced as your head started to pound, ''um, sorry, one of the side effects were headaches..'' cody apologized with a sheepish grin. ''should go away soon, though!'' he said quickly afterwards.
''god, i'm so glad you're here though! my two favorite people in the same room, wow.'' he beamed, hugging you and noah close. you stood completely still in shock, not know how to respond, it was moving so fast. so many things you were questioning in your head, going over habits you looked past with them.
''you should get comfy though, you're probably gonna be here for a bit..'' noah reminded.
''it'll be easy though, three lovebirds finally all together.''

cody or geoff?
i'll do both!
Sexuality Headcanon:
cody: bisexual
geoff: just vibing. probably bi though
Gender Headcanon:
cody: can see him as a trans guy
geoff: can see him as a cis or trans guy tbh
A ship I have with said character:
cody: trody
geoff: don't have a strong ship with him but poly surfers are cute
A BROTP I have with said character:
cody: wish he and sierra actually got to be healthy friends tbh
geoff: him and duncan and dj!
A NOTP I have with said character:
cody: noco. and gwody. and alecody. sorry y'all i don't like most cody ships
geoff: uhhh idk. i want to like gweoff but i feel weird about it for some reason. wouldn't call it a notp though
A random headcanon:
cody: will team up with harold to annoy duncan
geoff: is trying to be better friends with courtney because she's bridgette's friend but legit does not know how to interact with courtney without annoying her
General Opinion over said character:
cody: i really don't find him that interesting sorry y'all. he has some funny lines though!
geoff: he's fun but ppl can make him too innocent/kind. even before the captain hollywood thing he was still pulling pranks on harold with dj and duncan. actually i think geoff and dj are both seen as softer than they are in canon, probably because of the contrast duncan brings

Risky opinions on ships?? 3 fandoms Teen wolf, Total drama and South Park
Teen wolf- Sterek is disgusting and dont even tell me ā€œHes an adult now!!ā€ PEDO Its SAD I see tags in ao3 that say ā€œStiles and Derek are the same ageā€ WHATT?
Total drama- Noco. Noco is cute but i wouldnā€™t ship them unless its a poly (im very creative when it comes to ships for this fandom)
South Park- Style. Interesting ship not all that cute tho.

You know what let me take a creak at this.
šŸ’– What is your primary writing goal for this year?
Answer: I hope to start work on an actual original story to publish either that or get more attention on my fanfics.
šŸ›³ Are there any new ships you want to write for? (Platonic, romantic, or anything in between.)
Answer: Yes, I fell down the Island of the Slighter (A Total Drama Island Horror AU) rabbit hole near the end of last year and I officially ship Noco now (Noah and Cody) I 100% plan to write fic's for these two, but I also added my OC Dakota into the mix and now I have a new threesome pairing. I'm calling it Nocota. Also I had a few Gorillaz fic ideas that have Dakota paired up with Noodle and Cyborg Noodle could be added into the mix too so yeah going through my Poly and Pan Eria this year.
šŸ¤” Are there any new characters you want to write about?
Answer: Yes, I already mentioned Noah and Cody so let's switch gears and talk about my other OC's I have a paranormal Investigator au I've been wanting to do for years now staring Emily this recent fic fellows her and certain killer cyborg girl as they solve a secret underground case with a master detective and a death god. :3 I'm having a lot of fun coming up with their dialog.
Does anyone in IRL know you write fanfic or original fiction? If not, do you plan on telling anyone this year?
Answer: Yes, my entire family knows and supports me I've read my work to them quite a few times and really want to read more
šŸ„µ Any plans to write steamy or spicy content this year?
Answer: Absolutely NOT!!! šŸ‘Ž šŸ¤® I'm sex repulsed asexual I will never touch smut with a 12 FOOT POLL. So yeah, I can handle implied or referenced but not full-on smut never gonna happen.
šŸ‘» Is there a new genre you'd like to write?
Answer: Wouldn't mind dabbling, in horror and supernatural aspects some more but other than that I can't think of any genre I want to branch out in.
šŸ¦„ Is there a new POV you'd like to try writing?
Answer: Yes, I'm dabbling with multiple narrators for a story that will be posted eventually.
šŸŒ What is one of your smallest writing goals?
Answer: Getting more reviews on all fic's I love kudo's I really really do but comments make me so happy, and I enjoy getting constructive criticism when it's helpful and can help me improve my work.
šŸ¦– Are there any fandoms you wrote for in the past that you'd like to return to?
Answer: Aside from Kingdom Hearts, My Babysitters a Vampire, and maybe Goriilaz a part of me wouldn't mind returning to Danganronpa and working on the Killing Despair series again Probably won't happen this year.
šŸ„ Are there any fandoms you've never written for but want to try?
Answer: Total Drama I haven't thought of that series in forever, however I've got some fic ideas. Also, more Gorillaz fic's (I know I've wrote for this fandom, but it was only one fic I have to do more.)
And Paper Mario I have wanted to do a Super Paper Mario retelling for years now.
šŸŒˆ What research do you plan on doing for your writing?
Answer: Not sure to be honest maybe self-publishing and ways to monetize original works (Maybe web noveling)
āœØWhat's one area of your writing that you think needs the least amount of improvement?
Answer: In character dialog I've gotten really good at that, these past few years.
šŸ„• What's one area of your writing that you think needs the most amount of improvement?
Answer: Scenery description and character description plus battle scenes I've never been good at those.
šŸ«˜ Spill the beans. What's a new project you're doing this year?
Answer: I'm working on a Master Detective Archives fanfic a Super Paper Mario retelling to celebrate TTYD remake and hope to finally finish my first ever fanfiction my Kingdom Hearts origin story The Adventure of a Lifetime.
šŸ„³ How are you going to celebrate when you achieve one of your writing goals?
Answer: Freak out, thank everyone for getting me this far, and do a happy dance and tell everyone I know.
šŸŽƒ Do you plan on writing any seasonal fics?
Answer: Yes, I try to get a Halloween story or fic update out every October and while I don't have plans for Valentines this year maybe I can post a little something to celebrate it
šŸ¾ Do you plan on writing for any fests or competitions?
Answer: No, too much pressure I've done two Tumblr character prompt weeks, and I couldn't finish either of them in time in fact those fic's are still in my WIP I hope to finish them this year.
āœļø Which stat matters most to you (if at all!): subscriptions, kudos/favorites, comments, bookmarks, word count, or hits?
Answer: I try not to focus on stats as I feel a low number will only demotivate me, I don't care if my stories don't get many comments, I reason with myself saying if a fic is too popular, I could get bombarded with comments asking me to update it again. I hate when other people struggle with this, and I know it'll be a bother to me I already feel guilty leaving people hanging when it takes months for me to update a fic I haven't posted in a while.
šŸ‘¾ Do you have any "bad" writing habits you want to break?
Answer: Yes, starting a fic I'm really excited about, working on it for a few days then dropping it only to come back to it months or even a year later. I want to finally finish some fic's that have been rotting in my wip's for ages now.
šŸ¤– Are you looking to change your current writing setup? (Or establish one, if you don't have one?)
Answer: I think my current writing setup is okay I sit at my desk, open my word doc, and start writing.
šŸ¦· Is there a chapter, scene, or WIP you're dreading to write (but is necessary to your plot)? Share a snippet or tell us about it!
Answer: I can't think of any off the top of my head, aside from fic's that are dead because of my writer's block but I am feeling a little sad about finishing the Adventure of a Lifetime story I've been working on it on and off for the past five years and ending it feels weird, good thing I've got more KH games to write about. I do wonder if I'll cry once the story ends though? Like I did when I finished KH1 for the first time when I was like five.
šŸ’„Is there a chapter, scene, or WIP you're most excited to write? Share a snippet or tell us about it!
Answer: Yes, the obligatory ship chapter to a new story I'm working on, without spoiling too much main character stumbles upon two boys by the river as she narrowly escapes a supernatural encounter. She sees the two about to have an intimate moment (As in kissing) and tries to quickly leave stepping on a twig and gives away her location as they stare at her in shock now expecting to see a new face.
But that's all your getting from me ;)
šŸ•Will you be making any changes to your posting schedule (if you have one)? (Or do you want to establish a posting schedule?)
Answer: Already made a post on this but the TLDR is I'm writing a fic for a week and if a chapter get's done it will be posted next month hoping to post every Friday this year.
šŸ› Is there a new trope you'd like to write this year?
Answer: Polyamory, (Is that a trope?) A few canon divulgence/fix it fic's I wouldn't mind doing and AU's/retellings ya know the usual
šŸŖ© Do you have any "good" writing habits you want to cultivate?
Answer: Making sure I take breaks every now and then, (As of right now at least) writing isn't my job it's just a hobby so I shouldn't feel stressed out when I don't meet a certain quota it's okay to take a break.
šŸŽ‰ How are you going to be kind to yourself if you don't meet your goals?
Answer: Simple, I just look at what I did do that year and try to do better next year knowing my goals will be achieved eventually
šŸ’Œ Are you willing to take requests or prompts for writing?
Answer: No, my golden rule is, if I don't know the fandom, I won't write for it. Plus, my inconsistency for writing I'd just be keeping that person waiting and I really don't want to do that. The last time I said one would only take a few days week at most it took me a month and ended up becoming a two shot. So no, no requests for me but I might do prompt fic's again if I can keep up with them.
Welp that's it and was a lot of fun if anything sounds interesting to you guys keep an eye on my ao3 and fanfiction.net accounts and Tumblr since I'll be posting updates throughout the year.

Hi!! If your requests are open,can you please do polyam yandere!Noco(Noah and Cody) x Reader relationship headcanons? Their from total drama btw! But if request are closed please delete this!!
Ofc ofc! Poly?? Noco??? šŸ˜³šŸ’???
Tumblr media
Good luck trying to escape like. Ever lmfao
-No but seriously, good luck. They make a pretty good team usually, but add you into the equation? They put in their all.
-Noah is usually theĀ ā€˜mastermindā€™ behind things, setting up your handcuffs room and ways to get you to them.Ā 
-I feel like Cody would be the more stalkerish type? Like, trying to figure out what you like and whatnot for your new room!Ā Ā 
-When they finally bring you home (read: kidnap you), get ready to be smothered 24/7.
-Seriously, you wonā€™t be left alone for a second. Want to eat? Here, Cody can feed you! Itā€™s what couples do, right? Want to read? Sure, just let Noah sit with you. He is the bookworm after all, heā€™ll have plenty of recommendations.
-It gets even worse at night. The two of them will have a firm grip on you, forcing you into this strange little cuddle pile cocoon for the night.
-They both have their own ways of manipulating you, I feel like Cody would lean (sometimes unintentionally, but only because he genuinely thinks theyā€™re right and what theyā€™re doing is okay:() towards guilt tripping, constantly making puppy eyes and using the excuse of ā€œWell, this is what couples do!ā€ while Noah would be towardsĀ infantilizing you, mainly through small comments like how they always have to help you and how you should just leave everything to them.
-If you constantly reject their advances though, thatā€™s when things start getting tense.
-Their patience will run thin, after a while. Theyā€™re only human! This is the only part where they actually donā€™t agree with things? Noah thinks that some isolation would be good for you, whereas Cody just thinks that they havenā€™t shown you enough love. This is the only time they actually yell at each other :(
-Eventually they do decide on Noahā€™s idea. After all, theyā€™ve given you so much, so how about they take it away for a little bit hmm?Ā  (Actually kinda wanna write a fic on this..)
-However, if you accept, itā€™ll be a lot better. I mean, you have two loving, doting boyfriends, what more could you want?
-Constant cuddle time. That is all-
Tumblr media
Is it obvious I love these two sm šŸ˜­

Codejandro (yes I made this name up but I've seen the ship)
Nowen
And Noco
And also Noah x Tyler but y'all aren't ready for my rarepairs just yet.
Therefore they are in a big poly relationship that I am titling

27 on the pride ask game!
27) Some LGBT+ pairings you ship?
there's a lot! i usually don't go near straight ships as much just bc, yknow, gay. lets see uh, going by past hyperfixations, i dont take spongebob seriously enough to really care about ships either which way, dan vs i really like the idea of dan chris and elise being in a poly V around chris, pinescone is a soft spot for me having grown up with it, frender is a classic (altho freela is just as enjoyable to me which is rare for a m/f ship but of course i hc them as t4t), and thats mostly what i can think of off the top of my head? also honorable mentions to ships like narumitsu and rupphire who are more like, fandom in law ships than things im active in. also all the total drama random ass ships i come across, with the kind of show that is they ALL feel like crackships and i love most of them (though noco/nowen/gwourtney are high on the list again for personal nostalgia reasons)

okay so i ranked 113 total drama/ridonculous race ships based on how much i like them with explanations below the cut.. fair warning that iā€™m a lil mean to some of the ships lower on the list.
also i forgot to include dwayne senior and that one girlā€™s mom from rr because i literally forgot they existed until now, and i donā€™t want to manually add them in so iā€™ll just say that i think theyā€™re cute but not super interesting.
EDIT: this has been updated post-roti-rewatch. i switched around the order of a couple ships, and added a new one. if i ever rewatch rr or pahkitew iā€™ll probably edit it again, but the likelihood of me rewatching either of those seasons any time soon is... ok i was about to say it was slim but itā€™s probably not
also iā€™m not ever adding in dwayne and the mom because i like it being a part f the description lmao. an afterthought. as it should be.
enjoy!
113. stephanie/ryan - i HATE the daters/haters. theyā€™re like a weird, shitty mix of tda gidgette and duncney. like, theyā€™re either annoyingly all over each other, or theyā€™re toxic and fighting. tbh, theyā€™re pretty toxic all the time. they stuck around for way too long imho.
112. jacques/josee - I CHANGED MY MIND IGNORE THIS
111. tom/jen - tom is canonically gay, and i hc jen as a lesbian. so iā€™m not a fan of this ship.
110. nemma - yeahh, knowing me, this is also a predictably low ranking. i hc noah as gay and emma as a lesbian, so again, i donā€™t vibe with this one.
109. coderra - i can only deal with this ship in rewrites. iā€™ve seen super well thought out rewrites of coderra and sierraā€™s character, but as it stands, i really donā€™t ship this at all.
108. davesky - dave is an incel lmao. anyway yea this ship initially seemed like bootleg zoke, which was kind of bootleg gwent, but then BOY did davesky get worse. i canā€™t stand dave and i canā€™t stand pairing him with sky, either.
107. leonard/sugar - why. i hate both of these characters. no thank u.
106. ella/dave - ok so u know i donā€™t like dave. i also hc ella as a lesbian, she hasnā€™t realized it and is dealing with comphet. i donā€™t like this ship.
105. topher/ella - i hc both of them as gay. they are friends tho.
104. macarthur/brody - in case youā€™re noticing a trend, i do in fact hc macarthur as a lesbian. i also donā€™t really care about her at all lmao. anyway, not a fan of this one. i really donā€™t understand why fresh thought this was a good idea.
103. noah/katie - again, i hc noah as gay, but this ship is more funny to me than anything else because these characters were shipped together so often early on, when they both a) barely had any characterization and b) had never interacted? anyway yea i donā€™t ship it.
102. cameron/sierra - this oneā€™s weird? literally sierra had a crush on him or whatever because he reminded her of cody even though theyā€™reā€¦ nothing alike? dude please get sierra some therapy oh my god
101. heather/justin - i knew someone who really, really shipped them once, which is why iā€™m including it. anyway i cannot see this ship at all, next.
100. amy/rodney - i guess this existed? i barely remember pahkitew, and i know rodney had a bunch of crushes, but this is the main one i remember so itā€™s the only one i can be bothered to include. anyway this relationship didnā€™t seem healthy at all.
99. max/scarlett - i donā€™t like max and i donā€™t really care about scarlett, but i also hc both of them as gay, so this is a no from me.
98. gwody - creepy and bad. i donā€™t trust people who ship this or davesky.
97. dashawn - shawn can do better. that one scene where they look at each other when dave has to kiss the person next to him is kinda funny tho.
96. topher/dave - marginally better than all other dave ships just because topher is there and i like topher. again tho, topher can do much better.
95. malejandro - why does this ship exist.
94. ezekiel/bridgette - not my thing at all. i donā€™t care about zeke too much, and i have a lot more ships with bridgette that i prefer over this one.
93. cody/beth - i only care about cody in certain contexts, and i practically never care about beth. i wouldnā€™t click off of a fic if this were a background pairing or whatever, but i definitely wouldnā€™t seek it out.
92. ezekiel/beth - again, donā€™t really care about beth or ezekiel that much. but in certain contexts, i can see why this would be cute.
91. courtney/jose - the only way this is cute is alongside aleheather, so that courtney and heather could marry into the same family. but also, why is this a ship that exists?
90. scourtney - i love both scott and courtney, but no thank u. they had absolutely no chemistry, and courtney was using scott both in the competition and as a rebound. not a fan.
89. gwen/cameron - is this a thing that exists? i found a screenshot of gwen kissing cameron on the cheek but is that edited? if it is real, i probably blocked it from my mind.
88. courtney/cameron - now i know this one exists in the weirdest, stupidest way the show couldā€™ve gone about it. barely even qualifies as a ship, and itā€™s definitely not a good one.
87. duncan/zoey - i kind of see why others would like this one, but at the same time, it doesnā€™t really appeal to me.
86. alejandro/courtney - i love alejandro and i love courtney. but i can only see them as friends, tho i can see them like. kissing just because theyā€™re bored. or to fuck with people. they did that in the show, right? kind of? i forget the specifics.
85. chris/blaineley - while i guess i can see why people ship this, chref is canon and blaineley is a lesbian.
84. katie and/or sadie/justin - why would katie or sadie date justin, when theyā€™re in love?
83. gwuncan - maybe couldā€™ve been good, but literally everything about how they got together and their relationship in canon has tainted my view of this ship. i definitely preferred them as friends in tda anyway. thereā€™s a lotta cute gwuncan fanart out there so i do rb it sometimes tho. i see why people ship this, i get the potential, but for me itā€™s soured by world tour.
82. laurie/miles - who?
81. mary/ellody - yea ok theyā€™re smart gfs, but also i literally donā€™t give a shit about either of them.
80. pete/gerry - theyā€™re definitely dating but again i donā€™t care about them.
79. mike/cameron - not a horrible ship by any means, i just donā€™t really like cameron that much.
78. alejandro/justin - there are so many superior alejandro ships. and a handful of slightly better justin ships.
77. carrie/devin - wow they didnā€™t have a storyline that was original in any way! theyā€™re pretty cute tho.
76. sanders/macarthur - would be higher but acab.
75. macarthur/josee - i really like the whole rivals to lovers thing, but again, acab. this is higher than sanders/macarthur because of the rivals to lovers, but mostly itā€™s because thereā€™s only one bastard cop here rather than two.
74. owen/alejandro - i donā€™t really mind this one, but i see it as more of a one sided crush on owenā€™s side.
73. lightning/cameron - i donā€™t really care about cameron, but the jock/nerd dynamic is kinda good.
72. rockspud - theyā€™re definitely a couple, but as the trend indicates, i really canā€™t bring myself to care too much about rr ships.
71. lindsay/beth - best beth ship, worst lindsay ship. i like one this better if lindsay is also dating tyler.
70. lindsay/lightning - a crackship i made up when i was eleven. i just think itā€™s really funny.
69. noco - not a bad ship, itā€™s just not my thing. i definitely see why other people ship it, i just ship both of them with other people.
68. ella/sugar - i see why people ship this as well, but i just really donā€™t like sugar. i can bring myself to see past that because this dynamic is genuinely good.
67. sierra/heather - iā€™ve seen this in auā€™s and rewrites of sierraā€™s character, and i see the potential. not bad.
66.Ā bawn - theyā€™re cute i guess? i just never really saw the appeal. theyā€™re not bad by any means, it just seems kind of bland.
65. dakota/zoey - okay so iā€™m adding this one in as iā€™m reordering stuff because i rewatched roti. i didnā€™t have this here initially but their friendship was cute until zoey was allĀ ā€œsheā€™s scaryā€ and voted her off. just saying, if zoey wasnā€™t written as a hypocrite and was actually written as a COOL character that lived up to the potential of her concept, this wouldā€™ve slapped. also i love any combo of dawn, zoey, and dakota, because theyā€™re cute. iā€™m not including poly ships on here because thatā€™d make things wayy complicated, but iā€™d be here for a poly ship of these three.
64.Ā scott/zoey - UPDATED. was originally ā€œyea something about this rubs me the wrong way. i feel like if i rewatched roti i would remember what, but iā€™m not going to do that just for this list. maybe someday.ā€ i ended up rewatching roti for unrelated reasons the next day, and honestly? this one is not that bad. could be cute, potentially.
63. dj/katie - i guess this oneā€™s pretty cute? i donā€™t really remember them interacting, but i guess i can see why someone would like this.
62. dunhar - i see why people ship this one. i kind of like it? i feel like it would work really well in an au or a rewrite.
61.Ā dott - UPDATED. was originally ā€œi used to kind of like this ship, but now i really donā€™t. i do love the idea of dawn and scott as best friends who bully each other in the friendly kind of way, though.ā€ but i rewatched roti and... this has potential. i kinda like it. still prefer the bullying friendship tho.
60. scott/mike - again, i see why people would ship it. iā€™m not sure if people actually do? but it seems like the sort of thing i might have shipped in middle school, so someone probably likes it. but meh, itā€™s not really my thing anymore.
59. topher/shawn - i donā€™t remember if these two interacted but i guess this could be cute? maybe?
58. sky/ella - yea itā€™s cute i guess? i donā€™t really have an opinion on this one beyond that.
57. dawn/dj - i meanā€¦ i get where this comes from. i fully understand. i personally see them becoming close friends, but i also see why people would ship them.
56. dawn/brick - again, i see them much more as friends, but i get why people would ship them.
55. geoff/gwen - this ship kinda interests me because it was originally going to be canon in camp tv, but because of that one gweoff friendship episode in island i see them as unlikely friends.
54. dj/bridgette - maybe youā€™re sensing a trend here, but i see them as friends. i could probably get on board with shipping them, though.
53. deather - i like them as friends more, but i do think a relationship between them could be fun.
52. ella/dawn - i feel like iā€™ve seen this ship? itā€™s not bad! iā€™m not the biggest fan of ella but this is pretty cute.
51. zoke - i really want to like them, and i wish they were written better. as is, i kind of ship them? thereā€™s nothing wrong with zoke. but both as characters and as a ship, they couldā€™ve been so much better.
50. noah/justin - this oneā€™s interesting! iā€™ve never actively shipped it, but i can see it for sure. itā€™s cute!
49. owen/justin - again, not something iā€™ve actively shipped, but i like it!
48. carrie/kitty - i think theyā€™re both in their late teens? like 18ish? appropriate ages for each other? if so, i like this one. theyā€™d be cute
47. josee/jen - yea i like this. i feel like they would get along pretty well. theyā€™re both successful in their own right. power couple for sure.
46. tom/jacques - again. power couple. i also think theyā€™d go on double dates with jen and josee, which i like a lot. honestly both of these teams are the epitome of mlm/wlw solidarity. i like this one.
45. alecody - i like it! i donā€™t have much to say about them at all, but i like it.
44. brody/geoff - good ship! putting the romance in bromance. i like this one more when itā€™s combined with gidgette though.
43.Ā anne maria/vito - originally i put ā€œwhat is the appeal of this ship? genuinely asking.ā€ as the description, and then an anon sent in this reply: ā€œYou wanted the appeal of anne maria and vito? Well here it is; they are both so dumb. Not a brain cell between the two of them. Imagine them trying to do anything domestic like. They could not assemble a bookshelf or make a pot of spaghetti without it turning into a horrible, but memorably fun, mess. Theyā€™re soft for eachother but would kick anyoneā€™s ass for so much as looking at the other. Sorry im rambling lmao i just think they are so funny togetherā€. i get the appeal now, so iā€™m moving this one up.
42. lindsay/courtney - lmao their dynamic is so funny. i donā€™t know how well a relationship between them would go, but i can see court realizing over time that lindsay is a lot smarter than she initially seems to be. idk courtneyā€™s observant and lindsay is actually pretty smart. i can see it happening.
41. trent/justin - best justin ship, worst trent ship (that i can think of. iā€™m sure there are more trent ships but i canā€™t think of them lmao). i can see them getting along pretty well! i bet in universe a bunch of drama brothers fans ship them, because of course they do. i can see the potential here.
40. lindsay/heather - yea this one could be good. iā€™d like to see a post world tour version of this ship, or an island au where they get together. either way, i like the idea of this one.
39. lindsay/gwen - again, this ship is pretty good. gwen was kind of rude to lindsay at points, but i think after she stood up to heather, gwen gained some respect for her. idk i can see it happening.
38. lightning/scott - is this jock/farmer? jock/asshole? iā€™m not sure, but i really like it.
37. harzeke - tumblr user harzeke has opened my eyes. their posts are enlightening. the reason i kind of like ezekiel. harzeke is a good ship.
36. sadie/lindsay - remember in phobia factor when they were hyping each other up? yeah. theyā€™d be cute together.
35. dundie - you know, i really didnā€™t expect them to make this one canon, but total drama dundie came outta nowhere. i wasnā€™t sure i was going to like them together, but fresh pulled together itā€™s first coherent plot in years and created a beautiful love story. very well done.
34. chref - chref is canon and u canā€™t tell me otherwise.
33. katie/sadie - after they got over their comphet, they realized they were in love and they end up having a really cute wedding.
32. ozzy - this ship is cute! theyā€™re both bi and i hc they talk about cute people together because of course they do. also they would be so much fun to be around. i like them.
31. dj/geoff - djeoff? yea i like this. i think theyā€™d both go out of their way to do sweet things for the other, but of course, theyā€™re still geoff and dj. dj would probably bake a lot for geoff, but at least once, heā€™s gotten nervous and dropped it by accident. and geoff practices pick up lines and jokes before their dates but theyā€™re like. the bad ones. dj loves them. anyway! this ship is good.
30. courtney/trent - i really, REALLY love them as friends, but i like them as a ship too! honestly i just love them getting along in any capacity. i think theyā€™d be cute.
29. dawn/dakota - i made this up five minutes ago and i love it. i have no idea if people actually ship this but they should. justā€¦ think about it for a second. think about it and then try to tell me iā€™m wrong. u canā€™t.
28. alenoah - noah had a crush on alejandro during world tour, and u can quote me on this. i think they would be a power couple for sure. i like this one.
27. gidgette - season one gidgette is amazing. gidgette in the context of the killer bass five is amazing. season two and three gidgette is kind of meh to me, but not horrible i guess! i like geoff and bridgette and i think theyā€™re cute together.
26. duncan/dj - i like the idea of this one. remember when duncan found dj a bunny? yea. theyā€™d be cute.
25. jock - jock is good. rivals to allies to lovers. thatā€™s the path i see this ship going down. i really like picturing them in any sort of au where they can kick ass together.
24. gwourtney - i used to like this one a lot more, but itā€™s still very good. i love the idea of them both mistakenly attributing their feelings for each other to duncan and accidentally ruining their friendship in the process. and by love i mean hate but also think is a good interpretation of the love triangle. i can see them together in an au, or after seriously reconciling in the future. or, honestly, in any universe where sundae muddy sundae doesnā€™t exist.
23. leshawna/gwen - did i hear u say best friends to lovers? no? well youā€™re getting them anyway. leshawna and gwen would be amazing iā€™m telling u. itā€™s a good ship.
22. tyler/alejandro - this is the third time iā€™ve said someone had a crush on alejandro during world tour, but. tyler had a crush on alejandro during world tour. i think theyā€™d make a cute couple.
21. jashawn - this is a relationship built on respect and trust and i am here for that. theyā€™re both a lil weird but neither of them mind, and they care about each other so muchā€¦ iā€™m soft.
20. jasammy - i like this only marginally better than jashawn. honestly, i like all three dating the most. but anyway, jasmine was the first person who saw sammy as more than an extension of her sisterā€¦ she stuck up for her. she was sammyā€™s first real friend. can i just reiterateā€¦ iā€™m soft.
19. evzy - they would light your house on fire together just cuz they were in the mood. eva bench presses izzy every morning. do not try to challenge them to any sort of competition, they will win by any means possible. eva picks izzy up at every opportunity. whenever they cook anything, they burn it. is this by accident or on purpose? iā€™m not sure. izzy likes lighting stuff on fire and eva likes eating burnt food for some reason, so it doesnā€™t really matter. i love their dynamic so much.
18. jomaria - if u were talking shit about either one of them, they would both get together and beat u up. theyā€™re both legends and i love them.
17. gweather - total trauma comic has truly opened my eyesā€¦ i really like them in a future setting where theyā€™re both more mature and can understand how they were both in the wrong at times during total drama, and ended up hurting people and were hurt themselves, and work through that together. so basicallyā€¦ in the setting of the total trauma comic.
16. heather/leshawna - rivals to loversā€¦. au where leshawna and heather get together during tdaā€¦ iā€™m telling u itā€™s a good ship.
15. nowen - imho, this is both the best noah ship and the best owen ship. they complement each other so well. world tour nowen is just. the peak of their dynamic. i think enough has been said about nowen that you can understand why i would like it, so iā€™m just gonna move on.
14. trody - this one came outta NOWHERE a while back, iā€™m telling u. but i love it?? i liked their friendship in island, and i just. i love the idea of cody having a crush on both gwen and trent during island, misunderstanding that and thinking he just has a crush on gwen, and realizing after island at some point that he also liked trent. and then trent developing a crush on cody after the breakup with gwen and justā€¦ dijfalsfjla honestly i like them in so many contexts. thank u tumblr user gothcody for bringing the trody hype. anyway theyā€™re a good ship!
13. bridgecourt - my favorite bridgette ship! idk i loved bridgette and courtneyā€™s friendship in island, and i can see them having a best friends to lovers type of deal. i just think theyā€™d be cute together, and their relationship would be really healthy and balanced.
12. gwoey - u can try and tell me there wasnā€™t a little something between these two in all stars, but u would be wrong. their designs compliment each other really well, theyā€™re cute togetherā€¦ iā€™m a fan.
11. lesharold - SO valid. harold drinks his respect women juice every morning, except for that one time he rigged the votes in island to vote out courtney because he was mad at duncan smh. anyway this is a relationship built on RESPECT and CARE. theyā€™re very cute together, and i love them.
10. dawn/zoey - the superior doey. listen the only reason these two werenā€™t friends is because fresh decided that zoey was going to think dawn was ā€œweirdā€? but what if zoey just said that because she didnā€™t know how to deal with the fact that she found zoey cuteā€¦ zoey is the epitome of that ā€œi had a crush on a girl and i didnā€™t know how to deal with it so i sent her a letter that said ā€˜get out of my schoolā€™ā€ tweet. n e way they would be such a good couple.
9. samkota - dafjlsflkaakf i think about samkota and i freak out iā€™m telling u. like is there anything. ANYTHING. better than a guy loving and respecting his girlfriend unconditionally? and mutual love and respect? ā€¦ well i mean there are several more entries on this list, so okay, maybe a couple of things, but this shit is galaxy brain right here.
8. aleduncan - ok so apparently something i like slightly more than partners who are soft and even softer for each other is total assholes who care about each other. like alejandro is a gentlemanā€¦ but heā€™s a manipulative jerk too. and duncanā€™s a fucking asshole and i love him for it. anyway when they teamed up in world tour, especially in that episode where they hunted ezekiel (??? what is total drama??) i really liked their dynamic.
7. lyler - ok back to love and respect. tyler and lindsay are so good!! tyler got so excited when lindsay remembered who he was right? and lindsay never stopped asking ppl if they were tyler ok. like she knew she cared about tyler enough to want to be with him even when she didnā€™t know who he was?? i feel like we donā€™t talk about the implications of this enough. honestlyā€¦ i feel like people overlook how much the period in between tylerā€™s elimination and slap slap evolution must have sucked for both of them? like it was played for laughs butā€¦ that shitā€™s sad :( ok iā€™m done being sad theyā€™re cute and they love each other and i love them.
6. gwent - yea u got me i still care about them. tdi gwent was really sweet! there was a lil pining. a lil outside meddling. and a lot of cute. and GOD during the finale when trent ran alongside gwen with that boulder? he cared about her so much!! of course action ruined it with the shitty portrayal of ocd and a healthy portion of not fucking communicating with your partner, but before that it was good.
5. truncan - you got me, i like the idea of trent serenading duncan with his guitar and duncan liking it a lot more than he anticipated. i think theyā€™d have a dynamic thatā€™s a little more turbulent than most other trent ships, but less so than most other duncan ships. theyā€™d be a lot more balanced i think. iā€™m a fan of that.
4. scuncan - okay so u remember how i said i like to ship two fucking assholes together? scuncan is peak asshole/asshole rights. all stars totally missed their chance to have these two team up by dumbing scott down, whatever they did with duncan, and of course, introducing scourtney, iā€™m just saying. scott was actually playing the game pretty well in roti, and duncan was a veteran of the series. the two of them couldā€™ve dominated the game. those fuckin assholes.
3. aleheather - okay now this ship was like, the only central ship that started out good and ended good in this entire series, except maybe jashawn but they donā€™t count because they were literally only in 13 episodes. anyway they did rivals to lovers right here. also, they simultaneously gave heather a great character arc and wrote alejandro super well. so the characters as individuals were great at the time they got together, and the couple was great together, so what iā€™m trying to say isā€¦ aleheather was and still is amazing.
2. duncney - in case u couldnā€™t tell from how high gwent is on this list, i am a fan of the tdi ships. another thing you might be able to tell from this list- duncan and courtney are two of my favorite characters in the series. so of course duncney gets a high placement on this list. not only that, but they go from disliking each other to really liking each other, which is something else that i really like. tdi duncney is opposites attract in the best way, where they compliment each other each other instead of clash. beyond thatā€¦ ugh. eughhh. i donā€™t even want to think about that. but duncney in tdi alone earns itself number two on the list.
1. heathney - yes i love girls. yes this ship is pretty fucking basic. and no, there are no heathney fics on ao3. i will be attempting to remedy that. anyway, i could see them pulling a rivals to friends to lovers as well, which is one of my absolute favorite tropes. i think theyā€™d be a total power couple. and to top it off, i love them both. a lot. so much. thank u for ur time.

Weld Countyā€™s top public health official warned commissioners against full reopening, documents show
more news https://northdenvernews.com
Weld County businesses got the green light to reopen this week despite serious concerns expressed by Dr. Mark Wallace, executive director of the Weld County Department of Health and Environment.Ā 
A day before the five Weld County Commissioners unveiled their ā€œsafer-at-workā€ initiative, Wallace warned against it, according to internal emails obtained by The NoCo Optimist through a Colorado Open Records Act request.Ā 
COVID-19 IN COLORADO
The latest from the coronavirus outbreak in Colorado:
MAP: Known cases in Colorado.
WRITE ON, COLORADO: Tell us your coronavirus stories.
DAY IN THE LIFE: How people across Colorado are coping
STORY: Coronavirus-related calls are dominating Coloradoā€™s mental health crisis hotline
>> FULL COVERAGE
ā€œThe relative ineffectiveness of actions and interventions to control transmission in Weld County as evidenced by our ongoing high case rate raise serious concerns and considerations for staging reopening,ā€ Wallace wrote. ā€œWeld County has not met the threshold for reopening of a downward trajectory of cases. Any relaxation of restrictions should be cautiously staged given the risk of even wider spread of the disease.ā€
Wallace wrote the county still has widespread community transmission with outbreaks in nursing homes and several large employers.Ā 
As of Wednesday, Weld County had 1,769 confirmed positive cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, and had seen a total of 94 deaths due to the virus. The outbreaks in the county include one that has sickened hundreds of workers and killed at least six people at the JBS beef plant in Greeley.Ā 
Statewide, there were 14,758 confirmed positive cases and 766 deaths, according to state data.Ā 
Weld County has logged the third-highest number of deaths in the state, behind Denver and Arapahoe counties. Yet, Weld had more cases per 100,000 people than Denver or Arapahoe counties, state data show.
The commissioners announced the safer-at-work initiative last week on the heels of Gov. Jared Polisā€™ ā€œsafer-at-homeā€ executive order. The governor has warned that Weld County is risking losing its emergency preparedness grants by flouting his mandate.Ā 
Counties are able to apply to the state to relax restrictions on peopleā€™s movement beyond what the safer-at-home order allows. But Polis said Weld County hasnā€™t done that and also still has such a high rate of virus transmission that itā€™s unlikely theyā€™d be eligible to move forward with less restrictions.
The JBS meat-packing plant in Greeley resumed operations April 24, 2020, after a brief closure due to a coronavirus outbreak. (John Frank, The Colorado Sun)
Weld County hadnā€™t seen a consecutive decline when commissioners made the call, and Wallace made that clear in his emails to the commissioners.Ā 
ā€œWeld County and the Front Range communities have failed to cross the foundational threshold of flat or declining cases for 14 days called for in federal, state, and local guidance,ā€ Wallace wrote to the commissioners, according to the internal emails. ā€œI have serious heartburn looking at our data in Weld County.ā€Ā 
Weld County Commissioner Mike Freeman ā€“ who represents northern Weld, including Windsor, Severance and north Greeley ā€“ said in an interview April 24 the commissioners made the move partly because it seemed the governor was picking winners and losers.Ā 
ā€œItā€™s hard to explain to a mom-and-pop business why pot shops can be open and they canā€™t,ā€ he said.Ā 
Though businesses were able to put things on pause for 40 days, many folks are running out of money, he said.Ā 
ā€œWeld County is not opening any businesses, just like we didnā€™t close any businesses,ā€ Freeman said in an interview with The Optimist. ā€œConstituents are going to open businesses anyway. We felt it was in the best interest of Weld to issue guidelines to help keep consumers, employees and business owners safe.ā€Ā 
Meanwhile, the city of Greeley on Friday said it would follow the governorā€™s orders.Ā 
ā€œBased on the medical and scientific data, and the high number of cases in Weld County, the City of Greeley strongly supports following the ā€˜Safer at Homeā€™ philosophy,ā€ Greeley Mayor John Gates said in a news release. ā€œThis approach protects lives, flattens the curve and is a step in the right direction for getting our community back to a fully operational economy.ā€
In an interview with the Optimist, city councilmember Tommy Butler, who represents northeast Greeley, said the county commissioners did not consult with city council before announcing their decision.Ā 
ā€œThis is not the time for political games,ā€ Butler said. ā€œWhat the county put out was antagonistic. We need to make sure things are as safe as we can before we can reopen.ā€Ā
