"It's... beautiful. In a good way"

[enteringdullsville]

I’ve always loved TD’s exaggerated running animations, but special mention goes to:

Jay, with his mantis-esque posture that Mickey distinctly doesn’t have (to the point that the wiki counts it as an error whenever they accidentally switch animations).

Leonard, Crimson, Ennui, and Kitty, whose arms barely move when they run. I could’ve sworn I’ve seen Chet run like this too.

Geoff, who has no elbows.

Josee and Jacques, with their outstretched arms, to the point where it’s jarring to see them run normally in the finale.

Noah, who’s been italicized.

And Owen, who actually has the sense to lean forward when he runs, but has tragically been covered up by the CN logo.

The stupid compression destroyed Lenny’s legs entirely

Y’all can’t say I haven’t been doing anything recently 🤞

It's kinda fun that the creators of the series just wanted to add a couple of freaks for jokes, but ended up accidentally creating a super healthy couple that most of the audience approved of.

Star In A Dark Sky (TDRR Crimsennui Fic)

When a haunted house fails to live up to Ennui and Crimson's expectations, it seems their date night might be ruined, but a game of ring toss might just save the day.

Crimsennui Slice of Life and (Fluffy?) Goths In Love.

Rated G. No warnings only fluff.

A/N: This fic was a gift for @randomsprinkles who has been insisting I post it for the world too, so I finally conceded put it up on AO3. I honestly wasn't planning on cross-posting to Tumblr, but this is for you @repo-net (I hope you enjoy it!)

Also highly recommend checking out the song "Star In A Dark Sky" by BATZZ in the Belfry (Spotify link; YouTube Link) which inspired this fic and provided its title. It's one of the most goth love songs of all time (in my opinion) and definitely makes me think of this pairing.

This story is meant to be read in their monotone, emotionless delivery and shouldn't be taken too seriously. That said, I hope I managed to give this amazing ship some well-deserved fluff.

Link to the fic on AO3 and full fic text below the cut. Thank you so much for reading! 🖤

“That was a let down.” Even though Ennui’s voice was monotone like usual, he saw the way Crimson was blinking at him and knew he was getting emotional. It was hard not to feel disappointed. That haunted house had gotten such good reviews, but it wasn’t scary at all. The blood wasn’t even realistic, and the supposed jump scares were pathetic. The actor playing the deranged chainsaw killer actually screamed when he turned to find Crimson, allegedly, sneaking up behind him, but she was really just standing there.

If Ennui was being honest, it was the best part. Watching Crimson terrify the haunted house employees made a feeling flutter in Ennui’s chest, and he didn’t hate it. Being with her made him feel like a new man—made him feel things, period. It was a strange but not unpleasant sensation. He just wished he could show her a better time than a pathetic, unscary haunted house.

“Sorry. I thought that would be scarier,” he said emotionlessly blinking at her, but when she just blinked back at him, he couldn’t tell if she was disappointed. She was so much less emotional than he was.

“It’s okay,” answered Crimson in her monotone voice. “It’s not your fault that they completely misused their budget and hired bad actors.”

Ennui supposed Crimson had a point. The problem was probably misappropriated funds, unscary actors, and bad writing. Still… “It was the only reason we came here. I would have never brought you to this carnival if I didn’t think we would get scared.” He paused—blinking at the bright, flashing carnival lights. “It’s too bright.”

Crimson nodded in agreement, but she said, “Walking past that petting zoo and watching you get mobbed by cute, fluffy animals was pretty terrifying.”

Ennui’s eyebrow twitched. The emotionless monotony of Crimson’s voice was so comforting. She knew just what to say.

“You would expect a carnival to be a little more creepy, but they really cleaned things up around here,” she continued, and Ennui nodded. He missed the days when the pier was dirty and dingy—filled with old, dilapidated buildings and shady carnies who smelled like cheap box wine and musty cigarettes.

“Things have really gone downhill around here thanks to the new management.”

Crimson nodded in agreement, and they quietly made their way to the exit. “We’re just not carnival people,” she said. “But I guess some of the games are okay.”

The colorful stalls of carnival games Crimson had just mentioned suddenly caught Ennui’s attention. Maybe he could make up for this dud of date by winning her a prize.

“Do you want to stop at one on our way to the exit?”

Crimson blinked. “Okay.”

Ennui and Crimson stopped at one of the carnival stalls for a game of ring toss. When Ennui won, he was so enthused his eyebrows twitched. From the blank stare Crimson was giving him, Ennui could tell she had definitely seen that gross display of emotions. It was embarrassing, but he couldn’t help it. Crimson brought out a very emotional side of him.   

After giving them many confused looks, the barker told Ennui he could pick a prize. Unfortunately, most carnival prizes consisted of brightly colored cotton candy and plushies of fluffy animals. Crimson wouldn’t like anything he got her here.

He let out a heavier breath than usual without even thinking to stop himself. He should have thought of that before.

Just as he was about to give up, he saw a ripped and crumbled plushie of a grey bunny hidden behind the others. It was missing an eye, was covered in dirt stains, and one of its arms was hanging on only by threads. It was perfect.

“I’ll take that one,” he said pointing to it. It took the barker several attempts and multiple directions of “Not that one. The one behind it” before he finally picked up the ripped bunny.

“Are you sure?” he asked in confusion. “This one fell off the truck.”

“Even better.” Ennui could feel the corners of his mouth twitch. It was gross, but he didn’t care. He handed the bunny to Crimson who blinked at it.

“It looks like its been through a woodchipper.” After a long pause, she looked up at him and added, “I love it.”

“I love you,” said Ennui. He paused. He hadn’t been meaning to say that even though he had been thinking it for quite some time.

Crimson merely blinked at him. Her blank expression was more unreadable than ever.

His eyebrows twitched again. Had he ruined their evening? “Sorry. I didn’t mean to make things mushy,” he said monotonously, but Crimson cut him off.  

“It’s okay.” She met his eyes—her deep, serious, and unemotional gaze sparkling like a star in a dark sky. Looking at her now, Ennui couldn’t help but think that even if sunlight was overrated maybe starlight wasn’t. And when she said, “I love you too” in that beautiful monotone way of hers something fluttered in his chest again.

Yes, Crimson made him feel things. But maybe that wasn’t such a bad thing after all.

Day 16: Favorite RR team

Look in my post history and the answer should be obvious

I'll give honorable mentions, however, to surfer dudes, geniuses, goths, and ice dancers

The Goths fanart

[canonically47]

the rockers: actually more insuferrable than i thought they'd be, well, spud at least. rock was okay. i mean i liked them both! don't get me wrong! they just had some annoying moments. again, especially spud. of the two i definitely prefer rock. they were a fun duo overall, i loved when they did air guitar every single second of their waking lives. i hated to see them go mostly because of how unfair their elimination was. you're telling me you had so many non-elimination rounds and then just threw in a double elimination? man that's rough. i DID cheer when they almost left but didn't though. i think that counts for something

father and son. i liked them more than i expected. they definitely don't make the favorite list but their gimmick was fun. i don't get why people hate the dad - or why they ship him with don, even for my standards it's kinda random (i respect it tho. love me some old man yaoi) - he was so fun. just your average wannabe cool dad. kinda reminded me of my own dad which might be why i liked him lol. junior was also pretty okay. i really liked when they reunited after the whole waterfall thing :)

reality tv pros. okay, i'll say it: FUCK NOAH. they derailed his character so hard in this. wdym he wouldn't even high five owen? help him get through his fear of flying just a bit? not let him help with relationship advice? oh, and that's another thing. nemma genuinely sucks. i don't get it. it's not even good in canon. i mean they were kinda fine at the start, when owen and kitty were talking about getting them together i thought for sure i'd like them, but then they just became weirdly lovey-dovey and just.. yuck. nah. not to stereotype but emma is dressed like a lesbian and should actually have been a repressed lesbian. she reminds me of myself in a lot of ways. but anyways back to noah and owen, i'll come back to emma... owen was funny as always, i love the guy. noah was... something. yeah i didn't like noah. i actually despised noah in this. he was at his worst. but i can't expect the TD writers to treat their characters decently so at this point i'm keeping my tears to myself.

the goths: one of my favorite duos to grace this show. just... their whole bit was so fun. i loved them so much. they were amazing. they deserved to get further than the... others. as previously stated for the step brothers, ennui is only higher because i like his character design more, and also his whole bit with loki was more pronounced than crimson's with loki and i liked him for it. still love crimson, and i really like them both equally, ennui is just. hehe character design :3

the daters/haters: shut the fuck up. actually? just die. especially stephanie. ryan is just boring and hogs the spotlight a lot, whatever caleb 0.5 BUT STEPHANIE??? oh my god FUCKKK that girl bro. one of the worst characters on this show AND THAT'S SAYING SOMETHING OKAY. just. fuck her. okay moving on

the best friends: ugh. just. ugh. so annoying. their whole gimmick was annoying. okay marinette and adrien 2.0 like i wasn't even rooting for them at all. when they kissed i was like... oh great CAN WE MOVE ONNNNNNNNNN??? yeah sorry i despised these two. prileb but worse. at least prileb had potential. these two were just doomed from the start by the narrative

the sisters: i expected to like emma more. i still like her, i just expected not to fucking hate her entire "omg noah i love you sooo X3 and i HATE my sister ugh >:(" thing. like. why was she like that. why do the most lesbian looking women on this show get the most mid boyfriends (i love you noah NOT IN RR THO YOU CAN DIE IN RR sorry. sorry) but yeah kitty is definitely my favorite sister. their dynamic got better after noah left, and was better before nemma was forced down our throats. i loved their bits THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH NOAH and overall they definitely could have made the favorites list IF. NOT. FOR. NEMMA.

seriously nemma was a NIGHTMARE. sorry. just had to throw that out there

the ice dancers: i expected to dislike them or have mixed feelings on them but honestly? i just like them. they're fun. they know what they want. they're the epitome of antags in this show. they were so good. they knew what their job was and they executed it perfectly. not much to say on them just... love them

the surfer bros: in my mind they lost. i liked them much less than i expected , that being said geoff rose on my list after this season. he was an asshole in TDA but he makes up for it in RR. they are the hockey bros 0.5 and i love them... that being said they are so annoying and brody's gimmick with macarthur was uncomfortable to watch. and like. why did they give him a belly in that one episode. was that necesarry. also why did they come back lmfao. just bogus to me. they were fun but definitely don't deserve to win or anything

the cadets: unsurprisingly, my favorite of the bunch by far. macarthur was higher than sanders because of her witty and funny lines. sanders was so good in later episodes, but most of the time until then she just spent whining about macarthur. that being said macarthur WAS kind of an asshole. but anyways enough about the bad shit, MACARTHUR I LOVE YOU. I AM AROMANTIC AND ACESPEC BUT FUCKING MARRY ME. PLEASE. I ADORE YOU. PLEASE. MACARTHUR ONE CHANCE PLEASE. PLEASE... such a fun duo and MACARTHURRRR <3 so many good moments MACARTHUR!!! <33333 and yk what. ripper macsanders child in my heart. because yeah.

thoughts on every ridonculous race duo including don at the beginning because i just finished watching it for the first time. continued in reblogs

don is such a fun host! he doesn't want anyone to get hurt, and doesn't push anything 'for the ratings'. and even so, he manages to have a lot of funny, witty moments. of course, chris is still my favorite host, but don definitely cuts it close!... especially because, let's be real, we all forgot anyone else in the universe. (don't come for me blaineley fans she's fine I SAID DON'T COME FOR ME STAY BACK PLEASE I HAVE A FAMILY)

the LARPers. definitely some... interesting characters. they're the prime example of total drama's flat and boring personalities, most of which were distributed in pahkitew island. i'm kinda mad that, of all those horribly mid and boring characters, we got the most mid and boring one back. hell i'd have preferred dave there, he'd had given us some substance to the story. i don't even remember the girl's name and i don't wanna google it. forgettable, but definitely annoying for as long as they were on screen.

the tennis rivals. good, but overhyped i think. at least, i've seen a lot of people talk about them and ship them, especially since their cameo in the reboot. i for sure thought they'd last longer because of that. i really liked their banter but they don't come close to my favorites. i will not be calling any of their agents. sorry :(

the geniuses. yeah they definitely existed! i mean their characters were fine and i really don't have anything against them, plus their concept is kinda fun. but i absolutely despise courtney's character and hearing her voice come out of another contestant's mouth made me hate her immediately. I STILL KINDA LIKE HER... like, her character design is fun... i just don't care for them that much

the vegans. they look sooo pretty and.. that is the sole reason i put them down as 'i vibe with'. i really don't care for them. i don't even know their names lmfao

the fashion bloggers. sooo fun whenever they were on-screen. unfortunately this show is so predictable and i can tell when a character's arc comes to an end and they're going home. i don't wish they stayed longer tbh? i like them but i think they've had their time. the wlw/mlm solidarity ever next to the ice dancers but we're getting to them. anyways, solid duo!

mom and daughter. ugh. fuck you

the adversity twins. i don't want to sound like a copypasta so i'll keep it short but GODDD THEY WERE SOOO ANNOYING. does NOBODY else feel this way?? i swear before i watched RR i only saw good things about them. HOW? LITERALLY HOW??? they are so fucking annoying and all they do when they're on screen is whine. "ooh mickey is allergic to breathing :((" "actually jay has a water allergy :((" AND THEN THEY HAVE THIS OP SUPERPOWER WHAT THE FUCK IS TEMPERATURE DYSLEXIA THAT DOESN'T EVEN EXIST ahem. excuse me. getting too worked up over thE WORST DUO. SHUT THE FUCK UP let's move on sorry i'll control myself

the step-brothers. idk about you guys but they are really close to being my favorite duo. just... their entire gimmick is so good. the build-up to finding out they're so similar... ough the bros ever. i was so sad when they got eliminated :( they were so funny AND fun. lorenzo is higher than chet because i like his character design more. tbh they're kinda the same person to me? but this is a mistake i made before watching RR, thinking every duo is the same person. which they're not, i quickly learned. at least not most of them. but yeah these two were very fun, they bounced off each other very well. i really liked them. they should've gone further methinks.
