Name: Takashi Abbottsford Pronouns: he/him Gender Identity: cis male Sexuality: bisexual Aspiration: Extreme Sports Enthusiast Traits: Nosy, Dance Machine

__________

Takashi: Hey, world! How's it going? My name is Takashi Abbottsford, and I'm from Willow Creek. I'm sixteen years old, my birthday is August 13th, I'm a student at Willow Creek High, and I like pizza and energy drinks. Actually, my dads always say I probably don't need energy drinks, but hey... we can always use an extra boost, right?

Let's see... Other stuff about me... I love sports! I like snowboarding, rock climbing, soccer and swimming the best, and every time we visit my Papa's family in Mt. Komorebi, I always spend as much time as I can on the mountain. Shredding is life! Yeah!

Um, okay... My favourite colours are green and blue, and my favourite season is winter. I like video games and I like to cook. I also like dancing, like a lot, and I like rocking out to my favourite bands. I can play the piano too, although not as well as my brother Forest, which is a bummer because he won a medal at the youth music festival last year and I kinda messed up during a trio performance with two of my sisters, and of course Forest made fun of me about it. Siblings... ugh!

Yeah, so while we're on the subject of siblings, I should probably tell you about mine, and my two dads as well. My family falls squarely into the category of 'wild facts you could never make up', no joke.

We're a stupidly large family, just so you know. I'm the youngest of six siblings, and all six of us are science babies. My oldest siblings are Camellia and Forest, and they're twins. Next is Matsu, and then there's the triplets; Midori, Willow and me. Oh, and if you're wondering about why some of us have English-sounding names and some of us have Japanese names, it's because our Dad, Fox Abbottsford, is a Canadian and our Papa, Takahiro Suzuki, is Japanese. They met in Japan when Dad was there on a working holiday visa, and they have this absolutely crazy love story, but that's a tale for another time. The reason for our mixed bag of names is because they wanted us to have names that reflected both their cultures, so here we are.

Oh, and fun fact. Me, Matsu and Midori don't have middle names, which is part of Japanese naming tradition. Forest, Camellia and Willow do have middle names, and I don't know if I should be envious of that or grateful that I only had to learn how to spell two names instead of three when I was in first grade and we were all practising how to write them.

Right. Why did I sign up to be on Total Drama?

Hooo man... where do I even start with that? When you're one of six, 'total drama' is a way of life! I figured I'd be pretty good at it, because I'm used to chaos. I mean, 'chaos' should be our family motto or something.

Actually, let me tell you the real reason I signed up, besides the ongoing total drama in our household.

When you're one of six, there's this never-ending competition for attention, and this constant need to distinguish yourself from your brothers and sisters. Don't get me wrong. I love all my brothers and sisters, especially my older brother Matsu, but it's hard to be the youngest and the most unremarkable. I don't just have one shadow to live in. I have five.

For example, my absolute nerd of a brother Forest is like, this insanely gifted artist, just like Dad. Forest already has his illustrations in a children's book and he's only 18. Also, despite being Nerd Number One, he somehow managed to land the most popular girl at school as his girlfriend. Also, Forest's girlfriend Caroline is hot and she's a star athlete. Everybody's always talking about how great they are together. Like, how's a guy supposed to level up to that?

My other siblings all have their thing, too. My sister Camellia is good at acting, and Matsu is amazing at sports and the captain of the cheer squad. Midori and Willow are identical, which always gets them noticed just because, but also Midori is already planning her career as an aesthetician, and Willow is super-smart like Forest and wants to become an engineer.

As for me, I'm not sure what I want to do yet. I'm okay at most things, but not awesome like my siblings, and I don't have my future figured out like some of them do. I'm thinking maybe I'd like to be a police officer and work in something science-y like forensics, 'cause I really love science. Or I might like to be a journalist, 'cause I'm good at finding out stuff that people don't necessarily want me to know.

My dads keep telling me that being nosy isn't really a good thing, but I prefer to think of it as inquisitiveness. Anyway, I'd use my powers for good, so I think it's okay.

Everyone says I talk too much, so I should probably wrap this up so I don't annoy people too much. Kinda insecure about that, to be honest, but like... I can't help myself. Sometimes I feel awkward 'cause I don't know if I'm talking too much or not and I'm worried about what people might think. Like, 'Oh no, not that guy again. He can never shut up', or whatever.

Okay, that's it, I promise! I'm super pumped about this show, and I can't wait to meet everyone! Bring on the adventure and bring on the drama! Your boy Takashi is READY FOR IT! Woo!

Day 0 - Introduction

🎵 Dear Mom and Dad, I’m doin’ fine. You guys are on my mind… 🎵

Welcome to the premiere of THE 2ND SEASON of Total Drama Sims: the hottest, freshest reality TV show on simblr. I'm your host jonquilyst, though if you tuned in to the show last season, you'll already know who I am!

14 more teenagers have gathered to put their wits, guts, and strength to the test to seek out the ✨ grand prize. ✨ Like last season, they will compete in crazy challenges, deal with less-than-perfect living arrangements, and face the judgement of each other!

🎵 You asked me what I wanted to be, and I think the answer is plain to see… 🎵

🎵 I wanna live close to the sun. Pack your bags 'cause I’ve already won… 🎵

Allow me to give you the grand tour of the no-longer-abandoned film lot we claimed for this season! Instead of cabins, contestants will be staying in these cramped trailers, just like actors on set! There's one for each team with 7 beds each and complimentary bathrooms.

Our mess hall is a bit less rustic than the one we had at the summer camp, but it's got that same ol' charm with 2 dining tables and a small living area for everyone's convenience!

Now, on to the fun part: replacing the shoddy outhouse, our contestants' destination for providing their juicy confessionals will be a makeup trailer right behind the trailers! Get used to it: it'll appear every single day with a different contestant providing their thoughts.

And finally, the auditorium! This will be the site of our ever-so-exciting elimination ceremonies. In front of it is the walk-of-shame, where losers will say goodbye to Total Drama Sims to catch the lame-o-sine at the very end!

🎵 Everything to prove nothing’s in my way. I’ll get there one day! 🎵

Now, allow me to formally introduce you to our 14 new contestants!

Wait... What About Teams?

Yea... about that: teams will be sorted a little differently this season! Instead of randomized teams right away, they are being formed after the first socialization day, when everyone has time to form relationships! Shortly before the first challenge, two people will be selected at random to be the "captains" of the teams. From there, they will select their teammates schoolyard-style (alternating between boys and girls) based on their relationships with the other contestants!

Fox loves the waterslide. Meanwhile, Takashi doesn't love that his dad loves the waterslide.

[stargazer-sims]

Here are the three younger Abbottsford siblings; Takashi, Midori & Willow

They're triplets, although people don't always believe it on first sight because Takashi doesn't look like his identical sisters. Takashi is loud, outgoing and into sports, Midori is artistic and a little eccentric but just as friendly as her brother, and Willow is just happy to be here.

[stargazer-sims]

boss babies

The triplets look like they're getting ready to fight somebody. They are the final boss for this level. Their secret weapon is cuteness (and stubbornness). Try to defeat them, if you dare!

(L-R) Midori, Takashi & Willow

—————

random triplet facts

The kanji for Midori’s name is 碧 and it means “green”. Takashi’s name is written as 山 and means “mountain”.

Willow has a middle name, while Midori and Takashi don’t. She’s Willow Rain.

Midori and Willow are delayed in their speech and communication. It’s less due to a cognitive delay than it is to the fact that the girls would rather communicate with each other than anyone else. They demonstrate the phenomenon of cryptophasia, or “twin language” that only the two of them seem to understand. They’re currently getting speech therapy. (bonus fact: Camellia and Forest don't demonstrate cryptophasia)

Unlike his sisters, Takashi is a little chatterbox and is ahead of the communication milestones for his age.

The girls love to dress in matching outfits, but because they're identical, their dads prefer to dress them in similar outfits of different colours so it's easier for people outside the family to tell them apart.

Sometimes Takashi wants to match with his sisters. This led to the infamous photo with all three triplets in matching dresses (because Takashi demanded a dress of his own). Grandpa Cam was highly displeased, but everyone else who sees the photo thinks it's hilarious and adorable.

Midori hates bath time, but she loves the pool.

Takashi hates the idea of bath time, but actually loves playing in the tub once he's in there and doesn't want to get out.

Willow is afraid of needles even though the only shots she's ever had were routine vaccinations and nothing objectively scary ever happened. She knows when it's time for Forest and Camellia to have their insulin shots, and she refuses to come into the kitchen until it's all done.

All three triplets are obsessed with dancing, and will dance randomly almost any time they hear music, regardless of where they happen to be.

Meet the Abbottsfords

Because some people were curious, here's how the family looks in my game currently. From top to bottom, left to right: Fox & Takahiro, Forest, Camellia, Matsu, Takashi, Midori & Willow.

I was going to arrange the kids according to their birth order, but I messed it up. Their family photo still turned out cute though, at least in my opinion.

Day 4 - Elimination Ceremony

Welcome to the auditorium, Star-Shines! You lost the challenge and now, one of you will be leaving Total Drama Sims.

We've got a mix of emotions here. Flo is in positive spirits, knowing that she's going to try her best to protect her friend Drew from elimination. However, Takashi is feeling anxious despite being exempt from the challenge!

The votes have been cast, and they were all over the board. Only 2 people didn't receive any votes! Those two people are Coffee and Flo!

The following contestants are also safe, despite receiving at least 1 vote:

Ashlee, Hans, and Takashi

Drew and Tristan received the most votes out of everyone, and guess what? Their votes are tied! It's time to get my handy random number generator for the first time this season to determine Drew and Tristan's fates...

The final result is under the cut:

The contestant that the RNG chose, and therefore eliminated from Total Drama Sims, is...

TRISTAN BACHMAN

Today's Confessional: Hans Somme

"Drew should have been the one leaving! Sure Tristan is a little scrawny and isn't as... robust as I am, but he was smart and was a valuable asset to my team! Drew over here is in track, but she still was still the one to lag behind me and cost us the win."

"Drew, for your own sake, you better prove to me you're actually in track in the next challenge, or you have no place within my team."

Day 2 - Team Sorting

Rise and shine, everyone! Today's the day you will all be sorted into teams. And after that, it will be time for the very first challenge!

But before we get into all that, you all need a shower. You stink.

It was a rather peaceful morning here at the film lot. That is until Hans caught himself on fire... Hey! TDS isn't TDS without someone catching themselves on fire!

Now that everyone's all clean, it's time to gather everybody outside to commence the team sorting! I know you're hungry, Enzo, but you also needed a shower and life here isn't always gonna be sunshine and daisies, pretty boy!

My random wheel of names has spoken! The captains of our teams (aka the ones that will be picking the members, no special treatment here!) are Hans for Team 1 and Toni for Team 2! They will now select their teammates schoolyard-style (alternating between boys and girls) based on their relationships with the rest of the cast!

The first 3 members selected by Hans for Team 1 are Coffee, Tristan, and Ashlee! Each of them have a relatively positive relationship with Hans (despite Coffee not particularly liking him back)

The first 3 members that Toni picks out for Team 2 are Enzo, Liana, and Neal.

The last 3 members that Hans selects for Team 1 are Takashi, Drew, and Flo!

And finally, rounding out Team 2 are Willabelle, Brody, and Paulina!

Team 1 shall be christened as... THE ILLUSTRIOUS STAR-SHINES!

And Team 2 shall be known as... THE RENOWNED BIG-NAMES!

Now, we're truly ready to kick off this season!

Day 1 - Socialization Day (part 1)

Our 14 contestants have arrived at the film lot, so you know what that means! It's time for everybody to meet everybody! Since the teams haven't formed yet, no one knows who they're going to be competing with or against, so the best strategy here? Try to get on everyone's good side.

Ashlee was the first to strike up a conversation with the other contestants. Brody seemed rather intrigued by her exuberant personality, but Paulina? She was a little too taken aback by her mannerisms.

Our dear Hans' first victim person he chatted with was Coffee, commenting on how it was so brave for such a reserved person to come onto the show. Coffee... did not appreciate it. Thankfully, Takashi saw what happened and decided to try and make her feel better. It was successful and the two get along quite nicely! Better luck next time, Hans...

Enzo is quickly becoming this season's rizzler 😏 The first person he talked to, and flattered, was Flo.

Neal wasn't originally interested in interacting with others, still sour to be separated from his brother, but later on he found himself making friendly conversations with Paulina and Liana! Nice!

More in part 2!

Day 2 - Challenge Day

It's the moment we've all been waiting for! Challenge time!! If you remember from our casting call, I said that the challenges this season would be based off of movie genres! So what's this challenge's genre? Culinary, of course!

The two teams must prepare a grilled cheese sandwich, and they must try to make the better grilled cheese sandwiches than the other team. The team with the highest number of high-quality sandwiches wins invincibility!

The Illustrious Star-Shines start out strong, with Hans unfazed from catching himself on fire earlier. However, it seems that the fire curse passed on to Coffee, because she put too much oil in the pan which resulted in an explosion!

The Renowned Big-Names fumble a bit more than the Star-Shines, as you can see with Enzo accidentally dropping the pepper shaker, but you can just see the determination in Toni's eyes as she tries to get her sandwich back in her pan!

THE RESULTS:

Illustrious Star-Shines

Ashlee: Normal

Coffee: Excellent!

Drew: Normal

Flo: Excellent!

Hans: Excellent!

Takashi: Excellent!

Tristan: Normal

Renowned Big-Names

Brody: Normal

Enzo: Normal

Liana: Excellent!

Neal: Normal

Paulina: Normal

Toni: Normal

Willabelle: Excellent!

It was close, but the Star-Shines take the cake with 4 excellent-quality sandwiches to 2!

THE ILLUSTRIOUS STAR-SHINES WIN!

Congratulations Star-Shines! Although nobody in particular did terribly (besides Coffee exploding herself, but good thing she's on your team!), you still made better sandwiches than the Big-Names!

The Illustrious Star-Shines have won invincibility and are safe tonight. I'll be seeing the Renowned Big-Names at the auditorium for the first elimination of Total Drama Sims: Season 2...

Day 3 - Socialization Day

It's a new day! Despite their loss, the Big-Names remain in positive spirits. Toni (RB) and Neal (RB) spent their morning together watching funny videos together!

Meanwhile, Takashi (IS) attempts to make friends with Tristan (IS), but sadly, all Takashi got was a disgusted look from Tristan. Tristan made no hesitation to let Takashi know that he finds him too friendly for his tastes.

Enzo (RB) and Paulina (RB) spent most of their day getting to know each other 👀 Although no flirtatious words were exchanged, I definitely think these two were checking each other out... What do you think, guys? Could there be something between them?

This is by far the fastest-growing friendship I've ever seen. It's only been a couple days and Drew (IS) and Flo (IS) are already considering each other great friends! These two just absolutely clicked on the first day and have not left each other's side since. Not to mention they were thrilled when they ended up on the same team together! Yep, this is most definitely an alliance! These two aren't voting each other out anytime soon.

However, this isn't the only alliance that's beginning to form. Toni (RB), Willabelle (RB), and Liana (RB) have also been pretty tight with each other. They spent their afternoon hanging out by the trailers! Although their connection is not as strong as Drew and Flo, there's definitely camaraderie here and everyone sees each other as valuable allies to have.

Although fairly peaceful on the first day, Tristan put down his nice-guy facade and let his true colors shine today. Hans (IS) also attempted to buddy up with Tristan, only for Hans to get scoffed at and dismissed. Then, Tristan angrily insulted Liana after she answered a math-related question incorrectly.

In the end though, our second socialization day ended with a dance party to hype everyone up for the next challenge!

Today's Confessional: Ashlee Schaefer

"Hm... Drew and Flo, huh? I'm not particularly close with them, so... I gotta do something so they don't eliminate me like Brody... I'm so bummed Brody got out. Us not being on the same team was one thing, but him getting eliminated first? Not fair!"

"Well, at least I'm kinda tight with Hans. I should form an alliance with him. I wanna make sure this game is mine and mine alone, because am I gonna let these people take the grand prize away from me? Absolutely not!"

Day 26 - Flo Harper

Our nosy nellie's time on TDS has come to an end, but she enjoyed a fruitful run and made many friends along the way, including her closest friend Drew, who Flo will be rooting for as Drew enters the final 3!

Flo proved valuable to many of her friends for her... nosy tendencies, spreading that juicy gossip to the advantage of herself and her friends, but she was not good at being secretive about it and eventually others started to take notice. This, along with the fact that Paulina and Liana have been buddying-up recently, is what prompted the votes.

Still, like her first cousin something times removed in Season 1, she played exceptionally well and will have a LOT to tell her folks when she gets home!

@akitasimblr It was an honor to play with another of your awesome Harpers! Flo was absolutely hilarious and I laughed out loud every time she'd get dirty in a challenge or spy on others. I'm so glad this lovely pixel lasted as long as she did 💖

3 contestants remain...

Day 17 - Elimination Ceremony

Welcome to the first elimination ceremony of the merge! It's gonna be a fun one, and not just because everyone is involved in the voting process now.

Do you recall me saying that I had a special surprise coming up for this elimination ceremony? Well... Here it is: this is gonna be a double elimination! So instead of one person, two people will be leaving the game! Yippeee!

I didn't have enough seats for everybody, so Takashi is enjoying a chair from the mess hall. Thankfully he's ok with it! Drew feels pretty proud of herself to be safe from this two-at-once elimination, while Toni is feeling pretty paranoid...

Well, let's see which two people will be getting the misfortune of leaving the game tonight!

The following contestants are safe:

Coffee, Drew (immune), Flo, Liana, Paulina, and Takashi

Enzo, Hans, and Toni received the most votes out of everyone. The final result is below the cut:

The contestants eliminated from Total Drama Sims are...

HANS SOMME and TONI STROUD

Today's Confessional: Liana Morris

"I'm the only one of my friends left in the game now... I'm pretty sad about it, but oddly enough it makes me feel more motivated to win... I want to win for my new friends. They have all been so kind to me and they've definitely made coming to Total Drama Sims worth it. So much better than my grandparents' house."

Day 12 - Challenge Day

Fitness junkies, you're in luck! Today's challenge movie genre is sports, and as you can see, we're playing basketball today!

In today's challenge, two people from each team will spend 1 sim hour trying to get the most baskets. After everyone has had a turn, all the baskets everyone got will be added up for a team total. The team who scores the most baskets overall will win invincibility!

Thanks to the team swap last elimination, the Illustrious Star-Shines now outnumber the Renowned Big-Names by 2, so we will be sitting out two people from the Star-Shines today. My wheel of names has decided to pick Coffee and Drew! These two are exempt from the challenge and will spectate instead.

Our first match-up is Paulina (IS) vs. Toni (RB)! A shame these two have to compete against each other now, but Paulina shows Toni who's boss (and that eliminating her was a mistake) by scoring 6 baskets to Toni's 4!

Takashi (IS) and Willabelle (RB) are up next! Despite Willabelle's love for fitness, she struggles to score baskets and keep up with Takashi. The score is once again 6 to 4, with Takashi scoring the higher number.

Liana (RB) feels pretty intimidated to go up against the athletic Hans (IS), but Hans actually does worse than Paulina and Takashi and only scores 4 baskets! Liana also manages to score 4 baskets, making this match-up a tie!

Last but not least, we have Flo (IS), who obviously didn't take a shower this morning, against Neal (RB)! Flo did very well and scored 6 baskets, while Neal performed the best out of his team with 5 baskets!

With an overall score of 22 baskets to 17, the Illustrious Star-Shines secure their third victory in a row! Well done!!

THE ILLUSTRIOUS STAR-SHINES WIN!

Big-Names... What can I say? Don't know if we should keep calling you "Big" anymore. It's another trip to the auditorium for you!

Today's Confessional: Liana Morris

"Oh no... What are we gonna do? We have to eliminate someone! This is so unfair... Everyone on the team is my friend and I don't want anybody to feel bad or left out. Oh... I really hate this!"

Day 10 - Challenge Day

Do you remember our horse challenge from last season? Well, not one, but two horses are returning to the show to represent our western movie genre-themed challenge! This time, we've brought in Rocky on the left and Lady on the right. And, you guessed it! They're both untrained and as aggressive as Justice was last season!

In today's challenge, contestants from each team will be randomly paired up to ride the horses around the barrels until a barrel is knocked down. Their task is to not be the one who knocks down a barrel. Those who succeed will win the match-up and score a point for the team! The team who scores the most points (aka knocks down the least amount of barrels) will win invincibility!

Each team will be riding the same horse, (Rocky will be representing the Renowned Big-Names, while Lady will be the horse of the Illustrious Star-Shines!) and since the teams are even, everyone is participating today!

Our first match is Hans (IS) vs Liana! (RB) Liana had some trouble riding the horse at first, but it's hard to ride a horse in a dress so I don't blame her! Hans on the other hand is determined to win.

These two rode for a long time without knocking over any barrels, but in the end it was Hans whose horse made a misstep and knocked over the barrel! Liana looks pretty proud to be the winner, since Hans went into the match-up pretty confident. She scores a point for the Renowned Big-Names!

Next we have Flo (IS) vs. Toni (RB). Sadly, she fails in preventing the barrel from being knocked over, giving the win to Flo.

Our third match-up is Willabelle (RB) vs. Drew (IS)! The same fate occurred to Willabelle and her barrel is the one that gets knocked over, giving Drew the Star-Shine's second point.

But things take a turn when Paulina (RB) and Takashi (IS) take their turn. Takashi is the one to knock over the barrel, giving Paulina the point and resulting in the teams being tied for points!

It's down to just Coffee (IS) and Neal (RB) now. Their teams depend on them! Both of them gave it their all, but in the end Neal was the one to knock down the barrel, meaning that Coffee has broken the tie and secured victory for her team!

THE ILLUSTRIOUS STAR-SHINES WIN!

It's now the Star-Shine's turn to enjoy a winning streak! Everyone on the team is safe. I'll be seeing the Big-Names again at the auditorium, and let me tell you this: it will not be a normal elimination... Stay tuned!

Today's Confessional: Coffee Bean

"Wow... I can't believe I actually won for my entire team. I was... under a lot of pressure. I didn't like being the last out of everyone! It was so nerve-wracking... It felt like forever... I'm just glad it's finally over now."
