#total drama rewrite

[frogskelton]

So I’ve replaced Sierra with Noah, because she did nothing and her story didn’t rlly have anywhere to go (mainly cuz she was a one dimensional character, nothing wrong w that but not for a second season). Anyway it was choice between Cody or Noah and I went for Noah.

For Noah, he initially signed up w Owen, but Owen got injured before the season, but Noah was still contractually obligated to go. Since is in the time period where they r doing a bunch of reality tv shows together. (Owen is fine, it’s just like a broken leg, he will be okay)

Seems like a weird choice i know, but Noah plays the role of the antagonist, though mostly accidentally on his part. So, it starts off with stuff like he knows his team has already lost and he would be an easy first boot (since the other times he was his teams first boot), so will trip up another contestant or just close the door on someone and slip by so he isn’t the boot. He is also able to avoid accusations or have people dismiss them since he is perceived as a hero (ish). E.g, Alejandro might respond with like “Noah, you mean mister he’s like an eel dipped in grease, after I saved our team from elimination, is gonna go and be a hypocrite.” Furthermore, most of his victims r people w already bad reputations n he is gradually increasing in his sabotage justifying more and more to himself.

He makes it very far, even getting revenge on Alejandro for getting him booted last season. Though Noah becoming more and more a villain is kinda do with how he perceives others people as looking down on them through being pretty judgmental (not too overly). Like how in season one, he was shocked he got the boot instead of Lindsay since he just perceived her as the “dumb blonde,” and got so much in his own head.

He starts out very bummed and thinks of how he wants to win for Owen (who is still healing in hospital) and uses that to justify this actions, and assumes that everyone else has less altruistic reasons, so therefore it’s fine.

Also no more villain Mal, because it’s pretty gross perpetuating the vilification of people with multiple personality disorder. He can just he a silly emo boy.

This right here is my BIGGEST OP.

I feel like it's taunting me.

"Hey! I see you browsing that tag. Do you wanna share it? Send it to all your friends so they can see how cringe you are? Come on! What if they like it, too! They won't, but you should TOTALLY share it anyway!"

No Tumblr! I'm not sharing my Saxton Hale x Bidwell yaoi! I'd rather DIE than tell someone I'm scrolling the Sonadow tag for the 100th time! They would NOT like to see a Total Drama rewrite, I know it!

Let me be cringe in peace!

Sadie & Katie, Best Female Friends For Life!

At long last, Sadie & Katie. As New Years approached, I’ve decided to make this my first post of 2024. As for their redesign, I went for a scene style cuz they just had that vibe. But overall, I had a fun (and hard 😭) time drawing these two and I hope Gwen will be next. Goodnight :)

[tdlauren]

Alright, here we go. I'm doing this.

So, if you like Gwuncan or hate it; I'm pretty sure most of us can agree the way they got together was contrived and poorly written with the icing on top being Courtney.

So here I go; how I personally think Gwuncan SHOULD'VE gone. Or at least a better way of getting them together. This is also a minor analysis of them. Long post under the cut.

So let's begin. Starting with action and how it goes into world tour.

In action they have an established friendship. Whilst they were acquainted in Island, they never really had an actual friendship. They respected each other, had a few moments of banter and closeness but were otherwise not close friends. Action, however, lets them get closer. They have fun banter where they can riff at each other without it feeling like genuine hatred. Their shared common interests also giving them more to talk about. Their bonding is just way less toxic than him and Courtney's. Even if Duncan likes it, their relationship is doomed to fail.

And now we have the Courtney problem.

While Duncan, being attracted to Courtney physically; does really not seem to like her. He finds their bickering fun most of the time; but as it later goes on, it feels less like bickering for fun and bickering in an unhealthy way. I don't even HATE Courtney! I've warmed up to her

But like I said, their relationship was doomed to fail beyond Island. It was NEVER meant to work long term. Their mutual attraction gets them far, but it doesn't make them GOOD together. If they did not find the other attractive they would not even be friends, or even acquainted. At all.

Courtney likes being in control of her surroundings and the people ahead of her, she likes being a winner and being competitive. And her relationship with Duncan in action brings out the worst part of her, especially with this.

It's not a shocker that Duncan wouldn't like this. Let's skip to World Tour, though.

Courtney and Duncan are back together for some reason. But now we have the love triangle. Courtney and Gwen already have a mutual dislike of each other, Courtney's is especially strong considering her assumptions that Duncan cheated on her with Gwen in action.

The first challenge arrives and they've been bickering the ENTIRE time. Leading to Duncan's annoyance and him willingly getting himself off the show.

Now we're here without Duncan, what now? Well, Gwen & Courtney end up making a friendship. Personally; I don't like this decision. It feels forced and it's just the lead up the 'betrayal' of Courtney's trust with Gwen.

I think Gwen & Courtney would be much better as not friends, but bond over their hatred of Heather the same way they do, while still not being friends they can come to a mutual agreement on a person.

I See London would be essentially the same; but I have a few changes at the ending.

I think this scene should've led to them breaking up. Duncan is clearly frustrated with Courtney here, and even though Courtney says she's 'not mad', she clearly is, at least a little.

I feel like Duncan at this point should've snapped and broken up with her. Having Gwen walk in on Courtney getting angry over their breakup and seeing Duncan look at her.

The bathroom scene can still stay the same, yes, even Tyler.

Gwen's guilt would not be the fact that she kissed Duncan who's still dating Courtney, but that she feels kind of guilty about it BECAUSE they just broke up and is getting the guy on the so called rebound.

Courtney is still bitter about the break up; and hearing him move on so fast would hurt her ego a ton. So they decide to not tell anyone, except, well, Tyler saw it. Most of it is the same as well, Courtney still throws a fit but its about Gwen taking her sloppy seconds so soon after they broke up.

A lot of the show after this point can stay the same, just with the situation changing minorly to make it still true to the show and keep most of the plot points flowing in ways they already would've gone.

Duncan is still annoyed with Courtney, still throws a shoe at her, they still make out on the boat to ROTI, etc. All Stars doesn't exist either <3

So after having a thought about Pahkitew Island I’ve decided that it’s a flawed season and that maybe if people like this I’ll write a sort of rewrite/fanfiction of it. This post will be my ideas for what the rewritten characters would be like. So…I hope people like this

Beardo

-Is very introverted and has a hard time making friends.

-Makes videos on social media doing beatbox covers to songs he likes though he isn’t noticed much.

-Works as a DJ for parties. Is really good but he doesn’t feel like he’s doing enough.

-Before knowing he was joining Total Drama he originally thought he was going to be the DJ for some rich dude and took the job as a chance of notoriety.

-Craves friendship and notoriety more than anything and the one thing he plans on accomplishing while on the show is to make at least one friend.

Leonard

-Leonard loves LARPing! It’s essentially become a special interest for him and though he knows the whole thing isn’t real he still tries immersing himself in that fantasy aesthetic.

-Is kinda annoying at times but means no harm, he just really badly wants to talk about his hobby.

-Originally signed up for some sort of show regarding LARPing but was instead brought to Total Drama.

-Though it wasn’t in his plans he still tries to prove himself in the game, despite the fact he’s pretty terrible at physical activity…especially to the caliber Total Drama provides.

Rodney

-A farm boy who's the oldest of five younger brothers in a decently strict family with two pretty decently old parents.

-His family isn’t the richest at all and thus being the oldest and strongest he was usually tasked with all the heavy lifting and taking care of everyone.

-Is homeschooled by his parents and generally pretty isolated. That being said, while he isn’t an outcast he’s very bad with communicating, especially towards people he likes romantically.

-Rodney gains crushes on people easily, and while he doesn’t pursue them it’s obvious he’s crushing hard.

-Was trying to find ways to make money quick so he was one of the few people who knew he was going on Total Drama because he auditioned for it straight up unlike the rest of the cast.

Amy and Sammy

-These two are identical twins whose relationship is highly strained. Amy is the older twin Sammy is younger by a couple of minutes.

-Amy is the twin who is much better with sports, fashion, and other physical bodily things.

-Sammy is the twin who is far better with music, drawing, and general abstract things, though her talents are far less recognized compared to Amy’s.

-The two usually don’t talk and have never really interacted much outside of arguments.

-Both girls really wanted to go to camps but their mom just put them in one camp together that did both of the things they wanted. This later came up to be a secret application for Total Drama that both didn’t know about until they got there.

Ella

-Ella is a very sweet and nice girl who has found a passion in music.

-She’s had a rough life for these past 16 years so she’s found that singing has made the hard times a lot sweeter.

-She really idealizes this princess lifestyle where she’ll be able to achieve a happily ever after.

-She’s basically replaced her brain with her heart. She doesn’t usually think things completely logically as she wants to do what makes her happy. Thus her emotions are really potent.

-Wanted to practice singing and wanted to go to a camp for it. Was sent to Total Drama instead.

Topher

-Topher is a guy who has idolized Chris McLean and other famous celebrities and show hosts for…basically most of his life. Thus he’s tried replicating this charm since he was young.

-He’s a great public speaker and persuader in general. Though he never uses this skill for anything productive other than to have people do what he wants.

-He’s never had to work for anything in his life. He usually just has other people do it on the count of his good looks and persuasive speaking.

-Despite that he’s actually quite envious of other celebrities and is really entitled. Believing the world be served to him on a platter.

-Parents forced him into a club for public speaking against his will. Though instead he got to go somewhere much better.

Dave

-Dave is a self described normal kind person. He is not a normal kind person as he believes. He’s not necessarily a horrible person, just very insensitive and actively neglects to think before acting.

-He also comes off as a faux hipster of sorts as he usually feels he’s super intellectual and smart when he’s really just kinda trying too hard.

-He isn’t adverse to apologizing or proving when he’s wrong, but that’s only when literally everyone is dogging him.

-He is a minor germaphobe and refuses to get dirty.

-He thought that going on some sort of retreat would be a good sort of a detox from the people in his everyday life. Turns out he was being put on Total Drama.

Max

-Max was profusely bullied for a long time in his life and at a certain point decided enough was truly enough. Thus he started to become far more aggressive and seemingly threatening, it’s not working.

-He isn’t a bad kid at all, he just doesn’t like to be pushed around by people and thus isolates himself to seem more mysterious, threatening, and evil then he actually is.

-He’s good with children and has a lot of hobbies that he doesn’t tell people out of fear of being judged.

-Highly uncooperative and very averse to niceness. Secretly really wants it and to be admired.

-He was trying to go to a science camp to try and learn some different things that can be seen as cool and badass. He was instead sent to Total Drama.

Scarlett

-Scarlett in nature is highly unemotional, pragmatic, and highly dangerous.

-Scarlett is very smart, almost to the point of being considered a child prodigy, though people just mistake it and think it’s plain introversion it’s actually something deeper.

-She’s very bad at expressing herself along with her needs. She’ll do lots of unnecessary things to get her point across.

-She has never been tested for anything do to her parents not wanting the stigma of what they considered a messed up child, this makes her an enigma to most everyone.

-After a major issue back home her parents tried sending her to a camp for mental health to get her treated in, she was instead brought to Total Drama.

Jasmine

-Jasmine is a natural born leader who is skilled within the field of survival and nature.

-She has issues regarding femininity due to being strong and having more masculine interests than other girls her age.

-She’s generally been described as a mom friend by many, she embraces that and tries to help people out as best as she can.

-Wanted to join a survival show to test her skills. She kinda got that on accident but it was way more than she expected.

Sugar

-Sugar is a girl who despite her looks and appearance, is smart and quite conniving.

-She lives in an environment where everyone is adept at lying and playing an act. It’s very hard to know when she’s being genuine.

-The only things that she makes known of her real self is her repulsive habits and general country heritage. Other than that her personality can change from nasty to sweet on a dime.

-Sugar was trying to search for more opportunities in the spotlight. She signed up for a pageant show but instead was put into Total Drama.

Sky

-Sky is a girl with only one dream, and that’s to eventually become a future Olympian.

-She only lives with her sister, after an accident regarding her parents. Her sister is an Olympian and she usually likes to train with her and she looks up to her more than anything.

-She’s generally seen as over ambitious a lot of the time and she pushes herself to limits even she can’t reach sometimes. But she sees that if she doesn’t push herself she can’t accomplish her dreams.

-She tried to join a camp that’d help enhance her skills, instead it was Total Drama.

Shawn

-Shawn has major and irrational anxieties about most things for a very unknown reason.

-After watching Total Drama once before and seeing Ezekiel in a feral state once he’s begun to think that zombies are real and he’s going to die. He’s also believed many other things like end of the world hoaxes, lizard people, and other weird conspiracy theories. None beat the zombie thought though.

-He’s learned to not trust people out of fear they’ll become zombies themselves, it’s very unhealthy.

-Shawn was convinced by a very fake zombie survival camp ad and was stocked to learn more knowledge to survive the apocalypse. He was instead taken to Total Drama.

Total Drama Island: Hard Reboot (Update 2)

It’s been a while since I posted huh? Well I’ve been super busy with school and other irl stuff so I haven’t had the time to draw. BUT I have managed to do some drafting for the rewrite!

There has been a slight change in the elimination order! Just swapped two people is all. I talked to some friends about my original elimination order. We realized that one contestant could stay a little longer than another in order for an alliance’s arc to make more sense

I have decided that all canon ships in the reboot will be present here in some way, shape, or form. Will any of these relationships fall apart? Will any new ships be formed? You’ll have to read and find out

I have expanded the chapter/episode count! There will now be 15 chapters for TDI:HR. In-universe, there will still be 13 standard episodes. The two bonus episodes will make more sense when the story reaches that point

I still don’t have a release date for Episode 1. However, since I’ve been making you guys wait for a while, I think you deserve a sneak peek. And this will show just how I’ll be rewriting season 2 of the reboot without straying too far from what I actually liked about it…

…

“Chicks, am I right?” Chase laughs off Emma’s outburst, expecting Bowie of all people to have his back.

“You’re never right,” Bowie doesn’t even turn to look at the guy he’s roasting. He walks right to Emma. “Soooo, how long have you two been apart? Seems more permanent than usual.”

Emma opens her eyes to look at Bowie for a split second. One quick glare later and she picks up the pace.

“Wha-” Bowie is gagged.

CONFESSIONAL STATIC

“No,” Emma curtly shakes her head, “I’m not ignoring Bowie because I love Chase still. I’m ignoring him because I don’t want to be allies again. If he’s fine with splitting up Priya and Millie so he could make a quick million, then what does that say about our ‘friendship,’ huh??” She clenches her fists. Of course she’s still upset at Bowie. Even if she knows that Chase was a horrible partner, the way Bowie went about keeping them apart didn’t exactly make Emma feel good. But she calms down, opens her fists, and brushes a lock of hair back behind her ear. “I am NOT risking that. This season, I have to ally with someone I can actually trust.”

CONFESSIONAL STATIC

[totaltism]

If I could rewrite the "Mike gets rid of his alters" ending I would write it like this instead, but it's important to note that I would make the season as a whole longer to fit in time for this.;

Throughout Mike's journey helping his alters out in his mind we would get to see more of them as people, interacting with eachother, sharing likes and dislikes, and being more than they're portrayed as when they're fronting, being more three dimensional overall. At the very end the tower would contain a series of challenges that each alter would need to use their skills to complete, but the required skill wouldn't be obvious, they'd need to work together to figure out who can do what. The top of the tower is the closest point to the outside, in a way. It's the closest to fronting without actually fronting, and it resembles the outside world a lot more. The way I think they would be able to get Mal back in is by all trying to front at once, especially since during the final challenge, Svetlanna mainly would be incredibly useful and would likely be able to front through sheer brute force as the athletic components would help trigger her to front. Sheer brute force would force Mal back in, and instead of being confronted and erased by Mike he would be confronted by all of them together, as the body would likely pass out from the strenuous physical activity and all of the alters trying to front at once. I don't know how they would resolve the conflict, if he'd be forced to the back of the mind like the was before or if there would be a resolution. Honestly if I could have it my way there would be a resolve however that would also take place in a world where Mal isn't a crazed villain and is just a normal, albeit edgy guy.

Anyways that's what personally I'd prefer over the 'erase them all' ending, especially since we would get to learn more about the alters and see different sides of them and see how they interact with eachother etc

[frogskelton]

Even though, everything went quite for a bit, there is still progress on the episode. Editing together the scene I was working on before. So I had already draw all the panels and stuff, I was just editing things together before the gap. So it should be out relatively soon. Though this also mean not this next one but the one after should have an increase in quality as I have improved my art over this period.

Owen Depression Arc

Description:

This is an all stars rewrite where Owen actually did compete but was booted off early and soon afterwards hired as Chris’ assistant in hopes of resolving his family’s financial crisis whilst unfortunately dealing with Chris’ bullshit, island mutants, and most of all his #1 enemy, Alejandro. But it’s Owen! He can handle anything!….right?

Could some people here give me some good Total Drama rewrite suggestions? I'm still figuring out mine and I'd like to see how other people tackle it.

[lara-prism-light]

Okay, I might be thinking of some ideas at the moment.

I'm thinking about doing a rewrite of Total Drama All-Stars and Pahkitew Island. Since these seasons are the worst of the show.

Some ideas would be bigger teams for All-Stars and better personalities for Pahkitew's characters.

What do you guys think?
