This Is My Favourite Thing.

something underrated about ayda aguefort in terms of autism rep is that she has a +3 to charisma. everyone who meets her agrees that she's cool as hell

fireproof gfs

reposting this myself because i now cannot for the life of me remember what i thought twizzlers were. something to do with pizza???

WHY IS ETHO EBENEZER SCROOGE AND WHY DOES IT KIND OF MAKE SENSE

4 beds 4 cuddling

fully forgot i made this lol

riz shows up in legend lore because he summoned the night yorb. if kipperlilly is reviving ankarna just so she can be mentioned in the legend lore wiki i will forgive all of her crimes

i am ashamed of still liking total drama island in 2021 but shut up its only gotten better over the years

aleheather??? still the love of my life after five years.

peak villain duo, i hate everyone but you energy.

the fact that in tdas they just ?? got over the volcano thing?? like they dont hold grudges at all, they understand that they're just playing the game.

yeah babe i get it, i wouldve done the same thing ily

you can't even try to ship them with anyone else bc once they team up they're SO willing to fuck over all their friends

they wouldn't last if they didn't understand each other so well

they're both good at reading people but both are difficult to read

you could argue that they're too similar but CLEARLY neither appreciates people different to them

the love/hate thing isn't at all in a toxic way, they're just trying to convince themselves they aren't attached because they're afraid of commitment and in tdas they're shown to genuinely care about each other without fighting

ik some people hated them being lovey-dovey but damn thats some good character development for both of them

they haven't lost their edge or anything they've just teamed up

one could even say they've doubled their power

obviously alejandro is the pull where heather is the push but it goes deeper than being one-sided

alejnadro's 'pull' isn't vulnerability for him, he does that with everyone. its when he starts to lose focus that he shows vulnerability and at first heather doesn't realise and takes advantage of it

but when he calls her out she listens and feels bad which is something we never see from her otherwise

heathers vulnerability isn't when she cries in the wt finale since we've seen her use crying as manipulation before

its more subtle, like when she hugs him when they're successful

because more than anything, heather isn't used to sharing happiness. her happiness comes at the cost of others, her competitive nature likely stemming from competition with her siblings for their parents' affection.

she doesn't like being alone in the game or being the bad guy, but thats what works.

when they're together they can be the bad guys without being alone

not to mention they're each other's weaknesses, so with that out of the way they're more powerful

trying to clear some stuff up with the rat grinders pls add stuff i miss:

oisin got buff over the summer, the same time he would have gotten a rage crystal

maryann is a barbarian with insane athletics and porter's been teaching her, he might have connected with the high five heroes through her in the first place

kipperlilly didn't want to be called the rat grinders because it gives away some of their secrets but ruben just wanted to fuck with her

the rats that lucy revived were either killed out of spite by the other rat grinders or they were just collateral when porter fought monsters

oisin only started missing ping pong balls after talking to adaine when she said she didn't remember him and talked about how rich she is, maybe because he felt justified then

buddy presumably thought they were actually restoring this goddess even though she was competing with sol and helped anyway

they all genuinely thought lucy was coming back so 'killing' her wasn't ever meant maliciously by the rat grinders

they could have had a suicide pact all planning to take the deal and come back and just lucy didn't follow through

so with the next cleric they didn't give him any warning so he would make a split-second decision to come back to life without necessarily knowing the consequences

If you get scared, you can always hide behind me. I’ll be hiding behind Luke.

don't forget that pearl remembers the vindication of finally having a friend, and one that will make the ultimate sacrifice for you. of thinking everything was lost, of being the witch to scar's wicked, of resigning yourself to fight for blood until you are truly alone. the welcoming arms into victory that finally healed her aching heart. not to have to scratch and claw your way to the gates but to be invited in.

she saw herself in him and it drove her to make a sacrifice, and he saw himself in her and it drove him to stop her.

i haven't watched pearl's episode yet. but there's something to be said about the fact that she knew scar well enough to know that, when it was the two of them, he would have too much pride to accept a sacrifice.

she doesn't want to win, and she tells him at first before she quietly tucks that secret back into its shell after scar's indignant reaction to her first attempt at self-sacrifice. she lets scar forget about it as they kill gem, and then as scar kills pearl. at no point does she try to say here, let me give this to you. she knows scar, but she also knows the pain of an ending like that.

but she misses a few swings, doesn't she? her legs don't move as quickly to duck away from his arrows. and isn't that familiar? isn't that something like a cactus ring, with two unrelenting fists and two half-hearted ones: a fight with two unwilling participants, a fight that was over before it ever really began at the insistence of one of its patrons

pearl is all too familiar with the sting of sacrifice, but then on the other side of things... scar knows all too well the tragedy of gifted victory, doesn't he?
