Things I remember from the total drama fandom a long time ago

In 2017, webarebares started a thread about trends in the Total Drama fandom as they were in the 2010s under the title things I remember from the total drama fandom a long time ago. This page hopes to explain what was listed in the thread by them as well as other fans in their reblogs.
== Full Thread (as of April 2024) ==
=== From webarebares ===
* that td “populars” thing 
* there was actually a td populars blog too it was so cringy
* hate blogs and people trying to figure out who it was that made them
* you either hated mal or loved him
* chris can fuck a plantActually implied to have happened on the show during Total Drama: All-Stars but we can’t have gay characters
* i think people fought the FreshTV blog for a bit
* the whole deal with the cherry chick and luvly girl
* duncan and sadie were a bomb ass otp
* people would say there was a social pyramid in the fandom and would actually map that shit out using real people like damn thats fucking embarrassing lmao
* sick character and ship playlists
* character days and ship weeks 
* that secret santa thing where few people got their gifts
* everyone just pretends TDAS didn’t happen
* at one point a lot of people would say they were done with the fandom and people and actually declare that they were leaving and people wouldn’t give a fuck (then they’d return a few weeks or days later)
* the fandom tbh just started dying in this break of no new content after ridonculous race 
* a lot of the mutuals people who were in the TD fandom have are probably mutuals they gained during their TD days but there’s only a few you can remember because URLs and fandoms change
* SELFIE SUNDAY! that shit was actually so cute
* “it’s called the total DRAMA fandom for a reason lol i’m so different and quirky”
=== From forevertrueblue (28 October 2017) ===
* “Asking Stuff Sunday” (which either morphed into or from Selfie Sunday)
* the “TD 10 Years Later” recolor videos on YouTube
* Scoot / Snegle / Bottle of DawnA collection of fictional Total Drama diseases from , mostly lost.
* William Country
* “I AM MARCELINE” and other fake messages that people made audio post parodies of

* The fake asks that the many hate blogs created which lead to many audio posts and dramatic readings

* Tasha's many personalites: holly, stacey, chazAs explained in Hey I'm newish to the td fandom so do mind me asking who Tasha is?

* "Screw you i'm getting my duncney on!"
* The one dude who hated sky bc she friendzoned dave so he would draw pics of her being given wedgies despite her being like 16 years old lmao
