Am I the only one who feels like the way this fandom talks about female characters is always so like???? Omg girlboss but also a girlfailure I support women’s rights AND wrongs she was robbed!!!! Idk it’s always the same few phrases lol I don’t get it.

OHHHH I AGREE SO HARD💀 seeing the same 3 phrases used to describe the female characters bc they think its a diversity win. ok.

Female character is independent or strong etc -> omg shes suuuuch a girlboss teehee🙈 step on me. other weird and annoying sexual comments bc girlbossery is sexy (or something) and thats the only appeal female characters are allowed to have for a lot of people Female character is kinda cringe sometimes and doesnt succeed at everything -> omg my silly girlfaliure girlloser shes so sillystupid i love her Female character has dimension -> omg??? shes like a girlboss and a girlfaliure at the same time???

ignoring the fact i hate so many things about tacking on the prefix girl to random shit as something that feels like a negative connotation (or something degrading), there is 0 critical thinking people have for female characters and its like. ok man. people come up with 600 random headcanons and backstory elements for every single male character they like but designate the female characters they like to "oh ummm shes a girlboss so i like her😊" AWWEEESOMEEEEE. LOVE TO SEE IT🥴

and to people that dont see that or say that doesnt happen....... it does. i see it with my own eyeballs every damn day. eg; in fanon noah has 8 (or 9? i forget) girlboss sisters and is an expert hacker and speaks 300 languages and knows everything and makes 0 mistakes and is always calculated all the time and has 20 boyfriends while in canon he got kicked out of the opportunity of 100k dollars because he was reading and hates everyone and plays video games all day and is a massive schmuck for 1 single person that being emma. sorry noah fans thats just how it is. headcanons are fine but it gets to the point where its like hey guys what are we doing here.

and ok whatever. say we all stop talking about noah bc god knows he did nothing to deserve it. where do we go from there? the amount of people i see saying they wish there was more f/f in fandom they just dont wanna write it or people that say they wish they wrote f/f more its just too hard has me :I i think it really just proves how little fanon there is for female characters. since generally fanon is what fandom bases its fanfiction and general characterization on and f/f famously contains only women, it makes sense that if its "hard" to write for f/f pairings it means that people just dont care enough about the women to make wide spread fandom interpretations of them.

and it reaaaaaally sucks. total drama has what i consider a pretty good cast of diverse female characters. And sure, a lot of the time the show doesnt do them justice (they were robbed as many many MANY people say) but a lot of them have so much potential and all of them have at least SOME potential. but ofc, due to how theyre treated in the fandom, no one really cares about them outside of them being paired up with men. and even worse, people will just straight ignore them outright a lot of the time because they 'get in the way of their mlm ship' or some bs.

am i saying its inherently misogynistic to write mlm ships? HELLLLLL no. im just saying that the heavy apathy or visceral anger many many many female characters get unless theyre paired up with a man or because they 'get in the way of' a mans love for another man is quite frankly laughable when you consider what actually goes on in the show. this shit was made for kids, these people are kids. its just so weird just how obsessed people can be with a fictional character to the point of these overblown reactions to other characters of the same god damn show

#ok but your fucking right about noah tho. listen? i actually do like him? he's not like that fanon. #like this isn't to put down anybody but if you're gonna give *him* a sad backstory you better give one to half the cast too #where are my essays about female character's depths. please #it's def way better on tumblr (at least in my corner) than in other spaces in the fandom clearly but still! #i promise you. the female characters in this stupid ass series can be given sooo much depth #and you can do so super easily

Yk how in team Escope people always make Noah the mom of the group?

Well I belive he takes responsibility when taking care of Eva's and Izzy's health and safety (bc let's be honest those two do not know how to take care of themselves)

But!! Izzy and Eva also ensure up taking turns taking care of Noah since out of the three he's the worst at taking care of himself.

Others? Easy.

Himself? Not so much.

Won't leave his bed in days? He gets kidnapped by the two?

The problem is they have more unconventional ears of taking care of him.

He refuses to sleep after two full days? Izzy bashes his head with a pan.

Forgot to eat? Eva will shove food down his throat even if it kills him.

Won't clean his room? He gets bullied until he finally does it.

Hasn't left his house? (that is kidnapped proof) They call Owen to take him to a social event.

That last one scares Noah deeply.

Also Noah found a way to study both Eva's and Izzy's body language to know when they will snap. Now depending on to what (person or object) Noah will choose wether or not to intervene.

#all three of them are just an absolute mess #Noah might have the brain cell most of the time but that doesn't mean he's always the smartest #<- prev tags #real #team escope #td noah #td izzy #td eva

I love the idea of Noah hating physical touch because I hate physical touch but you know what I love more?

Noah unknowing that he loves physical touch.

He’s always nudging people with his elbow, standing super close to them, sleep cuddling them, and he doesn’t even realize it.

Some examples: He nudges Owen a lot and that one time he nudged Tyler. Not to mention he hugged Bridgette and literally cuddled Cody kissing his ear. He doesn’t recoil when Duncan grabs his lip he just stands there. Him letting Izzy hold him. Etc, he just likes when it’s on his accord, hates when people hug him without him expecting it.

But one person does realize it.

Owen is talking about Noah to Alejandro, since he asked to get more information about him.

“And he hates physical touch! Sometimes he lets me hug him though! Man Noah is great!”

Alejandro tilts his head to the side curiously. “Excuse me for asking but are you sure he hates physical contact?”

“Uh yeah I’m pretty sure.”

Alejandro scratched his chin as he looked over at the sleeping Noah who was holding a jacket, probably Owen’s, like it was a person. ‘Interesting.’

In Newland Alejandro tests his theory as he reaches his hand out to Noah to help him on the boat. “Well done my little porpoises, here allow me.” Without really thinking Noah takes it and climbs up. Noah doesn’t really register the fact that he held grabbed Alejandro’s hand, or the fact that he stumbled so his hand rested on his chest, or that Alejandro’s hand hovered over his hip to secure him if needed. Noah didn’t think twice before chuckling slightly.

“Sorry, I think my boot got stuck on something.” Noah looked up nonchalantly at the other to see his face was slightly red. “Why are you looking at me like that?” Noah mocked him slightly before walking to one of the paddles.

Alejandro had his theory proven right as Noah held onto him longer then he needed too. The only problem was Alejandro didn’t want him to let go. He was right so why did he feel almost anxious, like his stomach was going flips.

slowly walks forward

taps a microphone i have been carrying for some reason

leans into it very closely

"reboot emma deserved better, both from the writers and the fandom. she had a lot of potential, and yet neither side could see anything past her relationship with chase."

slams the microphone into the floor as hard as possible and struts away confidently

Jo: Here's an open letter to a treasure of boy!

Lightning: Sha-me!

Jo: Whose behaviour on this show brings anything but joy!

Lightning: Sha-what?!

Jo: He’s a nasty, drugged-up duncehead, who calls himself your host! Without the help of his entourage, his career would be toast!

Entourage: Hey!

Lightning: Hey! Hey...

Jo: His coaches do his homework, so he’s never passed a class! He’s just so full of you-know-what he has to double-wipe his ass!

Lightning: I eat a lot of sha-fiber!

Jo: He brought two football jerseys, with number twelve and number one. So when his team wins the next game, he’ll say he did it just for fun!

Entourage: Hey!

Jo: He’s not the guy you think he is, so I’ll tell you what’s so frightening. There’s thick black hair between his toes, and his real name isn’t Lightning!

Entourage: Hey!

Jo: He’s a stupid, selfish narcissist and his real name isn’t Lightning! He brags and cheats,cuz he’s evil, bros, and his real name isn’t Lightning…

Jo: IT'S RUDOLPH!

This is a work of art

Hot take but reducing a character down to “girlboss with no flaws and doesn’t need a man” is just as reductive and misogynistic as making her into an accessory for a male character

They make her a one dimensional archetype stripping her of any nuance and fandom often makes female characters into one or the other. Which is not how women work in the real world!

A character can be both independent and boy crazy, look at Beth! Look at Katie and Sadie! (Unfortunately I think these are the only examples, at least in the Gen 1 cast :[)

I really like Zoey, but I think she'd be the perfect character if she was allowed to be a little weirdo. She's supposed to be the "weird" girl but doesn't ever really do anything to warrant her reputation. Let her be odd.
