Okay, I am unsure if this has been done before but it’s something that I have been thinking about lately, which is the potential reason why Eva was hellbent on getting revenge on Bridgette upon her return to Island.

Correct me if this theory has been done before:

So Bridgette in Island as we know is someone who tries her best to get along with everyone. She’s down-to-earth, a fierce competitor, etc,. I would assume that she would be nice to everyone — even Eva. And I think that they may have gotten along very well prior to the events of the episode The Big Sleep. I’ll explain why.

(I may or may not be reading too much into this, but nonetheless...)

The first thing I want to bring up is that during the cliff jumping challenge, it was Bridgette who was the first to jump. I head canon Eva as someone who’s cold, temperamental, and a fierce competitor - much like most people, I think. So when she saw Bridgette be brave and jump into the water first, she might have been impressed with her. (But again, there is no true way to prove this) Maybe she would find the rest of her teammates to be particularly annoying, but she thought that maybe she could get along with Bridgette.

Speaking of the rest of her teammates, this is where a specific scene comes to mind at the near-end of the episode:

As you know, this is the scene which leads to Ezekiel getting voted off, after he makes some sexist comments about women. The only ones who get angry, as in, pretty pissed off - are Bridgette and Eva. (Katie and Sadie were upset, yes, but they didn’t confront him like they did, and Courtney was nowhere to be seen in this exchange) This is where their “friendship” could have honestly started - when Eva was pissed the hell off - not only because of the sexist comments, but because no one else was upset about these comments as she was.

Except Bridgette.

Maybe it’s possible they talked about it a bit (I honestly would not be surprised if both of them were feminists, really) and they could’ve built their “friendship” from there. Something that I have kept in mind is that Total Drama is supposed to be a reality TV show, so you can assume that we missed out on a lot of things behind the scenes: this very well could have been one of them.

I have a theory that Bridgette truly tried her best to help Eva with her temper. (”So, Eva, whatcha been up to?” “Taking anger management classes... I specifically remember you telling me I needed them!”) I wouldn’t be surprised - after all, she did help Lindsay during the Battle-Of-The-Sexes challenge through the form of meditation, it’s possible she could have tried this with Eva.

As for the episode The Big Sleep, I stand by the fact that if this was a different challenge, Eva wouldn’t have been voted off. She was hella sleep deprived (She was the third-fourth last person to finally go to sleep) and that certainly didn't help with her anger - and when Heather had taken her MP3 player prior, it definitely didn’t help. Therefore, she was voted off.

But this still doesn’t explain why Eva was angry at Bridgette later? I’ll go on:

This is where I have a separate theory in which eliminated contestants at the Playa De Losers got to see extra footage of the episodes before it aired. It’s very possible that Eva could have learned that Bridgette had voted her off. This honestly could explain so much, as in why Eva calls Bridgette a traitor upon her returning, and that it was “payback” time. She brings this up multiple times to her, but not to the other Killer Bass contestants. And yes, you could argue that it’s because they’re guys and not girls, but really... Eva probably expected them to vote her off, but not Bridgette. The one person that tried to understand and get along with her had voted her off... how else was she supposed to feel? If the one person I got along with had decided to get rid of me, I’d be pissed too.

Sorry for the rambling. I just think this theory could explain a lot about Eva’s anger at Bridgette which seemed totally random.

My Cats OC Part 54

part 53- https://scorpiofangirl1109.tumblr.com/post/646877506005254144/my-cats-oc-part-53

hello everyone! welcome to part 54 of my series on kiki! this is going to be another cats human au headcanon. i hope you guys like it!

i am only getting one update out before bed but this will be the longest one i have written yet so i think that will make up for it!

a quick shout out to @the-pied-pipers-assistant for talking through this idea with me! i really appreciate it! you are awesome for listening to me ramble on and on all of the time lol.

in this headcanon kiki will be 2 years old!

munkustrap honestly was lucky because when kiki was usually a pretty easy baby. and she was usually pretty happy as well. of course there were moments kiki would scream and cry loudly or she would be fussy. but generally munkustrap was lucky that kiki was easy.

as kiki came a toddler she was still pretty easy for the most part. but munkustrap noticed kiki was starting to become a bit more stubborn at times such as when he tried to get her to eat a vegetable for example. but kiki was still pretty easy. but still had tantrums like all toddlers did.

luckily munkustrap was patient and was able to handle kiki’s temper tantrums calmly and was willing to wait as long as he had to until she was done.

but once kiki turned two she threw a curveball for munkustrap when she started to hit the terrible twos stage.

a little while after demeter moved in with munkustrap and his daughter, kiki learned how to climb out of her crib. up to this point kiki had always slept in her crib just fine. she would remain in her crib during her naptime or all night before letting munkustrap or someone else would get her out.

one night after being put into her crib by munkustrap, kiki slept for about two and a half hours before she woke up. normally kiki just went back to sleep. but this night was different, she wanted to go see her mama and daddy.

so kiki got up and after a bit of effort the toddler climbed out of her crib. she fell to the floor landing on her bum but was quick to get up and rushed over to the door and managed to open it despite munkustrap’s best efforts to child proof kiki’s room.

the toddler walked into the hallway dragging her kitty cat nd disney princess blanket with her.

she could hear the tv was on downstairs so she walked to the staircase. but there was a baby gate at the top and kiki could not get it to budge no matter how much she tried.

so after trying and failing to open the gate kiki started calling out for munkustrap and demeter, calling out “mama!! daddy!!”

munkustrap and demeter had not heard kiki on the baby monitor which was on the coffee table. it was a video monitor and the last time they had checked it kiki was fast asleep so they has assumed she was out for the night.

but when they heard her little voice calling out for them, munkustrap and demeter were quick to get up and rush up to go see what was wrong. so when they found kiki sitting in front of the baby gate on the floor with her blankie and kitty cat they were confused.

munkustrap knew for a fact he had put kiki in her crib after finishing her bedtime stories. so why was she out in the hallway?

“kiki why are you out of bed love? daddy put you down to go night night.” demeter asked as she opened the gate and scooped kiki up in her arms.

kiki snuggled into demeter before saying “i wakes up.”

“but it is late love, you need to sleep.” demeter told kiki looking down at her.

“kiki how did you get out of bed?” munkustrap asked kiki looking at his daughter.

“i climb out.” katie said with a shrug as if it was something she always did.

“kiki you can’t climb out of your bed. you could get hurt.” munkustrap said as he and demeter were walking back to kiki’s room.

when they got back into the room, demeter kissed kiki's head before letting munkustrap take kiki in his arms so he could put her back to bed and she could go back to sleep which kiki did do after she was sung a lullaby.

this kept happening every single night afterwards. it was clear kiki would get out of her crib as much as she wanted. so when demeter said that kiki should get a big girl bed munkustrap didn’t want to. but eventually demeter convinced him it was necessary.

so he decided to take kiki’s convertible crib and to make it into a toddler bed. for kiki and they even took kiki out so she could pick some bedding for her big girl bed. she choose a disney princess bedding set that matched her favorite blankie.

when the day came to actually convert the bed, munkustrap had his brother tugger over to help him when he and misto had come over. tugger initially tried to back out but eventually agreed to help out munkustrap while misto and demeter were downstairs entertaining kiki.

it took a while to disassemble the crib and to convert it to a toddler bed. with quite a few curse words coming out from the brothers. but eventually they finished the process even if it took a while and kiki had to nap in munkustrap and demeter’s bed.

when kiki saw her bed, she was confused at first about what had happened to her crib, she asked munkustrap as tugger held her “daddy what happen to my crib?”

“well you’re a big girl now. you get to have a big girl bed. and you get to sleep in a big girl bed.” munkustrap told kiki.

after dinner, misto and tugger left and demeter and munkustrap got kiki ready for bed like any other night. but when they tried to tuck her in kiki freaked out and was screaming loudly. she was clinging to munkustrap and was not wanting to sleep in her old bed.

demeter tried to put kiki down as well but it did not help either as kiki kept doing the same routine. after what seemed like a lifetime, kiki eventually had worn herself out enough through her tantrum that she had fallen asleep.

over the next few nights putting kiki to bed consisted of having a huge tantrum and putting up a fight about sleeping in her bed, when kiki managed to sleep, he would not remain asleep for long as she would always climb out of bed and go running to demeter and munkustrap. she just did not want to sleep in her big girl bed.

this was very hard on demeter and munkustrap having to be up constantly trying to get kiki to sleep and stay in her bed for more than an hour and a half at a time.

naturally the couple became very sleep deprived from staying up with kiki. this took a toll on munkustrap especially as he was the one getting up with kiki the majority of the time. the last time munkustrap was this exhausted was when kiki was newborn and waking constantly for feedings or diaper changes.

it started to show how exhausted munkustrap was. he started to develop bags under his eyes and dark under eye circles. plus he started to drink way more coffee than usual. munkustrap pretty much looked like a sleep deprived zombie. most nights ended up with kiki sleeping with munkustrap and demeter out of sheer desperation to get her to sleep at all.

he was so exhausted that one night he ended up falling asleep on the floor next to kiki’s bed. he was in there because every time kiki would get out of bed, he was there to put her right back in. but the whole process took a lot of of the sleep deprived father and caused him to pass out on the floor.

kiki looked down at her daddy and got one of the baby blankets near her rocking chair and covered munkustrap with it. after this she sued this as a prime chance to escape her room and run to hide to avoid going into her big girl bed.

demeter had noticed it had gotten very quiet in kiki's room so she walked down the hall to see what was happening. as soon as she stepped into the room the woman noticed munkustrap passed out on the group, which was evident from the quiet snores coming from him. but she did not see kiki and searched the room not finding the toddler anywhere.

demeter sighed as she now had to go find kiki who was “playing hide and seek”. after searching the female found kiki with her kitty cat hiding behind a curtain, she could see kiki's little feet sticking out even though kiki tied to wrap herself in the curtain to hide.

demeter walked over and gently pulled the curtain from around kiki and picked her up before kiki could dart off. she walked kiki back to her room and tried to put kiki to bed. but of course the toddler dug her heels in and refused to stay in bed throwing a tantrum.

kiki was always loud during a tantrum and this was no exception. but amazingly somehow munkustrap slept through kiki have a tantrum even as kiki screamed “nwo mama! pwease!” as demeter kept putting her back into bed. when kiki did somehow fall asleep, demeter to had to nudge munkustrap awake and get him to go to bed since he was so tired.

the couple hoped kiki would outgrow this and get used to it. but it did not get better. as the tantrums kept happening every single night and no one in the house was getting enough sleep

one night demeter walked into the hallway see munkustrap looking very sleep deprived and disheveled. in addition to his under eye bags and under eye circles munkustrap's hair was all messy, as if he had not brushed it for weeks and he was in his pajamas and old tattered bathrobe. munkustrap was also half asleep as he was trying to get a screaming and crying kiki to sleep. a cup of black coffee in his free hand

demeter was very concerned at this sight and also she was afraid he was going to drop kiki from how he kept nodding off.so she quickly rushed over and took kiki in her arms ordering munkustrap to bed.

munkustrap shook his head saying “no...i’m fine....really.” but from how he was struggling to remain awake. while holding a crying kiki in her arms she tried to force munkustrap to bed even if he kept refusing.

demeter still tried to calm kiki down and nothing that usually worked for kiki, helped at all. and the female was quickly running out of ideas and she did not want to put kiki in bed with her and munkustrap.

it got to the point where demeter got so desperate she got her car keys and loaded kiki up in the car with her kitty cat and blanket to drive around until she fell asleep. munkustrap heard demeter open the garage and after learning what she was doing, he insisted on coming along. demeter kept trying to go to sleep but it was falling on deaf ears so she gave in and let munkustrap come.

demeter put baby shark on for kiki and put the song on loop so it would keep playing and once she backed out of the driveway she started to drive around to get kiki to sleep.

after a while, kiki fell asleep in the backseat, but munkustrap had also fallen asleep. once at home demeter turned off the car. and stopped playing baby shark off her phone. the female also nudged munkustrap several times to wake him up.

demeter was extremely careful and managed to get kiki into her bed and tuck her in without waking her. this was the first night in a long time kiki did not come into bed with munkustrap and demeter.

the woman knew she could not drive kiki around while blasting baby shark every night, so the next day when munkustrap was at work and she went over to see her parents for advice. she had kiki with her that day because kiki’s daycare center was closed because of pipes bursting in the building/

jenny and skimbles told demeter that they had experienced this with the twins, jerrie and teazer when they were the same age and the key was to just keep at it. even if it took 70 times that she needed to keep putting kiki back in bed and reassure her that she was going to be ok.

demeter decides to take her parents’ advice and tells munkustrap to help her with putting kiki to bed. after they read to kiki, demeter puts kiki down in her bed and munkustrap tucks her in.

kiki of course is not liking this and she cries getting out of bed. demeter stand sup and puts kiki back into bed tucking her in again telling kiki it was time to go to sleep. the toddler cried and once demeter sat down she got out of bed but this time munkustrap picked up kiki and out her down again.

kiki keeps getting out of bed every time she is put down in bed. so demeter munkustrap take turns putting her back into bed reassuring her that she is ok. it takes a while and after countless time kiki learns to stay in bed and si crying but remains in bed.

not long afterwards kiki finally goes to sleep and demeter and munkustrap quickly leave the room. they keep doing this every night and it only takes a few nights before kiki’s bedtime tantrums stop and when she is put down for the night she remains in bed.

when kiki is finally sleeping in her big girl bed and not fighting them about going to bed, this takes a lot of stress off demeter and munkustrap and they are able to get the sleep they need. well at least demeter is most of the time because while munkustrap is seeping more, he still stays up way too late doing work, only going to bed when demeter makes him.

alright that is part 54! this is the longest part i have written so i hope you all enjoyed! let me know what you guys thought and i will see you all for part 55!

Throughout Tales of Arcadia, we hear “‘Trollhunter’ makes it sound like you hunt yourselves.” I might be a bit sleep-deprived, but I think there’s a super important point within that, and whether or not I’m just hallucinating, I’m gonna ramble about it for a bit. Because it has to do with my Favorite Theme Ever.

I think that line is about self-discipline and responsibility. As a group, Trolls tend to be reckless and emotional, but a Trollhunter has to be keenly aware of the consequences of Trollish action and influence on the world. I think that’s why, traditionally, the Trollhunter has always been a Troll.

“We can’t thrive if we keep ourselves leashed,” (I think) is the Gumm-Gumms’ stance. They’re going to take what they want, and Katy Bar the Door if anyone is foolish enough to stand in their way, or to draw too much of their attention. They see themselves as the rightful masters of this world.

“Nothing will thrive if we do not,” (I think) is the Trollhunters’ answer. Trolls are not the only ones who call this world home, and as guardians of said home, Trollhunters embrace that fact. And they know how tragically permanent the consequences are when they don’t mind their strength and tempers in a world that is perhaps too fragile for the misuse of their full might.

It’s the same reason I love Warcraft orcs, ok? (I think Warcraft has some problems, but I grew up with it, and I’m on a sentimental kick for it lately, so here’s a related tangent.) Those guys were used as footsoldiers to invade and destroy a world, after they were used to destroy their own. But they snapped out of it. They came to value something that they were in the process of tearing apart, and used the bloody, painful lessons of their past to try and change their future, and live in the world, rather than dominate it (or fall into unexamined complacency with a destructive way of life). They became the guardians of said world, alongside its other peoples, when it was threatened by the same forces that used them to begin with.

And even though the New Horde has faltered catastrophically in its goals, and stirred up a ton of crap for everyone else, and disillusioned/depressed the hell out of Varok Saurfang, (he’s been through a hell of a lot, and is one of my favorite characters) a substantial number of its collective peoples are still struggling toward the ideals it was founded upon.

I love that theme with an intensity that knocks me on my ass every time I think about it. Because I hope it’s what we will learn to do, too, as human beings on this Earth. I hope we can learn to look honestly at the damage we’ve done, and continue to blindly do - to each other, our environment, and all the other species that depend on it - and find a way to snap out of our ‘masters of this world’ attitude. Even if we keep faltering, I want us to keep trying. I want to see us gain the compassion, wisdom, and self-discipline needed to protect and defend what we currently take for granted.
