The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) | comment |
The Legend of Total Drama Island (commonly abbreviated LTDI) is a reimagining of Total Drama's first season, written by Gideoncrawle.The main story is wrapped in a frame story in which an unidentified former contestant describes the events of the competition to her teenaged son in the style of The Book of the Thousand and One Nights. This means that instead of the usual structure of chapters ending with an elimination ceremony where applicable, every chapter except the last ends with a cliffhanger. Elimination ceremonies usually fall somewhere in the middle of a chapter, but occasionally take place near the beginning. Commentary between The Storyteller (as she is identified in the cast listing) and her son, Brett, delineate the “episodes”.The premise of the main story could reasonably be described as, “What If? Total Drama Island had been Played for Drama instead of laughs?” The resulting reimagining is far darker in tone than its source material.The teams are initially the same as in the original, but during the first challenge Sadie switches teams instead of Katie. This minor change has a major impact. Numerous characters who debuted in later canon seasons make appearances, mostly repurposed as college-age interns. Of these, Alejandro, Dawn and Ella are the most prominent.Sum This Up In One Trope: How We Got HereThe story previously updated more or less bimonthly, although the author intends to complete the story it has not been updated since April 2019 and it is unknown when the next chapter will be published. It is currently about 60 percent complete, with an estimated finished length of nearly 500,000 words. In addition to the fanfiction.net version linked above, the author also maintains a Fandom (nee Wikia)-based version which offers better support for the multimedia enhancements but does not permit reviewing without an account.Not to be confused with a long-dead Total Drama Island / Legend of Zelda crossover of the same name.Other troped works by this author include: Courtney and the Violin of Despair Legacy Total Drama Island by Gilbert and SullivanBecause this story is full of twists, you may encounter unmarked spoilers. You have been warned. | |

Comforting the Widow | |
The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_107edaa4 | comment |
Comforting the Widow: Cody tries to "comfort" Gwen after her boyfriend is eliminated. This is worsened by the fact that Cody was instrumental in the events that led to Gwen needing comfort in the first place. The trope is subverted when Gwen reacts poorly. A half-platonic variant arises during the camping challenge. Katie and Sadie go missing, which has a distinct possibility of costing their team the challenge, so Cody and Noah see it as a potential opportunity to get Sadie out of the way so Noah can "comfort" Katie. When Sadie is eliminated in a later episode for unrelated reasons, Noah does indeed "comfort" Katie, with reasonable success. | |

Daydream Surprise | |
The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_118a41d5 | comment |
Daydream Surprise: Inverted during the boot camp challenge's tree hanging test when a contestant enters the trance-like state typical of daydreaming as she contemplates real events in her past, and is thus occupied for far longer than the reader has been led to believe. The challenge supervisor has to strike her to get her attention, lest she continue to daydream indefinitely. | |

Bloodless Carnage | |
The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_135b9977 | comment |
Bloodless Carnage: Uses the variant of describing a game like a real battle. Much of the game action in the dodgeball match, especially in the first game, is written in the style of a battle scene from The Iliad, which is probably one of the most blood-drenched epics of all time. There is a minor subversion in that Lindsay does bleed after being hit in the mouth. | |

Calvinball: When Chris briefs the teams before the dodgeball match, he warns them that the rules might not remain constant throughout the match. When he later decides that a game is going too quickly, he springs a new rule on the players and tells them he can restore the teams to full strength whenever he wants. He later changes the number of balls on the court, without bothering to call time out, to counter hoarding. The match is largely described in the style of a battle scene from The Iliad, and Chris’ fluid rules parallel The Iliad’s divine interventions. | |

Although her kisses are not especially florid, the two boys she kisses experience weakness born of ecstasy. | |

The Wikia-based version also includes hyperlinks to supplemental information on ancillary topics, mostly things alluded to in the story, and the story itself also includes embedded music videos for most of the compositions mentioned. note The FanFiction.Net version does not have these links, because that site does not support external links in story pages, so the video links appear on the author’s profile page instead. | |

Unreliable Narrator: Although Brett's mother recounts long-past events with inhuman precision, she also embellishes some details, fills in gaps with informed guesswork, and lets her biases influence some characterizations. Indeed, those cartoonish elements in the original that are retained in the reimagining could well be chalked up to her embellishments. It’s called a “legend” for a reason. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: The author posted several preview scenes (the "trailers") in the year before the story's official launch. Beth, who is a supporting character in the story, was so prominent in these previews that a fair number of readers expected her to be a main character. This disconnect arose because the preview scenes were selected for standalone appeal and lack of spoiler potential, and Beth figures prominently in these scenes precisely because of her relative lack of involvement in the major storylines. | |

Fingore: One contestant loses a finger in a challenge accident. The severed digit is too badly mangled to reattach with any realistic chance of success. Leaving this particular character with nine fingers is a Mythology Gag explained in the story's Notes. | |

The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_1ec3eb0a | comment |
Take Our Word for It: Justin and Lindsay's incredibly hot dance in the talent show is described only in general terms, as are Heather's nigh-pornographic embellishments when reading Gwen's diary to the world. Specifics are avoided in the former case because no detailed description could possibly do the dance justice, and in the latter case to preserve a family-friendly rating. | |

Ominous Latin Chanting | |
The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_1fdaf8ff | comment |
Ominous Latin Chanting: The contestants’ very first wakeup call is the "Dies Irae" (“Day of Wrath”, i.e. Judgment Day) section of Verdi’s Requiem, played over the PA system at absurdly high volume. When Chris is milking the tension before handing out the final marshmallow during the first elimination ceremony, the finished episode’s soundtrack features a swell of dramatic music that eventually segues to “ominous choral chanting”. The text of this chanting is not specified, but is conceivably another setting of Dies Irae. Indeed, the narrative includes a partial quotation of the poem at this point. | |

Neutral gray: Chef Hatchet, Chris' aide. He’s a textbook Punch-Clock Villain. He understands and accepts the role of hardship in separating the game's contenders from the pretenders, but when approached with proper deference he can sometimes be persuaded to give the petitioners more help than his duties require or even technically allow, although he won't do anything that would affect the course of the game. | |

Kevlard: When Katie and Sadie are lost in the woods overnight and develop hypothermia, the obese Sadie's natural insulation keeps her (barely) functional hours after her skinny companion is down for the count. In a later incident, Katie "discusses" the protective properties of fat in an inner monologue, suggesting that Sadie's abundant body fat may have at least partially shielded her from a radiation pulse that sickened certain other contestants. | |

It Only Works Once: Katie and Sadie's assault on Chris only works because they have surprise on their side. Nothing in their profiles suggested that they would respond with physical aggression to anything. Eva's climactic maneuver in the dodgeball match works largely because she had been hiding her ambidexterity for just such a need. | |

Chekhov's Gun: Lindsay's bandana. When Lindsay arrives on the island, the Storyteller notes that her bandana would serve her well, but leaves the details as "another story for another time". Sure enough, several chapter later, the presence of that bandana mitigates the damage when Lindsay's hair is burned. | |

Accidental Aiming Skills: The dodgeball match has a couple of examples: Played for drama when Lindsay scores the first kill of the match, hitting Bridgette despite aiming for the nearby D.J. Played for laughs when the last ball of Tyler's wild fusillade comes hurtling straight for Leshawna’s head. Tyler was actually trying to hit Cody, who was halfway across the court. | |

Pastiche | |
The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_242f638e | comment |
Pastiche: Although The 1,001 Nights is a prose work, some of the component stories have a good deal of poetry. LTDI somewhat duplicates this feel by insertion of (mostly famous) poems at various points where they fit or enhance the scene's mood. These poems are usually part of the narrative, but characters occasionally recite them in-universe. | |

Mythology Gag | |

Mythology Gag: Although Lindsay and Tyler are not a couple in the reimagining, there are a couple of nods to their canonical relationship: Tyler gives a seemingly involuntary wolf whistle when Lindsay reveals her new look after an emergency makeover. Tyler and Lindsay are one of the first couples to dance together at the boot camp party. Heather subsequently cutting in on Lindsay likewise refers to the canonical storyline where Heather tries, with mixed results, to keep Lindsay and Tyler apart for gameplay reasons. Gwen losing a finger in a challenge accident refers to a polarizing storyline in the canonical Season 2 (Total Drama Action) where her love interest Trent is revealed to have an obsession with the number nine. | |

A Party, Also Known as an Orgy: When the contestants start dancing to Ella's power-laden love ballads, the boot camp party turns into a family-friendly metaphor for a drunken orgy. There is a great deal of Kissing Under the Influence, although it is no ordinary influence and frequently no ordinary kissing. Nobody sticks with a single partner the whole night, with one boy kissing all the girls and at least one girl kissing all the boys, whom the girls outnumber. The next day, certain people in a position to know explicitly describe that kissing as having been as satisfying as sex. | |

Empty Shell: For a couple of days after a traumatic challenge accident, Lindsay is only dimly aware of her surroundings. She doesn’t even have enough self-awareness to eat or use the toilet without assistance. | |

The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_2cc5703c | comment |
Potty Emergency: After the buffet preceding the Awake-a-thon, Izzy and Katie each have the variant where they're about to lose control at the other end. Izzy quickly loses her battle, but Katie manages to maintain control when her teammate Justin distracts her by performing what amounts to a G-Rated Sex act on her. | |

The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_2cf282ea | comment |
She Is All Grown Up: When Katie and Sadie get makeovers after the talent show challenge (replacing their little girl pigtails with big hair, among other things) the Storyteller invokes this trope by noting that Katie and Sadie looked five years older than they had the day before. Also lampshaded by Noah, who says, "the kiddies have grown up." | |

Narrative Profanity Filter | |
The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_2eac5753 | comment |
Narrative Profanity Filter: The Lemony Narrator occasionally filters words and gestures, using all the major techniques: When Heather and Leshawna quarrel on the diving cliff, they cast aspersions on each other's "tastes, attractiveness, sexual proclivities, intelligence, ancestry, social standing and probable place of residence in the afterlife." Heather is "cursing under her breath" after Leshawna nearly gets her killed. During the Awake-a-thon, the Storyteller replaces a swear word of Izzy's with the milder "crap" with the disclaimer, "She actually used a far stronger word, but nothing would be gained by revealing it." When Chris reveals to everyone that Heather and her staff had monopolized the washroom all morning because they were making themselves over, the narrator reports that much grumbling ensues, "mostly along the lines of suggestions for where the Eagles' power alliance could put their makeovers." When the RCMP comes for Izzy, she defiantly points a finger at them—"not, it bears mention, the finger that most people usually point with". | |

Can't Live Without You: When Katie is dying of hypothermia, Sadie warms her with her own body because no other heat source is available. What distinguishes this from simple Intimate Healing is that (1) Sadie must keep it up all night; and (2) it doesn't actually heal Katie, it just stabilizes her (sort of). | |

Kissing Under the Influence: At the boot camp party, most of the possible boy/girl pairs kiss under the uncanny influence of Ella's singing. Everyone--even Ella herself--is affected to greater or lesser degree, although a few people retain enough self-control to refrain from kisses that would be especially problematic. | |

Sex Slave: Invoked, discussed and ultimately defied during the phobia challenge. When Ezekiel must choose which of two female campmate to save, with all three players reasonably believing that the girl not chosen will die, a bidding war ensues. Both girls eventually become so desperate that each pledges to effectively become Ezekiel's love slave for the whole summer if he will save her. When the girl he saves later suggests that she has not forgotten her promise, Ezekiel's Above the Influence moment defies the trope. | |

Hormone-Addled Teenager: When Heather reads Gwen's diary to the world, she embellishes her reading to paint Gwen in this light, depicting Gwen’s schoolgirl crush on Trent as nigh-pornographic sexual fantasies. When Duncan contemplates the fact that he likes Courtney more than he really wants to, he attributes this to “[s]tupid hormones”. Exaggerated at the boot camp party. Encouraged by the disinhibiting effect of Ella singing love songs for slow dancing, most of the possible boy/girl pairings kiss, and most of those more than once. Everyone eventually figures out or is told what is happening, but most embrace the possibilities instead of fearing them. | |

The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_3d455888 | comment |
Then Let Me Be Evil: Discussed by Heather and Sadie. When Sadie fears that the producers will give her a villain edit if she goes along with a certain scheme of Heather's, Heather replies in pertinent part that Sadie should "go with the flow" if the producers want to do that, because "There's no such thing as bad publicity." | |

Curb-Stomp Battle: One team scores a "flawless victory" in the paintball deer hunt challenge, thanks largely to the stratagem of "borrowing" Chef Hatchet's plane and hunting from the air. | |

Date Rape: "Discussed" via inner monologue. The morning after the boot camp party, the semiconscious Duncan realizes that he's not alone in his bed, and one thought he has on the matter is to wonder if someone had spiked the soda with a "date rape" drug. He dismisses the idea because he can't think of anyone who would have access to such drugs, let alone the inclination to use them. | |

Because Heather's new look is impractical for camp life, she goes back to her usual outfit the next day. Lindsay, Katie and Sadie, having chosen more practical makeovers, stick with their new looks for the rest of the summer. | |

Disproportionate Retribution: Leshawna and Heather’s argument on the diving cliff ends with Leshawna nearly killing Heather (albeit accidentally), whereupon the Storyteller invokes the trope. | |

Three-Way Sex | |
The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_5565bf30 | comment |
Three-Way Sex: Several PG-rated references: Downplayed when Cody meets Katie and Sadie and sizes them up as "threesome material". Cody occasionally discusses the trope with Noah. These discussions typically take the form of Cody invoking the trope in reference to Katie and Sadie, and Noah defying it. Noah disdains threesomes because, as he puts it, “any bird worth making out with in the first place would be worth my undivided attention”; so if offered two girls, he would rather make out with them one at a time. | |

Death Song | |
The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_55c72164 | comment |
Death Song: One episode has a scene based on Tony's death scene in West Side Story. As a certain girl grieves on the dock for her departing joined-at-the-hip friend, the boy who's been crushing on her tries to comfort her by singing the Pie Jesu section of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Requiem. The girl briefly joins him in duet before their teammates join in chorus. This marks the official adoption of the Pie Jesu by both teams as a regular part of the elimination ceremony, as the other team had begun singing it several episodes before. | |

Almost Dead Guy: The dying Katie snaps out of her delirium for long enough to say goodbye to Sadie and to say that she has accepted her apparent fate, thereby setting up a major character development scene for Sadie. The trope is downplayed in that Katie merely falls unconscious instead of actually dying, although the situation suggests that she's not likely to ever regain consciousness. | |

You Go, Girl!: An early challenge has a focus flip, with the focus being on the skeptic rather than the girl. When Eva (an accomplished athlete with nothing to prove) stands as her team's last hope in a winner-take-all one-on-one against Justin, the sexist Ezekiel calls out encouragement to Eva and seems to like her chances. When asked, Ezekiel matter-of-factly points out that he's seen what Eva can do and that he isn't one to deny the evidence of his own eyes. This is the first solid evidence that Ezekiel has begun to re-examine his sexist attitudes. | |

Dying as Yourself | |
The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_663b22d9 | comment |
Dying as Yourself: Katie snaps out of her delirium for one last lucid moment, during which she says goodbye to Sadie. The trope is downplayed in that Katie merely falls unconscious instead of dying, but the situation is such that she fully expects to die. | |

Our Ghosts Are Different: When Heather is pretending to have seen the ghost of a dead campmate, Gwen states that ghosts can cause unnatural fear. Everyone assumes this is why the normally composed Heather looks like a complete basket case, although the truth is that Heather’s merely a good actress. | |

Mills and Boon Prose: Parodied in the Katie/Justin scene during the Awake-a-thon. The scene is written in the style of a romance novel (although the pregnancy imagery at the end is probably not a romance novel standard), but the situation is decidedly unromantic—Katie has overindulged at the buffet and is about to barf, which would disqualify her from the challenge. Her teammate Justin distracts her with sensual caresses until her stomach calms down. | |

Paranormal Episode: The 17th Night chapter of this mostly realistic story heavily features supernatural elements. Dawn, who is canonically a psychic with aura reading and ambiguous additional powers, is revealed to be a full-blown sorceress and shows certain contestants that magic isn't as dead as they thought. Not only that, but Ella note canonically a Disney Princess parody is introduced, and her songs have explicitly magical effects beyond the canonical effect of taming animals. Her singing can even make Heather and Leshawna get along! | |

Heather regards beauty as Serious Business.

(Yes, she has ulterior motives, and yes, Lindsay was about to go off the deep end, but still...) | |

Trauma Conga Line | |
The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_71e8a5c5 | comment |
Trauma Conga Line: During roughly the second fifth of the story arc, very little goes right for a certain contestant. The floodgates open when a guilty conscience forces her to abase herself before a badly wronged teammate, who forgives her—for a steep price. In subsequent episodes, she (in no special order) loses her admirer and her best friend in separate incidents; unwittingly brings down an ancient curse on her team; dies (sort of); gets backstabbed by an ally; faces the prospect of becoming a sex slave; suffers lasting brain damage that impairs her short term memory; and almost dies again. Nothing less than supernatural aid offers any prospect of relief. The kicker is that all this wasn't part of any master plan by the author, it's just how the storylines developed. Throughout all these traumas, the victim matures somewhat and becomes less innocent, but otherwise behaves normally except for the memory impairment. | |

The hunters likewise have paintballs in their team colors, with each hunter having a different shade so the scorekeeper can tell at the end who hit whom. For the marksmanship training in the boot camp challenge, which also uses paintball guns, every player has a different color of paint to show in a viewer-friendly manner who hits what. | |

Morality Kitchen Sink | |
The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_7583ecbf | comment |
Morality Kitchen Sink: Most of the cast are varying shades of gray, but the following are notable and/or representative: Black: Chris, the host. He shows a callous disregard for human life. Near-black: Heather, the alpha bitch. She seems to enjoy her antagonist role a little too much to be a “gray”; but unlike Chris, she draws the line at the prospect of bloodshed. Dark gray: Duncan, the juvenile delinquent. He’s an experienced knife fighter and tends to view girls as objects, but he has too many Pet the Dog moments to be a “black”. Neutral gray: Chef Hatchet, Chris' aide. He’s a textbook Punch-Clock Villain. He understands and accepts the role of hardship in separating the game's contenders from the pretenders, but when approached with proper deference he can sometimes be persuaded to give the petitioners more help than his duties require or even technically allow, although he won't do anything that would affect the course of the game. Light gray: Katie and Sadie, the co-dependent clones. They’re friendly, loyal and supportive, but are also willing to get their hands dirty to get what they want. Near-white: Courtney, the Muskies’ nominal leader. She is well-meaning and compassionate, but is also willing to do what she thinks she must. White: Bridgette. She’s almost incorruptibly pure and is the only contestant known to have mourned the dead interns from the beginning. | |

Potty Failure | |
The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_7cd98af5 | comment |
Potty Failure: After the buffet preceding the Awake-a-thon, Izzy experiences the variant of losing control at the other end. In the phobia confession scene, Noah speculates that he would probably end up crapping his pants if an outhouse (his phobia object) was the only alternative. | |

Opening Narration: Every chapter except for the prologue and the first chapter of the inner story begins with stock narration based on that in The 1,001 Nights: "The next morning… and then she began to speak." There is some variation, most notably between weekday and weekend. | |

Mundane Fantastic: Although most people in this story’s setting have never seen a ghost or real magic, such are generally accepted to exist. Perhaps less so with ghosts, for Heather doesn't believe in them; but when she pretends to have seen the ghost of a dead campmate, the other contestants express little skepticism. | |

First-Episode Twist: Not actually in the first episode, but in the first challenge (2nd episode), which is close enough. Seeing the sharks get one of the contestants during the cliff diving challenge has a lasting impact on the surviving contestants, and is repeatedly referenced in later chapters. The schemers still scheme and the backstabbers still backstab because there's still a game to be won; but because of that one early incident, they're all in it together when someone gets into serious trouble. | |

Although they barely know the (presumed) deceased, they mourn him "not so much because he had been [who he had been], but because he had been one of their own." Chris reveals his callousness by refusing to officiate at the funeral, whereas Chef Hatchet shows that he's actually a pretty decent guy by agreeing to do so after Chris refuses. | |

External Retcon | |
The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_8f732211 | comment |
External Retcon: The reimagining has elements of this, as is perhaps the nature of reimaginings. The Storyteller tends to depict the contestants more realistically and multidimensionally than the canon does, justified in-universe by her insider perspective. She also makes references to manipulative editing by the in-universe producers, who wanted the finished episodes to suggest that the teams don't get along as well as they do. | |

Drama Bomb | |
The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_8fda1d64 | comment |
Drama Bomb: Through the first several chapters, Katie and Sadie are almost exclusively comic relief. Then, during the camping challenge, instead of a reimagined version of the childish quarrel they had in canon after getting lost, they are caught in a nighttime storm without adequate shelter or clothing and develop severe hypothermia, facing a very real possibility of decidedly uncomic deaths. | |

Character Exaggeration: Inverted in-universe. The Storyteller tends to depict the contestants more realistically and multidimensionally than the canon does, due to her insider perspective. She also makes references suggesting that the finished episodes mentioned in the reimagining don't depict the contestants any more multidimensionally than the canon episodes do. | |

Cathartic Scream | |
The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_927289f5 | comment |
Cathartic Scream: In the phobia confession scene, the contestants have cause to suspect that Courtney is afraid of green Jell-O as per canon.note In the original, her fear was to green jelly in general, as opposed to the Jell-O brand specifically. This leads to a running gag wherein various people refer to this suspected phobia in passing and Courtney vehemently denies it. The alleged phobia is finally mentioned once too often, and "[t]he camp rang with Courtney's scream of frustration." Various people are occasionally described as looking like they are ready to scream due to tension or exasperation. The first such incident comes when Chris, who is losing patience with the dimwitted Lindsay, addresses her by saying, “look, bra”, and she responds by looking down and inspecting her straining halter top. Chris looks ready to scream. | |

In other words, everything will be expensive. | |

Gut Punch: When a cliffhanger leaves a certain contestant whereabouts unknown, most readers naturally assume that the missing person will turn up alive and well, or at least not too much the worse for wear. Nope. This cliffhanger comes back just to watch the hanger fall, and after a futile search the missing contestant is presumed dead. It is at this moment that the story switches from a light comedy with some dramatic moments to a dark drama with some comic relief. | |

The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_a03a3bd4 | comment |
Eye Am Watching You: Several girls make the "I'm watching you" sign to Ezekiel as a warning to think before he speaks after Eva owns him for certain sexist remarks. Heather uses the "I'm watching you" sign from time to time as a veiled threat to her henchchicks when they are not obedient enough for her liking. | |

Never Speak Ill of the Dead | |
The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_a084f0e0 | comment |
Never Speak Ill of the Dead: At a funeral for a contestant who had been on the island less for less than 24 hours, most of the other contestants have little to say about him because they barely knew him, although several feel the need to say something. Courtney, an aspiring politician, gives a long-winded speech full of generalities and platitudes that she thinks will fit the occasion. | |

Homage | |
The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_a1a1491e | comment |
Homage: The entire work is homage to The 1,001 Nights, which is the story's structural model. The dodgeball match is largely homage to The Iliad, but Noah's rousing speech in blank verse during the match is based on the "St. Crispin's Day” speech from Henry V. Dawn enchanting the necklace is homage to the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, The Sorcerer. Dawn essentially acts out the titular sorcerer's part of the Incantation Scene. | |

Standard Snippet | |
The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_a3f1531b | comment |
Standard Snippet: The author being partial to symphonic music, there are naturally several examples: Chris uses the “Dies Irae” from Verdi's Requiem for the contestants' first wakeup call, playing it over the PA system at "cabin-shaking volume". The funeral montage is set to “Siegfried’s Funeral Music” from Wagner’s “Ring” cycle. During the talent show, Beth and Izzy perform their "dueling fire batons" act to Khachaturian’s "Sabre Dance". Also during the talent show, Courtney plays "The Flight of the Bumblebee". On one string. An emerging standard, the “Pie Jesu” section of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Requiem, eventually becomes a regular part of the elimination ceremony. | |

Gratuitous Latin: The story has two notable examples of proper Latin use: The story quotes several verses from the Latin poem "Dies Irae", in both Latin and English, when Chris plays the "Dies Irae" section of Verdi's Requiem "at cabin-shaking volume" for the first wake-up call. Ezekiel sings Andrew Lloyd Webber's setting of the "Pie Jesu" (also a standard part of a requiem) when a certain contestant leaves the island, and his team later makes it a regular part of the elimination ceremony. | |

Jerkass Realization: After seeing a contestant apparently die during a challenge, the Eagles mess with Beth's mind (Beth being the last Muskie to face the challenge), trying to get her to forfeit the point by suggesting that she will also die if she does what the challenge requires. The Storyteller notes that this was terribly callous of the Eagles, and that most of them would be mortified later when they realized what they had done. | |

Rule of Drama: In the trust challenge briefing, Chris tells the contestants that most of them get along too well, which isn't good for ratings, so the challenge has been designed to show them just how untrustworthy their teammates really are. note In the original, the "trust building" challenge was designed to exploit existing distrust for laughs. | |

Villain Sue: Invoked. Whilst Alejandro is escorting Beth off the diving cliff, he tells her about the elimination game he used to be on, and says that he was so dominant that the audience would probably have regarded him as an unrealistic Villain Stu had his show been a scripted story instead of a reality show. This lampshades the fact that Alejandro's canon counterpart was widely regarded as a Villain Stu. | |

Due to the Dead: Chris can’t be bothered to conduct a funeral for a presumably dead contestant, but Chef agrees to do so, thereby demonstating Chris' callousness and Chef's decency. The Elimination song is a metaphorical example. As the Boat of Losers (metaphorically, a funeral barge of sorts) departs with the most recently eliminated contestant, the remaining players sing the "Pie Jesu" from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Requiem. | |

Cody occasionally discusses the trope with Noah. These discussions typically take the form of Cody invoking the trope in reference to Katie and Sadie, and Noah defying it. Noah disdains threesomes because, as he puts it, “any bird worth making out with in the first place would be worth my undivided attention”; so if offered two girls, he would rather make out with them one at a time. | |

Odd Friendship: The socially awkward Beth and the manic, arguably psychotic Izzy bond during the talent show challenge when they discover that they share a talent for twirling fire batons and subsequently perform together. (“Twice the fire, twice the fun” as Izzy puts it.) After that, it’s not long before Izzy offers Beth an alliance. When the ambitious and driven Courtney takes it upon herself to re-educate country bumpkin Ezekiel to be acceptable to polite society, she perforce spends a good deal of time with him and quickly discovers that he has his share of admirable qualities, not least of which is a willingness to learn. During the camping challenge, Courtney all but tells Ezekiel that she has come to consider him a friend. | |

It’s not made clear which one says this because they are treated as being utterly interchangeable in this conversation. | |

Oh, Crap! | |
The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_ad1db87c | comment |
Oh, Crap!: The story's tone makes this a common reaction. Particularly noteworthy examples include: Owen's great "oh, crap" moment comes when Chef Hatchet tells him—in front of most of his teammates—that he probably cost his team the challenge by gassing two of his teammates. Heather reacts thusly during the camping challenge when she realizes that her team has overslept, thereby putting them in a deep hole for the race back. Izzy has her great "oh, crap" moment when she realizes that she put too much californium in her homemade firestarter, so the "firestarter" she just ignited is actually a nuclear bomb. When Dawn is doing a tarot reading for Katie, Katie's mind is wandering as she admires the artwork on the cards; but when Dawn mutters a rhetorical "oh, crap", she instantly has Katie's undivided attention. | |

I Can't Believe I'm Saying This: When Bridgette accepts that Duncan has a point during a group discussion, she says in pertinent part, "I hate to side with the walking rap sheet". When Lindsay wants to take time in a time-critical situation to do her makeup, Heather tells her that some things are more important than looking hot. A Beat later, Heather adds, "I can't believe I just said that, but it's true." | |

Be Careful What You Wish For: During the dodgeball match, after the hard-throwing but very wild Tyler hits the referee with his first throw, Eva says, "Not bad. Now let's see if you can hit an actual player." When Tyler, throwing from the back line, hits a teammate with his next throw, Eva invokes this trope. D.J. invokes this trope by name after Ezekiel, against whom D.J. bears a grudge, has apparently fallen to his death. | |

It's a Long Story: Invoked in the prologue.

Played straight during the trust challenge, when Lindsay senses that she's on the outside of an inside reference and asks Katie to explain. Katie demurs on the grounds that it's a long story, and it is indeed too long to tell in the time she has available. | |

He Who Must Not Be Heard : The interns are an enforced example. They do not normally appear on camera in the finished episodes and have instructions to not speak on camera except in emergencies. This doesn’t stop some of them being prominent in the story, though, due to the inner story's "behind the scenes" conceit. | |

Indian Burial Ground: Before the campers make their first trip to Boney Island, Chris informs them in the challenge briefing that Boney Island (now a wildlife sanctuary) was once a First Nations burial ground due to having a large natural feature that resembles a human skull. This gave rise to folkloric beliefs that (a) Boney Island attracts restless spirits from the surrounding area; and (b) people who die there will never be able to rest in peace. These legends later become plot points. | |

Forgiven, but Not Forgotten: When Katie and Sadie force Chris to let them be on the same team, he forgives them easily enough but does not forget. This is partly why Chris does what he can to protect Heather when Heather backstabs one of the clones for her own purposes. After a jealous boy blindsides a romantic rival, the third leg of the triangle forgives him—for a price—but occasionally reminds him that she has not forgotten. | |

Our Spirits Are Different: Several types of spirits, all with different properties, appear or are mentioned: A wendigo is allegedly trying to possess Katie because a Near-Death Experience has made her more vulnerable to such things. When Dawn performs a magic ritual to shield Katie, Dawn calls upon certain sprits for assistance. In the process, Izzy implies that her (presumably) imaginary friends may actually be spirits as well. | |

Magic Music | |
The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_c928d01d | comment |
Magic Music: When Dawn enchants the necklace, she speaks the incantation in a tuneful chant.note The text comes from the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, The Sorcerer, and Dawn is implied to use the same tune as in the opera. Ella's singing has explicitly magical effects in addition to the canonical effect of taming animals.note Ella's canon counterpart is a Disney Princess parody. It can even make Heather and Leshawna behave cordially toward each other. | |

Character Catchphrase | |
The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_d308cbb0 | comment |
Character Catchphrase: The Storyteller uses three notable catch phrases as narrative devices/flourishes: The phrase, "but that is Another Story for Another Time" foreshadows later (sometimes much later) subplots and plot points. Taken from The Sword of Shannara, wherein the Druid Allanon used this phrase whenever he mentioned anything touching on the origin of the elves. The phrase, "but nothing would be gained by repeating it here" is a narrative flourish for skipping over repetitive content. Taken from the Mardrus & Mathers translation of The Book of the Thousand and One Nights. The phrase, "as has been told of before" lampshades Call Backs. This catch phrase is not drawn from a specific source, but is merely part of the Storyteller's somewhat archaic narration style. | |

Red Herring: During the phobia confession scene, Ezekiel's confessed fear is the Sophie's Choice scenario. During the ensuing challenge, when the contestants must face their phobias, Chris calls Ezekiel away along with Izzy and Justin. The other contestants naturally fear for Izzy and Justin, assuming that Chris will make Ezekiel choose between them. According to the story's notes, this is a red herring intended to stop Ezekiel and the other contestants (not to mention the reader) automatically guessing whom Ezekiel will really have to choose between. | |

Chariot Race: During a canoe race, Courtney and Heather get into a paddle battle that parodies a chariot racing scene from Ben-Hur, wherein the racers took to whipping each other instead of their horses. Ezekiel and Lindsay are the obedient "horses" who continue to paddle whilst the alpha cats have their fight. | |

The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_ddc4f035 | comment |
Heroic Second Wind: Sadie has a figurative variant. When Katie is dying, Sadie does everything humanly possible to save her. After falling briefly into despair when she thinks that Katie has died anyway, Sadie realizes that she can't actually make that determination with any certainty. That hope, however faint, gives her the strength to carry Katie and try to find help. | |

Continuity Cameo: Several characters who debuted in the canon Season 4 or later cameo as interns with few or no lines.

Trash Talk | |
The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_dec8bfbf | comment |
Trash Talk: During the dodgeball match, Eva and Leshawna talk trash in preparation for a one-on-one duel. Because the scene is based on a scene in The Iliad, their trash talking is unusually elaborate. Heather and Courtney, as the leaders of their respective teams, occasionally trash talk each other, sometimes with tongue in cheek. A notable example of the latter follows the talent show briefing, where both repeatedly suggest that the other will be the next player eliminated when, in fact, neither expects the other to be going anywhere anytime soon. | |

When the partygoers realize what is happening, being the hormonal teenagers they are, they embrace the effect and decide it's a good night to play the field. By the end of the night, kisses pass between most of the possible boy/girl pairings. | |

Male Gaze: A close race sets up an in-universe example.

When Chris finds out, he warmly commends the cameraman on his viewer appeal instincts. | |

Standard Female Grab Area: In a downplayed example, Chris grasps Courtney's arm to stop her going with her campmates. His grasp is gentler than in straight examples of this trope because he only wants to restrain Courtney long enough to get her attention. Played straight when Chef Hatchet interrupts an eliminated female contestant's argument with an ex-campmate by grabbing the departing contestant by both arms and bodily placing her on the Loser Boat. Justified because Hatchet is far stronger than the girl and because said female has nothing to gain by resisting. | |

Chris looks ready to scream. | |

He Who Must Not Be Seen: The interns are an enforced example. Although a few interns are fairly prominent in the "behind the scenes" inner story, they do not normally appear on camera in the finished episodes which the Storyteller occasionally mentions. This has the effect of discouraging the contestants from fraternizing with the interns because, with all such interactions likely to end up on the cutting room floor, the contestants know that socializing with the interns will mean less screen time for themselves. | |

Dismissing a Compliment: When Noah arrives on the island and promptly gives several girls over-the-top compliments likening them to Olympian goddesses, Bridgette calls him a "silver-tongued devil". Heather observes, "Nerdling knows how to spin a compliment." | |

Groin Attack | |
The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_eaf5a1ac | comment |
Groin Attack: During the dodgeball match, Eva routinely throws at the groins of both male and female opponents—not because she's trying to hurt them, but merely because it's a difficult spot to defend well under dodgeball rules. Katie also does this for the same reason, but lacks the intimidation factor because she's not as strong. | |

Big Creepy-Crawlies: The scene where Lindsay is "cornered" replaces the canon cockroach with a large stag beetle - "harmless, but looking like something straight out of Hell." When Lindsay speaks of the incident a few days later, she innocently makes her "rescue" sound like "a pitched battle against a thousand-kilo, armor plated killing machine". | |

Resignations Not Accepted: When Beth is voted off after the first challenge, a challenge that left another contestant presumed dead, she pleads with Chris to be allowed to stay since her team is already a player down. When Brett asks why Beth didn't jump at the chance to escape, his mother explains that, among other reasons, the contestants were afraid of what Chris might have done to anyone whom he thought was deliberately trying to get voted off. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending: Sadie has one that comes at the end of an episode, rather than at the end of the story. Stranded alone in the woods with Katie, who is in critical condition from hypothermia, Sadie resorts to desperate measures to keep Katie alive through the night and somehow manages to haul her back to camp the next morning despite not being particularly strong and suffering from severe hypothermia herself. Katie survives, Chris awards the challenge to their team when he arguably should have disqualified it, and Katie and Sadie recover in time to celebrate Sadie's 16th birthday. | |

The wakeup call is the “Dies Irae” from Verdi's Requiem, which Chris plays over the PA system at “cabin-shaking volume". | |

Another multi-episode gag, as well as an in-universe in-joke among the contestants, is to name Izzy’s imaginary friend as an informant. Contestants thus say, "Sunshine told me" in the same way that an angry mother might say to her misbehaving child, “a little bird told me”. Courtney's NOT afraid of Jell-O. | |

Dog Food Diet | |

Dog Food Diet: Played with during the first meal. The sloppy joe meat looks suspiciously like dog food. | |

Non-Malicious Monster | |
The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_fd1b902c | comment |
Non-Malicious Monster: The giant man-eating lampreys infesting the lake may be monstrous, fearsome and dangerous, but they're no more sapient or sinister than their smaller, real world counterparts. The one that attacked Leshawna saw her as a food source—nothing more, nothing less. | |

The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_fdd20c06 | comment |
Alternate Universe Fic: The story is a reimagining of Total Drama's first season, so perforce none of the show's canon events are directly acknowledged. | |

Bawdy Song | |
The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_ff24ad1d | comment |
Bawdy Song: During the camping challenge, the Muskies sing several such songs after dinner, including "Barnacle Bill the Sailor". They would even have sung "The Good Ship Venus" if enough of them had known the words. | |

Talking Is a Free Action | |
The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_ff5a74c8 | comment |
Talking Is a Free Action: Usually averted, but played straight in the dodgeball match, which is mostly written in the style of a battle scene from The Iliad. Heather lampshades the trope during the Eva/Leshawna scene, observing that everyone is watching them talk at center court despite the fact that nobody ever called time out. | |

The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_ffaa675b | comment |
Asian Speekee Engrish: When the Asian or half-Asian Heather tries to sit with Duncan and Ezekiel during the Awake-a-thon, Duncan invokes this trope by saying, "She so horny, love us long time" with a stereotypical Far Eastern accent and a bad imitation of Heather's voice. | |

The Legend of Total Drama Island (Fanfic) / int_ffb34813 | comment |
Obi-Wan Moment: When Katie senses that she is going to die, she says that she’s not afraid During the phobia challenge, the Storyteller describes Heather's calm reaction to her phobia object as "the serenity of one who ceases to fear death when about to die." (Heather faints moments later.) | |
