Canon Overview

[characterization, story role, further important appearances]

Popular Tropes & Fanon

DJ's Fanon Personal Name is often Benson. This comes from Total Drama Comeback, though Fannish Drift means much of Total Drama fandom do not know this is where the name came from. In Total Roblox Drama, he is called AJ. Fans may call him this outside of the Roblox fangame.

His appreciation days are November 20th (in Chefhatchet's Appreciation Calendar) and June 19th (on Ace-TD's Mega Character Appreciation List).

Subjects of Fannish Interest & Meta

He is commonly headcanoned as Asexual, as he's one of the few characters in the cast to not be involved in a romantic relationship over the course of the show.
