Leshawna Ball OC is a meme in Total Drama fandom which is an image of Leshawna made to look like a flat, perfect circle drawn in a paint program. The only part of her which is not in this circle is her neck and head, which look the same as she usually does.
This image comes from a collection made by Dutch fanartist GwenFanxxxx on Fanpop, who also applied this process to many other Total Drama contestants. Although Fanpop posts are not dated, it can be assumed these are from 2010-2011 based off of tags used, GwenFanxxxx's DeviantArt account activity relating to Total Drama at the time, Archived version, and the earliest dated reference to this collection being on a demotivational memes page on January 6th, 2012[1]. Another early reference was on Tumblr in 2013[2].
During 2020, the image resurfaced on TikTok. The exact term Leshawna Ball OC, as well as Leshawna herself being the standout example from the collection, comes from a thread on Twitter from June 14th, 2020[3].
In a thread discussing when people remove letters from the LGBT acronym, a user asks about another's icon, which is the Leshawna ball image. The response, "Leshawna ball oc," became a meme.

Same with biphobic people... I saw this girl have LGT in her bio and it automatically made me dislike her.

Leshawna ball oc
This meme has spawned a large amount of Fanac. Leshawna may be turned into other shapes, often called Leshawna Geometry, and other Total Drama contestants may be given the Leshawna-ball treatment. The meme may be paired with the theme song to A.N.T. Farm by China Anne McClain and DJ, who said "Labomba" on the show.
The fanart may be called fat fetish art. However, this is unlikely to be the case. GwenFanxxxx made the fanart as a child with a variety of characters and likely just found it funny.
GwenFanxxxx's Other Balled Characters
Leshawna was not the only one. Others include Alejandro, Blaineley, Bridgette, Chris McLean, Ezekiel, Gwen, Heather, Lindsay, Noah and Trent. She also did another Fanpop user's (PeachE) original character. She likely did more, though this is not known for sure at this time. Links are on this Pastebin, as because GwenFanxxxx's Fanpop has since been deleted, they exist only as separate posts to the club total-drama-island and are not accessible as a full list any other way.
