Popular Tropes & Fanon
Autistic!Lindsay is a somewhat common interpretation of her character, as is ADHD!Lindsay.
Lindsay is often redesigned by fans, more so than any other contestant beside Gwen. delightfully-deranged-dagur's redesign, Archived version is one of many.
Lindsay's Fanon Personal Name is often Top. 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, she is called Libby. Fans may call her this outside of the Roblox fangame.
Her appreciation days are July 18th (in Chefhatchet's Appreciation Calendar) and September 20th (in Ace-TD's Mega Character Appreciation List).

Lindsay, the Comrade?
A post on Tumblr by totaljenisland in 2019 where Lindsay reads Marx went viral. It has over 60k notes as of November 2023, escaping confinement from Total Drama's Tumblr fandom. The image of Lindsay reading Marx may be referenced in fanworks. A similar meme was made for Cody later in 2019 by alecodys.
