td tumblr was a competition on Tumblr for Total Drama fandom. It was a popularity contest to see who was the most popular character and character pairing on the website. It ran from 2012 to 2015 by chefhatchet and chref, both former Total Drama BNFs.

The final two were Dawn and Brick. Dawn was the winner.

td tumblr 2013

chefhatchet hosted the second td tumblr competition in 2013. This one featured characters rather than ships and was ran during December.

There were often posts for "protecting" certain characters from being eliminated as well as others saying to vote of certain characters. Things got pretty heated, but it was all in good fun. After Courtney got eliminated, she returned as a wild card pick by chefhatchet.

When the final three were revealed to be Noah, Courtney, and Heather, fans made fake Courtney winning speeches. Others were otherwise still creative in convincing others to vote off the remaining contestants.

PLEASE VOTE FOR COURTNEY SHE NEEDS YOUR HELP!! Do you really want a skinny-pathetic nerd to be your td tumblr fan-favorite? All he is gonna do is sit there and complain and not help out this fandom at all and have everyone do everything for him! BUT IF YOU VOTE FOR COURTNEY SHE WILL PUT TWO NEW SODA MACHINES IN THE CAFTERIA! oh f**k i used the wrong speech.[4]

In the end, Noah won over runner-up Courtney with 429 to his name while Courtney only had 376[5]. Many memes were made later of Noah with a crown on his head and otherwise having a newfound rivalry with Courtney.
