Total Drama Armageddon
is the 9th OC season in Agreenparrot's series of fanfics of Total Drama.
24 contestants are divided into 3 teams of 8. They arrive in what appears to be a deserted wasteland. Not all is at seems though, but their new hostess, Jeanette Washington, seems to be set on assuring them everything is fine. And then of course, they have a game to play for a million dollars...
Total Drama Armageddon provides examples of...
- Brainless Beauty: Played with in the "Pretty Girls" alliance Lana attemepts to set up. Lana is a straight example, being unaware of Wally's existence half the time when he's on her team. Sashonelle, who is a pro model but is also one of the biggest schemers in the cast, is an aversion. Brittany downplays the trope, with more focus being given to her fashion sense than actual beauty and being portrayed as a Cloudcuckoolander rather than actually dumb.
- Breather Episode: Chapter 6 is the only chapter without an elimination. Instead, everyone is scattered about and the challenge is used to determine swap teams.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Several.
- Brittany seems off in her own world, caring more about what's "trendy" and spouting off self-made aphorisms that don't make much sense to anyone else.
- Wally becomes one as time goes on. As the game gets tougher, his logic and read on the situation becomes increasingly off base, bordering on Sanity Slippage.
- Tricia is introduced as a mix of this and Genki Girl.
- Disaster Movie: The season as a whole themes challenges around disaster movies, evoking the feel of the genre. Chapter 18 is a Disaster Episode (and is titled that) and is the only "real" disaster the show didn't plan for the contestants.
- Gender-Equal Ensemble: 12 girls, 12 boys. Notably the starting teams are all a 4-4 ratio as well.
- Love Dodecahedron: Wally is attracted to Lana. Lana is infatuated with Conor, who has a crush on Melania. Melania meanwhile can't choose between him and Niles
- Musical Episode: The finale. The entire challenge involves the Final Two singing for viewer support to win.
- For the whole series. In this season, contestants can randomly break out into song to discuss the plot. Sometimes someone will have their own number, other times the entire cast will have a part in a song to show their differing points of view.
- Non-Gameplay Elimination: The first episode eliminates a contestant based on performance in the challenge, rather than a regular vote.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Melania and Conor have this dynamic. Both are considered The Leader of their original teams, but do it in different ways. Melania is driven by a need to succeed and is often set in her ways in how she'll feel about something, with no time for distractions. Conor meanwhile simply wants to keep the peace and is willing to listen to everyone, wanting to help as many as possible.
- The Starscream: Jeanette is revealed to be this to Chris.
