The PowerEdd AU is fucking delicious. A delicacy. My compliments to the chef (this is genuinely like one of the best fics I've read in a while)

YYAAAAYYYY! I’m so glad. You can thank my inspirations: miraculous ladybug, doofenshmirtz and perry the platypus, and my friend pidge. (Who will be taking my hand in marriage tomorrow /j)

SEND ALL LOVE TO @greasypigeonart TOO BECAUSE I ONLY DO HALF OF THIS! I do a lot of the planning and organizing and promotion but they have this delightfully delicious writing style that makes it so much better. All the tord bits you are obsessed with? All pidge

[minkshame]

Now that i got past comic 20(the one i was stuck on) i will be more consistent with comics again. GO BACK AND READ ALL OF THEM!

[minkshame]

HI! a preview of next chapter because i feel like i havent UPDATED Y’all. Me and pidge are writing this a little differently where we figured out the chapter events and went our separate ways to write big chunks instead of rping.

Anyway

Here’s some of my bit.

Edd shovels cereal down his throat in a rage filled haze. He’s like a man possessed. He still aches physically, and is properly grumpy to boot. His very scowl could curdle the milk in his bowl. He grumbles to himself in a way that makes all three other members at the dining table scoot their chairs away. They know— Do not poke the bear.

It’s a bloody miracle that there are indeed THREE other people eating with him, frankly. Tord managed to show his face this morning and Edd had to restrain himself from socking the bastard in his smug ass jaw. He seemed so chipper. There was an odd swing in his step. And he whistled while he poured his coffee. The brunet clenches his fist around his spoon. It bends like warm butter in his hand. He doesn’t care if they notice.

Tom rustles his newspaper and clears his throat. The noises grate on Edd’s ears and nerves. He glares. Matt shushes Tom worriedly, leaning over and waving his hand. Then he gasps.

“Oi— Who is that?”

Matt was clearly reading along over Tom’s shoulder because he snatches the paper right from Tom’s callused mitts. The empty eyed brit doesn’t put up a fight about it, he just stares at Edd. Maybe he was trying to read more than just the headlines.

“He was fighting someone new?” The ginger’s blown up eyes start scanning the article.

Edd stabs into his bowl with murderous intent.

“Looks like it,” Tom replies flatly, his gaze not breaking away from the brunet. Edd glares up at him, silently rolling his eyes, sending a message of ‘what of it?’ Tom raises one brow. He cocks his head to the side in a jerky motion that indicates he wants to take the conversation to another room. Edd shakes his head no in return. Not now. Not yet.

Tom sighs and leans back in his chair.

“Who is this?” Matt lays the newspaper on the table and points to the blurry picture of Red Leader.

“Who knows,” Tord finally pipes up. He’s smirking. Edd’s stomach clenches at the sound of his voice. “If they’re fighting, then… they are just enemies, I suppose.”

“You got what you were asking for, then!” Matt replies, brightly. His eyes widen in Tord’s direction as he grins.

“What?” Edd furrows his brow in befuddlement.

“A hero needs a villain,” Tord muses, simply. Edd turns to stare at him, mouth agape. Tord thinks so…? “When Matthew first showed me this, I wondered why he had no one to fight.”

“This could be scary,” Matt gnaws at his lip while continuing to scan his eyes back and forth over the words. “They don’t even know the new person’s name.”

“I’m sure we’ll find out,” The norsk stands from his chair with his empty mug. He’s smiling gently, and Edd’s muscles twitch with the urge to pick up the table and flip it.

[minkshame]

i said this on twitter but hes my wiwi. who gave him the right to stick his tongue out and be so cute and joyous. GOD BLESS LOST EDDSWORLD!

[minkshame]

Love how you reiterate that the reason Tord doesn't recognize that PowerEdd is Edd is that he's stupid, because he really is in canon. Like you Get It. He's a stupid genius 💔

He's a moron. He's not even an evil genius in the goulden era bro here are some of his famous lines: "that was a close one back there" "sounds good to me" "we need to come up with a plan" "Nooooo" "I-is the coast clear?"

yeah a real smarty pants there

Yes of course i do anon. Tell me everything

[minkshame]

a bit new to eddsworld BUT

how do u pinpoint the main 4 and their general characterization? i struggle a bit to with their personalities and kinda just wanted to learn more about them from anyone

Everyone has their minutiae about the four lads but I can give you my take for sure. Tbh my takes have kind of changed over time! I was a bit legacy-pilled about some aspects for a while and i do still incorporate things from that these days but definitely less. I try to lean into ALL eras when writing.

Everyone has their own ways, but please feel free to use what I say here! I love when people like my ideas. This got long sorry autism

Edd: Probably most mischaracterized by the old fandom. Edd has main character syndrome, I think. He believes he should always get what he wants. He's pretty rude, tho none of them have tact at the end of the day. Legacy softened him a LOT, most likely due to Gould's passing making it a bit of a tender subject to portray the character with negative traits. I do think Edd is soft spoken and a sweet guy if he cares about you, but is he NICE? GENERALLY? no. He'll tell you quite frankly that he thinks you're lame. He'll laugh at your misery. He is the "first to poke fun". He's also immature. Thinks girls have cooties. Watches cartoons in his tighty whities. Has owned the same shirt for 20 years. Creature of habit, doesn't like change. He's also really sentimental. He's here for fun and cats and memes and lame puns and a nice juicy burger he can bite and get the oil dribbling down his chin. I love you Edd

Gender: Cis Male he/him. I can also see Edd as nonbinary Orientation: Bi but also aroacespec in some way. Ethnicity: Born in Britain but I think both of his parents are White/Filipino, making him mixed as well

Tom: While I can get behind the depressed headcanon, I'm not huge on Tom being such a debby downer ALL the time. Ska music is his thing and that's upbeat and trumpety. He's pretty whimsical by default, sarcastic and gooberlike, does the weirdest stuff out the four (drink paint, for example). He is the one cracking the one liners when Edd isn't. He talks impossibly fast. He loves and loathes himself at the same time, and when he drinks he's either the most fun guy you've ever met or the angriest asshole ever. Has one hell of a grumpy face. Has bones in his hair. Is probably double jointed. He's just a freak. Also really creative, just like Edd! But more of a writer/musician than a visual artist.

Tom is really versatile. He can be the cynical voice of reason who hates everything currently happening, or he can be the one causing the problems by blowing everything up with a grin. He can be the tough guy, or the sensitive teddy bear. He's bisexual in every way!

Gender: transmasc, he/him. Transitioned as a young child Orientation: Bi full stop Ethnicity: Also mixed, his dad is white and from Chicago, his mum is black and scouse.

Matt: Matt had the biggest personality shift, so it's nice to place him somewhere in between to keep it faithful. I honestly think beyond does a good job with him. Matt is REALLY self centered no matter what, though. In early shorts he is actually kind of genuinely an evil asshole, and I usually chalk that up to his teenage angsty hyper masc phase. He was "lashing out". I dont LOVE neutered legacy matt, but I do enjoy when he has his fast talking scared ramblings. He does it in Hammer and Fail, i think that is Matt at his best. A little bit of a crybaby, very narrow minded, but able to understand what is going on. Has good ideas on accident.

Is clean with his body and appearance, but horribly disorganized with his possessions. Has every allergy. Probably chronically ill. Sickly victorian child.

I just would describe my matt as fussy. He gets upset about little things, he wrinkles his nose in disgust at you and he does not hide it. He's a disorganized mess but he really notices the little things about people. Weirdly perceptive in areas and clueless in others. Rude, like the rest. If given an inch of affection, will take a mile. Loves to love. hopeless romantic. FUCK THIS GUY!!!! (woman)

Gender: bigender, flips back and forth. (he/she) Orientation: Pan Ethnicity: Irish and English

Tord: The one people really argue over. His legacy personality seems to overtake most fanworks, but I kind of view him as the opposite. Tord in classic has only a few lines, and his character traits are “guns, bacon, hentai”. Ok… so he’s quiet and pretty narrowly focused. So this is key— Autism. He is quite nonverbal. When he does talk, he says things he shouldn’t. He calls people unintelligent, while they can hear it. He means it objectively. He is afraid of women. Or being loved.

Legacy Tord is boisterous. Loud. The controller of the conversation. This is why I saw him as a clone. I can sprinkle bits of him into normal Tord (the habit of inventing or tinkering, a bit of a villain complex) but generally they are different.

I have a particular headcanon about how he was raised that factors into his personality but I think in general if you want to be faithful to classic Tord just make him edgy and maladjusted. He’s too quiet for anyone to notice how bad his opinions are, though.

Gender: Cis Male (he/him) until middle aged and then Transfemme (she/he/it) Orientation: bi. His preferences change as he ages as well. Ethnicity: Norwegian of course
