Hey you, so I recently had a pretty lengthy ramble about Eddsworld Legacy and a lot of the decisions that we/I made in my vlog. This was in response to the criticisms I’ve faced since (and even more so after) show running the series. I know most people won’t dedicate 12 minutes of their life to my on-camera mumblings so I figured I’d sum up one of the most important points in a blog post (since it was largely a blog post that spawned those criticisms). I want to talk about the character of Tord, why he was brought back, and what it meant. I’ll try (and likely fail) to keep this brief.

In 2008 I came up with the idea for a series called Super Average, a show I still plan on making one day. The dream was to write it with Edd and have him lead the animation. For obvious reasons, we never got the chance to work on it together. We had however planned on fusing it with Eddsworld, setting it in the same universe, and having the big, bad villain be a fellow named Red Leader. Hell, he’s even name-dropped in WTFuture (2010). While we were never going to reveal the identify of this villain, it wouldn’t have taken a rocket scientist to figure it out.

With Edd gone, development on Super Average was put on pause while I/we worked on Eddsworld Legacy. However, I always knew that Red Leader would one day live on in Super Average so we kept throwing little hints to the greater narrative into the Legacy episodes. The Red Army, the Red Leader ‘R’ logo, etc.

That brings us to the finale of Eddsworld Legacy: The End. Tord was brought back largely because we thought it would be a cool episode that would give the fans what they’d been begging for for years. We also thought it could provide a payoff for all the foreshadowing in case Super Average never came to pass. Part 1 was planned to have Tord showing up, destroying the house to retrieve a super weapon, and leaving. Part 2 was going to be a house hunt episode (and also a musical). Obviously this changed during writing into more of a rivalry story (playing on the Tom/Tord rivalry of earlier eddisodes). As for the musical eddisode, we put Trick or Threat together instead.

After The End was released I stupidly said that the episode, and subsequently Tord, was a metaphor for the return of Edd’s cancer. Eddie, my writing partner, doesn’t even recall me mentioning this as we wrote the episode. In reality, the only way I worked this metaphor into The End was with the destruction of the gang’s house and the need to get a new one.

Tord wasn’t a metaphor for cancer, I just wanted to seem like a smart writer.

With Eddsworld Legacy over, I’ve picked up work on Super Average again. The characters have been designed (including Red Leader), a pitch has been made, and a pilot script is currently in production. However, with consideration of criticisms and hindsight from Eddsworld, I’ve decided to scrap the character of Red Leader. The design and character will no doubt be repurposed if the series begins but Red Leader will never be seen again. This is to not only distance myself from Eddsworld as it’s time for me to do but also to relieve the character of Tord from my control. I’ll leave ol’ Red’s designs here for the memory.

🖲 🚨 personal signal-boost thing 🚨 🖲

∙DECEMBER 2, 2017

really serious vent/ signal notice – dont feel obligated to read/ you guys are more than welcome to reblog

hhh sooo.. um. i dont know how to put this in a shitty tumblr post but..

my family is broke. homeless almost. we’re living off of food stamps and selling shit in our shop and on ebay & craigslist and thats hardly enough. my dad is in debt for supplying my brothers and i w child support ($20,000+) and we’re barely hanging on. lmao im in tears  as i type this

today i sold my phone, my drawing computer and since i dont have a computer to do digital art with ig i could sell my tablet but its really  old and shitty and not worth much so really theres no point in that. 

i dont know how long this is gonna be, i wont be able to do digital art, and bc of that i (ironically) cant open commissions. i refuse to open any donation pools right now because i really dont want to beg for money from people. i dont have a phone or a laptop right now and im actually typing this on our old backup computer bc its the only one we have right now. i cant get a job bc of my disability and mental illness and i wouldnt make much off of a part time job anyway– so basically at this point im just waiting for a miracle that will save our family from starving and losing our home.

EDIT: if i end up making a donation pool for my family i’ll reblog this post and link to it there but UNTIL THEN!! SIGNAL BOOSTS HELP!! 

thanks guys. i love you :º)

HURRICANE IRMA EVACUATION

hi, my name is jason. i live in florida and i am so fucked. 

hurricane irma was declared stronger than hurricane harvey. harvey was a category four, irma is a category five. i can’t take a plane to live with family, they live in the very poor areas of Jamaica, which is is the Caribbeans, which is y’know, also getting destroyed. 

i live with a family of five. a 7yro brother, a 3yro sister, my physically ill mother, and my father (i also have a dog named mandy and i love her so much but that’s besides the point.) i’m poc, trans, a cancer patient, and i’m not too sure if we’ll be able to afford to leave. my mom (who is the main source of income) is not going to be paid for a while. we don’t have enough money to last for all five of us, so i really just. am begging you guys for money. i don’t know if we’re going to leave, or if we’ll stay. but either way, we need money.  

i hate doing this because my birth name is on my paypal, but please send some money my way. i’m really scared. https://www.paypal.me/T4ROT

if you can’t donate, please just reblog. i’m so scared.

Here you go, anon!

I`m not sure if that answers your question really, but usually I sketch like this! Most of the time it`s even more messy, the more complicated the poses are, but I hope this catches the essence a bit!
