Whumpuary January 5: Do you trust me

Context/ Au under cut

Context 

This is for an Au made by me and @paradoxlemonade a long while ago. 

Red leader is not ‘our’ Tord, he's a clone that managed to escape during Spares. Tord left to go back to college but gets kidnaped by the clone to design weapons for the army. Clone! Tord was more than capable of doing it himself–getting the original was merely a time saver. During an attack by the Resistance he manages to escape unseen. He cuts and dyes his hair darker like he had during his early twenties in a gas station bathroom to avoid anyone looking at him too closely.

He finds his friends and tries to explain what happened.They have no reason to believe Tord. Tom does not believe him and openly despises him. Matt and Edd really want to believe him. Matt voices this, but Edd does not and cannot. He is the resistance leader. If he makes the wrong call, the results will be devastating and deadly. Tord tries to prove his story by helping with pointing weak points and creating counter measures. The resistance had bodies but not a lot of power or training. Tord can give them firepower which in turn buys them time.

Edd eventually plans a full-on assault on the Red Army’s main stronghold. Its risky but he’s out of time and soon resources. Tord knows that it will probably end the Resistance if this goes as planned. Tord comes up with a plan-Taking out the Red Leader. Any fingerprint scanners, password deduction, retinal scans—if Red Leader is in the system, then Tord can get in. Its a suicide mission but its the best chance they’ve got. No one trusts him enough for him to put his plan into motion, all except for Matt.

Matt is the only one who believes that he’s on their side and can get him the tools he needs. Matt also trust’s Tom and Edd’s judgment. He has to make a choice.

Matt arms Tord and breaks him out of the resistance compound, driving him to a drop location near the Red Army’s main stronghold. If Tord was telling the truth, he would drive away safely. If not, he will be dead before the sun sets.

He drives away safely. No turning back now.

Edd and Tom are pissed when Matts returns without Tord, but the plans for their assault on the compound are already in motion and they can’t afford infighting. If the mission succeeds, they will deal a heavy blow to the Red Army. If not, well, at least they won’t be alive to regret it.

They arrive to the base already in chaos. It’s still wasn’t an easy battle, but it’s a steamroll compared to previous fights. They breach the inner sanctum. They find two corpses–Red Leader and Tord. Tord gave his life to take him out. With the Red Army’s power so centralized, it struggles to regroup after this massive blow and is pushed back by the resistance before falling. They won. They know what it cost them.

casual red leader is kinda silly actually

''Red leader'' - drabble

(tord x reader), where these two reunite years after

You look up and down at Tord, staring in awe.

It’s been… what, a decade? Maybe even more, since you last saw him. You never expected him to be your new boss.

 Much less the red leader everyone talked about.

The right side of his face was covered by a large, red scar. Making you wonder when or how he got it. And if you could've helped him had you both stayed in contact.

His right eye was covered by an eyepatch. You look down, frowning when noticing the robotic arm. The one that was holding a cigar between two fingers.

Your eyes then swiftly go back to staring at his, and you gulp.

"You look... different.’’ You murmur, a bit awkwardly. ‘’Uh, did you get a new haircut?" You say, looking up at his hair that resembled horns. It was still the same as ten years ago.

You’re not sure how to describe the look on his face, as he takes his time to puff on the cigar.

"(Y/N), I lost an arm." He finally says. And you blush, looking away.

"I know. The hair cut thing was a farce.’’ You sigh, look at him again with a frown.

‘’I just didn't want to be rude, you know? But since you brought it up… what the hell happened to you?"

He laughs, shaking his head. ‘’You haven’t changed at all’’ He throws his cigar to the floor, stepping on it. ‘’A lot has happened since we last saw. So! How about we catch up on life, elsklingen min?’’ He says, leaning closer to you and putting his arm around your shoulder, walking with you.

‘’elskilnge what?’’ You look up at him, tilting your head, ‘’You know I don’t know Norwegian, Tord.’’

(elsklingen min: my love)

[ask-edd-ew]

<< @ask-tord-ew >>

(Post - The End part 2 !!)

Tord was walking down the street, bruised face, robotic arm, head hung low, hand in the pockets of his old black jacket (yes i added the 2004 jacket >:3) underneath his classic red hoodie, until he spotted a familiar face.... Green hoodie, brown hair, bacon cola.. Wait.. EDD?! Tord's eyes are slightly widened as he sees his old "friend", Edd.

He'd been walking towards the store to get groceries for him and his friends. He took a sip from his soda can.

Demeddtial AU - Tord n Todd (Thorkell)

So, Todd always lived under the pressure and expectations of his parents to be the next Red Leader, which he was not interested in. Todd really is a free soul, with no real goals. On the other hand, Tord was always displaced by his parents, with no one really caring about his existence besides Edd and, unbeknownst to Tord, his older brother Todd. Tord always wanted to be the Red Leader, that was his greatest desire and goal, and even if his parents were not interested in him having that information, Tord began to learn about leadership by wanting to command and improve the army with his robotic creations. Todd, unlike his parents, did notice his brother's dedication and, as not like Tord, Todd had no goals in life, Tord admired how his brother did have goals and was willing to achieve them

1st request i think yayyy anything do you think you could just post ur own romantic headcanons for tord??? i just think itd be interesting

Yes, this is my first request, thank you for submitting!! I love Tord, he’s definitely one of my favorite Eddsworld characters. It was super fun to think about how his personality (and how it changes so drastically throughout the series) would affect his romantic relationships. I had to really put some thought into this one!

// I wasn’t sure if you wanted pre-End Tord or post-End Tord, so I did them both.

——————————————————

Tord (pre-“The End”)— Romantic Headcanons

As pervy as he may seem, Tord is a very romantic person when it comes to his partner. Most of the things he’d do, though, would be very cheesy and cliché. Most of his exposure to anything close to romance comes from his hentai novels, which don’t offer much in the realm of real-life love. So he resorts back to the basics: flowers and chocolate, picnics, movie nights, etc. Not very creative but still sweet, and you can tell he puts effort into what he does for you.

Speaking of movie nights, he LOVES horror movies. He’ll totally hold you while you watch them if they scare you.

Major cuddlebug. He can’t get enough physical contact. No matter where you are, he’ll be laying on you, holding your hand while you walk together/having you cling to his arm, resting an arm around you while you’re out together, always something, but not in an overbearing way.

DEFINITELY talks to you in his native language (even if you don’t understand), especially when he gets tired. He’ll lay on top of you and yap in Norwegian until he falls asleep.

Doesn’t mind PDA at all, as long as it doesn’t cross the line of public indecency.

Kind of a jackass. He tends to act before he thinks, which often results in borderline stupid things happening. Eventually he learns to take your worry and concern for his reckless behavior seriously and lightens up on the impulsive actions.

Tord’s not the most emotional person on the planet, so sometimes he doesn’t think to communicate his feelings with you simply because he doesn’t think they’re a big deal. He opens up eventually, though.

If arguments ever happen, he’s not prone to making them worse. As immature as he may be sometimes, he values his partner and his relationship and prefers not to let disagreements drive a wedge between you.

Overall very chill and pleasant to be with.

——————————————————

Tord (post-“The End”)—

Romantic Headcanons

After his time away from the group and his betrayal in The End, Tord matured quite a bit. He had a deeper understanding of relationships (both romantic and platonic) and wanted to keep the few he had left going strong after he broke things off with the rest of the “gang”.

Low-key (high-key) embarrassed about his giant robot plan’s failure. He was very sure it would succeed and it definitely bruised his ego a bit to have it explode and leave him injured in the process. He confides in you about it and tries to come up with a better plan.

While he’s busy with his army, he makes sure to still treat his partner with dates, however they become more secluded and less public in order to keep himself concealed. More stay-in, at-home dates like movie nights, fancy dinners at home, stargazing in the backyard, baking together, etc.

When he’s working on his regime, he lets you in on his plans and entrusts you with helping him manage things. But he won’t let you anywhere near the weapons or the battlefield- he wants to keep you safe.

While he lets you help him manage things related to his army, he introduces you to Paul and Patryck and has you dish out commands through them, rather than interacting with his soldiers directly (again, anonymity=security).

Leading an army takes a toll on him. He’s a lot more open about how he’s feeling and trusts you with his problems. After a long day overseeing the Red Army, he’ll come home to you and seek you out for consoling almost immediately, whether that be for venting about his day or just silently keeping eachother company.

Still super physical, but prefers not to be seen together in public because he doesn’t want people to associate you with the army in order to keep you safe. If he goes down, he doesn’t want to drag you with him.

Overall, he trusts you and sees you as his second-in-command. You bring him comfort and stability in the volatility of running the red army.

And a version with jacket on

Plus a slight lore drop: soooo not sure if thats visible beacouse of the long sleeve but this verision of tord as a red leader doesn't have the robotic arm or his normal one sadly. And the reason is in this au red army is an army only in the name in fact its more like a street gang (think something like team skull in pokemon sun and moon). So he didn't have a budget for a prostethic after he lost his arm.

[battyratzz]

Red Apocalypse "Red Leader" Anti-Red as well as Tord's father, I based him off of the Red Leader concept art as you can tell

Tord is a direct clone of his father btw

LORE DROP FOR RED APOCALYPSE:

Tord and his father do not have a good relationship at all though, since his dad didn't know how to raise a child he was very direct and demanding like a Commander instead of a father, and created trauma for Tord hence why he ran way with his friends at the age of 16

His father is pretty twisted tbh, i mean he does love Tord (kinda) but like he has a hard time understanding the concept of love. Tord was basically raised by his father's soldiers most of the time 

also his father died a while ago so his father's consciousness was already in the robot before Tord was created. also when I say that his Father is Twisted I mean that he literally made sure that his corpse stayed in tact so he could make a clone of himself to make Tord. bro literally kept his body parts contained just so he could have his DNA to make clones and like other fucked up creatures

[yourfaveisedwin]

My name is Tord

I made the Red Army

It was difficult to put the robot together

But unfortunately, something went so wrong

And now I can’t do anything but sing sunshine lollipops!

(My name is Tord… Tord.. Tord)

Requested by anonymous

[brodyfoxxsmassivetits]

You ever indulge in marktord? Him being disturbed by this weird creature of a man and yet simultaneously falling down bad for him while also having him wrapped around his finger?

yes! Butttt only because I got asked about it before...I don't typically do things with tord though but the idea is interesting!!

tysm for the ask:3!!!

Tord a common simpleton is hopelessly enthralled with funny handsome man he's so cooked

I am of the opinion Tord is evil in comical stupid incompetent way but still evil,wants to rule the world or something stupid when really he just means this specific uk area for... whatever reason. Bro made a stupid robot that didnt have a cool awesome random bullshit deflection ray he DESERVEd that shit.

Mark to me seems like a vindicative freakazoid and also not wholey incompetent like a certain red fellow. Tord probably THINKS he is but that's because he's dumb

What I'm saying is is Tord tries to recruit his ass for evil because you can never have too many people to help for evil (especially when your a horrible leader) and Mark sucks up enough to overthrow him and do what he wants.. while only feeling MARGINALLY bad about it

dark purple leader !!!!!!!!!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️orrr something

[cunttom]

May I present a hypothetical? Let's say you'd been called on to write for Eddworld after Edd Gould's passing. What would you do differently from the canon we have now?

well its hard to say with whats been done w it clouding hindsight, ykwim? its hard to imagine a tord conception without the end, or no ellsworlds, or no fun dead...plus, fan reception is really difficult to work around a la tomska being put under insane scrutiny and criticism while also being weirdly exalted.

Firstable id be ten yrs old so it would be extremely difficult. my comic at the time was umbreon and flareon, and it was extremely derivative of the looney tunes show.

jests aside, MY EDDS WORLD

im actually really into a lot of tomskas undeveloped/fumbled ideas. the red leader? i like it! i want to go into it!

i would love to add more depth, detail, plot...i think id do silly episodic universes, like vamp hunter tom, zombeh stuff, more alt universes like saloonatics/ellsworld, SIDE CHAR FOCUSED EPISODES EXPANDING ON THEM GIVING THEM CONCRETE STUFF (ie paul/pat, bing/larry I WOULD SOOOOO FUCK THAT UP I WOULD DESTROY HER) , noir episode, a neighbors adventure!!, make them just go out and do fucked up stuff. maybe an episode like, pursuing an enigmatic foe with increasing drama revealed to be tord but that diffuses the tension totally on purpose and edds like OHHH its ok its the baddest bitch. and toms like i think hes trying to kill anyone who stands in his way on his road to the top! and matts like i think his choice of lair carpeting is atrocious! and edds like HAHA thats my bad bitch <3

i want tordedd king/knight constant competition adorationobsessionhatred real so bad

i would never do the end. that shit is so bad. its just rotten. sorry tomska. no "tord return" no "giant robot" no "tom kicked out" whatever the hell. oh my gawd.

poweredd is cool ill keep poweredd. except monster tom and eduardos stupid second place trauma. fun dead.

id like to think i would write the characters. better. not legacy tom or legacy matt. hopefully.

theres just such a tonal issue with legacy, where like baby-level events are tragedies. i...really would seek to avoid that.

[cyantt-does-stuff]

This entire AU was inspired by @adxrnunofficial's Zombeh-Edd.

Apocalypses happen quite often. The Red Army is fighting against horde after horde. Tord comes back for his robot, extra firepower, but it turns out his old friend Edd has been lurking around the house as a zombie. Strangely, Edd doesn't appear hostile. In fact, he grows attached to Tord. Even stranger, Edd is quite competent for a zombeh. This makes way for some wacky misadventure as the pair try and survive the undead infested town. And maybe Edd isn't the only one who gets attached...

[bogwaterparasite]

Could you please do 2004 Tord x reader, pls? He's my comfort character x(

(btw, pls make him as an adult if ur comfy with that! The TeenTord headcanon makes me uncomfortable x(

(not forced!)

Hello why of course!! I’m gonna be completely honest, last I watched Eddsworld was back in 2014?? So my interpretation might not be the best 🙏🙏 either way I hope you enjoy!!!

Pairing : 2004Tord x Reader

CW : none

Wc : 639 (wow so short)

A/N : I actually quite enjoyed this one? Im writing this at night and I didn’t have much of an idea of what else to do/ where to take it, but lowkey I can see it possibly becoming an actual story rather than a one shot. Who knows, maybe if I’m feeling inspired I’ll make it into a series

Sypnosis : You’re a mechanic working late one night when someone bursts into your workshop

-ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

The fluorescent lights flickered overhead, casting long shadows across the cluttered garage. It was well past midnight, one of those rare moments when the world seemed to pause, allowing you a precious slice of personal time. Your own projects—the ones that never made it to the top of the priority list—were finally getting some attention.

Being a mechanic wasn't just a job; it was a calling. Each day brought a wild mixture of characters: stubborn old men who looked at you with skeptical eyes, convinced that youth equated to incompetence; entitled customers who argued over every dollar; self-proclaimed experts who believed YouTube tutorials made them equivalent to professional technicians. You'd seen it all—or so you thought.

The sudden crash of the workshop door made you jump, your wrench clattering against the concrete floor. A lanky figure burst in, light brown hair slightly disheveled, eyes wild with an intensity that immediately set your internal alarms ringing. Your gaze shifted towards the window, the LED sign with the words “Open” was shut off.. there was no way he actually thought the shop was open.

Before you even had the chance to protest, to tell him that right now you weren’t under working hours, blueprints exploded across your workspace like a paper hurricane, accompanied by several heavy metal boxes that looked like they'd been "borrowed" from somewhere decidedly official. Immediately, your eyebrows furrowed in confusion, who the hell was this lunatic?

You didn’t have much time to question his theatrics as he soon began to explain his plan. Something about a robot.. approximately 10 meters tall? Looking down at the prints on your desk you weren’t able to tell if this was just some geeky fascination or something that you should genuinely be worried about. Regardless, it was something way out of your budget and league. Despite your interest and knowledge on cars, you weren’t so sure it applied to.. this..

"Look man, I dunno…" you started, your voice wavering between professional skepticism and genuine confusion. "I'm a mechanic, not a manufacturer. A twenty- thirty.. something foot robot? That's way beyond the standard automotive repair."

The stranger—dressed in a vibrant red hoodie that seemed almost too casual for the plans now scattered before you—let out a low chuckle. It was the kind of laugh that suggested he knew exactly how ridiculous this all seemed, and yet, didn't seem to care one bit.

"Not asking for mass production," he said, his accent carrying a hint of something Nordic—Norwegian, maybe? "Just one. Perfect prototype. Think of it as... a special order." His hands remained casually stuffed in his hoodie pockets, but there was nothing casual about the calculation behind his eyes.

The blueprints were meticulously detailed. Intricate mechanical designs intertwined with what looked like weaponry specifications. It was.. almost scary, how someone as simple as he looked was able to acquire such things, ones of such magnitude to say the least. This wasn't just a robot; this was something more. Something potentially dangerous.

"Split the profits," he continued, watching you carefully. "Fifty-fifty. All I need is your technical expertise and this workspace for a few weeks."

Something told you this was more than a simple business proposition. The boxes of materials, the precise blueprints, the way he'd so easily found his way into a private workshop, everything screamed of a deeper, more complex story.

And yet, a part of you was intrigued. Curiosity had always been your weakness, and this stranger had just presented a puzzle too compelling to dismiss.

"Who are you?" you found yourself asking, knowing the answer would likely raise more questions than it would resolve.

The smile that crossed his face was equal parts charming and dangerous—the smile of someone who knew exactly how this conversation would end, even if you didn't.

“My name is Tord, What about you, Stranger?”

[anything-that-isnt-nails]

Uhhh Kryptonite AU? I guess?

Never really expected to actually have enough (non self-insert) AU ideas to actually write any of them down but I’m actually lowkey kind of proud of this. So uh here it is!! This entire thing is inspired by the song Kryptonite by 3 doors down which I heard and went ‘oh I remember this song. I wonder if I could PowerEdd AU this song’. And OH BOY CAN I!! It’s 3AM when I’m writing this in my notes app and apparently I have a lot of ideas.

This sat in my notes app for weeks until I mentioned it on @minkshame ‘s post (as they also had it on the love square playlist) and she said they wanted to see it! So thanks for giving me the push to actually put it out there! (Side note omg cool eddsworld person noticed me? Be cool, be cool. Uhhhhhh Spare Changes is really really good I love it). AU ideas under the cut because it’s kind of long! Featuring cliche lyric inserts because I can! I think this could be viewed as romantic or platonic EddTord. Had romance more in mind but sometimes you do have that absolutely insane bond with a best friend yknow? Attraction is weird. Anyway here goes!

So Future AU with Tord as Red Leader. Edd, as PowerEdd, has been the figurehead of the rebellion against the Red Army ever since he made his first appearance. No one watching him knows that this hero-villain rivalry is a lot more… personal.

After all, I knew it had to be something to do with you

When the Red Army was first making moves, Edd knew that Tord was behind it, and despite the giant robot incident still felt fairly conflicted about facing his ‘old friend’. He was tentatively okay with just pretending that Tord hadn’t existed after the robot incident, and his resurfacing led to the resurfacing of …feelings that Edd didn’t really know what to do with. Edd is able to put his feelings aside when fighting against Tord’s army mainly because he knows everyone else is suffering (and he needs his cola).

PowerEdd succeeds in defeating Red Leader… or at least in taking him down. The regime collapses when its leader suddenly goes missing after the destruction of Red Leader’s flagship combat robot. PowerEdd is largely viewed as responsible for this, and is even more of a hero than he already was to the rebellion. But what no one saw was PowerEdd pulling Tord from the wreckage of his robot, dragging him down to the one resistance base only he knew the location of, and trying to patch him up as best as he can.

Tord, of course, is baffled. Why is Edd, who he has been fighting against for the past however long, nursing him back to health? He’s don’t all this shit to him, to them, and Edd is at his side?! The radiation must have driven him crazy, because he certainly doesn’t deserve this. But he had to admit that it was nice being able to talk to Edd again. He hadn’t had someone talk to him as an equal since he became Red Leader, and certainly no one had taken care of him before. Of course, Tord tries to figure out a way to get back into power, but keeps getting distracted by Edd and his constant worrying.

Edd… Edd doesn’t know what he’s doing. Tord has tried to kill him and his friends multiple times, and may have succeeded, since Matt and Tom, originally serving under Tord, vanished some time before Tord was defeated (I’ll be honest I don’t know what to do with Matt and Tom here, but I think having them absent in some way would explain Edd’s mental state. Does Tord know what happened to them? Maybe, but he’s not telling). By all logic Edd should have blasted Tord away along with his robot. But some bizarre part of him is holding onto the hope that if he could just talk to Tord, just get through to him, they could reconcile and find Tom and Matt and things would be like old times. The past few months of battle had almost felt familiar to him, and if Tord felt that too, then maybe they could stay together this time. Maybe the radiation did make him nuts.

I really don’t mind what happens, now and then/As long as you’ll be my friend at the end

After the initial celebration after the downfall of the Red Army, the public realizes that Red Leader himself is still at large. Practical minds are alarmed at a dictator roaming free, while the rest of the public is angrier. To them, the regime only truly ends with Red Leader dead. PowerEdd, as the last person to see Red Leader alive, comes under a bit of scrutiny, but is mostly able to keep it under control. That is, until he’s spotted with Tord in civilian form after a badly-planned attempt to get him to a real doctor. Faced with the leftover weapons of the Red Army in the hands of new governments, Edd has no choice but to use his powers to get Tord (and himself, he supposes) back to safety.

If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?

The public is outraged. Betrayed. Their hero, harboring the Red Leader? What had PowerEdd been fighting for? Hadn’t he saved lives? Had he been working for the Red Army the whole time? PowerEdd goes from beloved to hated in a very short time. Any appearances he makes, even doing the most stock-standard heroic things like saving people from a burning building, are met with scorn. Edd isn’t sure anymore if he’s the hero they need, but he’s certainly not the one they want.

Edd and Tord have run-ins with the law and the public more than once after this initial incident. Each time, Edd is fiercely protective of Tord, even as Tord regains his strength and is capable of defending himself. Tord has to admit that it’s nice having someone protect him of their own volition rather than because they’re following orders. Edd still doesn’t know why he’s doing this. Isn’t he supposed to be the hero? Surely this goes against everything he’s been doing up until this point? Tord is Edd’s personal Kryptonite, and the rest of the world is just going to have to deal with it.

I keep you by my side with my superhuman might, Kryptonite

And that’s about it!! I have no idea what I’d ever do with this AU considering I like cannot draw and haven’t written a fanfic since middle school but I felt like this was an actually cool idea that I wanted to put out in the world in some form!! At the very least maybe now you have something to think about if you ever listen to Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down. Great song btw.

[lucidastrophile]

eddsworld doodles but it's just tom and tord because i think they need to be studied under a microscope or something

+ them together (i love their dynamic. what’s wrong with them.) (under the cut bc it’s kinda tomtord)

++ me comparing tord to asuka because *i* think i'm funny (i mean think about it. they're both red. they both piloted a giant robot. they both got impaled by a spear while piloting said giant robot. basically the same!)

+++ my sona
