What the sigma

[greetingsfromuranus]

Eddy kisses Double D and is like "waow he is incredibly soft and warm" then he kisses Ed and is like "this is kinda gross but I'm digging it and man he has a strong grip gee whiz" then he sees Ed kiss Edd and he's like "wow....... the world is a beautiful place"

Then they all lived happily ever after The End

[astroprinc3]

hey everyone random question— does anyone know why edt3 (name of the poly ship between the eds) is named that? i’ve been searching and i can’t find an answer

edit: i know what it means now it’s “ed times 3” and i feel stupid 🧍‍♀️

[erinelliotc]

Why do you ship EddEddy when in canon we have the very harmonic friendship of Eds? What's interesting about the dynamic between Edd and Eddy, if Ed isn't there, it's pretty boring without him.

I'll talk about this in much more detail after I rewatch the show a few more times and make my video talking about EddEddy, BUT here's some of what I have to say about it:

Yes! I agree that they have a very harmonious friendship, all of them together. They're soulmates and they love each other very much. I really envy what they have because it's something so perfect and beautiful. The show is about Ed, Edd and Eddy, but I think it's very clear that:

1) Eddy's the main character

2) The show focuses more on his relationship with Double D, especially from season 5 onwards

They work well both as the three together and as separate duos too. Each duo has a different dynamic, and from my perspective, Double D and Eddy have a dynamic that involves mutual romantic feelings (that they're not yet aware of), which I don't see between Ed and Double D or Ed and Eddy. To be more clear, it seems to me that Ed has or may have a crush on Double D and Eddy (there are a number of scenes that indicate this), but I don't see them reciprocating, feeling the same way about him. And believe me, I really wanted to ship them. I love polyamorous relationships (Anne, Sasha and Marcy from Amphibia are a great example, I think the three of them have a clear interest in each other), I love edt3 fanarts, I think they're cute together, BUT I just can't see them working together as a polyamorous couple because I don't see Double D or Eddy being romantically interested in Ed at any point of the show or even in the future because it doesn't seem to be heading in that direction (I think that in Big Picture Show it even becomes a little uncomfortable how much Eddy specifically refers to Double D even when Ed is with them, which already happened in other moments of the show (and Double D specifically referring to Eddy as well) and intensified in the movie, but it's another factor that seems to indicate how emotionally close the two are, in a way beyond friendship...).

I want to make it clear that I disagree with the view that romance is more important than friendship. I don't think boyfriends/girlfriends/romantic partners or love interests are above friends, they're just different equally important dynamics. When I talk about this, I don't mean in any way that Double D and Eddy's relationship is better or more important, or that Ed is less important to them or less loved by them, they're just relationships and feelings with different natures and ways of functioning. So please don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that Double and Eddy like each other more than they like Ed, I'm just saying they have a different dynamic and type of relationship, and different types of relationship usually mean different ways of interacting, and usually romantic relationships imply on more intimacy (both physical and emotional), and that's what I see happening with Double D and Eddy. There are certainly things in the relationship between Ed and Double D that Double D doesn't or can't have with Eddy, and things in the relationship between Ed and Eddy that Eddy doesn't or can't have with Double D. As I said, each duo has their own dynamic, their own unique and exclusive specificities that they can't get with their other duo, and all three love each other deeply and equally, just in different ways. That's all.

To me, Double D and Ed's relationship follows more of a mother-son dynamic (sometimes brotherly too), and Ed and Eddy have a more brotherly dynamic (@gettingfrilly made a really good post talking about it in more detail, about how Eddy's like a younger brother to Ed because he's very much like Sarah but unlike her he shows that he likes Ed and has fun with him, and how Ed's like the supportive and affectionate big brother that Eddy didn't have). I think the show makes it very clear that Double D and Eddy are supposed to have a couple dynamic, whether as a joke/comic relief or in a serious way. It's very visible to me that their relationship is supposed to give this huge old married couple who always disagree and fight energy, and even Ed often seems to look at them as if he's finding their excessive closeness strange, either shipping them or wanting to participate too.

Someone pointed it out already, but I think it's very relevant to note that the only times Eddy cries throughout the entire show is because of or related to Double D (I'm talking about emotional crying, not crying from physical pain). @gettingfrilly also made another post that I really like and completely agree with about Eddy and empathy. I recommend reading it. Anyway, Eddy's not a very emotional character at all because as we know, he's always trying to repress the feelings that make him "fragile" and to imitate his brother. He tries to act cool, to be superior and better than everyone, to be very manly, so he can't cry, he can't be a sissy, he can't be sensitive, vulnerable and emotional, he has to be tough, he has to be a man, he has to be unbreakable and unbeatable, he has to be self-centered, he can't be compassionate, empathetic and caring, and I personally think that in the end, whether we like it or not, he ends up absorbing all of this into his personality because that's how he was raised and conditioned from a very early age, and that's how he coped with it, so being self-centered and feeling uncomfortable dealing with and showing these types of emotions is now part of Eddy's personality, even though he doesn't feel good about being that way. He's spent most of his life having this distorted perception that acting like this is the normal way to be and treat others, that acting like this is "cool" because it's how his beloved, precious brother acted, so it's very complicated for Eddy to deconstruct this within himself now, and in fact it's already a bit late to actually change this because his personality has already been shaped and built, and all he can do now is remind himself to be more sensitive and care more about others. Being kind and empathetic is not something that comes naturally or easily to him, but rather a task he needs to rationalize and remember to do, and even in the few moments when he shows that he at least cares about Ed and Double D, his way of expressing affection usually comes in the form of practical actions rather than affectionate words, so sometimes it can seem like he doesn't care when he actually does, or that he has a very cold, insensitive and crude way of showing affection. It's necessary to teach him the way friends act toward each other, teach him about acting with affection and love. He needs people, most of the time Double D, to tell him how and why what he did is bad and harmful to others, but there are many moments when you can see a genuine effort on his part to try to understand, improve and show that it wasn't his intention to cause any harm, after all, this only makes others dislike him, and he doesn't want that. Eddy's desperate for acceptance and being liked by everyone, which conflicts with his "I don't give a shit about anyone but myself" way of being and acting, and being the way he is keeps everyone away from him and makes them not like him, so he suffers a lot being in this limbo between "I don't care about others" and "everyone has to like me".

Anywaaay, back to the main topic: the fact that the only times this character who struggles so much with all of this cried had something to do with Double D says a lot about how intimate he feels with him. Double D and Eddy seem to share a very strong emotional as well as physical intimacy. Sure, it's part of the show that the characters in general have a lot of physical contact, so it's something a little difficult to analyze, BUT the impression I have is that Double D and Eddy still have more scenes with physical contact, and their type of physical contact also seems more intimate to me, more romantic... (I mean, just watch the final scene of BPS of them holding hands looking into each other's eyes. It's pretty obvious).

The person also pointed out how emotionally attached Eddy is to Double D, and that's so true. Double D messes with Eddy's emotions in a very interesting way. He "messes up" everything that Eddy learned as his truth and that was established, awakens many things in Eddy, brings out the best side of him making him have to think and reflect more about things, people and the impact of his actions. Despite also having a lot to learn and improve, Double D has a lot of emotional maturity and responsibility and tends to have a very careful and kind way of dealing with people. Although this way of him being what Eddy understands as "sissy" and is often the target of his mockery or he even appears angry when Double D acts like this, Eddy can't help but feel embraced and comfortable with Double D's affection, sensitivity and support in a way he seems to have never felt before considering his history with his brother and his difficulties and cluelessness about affection and love. Yes, Ed's also a very affectionate person, I'd say even more than Double D. They both like to express affection physically, but while Ed's more like a clingy, happy child or puppy with lots of love to give (mainly physical) and silly things to say and do to put a smile on people's faces to make them feel better, Double D has a more "therapist" and "maternal" side. He's very conscious and attentive, he takes care of people, provides support and a safe space, analyzes situations and tries to help with understanding, counseling and kind words. All this almost unnatural excess of kindness and support is something that Eddy is definitely not used to and finds very strange, but it makes him feel good without him realizing it, as throughout the show we see him frequently turning to Double D when he feels lost, confused, frustrated or scared, as if he sees Double D as a great source of emotional support to help him feel better and get back on track, and as his guide to better understand situations and solve problems. Obviously this isn't something exclusive to couples, but this type of dynamic indicates a very great intimacy and is usually more characteristic of romantic relationships, being another factor that makes their relationship seem to tend more toward romance.

There are many other things, but I prefer to save them for when I make my EddEddy video.

"What's interesting about the dynamic between Edd and Eddy"

Wow I really like this subject because to me this is one of the biggest reasons why they have so much chemistry and are so good together and to each other. I don't want to talk about this in much detail because I want to save that for my video, but basically: Double D and Eddy have some very opposite traits that complement each other, and they have a lot of growth and character development because of their differences interacting together. The show focuses on their relationship because their character development mostly depends on each other. Double D is good where Eddy has to grow and mature, and Eddy is good where Double D has to grow and mature. They have so much to offer and teach each other, and that's what they do by living together daily for years. They unintentionally learn from each other and help each other improve and work on their bad aspects/tendencies, and achieve greater balance in their personalities and behaviors, helping each other not to lean too much in one direction and too little in the other. I think that many of the things they both hate about each other are actually things they deep down admire and even envy about each other (Eddy gets angry and mocks when Double D is smart and uses his extensive vocabulary, but in "Once Upon an Ed" he makes it very clear how he'd like to be smart and use "fancy words" like him, or even be smarter than him, because Double D's intelligence actually makes him feel inferior and dumb. And Double D complains about Eddy's stubbornness but shows that he feels uncomfortable with his own lack of attitude and that he'd like to be more determined, less of a people pleaser and stand up for himself more like Eddy, in addition to him seeming to try to imitate Eddy in many moments, acting with Eddy in a similar way to how Eddy acts with him). The answer is to balance their qualities and flaws, because they complement each other perfectly. And as many say, Ed is the glue that keeps the trio together. He's a crucial piece in their group. In fact, they all are, each of them plays a very important role. @gettingfrilly made another great post (I'm starting to realize how we share similar thoughts xD) about what happens if each duo doesn't have their third Ed. Please read it because I couldn't put it in better words.

Well, as I said before, the three Eds love each other intensely and equally, just in different ways. Even though Double D and Eddy have a romantic relationship, they all need each other and don't function well forever as just the two of them. They work well separately, but just in the short term, as something momentary. They are meant to be a trio and this is how they truly reach their full potential.

Ed Edd n Eddy are unintentionally the greatest poly throuple the world has ever seen.

why do you think they’re in jail?

probably another scam

Title: Edtide, Chapter Fourteen Fandom: Ed, Edd n Eddy Ship: Can be read as Edt3 or affectionate gen Word Count: 100 Rating: G Summary: Post-series. Eds as roommates or more, as you please. A series of mostly winter-themed Eds drabbles for Twelvetide 2022. A/N: For the prompt “pajamas”!

Chapters: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

.

Eddy snorts awake, heart racing, to the feeling of a noose tightening around his neck but quickly settles when he realizes that it's just the collar of his pajamas. He yanks at it and pulls the top button open-- seriously, it's no wonder he hardly ever wears these things.

He adjusts positions for good measure, making Ed and Double Dee murmur protests in their sleep as they adjust around him. It's no wonder either that his collar pulled so tight, the way they're all tangled together.

Settling back into their embrace, Eddy is asleep again before he can even complain.

I already made a post talking about this but I'm happy that more people think pretty much like me on this subject. Again, I think edt3 is a really cute ship and I love fanarts of it, I love polyamorous relationships BUT I can't see it really working specifically for them, I can't see Double D or Eddy liking Ed romantically.

And to me EddEddy is so perfectly constructed (even if not intentionally at first, but the fact that it happened so naturally and spontaneously only makes it better) and almost canon that any other ship involving the two doesn't feel right.

for the ship ask, you got any thoughts about edt3??

I’m not keen on polyshipping tbh, and I can’t see the boys being into each other like that. From what I’ve seen, you need a lot of strong communication to make it work or somethn and like, idk, I can see things go south for them all very quickly. Usually when one has a fallout w/ the other, the other ed is their respite and support as a friend. Who… would they turn to if one needed to rant abt the other??? Fights could get awkward very quickly. Also, Ed doesn’t seem like Eddy’s type and vice versa. Their dynamic is like two younger twins that get into trouble a lot haha.

[mashedbootatoes]

Edt3 is real and canon

[greetingsfromuranus]

New edt3 thoughts (other than God the ship name is hard to remember):

At the beginning of their throuple, when everything's cool and new, Double D definitely has a period where he's sort of giving Ed and Eddy attention separately, but he feels too weird for any intimacy when the 3 of them are all together. Like when he's chillin with one he starts to get scared that the other will feel jealous or left out, or that he's doing something wrong by doing so - making him start to avoid the both of them and just start pacing in the other room when anyone gets too close, and the anxiety just builds and builds inside him for a while.

Eventually something happens, someone has a talk, and he's pulled out of that spiral - they get to have cute group cuddles, Double D sees Eddy and Ed interact intimately, and remembers "oh yeah they like eachother too, im not just some burden they're forced to share" and slowly starts to unlearn that feeling that he's "cheating" when he's romantically involved with more than one person

Imagine Edd getting kisses on both cheeks >////< and Ed wrapping his arms around both of them when they snuggle, or Eddy getting babied by the other Eds

[mashedbootatoes]

Idk when Ed appreciation month was but I'm gonna share my Ed , Edt3 / ededdy / edded headcanons anyway

First are the purely Ed headcanons:

Ed is autistic ( he also has ADHD but thats canon )

He's Bisexual and on the Aspectrum , he's also Nonbinary ( doesn't care how he presents )

Ed and Sarah start to patch up their relationship in late high school , Sarah becomes defiant of her mother and tries to do things for herself ( find out what she likes and expariment with things like sexuality and gender ) Ed and Jimmy support her all the way through it

Ed and Jimmy also become closer! They see eachother like brothers since Jimmy has been friends with Sarah since... basically forever

Edt3 / Ededdy / Edded hcs:

Ed will use weird pet names for the other 2 , make of that what you will

Ed is affectionate through actions , aswell as his art! He'll make drawings in his note book , even on school desks if he doesn't have anything

Ed saves Double Dees Valentines day cards- and he made himself a pocket in his coat to keep them in

Ed is very loud about his affections towards Eddy and Double Dee ( more than he was before ) there isn't a day that goes by where he doesn't atleast say " I love youuuu " to the 2

( I have alot more but that's all I can really remember )

Oh, hey, since it’s Ed Appreciation Month– any EdEddy headcanons? Or headcanons about their friendship?

[doubledyke]

What do you think of that classic topic ''Ed would be a third wheel if Edd and Eddy began to date''? I think it's really frustrating, I despise this kind of argument.

well i can see why someone might feel that way, and i do think there would be times where he would feel like a third wheel, esp in the early, more tumultuous days of edd and eddy's relationship. but that wouldn't be the norm and it's certainly not intentional or for lack of caring on edd and/or eddy's part. just because someone enters a romantic relationship doesn't mean all their other relationships fall by the wayside (hopefully not anyway cuz yikes).

i tend to view edd and eddy's romantic relationship being essentially the same as their non-romantic one, sans the adolescent violence. they still spend most of their time together, work together in decision making, squabble frequently, flirt constantly, and frankly, act as ed's keepers. my point is that i don't see their eventual dating having much of an effect on the group dynamic. hell, ed might not even know they're dating for a while. the biggest difference might be that if they ended up going separate ways for a while as they got older, edd and eddy would do so as a unit while ed goes and does whatever he needs to do on his own. and maybe now eddy lets edd touch his face. sometimes. but ed and eddy are still like brothers, roughhousing and indulging in gross-out humor and pranks, while ed and edd still have their whole parent-child thing going on.

despite my usual focus on doom, gloom and angst, i'm actually somewhat of a sap and i want the eds to be happy and stay together forever, even if it seems "unrealistic" (laugh along with me). that's why i like to imagine them all eventually living in the same house, like a reaaaaally long and annoying sleepover. i like to throw may into the mix to make things a little more interesting, but whether ed is in a relationship of his own or not, he's just as big a part of edd and eddy's lives as he ever was. they're the most important people in each other's lives, so edd and eddy playing a little grab-ass won't change that.

Hi, I read your post about EddEddy and KevEdd. I agree about the cliché, KevEdd is more fanon than EddEddy, although they are both not canon. KevEdd is more hetero like, since it comes from a yaoi manga, so maybe that why queer people like it less. But I don’t agree about the abuse, sorry, but this is far-fetched. In the fanarts and the moments between them there is a fluffy atmosphere. I myself personally began to love KevEdd while watching, since Kevin is friendly to Edd and they periodically show signs of attention each other. I was honestly surprised when I found out that it's is so popular in the fandom, because I also love EdRolf, which is not very popular. EddEddy I don’t argue more justifiably, but I can see them as friends, because friendship is to some extent stronger than love. I mean that Edd and Eddy are more like bros. I love Ed3 as brotp and I really appreciate their trio as friendship without the entanglement of romance. Sorry if it looks like an attack, I respect your opinion! Thanks again for your answer, it was interesting to read ❤️

Don't worry! It didn't come off as an attack at all.

I don't have much more to say because I don't share the same opinion, and I stand by what I said in my previous answer. I think the friendly moments between Edd and Kevin are almost non-existent, and even though EddEddy isn't exactly canon, the crew has been openly supportive and shipping it since the show was in production, and they made it look romantic on purpose, and their hand-holding moment at the end of Big Picture Show is hard not to interpret as a gift/message to the EddEddy shippers, as a confirmation that their relationship is something beyond friendship.

But I think it's understandable to focus on their friendship and see them as brotp because that's really a very important focus. The companionship and friendship of Ed, Edd and Eddy is very beautiful and touching, the show is about the 3 after all, but I see the friendship between Edd and Eddy as the foundation and first step towards their romance. I think a good romance can't exist without a good friendship to support it, and Edd and Eddy definitely have that.

But thanks for sharing your thoughts! I respect your opinion as well :) 💕

I really appreciate the general kindness in this fandom. Everyone seems open to peaceful and friendly discussions.

[itspkuwu]

(SEMI OUTDATED OPINIONS BELOW) Another reason I ship Edt3 is because when I see full on romantic art of just Eddy and Double D… it feels wrong to me. I feel upset that Ed is left out. Plus, getting rid of one of the Ed boys just ruins the whole purpose of this show. They’re called Ed, Edd n Eddy for a reason. One without the other two and two without the other one breaks the dynamic and breaks it hard. It’s not just that they have to be together, they NEED each other. That’s the genius of it. No matter what happens, the bond remains unbreakable. They don’t even have to act gay, they just unintentionally seem like it.
