#every day i hate being an eddsworld fan more and more

[critter-screams-into-the-void]

Guhh!! Saw your recent post explaining the whole “the world is edd” being ableist, and sorry if this sounds rude btw!! But! It’s kind of a normal human reaction, he was alone and going literally insane takes less than a few days if you’re alone. Humans were never made to be completely alone. It’s a natural reaction to..like make stuff seem like people out of objects that resemble let’s say close friends. It’s a way for your mind to keep itself sane for just a bit longer, hence why the sock puppets. He could use those as a temporary solution to at least talk to someone, anyone, pretending they’re real to cope. Yet ofc that isn’t a permanent solution, hence why he went insane to the point ending it all./vlh

trying to make psychosis come off as scary for shock value humor is bad actually

Ok I was originally gonna write how I wanna go back to Eddsworld and do stuff for it again but felt out of the loop with the modern fandom and shit but ended up being a rant about how I hate Beyond so like gonna write this again but keeping part of the rant cause i need to share how much i cant stand Beyond again

So like I wanna come back to Eddsworld cause as much as it was a dumpster fire for me it was my first real fandom I was apart of online so it holds a place in my heart. I mean probably technically whatever I did on Framecast was my first ever online fandom space but shhhh that dont count i was but a wondering traveler looking for my place in the world. It actually got me into Eddsworld someone made a animation to Youth by Daughter and had me hooked. But still was very important to me and my art development.

Its so crazy to me cause i was into Eddsworld HARD in the 2016-2020 era where alot of the ig modern fandom was born i watched cities fall and crumble I was deep in the amino trenches, Pork Sodaing and seeing so much historical fandom events happen before your eyes. I was watching everyone consume every piece of Prince of Mints and Moho art I was a sucker for them which probably wasn’t okay for like a 5th grader but i definitely turned out all right /j.

I left for a little bit on and off cause Hetalia was choking me and like keeping me prisoner but like it still had a place in my heart for it but like ya know i still was there but idk now I just dont find the same spark anymore from the first go around. Something changed and maybe cause i just had my tastes change and maybe cause my ex-best friend was making fun of my oc all the time but i made him when i was like 11 and figuring out identities and ways to express yourself without sticking to the gender norms and dealing with alot of stuff at the time i finally caved and just didn’t feel the same any anymore about the show.

Cause I loved that fandom more than anything but, I don’t know I just don’t know how to get back that spark and go frolic in the fields with my TomTordOc love triangle of my 5th grader dreams and just be cringe and free and feel joy again but I just cant enjoy the material anymore like THEY ARE MASSACRING MY BOYS WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO THEMM

It doesn’t hit the same and i know i dont need to consume Beyond i doubt anyone actually does at this point but i cant stand beside while they murder everything i loved about the Classic and Legacy eras.

Also just, I think I hit a road block with it too like, I got stuck on where to do and what to do with Eddsworld like. I make aus i made ocs i made a ask blog i made animatics, now what? And like idk i felt weird and like stuck in the mud with them. Also just had the friend falling out who was also the co-creator of the ask blog so now i dont know how to pick it back up all by myself again but them again i really was just doing it by myself all the time anyway so i just have to figure out how to get back into the swing of things

I have some ideas for aus and maybe just finally be free and bring my oc back from the grave for realsies and make you all consume it but, I don’t know. Im scared to come back cause also weirdly alot of the new fans are younger than me or the older fans are older than me so its kinda awkward, also im just awkward im scared to talk to people online, there is and were some people i desperately wanted to be friends with both in and out of Eddsworld but im too scared and either just watch from afar or abuse the Anonymous function in ask boxes. 

If i cave enough i might come back to Eddsworld to at least finish my lore for the ask blog cause IM SORRY I LEFT YALL HANGING I HAD SCHOOL AND THEN JUST FORGOT ABOUT IT but forever haunted by the people who like every single post and then i get excited cause i see like 99+ notes waiting for me and i think one of my new posts blew up but no its just the ew boys who screw around likes and reblog and the occasional comment

One day ill return to my rightful birthplace and one day I shall be free and one with nature and draw as much as I want for it and as many ocs i want without someone telling me its cringe or make more for the ask blog or hell start doing animation and animatics again

Ok here is the Beyond rant now if you wanna read it

I feel the difference between Beyond and Legacy is that, Beyond is trying to horriblycopy their older brothers Classic and Legacy and almost dumb it down a bit with more childish humor, and Legacy takes inspiration from Classic: It’s different but a natural difference/evolution. Or the fact a whole new guy was writing it all with a slightly different style so he wrote what he knew idk maybe a bit of a factor idk

Also i cant stand the Tord bait sorry I cant, especially when they used to like get annoyed by the fandom by asking and then just realized he was a cash cow so like now we get Tord merch and the hints and Tori and the skit with the cavemen like OMG TORD- and he got crushed by a rock thanks gang, cause like dude I think as much as we love Tord like maybe this go around respect Larson’s choice to like not use him in the series anymore and take him out but like ig that doesn’t apply to merch so yeah lets do one more go around bring out the red one. Or idk maybe they contacted him and was like “yo dude can we like use him for merch” but i dont think that happened. I think it was just better to leave him absent from the show and be like “yeah no Tord guys, no Tord” and we could have all had our thumbs up and be like “Ok Eddsworld Beyond we are okay with that”. Like I know Red October was for charity but idk it still felt weird to use Tord, like could this really not have just been the main 3 or like bring in some deep cut old characters or side characters did we really need Tord here.

@the-resurrection-3d You want hot takes? Take people’s correct personalities based off of what they ship out of the main four.

TomTord: Ruins and The End (Parts One and Two) are your highly focussed on Eddisodes. You hate Matt or find him annoying and forgot Edd was a character for some reason.

You’re also a Homestuck fan and thought Kismesis was the best interaction there could be, thus you ship EriSol.

EddTord: They moved in together first, it’s a long standing love. You Hate TomTord. Can’t stand it. However EddTord is amazing, Edd and Tord’s chemistry is really good. They’re good friends. Your favourite Eddisodes are Dudette Next Door, and Zombeh Attack 2. Mostly you enjoy the ones focussing only on Edd and Tord. Matt’s okay, but not enough to include. Tom’s a drunk dick.

Likely you’ve enjoyed media like She-Ra, and like love > evil tropes. Of course only when the villain isn’t a mass murderer.

EddTom: Guys. Guys. I get it. We’re in the chill dudes club. Two boys in a hot tub, talking about bullshit. Y’all are probably stoners or just chill. You’ve never touched fandom discourse, you don’t want to. Ruined left a bad taste in your mouth and you felt bad during The End. You think Tom’s hatred for Christmas is valid but support Edd in fighting his anti-Christmas shenanigans. Tord Eddsworld either never existed, or you ship TordMatt.

Your favourite vine is, “two guys chilling in a hot tub” and you’d belt it out to Primadonna girl.

EddMatt: You’re a secret TomTord shipper, or you have the biggest fucking sweet tooth. 700K+ slow burn coffee AU’s are your jam. You’ve cried at every Disney movie and your dream is to own a shit ton of whatever animal you define as cute. You’ve rewritten canon eight hundred times, and likely have made most of the stand alone Edd fanart in the fandom, along with EddTord shippers.

No one knows anything about you, you just showed up one day and now you’re the talk of the town. You’re also the most likely to leave due to fandom drama.

TordMatt: You have replayed the scene between Matt being punched by Tord 1000 times. Tord’s not only your favourite character, but you also don’t like Tom. You’re a sucker for redemption AU’s and highschool sweethearts. It’s a mullet not horns, you cry out into the dark.

Pastel Tord is a nightmare and you’ve vowed to kill anyone who makes it again. Pastel Matt is canon and anyone who argues is wrong. Zombeh Attack is a wonderful contribution to the world.

TomMatt: You love angst and are a verified monsterfucker. Vampires, Demons, Monsters, Zombies? All your favourite genres. You have a high appreciation for Matt, and Tord is a gremlin that needs to be locked away before he gets into your pantry. Due to lack of content in the fandom and not being a creator yourself, you’ve gravitated towards other ships.

You’re most likely to ship Polyworld. Space Face, Fun Dead and PowerEdd have half their views because of you. These background dorks are too much.

Polyworld: Tord’s a Rat Bastard, the end isn’t canon and no one can tell you otherwise. You’re avidly loving the trio. 20,000 ft under the seat to Saloonatics are your list of favs.

You’re a multi shipper, but with standards!

Polyworld + Tord: Tord’s a Rat Bastard, the End DEFINITELY isn’t canon, and that wasn’t Tord but a spares clone. You want nothing more than the cuddle the main crew and love them.

You’re a Multishipper, but Legacy means nothing to you and Matt’s not a complete dumbass.

((This is a joke.))
