MTV Making the Band (O-Town) - The Final 5 (2000)

[nintendroid]

Bittersweet memories, I have a few. Sweet for recalling a simpler time, bitter because of "the one that got away".

A girl? No...the official Ed Edd 'n Eddy stocking cap that was only ever offered through a brief Cartoon Network call-in contest.

I haven't seen this clip since I was 11. It was getting to the point where I thought I made it up but thanks to Internet Archive user bdthe2nd, I was able to reconnect with an almost forgotten part of childhood.

Some background: When I was 11 I was HEAVY into Ed Edd 'n Eddy. I loved near-everything on Cartoon Network anyways, but EEnE was the crown jewel to me and my 8-year-old brother. We quoted it, made drawings, my chat room screen names were all EEnE related in some way.

So you can imagine how pumped I was when Cartoon Network held a call-in contest where you had a chance to win Edd's (Double D to his friends) famous and mysterious stocking cap.

The other prizes were a trip to Bora Bora and an inflatable chair but I couldn't have cared less about either of those things, I wanted the hat. The prize could've been for a million dollars and I would've traded it for that stupid hat. The innocence of youth.

I imagined myself in that hat. I imagined wearing it to school and wearing it around the house in humid 99 degree mountain weather. All the girls would want to go to the school dances with me, I'd finally have the approval of my fellow classmates and my life would be perfect if I had that hat.

I called that number every Friday for two months that summer. I got to where I memorized it and developed muscle-memory from picking up my parents' cordless phone and instantly dialing the number. It was sick.

Unfortunately for me, I never got my hat. I've looked for it over the years, ready to pay an absurd price for it, but one has never surfaced on eBay.

I hear you saying...

>just buy a custom one off etsy

Its not the same and I'll never settle for a cheap imitation. Either its the real deal or nothing at all. All or nothing.

What O-Town said.

In conclusion, if you were one of the lucky ones to win this hat, I hope it made you as happy as I thought it was going to make me. Send me a picture as well, that way I know someone legit won one of these things, because I'm starting to believe they were never actually given away.

BILLDUMP TIME (with transparency, because I can). Don't mind me, I'm just yeeting my goofy art at some way more talented individuals out of nowhere and then hauling ass back to the security of being a weird silent lurker ahaha

@tesscourtes and @beccadrawsstuff, respectively! These two Bills make a little prism of sorts together because of their recent crossovers on Patreon~ :3c Speaking of which, I highly recommend supporting both these artists! They do fantastic work! (TessCourtes and Beccup)

@qoolk on the left, and @monobmp on the right! I am such a sucker for these outfits~ OuO Go and check these two out, their art is phenomenal!!! >u<

@1spooky2me The most difficult Bill of the lot for me to draw, ahaha... Their art is so incredibly consistent and dynamic, I am, a little envious <:,) A little envious, but mostly impressed, so go look at their amazing art, what are you waiting for

And finally, @ckret2, whose writing is sublimely in-character and just a delight to read - they're a great artist, as well! I simply Could Not resist drawing their Bill in this ridiculous incredible and very fashionable pink feather dress, even though he only briefly wears it in their fic, so I also did a little bonus doodle of him in his standard hoodie to make up for it. XD (Also, as far as I'm concerned, Bill and Mabel were both correct in that lime green accessories make the dress Much Better.)

This is just a small selection of the human Bill designs I enjoy. I may draw and post more later on, who knows! Feel free to reblog with some neat Bill designs, either your own or by other folks - if any of the designs particularly call to me, I'll add them to the little list I've got going~ :D (Alternatively, if you really like my stuff and want me to draw something specific, you could...mmm...perhaps, commission me...? OuO)

Also I'm tagging Billford because uhhhh yeah, sorry not sorry, every single one of these Bills is getting shipped with Ford by the artists in some way or another, lmao
