Can you PLEASE go into detail about your take on Tomatoreddâs monster form? đ Is it just all stemming from the Tom part of the clone, or do they also have some other stuff like Matt & Tordâs residual zombeh curse within them, etc?
Okay so how im reckoning with tom being possessed by a rage demon along with his clones is that we have a comic of said demon spreading memetically kinda. Which I am relieved, but let it be known a lack of evidence would not have stopped me from making redd have cool monster powers. I just would have stretched that taffy to lengths that otherwise would have gone yet unseen by mortal man if I had to.
Tomatoredd being just a single guy with supposedly âď¸ one body, so that means any and all emotional output that they have are shared amongst each other*. this can manifests as fast mood-swings or one of them taking over the front entirely depending on context, but most of the time their limbic system just chooses the mean of whats everyone is feeling.
because of this someone can feel something very strong and it can bleed into the rest of them, someone finds something funny it can be infectious if no one has any strong aversion. Matt's ego can blow up the rest of theirs, the collective horror at finding a pun edd did funny can also bleed into edd for a very confusing combination of emotions.
So in order to feel anything explosively, they would all have to be on the same page emotion wise, this includes invoking The Beast. Rage demon? Monster mode.
Some general headcanons, some of which a bit inspired by theboxfort:
The monster form is 100% emotion and thus it only comes about when they are all fucking pissed/stressed out, a team effort <3
there are stages in how cognizant they are when they are like that^ most of the time its pure white hot anger that they fully black out from.
I can imagine some circumstances that are clordclatt shaped where they are just too constantly haunches up, where physical symptoms start to display as pure stress response.
physically mostly favors where tom is represented on their body
torm, film buff tom, and scribble tom have the capability if driven to enough anger.
film buff tom however i can't really ever imagine getting to that point, but if he did he would look the most similar to tom prime compared to the rest of them.
Torm and Redd arenât 100% Tom, so they canât fully turn into a monster.
scribble tom thats just a silly little guy.
as for the zombeh curse? eh, i try my best not to over complicate things in my head, I suppose my justification is because the nature of the demon being emotion driven and the curse being emotion neutral they don't interact with each other much. doesn't mean they cant manifest at the same time though.
*say nothing of what that means when there are extreme differences in what everyone is feeling. That's where the strange bio-goop that makes up their clone bodies can start to glitch and "destabilize," and perhaps betray their 'four bodies squished together' nature. So tomatoredd can go to great lengths to make sure that doesn't happen and to continue to trick their body into thinking it's still only one body, even if that doesn't encourage the best healthy mindfulness habits (eg: letting themselves fall into a negative feedback loop because at least everyone is on the same page).
