#broedd

First real edit made on my computer and using a new editing program because capcut greedy.

- The first character I first fell in love with: 

Hmm… I think I instantly fell in love with all the Ed’s. They were each unique in their own way and I love to analyze their character backstories

- The character I never expected to love as much as I do now:

Eddy. Two years ago when I came back into this fandom I finally understood what Eddy went through the whole series. He was hiding his true self. I used to despise Eddy because he was hot headed and could be cruel to his friends. I love his character!

- The character everyone else loves that I don’t: 

People love Kevin because he’s the ‘cool’ jock boy. Kevin is a bully. I despise bullies. The character who Kevin represses makes a good analysis. 

- The character I used to love but don’t any longer:

Hmm… I think I still like all the characters.

- The character I would totally smooch: 

Double Dee

- The character I’d want to be like: 

Honestly, Nazz. She’s a really cool character. The writers may not have written their character so well, but once you analyze who she is she is really cool. Nazz looks out for everyone and tries to bring the cul-de-sac together in harmony.

- A Character I want to slap:

Kevin. Thankfully, Nazz does it for me.

- A pairing that I love:

Do I even have to say it? EddEddy!

- A pairing that I despise:

… This feels like a trick question XD. ‘Who does Starryoak, the person who has managed to turn at least half or more of these questions into something Eddeddy related, regardless of the actual amount of Eddeddy in the question if any was present, ship with Edd?’ I will answer in a series of images, because  this…

Does that answer your question?

The answer is Eddy. It has literally always been Eddy, even when I was a freaking kid, the answer was ‘I think Double D likes Eddy and they’d be cute together’. But anyway, it’s a ship rooted heavily in canon to the point where storyboard artists shipped it, where Danny Antonucci likes pictures of Eddeddy posted in places, it’s just… The team ships it. So do I.

The reasons I ship it include; goddamnit it would be adorable, which factors into all of my shippings, honestly, but that’s the least of it. The two have so much canonical evidence towards an attraction towards one another that even Ed ships it. Everybody ships it; Kevin chose to make Eddy kiss Edd as a dare, even though making him kiss Ed would have been way more unpleasant, there’s gotta be a reason, he later asks if they’re getting married upon seeing a banner and then, teasing or not, he knows, even the paragon of awful that Eddy’s brother automatically makes the assumption that Edd is Eddy’s girlfriend. Everyone knows.

The two bounce off one another incredibly well, with Eddy absolutely needing that grounding force of ‘No, Eddy, don’t’ and other such ‘no that is a bad idea Eddy stop’, but not just that.. Emotional support, genuine caring, being able to say the hings he needs to hear… and Edd honestly needs friends, any good friends, and Eddy, for all his… Eddy, is a good friend. And Eddy provides Edd with a lot of adventure, which isn’t a bad thing at all; Edd needs something to break down his rigid rule-based life, and Eddy does that. I don’t know how to articulate the whole thing, but I do know that someone else probably will. So um, I’ll just go with ‘it’s goddamn adorable and perfect’ and leave it at that.

Kevedd and Broedd. Definitely. I’m sorry, but… um… no. No offense to people who ship it, I mean, I’d hate to be that one person who tells people what they can ship or what they can’t, but… no. Just… no. Kevedd just has no basis in…. I don’t even understand it. I can’t explain it, I don’t get it at all; he called him ‘my dork’ once as a possessive or something and now it’s a thing? I probably wouldn’t be so against it if it didn’t make finding Eddeddy so goddamn hard over here. It just highlights the issues with it, especially that Kevin is kind of implied to know Eddeddy is a thing, along with not being a very good person to the Eds.

Yep, here’s the new update of my old BroEdd fic!

Read the author’s notes if you want to know why I was so late and stuff (well, at least I’m in time for eddy’s brother appreciation month)

“A yaoi thing”, she says as if I haven’t been into yaoi since middle school. :P

But, no. I 100% agree. It’s actually a big reason that *I* ship Broedd because I like that particular trope myself….in het, as well as yaoi ships.

But, that kind of goes back to what I was saying about it being more asthetically pleasing. In most yaois, the seme is typically older, stronger, taller, and in some cases more buff than the uke. In fact, even in doujinshi of established works, they follow this format.

Ok, I’m going to use Dragon Ball because besides EEnE and maybe Cats the musical, it’s the only thing I’m into enough to actually explore characters and shipping.

Goku and Vegeta is probably the number 1 yaoi couple that people ship in the show (with pretty good reason I might add). In the show, Vegeta is indeed shorter, a bit thinner and weaker than Goku,  but not by a huge margin. In fanworks, however, his weakness and physique are exaggerated (sometimes greatly) to more fit into the mold of the “seme/uke” trope. Doujinshi a lot of times drastically changes Vegeta appearance so that he looks a lot more demure to Goku than he actually is.

A really good example of this is Goten/Trunks, another popular couple. Now, usually Trunks is Seme (older/mildly stronger), however, I’ve seen some doujinshi where Goten is Seme and they make him much taller and more muscular than Trunks, even though canonically, they are the just about the exact same size and strength. And Trunks, or Vegeta,*(or whoever is uke in the particular work) are usually drawn more slender and feminine (sometimes to the point where it appears they have breasts). I know you mentioned about a lot of times in seme/uke, people use one as a surrogate female, which is 100% true.

So, Broedd definitely fits into the whole seme/uke trope, a lot better than Broed. While Ed is smaller and younger than Bro, Edd definitely fits the bill a lot better.

He’s way smaller, way thinner, younger, and a bit androgynous (again, apparently…), and definitely a lot more submissive.

I….hope in my last answer, I didn’t come across as “this is right; you’re wrong” and that’s the reason for this ask. I REALLY hope that isn’t how I came across and if I did, I am SUPER sorry that wasn’t my intent.

I just wanted to explain MY personal reasoning behind it and to be as thorough as possible since most of the times, if you even mention Broed, you get a really funny look….I’m assuming. At the very least, most people don’t GET it, so I just wanted to REALLY explain why.
