10. What do you think is the funniest joke in the series?

Damn, that’s a GOOD question. So much so that I had look back on a couple eddisodes to make me think, but here’s my response.

I think it’s in the comics.

Not that the show doesn’t have some great jokes, but the funniest of them for me are within the comics. Specifically with Edd’s last era prior to Space Face releasing, and a little into the start of Legacy. They were how I got into Eddsworld in the first place.

A good chunk of my improvised humour was learned from Edd’s ability to make anything a visual or linguistic pun. I get more of a chuckle out of stuff such as ‘immature cheese’, ‘wrapper in my pocket’, ‘Dr Names’ and that one arc of Matt getting an honest-to-god date.

That being said, I loved seeing Tom getting spun around and yeeted by that tank in the Moviemakers montage. Also, from the end of said montage:

Laurel: I wonder what happened to all those space cats... Edd: Well, do you see that tiny speck up in the sky? Laurel: Yeah? Edd: That isn’t them. They’re dead.

Edd’s delivery of that line legit makes me crack a grin and chuckle.

17. Which Eddsworld character do you relate to the most, and why?

Again, good question.

After thinking on it a bit, I think it’d still be Edd, and not just because he’s my favourite.

In the classic era, he’s the artist/animator, the one who initiates the initiative of the episodes and is simultaneously DONE with his friends’ antics AND eggs them on further.

Sounds like my kind of guy.

(Actually, on a writer’s note, Edd taking the initiative for adventures is what I think has been missing from much of Legacy AND Beyond’s writing. He took the initiative to go to Atlantis when Matt lost the fridge keys, and when Tom bought that film camera with all their life savings, he took the initiative of making a film instead of just relying on a 2008 YouTube clickbait video Tom made. His friends started it, sure, but EDD was the one who kept saying ‘alright, let’s go get this stuff done’ AND DID IT.)

(I think I could write a whole thing on how this is really the show’s Writing Engine, and how it started to vanish circa Hammer and Fail Part Two and Space Face, but that’s another day. Or time. Or ask. Speaking of writing…)

18. If you could write an episode, what would it be about?

Oh BOY. Buckle up, I’ve got several ideas swirling in my head and I’m about to pitch them - hell, if any of you think they have standing power, hit me up and we can figure out a way to team up and make them exist!

Suction Cup Man vs Tord’s Giant Robot. It’s a more fully fleshed-out version of the voice-acting post I did for a skit a while back, and I’m unashamed to say that it’s a roughly copied plot of SCM 2 (including references to it and all).

Suction Cup Man gets captured by a mystery man from the future to take down some jerk’s giant robot in the present. Cut to The End Part Two with Tord gloating in the giant robot, and it all goes to chaos from here.

Fun fact about this one: I’ve already handwritten most of the script’s first draft, and have three different endings planned out, but I’m not sure which one would be best for the skit. They’re all good in their own ways, but whilst I had the initial idea to PrynceJJayden of twitter fame, I’m not sure if he’d be accepting of script pitches from other people at this point in time. On top of that, I don’t know if his VA talent who does Tord (@/The_Rey_Rey on twitter) would be keen to do that sort of thing too.

PowerEdd 2: The Devious Drenchings of Doctor H2O. (Formerly titled The Eddvengers, but considering there’s an AU with that name already, this seems more appropriate.)

When a freak science experiment near the antiques store strikes the lads, Edd’s superhero powers return, and this time Tom and Matt join with their own. But their enemy isn’t an evil director or an old friend, but some maniac with a drinking water tank on his head and a desire to sink London into his New Atlantis.

If the name ‘Doctor H2O’ sounds familiar to some of you, he was actually a villain character Edd Gould created! You can find an uncoloured drawing of him from Edd’s old tumblr from about 2011.

This story idea also has some meat to it - lore pages on how their powers worked, old script bits, writing ideas - with the intention of becoming an audio drama as so not to stress out animators. I still have the notebook I scrawled the idea out in from years ago, and I even had some concept art from current-day EW animator Fran Pun!

Unfortunately, as much as the more influential people behind the first attempt had resources, fame and means to make it, this one fell onto the back burner due to unclear plot beats (my fault), no scheduling (this was just a bad habit in general from said people) and one of my co-writers just… not going anywhere with it. Some jokes from him felt a little forced. Gratefully though, I still have the intro scene script somewhere in my drives, and I think it holds up. I’d love to come back to this one someday.

Miniseries: Through the Time Machine

Saloonatics had the Wild West, WTFuture gave us time travel, so what if we went back and forth in time to find our favourite lads having adventures in other points of history?

Before Penguins of Madagascar was my first fandom experience, Phineas and Ferb was my first Fan experience, even just from mostly flash games online and watching the episodes in pieces on YouTube. But what I remembered most was a miniseries of specials where the formula for the show was translated into different time periods and story genres to give a unique flavouring to the stories.

So come on, imagine: Eddsworld Caveman episode. Eddsworld pirates episode. Eddsworld Medieval episode. Even an Eddsworld Y2K Futurism… future… episode. (Look, all I’m saying is that the aesthetic could SLAP.)

treat! its him...........the tomatornator man

7. First eddisode/eddsworld video you watched?

oh god that was so long ago. I was like, 12? when I decided to take a look at the thing tomska was in after running into some obscure webseries crossover thing. So I uh, really can't pin point the exact video...It was probably either Does That Make Her Crazy?, Just A Bit Crazy, or Tom's Tales of Awesome.

8. Favourite headcanon?

Tom has eyes, they're just completely black.

I also like the one that involves Edd still retaining some effects from the radiation from PowerEdd! I think it's neat. :]

9. Favourite minor character?

Laurel! i miss her.

8. Favourite Headcanon?

Good question! I have several, but let’s go with a more obscure one.

A long time ago on Mr P. ter Voorde’s deviantart, he did a commission where the Ellsworld girls were in the US and walking away from the EW USA lads. Ell looked nervous, Matilda looked ticked off and Tamara was flipping the bird while yelling angrily at them. (To be fair, they were looking like assholes per usual.)

Logical answer? Eddsworld USA is the same universe/mirror verse as Ellsworld.

Which means, by that logic, the canon Eddsworld universe/mirror verse has to have their own Ellsworld counterparts in another country.

But because I’m biased and I’m tired of Americanisation, I came up with the headcanon that Ellsworld AUS (Australia) is in the same universe as Eddsworld canon. Yes the girls are Australian yes they’re from best state Queensland it’s my headcanon and I make the rules here.

(If anyone gives me an excuse to ramble about Ellsworld AUS over here, I’ll gladly take it.)

14. What would your neighbour counterpart be named?

Again, good question. Considering my name is more of a more obscure one IRL, I think either Kristine (with a K instead of a Ch) or Kristina or something along the lines of that could work.

If we wanna take it an extra step further, if you knew me in the EW fandom back in the legacy days, you would probably remember me going by an alias of ‘Maddy’ to hide my actual name.

So imagine, for a moment, I get a neighbour that has a lot of similarities to me, with my old alias from in the day. Sure, the names don’t match but hot damn if we aren’t already giving each other weird flashbacks just by observing one another alone.

20. Which Eddsworld adventure would you like to go on?

If there’s a wack sequel to BOTH ‘Matt Sucks’ and ‘Saloonatics’ where it’s a riff of Bram Stoker’s Dracula and I get to be a non-sexy vampire huntress alongside or defending the lads in 19th-century Romania (and LIVE, THANKS), I’m SO down for it.

(Look I know vampires look hot and their hunters by default too, I’m just not comfortable with the sexualisation personally and would like to see and design myself as a more practical vampire huntress. The corset is for back support, the poofy sleeve shirt is a comfort with a collar to hide my neck and I will absolutely chug holy water to get it flowing through my bloodstream.)

(Werewolves are better than vampires anyway don’t @ me)

✏️ Do you prefer traditional art or digital to relax?

Honestly, traditional. Don’t get me wrong, digital is fun, but after getting into the swing of painting again since the start of the year, it’s been a relief and blast to just let myself try different textures and techniques instead of just using the one pencil or stylus to use everything.

💐: Do your drawings suit your aesthetics?

That… is a very good question. I… don’t quite know. My aesthetics are a weird combo of things, and I think my styles will shift to fit and vibe right with them. Since I don’t have a clear answer, I’ll get back to that once I’ve messed around a bit more with everything.

🙊: Share your latest silly doodle with no context.

You and I both know that whilst I’d never play Plasmophobia, this would probably be our dynamic.

Jon: If you get to be a Queen in a kingdom, what would you call your kingdom?

Good question! First of all, don’t trust me with that kind of power. I don’t know if I have responsibility in me to keep it stable.

But as for a name… I’m not quite sure. Though, as an option, I could go with what I called my island in ACNH: Star Cross!

Laurel: Weird things that you and your friend did?

Because you didn’t specify, I’ll go for childhood friend, an ex-friend and current friend.

Childhood friend: We made up characters which were kinda like elementals? And we basically LARPED them out in real time. (We’re still in contact and her life is a very chaotic slice-of-life anime.)

Ex-Friend: combined HP and Percy Jackson into one camp, all stuffed with OCs. Some fragments of the OCs on my end before I gave them up to them still hide out in corners of my mind when I think about it.

Current friend/s: Because of me wanting to cause chaos, me and a couple hired mates are pulling a prank on my uni. I can’t say what, just in case anybody from uni might be reading this, but we’re having a blast.

Saloonatics: Draw your persona like the old western fashion way!

In terms of Saloonatics at the time and place, I’m pretty sure the EW version of my ancestor is just one very confused Romanian/Transylvanian on vacation in America, and watching one green detective who has a funny hat go speeding around at the speed of sound is very, very strange.
