HAPPY PRIDE.

scrapped but are in my heart of hearts dialog:

Jourel!

unfridges your dead wife montage, she's okay but she's dead (handwavey clone of them at least)

moar headcanons in signature VVVVVVVV X3

dont know what said neo pronouns would be but i can see her being quirky with it going by weir/doe

also not spared (ha) from being toward in twain but is a lot more "i'll try to live for the both of you" about it is very sad and haunted by that whole ordeal.

this is because unlike torm, she was not the catalyst of her being split, she will take those details to her grave. It is not impossible to guess if you know my eduardo headcanons.

Mask survivor's guilt like it was never there around most all of her roommates.

equally protective of her equivalent tomatoredd clone, jomarlauardo.

employs being a silly billy to try to cut her grief to alright success, watches your dead wife montage and goes "haha yeah i was really hot in that shot."

inherited some of jon's shyness and :)ness and laurel's excitement and pixie dream girlness

like torm, is a single person. very self aware about which parts of her personality comes from jon or laurel since they weren't the closest before

"I always was a girl/never a girl" trans woman jon supremacy/laurel "yeah im a girl but its not a big part of who i am, I'm just me!" closeted not girl

I think she does death flags for fun. she knows i dont have it in me to hurt her in a way that matters.

thematically being the most deadwife character ever if fun to play around with, she's like a ghost and then she does something stupidly in character for laurel or jon and then she's a person again who is alive and well and that dichotomy is fun to play with. She's blue for an amazing reason (non-diegetic)

I am the most powerful proponent of "you must make what you wish to see or no one will" but sometimes, the burden is heavy

[emway99]

I like scribble Tom can we have scribble tom for us lil fans

I love this freak. he has so much evil in his heart <3

[emway99]

there is a part of me who like understands that using they/them pronouns for a character who is plural of sorts is a bit cliche, but beyond the fact that i just like to habitually give characters they/them pronouns for fun all the time. I do like to hc that tomatoredd's born literally yesterday in 2008 ass did legitimately have that very same train of thought, felt gender euphoria, but because they were born yesterday in 2008 they did not know what that meant so it just affirmed that yes: I am they/them pronouns guy because we are literally four bitches, and did not think about it further.

[emway99]

Can you PLEASE go into detail about your take on Tomatoredd’s monster form? 👀 Is it just all stemming from the Tom part of the clone, or do they also have some other stuff like Matt & Tord’s 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 ☝️ 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:

I love a silent rage.

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 aren’t 100% Tom, so they can’t 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).

resident clone guy once again being haunted by thoughts of jomarlauardo clone and what that means for ranked competitive fear of emotional vulnerability and depression haver eduardo vs power of love and friendship rest of his lame ass polycule. ha ha experience the mortifying ordeal of being known and knowing without a shadow of a doubt that your worse instincts were wrong and were always so. become overwhelmed by the fact that people in your life are in it on purpose and want to stay because of you. get bent you stupid ass avocado.

[emway99]

To parallel torm being an ex-tomatoredd clone and that being a secret that current tomatoredd will never find out if he can help it. After putting together how destabilization works for clones, jomarlauardo, specifically eduardo, puts two and two together and realizes exactly how Jourel (laurel jon's torm equivalent) happened and the sad eyes she gives them does not help.

I’d love to hear your take on the more ‘forgotten’ rejects, as in how their personalities are like! The clones like Toaster Edd, Where’s Waldo Matt, Kitten Shopping Tom, etc. Either that, or to see your design interpretations for any of them? 🤔

Toaster Edd:

I won't lie toaster edd freaks me out if I thought about it more than a gag, taking it seriously just isn't my style. taking the assumption that in eddsworld being cartoons is something diegetic, I mostly interpreted this as edd prime canonically having a toaster in his head and pointedly Did Not think about it further. ya know, ah la hamster wheel.

now im imagining Bing sending a bulk order of One Million toasters. oh god what have I done. are there even that many toasters in the UK?

Where’s Waldo Matt:

Still at large.

Kitten Shopping Tom:

firsts thing firsts, kitten shopping Tom = Film Buff Tom to me. Alas film buff tom has cannibalized a lot of my other tom clone headcanons in my quest to give him a little more something that I think is interesting. creating a kind of tomalgam.

He has joy and whimsy and smiles he just doesn't have a sense of humor and probably has Alexithymia. Got the bits of tom that would impulsively buy an expensive camera and optimistically insist on making movies to make that money back. Has some awareness that Something Happened before he got put in the room but has put no importance to it so he's just chillin'. He generally comes off as very aloof because of the after mentioned all of that. least depressed tom clone.

I very off offhandedly mentioned he's a bit of an escape artist (so he can go kitten shopping) a while ago but to explain myself a little bit more: even if FB!Tom is missing all of his funny bones, doesn't mean he isn't capable of jokes, he just isn't aware he is making them and this materializes into fourth wall jokes when I think it's funny.

This also holds the implication that after we see him get dropped into rejectroom#64 he just? gets out?? and does this over and over again??? (albeit from the dumpster those times). you can begin to imagine the train of thought I was having when i came up with this headcanon.

another reason why i made FB!Tom like that is how tf is he seeing movies? he is simply walking out the front door. he is in the cutaway gag when the others are asking what happened to him. he yearns for the black and white film festival.

Closing thoughts:

Unfortunately most of these guys are sidelined for one reason or another, kitten shopping tom straight up being absorbed for character development. that being said i still imagine some rich inner lives for them, but i think I've told enough. all of this is already above my clearance level.

Can you draw clatt and redd interacting one-on-one (on-four??)

OH OF COURSE I CAN, WHATS A LITTLE "CLATT" ON CLATT ACTION BETWEEN FRIENDS <3

oh man i have thoughts about redd outside of their core group of rejects, one of those being they begin to not know how to handle themselves. Clatt is making it worse. Clatt is ready to fuck around and find out. idk if Clatt knows another matt is in there but lets just say these claws aren't just for attracting mates.

its like documenting low socialized wolves in captivity and making a very misinformed research article about how wolves interact without taking into account how they behave outside of those conditions <3

the brief appearance of monster!redd is basically a last ditch attempt to try to restabilize and defend themselves, because otherwise they are this🤏close to Exploding. they are internalizing a lot of unhealthy mechanisms to keep themselves from exploding around the clordclatt tbf

(i have other hcs about the tom demon thing but ill make that its own post later)

[emway99]

union mandated break over I am accepting clone and reject clone related requests to warm up again

[emway99]

the crux of clord to me is that he's just poorly socialized since tord doesn't know shit about clone care.

[emway99]

bruh wtf my clone doin' he doin' too much. saw me move a little too weird and now his pray drive got activated and now he thinks he can be doin' shit like this.

I'm never getting that grant money.

[emway99]

couldnt stop thinking about @tomatoredd's take, that man is taking strays from all sides
