I've been going back n forth on whether I should make an account to share my Redact[EDD] AU stuffs or clog @nortsauce's ask box, and after a while I sadly chose the former. Right now I'm only going to post EW and specifically this AU, but I'll expand to other fandoms in the future (if I manage to get out of this fixation that is...)
Do expect more bc I still have A LOT of Redact[EDD] ideas in my backlog lolol
we need more red leader art and characterization where hes literally just a dude. sure the evil intimidating war criminal torturer is something i guess but i really want to see a cartoon villain vibe where he has an oddly domestic relationship with his army when hes not busy dominating the world. let the big brother is watching overlord play xbox and hotbox his room please
Edd Doesn't Exist au but I gave it an actual plot where Matt is the main character
More about it under the cut
Basically Matt Edd Tom and Tord were all friends, childhood friends ofc and they were all pretty close. Unfortunately as time went on they grew apart and time moves forward
we follow matt as he's struggling to find his footing as he's been kinds cut off from old money, and he gets a paper and see's his old pal Laurel has gotten a job as a PI or a Lawyer and is like "Oh hey good for her"
however in the bg he see's edd, and is like "Heyy Edd!! I haven't talked to him in a while. Maybe we could help eachother out!"
He hops on "Totallynotnewgrounds" and goes to their old messages and
nothing.
matt's like "Damn must have deleted his acc. Maybe i can find him on"
- Linked in: nothing
- Facebook: nada
- Insta, you name it: He's gone.
Eventually he's going a little crazy and he straight ip searches records like school yearbooks and his own damn scrap book: Nothing. No pictures. No mentions. Nothing at all
Now matt's freaking out bc what the fuck did i mandela hallucinate an imaginary friend
Eventually he gets the idea to search up his old friend, but when he searches him up: a criminal record in norway appears and he's like "what the fuck"
so he goes to Laurel in a moment of curiosity and they chat and have a nice time but then when they reminice, she says "Oh yeah, you and your friends what scamps. You three were the funniest"
FOUR!! THERE WERE FOUR!
Laurel excuses it as she had a concussion a while back and must not be remembering. Matt is like "I KNOW!! IT WAS EDD WHO THREW THE SHOE!!!"
And shes like "Who tf is edd?"
Matt realizes that a lot of their stories don't add up. and asks laurel to get any information on Edd .
Laurel comes back and says "There is no one who goes be "Edd Venture" here. There's an Eduardo!"
"Oh your ex?"
"I never dated an Eduardo..?"
Matt's freaking out.
Eventually Laurel comes back with the papers on his old Norwegian friend, and hears that he's got a fake identity by the name of "Tord" now.
Laurel is suspicious, but says she won't touch the case unless She's paid. After all, "Tord" is very rich now.
Matt, curious, looks into "Tord N. Shields" Files and finds out that he works with Tom. Tom! His old friend Tom Arrow!
That could be a lead!
They work on-
... well matt didn't expect this but hey a lot of highschool tension makes sense now.
After plot shenanigans and more lore bits that i'm too lazy and fly-less to talk abt, Matt visits their film company and finds Tom and Tord.
Surprisingly, they are actually happy to see matt and would like to catch up in the short break time they have in-between shoots.
Matt asks about Edd and finally...
Tom and Tord remember Edd. Matt could cry with relief.
Matt tells them the whole story.
Tord snaps his fingers and he's like "Maybe he's running from something! I've erased myself before! It's not too hard!"
Matt's like "???" so Tord tells him his story.
Turns out Tord fled his country after he embezzled funds from his publishing company who bought his old comics and used it to create an army and attempted to take over norway. he was arrested and tried but before he could get incarcerated, he fled the country, changed his name, and with no other option, married Tom to get a green card to stay.
matt is looking at the camera like in the office.
But there were records of Tord still available. There was at least mentions and photos of him in yearbooks and pictures of him
But none of Edd.
That catches their suspicion. Now its weird. The only picture of Edd in existence is this newspaper that Matt keeps carrying around.
Tom and Tord tell matt about some weird phenomenons that they've seen/experienced and even felt recently.
Matt starts logging them down.
Eventually tomtord tell Matt to stay with them for a bit bc lovingly he looks like shit. Sleep bro.
Thats as far as fly and i got before we got distracted by a video essay LMK WHAT Y'ALL THINK BC IM NOT RLLY GONNA MAKE IT IM PROBABLY JUST GONNA DOODLE IT
A jigsaw falling into place, so there is nothing to explain.
More of the [REDACTEDD] au for my eddmattlings
Little things here like how the cola can becomes a reoccurring thing that follows Edd's disappearance like bread crumbs. after all, cola went out of business years ago how are more appearing?
Matt will also find Ringo throughout his journey and Ringo will always lead him to more clues or to somewhere important.
