A little Tom Headcannon I keep in my head permanentlyĀ
So... for Eddsworld, nothing makes me happier than headcannoning Tom having a fascination for all things water based.
Fishing, swimming, waterskiing, ice skating. As long as it's at a body of water (iced over or otherwise) Tom is obsessed with it and scarily good at it.
He's obsessed with water because (again, headcannon) his father worked on boats as a fisherman. Tom looked up to his dad a lot and wanted to be just like him when he grew up, so after his father died, being near water felt like he was close to his dad in spirit. It's why he's so good with the harpoon gun as well, his dad had often talked and showed little Tom the ins and outs of how the machinery worked.
He's great at fixing up stuff like that, the only reason that any of his friends learned his proficiency in fixing aquatic equipment was during one of their adventures when they were stranded on a boat. While the three argued, Tom had been quietly fixing the engine up and getting the boat patched up to take them to shore.
Tord had an inkling about Tom's navel experience when he'd seen Tom tying something down using sailor knots, but he never asked about it.
Anyways! That's my headcannon, good night!
