oh my constant quest to ship characters together, i wanted to come up with a setup for pond tordmatt. for funnies
had to change things up a little, because at the state tord and matt are in the comic, this would not even stand a chance. so they both have to give each other a chance. somwhat.
i feel that the only way they would do that is through somebody they both have a soft spot for. so Edd.
edd and tord are irl friends at this point, tord and matt do not know each other.
tord and edd are talking, and the conversation eventually turns to dating. tord eventually explains to edd that he thinks he has interest in men, but isn’t sure. he wants to have a go at experimenting and seeing if it works for him. problem is, he could not score an opportunity to do that to save his life, and is freaked out by the idea that he’ll never know.
tord brings this up in hopes that edd would give him a chance. edd does not pick up on this.
edd tells tord he has a friend who told him something similar, who is also struggling to find somebody. edd suggests he set up a date between the two, so they can see how it goes.
tord is under the impression it’ll be fine. him and edd are fucking loser nerds, so surely one of edd’s friends will be the same. so tord at least has no reason to feel panicy or intimidated.
matt shows up and is the furthest from the type of person tord anticipated.
it’s all awkward and pretty horrendous .
edd probably asks tord how it went the next day, tord is about to tell him he’s an insane person for thinking they would work out and flipping out at him.
before tord can get to that, edd’s saying ‘oh it can’t have been that bad tho, because matt told me you’re meeting same time next week.’
Tord’s like ‘??? WE ARE??’
any time they spend time together he doesn’t stop talking about how he’d rather not be there, but he always ends up arranging something again after.
just wanted to throw out some ideas i’ve had in my mind and dump them somewhereee
