I LIED THE HYPERFIXATION IS WINNING. AU INFO UNDER CUT
This is a TMA x EW AU ! All the reasons for each choice is provided !
Edd :
- Marked by the Slaughter due to earlier episodes of Eddsworld with the mindless violence alongside the mark potentially coming from Tord considering their pairing of fighting a lot
- Avatar of the Spiral due to 1) The concept of Eddsworld and the nature of it being confusing enough to border on unreality and thus not make sense 2) I see Edd indulging in that insanity instead of succumbing 3) The Tales of Terror episode of not knowing whether everything is real of not made sense to associate Edd with the Spiral
Tom :
- Marked by the Dark due to his eyes primarily, them being always black alongside him being burnt by light when he actually has eyes ( which I wouldn’t call a disinclination towards light but instead. Forced to not enjoy it as much with eyes. Maybe overthinking but stick with me )
- Avatar of the Hunt primarily due to his ability to turn into this beast / demon but alongside that the concept of his harpoons and how they are associated with hunting always grabbed at me plus his fixation of hunting Santa down at Christmas time just made the most sense for me
Tord :
- Marked by the Spiral specifically due to not only his association with Edd ( which would logically make everyone marked by the Spiral but shhh I only had so much room ) but the entire nature of Eddsworld feels like it would constitute a mark
- Avatar of the Slaughter due to his trigger happy, blood thirsty personality when it comes to mindless violence. I definitely believe he chose to indulge in the fear, thus obvious avatar
Matt :
- Marked by the Corruption due to 1) The constant mess he surrounds himself with in his room 2) The nature of the Corruption never letting go and sickeningly loving and so attempting to “love” Matt and 3) The constant association with Matt and Zombies ( Undead, generally ) and the Corruption spreading rot
- The Avatar of the End due to his association with the Undead typically as well as the inspiration of MAG113, Breathing Room where the Avatar Justin Gough made a deal with The End to come back, in turn paying back a debt. That’s Matt in my eyes and is also heavily influenced by The Tales of Terror with his segment, Self Reflection

I like to imagine that they all remain in one domain when the time comes and as such, the domain is the entire mess ( mind if I’m bending canon if sharing domains isn’t possible. It’s Eddsworld ). The entire place is the equivalent of their Zombeh Attack videos, where people who enter begin to question reality and do not know as to who is an actual person and who is a zombie. It also follows the wacky, zany behaviour of Eddsworld with their cartoon logic and humour. It’s entire slaughterhouse of zombies and misadventures ! Fun for the whole Eddsworld cast !!
There is no way Vincent took the time to learn how to do makeup so I'd like to think when Scott shows up at the first comp and notices Vincent's teammate doing it for him Scott takes it upon himself to learn so he can do it instead...
THINGS THAT SERIOUSLY ANNOY ME IN THE HP UNIVERSE ( or in other words : unpopular opinions ) :
ATYD is the worst thing to ever happen to this fandom…
“Dumbledore was the real villain” NO. Like plz, ppl nowadays hate Dumbledore more than Voldemort … that’s crazy work.
I get not liking him, but he’s not EVIL… come on y’all
When someone claims that Walburga was beating and casting curses on her children —
NO.
I feel like she would think that hitting me would be too “muggle” or beneath her, you know? I’m not sure.
When Peter is replaced with the marauders by Regulus. Peter would have been a fandom favorite if he had been skinny and responding to the beauty standards. Y’all just hate to see a fat complex character coming. ( If you’re going to replace peter with anyone, why the heck would u choose regulus 😭😭 like choose Kingsley or smth )
🤡 : “Regulus was the fourth Marauder and James trusted him and we're close friends!" Yh no… that was Peter.
Peter was really important and it’s why the betrail is so brutal. They all meant everything to each other, it frustrates me to see people tell that they were just friends by pity
I REPEAT : atyd has warped this fandom beyond repair. people genuinely treat it like canon and it annoys me SO BAD
I cannot stand fanon Regulus. That boy had a shrine for Voldemort in his room and most likely joined because he wanted to. He only turned against voldy because he left Kreacher to die.
Before anyone attacks me, I like regulus but not the way most of the fandom portrays him…
dramione
I blame manacled for that 😑
Dramione are just emma x tom supporters 💔 don’t bring that energy to the characters fr
But srsly, how can dramione be a thing anyway 😫 ?? I don’t get the ship, like i get the pureblood x muggleborn trope but WHY HERMIONE OUT OF ALL PPL ??
It’s not enemies to lovers, but oppressor x oppressed, their entire relationship is just Draco insulting her and Hermione ignoring him
Drarry too, it’s the same damn thing
And don’t get me started on wolfstar … it’s a big NO.
James was a bully and nothing excusing his behavior to shape
With that in mind, Snape was a horrible professor and also a bully, his decade long grudge is not an excuse to treat someone horribly
I don’t like Ginny … sorry :) and yes I know how she is in the books
I loathe Pansy
and I dislike how some people in the fandom try to paint her as this badass woman. She’s not. Like, did everyone forget she’s racist???
that’s all for now … I know ppl will prob disagree, but oh well
Edit (since I noticed some people are taking it the wrong way — as expected… ): Atyd is definitely well-written, my comment wasn’t about the quality of the work itself. I was just referring to how, sometimes, it feels like people push others to like it or treat it as if it’s canon, even when not everyone feels the same. That’s all I meant.
