And all my friends, they just stay the same
I'm growing up but nothing's changing
I have a lot of thoughts about how the Ed boys would turn out when they're older
•They all saved up to move in together by the time they all turned 18 and Double D and Eddy graduated high school. Eddy almost dropped out, but Ed actually did. All of them kind of idealized what it would be like to live together, but it didn't turn out the way they wanted it to.
•Their plan to move out worked out at the start and they got an apartment, but couldn't keep it. They've been constantly moving to different apartments or staying at motels since they can't always afford to stay in one place. They still haven't left Peach Creek though, and if they do they don't go very far.
•They'd still prefer it over living with their parents. Ed isn't on good terms with his parents after realizing how badly he was neglected, but is on better terms with Sarah who's nicer to him now. Double D didn't wanna have to practically live alone again. Eddy's relationship with his parents' is pretty strained and he wants to prove he won't end up like his brother.
•Eddy struggles to keep jobs, and it's usually Double D paying for the spots they stay in since he manages to actually maintain a job. Ed doesn't work and doesn't plan to, but stays with them anyway despite not paying rent. Double D and Eddy just hide him from their landlord. They usually just settle for one bedroom apartments to save money, and if Ed's too big to fit on the bed he sleeps on the couch if there is one.
•Eddy tries his best not to scam anymore since he promised himself that he'd change, but sometimes he falls back into scamming when they're in a tight spot regarding money. Double D's never happy about this, but Ed usually helps out with scams like he did before. Eddy's scams tend to work out better since he's not a kid anymore too, and he's kinda proud of it despite not wanting to be.
• I drew them to be around 22-23 in these. Ed's 6'3 and has been since high school. He got his growth spurt when he was 15. Double D's 5'10. Eddy's 5'1 and still a pipsqueak.
•Double D's been straight edge all throughout high school since he's extremely health conscious, and it persists into adulthood. Because of that, he's always their designated sitter. He heavily disagrees with how often Ed and Eddy do shit, but knows he can't always stop them. He's yanking a ciggie away from Eddy in the picture though just to try and save his lungs.
•Ed's usually the one who crosses the line a lot when it comes to any substance since he doesn't really know how much is too much. He also doesn't bother to do research or figure out what he takes. Luckily Double D's usually there to look out for him and stop him from going too far. Eddy's nowhere near as bad as Ed when it comes to substances, but there's times where he gets really drunk and ends up being a sobbing mess. Ed and Double D always stick by him while he cries it out.
•Double D got rejected from his first choice out of the list of Universities he wanted to go to and it broke him. He got accepted to the rest, but decided not to enroll just to stick around with Ed and Eddy. Double D loves them too much to actually let them go. Double D settled for going to a community college, and plans to transfer later. He regularly hangs with Kevin and Nazz while he's there, and also tutors them both when they need it.
I have more ideas of how things would turn out while they're adults, but I'll post those with other drawings to come with it 🍬
