I already made a post talking about this but I'm happy that more people think pretty much like me on this subject. Again, I think edt3 is a really cute ship and I love fanarts of it, I love polyamorous relationships BUT I can't see it really working specifically for them, I can't see Double D or Eddy liking Ed romantically.
And to me EddEddy is so perfectly constructed (even if not intentionally at first, but the fact that it happened so naturally and spontaneously only makes it better) and almost canon that any other ship involving the two doesn't feel right.
for the ship ask, you got any thoughts about edt3??
I’m not keen on polyshipping tbh, and I can’t see the boys being into each other like that. From what I’ve seen, you need a lot of strong communication to make it work or somethn and like, idk, I can see things go south for them all very quickly. Usually when one has a fallout w/ the other, the other ed is their respite and support as a friend. Who… would they turn to if one needed to rant abt the other??? Fights could get awkward very quickly. Also, Ed doesn’t seem like Eddy’s type and vice versa. Their dynamic is like two younger twins that get into trouble a lot haha.
Yeah you're right. It WOULD be pretty fucked up if you were a swan but you were raised by ducks and you grew up never seeing another swan or even knowing that such a thing as a swan even existed so you just thought you were a duck with something super wrong with it.
Talking about "Ed, Edd n Eddy" outside of Tumblr with (probably) heterosexual cisgender neurotypical men is just... frustrating. I feel like I'm talking to a door. The guy got mad just for stating the simple fact that what the Kankers do to the Eds is sexual harassment. I mean, how can anyone deny that? I thought it was, like, obvious to everyone lol. I made it very clear that it's my favorite cartoon and that admitting that what the Kankers do is sexual harassment doesn't mean it's bad or that it should've been canceled, and the guy just said he wouldn't read my text. It's ridiculous.
People outside of Tumblr are so lazy and this scares and saddens me because I love writing and I can hardly summarize my thoughts. I mean, it's okay if you don't want to read it, but then at least keep quiet and don't give your opinion on something you don't know about or assume what the other person said. People simply leave discussions with a simple "I won't read it" and feel victorious for it, even if the person in question is agreeing with them, agreeing more than disagreeing, or only partially disagreeing. They treat "writing too much" as having already lost the argument itself and that doesn't make any sense. The worst part for me is that being lazy to read and having the inability to formulate a counterargument has already been widely normalized on the internet as winning an argument, and it totally pisses me off.
Why are people so lazy to... think, discuss and reflect? To use their fucking brains!? They just want to attack people for no reason and be right at all costs! They act stupid and others agree with them! Ugh, I should just stay on Tumblr. I've already accepted that this is the only nice and safe (or at least the nicest and safest) place for neurodivergent / autistic people.
I mean, it is sexual harassment. Admitting this isn't the same as saying that the cartoon is bad or that it should've been canceled (far from it, it's literally my favorite cartoon of all time), it's just stating a fact. It's like denying that Ed has an intellectual disability and is bullied because of it, or that Kevin is a bully (at least in the initial seasons), these are things that aren't explicitly said in the show, but are obvious and don't make it bad (furthermore, it was the 90s/2000s, it was a cartoon within what was considered normal for the time). Problematic things and complications happen, they are part of life, showing them in a cartoon isn't the same as agreeing with them. It was very clear that the Kankers were a bother to everyone and nobody liked them. Danny Antonucci said the Kankers were based on a group of girls he knew during his 7th grade school year. In his words "they're based on a pair of Grade 7 girls who true to form were always on the lookout for potential boyfriends. They frightened us with their intensity and attitude yet they always wanted to play the innocent with the older guys whom they wanted to date". They were based on real girls who were actually scary, cynical and a nuisance to Danny and others. The Kankers are supposed to be creepy, problematic, a pain in the ass, and disgusting. One of the biggest features of this show is the gross things, disgusting the viewers, and the Kankers and them abusing the Eds and sometimes others is one of those gross things. And before anyone says something like "It's just a cartoon, it's not that deep bro", we're talking about "Ed, Edd n Eddy", a show that literally addresses domestic violence, shows the main character's redemption arc and how his brother's abuse influenced him to act the way he did, and consequently teaches about friendship, forgiveness and acceptance. It's not just a silly cartoon, it also touches on serious subjects when necessary, sometimes in a more shallow, light and humorous way, or in a more explicit and profound way, like in the movie. The Kankers are abusers, just like Eddy's brother, and his punishment in the end is precisely being abused by them. Like it or not, "Ed, Edd n Eddy" teaches us, even if unconsciously and subtly, that girls can also be abusers and boys can be victims of sexual abuse. It's a great show for a laugh, but also for learning some valuable lessons every now and then. The movie was supposed to have even more serious and touching scenes, but unfortunately they didn't fit into the available time and budget.
Then I got these:
So, yeah... The lesson is: Don't expect a healthy in-depth dialogue about "Ed, Edd n Eddy" with people outside of Tumblr xD
As someone who isn't a native English speaker it's really good to have this clarification. I always thought it sounded weird, but I thought it was just my dirty mind making me see things that weren't really there.
I agree. I always see people saying Danny Antonucci looks and sounds/talks like Eddy (even though all Eds are based on him), so maybe Eddy's supposed to be Italian too (?) idk.
And it may have nothing to do with it, but something about this scene always gave me the impression that he has some affinity with Italy.
I feel like Eddy would be Italian... smth bout him
I need someone to tell me why Kevin's hands are so small. Like... WHY?? WHY DOES HE HAVE SUCH SMALL HANDS??? Literally everyone has bigger hands than him, even Sarah and Jimmy.
Eddy's completely missing a lot of opportunities to make fun of him for having "girlish hands" or "baby hands".
Transcription:
" "Little Girls" by Oingo Boingo and "Front Street" by Will Wood and the Tapeworms have pretty much the same energy: both songs that criticize basically the same topic in a way that sounds uncomfortable because they're sung from the perspective of the villain/abuser"
" "Little Girls" criticizes the normalization of pedophilia within the film and music industry and "Front Street" criticizes rape culture Will Wood and Oingo Boingo are very similar in many ways. No wonder I loved Will Wood so quickly, Oingo Boingo is one of my favorite bands"
Transcription:
"Love this song, whole album has great Oingo Boingo vibes."
"Thank God someone said that. Oingo Boingo is one of my favorite bands (but it's not very popular, but neither is Will Wood I guess) and when I started listening to WIll Wood I noticed a lot of similarities, both in the vibes and in Danny and Will's voices"
I'm so happy to discover that I'm not the only one who noticed the similarity between Will Wood and Oingo Boingo/Danny Elfman.
No wonder I fell in love with Will's music so quickly. They both have phenomenal voices (of course it's not just that, it's just that their timbres and tone are one of the aspects that most fascinates me and satisfies my ears).
I DID IT! MY MOM FINALLY LIKED A WILL WOOD SONG! AT LEAST ONE FUCKING WILL WOOD SONG
Ever since I started listening to Will Wood she was judging and complaining about the new songs I was listening to 😭 she hates noisy and chaotic music.
I have a sense of her music taste, so I figured maybe she might like "In case I make it," and it looks like I was right 😌 the song in question is "That's Enough, Let's Get You Home." (and she's absolutely correct. I've been listening to this song nonstop since I added it to my playlist).
Just to be sure: the word "yaoi" can be used to talk about non-sexual situations and/or relationships, right? Like, just romance.
I wanted to say that I see a lot of people talking about how they love old men yaoi, but what really melts my heart is preteen boys yaoi. I don't know, there's something so sweet and pure about it, I just love it.
I'm obsessed with EddEddy (Edd x Eddy from Ed, Edd n Eddy) and now I'm starting to be obsessed with Henry x Ralph (HenRalph) from Horrid Henry.
