A red army centric au? Oh my, I haven't heard the name the red army in (Jesus Christ it's been so long) 4 years. Please do share.

anon, oh my god anon,, you shouldn’t have asked me to share more,,,,,

so uhh basically tord is a jerk to his soldiers and his second in command. after the fiasco that was the "retrieval" of the giant robot they decide they had enough of his bullshit and his second in command kicks him out of his position of leadership and the army. they were supposed to kill him but he somehow manages to escape and steal some goods before doing so.

he spends months living outside like a stray cat until one day he stumbles upon Edd, Matt and Tom. Tord can only call their names until he passes out behind them, the trio is in shock, i guess the movie will have to wait. The three of them argue trying to figure out what they should do with Tord. Tom and Matt vote to leave him on the floor and Edd would have voted the same if he didn’t felt so guilty about it, so he proposed to take him in so the three could get their sweet sweet vengeance by making him suffer (how exactly? they themselves weren't sure but they would come up with something eventually)

Tord wakes up to find himself tied up and sitting on a sofa surrounded by his old friends. They start interrogating him while he tried to come back to his senses. After a session of arguments, Tord snaps and apologizes about everything he did

the trio looked at eachother, lol yeah like a bunch of words could fix their broken trust

soon after, they'd fully realize the poor state Tord was in, and they felt… sorry for him

shit. they should have left him in the streets.

Months and months go by and their friendship slowly rebuilds, Tord sleeps at Edd's apartment and helps them by being their personal electrician.

In that time Tord also reflected about everything, and while he was having fun with his old friends he couldn't help but feel a sense of dread following him everywhere

Consequences would soon catch up to him again when their city gets attacked by a now rebranded Red Army. After being detected by them, Edd, Matt, Tom and Tord would have to abandon their apartment and fend for themselves while chaos dominated the streets. If they wanted to survive they’d have to do anything to keep themselves afloat and, who knows, maybe try and take down the army in the process, allying with new people and old friends.

^^^ and all of this started because of the detail of Tord looking at what used to be Edd's house when Pau and Pat picked him up at the cliff, and me immediately going “hmm what if tord got back to his fucking senses and was actually sorry for what he did…..”

#willow's whispers #I HAD TO SKIP DETAILS TO MAKE IT SHORTER. THIS IS THE MOST I COULD DO 😭#NOW I WANT TO DRAW MORE OF THIS AU... i shouln't be allowed to think about eddsworld in 2022 #this was originally intended for a 'the boys having fun' AU but uh. this happened.#i know it kinda looks like an angsty AU at first glance but in my head it plays out like your regular eddsworld episode #i just cannot write details without getting emotionally invested in what the characters feel at the moment #im not saying the writing is good tho lol #also the new leader is an oc lets gooooo i haven't done one of those in ages #the main color of the army changes to pink #because i think it would be funny if the army's appearance was the complete opposite of what the Red Army had before #also creepier. i think.#ALSO I HOPE YOU'RE ENJOYING THE EDDSWORLD THROWBACK!!! IT WILL GET WORSE DON'T WORRY
