Worldbuilding June 2020

11. What’s language like in your world? I am an abysmal linguist, so I’m gonna keep this short and sweet. The language of Kesterline is called Lystratan, which is sorta like if someone said their language was “Earthian”. Or if someone called the planet Englishland, I suppose. The language is effectively english, as I am not creating a con lang and you can’t make me. With that being said for the terminology of the world, I look to french as well as english, due to the enlightenment themes I got going on in this dystopian little world (fun fact, 99% sure demesne is just pronounced “domain” lol). The names of the characters are usually french inspired as well, but I will bend those rules if I really like a name (Ceyda, Rembrandt). So the question is, ultimately, does everyone speak the same Lystratan? The answer is admittedly boring, but for the most part, yeah. Lystratan has been the dominant language in Kesterline for almost eight hundred years, and during that time they’ve had plenty of time to slowly weed out the languages that were there previously. Additionally, Lystratan has fairly strict grammar rules that have been taught, consistently and traditionally, to the aristocrats. This is considered separate from learning how to read, and would be considered basic ettiquette. The core of Kesterline, which is mostly northish, will be basically entirely monolingual. If you go up very north, or go south, you’ll see some slang that might have been from a different dialect, or perhaps an old burned language. Finally, often the antiques that are collected by Kesterline nobles will have strange, unreadable words on them. When explained in academia, it’s often said to be rudimentary pictographs of abstracts concepts like “health” and “longevity”. There is absolutely no source for this whatsoever.

butts or boobs

THIS IS TOO HARD. But probably butts.

Here’s the rest of the questions you asked for that ask meme 1000 years ago:

cupcakes or cookies?

Why must you force me to make decisions like this. I think cookies because you get more of them in the pack and they’re better for nibbling/spending longer eating that cupcakes which just crumble everywhere, and I will sell my soul for those huge “soft centre” cookies tbh

if genesis and sephiroth were real do you think you’d get along with them?

If we’re talking about my version of them - Genesis definitely, Sephiroth no way in hell. :’D

whats your favorite fantasy universe (hp, star wars, etc)

I really really love Jedi and the concept of the Force but honestly the chances of being able to peacefully use the Force and mind my own business would be hard in the SW universe which is ALWAYS war-torn and has almost zero elements of cosiness. So it’d have to be the HP universe. Because even as a squib moving around in the magical world, there would be things within my reach and it’s just so cosy.

which hp characters would you like to go partying with

Hagrid, Dumbledore, the Weasley twins

whats your favorite thing about your boyfriend?

Cheekbooooones Um. Probably that he interests himself in things I’m interested in and there’s a pretty mutual give-take there. And the fact that we can go into heated debates about anything and everything.

have you been anywhere besides englishland and franceland?

I have beeeeen mostly around Europe tbh, Lisbon, Prague, Seville, Italy (Rome, Naples). Did a “Western tour” of the US with my folks in 2012 and it was amazing, 100/10 would go there again with bf/friends.

SORRY FOR THE HUGELY BELATED REPLIES BABES but thank you for the questions

Requesting a drum beat Edd proudly announces that their sea vessel is ready to set sail. He is also going to christen their boat. This seems like a little much.

Christening a boat is intended to bring good luck. Hmm... I can’t tell if the Eds run into bad luck or not since everything ends up being okay in the end.

I see Edd has delved into research on boats. He’s also proud of their project. They’d been running into mashap after mishap. The outcome of this boat makes Edd feel hopeful that everything will get better.

Speaking of which where did the soda bottle come from? Ed, were your hoarding? Or did someone pollute? Either theory is viable.

"By the authority vested in me, sanctioned by want, I hereby christen this seaworthy vessel, the esteemed, um–"

“‘S.S Mutant Almost a Chicken Duck.’“

“Surprised you didn’t run out of paint.”

I love Ed’s imagination. I feel like the movie shows very little of Ed’s antics. He could have had more screen time. Ed is a very important member of the trio. He makes the series what it is. It’s okay to have a big imagination. We’re all unique in our own ways.

Talking of which, where did the paint come from?

The boys have very little supplies. They’re only living off one what nature provides for them.

“Stand clear, gentlemen!” Edd winds up the pitch.

But lands too shortly.

It hardly even took off.

I can’t tell if it was the writers were making fun of Edd’s physical strength or Edd really is a lousy pitcher.

He’s holding back. Edd is afraid of himself. His physical strength is what got him into trouble as a kid. Then again, the dodge ball machine was more of his wits. No matter how confident he seems Edd always asks Eddy for a second opinion. His parents never handled the incident in the best way practically making him disappear from the world.

Ed and Eddy taught Edd how to be confident again. And they would have taught him to be more confident if a certain scene wasn’t deleted. Edd overcomes his fears. It’s what makes him be the first person to face Eddy’s Brother.

Eddy taunts Edd for his weak muscles and asks if they can leave now.

Ed is adorable.

Eddy uses Ed’s hand to stand on as he roughly grabs Edd by his hat to place him inside the boat.

“My Bro will make us eat a barnacle if we show up while he’s watching ‘Matlock’.

Edd exclaims another astounded ‘really?’

Matlock is a TV show that ran from 1986-1995.

@jenny2x4 head canons that EENE could take place from 1999-2000. ‘Matlock’ has been doing reruns for a while now. I have never watched the series. From what I have read about the show revolves around a detective trying to find a killer. It does have some resemblance of the Eds journey. Eddy finds out numerous clues on who his brother is.

I also noticed that the final two episodes of the series are named, ‘The Scam’. Interesting.

Through my research I believe Matlock and The Wizard of Oz are the only shows and movies ever mentioned by the characters. If anyone else knows that more have been mentioned please let me know. There is a famous connection between Ed, Edd n Eddy and The Wizard of Oz.

I like how movies and TV shows aren’t mentioned very much over the series run. Actually, the Eds don’t spend their days watching countless hours of TV. They spend their days outside living in the fresh air. And also living in the world. That says a lot.

Kids are spending too much time invested in technology. They don’t need a cell phone before the age of eleven. They needed to enjoy the world and play with toys, or play sports. Technology is a distraction from ones imagination.

Don’t spend your life glued to technology. Go out, live and explore the world.

Ed is excited by the revelation that Eddy’s brother is going to feed them.

It must be late afternoon at this point.

I never noticed how yellow that cloud is until now. The sky plays a good indicator for the time of day. Shows that you don’t need a watch to know the time. Pay attention to the sky throughout this film. It is painted so wonderfully.

Why does Eddy always have to stomp all over his friends?

Because Bro must have treated his friends like doormats. Eddy believed that to be the correct way to treat friends. Still Eddy knows that he is being too rough. I have pointed out those times Eddy true nature shows through. He feels terrible for treating his friends under a power of abuse. He tests how far they can go. Ed and Edd are stronger then Eddy thought.

Eddy: Heck yeah, [Bro] was the royal cook for the king in Englishland. Edd: You mean England, Eddy.

Does Edd really believe this to be true?? Surely, he has to be on to Eddy by now. Eddy’s stories about his brother are getting too corny. This is the most Eddy has ever talked about his brother.

What was the point of Eddy showing his brothers room to his friends? Was it meant to get a second opinion from them? Eddy is terrified of his brothers room. He’s been searching for answers for years. The most answers he ever received was the day he was with his friends.

Eddy mentioned that he went in once only to get hit with the safe. Eddy is not as confident as he appears. When the Eds are together to face a challenge they know it won’t be as bad. When alone, they’re scared. I mentioned this when Eddy was walking alone throughout the cul-de-sac in Jingle Jingle Jangle.

Never face a challenge alone.

Look at Eddy’s curved smile in the screenshot. He’s been having a tough time keeping a straight face. Usually he’s a lot better at telling lies. It’s tougher. He can’t get himself out of this ruse. Bro may be in another state for all he knows. Know that he won’t be able to keep this ruse going for much longer Eddy fears how the rest of the day will go.

Oh, we all know how it’s going to go in their next scene.

Taking advantage of cartoon physics Ed moves the earth placing their boat in the stream.

Eddy: And away we go! It ain't nothin’ but smooth sailin’ straight to big bro's place, boys!

Eddy, you should know better then to say these kinds of things. You always run into trouble.

Do you guys all want to learn about a scene which would have been a part of this?

The Eds were to lament about siblings.

Ed would have lamented about how he missed Sarah. He also feared that he’d never see her again. That would have been the only instance, besides the end of the movie, where Ed mentioned his sister.

Ed’s relationship with Sarah is rather important. Sarah too. Sarah cares about Ed more then she lets on. I think Sarah wished Ed could have been there to save her on multiple occasions. Sarah has a whole journey where she realizes that Ed is not a bad person. No matter what she has done to belittle him Ed has never given up on her.

Edd was also going to talk about how he always longed for a sibling. He’s always felt alone. There was a moment in season 2 where Edd mentioned that he was glad to be an only child. His opinion changes more and more the further his parents drift away from him. A sibling could bring his family back together.

Edd has observed Ed and Sarah’s sibling relationship. That’s not the best example to go on. Edd is interested in the relationship Eddy talks about having with his brother. If any of Eddy’s stories are true Edd would like to have a sibling how looks up to him. And so he won’t be so lonely.

And Eddy would have sprouted off on more stories about his brother.

You know, this may have been a reason why the Eds connected. They share a sibling like bond. The was a scene set up at the end of the movie where Eddy realizes Ed and Edd were more brothers to him then his own.

Good dreams

I just woke up from the nicest dream about getting to hang out with Gee. I dreamt that his parents had a place in my town, but they were away and he was staying there for a few days. It was frequently his "home away from home," and he was frustrated because he couldn't outfit it to his liking. (The paint on the walls was peeling, for one thing.) It wasn't in a very nice area of town, either. But it was just nice being in there with him and some other people, maybe six or seven of us, and everyone seemed pretty cool. I'm sure Lindsey was there; I didn't know the rest. He'd also taken the trash can somewhere (probably to take it out), so there was no trash. I saw an identical piece of trash on the counter to one I wanted to throw out (a plastic wrapper), someone else who had the same thought, but I kept mine in my pocket, not wanting to trash up his counter any further. I had about five CDs in my purse that I'd burned, some of which had embarrassing fannish titles written on them, and I was like, oh lord, I hope nobody here sees those. The most amusing part of the dream was when we were walking across the bridge to get there (from downtown), he was telling me about all these measures his parents had voted on for parts of town like "Hungarytown" and "Englishland" and stuff like that. I was like, um, I've lived here almost all my life and I'm pretty sure those places don't exist, but he wasn't having any of it.

The CDs came from the previous dream, where I was standing around in a parking lot (that came from the dream before THAT) with some other MCR fans and they were showing me their MCR tattoos. I explained to my mother that ALL MCR fans had tattoos (apparently they did in the dream), and she was dismayed, probably thinking it meant I was going to get one, too. It was nice, because my mother is never a positive force in my dreams, having been an extremely cruel person in life, but in this dream--for the first time ever in one of my dreams--she was just a nice, normal, concerned mom.

As mentioned, the previous dream left me in the parking lot, because I was a member of team RWBY. We'd all gone in to a store to buy fruits and veggies. I ran back in to get an orange, and when I came out, they'd ditched me. I was pretty confused, until I learned they believed they had all their team members with them--because there was some kind of imposter! DUN DUN DUNNNN. I just finished season 3, where something like that might certainly be possible.

GOOD DREAMS. Yes.
