Your gateway to endless inspiration
So adding on from my last post with the alternative universe leaders, I decided to do a spread of the four friends, and I added little details about each of them. I kept the theme of each ‘Matt’ alternative getting a second coat with their hoodie, that way it’s still following some of the pre-established alternative universe stuff.
Mattsworld:
Essentially this would be similar to Eddsworld, a bit goofy, a bit serious, over all nothing is entirely different. Matt doesn’t lose his memories here, but he’s a lot more fun-loving and likes pulling a ‘turning you into a vampire’ trick on his friends. In the WTFuture for him, he’s trying to manage a boat and catch up to Blue Leader, trying to put a stop to his old friend’s flooding of the planet while also trying to keep an eye on Edd. Tord is a little less serious, he does still leave the house like EW Tord does, but he doesn’t go to the army. Instead, Tord tries to actually make it in the big city and fails, so he comes back and Tom mocks him about it relentlessly. In WTFuture, he’s captured by Blue Leader and given a deal, either he can be Tom’s head engineer and have a seat at the table, or he can be tied to a cinder block and thrown into the deep blue sea… Tord chooses life obviously, and finds that after working with Blue Leader for a while, he’s starting to like life at sea, what fun it is! Edd is a little more absentminded, this is due to the fact that he had lost a little of his mind thanks to this world’s PowerEDD incident (Tom in his monster form was way more aggressive in that situation) so he’s kinda drifting through life with Matt trying to help him out. In WTFuture, he’s a lot more lucid, he’s still crazy, but he understands that this isn’t a good situation and they need to stop Tom from his quest to drown the world. Tom is crueler he’s a lot more venomous in his comments towards everyone in the house, he’s a high functioning drunk that is drunk nearly 100% of the time, he loves being mean to Tord and fighting him, it’s a thrill. In WTFuture, he is Blue Leader, and I went into detail about him in my last post, so check him and the other leader’s info out on that post.
Tomsworld:
This is comedy, pure random comedy. No one expects Matt to be the ruler of everything, so it’s a whole ass joke until Matt actually just goes ‘yeah I took over the world in a week’ it’s not even questioned. Tom is a lot more friendly, he doesn’t drink alcohol in this universe and instead drinks sprite, he’s likes to crack a joke or two and this is a Tom that gets along very well with his Tord, Tom also has a pet duck instead of Ringo, they have a ducky called ‘Ender’ and Tord laughs about it because it’s Norwegian for ‘Ducks.’ Speaking of Tord… he’s this world’s Matt, he’s a lot more docile and more focused on his hentai collection than violence, he’s a total weeb and has a figure collection that is slowly taking over his room and an intervention needs to be set. Edd is a lot more grumpy, being this world’s Tom, he’s not a drunk! But he is very snappy and sleep deprived, he’s a starving artist that really doesn’t like how Matt basically funds everything in the house thanks to his rich inheritance, he doesn’t like owing people and hates handouts, this is where their animosity begins. Now Matt… well it’s pretty easy to explain him in this world: ‘money will fix all my problems’ and it does, any problems he gets into, he either seduces his way out or buy his way out… it works everytime and Edd hates it so much. In their WTFuture, Matt rules the world and his old friends are his subjects… personal staff even. His friends all have three words to say about it: ‘God Damnit Matt…’
Tordsworld:
It’s a horror segment, everything is wrong here. When Tord left for the big city, it was the start of Edd’s deterioration. Matt and Tom noticed, getting very nervous about it… Tord came back much sooner than he does in EW mainly because of Matt and Tom’s constant calls and texts to come back. When he does, Edd seems to calm back down… but from then on, they can all see him on edge. Tord is kinder, still trying to do the red army thing in this universe but he is willing to drop it when his friends beg him to come back. He has Pau and Patryck working on the army prepping while he returns home and finds that Edd has totally changed, he’s obsessively keeping Tom and Matt close to him, once Tord is back, Edd does the same thing… it only gets worse when the PowerEDD situation goes down and Tord left due to an emergency at the Red Army base. In the WTFuture situation, Tord has been running from Edd and Pau and Patryck are helping him, as he tries to find a way to stop Edd, he’s also being haunted by the spirits of Tom and Matt. Tom is this world’s Matt, he’s constantly nervous and that in turn makes his more monster-like features appear almost constantly. Edd scares him, Tom remembered a time when their green friend was friendly, so seeing him like this? He’s afraid of what will happen if any of them leave the house again, what if that causes Edd to go off the deep end and do something drastic? He didn’t know how right he would be, he is killed by Edd, being ripped apart and murdered while he tried to shift into his monster form, his spirit now haunts Tord, usually telling him to watch out and keep his eyes out for Edd. Matt is this world’s Tom, but instead of hating Edd, he hates Tord. The reason? Because Tord eventually leaves a second time after PowerEDD without telling anyone why. He has a resentment built up against Tord, believing him to be the sole reason that Edd lost it, had Tord not left, Edd would be his happy self.. now he’s worse off. Matt does his best to bring comfort to Tom, who panics a lot more when Edd becomes more manic and aggressive towards them, Matt also does his best to soothe Edd, telling him that Tord will come back soon this process worked… but not for long, eventually Edd doesn’t take the words well and ends Matt’s and Tom’s lives. He now haunts Tord, sometimes being nice and pointing things out that could be useful but for the most part, he’s vindictive and angry towards Tord, he wants to make the other’s survival hard. I go into more detail about Edd in the other post, but he essentially develops an obsessive desire to keep his friends close after Tord leaves, getting paranoid and flipping his shit anytime one leaves his sight, he only deteriorated more after being exposed to Radiation, he amassed a following simply out of fear and uses them to search for his missing friend, when he finds him, they’ll all finally be reunited and happy again. :)
Hello! I emerged from my writing hole to give you this!
I’ve seen versions of the leaders where they’re all basically the same and I thought ‘well that’s no fun..’ so I made my own!
Red Leader is our OG leader! A workaholic with Matt and Tom serving him as he fights to change the world into something better. (Weather it’s good for all or just him is up for debate)
Blue Leader is our sea faring monster man! He still has his monster form and he keeps his visor, though the reasoning is different. (He had an experimental harpoon gun blow up in his face.) he sings shanties and has Tord as his engineer! (Tord isn’t exactly there by choice but it grows on him) Tom’s leading is to flood the world and rule the seas. Might not be smart but he’s a sailor at heart. He’s also missing a limb, it’s his left leg! Tord built him a waterproof robot prosthetic.
Purple Leader is our ruler of everything! In this world, Matt never lost his memory and thus retained his smarts. He’s still self centered and vain but he has the smarts to keep people under his thumb. His left arm is missing because he lost it back when he was ruling as a zombie leader, he’s also a vampire so every so often he gives his subjects the ‘honor’ of being his meal. He rules the world and has people worship him like a god. All hail King Matt!!
Now Green Leader was fun!! Absolutely insane due to radioactivity fucking with his mind. He’s obsessed with keeping his power, it’s an obsession that rivals his love for cola. People follow him out of fear, they don’t want him to kill them, they had seen what he did to Matt and Tom in his fit of insanity. He still keeps their corpses too, stitched them up into puppets and keeps them in his quarters to ‘talk’ with them.. he’s looking for his friend Tord, he wants everything to be normal, like ‘old times’ he doesn’t fully understand that Tord is trying to run from him, so he chases and vows to bring Tord back to his ‘friends’ so they can all be reunited again.
