Eddtober Masterpost: About, Rules, Boundries and Prompt Lists.

I hadn’t done anything about it until now due to no response - however the wonderful @ldhenzel​ suggested that I do it this way for mobile users. 

About Eddtober

Eddtober is a list of prompts made in an effort to encourage the Eddsworld Fandom to spread their wings of creativity beyond the norms that they are used to, during the month of October.

It is all without harming others or causing drama, a neutral ground for all fans of Eddsworld to come and have fun, no matter what side of a discourse they’re in.

It hopes to promote inspiration beyond the usual angsty and over-dramatised content, to revive a spirit in Eddsworld that hasn’t been seen in many years, and to stretch the invitation to all who can create.

Eddtober calls not only the artists who have a talent for drawing, painting and so forth, but also: the authors (fanfics, journalists, essayists, diarists, poets, ramblers), the cosplayers, the video-makers (animators, video essays, memers, youtubers) and all those who want to be inspired with unconventional creativity.

Eddtober’s motto for the fandom it came from is this: To come forth, be inspired and break from the old and the mold!

With that out the way, buckle up. This post is gonna be a long one under the cut.

RULES 

Base Rules need to be set so everyone can participate in Eddtober safely and in a fun way. Please read them carefully!

Always tag it with #eddtober. Gore and related NSFW is allowed in the challenge, but please tag it as #Eddtober gore, etc. Also, no shortenings or reimaginings of those tags, so the minors on this site don’t find it on accident. Though many of us may be over 18, please keep these things in mind.  

Be Sensitive and Respectful to Others. I know many of us here in this fandom can take easy offence to certain types of art, so please consider and think on your creative piece before you post.

Credit Where Due. This should be blatantly obvious right now, but please, please don’t steal other’s creative fanwork or post it without credit. Always have permission from the creator to post something of their’s, and always have their username when you post it, not just ‘credit to the artist’. If you do not follow this, actions will be taken for your consequences.

Keep yourself chill. You can do one prompt for Eddtober, some of the prompts or all of them - up to you! It’s understandable if life gets in the way. The goal of Eddtober is not to do every prompt, but to be inspired to create fan-content in a way you usually wouldn’t have.

Spread the word. This is less of a rule and more of a personal request from Admin Panda, but since she doesn’t have many social media accounts you’d expect, spreading word of Eddtober would mean a LOT, so they can join in the fun too!

Sharing is caring. Reblogging and sharing from your fellow creators doing Eddtober would be great to give them a motivation and confidence boost!

Go Beyond the Boundries of Your Imagination. The whole purpose of Eddtober is to promote new, fresh things to come up in the Eddsworld fandom and break a cycle of the same old that’s been there for a while. Take a leap, spread your wings, do your best, and go have fun.

BOUNDRIES

Most of this list will be related to Rule Two of Eddtober:

Be Sensitive and Respectful to Others.

Quote:

‘I know many of us here in this fandom can take easy offence to certain types of art, so please consider and think on your creative piece before you post.‘

Whilst Eddtober is a fun, neutral place to spread our creative wings, there are boundries that need to be taken in order to keep everyone safe. Which means certain parts that are usually seen as ‘common’ within the Eddsworld Fandom will not be acceptable in the challenge.

Edd Gould’s death. Admin Panda wishes to make it clear that creative pieces that draws clear lines to Edd’s passing IS NOT okay. This includes Edd in hospital for cancer, Angel Edd or any AU that depicts him as a divine being of any sort (including Blessworld) unless Tom, Matt and/or Tord are also similar divine beings in the AU. Here at Eddtober, Edd's life is something to be celebrated, not his death. While Admin Panda isn’t 100% offended by this, many others are and it should be more recognised as such.

Sinsworld. Believe it or not, the sinsworld tag was specifically made back in the day to keep the porn out of the main. But due to a certain in-fandom event, this intended action has been long-lost. Because of all of these events, any sinsworld (porn, lewds and related NSFW) that’s Sinspired by the Eddtober prompts WILL NOT be accepted into the event by any means. This is because many in this fandom are minors/underage and more who are 18+ are repulsed to porn and such (Admin Panda is part of the latter group). So please, it is fine to be sexually inspired by the prompts, PLEASE keep your Sinsworld content away from the Eddtober tag - don’t put both tags into that post, essentially.

Abusive/Self-Harm Creative Content. No. Just. No. Death or pain like this isn’t allowed to be depicted in the challenge and should never be romanticised or supported. Eddtober aims to be a safe and uplifting space for all creative people, no matter what their space is at the moment.

More sensitivities and boundries will be added onto this list as Admin Panda recieves questions and requests for this area through the askbox here.

PROMPT LIST

Quick reminder: when this list says ‘create something for’, it’s not just referring to fanart - it refers to any medium, digital, traditional or unconventional, that can be used. The challenge here is to be creative as possible, not to stay conventional.

The List features Admin Panda’s Commentary. Some useless, some useful.

Create something for Edd. (Not his real-life counterpart, but the character. That needed some clearing up based on 2017’s results.)

Create something for Tom.

Create something for Matt

Create something for any pre-legacy season episode, except WTFuture. (You can do WTFuture if you want, but seeing that much of this fandom is currently made of people who came in after The End… It’d be worth having a crack at pre-legacy episodes.)

Create something for the crew’s symbols.

Create something for Superhero Alter Egos! (It doesn’t have to stop at PowerEdd’s canon either! Go nuts! Give Edd and his friends new superhero alibis and outfits!)

Create something for Supervillain Alter Egos! (Reminder that it doesn’t have to stop at the ‘Green/Blue/Purple/Red Leader scenario! Again, go nuts! Get wacky if you must!)

Create something for Minor characters of the show. (Except the Neighbours - they already have their own prompt.)

Create something for descendants of the main four guys. (Sure, you can make it about the love children of your favourite ships, but the point of this prompt specifically is to not be ship-related. See if you can come up with descendant characters from the bloodlines of the main four.)

Create something for Tord. (He’s late in this list for a reason. Trust me.)

Create something for the neighbours of 29 Dirdum Lane. Are Kim and Katya still there, or are there newbies in the street?

Create something for the neighbours of 25 Dirdum Lane.

Create something for unlucky things happening to the guys, or one of them. Feel free to go as dark or as humourous as you like!

Create something for genderbends of the guys, maybe as if the Ellsworld we know never existed. Or you can stick to canon, up to you.

This prompt is a wild card. Do with it as you wish. (In 2017 everyone was told to quote: ‘go whole hog on this’. The next thing we all knew, everybody literally drew pigs with the guys. That wasn’t supposed to be literally taken, but by god it was hilarious.)

Create something for your crew. Whether you’re the main character with your friends or have OCs taking that place or a mix of both is up to you.

Create something for an AU of Eddsworld. You can make one up on the spot, or even fan content for an AU that already exists is cool too. (As of rule number two of Eddtober, the Blessworld AU will not be accepted for this prompt. I know it is a popular AU, but if you have any issues with this, please contact me in the blog asks myself.)

Create something for Eddsworld as a video game. Whether it’s concepts and covers for your own ideas or fanart for games in the making such as Eddsworld Armageddon, up to you.

Create something for Todd, or whoever the ‘Tord’ figure is of 25 Dirdum Lane.

Create something for a Saloonatics-WTFuture Crossover. (What? Shenanigans could be made here, guys. Just take it!)

Create something for the future selves of the guys. Or if you want to take it up a notch, make your own versions of them! Have them all be hobos (#HoBrosforlife), or have cola not be banned in the future… up to you!

The End who? Create and elaborate on how you would finish off the Eddsworld Legacy season. (For the purposes of this prompt, I can accept an angsty end for this, but I personally do not recommend it. The Eddsworld fandom has had enough unnecessary angst already.)

Create something for Zanta. (I guess you could call him a Nightmare Before Christmas, then.)

Create something for an Eddsworld movie. Whether it’s stuff for the Eddsworld Fan Movie or your own ideas, up to you!

Create something for the deal with Tom’s eyes. If you want to call them that.

Pick a song, any song, and put that on repeat. Use it as inspiration to create something in relation to Eddsworld.

Create something for Edd Gould himself. Not his character in Eddsworld, the real-life person.

An obligatory prompt without Eddtober in the beginning: create something for Edd’s birthday. (This was made into a prompt and will permanently remain as one as Edd’s birthday shouldn’t be taken away from today.)

Create something for someone/multiple someones in the fandom who inspire you - even the small artists and writers and such who are just starting out!

Are you afraid of the dark? Are you getting goosebumps? Create scary/monstrous/terrifying things happening to the guys. Interpretation and how far you go with it is up to you.

Happy Halloween! Create something about the guys on this special spooky day. Interpretation is up to you.

If you have any questions, concerns or queries as to all of this, don’t be hesitant to come shoot an ask through this blog. Have fun and a safe Eddtober!

#9 Create something for the descendents of the main four guys

I know it was supposed to not be ship-related, but I can't help myself, I just LOVE the ship, and now I'm reading this fanfics... I already read "His Favorite", and now I'm beginning "Dear Daughter"(which is still being produced) and the kids were put in a so awesome way in the story, that I can't resist, I had to drew them for the descendents prompt, since am so into the story(it's a little ooc sometimes, tbh, but not all the time, and not exaggerated, so I highly recommend).

(Just to make things clear the kids are in a different perspective from their teenager selves, they're not that little as kids.)

This are Torm and Tomi from "His Favorite", both of them we're created by Tord long ago, from his own and Tom's DNA(without Tom knowing, of course, he needed strong DNA, 'cause he was creating bioweapons). Torm was created approximately 8 to 9 years ago, and Tomi 5 or 6, both of them have monster DNA mixed on they're own, and they can posses people to fight. Torm has devil genetics, and has been kept in a cell for his entire life, he was considered dangerous, even looking like a kid, he have devil features(horns, tin devilish tail, "bat" wings, claws) that he can show, or retract; As for Tomi, he has demon genetics, he got free from his cage in the past, and accidentally possessed Tom back in the "Power Edd" occasion, being a kid he didn't know how to "unposses", and got stuck for years in his own DNA donor's body, his mentality had a jump to catch up to Tom's adult mind, but still remaining kinda childish, when they got separate Tom discover his monster spirit was actually a child, and one who looks exactly like him, he adopt(not exactly since is already his son, because DNA and stuff) the monster experiment, and Tomi end up finding Torm months later, who Tord reveal had Tom's DNA too, and another "adoption" happens.

That's they're current appearance in the "Dear Daughter" book, 16 years later, they weren't supposed to grow from child size, so Tord developed a serum that allow they're bodies to develop till they look like 25 for Torm, and 20 for Tomi, they currently look like 19 and 18. (Also don't you misjudge Tomi, he looks kinda girly because he has omega genetics, but he's quite strong, for example, if needed he can easily carry his brother bridal style in his arms).

And finally, this is Tika, she's 16 and is a normal human being, and came to life trough normal pregnancy, and c-section, since Tom can't give birth, he is only able to get pregnant because he kept Tomi's omega genetics from the long time they spend sharing a body and mindset, and that's how Tika was possible.

Sorry for the long post, hope you enjoy :D

Eddtober Day 30: What got you into eddsworld.

It was recommended to me. The first 3 episodes that I watched were spares, mirror mirror, and wtfuture. Background wise is that I found it by 2018 cringy shipping.

Thank You!

I can’t express how happy, hopeful, grateful and proud I am of you guys. 

It’s been my second year of running Eddtober since I started it in 2017 on my main blog @lemjpanda13, and my first year running it here on this blog. But you Eddheads with your unconventional creativity, whether it be painting, cartooning, writing, game-making or whatever means possible - you make it all worth it. Even with one prompt, some prompts or all, you all make me see that you create for the fun of it and that you want to share out of a genuine excitement to tell your stories or paint your pictures - mentally or literally! 

And before I keep talking, I want to say well done to all of you - especially the ones who couldn’t go on with the challenge because life got in the way. I’m so proud of you for taking the responsibility to draw the line for yourselves and take care of what needed to be done. Be it commissions, health, work, school, family - it called for more attention than Eddtober and I’m proud of you for dealing with it instead of suffering whilst doing the challenge. You’re all brave to go out there and deal with what you had to, it was the best choice you could make. 

When I first began Eddtober, I had a goal in mind: to bring back the sense of love, kindness and community that I had when I first stepped into this fandom a little over five years ago this year. I was tired of seeing the Eddsworld tag and online groups feel like the same, dull, depressing grind of ship wars and discourse - especially on tumblr. 

I missed the community who I loved and who loved back: be they newcomers, fans of kind and genuinely funny fans, comic writers, fanfic authors and so much more. I grew tired of the community (especially the one that surfaced after post-legacy) that constantly over-dramatises bad news, discourses and made people feel inferior because they didn’t like a certain thing or ship. And the content that these people made or influenced others to make just felt over-angsty, over-edgy, and left a bad taste in my mouth. I wanted to hold on a little longer and see hope for the better come to light. 

But I got tired of not seeing it. If nobody else was going to offer that hope, I decided that I would.

I did what I could, and it wasn’t much, really. But when I saw the results of the challenge from others, my hope grew. I got excited about Eddsworld again. I found people who could create fantastic, funny, horrifying, creepy, crazy and overall beautiful works - people who I couldn’t have discovered by diving into the unknown immediately. Eddtober brought out the best of people in this fandom, and I sincerely believe it will continue to. 

This challenge has a long way to go - but this is NOT the end of Eddtober. It’s the beginning. My dream for Eddtober, is that all will give it a go - not for discourse, drama or hate - but for something that has sustained this fandom even before Edd passed on.

A smile, a laugh at a good or dumb joke, and creativity abound - even in years of change, storms and uncertainty, those things have kept this fandom alive. Those things have kept Eddsworld spinning.

I’m so freaking proud of you all. I know Edd would be too.
