Headcanon about Bastard’s Box (probably Tinky as well as how he might obsess over Ted cause eeyup)

sometimes I wonder if say, Tinky collects Teds like collecting Barbie dolls.

So he has a Ted of every kind. Teds he traumatised, Teds doomed by the narrative, even the infected Ted too. The requirement for Tinky to just collect the Teds is they gotta die.

On the regular, each Ted is basically kept in their own rooms in the Bastard’s Box. By right, the multiple Teds from every timeline collected thus far should not meet each other, because Tinky simply doesn’t need any Ted to know about the other Teds.

This could go a few ways. One is some Teds DO bump into each other at times and dive into each others’ very shared trauma before the time goat comes back to see what’s the next Ted to play with.

Second is that, the Teds, in between times of Tinky messing with a Ted, literally gather round and just start chattering away about anything. Sometimes maybe they help each other with whatever game Tinky is giving one of them next. Gotta help each other, you’re all doomed to be a time goat’s toys for life.

Third, with which I think for laughs and no plot, is the Teds Talkshow just for Teds. Hilarity ensues. Tinky does not know of the Teds Talkshow. Nobody knows who assembled it, they just know that this talkshow sometimes appears at random to the Eldritch folks down in Drowsy Town, assuming they have a radio or even their form of TV.

thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

So about that "multiple Teds" that rots my brain randomly

This technically doubles as a how Tinky is interpreted for the Timelines AU. This ramble, a cute random discord discussion between @shadowess and I, is going nowhere, except out here xD. Pardon the mess on my end.

For this AU, Tinky keeps trying to find a Ted that is ... "smart enough". By means of smart enough, that's tricky, but I would say Tinky eventually wants to see a Ted that is not too stupid to go to 2004. In short, the whole time travelling shenanigans is a terrible "social test" placed by Tinky, which MAY alter certain situations ever so slightly to properly lure Ted into the "test". However, most have been deemed failures, Time Bastards specifically, so he just chucks them into his box to just play with whenever he wants, be it more messed up games or stuff like that.

So Tinky knows which Ted is which, specifically may label them so that he will not take the wrong Ted to play with (Gamma Ted 231118, Phi Ted ??1018, Chi Ted 171004, so on and so forth). But to each individual Ted, he still calls them "Teddy Bear" to not raise suspicions that there are more then one Ted.

But over time, as each Ted learns about the other, they figure some way to ID themselves. There are certainly infected Teds in there, which can be identified with maybe some leftover blue in the eyes. The rest of the Teds are mostly brown-eyed, but for those who got the Time Bastard treatment, they may have yellow eyes when in Tinky's presence. They also slowly observe that there are Teds who are here as young adults (if say, Ted chloroforming his young self had gone horribly wrong), some who died at the 30-somethings like Workin' Boys Ted and TGWDLM Ted for example, they would be put through the Time Bastard challenge posthumously to do this same check, and those at 50 years of age (these are the Homeless Teds). Some of the Teds are female (for mine's, I'd name female Teds Thea). Nonetheless, the female Teds could be Time Bastardised all the same, or Infected.

What's important is that they soon realise that they all came from different timelines, and that they are practically labelled according to the timeline they were derived from. They only notice since they now have someone else looking at them, and maybe a few of the Teds who are actually more sane, doing the observing.

So, to end off the lore ramble, for the little talkshow they've got, you could stand to see the following who get identified as such: Crime Lord Ted, Cowboy Ted, Host Ted, Theatre Ted, Normal Flavoured Ted, Nerd Ted, so on and so forth.

And there will be Teds that do not show up as much, as they are one of few Teds who are... walking free from the Bastard's Box in two ways (as being a Time Bastard means you are an eldritch being who can possibly find a means to get stronger).

1. They are not dead

2. They have escaped and have their own backdoor

Right i stop here, thanks for coming to my Ted talk, have a good night/ day for whoever stumbles on this XD - Thunder
