Hello Jay, I would like to hear your headcanons about Tom and his mom 👀👀👀 Go on, speak into the mic 🎤

AAA HI NEIL I'M SO GLAD YOU ASKED

Taps mic 🎤 ahem

Buckle in cause this got absurdly long I did not expect to get this long omll

So I guess I'll begin when he was younger,, when his mother and father first got married they were just going into their 30s, and while weren't actually trying for a kid they did end up having one: Tom

Barbara (Tom's mom) was ecstatic at having a kid whereas Peter (Tom's dad) was terrified, he knows he has anger issues and is very aware of how he's gotten easily frustrated with children in the past and doesn't want to get angry towards his soon to be son (though Barbs has been a dear with helping him and his anger, truly he'd be in jail by now if not for her)

Fast forward a bit, Tom's born and while Peter isn't magically cured of any anger issues, Tom is just the sweetest little guy and he, genuinely throughout his fatherhood, has not once gotten angry at his son. Gotten angry a good few things, but his son and wife weren't in that list

Tom is also born completely nonverbal (this is a little reference to how 2004 he's drawn without a mouth,,, I know that all the characters are at this time because mmm animation but in most fanart of 2004 only Tom is the one kept without a mouth because that and his one eye gives him creechur vibes I love it so I incorporated it like this) due to his autism, and he did get formally diagnosed early on due to this

It's a bit of a struggle trying to figure out what he's saying but he's a quick learner for how to read and write so if he can't get what he's trying to say through hand motions or actions he'll go and write it down (at least when he gets around 5yo, the years before were hard and they had to learn a weird, Tom version of sign language,, to clarify not actual sign language just learning what motions of his mean what)

One interaction I think about a lot with Tom and his mother is in Tom's youth when he's, maybe, 4? And he sees his mom shave her hair for the first time. Tom didn't like the sudden change as she looked like a different person and was having trouble understanding why it was gone

It took Barb a while to fully understand what he meant, why he was crying and whatnot, but finally able to sit him down in her lap he started making a lot of motions towards his own hair and then Barb's, and the interaction goes something like this:

"Are you talking about my hair?" Barbara quietly concerns, gesturing to her now bald head.

Tom made small grunts with wide eyes, rocking in his mother's lap incessantly.

"Okay, okay," She nodded holding her son's hand gently in her own- less so holding and more resting them in her own. "It's gone, baby."

Tom didn't seem to like that answer, shaking his head no with his hand reaching up to grab and tug at his his in distress. His eyes were screwed shut, why would his mom do that? But Barbara was quick to respond with carefully holding her son's hands again, their fingers interlaced as he squeezed on her hands instead in his temper.

"You don't like that it's gone?" She tilted her head to the side, bringing Tom's hands away from his face and towards her chest.

He shook his head no with an upset grunt, swinging his hands (and by proxy his mother's) side to side to drive the point further.

"Ohh,, pumpkin," Barbara gave Tom a sad smile, resting their hands in her lap as she gave him a small, reassuring squeeze.

"It’ll be alright-”

Tom hated that answer more, giving a frustrated noise as his eyes started welling with tears.

“Honey,” Barbara frowned at the tears coming out of her child’s eyes, it hurt to see him so upset, gently running her thumb along his cheeks to swipe them away. “I’m still mama, I’m still you mom.”

She led Tom’s hand over her heart, letting him feel the steady beating of it. The constant and steady pattern of thumping seemed to entrance him for a moment until his mild rocking and distressed noises slowly came to a halt.

“See? It’s still me, baby.” She cooed, running her thumb along the back of her son’s hand. “My hair is gone, but I’m here.”

“Sometimes, in life,” Barbara began, setting Tom’s hands down in his lap again now that he was calmer. “things change, and we can’t control it. Like my hair, you couldn’t control that, could you?”

Tom looked up from watching his hand feel the steady movement of her heart pumping, looking up at his mother’s face. He still looked displeased and upset, but less so, even going as far as to reach for where her hair used to be, trying to grab at the air around her head like it was still there. Fruitless.

She held his hand again, pressing it against her cheek with a broad smile, one she gave him often. He couldn’t keep his resentment for long, giving his own goofy smile back with a giggle. The way her gap tooth showed when she smiled that big was forever burned into his memory, only disappearing from her face so that she could kiss the palm of her son’s hand.

Tom shook his head, frowning at the thought but keeping a wide eyed expression to his mother as she continued her lesson. She smiled to him once again.

“Well, that happens a lot in life.” She sighed, cupping Tom’s cheek in her hand. “And no one likes it, you’re not alone for thinking that. But what you can control is how you deal with the change. Like how you showed me how upset you were, so now we’re talking about it. Do you feel better about it now?”

Tom took a moment, eyes casted down as he thought on it. He gave a small nod as he looked back up at her.

“Good.” She beamed. “And from now on, I’ll do my best to let you know beforehand when I make a change like that, alright?” She kissed Tom’s forehead, causing the child to give a small giggle. That was her favorite noise.

Now, Tom was always a Mama's Boy (not in a derogatory way, he just loved his mom a whole hell of a lot) but even moreso after his father died. They both were grieving and so it caused them to cling closer together because of it, to the point that had it not been for his friend (at the time only Matt, but later Edd too as this was before Tord was introduced to the friend group) he probably would've completely self isolated

They do a ton of things together as Tom gets over and they both eventually heal from Peter's death, baking, sewing, shopping, watch movies, anything they can do when they have the chance to hang out together

They were so close in fact that Barbara was genuinely the first person he came out to for being nonbinary (He/They pronoun user :) ) and of course she loved him unconditionally, but he didn't even tell Matt, Edd or Tord (now in Highschool and having been introduced to delinquent) that yet

However, later in his highschool years, around late Junior year (11th grade) or early Senior year (12th grade) of highschool his mother dies as well. Not from a freak bear with a gun attack though, instead from Pneumonia, which is something she tends to get a lot and always had in her youth, and while it usually isn't fatal and there is treatment and whatnot and she definitely took as much as help as she could, this time just hit different it seemed.

This really fucked with Tom during some of his most important years of his life and caused him to go into a BIG depressive episode for a long long time

Side note that I guess also kinda applies: Had it not been for Tord being just as stubborn of a jackass as Tom, he would've completely self isolated. Edd and Matt helped a lot in his youth but he also had his mom to encourage him, but now with his immediate family all gone he didn't see much of a reason to interact with people. And where Edd and Matt lack in persuasion, Tord more than makes up for in the lack of giving a fuck and would literally drag Tom outside even if he was kicking and screaming. This is mostly because Tord is second only to Tom himself in how durable he is, like a brick shithouse (built like one, too) and not afraid to make Tom hate him if it meant getting him better in the long run (a running theme I have for their relationship :) they're less so "GRR I HATE YOU I HOPE YOU DIE /GEN" and more of like have this weird understanding with eachother where like "I'll literally kill you if you touch me but I'd kill anyone you touched you" type beat, unafraid to get the other to hate them for the greater good because they have the understanding that they wouldn't do something so wildly stupid for no reason. Yes that plays into The End and the future events of WTFuture)

I love them so much oh my god you have zero idea

Anyway, TL;DR

Tom and his mom are extremely close and helped each other get through the worst of times while Tom continues to learn the lesson of "everything changes, it's out of your control, and you can only control how you proceed with it"

#jay talk #jay answers #also i just wanted to add: the reason Tom's mom is bald has nothing to do with any sort of illness or genetic disorder #she just was like “fuck it” and decided she wanted to shave it off #i know that sounds weird but i try to incorporate it in the way she dresses too #i chose this because one: [insert bowling ball joke here]#and two: to show her openness as a character and that's got nothing to obscure who she is #not wearing layers. usually not wearing long sleeves unless it's cold. same thing with pants and they're usually skinny if she does #character design is my passion and psychoanalysis is my game I'm sorry you have to deal with it lol #i really need to draw her more i love Mrs. Barbara Inkwell #and thank you Neil for asking this #I'm bursting at the seams /pos #and I'm trying to get back into the writer grind 💪💪 so this helps lol #sorry it took me so long to respond to this ask lol got my creative mojo back so I'm grabbing it by the reigns and multitasking #to the best of my ability without burning myself out that is #i guess i'll add the ew tags cause this is like a headcanon rant so #eddsworld #ew #ew tom #tom #ew tom's mom #tom's mom #ew oc ?#barabara #barbara inkwell #peter was mentioned #fun fact: he took barb's last name cause he despised his own last name :)#also her name's inkwell and that's sick as fuck #eddsworld headcanons

Let people have their own designs. Just because someone sees Jon as any other race than vaguely East Asian, or makes Martin broad or short instead of fat and tall doesn't mean you get to kick up a fuss.

Jonny and Alex have said that they don't mind people going against the canon descriptions we have and actually have said they enjoy the diversity the show used to have.

That goes for Tim and Sasha, too, and Daisy.

#yea mostly agreed #ppl getting creative with designs is wonderful to see and what i dont want is ppl going after others from having a different design #magpod #tma #the magnus archives #i say mostly agreed bc making canon poc characters white or martin skinny rly rubs me the wrong way lol #but thats rly it #and we should be allowed to have fun drawing characters even if it bothers other #magpod confession

transmisandry cunts have the least interesting views on ~queer masculinity~ ever

#oh do you wanna talk about how there’s too much emphasis on feminity in ~queer circles~? do you?#i wonder why the fuck gay/bi/trans men might find a celebration of the feminine healing or uplifting or transgressive #is perhaps. because feminity in men is demonized?#or that the perceptive of men’s femininity literally gets their asses jumped and beaten half to death?#by god no couldn’t be that. must be because feminine good masculine bad so we need to change our perspectives #<- forgive the light incoherence. it’s 3am #& i was scrolling through an author i like’s twitter (first mistake) and saw some dumbass shit #like ok! we can talk about how the idealized form of ~~queer masculinity~~ is skinny white tmes #but i don’t think y’all (transmisandry cunts) actually want to talk about that. y’all just want to be transphobic to transfems lol #because literally in the same thread from the rt the person was shitting on trans women! like the transmisogyny really is not that hidden!!#y’all fuckers do it with a smile on your face and with such a thin veneer of progressivism you can see right fucking through it

Hirarin has confirmed that he has plans to appear in Ousama Jungle in November and December. He said that since he's resting and getting 3 meals a day, when he come back, it'll probably be the healthiest we've ever seen him! That actually makes me happy 😊

"Let's do this thing! My name is Hollie Connors, I was bitten by a radioactive spider, and for the last six months I've been the one and only Spider-Girl!"

"You probably can guess the rest - beat up some bad guys, get beat up by those badguys, hang out with my best friends MJ and Eugene, and take some pictures for the paper as my main gig."

"New York in my dimension is pretty flooded, some historic global warming left the ground under six feet of oceanwater and constantly raining, so things like Sunshine are pretty memorable! Along with the supervillains, and me fighting those villains of course. Making the front page isn't exactly new for me anymore."

"But I keep going at it, despite how much I might fall from all that rain or breaking an arm, because I know what I do is worthwhile for my city. And I'd say I'm pretty good at it!"

"At least... in my world. Heh. I mean, have you SEEN those other guys-"

Meet my Spidersona/ Spiderverse Oc, Hollie also known as Spider-Girl(by her city) or Rain (by other spider people when they eventually visit).

I have lots of ideas for her lol

Her New York is flooded, so people get around on jet skis and other somewhat futuristic aquatic transportation. There are also some floating sidewalks and platforms for businesses and homes, and the city has built upwards even more.

It constantly rains in her dimension, and she made non-slip shoes specifically for traversing in the rain. That's also why she wears a poncho, also it's a cute costume I find.

I actually looked up who spider-girl is, which helped me inform her backstory a bit, though it's also mashed with Spider-Man's. - She's adopted by a couple who raised her (now divorced), and she works as a photographer as she attends high school.

She went to get some pictures while a reporter interviewed a CEO who was trying to find a way to control the weather - make it so sunny days weren't so rare - and accidentally stumbled into a secret lab. She soon was stumbling around, getting bit by a radioactive spider, and got flushed out by the sewer.

Hollie's motivating event was not the death but the severe injury of her friend Eugene who was paralyzed from the waist down. She saw some criminals mugging people but stayed out of it, but then later Eugene was paralyzed after an attack gone extremely wrong. She realized that the pain she felt was likely also felt by the loved ones of those she saw being mugged in the past. Queue the "Great Power, Great Responsibility" lesson and her starting out as Spider-Girl.

That company she stumbled into was evil too, I don't know enough about Spider-Man to give it a specific name, but it was experimenting with animal DNA to try and make super humans and use it for crimes. Also just general evil plans like monopolize sunshine

Her world isn't very serious most of the time, even with the city being flooded life just kinda carries on like it's normal. Not super cartoony, but it has a levity and pretty good status quo compared to other spider-people.

I based Hollie off myself in many ways, but I wanted to have fun with this character lol

((I have many thoughts on how she would interact with other spider-people, and some other extra ideas for Hollie and the World, might reblog this with those later))

#my art #fanart #spidersona #atsv spidersona #my oc #oc art #oc brainrot #original character #accidentally made her conventionally attractive #was not my intention I just am bad at drawing skinny people #also not everything is shaded completely because I don’t like doing it and I wanted to just get this done lol

“transmasc headcanons are celebrated” Where do you live. How can I go there

#if you mean specifically characters that already present as (skinny white) men in canon get top scars slapped on them or w/e then say that #a while back I read a fic about transmasc Zipp where 75% of the comments were attacking the author #to this day people will STILL start huge fights when someone says Moira OW is transmasc #don’t get me started on Moze and Troy Bordered Lands lol #hell people didn’t even want to accept that Lor was transmasc when he CANONICALLY TRANSITIONED INTO A MAN #as someone who’s literally been stalked and doxxed over having transmasc hcs-#your experiences are not universal. but god I wish they were

#i love spiking it up but it got too long and i dont wanna cut it too lazy too hot #and like i put too much care into my hair #which is not bad in itself #but like the emo look is really bad if you wanna pass because in general emo guys would get called girls and fags right #so like getting called a fag 2 times a year is nice but otherwise youre just too girly #such is the emo life #/hj #ive actually been trying to dress more inspired by nu metal fits (since i cant wear anything skinny anyway)#to me it screams Boy #as well as skater fashion #wven tho im a poser. who cares #actually i want a shirt now that would just say 'poser' lol #also i gave up on keeping my nails sorta ok looking #like i put on nailpolish cuz they get so damn dirty #but havw you seen guys nails?? theyre always long and gross and dirty #so im just keeping a chipped nailpolish and idc theyre a bit dirty now (was painting with acrylic yesterday and got it all over my hands #looks ugly but idc. its a vibe)#i also wanted to stop using makeup but i got this medical one thats both for coverage and healing acne and it actually works #so i use it.. and it makes me look nicely pale because i fucking hate my red cheeks and nose #but that would also help me pass methinks so ehhhhhgg #just gotta keep doing my brows cause theyre Blonde and invisible #ad the dye washes out real quick so i gotta draw them in dhhshd #thoughts are being thunk

God I wanna... Say Something regarding fatphobia in media and the terms ppl use in describing characters who gain weight over time ("letting go" like bro shut the fuck up???) and how like, there's also nuance to the discussion (like, a character who starts out on the heavier side choosing to lose weight shouldn't be demonized either - as PLENTY of people want to lose weight for various reasons, and while you can point to a decent amount of it stemming from our fatphobic society, a lot of it is also just personal desire at the end of the day - but I also understand that if your ONLY fat character loses weight at the end and the other characters don't change either, then that's not good) but idk, I'm a little too tired to properly articulate what's going on in my mind? But I just... wish this was more of a discussion

#fatphobia #like - this is coming from someone who is overweight and is very visibly so #and yeah i do wanna lose weight simply because i dont like the way it distributes on me #but theres also the pressure of my mom who thinks its just wrong of me to be this weight and im like ??? pls stop #but I know for ME its more a personal desire #but i think my biggest issue is that like. bc we're at a state of representation where the bare minimum is never met #we're pushing for a monolithic representation of a far more diverse group #which. yes. i get it. ppl shouldnt be reduced to 'hi im fat bc i love food' and that be all rep #like no i 100% agree with that like a character shouldnt be striped down to solely be about being what marginalized group they are #but humans are so fucking nuanced that like. i DO want to see a character who does have a vibe of 'i like food!!' but have OTHER traits #like you have the skinny anime boy who has a million of other traits and cannot solely be defined by 'loves food'#but you also see them literally DROOLING over food and ordering a shit ton of food and somehow eating it all and like #and like the fact that here im specifically talking about Luke Yugioh Sevens who i would ACTUALLY describe as a kid who has like #ZERO awareness of the world outside of himself but does have a strong sense of self worth and genuinely wants to be great #but is very much aware he has to EARN that and doesnt want to be handed it... makes you wonder why marginalized identities dont have nuance #like??? pls just... make ppl human. humans are messy. thats what MAKES us human #this kinda got away from me but yk what i mean im tired lol

Really annoyed at the terminology midsized rn. Like. Sure it can be helpful for some people (namely women) who have been made fun of for being fat but aren’t fat fat. But that’s the problem with this terminology in the first place. In giving a name to this body size that focuses on clothing size rather than actual bodies themselves we also further distance these bodies from fatness, which only works to stigmatize fatness even more than it already is. It just reinforces the idea that fat = bad and something that only “real” fat people are, when in reality all bodies have fat and many of these “midsize” bodies are what people have called fat in the past but now have been recontextualized in the era of heightened self awareness of the “average size body” as “normal” but the people using the term were made to feel inferior bc of the fat on their bodies and now simultaneously embrace the “normalness” of their bodies while also distance themselves from the fatness AND distinguish their bodies as “different.” We literally need to destigmatize the word fat NOW bc ppl are literally just inventing new ways to be unconsciously fatphobic. fat is not a binary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#again it is helpful for some people. but ultimately those people need to unlearn their internalized fatphobia surrounding the word fat!#there isnt rlly such a thing as “fat enough.” like yes people who are fatter face more social stigma and ostricization #for not being conventionally beautiful or thin or even “acceptable” fat. but also being afraid of being fat is also fatphobia.#like get out of here with this ohhh youre not fat ur just midsized bs. no!!! you can acknowledge that you have more privlege than #someone who is fatter than you but also that you are not skinny and do in fact have visible fat. is that so hard! stop being so afraid!#which is easier said than done believe me i KNOW but also work on yourself. god damn.#you can rb if you want but im really just spitballing here. and annoyed as hell LOL #roxy talks
