  • The eggplants

  • You can always call us idiots.

  • i like seedlings as a name because it makes me think of great potential. it sounds like you inspire people, watch them grow, to do great things and be their own person, not just a crowd of scrraming fan-girls who aren't individuals. to me, the name seedlings implies individuality so i am quite happy to be a seedling.

  • I'm not sure about the Seedling thing, to be honest with you.

    I sort of feel that if you are not happy with it as a name for your subscriber base, then it's not going to stick in the long run, because you won't use it. I get the joke, because of "plant", but maybe an eggplant joke. Like, calling us Aubergines (although that's also kind of on the adorable side).

    I don't think there should be pressure on you to find a name. If you say "guys" and it's a video, we'll know.

  • I'm 23 and i'm happy to remain a Seedling :)

  • I think that seedlings sounds very affectionate and unique. It's not too controversial in the "what are they?" aspect as nerdfighter is.

  • I've been voting every time i'm reminded with your tweets :) my question, that i'm sure has been asked already is, are you working on any new music? i really enjoy your original music even more than the covers actually.

  • I want to stay a seedling. We`ve been seedlings for years...why change now?

  • whats it like living with tom milsom and tom bacon??

  • Doesn't help that seedling sounds like a pokemon. Not a badass one either, one of the non-evolved one that's basically a colourful, smiling blob.

  • I am really not keen on named fandoms. Little monsters, twihards, nerdfighters, all of it strikes me as an adolescent attempt to define oneself through the culture you consume. It's like always wearing adidas or nike. I am too complex a person to be reduced to a word, though maybe that's arrogant.

  • I like seedlings :D oh, and my question is: pirates or ninjas?

  • How, and when, did you first hear about "The Game" ? ;P

  • Penguin's! But seriously, I like seedlings, It's like you're nurturing us into the YouTube community.

    Also, people play music to seedlings to get them to grow faster, so sorta relates :)

  • Lol, Pikmin.

  • I'm in favour of being a Photosynthesizer. I just like spelling it. And it relates to plants. And Synthesizers. All around good.

  • Aubergines! No, no that's stupid.

    Eh, You should call us like...Eddplanters or something. xD

    Eddplanters... sounds like something you put flowers in. xD

    Eddbuds are cool. Eddlings? That's not bad.

    Anyways, here's my questions:

    Who's your favorite doctor and companion?

    If the doctor showed up at your door and asked you to travel with him, would you go and why?

    What song of yours are you most proud of (your personal music or even chameleon circuit)?

    What are your top 5 favorite songs?

  • Seedlings to me are young trees, which is the denotation of the word, there is not really any connotation to that word for me, they're just little trees.

  • "Seedlings" makes me think of Super Mario Brothers Superstar Saga (Cackletta's Revenge?) where there is one part with a giant egg that has small plants growing from in all over an airplane runway so Mario and Luigi have to battle all the small plants and then the large plant that erupts from the egg so that a plane can land.

    And I have absolutely no idea why.

  • fanplants... yeah... :)

  • We are subjects of the Royal Edd-dom. Not to be confused with the kingdom of Edd, where everyone is named Edd. haha. I just got my earned votes today and all twenty, my daily and earned ones, went to you! :)

    Who is your biggest inspiration in life? (Not just in your music and such, but your life.)

  • I just imagine the little plant eva fins in wall-e.

  • seedlings = oddish

    therefore

    seedlings = awesome

  • I will never be a Seedling. Always a fan of Eddplant, never Seedlings.

  • PlantLife? Eddcentrics? Plantastics?

  • I get why you chose it, but "seedlings" feels kind of condescending. Im probably 10 years older than you, so I'm not your seedling. However I very much enjoy your music and vids! Also, thanks for asking! Cheers.

  • Seedling..I think about the HaryPotterplants which scream when they get out of the dirt (don't know the english name of them) and when they were described in the book i imagined them like lil babies...conclusion. i like seedlings

  • @MsHammy91 Mandrakes.

  • @VivalaReinette haha thank you :)

    When did you have the piercings done ?

  • Seedlings is adorable, but it does also make us seem very young and like @FreddysAFluffyPoodle says, you're nuturing us, but you could probably come up with another pun of your name cause those are always fun.

  • QUESTION!

    Where did the name Eddplant come from?...I always assumed that was your real name- Mr. E Plant, though I have discovered it's not :(

  • Question: What's it like to sing on stage? What's it like to sing your songs to thousands? What's it like to hear them singing back the lyrics that you wrote?

  • I like seedlings, it's cute. But like the vlogbrothers call their community "nerdfighteria" and it's members "nerdfighters", you could call your community "the garden", or something like that, and the people that are part of the community "seedlings."

  • I like seedlings, it's cute. But like the vlogbrothers call their community "nerdfighteria" and it's members "nerdfighters", you could call your community "the garden", or something like that, and the people that are part of the community "seedlings."

  • Bit of a stretch, bit I think you should call us "Jean", as though you're talking to one person. Let me explain my reasoning: eddplant sounds like eggplant and an eggplant is called an aubergine and that shortens to jean. Also, I think it would be really funny to talk as though it's just one old lady you're speaking to.

  • whats the coolest thing about being in chameleon circuit? DFTBA!!!

  • call us VIEWers.... simple as :)

  • Q: what were you like when you were 13 years old? like what were your interests at that age?

  • Seedlings is alright. Why don't you call us bulbasaurs coz plants can grow from bulbs too? Also What is your outlook on misleading adverts?

  • Question: what inspiried you to vlog? or even to get involved in the youtube community? PS. We're Very glad you did :)

  • Do you like Green Day, All Time Low or Muse?

  • I was gonna say Trepids... but I think Aubergines or maybe Auber-genies (like in Aladin... idk if thats obvious or not...) would be cooler B)

  • you shouldyou should call us the "plant bunch"

  • Eggplants, Aubergines, or zucchinis (because of charlie's mistake on his video with michael...) xD 

  • Can you please name all the instruments you play, and what grades you are up to please?

  • I like seedlings. I think it sounds like we have room to grow and your teaching us. :3

    Question: What's the weirdest thing you've gotten inspiration from? :)

  • Question : What's your favorite music band/artist at the moment?

  • question: How do you get your vlog ideas? :)

  • Question: Which is your favorite Star Wars? And what house do you think you would be in at Hogwarts?

  • plantguins hahahaha its like a cross between plant and penguin hahahahahahah

  • When I hear seedlings I think of Pikmin...

  • Which is your favourite song you've written? and also if you enjoy Alex/Tom/Charlie 's music, which are your favourite songs that they've written? And what's your favourite song on Still Got Legs?

  • To be honest, I don't care what you call us. Seedlings is a cool name, but "you guys" is nice too :P

  • we are ed plant's ROOTS

  • favourite colour? lucky number? :)

  • How about "planters" such as Eddplanters. IDK!

  • Question: are you single?

    Def stick with a plant related theme for your name for us.

    Oh and please keep doing the heart thing at the end of your vlogs, it's super cute :)

  • I'd actually prefer not getting named at all, "you guys" appeals to me much more than anything else.

    Question: Where have you traveled to/would most like to travel to?

  • Seedling... that sounds as if we're your minions :`D I actually have no problem with that...

  • Question - Do you often get recognised on the street? How does this make you feel?

  • To be honest, the name 'seedlings' makes me think of cults and worship... So for me, 'you guys' is just fine! :)

  • what is your Favourite band/ singer? 

  • i think "seeds" is a LOT better than "seedlings"

  • Question:

    Do you sometimes "fail" in your process with making videos or music?

    And how do you use the "failing" and what do you do to prevent it?

  • I really like the name seedling, You're a plant, and we wouldn't be us if you didn't do what you are doing. Which means we are what you "leave behind", Seedlings. So when we grow we can start sharing your music and your personality with others.

    So we are defenitely Seedlings :)

    Seedlings of an Eddplant :)

  • What is the musical achievement that you are the most proud of?

    Also, I am ok with being called anything.by you, but I don't know if I could call myself a seedling o.O though that is rather cute. I think that 'SeEDs' is my favourite suggestion so far!

  • seedlings feels like you're growing us into little edd's . . . which i'm not sure if I mind or not o.O

    Question: What song that you've written are you most proud of and which one means the most to you?

  • Eddicts!!

    

  • @trinabear269 I think that sounds like screaming teenagers. lmao

  • What is your next musical project going to be?

  • what was your favourite band when you were 10?

    what was your first concert?

  • So I noticed your piercings and I love them. Are there any others that you are considering getting, or are you content with the ones you have? Do you have any tattoos?

    

  • i belive seedlings has its pros and cons such as we are all seedlings in life for we are all countinuing to grow and this community allows us to grow together but on the flip side it would sugest you are a gardner growing and harvisting your fans wich some may see as a declaration of power (wich im shure is not your intenchens)......that or ive had way to much candy today......probably the candy y not just plants ps i kinda want to see more pass the eddplant fun fun fun times

  • I like seedlings, it's like your nurturing us into liking non top 40 music or something.

    Also where in the world would you go if you could choose anywhere? :D

  • @FreddysAFluffyPoodle I'm not trying to nurture you away from anything! Some of my favourite music appears in the Top 40 now and then.

  • yay he finally did the hand heart <3

    What about SeEdds?

    like seeds, but with edd in it? Just a thought!

  • Eddheads sounds very fangirl-ish.. random thought: the plants? x)

  • Seedlings sounds like we are all little potentials Plants

    How about Botanists? (People who like to know all about the EddPlant)

  • What do we not know about you that we really should?

  • Do you have any advice for people learning guitar/aspiring to be musicians?

  • yeah seedlings does make me feel like a child. BUT i do like the plant related theme there XD

    

  • eddheads is the best name ive seen yet

  • I met you, but I had so much more to say to you directly, is there a chance I will meet you again?

  • do you ever get upset about the content of the ads that youtube chooses to put on your videos?

  • I quite like Eddlings and Eddheads, seedling is cute but I think the others have a more direct relation or something :p

  • Eddlings and Eddbuds are great :)

    What made you want to do music in the first place? When did you know it was something you loved?

  • How did you get into music? What process do you go through when you write music?

  • I like Eddbuds.it makes us sound like we are all contributing to the big, blossoming flower that is Ed.

  • "Seedlings" always made me think of sperm, so... yeah. XP

  • What musicians influence your music?

  • are you single?

  • aubergines!

  • You went to Walmart while in America, right? What are your thoughts on it and/or America in general?

  • What is your daily routine in the morning?

  • i agree with eddbuds

  • I love Eddbuds, it's cute. :) also my question is...

    What is your opinion on Glee? :D

  • Plantlings sounds fun

  • I think seedlings is funny. people will question "Seedlings?" then see your username and be like "Oh, dude, I get it, lol."

  • when i think eddplant i think eggplant and then my random thought process goes to the word delicious ( though im shocked that thats not the first thing i think when i think eddplant. . . ) just thought u out to know :)

  • could always steal Liam dryden's "vewbies" I mean everyone pinch his "doobly-doo" thing

  • when i think seedling i think growth and potential and i feel like leader of a group called the seeding is role model and someone we should aspire to me like

  • plant-a-matics?

  • How do you choose which questions to pick? What are your favorite kind of questions?

  • Where does the username Eddplant come from? Like how did you come up with it?

  • how about Hummingbirds? They have a mutually beneficial relationship with plants. They spread the pollen around (tell others about you) whilst the plant gives them nectar (your music). Plus hummingbird being, y'know, humming, like music and stuff. Maybe that's too cutesy too.

  • are you single?

    how did you meet Tom, Charlie, and Alex?

  • your fans.

    and my question: What is your favorite fellow youtube person

  • Eddbuds is ok, I like sprouts as well. You could go with something less themey like Toby Turner and Audience or Phil DeFranco and The Nation. Something more vague

  • The people that 'None Of These Songs Are About You, But Some Of Them Might Apply' are about.

  • Memorize all of our names and address us individually in every video.

  • @exceptionallyashley I like that idea :D

  • @exceptionallyashley Hahaha, YESSS.

  • plants?

  • EddPlantipanetions

  • we are the Eddish

  • If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?

  • Question for friday: You said, that the CC performance at VidCon 2011 was the best gig you ever had... What exactly made it so very special?

  • Have you ever read the fan-fictions written about yourself?

  • I'm not sure how I feel about naming the audience. Sometimes it works, but sometimes it is just weird. When I think of seedlings, for some odd reason I thought of baby aliens. If it is something you want to do, go for it, but I don't think that a name for the audience is super important. You can just call us simple terms like "everybody", "people", "lovelies", etc.

  • I like Seedlings, but Sprouts would be cool as well :D

    And the person who said Eddbuds. YES.

  • Eddlings. Yes.

  • Whose your inspiration?

  • Question for Question Friday: Have you ever had a family member die? If so, do you have any suggestions on how to deal with it?

  • What is your favorite flavour of jelly bean? Also, eddheads. As "egghead" is directed at people considered too out-of-touch with ordinary people (werid) and too lacking in realism (have big dreams), common sense, etc. on account of their intellectual interests. Yep, that's us =)

  • Seedlings

  • I think seedlings is an adorbz name....although it did conjur up images of an Alan Titmarsh fan club :S

  • I think the grain may be dancing... 

  • @audiblewallpaper I second that vote. Edd's Plants

  • Are you going to see Math the Band on their UK tour?

  • I just voted for you 20 times because of my earned votes. WOO.

  • Favorite song?

    Favorite artist?

  • eddlings is cute, I dont mind being called a seedling either though.

    but I think you should call us "katie" cause thats my name, and that would not only make me feel cool and important, but also, i think, be pretty fraking funny.

  • I'm just impressed with your use of 'whom'. Nice grammar, dude. I can't imagine that is a compliment regularly delivered...

  • Ed's plants

  • Questions: 1.What made you want to start making videos on youtube? 2. What results did you get in your GCSEs/ A-levels? 3. (It's number 2 is too personal) How did you find GCSE's/ A-levels. 4. What's your idea of a perfect date? 5. Favorite band/artist? (Not from Youtube) 6. Favorite book? 7. What news paper do you read? - If any. 8. What do you want for Christmas? 9. Favorite place to eat? 10. Favorite McDonalds meal? Sorry if these questions are annoying! Hope I helped!
  • Seedlings seems weird to me, like we came from you and that's strange because we did and yet we didn't. Although if we had a website like the Vlogbrothers "my pants" it could be like the vegetable patch or something.

    I do like the eddlings and eddbuds.

    I'm personally fine with like viewers or watchers, it's old school but it works.

  • Who's your favorite doctor, and companion?

    and I like the name Eddheads

  • What has been the proudest moment of your life so far? Do you think any music is 'special' just because of the event you relate it with? If you could eat only one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?

    Also, I like Eddlings or Eddheads :)

  • Comment removed

  • What re your thoughts on the new season of doctor who?

  • Tips on vlogging?

  • May I just say I appreciate the use of the word 'whom' in the title. It's such a neglected word.

    Anyways, I associate 'seedlings' with trees, nature and greenness more than music and Edd-ness. I can't think of another name, though, the only thing That came to mind was 'victoria sponge' so yep. I should probably sleep.

  • Would you say that being a British youtuber is easier/harder than being an american one? What I mean is do you feel that perhaps American youtubers get more opertunities and support than British ones?

  • We could be Eddplant and his loyal Eggplants :)

  • Yeah, I like being a seedling it's so cute and fitting :) it's like we're your little minions or something.

    Q: how/when did you meet Tom Milsom & what was your first impression of him?

  • I really like Eddheads!! I feel like a baby or like I'm being talked down to if you call me a seedling

  • What made you interested in music in the first place?

  • I think seedlings reflect us as a whole fan base and you as a musician/ youtuber pretty well. It is adorable but then, so are you...

  • But I'm going to repeat one of mine. Will Car Crash ever be returning to a download state? I STILL have an incomplete version of "Smoke and Mirrors" :/

  • Hmm, I feel like a seedling would be good for new subscribers. I didn't mind being a seedling, but I've been around awhile as have many others. I feel like a full grown plant now :P I'm horrible at coming up with names though.

    And a question, hmm, *looks at others* oh man, some of these you should do so you can refer back to the video the next gazillion times you get asked them.

    

  • I like being a seedling.

  • Would you rather have bacon arms or bacon legs (given the bacon can regenerate infinitely, but isn't useful as a limb).

    What are some of your strongest memories? Happiest? Earliest?

  • What was your favorite thing to study in school?

  • Seedling makes a bit of sense with respect to your name thingy, and it is quite unique, but it is a bit sticky-sweet. I'm not really sure that's bad exactly but I suppose it's a bit weird. Eddlings is a tad less so, though Eddlings sounds a tad narcissistic. Then again, it's a name for your YouTube viewers so it's inherently all about you in this scenario so narcissism is unavoidable.

  • I think Seedlings is brilliant, as we're watching your life and, I suppose, growing alongside you.

    Which musician/group has had the most influence on your music?
