Mmmmm some angsty Patho and Dbubs for @aquaquadrant bday (that was a while ago but I’m SLOW) ???

Based off the bit from ~ THIS FIC ~

he’ll leave without warning in the middle of the night, while dbubs is sleeping, because trying to leave while dbubs is awake never ends well. he’ll leave without a word and try not to think about the frantic whispers he knows dbubs sends him on lonely nights, despite knowing patho will never receive them

Bonus!! Close ups~!

#THE AAAAAANGST #god ur so good at drawing angst mel #poor dbubs....

HELLO YAGO !!! first, im in love with the au and im so glad its back second, you said that everyone started to treat etho 'like he's an expensive vase in a museum', but was he in fact so fragile? should he really 've been more careful? first question that came to my mind while i was reading the post also hugs and kisses and yayy recks au

HI HI HI HI HIIIII !!!!!!!!!!!! im glad you're loving the au 🥺

and well, after getting his big prosthetic i wouldn't say etho was fragile, but physically he was in a weaker state for sure, yes.

after such a long and complicated surgery his body needed time to adjust and heal properly, which meant etho had to rest a lot and everyone made sure to remind him of that every chance they got. the prosthetic also did indeed need time to set in, and etho had to stay in the hospital for a while just in case something malfunctioned.

really its all the "oh you can't stay up late your body needs sleep", "oh you can't sit like that what if the prosthetic didn't take properly yet", "no you can't eat that you need to start with simpler foods", "are you drinking clear water? are you sure this water is filtered?" that really got him. it made him feel weak and fragile and stupid with everyone so worried "for no reason" constantly.

and, yknow, etho was on his own most his life, not used to such amounts of care, especially when its unwanted. so the whole experience was very jarring. and mentally it put him in a bad place. and being in a bad place makes it hard to focus in extreme situations.

so him signing up for that race and tripping wasn't just on a whim stupid decision, there were definitely reasons. but there were also other ways to deal with the stress and situation in general...

#really that whole period was just #etho 🤝 bad decisions

[opalwhisker]

ouuuhhhg my god recks etho is so,,,,, chefs his whole design and concept is so damn cool,,,,, are there any other little facts about him? id love to learn more about the creature ever,,

heheh thank you!!!!

okay actually, this ask made me realize a couple of things. while scrolling searching for what would be considered a little fact about him, i realized that the way i draw etho is actually how he looked 10-15 years from the "current time" of the au. im just too used to drawing him young 😔

so i guess your fact for today is that etho should look like this. not too different but still

#haha old

[opalwhisker]

i need to know what happened to his eye can 'the next time' be now pretty please :3c

he fell..... on a rock..............

jokes aside tho (i mean he did lose his eye to a rock but there's some more context to it), there's such thing as Horse Head Farms (later referred to as hhf) if anyone remembers what that is, and in recks au those guys host races across the desert, which is a good way to Get Rich Quick if you can win.

and, you remember that big vitally important prosthetic etho got? well, he was able to get it of course, his life depended on it, but it also put him in some serious debt. nothing unmanageable of course, the health system provides some good insurance programs and generally helps a lot of its patients as best as it can etc etc, but etho is etho, he can't just be like everyone else. he can't just be normal.

after spending some time recovering from the surgery and getting used to the prosthetic and his new lifestyle, etho was feeling a but uhmm irritated. because suddenly everyone treats him like he's an expensive vase in a museum and he has to be careful around everyone and everything and oh he's so fragile. and that annoys him. a lot. and there's probably some hormonal stuff involved after the surgery but who cares about that stuff. point being, etho is not feeling good and he wants to do something fun and dangerous.

so he signs up for a hhf race, on his hoverboard, not yet fully recovered, quite rusty, against people with better equipment, in the middle of a scorching rocky desert...... i mean, have i mentioned that he's actually very smart?

well, one thing after another, he gets bumped or just trips or something and goes flying, lands on a rock, boom bam eye gone. (he lost the race also but that was pretty obvious)

tango was also participating in that race, also on a hoverboard (tho tango is much better on it), so he reported etho to the emergency team, plus he and etho were able to meet after not seeing each other for yeeeaars, admittedly tho it was a pretty embarrassing time for etho to meet anyone.

he's fiiine tho, he had to walk around with an eyepatch for a bit but he got the prosthetic eventually.

wear helmets kids 👍

#etho continuing his streak of Bad Decisions #at least it got him to reconnect with tango tho so they can work through all THEIR shit
