Maybe now would be a good time to mention that Etho doesn’t technically join hermitcraft until after the start of Double Life… which means. Yeah dbhc Etho is still in reset-mode for the entirety of Double Life (this is about equally upsetting as it is genuinely hilarious)
(Despite being explicitly told not to force Etho to re-deviate by Xisuma and Doc, and after roughly a month of no luck, I’m sure you can imagine the impatience and desperation that went into Bdubs’ decision to sign Etho up for the next life series, considering the last one was the last time Bdubs really saw Etho. Or. As himself anyway.)
the joel iskall dynamic is so excellent to me personally its like they both want the other to be obsessed with them desperately but instead of just saying it they passive aggressively try to out-meangirl the other. i hope they never stop it’s delightful
The Statue Saga. Edited all on my phone so excuse the choppy footage.
Joel: I'm going to make these so ugly that no one is going to like them, then blame it all on Etho. That'll get him!
Bdubs, Skizz & Mumbo: This is spectacular, amazing, breathtaking. I love it. I'm never taking this statue down.
I cut most of the actual building of the statues out since I wanted to move so focus on the reactions but if you want to see the actual building process I've written the timestamp below. Also there are more scenes that I probably missed or chose not to include so here are some more timestamps. I highly recommend you to check the videos/streams out for yourself.
Someone needs to put Joel and etho in a room together so they can sort out whatever is wrong with them because I never thought I'd say this but it is beginning to be too much
Im literally a fool. A joke of an etho girl. I was so certain he had built the statues. He literally said he wants to try and make other hermits in the same style. But alas. I should have known better. Etho is so good at lying. He would have had me fooled if it was him. I have come to the conclusion that while he is a great liar, he is horrible at telling the truth. It always sounds like he is badly lying. I cannot tell when to take him seriously ... I am doomed to never believe the truth and always fall for his lies. So many thoughts about this...
okay im sorry but i think its so funny that when the statues started popping up everyone was making fun of etho and being so sure that he was just poorly lying about not making the statues only for joel to post his video like "teehee it was actually me :3"
as an aroace person who sees other aspec people get frustrated with the lack of nonromantic relationships being represented as anything other than sibling, I grant you: hermit relationships
Grian & Pearl: siblings, actually
Pearl & Scott: platonic
Cleo & Scott: queerplatonic
Jimmy & Tango: romantic
Grian & Scar: sexual but like they turned Complicated pretty fast lets be real
