Sometimes boys will be boys just means a guy will make a very long and difficult trip through the nether without elytras and a stack of diamonds just to be knighted by one of his friends and out of spite because his other friend didn't believe he could do it.
Etho is explaining his set up more. The dirt is his mouse (horizontal to his keyboard). The crafting bench is his tissue box/mic. The bamboo slabs at the bottom are his keyboard. The diagonal bamboo planks are his arms. The planks where Tango and Etho are standing are Etho. His desk is also at shoulder level

Warnings: Self-consciousness, lmk if I should add any more!

Etho stared at the twin statues in front of Joel's base with confusion, and a bit of embarrassment. It's not that they weren't good! They were cool, very accurate. He looked down at his coat and then back up to the statues. Very accurate.
But- well- The thing was, that Etho and Joel both knew the obsession thing was a joke, and this was- an escalation. He stared at the statues for another minute, feeling his face grow red under his mask. It was flattering, honestly, or it should be but he just felt-
Self-conscious? No that's not quite right. Imposter syndrome was close, but still not right.
He just felt that- well maybe he personally wasn't deserving of two giant statues of him in front of Joel's base. There were hermits who looked way cooler than him and would look far better as statues than him, especielly in front of Joel's base.
Etho sighed and turned around. He'd shoot Joel a letter later and the statues would come down and he could replace them with much cooler ones.

Etho started at the twin statues in front of his base and realised that sending the letter perhaps hadn't conveyed how he felt about the statues. The two statues of himself stared back at him, unblinking.
He heard fireworks sound off and then Joel was standing next to him.
"They look great outside your base," Joel said, grinning. Etho attempted a smile, and hoped it reached his eyes. The statues were fine! Whoever made them had done a good job making them look like Etho, the problem was that- well- they looked like Etho.
"The resemblance is uncanny," Etho replied, staring at the statues. He could see Joel turn to face him.
"Yeah, and they look great." Joel repeated, staring him down. Unblinking, like the statues. (Etho should make Joel statues, he'd probably like them. Hopefully)
"Well I mean," Etho sputtered, looking away. He felt uncomfortable- embarrassed. "They've got this ugly mug on them." Etho joked, but it felt a little too real. He cleared his throat.
Joel was still staring at him. "Admit it," Joel told him, narrowing his eyes. "Admit it, they look great."
Etho stuttered a bit, looking away and shuffling his feet. "Come on Joel-" He mumbled, turning away. Joel grabbed his sleeves.
"Just admit it! They look great because you look great." Joel insisted, shaking Etho's sleeve. Etho blushed, not because of the compliment but because Joel was getting so- so- aggressively kind. His stomach flip flopped.
"They look great," Etho finally said, looking towards that statues.
"Yeah, they do. Not that I'm obsessed with you or anything." Joel replied, rolling his eyes and flying away.
Etho laughed a bit to himself, looking at the statues again. Maybe they looked okay.
Etho immediately choosing Decked Out 2 (+Tango's reaction)
xBCrafted's Season 10 Episode 17 Hermit Q&A
xB: So, question number three. What has been your favourite project, build, and/or event since joining HermitCraft?
Etho: That I did? Or that other people did?
xB: Uh, just, whatever. Whatever you...y'know, your favourite. Just, whatever.
Etho: Oh, that's gotta be Decked Out 2, then.
xB: Okay. (laughs)
Etho: (laughs) Easy answer!
xB: I mean, you only played it a little, though...
Etho: Ahh, it was a few months. A few months of my life, there. Got a little bit involved.
xB: (laughs) A couple minutes, here and there, you know.
Etho: Yeah.
xB: I know how you are. No. (laughs)
----
xB: I feel like your answer is gonna be the same as Etho's.
Tango: Oh, did he say Decked Out?
xB: Yes he did. (laughs)
Tango: Ohhhh, my hero! Yeah, Decked Out is definitely my answer. Slam dunk.
xB: I was like, 'Yeah, what do you mean? You only played, like, a little bit...'
(both laugh)
Tango: Well, that -- Honestly, the fact that he said that, means -- means everything to me. That's great, that he values it that high. That's great. That's great.
xB: Oh, yeah, yeah. He was like, he was like, 'That's easy. Decked Out 2.' I was like, 'Okay!' (laughs)
Tango: (laughs) Fantastic. Good! Good!
I was thinking about the DHP, if Grian wants to add to the (torture), I mean, realness of his building. He should add a line, that never moves on. You are just there in the sun for God knows how many hours, and when you finally are inside the building, another line.
Maybe add a website of the DHP, but never works or the next available date appointment is in three years.
Do you want to make it more insufferable? You are always missing something. "The requeriments ask for three copies of the permit" "You need a proof of adress" "We requeried three witness to finish this process"
