I’ve been following Etho for ten years and Joe Hills for maybe ten months, so a proper Joe Hills guy might have a different read—but to me they have equal and opposite energies as characters/personas/performers. They are both Just Normal Guys who are also Baffling Cryptids; but Etho is a faceless, bodiless entity who can cause colleagues and fans alike to pop their monocles and clutch their pearls by revealing mundane details about his physical reality (He eats sandwiches! He grows stubble! He experiences local wildlife! Stop, no more, my heart can’t take it!)

But Joe Hills of Nashville Tennessee, meanwhile, has built his whole persona around being...I’d say “uncompromisingly present.” The fourth wall is his canvas, his own self is the paint. Tune into a stream of his and you’ll likely be met with his giant, transparent, real life face imposed over the screen as he regales chat about his time at a local pinball tournament or the troubles of renting in Nashville

They are both weird little guys who’ve been around forever and don’t give a damn what the current prevailing wisdom has to say about how to run a gaming channel. And they’ve started crossing paths more and more, ever since TCG and DO2 and HC Vault Hunters—and for my small part I’ve found it wildly compelling!

Because—ok. Etho’s default mode in one-on-one collabs is to let the other person pick the play, and then back it. Figure out what the bit is and go along with it. Harmonize and amplify—which is how we got slapfights with Gem in the Decked Out lobby as well as “the ship burns, everything burns.” Meanwhile Joe’s improv comfort zone, to my eye at least, appears to lie upstream of whatever’s “expected.” He delights in the odd and surprising, he’s gleefully contrary, he’s helpful and wholesome, he’s a pain in the ass. King of malicious compliance, Joe Hills

A lot of their in-person interactions prior to the current season felt a bit like their cryptid energies cancelled each other out, leaving two Very Normal Guys having friendly if light conversation and being generally accommodating (the best example I can think of is Joe’s HC VH episode where Etho joined him on a cursed vault run). I suspect it’s because Etho was trying to defer to Joe to set the tone and pick the bit, while Joe was waiting for Etho to pick a direction so he could provide friction by running counter to it—so the banter never actually had a chance to start. That said! Both of them separately are charismatic performers who are very good at what they do, so even without a chemical reaction between them they manage to put on a good show…but imagine. Imagine if they DID have that reaction…

And that’s why the stonefrog deal is so fascinating to me—Joe Hills and Etho have a Bit now. A dynamic. A place where banter could theoretically happen. And that dynamic has gone through several tone shifts since Joe decided to lightly menace Etho by making the delivered stone shulkers spell out “Ethowo”

And again! It’s not like this is a major plot line in either of their videos! It pops up often on stream, but only because Joe spends most of his time there putting mountains into shulkers, and gets a lot of questions as to why he doesn’t just use TNT. It’s not a big deal…and yet. And yet!

did a rewatch of episode 8 and found something to fuel my imogen and sahar brainrot???

the song that sahar and the band play is just like heaven by the cure (i love!!!) and i found the particular section of lyrics the crew chose for them to be playing during imogen approaching sahar to be quite interesting:

also fun fact before we get into this the lyric is actually “daylight licked me into shape” so uh. netflix on the very unlikely occasion that you see this post—

OKAY SO. “daylight kicked me into shape” daylight being a metaphor for imogen’s attraction to girls/romantic feelings for sahar and the full lyric line indicating her realizations that she feels something different with sahar. “i must’ve been asleep for days” referring to her previously thinking she was straight or attracted to guys exclusively.

“and moving lips to breathe her name” again, potentially indicating imogen’s romantic feelings towards sahar, as she's the one imogen has her attention on in this scene. “i opened up my eyes” judging by the way the camera cuts to sahar following said lyric, that she likes sahar!! and it could lead back to her realization that she is not just An Ally (TM), she’s queer!!

and once again shoutout to the lighting in the colors of the lesbian flag <3333

Not gonna lore them yet and I wanna do better drawings of em

But I had to stake my claim in the slugcat oc domain before my baby becomes obsolete

So hello, this is the Beacon, a bioluminescent scug from the Shaded Citadel who migrated to my iterator oc’s city (will be posted soon)

Beacon can throw flashbangs from their antenna and tail. They can also use their antenna to lure small bugs to eat by transferring all their light to it

They’re awful at hiding lmao

Uhh silly au go woo!!!

Basic idea : catnap but he’s now a little magical dream being that can go into the critters dreams and help them out when they’re having nightmares and such (like princess luna but with cinderella’s grandmother aesthetics)

( lil comic under the cut!! :D )

#they’re very silly to me #catnap #dogday #art #smiling critters au #idk what to call this au yett #but i think its neat #all of the crittters wear jammies and they just sorta vibe #with catnap just kinda being a sorta mystery to them #oh yeah lil funfact bout him #his lil moon pendant glows whenever a critter is having a nightmare #and his little smoke trail thing is all red n stuff ish #this au is just mostly fluff stuff

There are two things involving Shockwave and Elita-1 I’d really love to see in a transformers series (they are not compatible):

1. Them being absolutely enemies. Elita and Shockwave hate each other. They got like 4 billion years of extra war between them and they cannot stand even the sight of one another. Optimus and Megatron wish they hated each other as much as Shockwave and Elita do. They should get to be silly, terrible rivals at least once, please <3

2. Shockwave and Elita-1 ending the war on Cybertron and for a more crack version of this getting together too. Genuinely I’d be so into a series where like Optimus and Megatron establish communication back with Cybertron and the war is just over. Even funnier the war is over and their respective romantic partners are now married
