/ INCOHERENT RAMBLING BUT;; I was scrolling down my notes and I found tucked under there this one thing I don’t remember having talked about (or maybe i did but i dont remember) which is the theme of ‘king asleep in the mountain/king under the mountain/sleeping hero’ as a popular folklore telling found in diff legends and folktales, where basically it talks about how a legendary figure has never really died but are instead in a sort of ‘asleep’ state or sealed somewhere (not necessarily under a mountain) and who will one day return when its land need them the most; examples of this type of folklore telling including of course Contantine XI as the marble emperor, whom was rumored to not have actually died during the fall of Constantinople and who was instead, saved by an angel and turned into marble. In this way, he would remain hidden beneath the golden gate of Constantinople awaiting to ‘reconquer both the city and the old empire’ .
Besides Constantine, some popular examples also include king Arthur Pendragon (in the version of Geoffrey of Monmouth, king arthur faces Mordred and is deadly wounded and sent to Avalon to recover from his wounds, from where briton traditions mention that one day Arthur would return from there as the once and future king). Other examples include amongst many; Fionn Mac Cumhaill, Merlin, Charlemagne, king David, John the evangelist, Francis Drake, King David, Vishnu etc etc.
I dunno where i’m going with this but it just popped inside my head like popcorn in a microwave and thought that it could be interesting if these legendary figures (whom the majority mentioned earlier -are- in f.go to the exception of John and Vishnu) had a dialogue involving this topic

one thing about Joel Smallishbeans is that he's always giggling. I think most people overlook this in the fandom because most of the time his delivery is just so deadpan and sarcastic, but its when he's doing a bit with another person you can always hear him loudly giggling in between sentences trying not to break character. He is ESPECIALLY prone to doing this with Etho. Its so damn cute it makes me insane and I think more people deserve to notice this!!

online harassment campaigns are genuinely terrifying and part of why they're terrifying is that they make you feel like you're going insane—especially if they're false, frame you maliciously on purpose or blow things wayy out of proportion—because like. asides from it feeling really fucking bad due to the aforementioned tide of toxic sludge coming your way all at once, you genuinely start to doubt your perception of reality because surely this isn't... right? surely people can tell this isn't real/there's no way this kind of reaction is warranted or deserved, right?
if any of your friends ever go through that the single most helpful thing you can do is reach out to them & be like "jesus christ these people are nuts, are you okay?" PLEASE do, even privately if you're afraid of being dragged in. they'll never thank you enough, it's a literal life raft for their sanity

I HAVE REALIZED SOMETHING.
So. For people who are not Ethoslab watchers, in his most recent episode he showed off these beautiful statues Joel supposedly made of Etho in front of his house.
I figured Joel built them, and it seems Etho did too, because he sent Joel a message via mail about them.
This note... honestly surprised me a bit? I didn't think much of it at first, but the tone of it felt out of place. Obviously these two have this ongoing bit of being obsessed with each other, and they've done nothing recently but yes-and to the sun about it. This note seems to almost shut this bit down, saying "this bit hasn't gone too far yet, because I'm showing this on camera, but it's getting there." Which is a possible explanation for this note! But considering all they've done recently it feels very sudden.
And then. Joel claimed to not have built the statues. "Oh," I thought. "Joel is claiming not to have built the statues because he doesn't want to seem obsessed." Makes sense. Or maybe he *didn't* build the statues and someone is pranking them. That also makes sense.
But it was only when watching Joel talk about it on Impulse's stream, when I heard Joel say "honestly, I think Etho might have done it," that it clicked.
Oh.
This motherfucker.
He 100% did. That's why the message is so weird. Ethoslab built statues of himself outside Joel's base, messaged him via mail saying "that's kinda weird bro" and then DIDN'T EVER REVEAL THAT HE BUILT THEM. Oh my god THIS MAN...
From Etho's audience's perspective it just looks like Joel was continuing being obsessed with Etho, as usual, just another example in a long list. But *Joel* knows he didn't do that and *Etho* knows Joel will figure out who did. This mischievous motherfucker. Oh my godddd I hate them. Listening to him read back the note with that little smile in his voice. I am unwell. Why are they LIKE this
