gg buddy am I right (ethubs doodle that I don't know what to do with)

#ethubs #Ive wanted to draw ethubs angst for so many days but art block is still hitting hard and this thing has been sitting around for awhile #hey ethubers how did you. survive #last life ethubs upsets me so much make it end #The way after Bdubs dies Etho is trying to justify to himself not having given him a life to begin with rather than #telling him to prove himself #its like he expects the others who are with him to comment on it but they dont. Etho's all "I couldn't have just given it to him you know..#without them asking about it or anything. And Etho just keeps going. god damn it Etho I feel so bad for them #dont even get me started on what Bdubs said to G about Etho grrrr GRRRR I saw that for the first time not long ago GRRRRRR #I still wanna draw proper ethubs though. someday #also the damage to Bdubs' face is supposed to be from the rocket Lizzie shot #does it make sense? No probably not but its an excuse to make him look more dead #tubby art

I just think it's so interesting the way Bdubs gets serious and turns on Gem the second she makes a threat to Etho

#he wants Etho to give Cleo up but more than that he wants to protect Etho. wants him to win #“you remember what I said I would do for you and this is what you do in my face?”#bdubs must ask himself what is the difference between him and cleo. that etho would protect her and have them fail #but even when bdubs hands him all his loyalty its not returned with the same fierceness #secret life spoilers #ethoslab #bdouble0 #zombiecleo #geminitay #trafficblr

[i.d: a screenshot of a death message from the hermitcraft chat. it reads "impulseSV was poked to death by a sweet berry bush while trying to escape impulseSV". /end id]

#hermitcraft 10 #hermitcraft #impulsesv #seen in bdubs latest episode with the trees for context #well. some context. not a lot really #edit: like not even 5 minutes later impulse blows himself up with fireworks #guys who love to die for any reason

having a normal one watching Bdubs lim life tonight and thinking about how when Bdubs betrayed Tango in last life, Skizz told Tango that for the sake of team best he had to go and forgive him.

But when Bdubs boogey kills Skizz in lim life before team ties is even really formed, Skizz is allowed to have it out for Bdubs for almost the entire first half of the season, even when the clockers ally with them and it would've been easier to let sleeping dogs lie.

Tango, the perpetually extraneous and undervalued member of his alliances...the too often shoved aside and betrayed...being told it was his duty to the team to forgive bdubs and move on....

But no one—especially not Tango—tried to tell Skizz to let it go.

#and like. now im thinking about how no one is ever really ride or die for tango. ever #people are allied with him but no one PRIORITIZES him #as a team rancher fan myself id be tempted to argue Jimmy is but you can just as easily point to how that was in a way self serving #and I dont just mean with the soulmate mechanic so worrying about tango was worrying about himself for jimmy #but i mean it in the way of jimmy was so worried about tango because #jimmy was worried about HIMSELF being the thing that hindered him and dragged him down #whihc is not to say that jimmy didnt also worry about tango #but it is to say that the dl rule set played heavily on jimmys insecurities and fears #he was most of the time worried about himself. YES because of how that affected tango. but also because it served his guilt complex #and so his intentions were colored by that as someone whos incredibly willing to make himself the problem whenevr he sees fit #whihc is again nothing on him hes my fave ya know i love the guy #i just mean even in double life where by design it shouldve happened tango wasnt made anyones top priority #not in the way that we come to see it across many other pairs. not in the obsessive worrying about his safety #or just in the general Being Weird About Each Other Way #sure you could argue skizz and tango last life...tango was for a while skizzs priority—until skizz shifted his sights to team best #even when team best wasnt giving their all backt o him that was skizzs focus #and if tango were really his priority over the wellbeing of the team such as it was for bdubs and etho #skizz wouldnt have tried to make tango forgive bdubs after he was betrayed #skizz wouldnt have kept asking tango to give more and more to a team he got little if not nothing out of over and over.....just #GAH! NO ONES EVER DEVOTED TO TANGO!!! NO ONE EVER CHOOSES TANGO TO BE THEIR //PERSON// THEIR. HES NEVER SOMEONES TOP PRIORITY #again im nto saying teh ranchers werent devoted to each other you know i love them more than anything in the whole world #i just mean. not in exactly the way i mean....#and not completely when jimmy was so (understadnably) preoccupied with trying not to carry on his curse again #especially while attached to someone else #worm says

I was watching this ethubs megacut video and it's composed of LL clips and there's a part after... I think Tango? maybe? blows up the middle tower in their fortress that Bdubs says smth like "We can always rebuild" and Etho replied "I'm done building" and like. do I need to explain the metaphors you can make out of this. they're making me ill again

#ethoslab #bdubs #ethubs #ecstra explosions #liksten. listen it's just.#he really doesn't; y'know?#he doesn't build anymore- relatiinship wise; which is what I'm going for here #at least not with Bdubs #bear with me here before you go calling me crazy #even when Etho reaches out to Bdubs he can never bring himself to fully build that bridge #in double life he tried to get Bdubs to see hey; I want this bridge built; a castle with me has better walls than one with him #but those walls are so thick he's forgotten how to let anyone through #and when Bdubs says he's happy with Impulse Etho knows there's no way to build that bridge #and then in lim life Bdubs builds *so much* of that bridhe for them #it's so many moments but 'it'll still be you and me' (and etho never says yes) encompasses it best I think #Bdubs spends all of Lim life building that bridge between them; but Etho would have had to build that last connection #but Etho's done building #but *NOW* in SL Etho built a house with Cleo; and he's building again- he built a bridge with Grian and one with Cleo #and Bdubs said he'd fail for him. Bdubs asked 'oh; Etho?' when Cleo asked abt his boyfriend.#but ultimately Etho looks at bdubs and can only see that broken fortress #and in the end he never says me too #sorry sorry went on a tangent. sorray

I joined a mcyt rp server as Ross Redstoner and he immediately got rescued by Bdubs so now I am incredibly amused by their friendship

#<my art>#hermitcraft #yourpalross #bdubs #bdoubleo100 #redstoner #< technically even if it isnt obvious from just the drawing #old mcyt #og mcyt #ross has dubbed bdubs the green sun cause bdubs immediately called himself a sun cause of empires stuff #currently ross is passed out in the monolith. bdubs made a blanket for him

im in trafficblr of course i love comparing characters to dogs but whenever it’s jimmy it feels evil

#I think it’s just bc of scott calling him a lost puppy in 3l #and that one new life scott stream clip where he compares jimmy to a pet in an insane way #and then scott saying martyn’s ‘adopted a replacement dog’ when he’s teamed with bdubs in SL after jimmy died #i love the way scott talks about jimmy thats what this account is for. for me to talk about how much I love the way scott talks about jimmy #bree barks so fucking loud #all said lightheartedly btw comparing jimmy to a dog is like a natural state of things. He does it to himself even #Hm

Need to draw more etho taking care of sickly bdubs. For me

#<- has been having horrific migraines #It wldnt be pissing me off as much as it is if it wasn't during my DAYS OFF #I want bdubs to lay across Etho's lap and be miserable and extremely annoying abt it #But ONLY after he worked himself half to death pretending he was fine #And even then afterwards he'll pretend it never happened bc his health is always perfect

It is interesting to think- what was the plan at the end of double life? Was there always supposed to be one winner, or would two people have won? I wonder what other pairings winning double life would have looked like

#I have. like. ideas #I think g would have let scar win #impulse and bdubs would win together but I think bdubs would try to end himself so impulse could have all the glory #ren and BigB def would have just been like !!!!!!!#Etho and Joel…… I’m not sure #Martyn and Cleo…. also not sure- maybe they’d just bicker and punch each other to death by accident #I can’t even imagine what Jimmy and tango would have looked like I’m sorry but they were always doomed 💀#speak up dm

i am so normal about bdubs and impulse actually. usually bdubs focuses on defence and fortification, but this time he wants to focus on just uilding a pretty house. and maybe impulse made him realise there are more important things than just survival (especially after last season). HELLO???? HI?????? CAN U HEAR ME ????????????????

#bdubs #impulse #double life #double life spoilers #life spoilers #going insane #they just are so #like last season… with etho #and even the crastle #he built a house to keep his partner safe #but like #this time lives are shared #so there is less need to protect them if he is being reckless himself #so maybe he just wants to enjoy his time with his soulmate #while he still has it #(unlike last season)#SORRY!!! not sorry #i care them

thinking about. friendship as an obligation. and a clock as a handcuff. and bdubs as an actor. selflessness to the point of commodification. a man can love and be loved and also be a tool to be used at his friends’ disposal. i am tied to you and this is my purpose: i go to bed and i keep us safe.

#does this. make sense #where is the megabuild post about etubs and shields #because that is also this #this isnt even to say that this is how bdubs is viewed #but more or less how bdubs views himself and his character and his purpose as that character

Etho doodles in which I let my inner dinosaur nerd take over 😔 and also have no idea how to shade

Get it cause he's old and washed up haha... ok but actual raptor Etho hybrid justification below cut

To be honest the main reason was because I really wanted a hybrid in the mix who wasn't some furry creature and a reptile or amphibian or smth instead. Etho still ended up feathered but whatever it's close enough! But for ACTUAL reasoning:

He does feel damn ancient, like an old deity of the mcyt space that no one can dislike. Dinosaurs are the same!! They're old but still thought of with great fascination and fondness, everyone loves dinosaurs...

Dinosaurs are ever so mysterious, as many advancements as we make there's still so much we don't know. Just as we know jackshit about mister Kakashi skin man. Also, there are so many incomplete skeletons out there. I didn't have a particular species in mind for Etho, because where's the mystery in that? He can be one of those 5% skeleton 95% speculation dinosaurs like this guy!! Missing jaw and all

"I'm a runner, not a protector" - so, a raptor, or more specifically the Dromaeosauridae family, which literally has "running/runner" in its name

But! I'm always a fan of stuff going against its nature, especially in this case! Etho states he's not a runner yet protects his allies rather fiercely even in total silence. Eg refusing to kill Cleo in SL or to give away Tango's location during the LimL manhunt, same for Grian in SL. He was a bit flaky in 3L I think? And he only started to have genuine care for allies in LL with Bdubs? Though he is still very much a runner in many cases like during the LL Wither fight. Research also strongly suggests that most if not all raptors were solitary hunters, and the way I see Etho (through my shamefully limited watchtime of his POVs...) he feels a lot like someone who ultimately only trusts himself at the start even if he's pleasant and allying with others, and doesn't seem to think he can carry his weight in groups though he doesn't voice this a lot. That's just how Etho is, very composed, but it feels like there's an insecurity there, showcased especially in SL but again I haven't seen almost any of his POVs in full so maybe I'm talking out of my ass!! Sorry ethogirls I'm only a sidegig ethogirl myself... But yeah tldr to me he gives off the vibe of an otherwise solitary animal struggling to find 100% sure footing in a pack. In whichever ways he does go against his nature, its not usually made a show of

At the mention of a raptor, a lot of people will probably think of the glamourized Jurassic Park Velociraptors. But those awesome guys from the movies are actually the size of chickens. In general though, dinosaurs tend to be a bit.. exaggerated in media, despite how inherently fascinating they already are. And I think it fits Etho because we all know how the Lifers seem to fear and mancrush on him when he's just some dork with perfect capability to become pathetic at a moment's notice. Still, he's a clearly skilled player and still respected without question Etho's not some killer machine like some people make dinosaurs out to be. He's just a fellow creature fulfilling his role in the ecosystem 👍

dinosaurs are cool

The hook-like sickle claws on the feet... something something fishing rod

I swear I'm not turning all my Lifers into hybrids I'm not!! Still plenty normal humans in the mix I swear....... But Etho is such a radical dude, I really wanted to do something more for him. The whole Kitsune thing that I often see associated with him is really cool. I don't actually know the reasoning for it but I assume something something naruto, but also, him being this ancient mythical cryptid who people know so little about, you know? It makes SO much sense. So anyway I turned him into a dinosaur instead rawr

As a herbivore advocate I also considered stuff like the triceratops (known for how they protect themselves and their own) but nah the raptor symbolism...

So so excited to share my @mcytblrholidayexchange gift for @follow-the-compass-home! My concept was to combine a bunch of prompts together into one AU.

The premise is a modern-fantasy roommate situation where Tango, Bdubs, and Etho live together in an apartment. The only issue is that none of them are human, but they're all trying desperately to blend in, even though they don't really understand humanity as a concept.

More information can be found below the cut, and an introductory fic snippet can be found here (x)!

Downstairs Neighbors AU

Prompts used as inspiration:

Focus on Tango, Etho, and Bdubs

Include Boatem

Story told from Grian's perspective

Hybrid/inhuman AU

Angst with a happy ending

Emphasis on character dynamics

Here's a summary!!!

Tango, Etho, and Bdubs found each other by looking for roommates on Craigslist. They live in a 4-bedroom apartment together.

Tango is a spirit who wanted to interact with the world in a physical sense, so he built himself a body. He's basically just a ghost possessing an android (but unlike ghosts, he was never alive; he came into being as a fully-formed spirit). He doesn't adhere to normal bodily necessities like food, water, or sleep, which is convenient but also heavily concerning from an outsider's perspective.

Etho is a specific kind of shapeshifter called a mimic. He doesn't have a true form, but can copy the shape and mannerisms of most living creatures. The only constant across all of his appearances is a scarred left eye and white hair. Unfortunately, it takes practice to nail specific species characteristics, so he often forgets what he's supposed to look like and falls into uncanny valley. He wears a mask to cover his more noticable facial slipups.

Bdubs is some sort of plant creature (he doesn't really understand it himself). He has a perfect internal clock and sleeps, without fail, for 12 hours every night. He spends a lot of time in the unoccupied bedroom-- he uses it as a makeshift greenhouse, and it's filled with grow lights and humidifiers. He loves taking care of houseplants, but it's also a cover for him to spend time under the grow lights. Without enough light & water he gets lethargic.

Bdubs, Etho, and Tango, henceforth referred to as BET, all assume that the others are human. But since none of them know how to act human, they continuously pick up stranger and stranger habits from each other.

BET are close friends with Impulse & Skizzleman, who live together across the hall. Their upstairs neighbors are Grian, Pearl, Mumbo, and Scar, who are also besties with Imp & Skizz. BET and Boatem don't know each other well, but Grian especially thinks his neighbors are really odd.

Like BET, Grian is not human, and neither are the rest of his roommates. But they all know about each other, and Grian especially is really good at knowing how to act natural in public places. He's an avian shapeshifter, who can take the form of either a scarlet macaw or a human. Unlike Etho, both forms come equally naturally to Grian, and the shapeshifting process is a lot easier for him.

(Imp & Skizz are not human either-- they are a demon and an angel respectively. But, like Grian, they're really good at blending in when in public.)

One day, Grian gets injured on a flight and accidentally ends up on BET's balcony instead of his own. He's too disoriented to shift back into his human form or fly away, so Bdubs and Etho find him outside their door. Tango calls Impulse over in the hopes that he knows how to fix the random-injured-parrot crisis, but the only result is that Grian and Impulse start to truly take note of how strange their neighbors' living situation is. Incidents like the one pictured above arise (i.e. everyone finding out that there is not a singular scrap of food to be found in the entire apartment).

Ok that's all the rambling I'll do in this post, but I hope you enjoyed! Happy holidays!!
