Ethos shopping addiction in season 8 >>

Also the first fully colored (Pink) Etho I've ever done. I made him pink because

Might start brainrotting some hermit art on this blog •••

Etho: I don’t have a shopping addiction. This season of Hermitcraft I’m going to control myself

*immediately cuts to him spending 400 diamonds at once*

Putting Silly Bois in silly boats are we??

I see what you did there, Joel Smallishbeans.

Not obsessed at all

[shade-e-e-es]

Ooh ooh ooh! I love the sound of your early players/phantom Etho headcanons! If you’re ok with it, I’d love to hear more, especially about Etho copying Joehills’s code?

Why thank you for asking!!!

Etho first realized he could change code when he wanted to go out into the sun. Wanted to see the sky and all that, y’know. Eventually he just went. I’m gonna do it. And he did, and he didn’t burn.

After a particularly brutal attack by a player that left his face incredibly cut up, Etho, while hanging out with Doc, declares that he wishes he was a player. It’s then that Etho reveals that he can go into the sun now, that he would just need a player to change his entire form as long as they were willing to have their entire being studied.

Doc, being himself and knowing many game breaking things before he even got into redstone, proclaims he knows someone who can be considered a player.

A platform of gold, netherrack, light it on fire. Place a paw on the base and go JOE. HEY. CAN YOU COME HERE I NEED HELP.

Not entirely a player but close enough!!

Joe is all for being a pain in Mojangs butt. They keep trying to remove them after all

So basically, the three just hang out for a while while Etho stares into Joes code and copies it All. And after he copies it all theres 2 joes. And then they sit and stare at Etho as he messes with each individual line to see what it does. Slowly changing himself from a carbon copy of herobrine to his own person.

The only thing he can’t change is his busted eye, the scarring, and the fact that he gets really violent when he’s around people who don’t sleep. He has to go to therapy for that.

"...im contemplating what i should charge for that [etho wanting to make a deal with doc regarding shulker boxes]. i asked on twitter already, good suggestions are coming in, for example: one was his soul" - doc, hc s8x12

i mean yeah sure, fair enough

[681] Etho does NOT have a shopping addiction

[lilacsandcandy]

an ethogirl who is often overshadowed by the louder and wilder ethogirls of hermitcraft is Iskall85. he got a vault hunter armor set he's been grinding for for like days now and immediately invaded Ethos solo vault to show him his new outfit. they based together in season 8, he personally funded ethos shopping addiction for that entire season, and they are so toxic to each other when they compete (which is often, it's their favorite thing to do together). iskall has personally asked etho for development help and suggestions with vault hunters which is something he seems to only trust a handful of people with. idk I just love them as a duo they're clearly very good friends and it really shows.

[tjodity]

The three descending layers of Etho's presentation/how people perceive him:

Cool, intimidating Redstone genius and renowned PVP expert who is stoically quiet

Awkward goofball. Bad at talking to people and will make incomprehensible jokes. Skills manifest as having nervous breakdowns over Redstone circuits and avoiding people. Washed up

Cutie Patootie with insane loyalty to his friends. This is the shopping addiction, i-want-to-look-pretty, neow, uwu, gem is great, id-never-betray-cleo tier

[hermitcraftheadcanons]

etho is a terrible person to buy gifts for. with his shopping addiction you’d think it was easy, but no— whenever asked what he wants, he blanks and nervously laughs, and he accepts the present with the same nervousness even if he does actually like it.

one time, in a desperate guess, someone bought him a kakashi figurine, since he dresses so similar to the character. this elicited a slightly more excited response than usual from etho, which everyone took as him really liking naruto but he was actually just surprised that kakashi looked so much like him. so the hermits bought him more naruto stuff and he response to them all was the exact same vaguely nervous gratitude, but this time because he didn’t want to upset the hermits by confessing he doesn’t know the anime. so really, nothing changed

[ethosiab]

this episode had everything. etho desk setup irl picture, callback to the e404 door bit, etho saying uwu, clethubs interaction that mainly involves messing with bdubs, etho's shopping addiction... everything

the image if anyone was wondering

[days-until-burnout]

idk if you still take requests, but the Joel intro of the week literally was “I’m addicted to Eefo …’s frog game”. So Much potential like I just had to say it somewhere and you can’t stop me.

i... i forgot the etho part. joel is addicted to the frog game. the grind never stops. he can eefo late. frog game now. men are temporary, frog game is forever _____

📧 Day 83 -

Characters - Etho + Joel Words - 946 Time - 35 mins Content - Hermitcraft

Joel manages a total of two hours of work, mostly stripping then chopping wood before he grows antsy—hopping to get around, shifting weight from foot to foot, looking to the sides as he moves about—

He knows, he knows it's getting bad, very bad in fact, because his ax breaks and he is left staring at his empty hand, the broken bits of his ax littering the ground now. His good ax, maxed out with enchantments and for sure he knew it had been more than fifty percent in durability. And yet—

And yet—

Rapidly, he shoves the logs into his inventory to transport to the nearest storage. Some barrels along the walls of his stairs, not optimal or even smart, but he drops the logs into them carelessly, dashing up with a lighter inventory.

Atop the stairs, a rocket explodes before he properly secures his elytra, taking some damage but still taking off the ground. He glides down a little to situate himself, and soon enough, he is breaking rockets to fly to the shopping district, recklessly checking his comms. The feed is most filled with conversations, chatter he doesn't care about with the sporadic death message—luckily, none familiar.

He finds the arc and swoops in, dragging dirt and dust inside as the soles of his boots drag on the ground. He slides to a stop right in front of the payment spot, not even sparing a second look at the boot-drag marks under him, gaze instantly latching to the highscore banners above the game's entrance before looking to the entrance.

The sigh of relief he lets out is too loud, and it's a very clear sign of his addiction.

But Joel doesn't have time for introspection, because he flicks his inventory up, grabbing the spare change diamonds he had set aside that morning. For this, a couple laps, just to distract himself. He swears he will get back to work after, he just needs a couple runs, beat his own highscore and everyone else's.

It will be quick, he says, eyes fixed on the pot.

Just as he goes to deposit the diamond, a hand jumps to grab his wrist, yanking it up slightly. Joel looks heartbroken immediately before his body kicks into motion, yanking his limb back as he turns to yell at whoever—

"Etho?"

"Joel."

He blinks a couple times, anger shifting to confusion back to anger, "Why'd you do that for?! Don't you want the diamonds? Let me—"

"You were here two hours ago," Etho near hisses, and there is something that flies over Joel's head. Because how dare Etho! Doesn't he want the diamonds? Doesn't he want people playing his stupid game? Joel glares at him, Etho's own eyes sharpen.

"So? I need a break. You can't tell me how I take my breaks. Any—"

Abruptly, Joel's words cut with a yelp as his body moves away from the entrance. His mind takes a second to comprehend before he gives in and trips along as Etho pulls his elsewhere. Down the steps near the entrance, opposite the actual froglight ship, then he's landing on something semi-soft.

Etho.

Etho.

He sputters and tries to jump free, arms quickly tight around his stomach, holding him in place. Normally, he is much stronger than Etho, but, well, he'd been neglecting himself in favor of… Yeah. He knows it's bad.

Etho lays sideways on his boss chair, legs kicked on the armrest, back against the other. At first, Joel sits on his lower stomach and pelvis, then squirms himself onto his stomach which Etho doesn't even seem to mind. It takes a bit longer, a couple minutes of fussing because Joel realizes Etho isn't even trying to hold him down.

Joel is just weak.

The realization dawns on him and horror washes over him.

"Are you done yet?" Etho asks, his tone the vocal equivalent of an eye-roll. Joel stills, dropping his head into his lap, utter defeat.

Etho sighs before he sits up a little, Joel falling against his legs and not even fighting it. His cheek presses against Etho's knee before being nudged to change positions, which he does—well, more like Etho moves him around like a ragdoll, because he disconnects from his body for a moment as his mind rebuffs.

When he blinks, grounded now, he is facing Etho. Etho still sitting across on the chair, and now Joel too. Sitting on his pelvis against, leaning back on Etho's legs. His right leg is tucked between Etho's side and the backrest, the other on the floor. Etho has his left arm behind his head, right hand flimsily holding Joel's, simply watching him and just…

"I want to play," he says quietly, almost pouty and whiny.

Etho rolls his eyes, and Joel can see it this time, "Nah, it's broken."

"No, it's not."

"It is."

"No."

Etho raises a brow, and Joel realizes how stupid it is to argue with the game's owner. But he is stubborn.

But he is also very tired.

"Fix it."

"Later."

"Now."

Etho hums, then brings his left arm to his abdomen, comms appearing in his hand. The conversation cuts short when Etho pays Joel no attention, scrolling through his feed, uninterested. And Joel can leave, Etho is no longer holding him down or back, and he could leave and see if the game is actually broken. He knows it can't be, because he was here just two hours ago and everything was fine.

It could've broken right after, maybe?

Joel finally exhausts himself thinking when it could've happened, and Etho only spares a huff and a smirk as he falls against the backrest.

can you pinpoint the point in the story where i lost the plot because it happened

[ashiyn]

holding the early s7 iskall and etho interactions VERY close to my heart. they're just some dudes hanging out, giggling about the most stupid things ever.

[transmcytshowdown]

one time etho (when talking about his shopping addiction) compared himself to a beautiful rich princess in that all the shops wanted him to buy from them (this was in hc s8)

he is a beautiful princess <3
