so is etho's body completely hollow inside? or are there organs or other stuff just Floating Around in there

Hmmm so yknow when you're playing minecraft and a chunk hasn't loaded yet. And technically, that unloaded chunk isn't really empty, the data is all there, you just can't see or interact with it.

Like, he can still see out of his 'missing' eye (tho its a lil fuzzy), but you can't touch it or even see it in any way. So his other organs work on similar logic. He still bleeds when you cut him and gets by just fine Organ function wise, it just so happens a significant portion of his organs don't exist tangibly.

So basically he has holes all over his body that lead to void filled pockets, but at the same time he has perfectly average and normal human physiology. Both exist at once

You know what would he funny? If overgrown river was actually a puppy and when fully grown he’ll be about the size of 10 story building when he grows but when he shrinks he’ll be mastiff size.

Blackest space extended before me. I was not in this blackness, but at the edge of it, and I confess that it is terrifying. It is terrifying because there is something in it which scorns man and which man cannot endure without losing himself. But he must lose himself; and whoever resists will founder, and whoever goes forward will become this very blackness, this cold and dead and scornful thing in the very heart of which lives the infinite.

I often think about how, from the perspective of the average house pet, humans are functionally immortal. From the perspective of a human brain, a single hard drive holding the Wikipedia archives is a functionally infinite reservoir of knowledge. The ocean for any human swimming in it has functionally infinitely many droplets of water. The earth, for any individual social purpose, has functionally infinitely many people.
