#ender etho

[nontypicalnonhumanhermits]

Ender Etho. I feel like this one used to be a lot more common than it is now for some reason? Anyway. Gives off tall-gangly vibes, preferred method of transport/getting into tight spaces is teleportation. The mask hides an enderman-like mouth, and he's half human so he's *okay* with water but still wears a lot of layers against it just because. Also his eyes shine in the dark like a cat's.

(The white hair is also an ender thing to me but I'm trying not to word-dump the entire details of every headcanon I have onto this blog b/c that's not what this blog is for 😅)

(i don't mean this as an insult btw!) cats' eyes reflect rather than glow, so im just imagining his headlights died or something /silly

im deeply normal so im just thinkin ab the fact scar killed him in the life series in water twice... salt on the wound

[muchmossymess]

Thank you to all the lifers who got joel to win

Lizzie telling him to avoid going after scott

Gem keeping him calm and focussed

Grian watching his back and keeping him from his red craze

(/nf ofc)

Yay!! Here's my nonhuman headcanons for everyone I watch!

Mumbo is an android! He's completely human-passing, he tends to do things the 'human way' (building things instead of modifying himself), and he has never ever mentioned that he's a robot, so everyone thinks that he's a really weird human. He does not know of human concepts like 'fear of death'. Nobody understands why he never got redstone poisoning despite his complete lack of PPE. It's just because he's not organic

Grian is a parrot avian ofc but he also gained cod-like traits when he started spending more time near the ocean. It happens

Gem was human at the start of the season, but she's an anglerfish hybrid now! Same reason as Grian

Doc being a creeper goat cyborg thing is canon so I'll share a little hc on his cybernetic enhancements. He can detect redstone signals! It allows him to locate problems with his machines without having to look around, saves a lot of time. A side effect of this is that he knows that Mumbo is an android because he can detect his redstone!

Etho is a phantom hybrid! He needs very little sleep and he still manages to be sleep deprived. He doesn't use fire res potions to protect himself from the sun, instead he wears his clothes over his wings. He says that it works perfectly, so why would he change it?

Tango. blaze. we all know this one. He doesn't take any special precautions around water. In fact, he forgets that water is a thing until it starts raining and then he screams really loud about it

Pearl is a shapeshifting salmon! She enjoys her human form, but she will correct anyone who calls her a human because she's actually a fish

Joel is a moth hybrid. Yes, he does like lights. Just look at his base!

Well Cub being a vex isn't exactly a headcanon is it. Specifically I hc that he used to be human and became a vex later on, while Scar was born a vex! (the cannibalism is unrelated to this. there's just something wrong with him)

[countthelions]

etho and gem running around tango's farm to add clouds and sunlight is VERY soft

[peskyvinot]

This Clip. is so hermitcraft

they are in the middle of a field next to the "entrance" to tangos game (rhey placed some random blocks and a scar head next to a hole in the ground)

gem just played the "don't put that in my mouth" horn thus making tango face palm&laugh. scar mentioning star wars. etho trying to do smth in his ender chest silently while being spat on by Llama every 2 seconds. gem hyperactively jumping around while being sassy. pearl is building a 3 by 3 dirt prison for scar (because he used one (1) postal shulker) for him to live in for tge next 20 years. scar flying into it Without a command (pearl didn't announce it was for scar. he just crawled into it as an instinct.)

all while tango is silently watching over them, smiling

Etho really be leaving his stone box from his ender chest at hungry hermits as an excuse to go get it and bother tango. Like a kid who'll accidentally leave something at a friend's house so their parents have to take them back to get it and they get to see their friend more

[cattimeswithjellie]

All right, I know Scar basically tossed us a new piece of lore at the end of his Wild Life finale like a fisherman chumming the water hoping for sharks, but who would I be if I didn't take a bite?

Scar's Secret Life ending was different from all the other winners because he did not die at the end of the game. Death is the release, death is the way the game ends. He was clearly supposed to die to the zombie in the ravine after taking out Pearl. Neat, clean, one more winner to join the pantheon. But something happened. We don't know what it was because it was cut out of every perspective. Scar's POV takes a jump from "1.5 hearts from inevitable death to an uninjured zombie in armor and within melee range" to "zombie gone, Scar alive." Pearl's POV jumps at the exact same time, cutting from looking longingly at the Mounders' base with empty chat to a totally different angle with a chat thread fading on the screen.

Something intervened on Scar's behalf in Secret Life to make him miss his scheduled death. He could've died, he should've died, but he did not. And because he didn't die then, he couldn't die at all. And without dying, he couldn't leave his game. He is stuck there indefinitely, maybe forever, maybe until he wins another game and is able to die properly. He's got a lot of experience living on an empty world (thanks, The Crafting Dead!) and he's getting by, possibly with some visitors or hallucinations to keep him company. And despite his exile, he got paroled long enough to play Wild Life.

Scar had a ball in Wild Life! He got to play with his friends, he got to have an actual team and buddies, he even got to mend fences with Grian (mostly.) He also provided a huge amount of entertainment, killing and being killed with wild abandon. Every wild card he was right there in the mix, using it for chaos. But then Session Eight arrived, and it's like he realized it was all about to be over. All his friends would go away again, leaving him with nothing but sunflowers, shadows and regrets. The faster people died, the sooner it was all over.

And so he stopped playing. Scar _talked_ a big game through the session, explaining how he was going to use his deadly roller coaster to kill, but he managed to avoid doing so again and again. Several phases of testing, the wrong rail removed, a lever clicked at the wrong time, several faulty uses of the TNT minecart mechanics. With the exception of Skizz, who was already technically dead, nobody died on or to the roller coaster despite Scar spending his entire session on it and ignoring both the wild cards and all the opportunities he had to kill. He admitted aloud that he didn't want to kill Etho anymore, and he screwed up obviously enough that Grian said aloud that he didn't believe Scar thought his own trap could work. And that, it seems, was the bridge too far for the Watching audience, since it was only minutes later that EScarGo came along and sent him back to Secret Life.

But maybe it wasn't entirely in vain, because Scar provided a valuable lesson for future victors. Look at how Joel didn't waste any time on making sure he didn't get left behind in his game! He came up with a great pretext to kill himself and then when his trap didn't work, he just spammed ender pearls as fast as he could until he died. He wasn't about to make the same mistake and face the same fate as his predecessor. Too bad though, I hear the shadows are great friends.

[milo-hypno]

has anyone else talked about how bdubs woke up in Etho's bed after defeating the ender dragon btw. Like. Hello

[as-de-spadas]

Some things I adored from session 4:

-Final closure with Boat Boys

-Mumbo coming back to the Life series after Last Life after his own team betrayed him and seeing Etho making aha! jokes.

-Grian desperately burning his own creations to fit in with others.

-Scar being forced into the villain role. Seeing him having to kill all of Lizzie's cows and punching Skizz again his will was somehow terrifying.

-Gem throwing people into the End but not helping them. You go girl.

-first reds First reds First Reds FIRST REDS

-Multiple people saying horsegirl and barking. What the hell is wrong with them.

-People starting to prepare for when all hell breaks loose after they built pretty things all season (They didnt know they had to prepare back in 3rd Life)

-Grian sadly saying no to Etho when he offered to build him a bread bridge just like he said to Joel he didn't want to team up with Jimmy because he already did last time.

-Grian figuring Scar's task immediately. They knlw each other that well huh

-Jimmy being literally thrown into death by the Ender Dragon. He isn't beating the doomed by the narrative alegations.

I'm going bananas. Can anyone hear me.

[the-somwthing]

I miss Limited Life Etho, but not specifically him being a dad (tho that was great too) moreso the fact that it was like THE MOST pathetic wet cat version of Etho yet SOMEHOW his highest placement (if you don’t take into account that Last Life had more people so that ranking is technically more impressive)

It was so funny how he would just like BEG people to die while trying to kill them. I also love when Scott was running from Etho and Etho finally catches up and instead of immediately hitting him he like JUMPS BACK and yells “AHHH PLEASE DON’T ENDER PEARL SCOTT!!” He was so funny 😭😭 that time he shot himself in the face 😭😭

[moonr1ses]

So I stayed up thinking about Joel and Scott’s rivalry throughout the life series where they constantly try to kill each other every season. And a question struck me: Who’s currently winning the rivalry? So I decided to track how many times they’ve killed each other throughout all 7 seasons. Enjoy!

3rd Life- Joel and Scott were actually kinda allied despite Joel burning his wall. They didn’t kill each other once. Their final deaths were also pretty much right after each other on the same side of the war.

Last Life- Joel killed Scott once as boogeyman while Scott got the final kill on him in the end.

Kill ratio: 1:1

Double Life- Joel killed Scott once and also killed Pearl once so Im counting it as him taking two of his lives. Technically Pearl indirectly killed Joel/Etho I think? But that wasn’t Scott so Im not counting it.

Kill ratio: 3:1

Limited Life- The season with the most lives and the most opportunities for Scott to kill Joel (4 in total, all in the last episode, including his final death!)

Kill ratio: 3:5

Secret Life- Scott again got the final kill on Joel. Joel didn’t get the chance to kill him cause all of Scott’s deaths this season were self-sacrificial or by his own will.

Kill ratio: 3:6

Wild Life- Joel got that kill on Scott and Pearl immediately after turning yellow, taking Scott’s yellow life. Scott then made it his mission to kill Joel, dying literally directly after taking Joel’s yellow life due to Etho accidentally hitting him.

Final kill ratio: 4:7

So in conclusion Scott’s currently winning in killing Joel alone. Scott is his kryptonite. So I think it was definitely smart for him not to target him as much this season. Also I find it funny how even in the one season Joel outlived him, Scott was still the last player to kill him since his final death was due to an ender pearl lmao.

Ive been watching their rivalry since the Kingdomcraft and X-Life days and it is always so fun

Wildlife Session 7 Superpowers!

This one sounds like a manageable one to collect, unless they change- like with the Secret Life tasks these will go in the Minecraft tab list order. If I’m missing any intricacies of someone’s power, please reply/ask about it! I like keeping this lists as thorough as possible.

Bdubs: Can sleep at night and set the time to day and can slow time down.

Etho: Gets a mace and wind charges launch him much higher into the air then normal, he also takes no fall damage.

Gem: Can astral project, which sends her into spectator mode and leaves a clone of her body behind. If that body is hit she’ll return early.

Scar: Can launch people back 30 blocks and can ride on other players/mob. While activated he also has thorns.

Grian: Can copy other people’s super powers, it lasts for 5 minutes in which he loses it.

Martyn: Can hear from any point that he can see, the audio has a radio-like filter over it.

Lizzie: Can inflict blindness on everyone nearby, she also turns invisible for a few seconds.

Pearl: Can launch herself into the air and has an invisible elytra to glide down with

Ren: Can disguise himself as any player

Scott: Can turn into any mob that he looks at. If he’s not looking at any mob he will change into either a cow, pig, sheep, or chicken.

Joel: Can triple jump and takes no fall damage.

Jimmy: Can turn fully invisible (including items) however long he wants

Tango: Gets super speed and frost walker, however it also gives him hunger.

Cleo: Can raise the dead (Mumbo and Skizz) and order them what to do, but they only have 4 hearts.

BigB: Can spawn three creakings that are friendly to him. The creakings won’t disappear and can still move even if he’s looking at them.

Impulse: Can teleport and takes no damage from using ender pearls. If staring at someone and activates the power he can swap places with them, however it gives the player swapped resistance for a few seconds.

[tunastime]

ok ok?

Once again, Etho and Bdubs find themselves in the same predicament: navigating the complex relationships of their lives while trying to keep each other safe. However, unlike the times before, they have a little bit of a better understanding of each other. And a little more commitment to what they've made together. Or: like every time before, Etho and Bdubs have a conversation. This time, it feels good. (1584 words) (x)

The light sky is waning fast, the fringes of the horizon still orange with fading sunlight. In it, the small, deepslate keep is almost purple, the warmth of the day still held close in the humid river air and sun-warm ground. Inside, Tango is fast asleep. The sniffling breaths he takes are muffled slightly by the noise of nighttime: crickets and salmon and birds. Bdubs is among these noises as he lowers himself to the ground at the base of the keep, dropping his pack and resting against the cooling stone. He tips his head back, letting out a long, tired sigh through his teeth. 

Above him, as he widens his eyes and raises his eyebrows, he can see the beginning pinpricks of stars. He hums to himself, reaching up, eclipsing for just a moment the spread of the planets and suns he’s learned so well from stargazing. The motion feels familiar, in its own, strange way. He stares up through his fingers before he drops his hand into his lap. Bdubs shuts his eyes, letting out another slow sigh.

From beside him, Etho clears his throat. Bdubs startles, immediately cracking an eye at him, shifting around to pretend like he hadn’t just jumped. Etho snorts.

“Mind if I join you?” he asks, that familiar smile to his voice and a crinkle to his eyes. Bdubs blinks his eyes open, furrowing his eyebrows as he gives Etho a quick once over. He crinkles his nose.

“You gonna nag me again?” he asks. Etho huffs out a laugh.

“Me?” he grins. “Always.”

Bdubs sighs again, slumping back against the cold deepslate tile. He rolls his eyes. 

“Alright, wise guy,” he grumbles. Then he pats the grass beside him. His hand comes back slightly dirty. Etho laughs under his breath as Bdubs waves his hand, trying to shake off the dirt before he ungracefully smears his palm onto his pant leg. After a moment, Etho sinks down beside him, letting out his own, tired sigh in relief.

“How ya feelin’?” Bdubs asks, shifting his body ever so to face Etho better. He glances over at him. Etho glances back. He raises his eyebrows and, in the fading light, looks less tired than normal. Bdubs for a brief moment wonders if it’s his doing.

“Mm?” Etho hums. “Pretty good, all things considered.”

Bdubs nods.

“Good,” he says. “I’m excited we’re together again, y’know.”

Etho snorts. He raises his eyebrows in question.

“And Tango?”

Bdubs makes a face. Duh. “A’course.”

Etho laughs again softly.

“Me too,” he says, all pleased like Bdubs had said something he found funny. Bdubs likes that tone of voice a lot. It means only good things out of Etho. Which usually meant good things for Bdubs, too. 

They lapse into a silence then, both comfortable and apprehensive. Etho fiddles with his hands, the skin of his fingers, picking at the nail beds in a show of his bad habit. Bdubs wants to grab his hands and force him to stop, as much as he kind of wants to tell him to just ask whatever question he’s holding himself back from, but Etho rolls his shoulders and settles back against the tile and seems to relax, so for a quiet moment, Bdubs watches his eyes flutter shut, and sees the pale eyelashes against his face in the rising moonlight. His chest seizes for a moment. Then Etho hums out:

“‘M sorry I forgot that one time,” he says, almost muffled through the mask he’s still wearing. “Bout the dragon.”

Bdubs blinks. He almost asks, albeit stupidly, what dragon. There’s a moment where his mouth opens and closes as he tries to remember what in the world Etho could be talking about. Dragon. Dragon. When had he fought the Ender Dragon recently? Not Hermitcraft, not this season at least. Later than that? Why would he be bringing it up now if it were something from this world? Unless he means. 

Ah.

Of course, this train of thought for Bdubs lasts only a second. And it’s in that second that he finally stammers out:

“Oh, what?” and clicks his tongue disapprovingly. “Nah, Etho. Don’t—that was so long ago. Don’t you worry about that.”

“You’re not mad?” Etho asks, tilting his head over. His eyes open to peer at Bdubs. It feels like his pupil is consuming his iris, the way the dark brown and black of his good eye muddle together in the dark. It’s black like the night sky. His eyebrows furrow as he looks over Bdubs’ face. Bdubs snorts.

“Oh I was furious,” he finally says, tearing his eyes away from Etho’s face. Warmth crawls up the back of his neck. He stares at Etho’s unfolded hands, which have come to rest palm up on his knees. “But now? You think ol’ Bdubs carries grudges?”

He looks up at Etho again. Etho shrugs, looking away.

“Uh… yeah?”

Bdubs blanches.

“What! No—not with—” he stammers out. Etho pales even further, visibly swallowing. “Etho!”

‘What!” he squeaks out, spreading his hands, shoulders coming up to his ears. Bdubs swats at him, grumbling as he whacks fabric. 

“Not for you,” he huffs. Etho deflates a fraction—at least, his shoulders come down from the sides of his head. He tilts his head, eyebrows still raised questioningly.

“You sure?” he asks. Bdubs sighs.

“Yeah. Not anymore,” he says, folding his hands together, unfolding them, fidgeting with his fingers. For whatever reason, a prickle of nervousness stores away in his stomach, forcing him to swallow to try and push it around. He sighs, stretching out his hands. “We… we play these things differently. I know that now.”

Etho, from his peripheral, nods once.

“Oh…” he says, voice mellowing out. He sighs too. “That’s good. I’m glad.”

“Yeah,” Bdubs says. He reaches out after a beat, knocking his fist into Etho’s shoulder. Etho wobbles, eyes crinkling. “I missed hanging out with you.”

“You—” Etho wheezes, voice peaking suddenly in amusement. Any higher and they’ll really risk waking Tango. “You see me every day!”

“Well!” Bdubs huffs, folding his arms. “This is different!”

Etho shakes his head. The tufts of white hair being held back by his poorly tied headband come loose all at once. He sweeps them back unsuccessfully, scrunching up his face.

“I dunno Bdubs,” he argues, squinting at him. Bdubs rolls his eyes dramatically, hunkering down over his folded arms. “Feels a bit the same, don’t’cha think?”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

Etho shrugs, relaxing again, leaning back against the cold stone. He finally tugs his mask down and off as he settles, turning his face from where it rests against the stone to give Bdubs a once-over. He smiles and it’s all slightly crooked teeth and sharp canines and wrinkling his nose. Bdubs’ lungs squeeze painfully. 

Maybe that’s the reason that he leans forward and grabs a fistful of Etho’s shirt. Maybe it’s the reason Etho’s hand ends up on his knee, then his thigh, then his hip as Bdubs kisses him. Maybe it’s the reason he feels Etho laugh against his mouth and kiss him again. And maybe it’s the reason that Bdubs rests his forehead against his, nose against his nose bridge, and sighs the most profound breath he has in a while. The air leaves his lungs and enters warm and humid. From this close, Bdubs can see the faint beauty marks on Etho’s cheek. He smooths his hand back up Etho’s collarbone to his shoulder, flattening out his high-neck shirt, keeping his hand under the lip of his coat, under fluff and wicking fabric.

“Let’s not do something stupid this time,” Bdubs says to the point of his nose. “Okay?”

“Like what?” Etho asks. His eyes flick up. For a moment, they’re far away, fixed on a spot far from Bdubs’ dark eyes. His expression softens like he’s remembering something far too painful. Bdubs squeezes his shoulder.

He’s never gonna get that blood off his hands, is he?

“Like stupid traps,” Bdubs finally says, forcing a smile. Etho’s eyes clear just a touch, and he pulls a face.

“I’ve never made a—” Etho pauses. Then he grins. “A stupid trap.”

Bdubs rolls his eyes. It’s in this moment that he pulls away, shaking his head as Etho giggles at him. He smothers the sound with his hands, peering over at Bdubs over his fingers. It takes everything in Bdubs not to swat at him again. His face is properly warm now.

Instead, he shuffles over and makes his home at the dip of Etho’s side. He folds his arms, huffs indignantly, and presses his cheek to his shoulder. Etho makes a small squeak. He relaxes, though, and lets Bdubs lie against him for a long moment. After that moment, however, he presses his cheek to his head and says:

“I’m not gonna let you fall asleep here.”

Bdubs grumbles.

“Fine,” he says. He lets Etho untangle himself from beside him, takes both his hands when he offers to help him stand. In the slowly building moonlight, Etho and Bdubs trudge into the small deepslate fort. Etho’s hand stays in his, warm and solid. Tango still rests soundly, sprawled out on one sleeping mat at the other side of the base, tail twitching ever so in his sleep. Bdubs sighs again as he lies down next to Etho. It takes a long time for his eyes to finally close.

At least he has him now. He doesn’t want to let him go any time soon.

[sophieeee0105]

really enjoy how Martyn and Etho survived the nether fortress with their snails following them (well martyn died to an ender man in the nether) while CERTAIN people -not naming any names *cough* skizz *cough* Jimmy *cough* - couldn’t go like 10 minutes without dying to their snail
