Hello, and welcome to my mailbox. I forget to edit this to say something even more original.

Featured Mailboxes: @joels-mailbox @jimmys-mailbox @scotts-mailbox @docs-mailbox @mumbos-mailbox @lizzies-mailbox @pearls-mailbox @itlw-mailbox @gtwscars-mailbox @skizzles-mailbox @tangos-mailbox @gems-mailbox @rendogs-mailbox @impulses-mailbox @xisumavoids-mailbox @grians-mailbox

This is an Etho rp/ask blog & very much not the real Etho (which I am sure you've already assumed because if actual Etho had a public tumblr, I think Etho Girls (gender neutral) would have crashed the site by now over it.

I am your friendly neighborhood mod Vert, I use they/them pronouns & am over 18.

I'm a fairly new Etho Girl, so I'm still working on getting my Etho Voice down. I also haven't seen the majority of his videos, having just started watching last year, & am a couple of vids behind on Hermitcraft 10, so I might have some knowledge gaps here or there. ^^;;

That said, there are no memory shenanigans in this universe, so this Etho theoretically remembers everything!

Main ship in this universe is SmallEtho.

Gonna say mildly spicy (nsfw) asks are allowed for now, please just don't make them super scorching. (This is subject to change at any point if I feel I need to adjust this rule, but I'll make a post about that then.)

(Other RB chain was getting pretty crowded, so bringing it over here)(i think it was the response to your retconned RB anyways, with some modifications)

You alright, Eefo? Been a bit out of it since Hermes brought you over. And you’d been gone a bit- [Joel’s brows furrow, clearly concerned, despite his efforts to try and appear aloof]

- @joels-mailbox

uh huh, yeah, I'm fine, very fine, yep yep

just a bit confused... I'm still not exactly sure how the kid found me or how I got here... 0_o

one minute I was in the aether and the next I was here

well, I think it was the aether

looked like it and everything, y'know, but I must have been reaaaally far out because I couldn't find any of the mail portals

and before that I was-

[he abruptly stops as he remembers what he'd been doing last on hermitcraft and the letters and his plan and his ears turn a bit red]

o_o

[clears his throat and, while avoiding eye contact, says, a bit more high pitched than usual]

traffic was crazy

[joels-mailbox]

*shows up randomly with auntie Lizzie, daddy Sausage, Walrus daddy (Mog), and Slab daddy (who just got dragged into this mess)* *refuses to elaborate*

@hermes-mailbox

Hermes? What’re you doing with all of- where did you even find Eefo?!( @ethos-mailbox )

[ethos-archival-mailbox]

oooooh boy 0_0 (I might have done too good of a job faking my death... or maybe not quite good enough)

heeeeey joel

I, uh...

not really sure how I got here exactly...

or who these guys are (hi lizzie)....

or why this kid calls me slab daddy...

[joels-mailbox]

[Joel lets out a groan]

Right…

There’s Mog, Sausage and Hermes, Hermes is my kid, Sausage is his other dad, and I think Mog is Sausage’s partner.

[He turns to @hermes-mailbox ]

Why did you take Eefo?! Where did you even find him?

Sorry about him, that’s just how he is, bring a demigod does that to a kid! I can get him to bring you back to whatever weird Canadian things you were doing (but I’d rather you stay)

[mogs-mailbox]

Haha what? IM WHAT? HAS HE SAID THAT- does he like talk about me- I mean um- I’m very calm about this- also you good sausage you’ve been making noises in a ball for like 10 plus minutes- <he laughed nervously and turned red as tomato before crouching down and rubbing sausages back to calm him>

@sausages-mailbox

[sausages-mailbox]

[Sausage has been visibly blue screening for the past half an hour or so, but that snaps him out of it]

Joel! We're not- Mog and I aren't- We're not together!

[joels-mailbox]

Ah, my bad Sausage! Should’ve figured it was casual or something, that’s more of what you do anyways. [Joel gives him a grin]

[sausages-mailbox]

That's not what I- Joel!!!

[This is the most flustered/not put together anyone here has ever seen Sausage and it's a bit odd]

[joels-mailbox]

Really? That’s a first for you! Usually you throw yourself at anything that talks. Not a bad thing we’ve all been there, bit of fun’s always a good time, but you’re not trying to make out with him?

[mogs-mailbox]

Wait he what? I- he what?- oh! Huh. He does do that often I-… just realized that. Huh. <he just did a little ohhhh of realization and immediately turned red embrace for thinking he was a bit special for getting flirted with by said sausage before just acting away form the twos and just crotched down playing with Hermes while still pretty obviously embarrassed>

[joels-mailbox]

Yeah? It’s not why we’ve got a kid, but during Empires Two- [Joel let out a snort, choosing not to finish his sentence] Auwf, nothing serious though, don’t worry. I’m more surprised you two haven’t kissed, that’s usually one of these first things he does. Honestly, I can’t think of a single person who liked men he hasn’t tried anything with, but that’s Sausage for you, eh? Maybe he’s finally starting to mellow out. That’d be a shock me, but I guess it was probably gonna happen at some point

[mogs-mailbox]

Wait so he like- kisses every guy??? Oh:d! Well now I feel rather silly hahaha-… umm I am go- like- over here- and have emotions- come on kiddo- <he nervously laughs before he just sighed and accepted the fate of ‘person Hermes clings to’ and picked up the little guy walking over to a branch and chilling while Hermes asks questions>

-🦉

[joels-mailbox]

He tries his best to, kinda funny honestly. So he has gotten to you, then. If he’s gotten you all flustered, then you’re stuck with him for a while. Bit relentless, Sausage is. [Joel’s face shifts to surprise when Mog mentions ‘having emotions’ about it, followed by a little laugh]

Oh you’re- well just ask him out then, he certainly won’t say no

[mogs-mailbox]

WHAT??? ASK HIM- I HAVEN’T EVEN PROPERLY COURTED HIM??? YOU JUST- ASK WILLY NILLY??? Like- JUST ASKING? I’m very confused. You land people confuse me. Usually we court for at LEAST a month before a trial date- a year usually- <he looked extremely confused and shocked at sheiks casually telling him to ask sausage out- just holding Hermes on his hip and giving an ‘are you insane???’ Look to joel>

-🦉

[mogs-mailbox]

(hay guys can we continue from here and not the other threads so we don’t all get confused<3?-Oli/Mog mod)

[ethos-archival-mailbox]

[is startled back into the moment and belatedly turns with a hand out to introduce himself to mog]

[only to realize mog's already left the vicinity]

[closes hand and drops it back down to his side]

[finally processes that joel had shaken him and turns back towards joel]

[realizes joel is now slightly off to the side talking with mog]

[stands there awkwardly before facing sausage]

so, uh...

you're from one of the other servers joel was on?

guess tango's been setting up more aether mailbox kits while I was...

[clears throat]

don't remember you being on the list to get set up, but, uh, it's been a while since I checked it

[the awkwardness is palpable]

[blinks a few times before looking down at Hermes]

your... kid... uh huh...

[looks at sausage blue screening on the ground]

and his other... dad... [eyes go a bit unfocused as he falls silent and his brain buffers for several solid minutes, mostly oblivious to the ongoing conversation trying to determine sausage and mog's relationship status]

(( Hey guys, friendly Etho-mod Vert here with an update.

I am not dead & neither is this blog. My brain's just been Extremely Uncooperative when it comes to writing, like, anything, & I've been too tired to fight with it on the matter. I've got a bunch of asks & reblogs I'm itching to respond to & quite a few ideas on how I want to do so, my brain is just. Not doing words good lately lol.

So yeah, not ignoring anyone, not abandoning this, will be back as soon as I can, & very likely first with just a random post here & there as I'm able.

Thanks for hanging around in the meantime! I'm so excited to see so many folks following here & joining in on the mailbox universe in general!

tuff guys!!!!

[ethos-archival-mailbox]

*A package appears in your mailbox, with a letter attached!*

Hi Etho! Hope all is well with you. Finally got this thing up and running, so I got you some maple cream cookies. You know, the ones shaped like maple leaves that you love so much! Hope you like them.

-<-❀ BigB

[etho responds with a book & quill, maple scented crumbs between the pages, almost as though he decided he couldn't wait to write back or to eat the cookies]

bigb (@bigbs-mailbox)-

glad you got it working! wish I coulda been more help, but I'm still not sure what world you're in, I'm just impressed the instructions made it to you, to be honest

thank you for the cookies, they were very tasty! ^_^

-etho

[old-cleos-mailbox-deactivated20]

[inside the shulker box you find a book and quill, a message messily scribbled on a single page]

cleo-

need your help with something

headed over now

-- etho (@ethos-mailbox)

Alright, I'm right outside waiting for you!

[ethos-archival-mailbox]

[etho drops out of the sky near cleo, the wings of his elytra folding away as he gives a quick wave; his affect is overall casual, but he's talking just a bit too fast]

hey cleo, how's it going?

I've got, uh, a bit of a problem and I'm hoping you can help me out

[old-cleos-mailbox-deactivated20]

[She looks up at Etho as he flies near. Their notice the quick paced talking and are confused but don't say anything] Hi Etho, What do you need help with? Is something wrong?

[ethos-archival-mailbox]

I, yeah, I've got a bit of a...

[he pauses to take a deep breath and exhale it]

joel and bdubs are having some kinda legal thing, and now somehow I'm involved

[etho scratches the back of his neck and starts pacing]

and I can't be a lawyer, cleo, that's just not really a thing I should be doing

so, anyways, I was thinking, and this plan is just a work in progress, but I was thinking I could fake my death and go live on skyblock with doc

but then I was like, you know who's good at plans? cleo, cleo's great at plans

and, uh, yeah, now I'm here because I wanted your thoughts on this...

[he stops pacing and faces cleo]

plan

[old-cleos-mailbox-deactivated20]

..That is [She looked down and paused] A lot. Wow. Yeah. I agree, lawyer doesn't fit you. [She though and looked back at Etho] I can help you but are you sure you want to to that? Just.. leave? [She asked you intently]

[ethos-archival-mailbox]

I mean...

[he sighs]

not really, I'm just not seeing a lot of choices here

I really can't get involved in whatever joel and bdubs have going on

I can't say no to bdubs, you know I can't, and with joel, I...

[he trails off, then clears his throat]

I'm just not seeing a lot of options

[old-cleos-mailbox-deactivated20]

[They looked down and paused. Thinking about that]

You're right, it's a bit of a pickle.

[She looked back up and nodded, putting her hands on her hips]

I'll help. What do you have so far?

[ethos-archival-mailbox]

[his posture relaxes a bit in relief]

okay, so, I still gotta talk to doc about this, make sure he's okay with me living on skyblock indefinitely and everything

and I've gotta figure out a way to die that'll give a death message that everybody'll accept as a reason I'm gone... and that it's permanent... and not come looking for me...

[he trails off, eyes going kinda unfocused as the realities of faking one's death in a world where dying just means respawning and it isn't even remotely permanent hit him]

there's basically no way that nobody comes looking for me, is there

like, no matter how I die, at least bdubs would be going through every chunk to check for me

[he looks back at cleo]

I miiiiiight need a different plan

Are you sure about that one

Are you SURE. It feels an awful like like barely disguised flirting

You guys are close enough to kiss, people don’t have normal conversations that close usually

yeah, well, apparently I haven't been keeping him close enough, 'cause now he's out there getting me involved in legal battles with bdubs

[he anxiously rakes a hand through his hair]

okay, who can I ask for help, who would know what to do here...

aha! I know! I'll go ask cleo what to do, they'll know what to do

[he tucks away the notes again, instead grabbing a book and quill to hastily scribble a note and package it up]

[as he presses the button and the shulker box drops into the mail network, off to cleo's, he takes a deep breath]

okay, okay, that should get there before I do...

[he turns and heads out the door, swapping his rockets back into his hand]

[ethos-archival-mailbox]

“ETHO! What’s this I hear about you being Joel’s lawyer!”

- @bdubs-mailbox

[etho retrieves the second message from his mailbox, immediately recognizing bdubs' handwriting and groaning]

[he quickly reads the message, noticing how hard the letter were written on the paper, and sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose]

[after a moment, he brings joel's note back out as well & stares at both of them, mumbling to himself]

I really don't want to be a part of this, I really don't...

maybe I can fake my death and change my name and go live with doc...

no, no that wouldn't work, there wouldn't be a death message... and doc might still be living in skyblock...

okay, so, I stash my good gear and set my spawn on skyblock and then kill myself in a totally cool way somewhere somebody'll find my dropped items before they despawn, just as extra proof, and there'll be a death message and I'll respawn on skyblock and just live there forever and no one will find me 'cause doc'll never give me up and I won't have to go to court with joel and bdubs and everything'll be hunky dory! yeah!

[he looks between the two notes, processing his plan, and sighs heavily, shoulders dropping]

I, uh, I might need some help with this...

[ethos-archival-mailbox]

Eefo, I’ve got a bit of a problem. I need you to be my lawyer, I’ll owe you big time! If Bdubs asks you, you’ve already agreed to be mine, so you can’t be his

- @joels-mailbox

[he pulls out the shulker and pops it open, grabbing the note before tossing the box in the appropriate chest]

[reading through this message, his visible face goes on a whole emotional journey, occasionally mumbling out a few of the words as he reads them]

[staring at the note he thinks outloud] ohnononono I do not like this, oh I definitely do not like this....

[as he's tucking the note in his inventory, the mailbox's light turns on again] ooooh boy....

[ethos-archival-mailbox]

[etho finishes sorting his inventory out to go check on bdubs, but as he's about to leave through his front door, the light in his mailbox turns on]

[he stares at it for a moment before deciding he better check it, it might be about someone needing help with the mailbox updates]

[tucking his rockets back in his inventory, he opens the barrel to find a white post office shulker box]
