bdubs, gayly: okaaaayyyy. [normal] i will be careful.
etho, in the same tone: okaayyyyyy [laughs]
bdubs, extremely indignant: oh, oh let's just make fun of me [garbled objections] we go back for years!
etho: i like how you said that! [more insistent, talking over bdubs] no i LIKED how you said that!! i thought it was good!
bdubs: oh it was a nice way? oh okay. [gayly again] okayyyyyy :)
etho, copying him again: okaaaayyyyyyy :)
cannot get over scar being the ore snatcher. all that time. all the accusations. he was at the scene of the crime squinting down at his own fingerprints with a magnifying glass and wiping away the prints as he finds them. only found out by people who are unquestionably “yes, and” supporters who would never rat him out. scar has plot armour but the armour makes him invisible. you’d think we’d have learnt not to underestimate him by now and yet
I love that there are a few hermits that everyone just collectively agrees get preferential treatment. Gem or Grian get an unfair advantage and they'll be at eachother throats, but Etho or Scar get an unfair advantage and everyone just nods like yeah that's fair.
"I like Impulse more than you" - an insult.
"I like Etho more than you" - and?
"The prize for this contest is Cleo" - bit odd.
"The prize for this contest is Scar" - that checks
"I want to be teamed with Doc" - theres a reason
"I want to be teamed with Etho" - Join the club
"Bdubs broke a rule" - Something must be done about this
"Scar broke a rule" - eh, what'r ya gonna do, it's Scar
Can you just picture for a second being etho sat at your fuckass desk with your stupid home depot rug and a cup of coffee doing those challenges and hearing EXACTLY what bdubs is saying about you and every behaviour he's picked up on. and btw making the floor like that was completely optional and the literal only reason to do that is to leave a stupid coded message to bdubs Like yes remember when i came into your base and saw your floor (i know you remembered this because i know you watched it) well don't worry i remembered it too and here's the floor and it's me btw im giving the game away look at this floor i learnt from you
Cleo: See this is the problem I have with Xb. Xb thinks I'm nice
Joe: (incredulous) Why?
Cleo: I know, right
Joe: Were you like - Did you demonstrate gratitude and inadvertently seemed nicer than you meant to be? Because I understand expressing gratitude when Xb is helpful. That seems like the sorta thing you might do
Cleo: (overlapping) I mean, I'm relatively nice to Xb
Joe: You're not an ungrateful person and Xb is a helpful person. So I could see him experiencing gratitude and having a positive impression of you
had an assignment to copy another living artists painting so i did a version of @panidanya 's bdubs art,, i think this might be the best I've ever done with acrylics ever
it was pretty challenging to follow the painting style of a digital art but i had a lot of fun still,, i chose this art to copy bc i love panidanyas art style and paintings a lot (such good coloring and vibes) and this one had a perfect amount of detail for me to reference without being too much and making me lose my mind lol
here are some progress pictures
you can see i started out at early morning because the earliest photo is all yellow bc of sunlight lol,, in it's entirety this took me a little over six hours I'd say ?
please go and support panidanya they are so so cool and the art is very gorgeous
Etho: (overlapping) Without moving, sitting up straight uh with, you know how you do the, the O with your legs
Gem: An O with your legs?
Etho: So you have them up, right, but they're kind of folded on top of each other
Gem: Oh, you have like your, your, your ankle on your knee?
Etho: Exactly, yeah
Gem: Your ankle's on your knee, okay, yeah
Etho: This is kind of me right now
Gem: This is you
Etho: Some- something like this
Gem: Uh-huh. Boy, you'd fit right in in guess the build
Etho: Yup (laughs)
Gem: (laughs)
Etho: With, with Skizz, right?
Gem: Yeah, okay, yeah, chat I think, I think, well, I think that's typical
Etho: Uh-hum
Gem: We'll diagnose that as typical
Etho: Does it mean something or what?
Gem: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, it doesn't mean anything. It doesn't mean anything. They're just curious
Etho: Yeah. Yeah, you reposition all the time, otherwise you get sore
Gem: Okay, follow-up question from, again from the chat, has nothing to do with me. If you were to have like your dream couch, okay, in your house. What color is the couch?
Etho: What color is the couch? Well it's gotta match the place
Gem: Well yeah, but like your dream couch. Like the whole room maybe is coming together or whatever. What's the couch color?
Etho: Boy, that's a hard question
Gem: I know, it took Grian a while to answer this one
Etho: It's not like, it's not like a great answer. But it would probably be brown of some sort, just, just 'cause I don't know. I don't feel like couches should be like a feature?
Gem: Oooh, okay
Etho: More like background, right?
Gem: Yeah, no, I agree, and I do - brown is good, very natury
Etho: And like if you get a white couch. Someone - you invite someone over, there's gonna be stains
Gem: If you had said white. No, nuh-uh, no it can't be white. Well -
Etho: What's, what's your answer on that one?
Gem: Green
Etho: Green like a forest green kind of thing?
Gem: (overlapping) Like a dark green. A dark - maybe like an emerald or olive, something very deep, sprucy colored
Etho: That's a good choice 'cause that's kinda like a brown, like it's a, it's a neutral color, right?
Gem: Yeah and not like lime green, that, that'd be crazy, that'd be wild. It's gotta be still natury
Etho: Uh-hum
Gem: That's my dream. Chat, are you satisfied now? We've got our answer (laughs)
Etho: (laughs) This is what you put up all day with, weird questions like this Gem, okay
Gem: They take after the streamer, really
Etho: Right
Gem: Yeah. Yeah, I, I agree with your diagnosis, chat, I agree. I think we already knew that, but I agree, I concur
Etho: Okay now I gotta pull up the chat. What are they saying? What is this diagnosis?
Gem: (laughs) Well it's pride month Etho, so. You know there's just certain answers
Etho: You can tell by how someone sits?
Gem: No, no, no. You can't actually, to be clear. But me and Lizzie were in a call the other night and we were both sitting a certain way. And then the dads were both not sitting that way. So we started to make jokes
Etho: Were they cross-legged?
Gem: That maybe there's a correlation. No, the dads were sitting like proper in an office chair. Just normal, like feet planted, arms just on the desk, just normal sitting. At least you've got one leg up, a little bit of spice
Etho: No, no, both legs, both legs
Gem: Oh, both legs and right, both legs. Both - wait, you're cross-legged basically?
Etho: Uh not - like the legs are on top of each other, I guess
Gem: So like ankle on knee, but both, both ankles on your knee. Both ankles are on the knees
Etho: (overlapping) One, one, one ankle under knee, one on top of knee
Gem: Oh
Etho: Folded together, you know
Gem: Okay, alright. I see
Etho: What do they call that? Crisscross? Hmm
Gem: They're saying crisscross. Pretzel style
Etho: That's, that's pretty much it yeah, pretzel style
i really like in spellbound caves when bdubs treats etho admitting he wears glasses occasionally like he just came out as bisexual. just really earnestly reassuring him that's alright as if anybody is fussed about whether glasses make you a rotten nerd (mega derogatory). but then after they know each other a little better there's this bit where etho does a pre-emptive nerd voice because you're the guy who always hates glasses & correctly identifies bdubs is like this bc he does in fact need glasses. whatever
and not to be predictable but i think it's really funny that in the current era bdubs has sublimated this glasses-anxiety into his arrogant fool persona. here are multiple different instances of him saying "glasses are a sign of smartness" verbatim. (he reuses that ad read in another ep too.) the more things change the more they stay the same really. same anxiety, better managed, still mean but only toward himself through complex implication and lightheartedness.
the fact bdubs makes powerpoints for meetings that are over the top to the point of comedy will always be one of my favourite stupid facts about him he's pulling up with gifs only a 40+ year old could love and 50 bright red circles over everything
