There's ethubs in my book
Quick gem doodle
Bdubs begging Etho to "let him win" and Etho folding like a cheap suit
"okaY bUddY" more like okay honey okay baby whatever you say babygirl
All in a tone of voice like Etho's got maple syrup stuck in his molars
Joel doodles + some from last year I never posted 🙃✌️
I’m alive and well and so is my boat boys obsession
obsessed with whatever's wrong with them
speaking of bdubs being nuanced when i finally make that comprehensive (?) ethubs arguing about/not knowing what words mean compilation i'm not going to let him asking etho "nonced? [ed. note - nuanced] do you know that word?" and etho saying "no" go. nonced. nauwnced. he was like 28 at the time btw
i don't appear to have the option to clip this from my laptop so it's just starting at the timestamp but this gets me so bad. etho laughing when he hasn't said anything funny yet. bdubs being bad at reading. the larger context of bdubs being defensive abt people bossing "my buddy" (etho) around. 10/10 moron to moron hangout and ofc it's in the spider spawner triple feature. bless em
Hey guys I am in fact Not Dead. I've been very busy with school but I am doing a hc/life series related project and I have discovered I have the soul of an overworked webtoon artist within me.
In the meantime you can have ANOTHER life series related project I did for a different subject <3 I'm gonna print a couple of these on hoodies for myself and maybe design a back logo for each
he only agreed to come fishing if etho took him someplace pretty and didn't actually make him fish
Day 11: Scar!
I was feeling whimsical today
typing from memory so I'm bound to miss or misremember something but: a couple of my favourite Etho moments from LimLife are exclusive to povs that aren't his because they're largely just moments of Etho expressing frustration.
The first is when Gem (as Cleo) unceremoniously kills him maybe a second time after he goes to the clockers for 'family dinner'. Bdubs does warn Etho about his impending death but what bothers Etho is that he was playing into a creative roleplay angle and essentially got punished for playing along. The second is similar, when he tells Scar he's about to break character, because again he's playing into the dad character trying to play around with his sons and is instead being hit a bunch for it in ways he doesn't see as befitting the scene or framework. I think this tells us a bit about Etho's concept for the function of improv in the series and its relationship to the death game competition they are all participating in.
It's also further substantiated by Wild Life, where Etho talks to both allies and enemies about events from his perspective and the upcoming plans, namely that he will go along with riding Scar's very-obviously-a-trap 'rollercoaster'. iirc Etho doesn't actually call out the game being played here explicitly, but he evidently wants to give Scar a payoff for what has largely been a season-long plan with team skin theming that hasn't really amounted to a substantial effect. Etho knows the rollercoaster is likely to kill him, knows Scar in particular likes to kill him, and still chooses to play along because of the value Etho has placed on improv and creativity for the series.
The LimLife death frustration isn't from dying, but from how rote, uncreative, and therefore meaningless it is. I think these moments of minor frustration are really interesting to me because it's reflective of Etho's thoughts for what the life series is, where it's value is, and what his place in it 'should' be - it isn't just a logistical or detached choice but instead a mindset he plays in that can drive emotions in him if things get misaligned, negative emotions which he doesn't want to indulge in as part of a character development, which i dont think is necessarily true of everyone.

really good examples that didn't immediately come to mind!! I think what's telling through all of these is that Etho is an active collaborator who sets up scenarios to be knocked down. I think when I've seen some people discuss Scar's play they refer to this as somewhat intentional manipulation of the social setting in order to have people "yes, and" to their death, and while I really can see that read I think it's worth saying that in Etho's case it's clear that he also lets himself be the one disadvantaged by it very often, confirming that this isn't just to get ahead in the game. I imagine Scar would also feel similarly about this. I also like that Etho's sense of good sport, as Jon put it, is something he has feelings about! It's a social contract within a game that has explicit and implicit social rules, and when he felt that it was broken, it became frustrating. It speaks to his sense of fair play and improv collaboration, because it is something you have to actively work at rather than let passively become just hitting each other with swords (as much as I think we're due some more of that especially in the end game).
