etho is very comfortable with his sexuality. flirting with the hermits? daily priority. his girlfriend false is not against it, she herself flirting with other people besides etho constantly.

though they're not in an open relationship - they did try it for a while, but both of them decided against it. instead they have bed talks. in the evening, after everything goes silent and calm, they lay in bed together and talk about their attraction to others. false fangirls about how cute grian is in that new shirt he bought, etho can't stop smiling while he's talking about the flirt he had with pearl that day. they cuddle and talk about it for hours, sometimes.

It's become something for them to bond over. They both care about the hermits dearly, and it's nice to talk about how much they do. The hermits are used to it as well - it's cute how in love they both are. They know anything they do with one will make its way back to the other. Etho will ask to see Grian's new shirt, False will ask Pearl how suave Etho actually was. And then they'll report back again that evening, cuddling together.

for the theme: halloween

false dragged her boyfriend etho into a costume shop for halloween. etho comes out of the changing room dressed as a cactus. false, in a cowboy costume, jokes that they now only need their friend bdubs in a horse costume and they could make a wild west movie parody. and who would've guessed that bdubs is completely on board with it, even offering to carry false on his back. wait, why is etho not jealous that his friend is flirting with his girlfriend?

Etho is confident enough in his relationship with False that he isn't scared of her cheating. And he's confident enough in his friendship with Bdubs that he wouldn't be a cheater. It's nice to see them both getting along, even if it's something as ridiculous as this.

And... Maybe there's part of him that wouldn't mind the two being in a relationship. But also with him. All three of them.

But for now, he's doing to continue burying that deep down where it can't cause any harm.

for the theme: knights (kinda modern day setting, implied nsfw)

false became a knight for one reason only; to make sure her family is save at home, getting fed regularly. etho on the other hand became a knight out of boredom, having run away from home recently, with no place to go but the knight academy. when he meets his senior, false, he immediately wants her to wreck him. though, some (sexy) drama ensues when she finds him sneaking around at night, snacking on the food that was meant for her family…

Etho didn't realise the food wasn't communal. It's in the kitchen, so he thought it was just available for all! He didn't know False had a long-standing pact with the chefs to keep food aside for her!

Etho just... he doesn't feel comfortable eating with the other knights. He hates showing his face, and eating is kind of hard without it. He sneaks food to a quiet place, since even their living space is shared.

He didn't expect to be caught. And he certainly didn't expect to be caught by the senior he fantasises about, whose food is what he's apparently eating. And who he can't even focus on her scolding because he's too busy looking at her lips. He thinks he manages to nod dumbly at the appropriate points.

False pretty quickly realises Etho isn't listening to her. She isn't blind, she's noticed the trainee watching her. He's a promising knight, though he lacks commitment. He could rival her if he put more effort into his training. Clearly, though, he's had other priorities...

Maybe she can make this work for both of them.

Ethalse for this week's theme? I've always imagined Etho as like a quiet stay-at-home dad and False as an overworked office worker, but they're always relaxed and happy together at home

It's not often they have the energy or time to spend in the bedroom. False is usually asleep the moment her head hits the pillow. Some nights she doesn't make it that far, and Etho carries her to bed from the sofa. The kids are at that frustrating stage where they want to do anything but sleep, so Etho is often up later than usual. It works well with his insomniac tendencies (he sometimes still does contract work late into the night) but mornings are awful.

They're lucky to have such good friends around them, who are happy to have the kids every so often. Despite that, they still spend most of those nights doing nothing more than sitting on the sofa and watching a movie.

It's not that they aren't as passionate about each other, just that it shows in different ways. Etho would probably say he enjoys the long conversations they have after sex to the sex itself. False would just say she loves how cute Etho looks when he's asleep.

False comes from a land where it’s common to gift your love ones their preferred choice of weapon so whenever she even sees the slightest speck of damage on her partner’s favorite tools or implements of murder there’s a new one suddenly next to their beds not even an hour later it’s gotten to the point where etho just has a entire chest filled with fishing poles.

He wishes she wouldn’t just give him a new one every single time, as he would never be able to use them all, but then he notices how much time she puts into each fishing rod, how each other has a small protective rune craved into the wood, and he doesn’t have the courage to bring it up anymore

Etho cuddle headcanons?

Etho loves to be cuddled, he convinces other hermits to cuddle him but by far his favorite person to cuddle is his partner False, who is another fox hybrid like him, which means they cuddle by laying on top of each other in one of their dens. (Etho is an arctic fox and False is a fennec fox)

Foxes are very flexible, so it looks like when they cuddle that they are boneless, due to the flexibility of their spine and how they lay on top of each other, head resting near each other, and arms and legs tangled.

Etho is taller then False so he curls around her more often then she curls around him. But they are both pretty short with Etho being 5’3 and False being 4’11

Feel dancing headcanons?

(I’m taking this as False x Etho - Mod Royal)

False is actually quite good with dancing because sword fighting involves a lot of graceful movement with stepping. Etho however has two left feet, and he had asked False to teach him because he wanted to be closer to her, though with every dip False does with him, he flushes bright red.

Scar has declared war on the Mycelium Resistance, and they are criminals of hermitcraft.

But the issue is, half of the HEP members are dating MR fighters.

Also the list if you want them-

Grian X Mumbo

Doc X Bdubs

False X Etho

Impulse X Tango

I’m sure this will cause no problems whatsoever, and there will be absolutely no spying, betrayal, or sneaky makeouts because of this setup. /s
