May I request Ethex for tha brainrot
It took an embarrassingly long time for Etho and Ex to realise they're the same... Species. If 'lab-created clone' counts as a species. In their defence, it's not like they talk to each other very often. Xisuma's tried to encourage it, but Etho is terrible at meeting new people and Ex is stubborn at anything Xisuma tells him to do.
Now Ex is even more grumpy, because it turns out Xisuma was right. He does get along well with Etho. It is nice having someone who understands him.
He'll allow it this once. Just because it brought him Etho.
I’m guessing being evil is not so pleasant after all.
Also him and Etho to kind of complement the drawing of Grian and Jimmy
[Etho/EX]
When EX first proposed the idea of a mass destruction weapon, Etho was one of the chosen scientists to help because of his skills. Him and EX ended up bonding over the time both of them spent doing blueprints of the mechanical elements. But they also needed a live creature. It was found out that creepers were the best test subjects because of their resistance and camouflage abilities.
Etho at first didn’t think much, it was just a mindless hostile mob after all.
But the creation they named D.O.C.M-77 gained a mind of it’s own, and rebelling, which caused a huge explosion that destroyed the lab.
Etho wasn’t present at the time of the explosion, since he was busy on Hermitcraft.
And then one day while gathering recourses, he stumbled onto what remained of the lab, and, of course, the unconscious amalgamation that they created, still alive, hissing at him, all wounded and scratched.
He couldn’t believe what he learned after he brought him home and nursed him back to health. The things EX did.
Etho felt so guilty.
He didn't realise how much he was unaware of. Did EX hide this from him? It doesn't make sense... They trusted each other, right? And yet, EX had continued to mistreat the creation even after they noted his sentience. Even his sentience was hidden from Etho, despite it clearly being explored in their studies!
He has no time to be bogged down by the betrayal. He needs to look after Doc, it's the least he deserves after... After all of this. Maybe that's the best way to get back at what EX did to them.
after Etho's disappearance from the End, Ex couldn't find peace. They almost turned the void upside down searching. And they blamed the watchers, culminating in a huge conflict with the latter. In the middle of everything, there was Hels. Oh, how EX hated him.
And Hels felt the same. They both formed some sort of weird relationship. wanting to hurt each other and simultaneously madly in love. Each meeting would end in a fight that both would walk out of beaten up and bloody.
But neither could let go, choosing to stay and continue that cycle. Even when Ex found Etho again, who couldn't forgive them after the destruction they caused.
They'd become obsessive in their own destructions, refusing to stop for anything. The world could be ending and they'd still be looking for ways to one up the other and come out on top.
And now Ex has pushed away the one person they did all this for. Etho is horrified at what they've become. He wants nothing to do with it, and he makes that clear. He leaves, this time on purpose. After all this, Etho fought to come back and Ex scared him away.
What do they have left but to fight? At least Hels is always there for them.
Ex and Etho?
EX is a lot nicer now. To be fair, it was a low bar, but he genuinely loves Etho, and he doesn’t want to hurt the things Etho loves. Still, he has some violent urges, which he takes out by... customizing dolls? Etho is a little worried about the joy he takes in ripping their heads off, but how can he care when EX loves his new hobby so much?

Etho makes a living in the wasteland shooting down supply drones and harvesting the food and medicine inside. He only shares when absolutely necessary- until he happened upon the stoic inventor Evil X, who claims to be able to rebuild the drones and use them against the government- or he will be able to, if he can just reverse engineer it. Etho has never given anything away for free in his life before, but now he’s trekking across the wasteland to deliver broken drones to Mumbo (and stutter out a few awkward words of conversation, too).
Hermitshipcanon #225
By the time they got EX unbanned, he was sick. Instead of feverish, he was oddly cold, frostbitten, and barely conscious. While Xisuma was consumed with guilt, unable to face what he had done, Etho nursed his clone back to health. When EX’s eyes finally opened to an etherial white-haired man carefully giving him water, he felt sure he had been saved by an angel.
