Hii I was wondering if you have any thoughts on little Etho? I adore him and I need more people’s thoughts on him (not at all mandatory but if you also have any thoughts on him having scar as a carer I would love to hear)
Little!Etho, my beloved!!
When he first started regressing he thought he was older than he actually was. He wouldn’t talk to many people about it but he was convinced that he regressed to like 10-13. This was very wrong, he is so baby. It took talking to Pearl about teen regression and seeing Gem regress to realize that maybe he was wrong…
Struggles a little more with his motor skills when regressed. He’s brushing hair out of his face with his whole hand and really struggles with picking papers or coins up off of tables.
Little gear and stuffies are something that Etho felt a lot of shame around and wouldn’t keep. He has had a lot of help changing this mindset, Gem and Cleo being really big help. He now has a stuffie that he can whip out whenever he needs it. No one knows where he keeps it, in his inventory, shulker box, or ender chest but it’s always available in seconds notice.
-> It’s an arctic fox that was gift to him from Pearl when she realized he was regressing littler than he would claim. He tried to get rid of it or regift it to Gem but he can’t give away a nice present.
He loves watching Minecraft videos when little. He likes something thats nice and calming. A Bdubs building video is a good go to.
He’s always sooo sleepy. Maybe it’s because he usually regresses late afternoon or close to bedtime or maybe it’s the nice warm cuddles that his CGs are more than willing to provide.
CG!Etho with a scar
Etho isn’t the first CG with a scar (GTWS has him beat) but he is the first with a facial scar. Honestly, he’s more worried about it than the littles. He’s worries that having a facial scar might make him look scary to the littles. They however don’t care very much. Everyone has known Etho for a while so its not unsettling its just Etho <3
His scar is quite old but it has healed red and affected his vision. Usually it’s not too bad but depth perception with only one fully functioning eye is difficult. However, sippy cups make everything easier. Lots of little gear is designed for littles to not spill things but it also works when your carer misses the edge of the table.
Littles love drawing Etho! Not a lot of people have two colored eyes or red. They have lots of fun making him pose. Etho collects the drawings for days when he worries about what the hermits think.
Littles love asking questions! Which is understandable, there’s a natural curiosity in little kids. He doesn’t tell them the real story but he always has a silly story for them. He says that a unicorn scratched his eye and that’s what made it red.
Scar loves hanging out with Etho! Sometimes he feels subconscious about his own scars when little but seeing Etho be confident regardless helps! Skizz is a big fan too, he doesn’t have the confidence issues (because it’s Skizz!) but loves being around someone that understands.
Hope these CG!Etho headcanons were good! Might not be what you expected but I didn’t want to lean into the “scars are scary” thing. I don’t think scars are scary and I don’t think people have that innately. I believe curiosity is more likely especially since littles already know Etho and are comfortable with him.
