Thinkin about Etho and Tommy innit right now lmao. There's something so bratty about Tommy but there's this inner maturity and a deeper side to him that could make for a great relationship with Etho. Tubbo would introduce them, maybe Tommy is out to learn some redstone and Tubbo sets Etho up to be his teacher. Maybe Tommy isn't so good at it, and Etho believes in him but has to be a little bit strict. Maybe Etho really enjoys seeing that deeper side of Tommy that's a little more serious, who wants to do well for him but doesn't understand why he cares so much about getting it right. Etho would set him an assignment, make a basic farm or write about a mechanic in the game, and Tommy would work so so hard just to please him. When he gives his assignment in? Well Etho praises his little student until he's a blushing mess. But when Tommy is with his friends again, he'll continue to be that brat, continue to be hyper and lively, until Etho walks up to them and asks to speak to him. He gets quiet. He follows along politely like a puppy because he knows he has to. Etho knows there's a power imbalance, but the more he looks at his student, the more he thinks about what it would be like to have him under him, to hear him and feel him as he takes everything so well for him.
