i am they and i am them i genuinely detest gender and the effects it has had on me lasting 24 years in agony and poverty under capitalism i am so fond of Bdoubleo and Etho. to the point of character and meta-analysis,  they are my fathers and i love them let me creatively dissect and discuss relationships critically and creatively, lets bend the laws of language lets be insane together lets not if you dont want to

fondly looks over at my boyfriend

[smileymoth]

the juxtaposition of the bdoubleo100 (john) and bdoubleo100 (bdubs) is so beautiful imo. also the microphone pointed at the pink binch in the right bottom corner .

etho: diamond armor looks kind of bad…

bdubs: *quietly removes diamond boots*

[bellshazes]

refound the bdubs clip where he's like "do we have an obligation to be social and friendly or is it morally acceptable to be a recluse" and i feel like gnawing off my own arm.

[bellshazes]

he concludes that when he's standoffish and shy it makes him a jerk but advises the audience if you are nervous socially to find a very shy person and engage them because then you can be a light for someone and do some good in the world and it's low stakes bc they're so nervous they won't judge you for it so it's safe.

@brawnie replied to your post “refound the bdubs clip where he's like "do we have...”:

Do you have a link to said clip?

​it's a longish segment that starts about here, in ep 304 of bwbs2!

"Is Etho's Lab Autistic?" - the greatest thread in the history of MCYTblr, locked by a moderator after 12,239 pages of heated debate,

NOT INTENDED to be a diagnostic resource or an "accusation/truthing" of Etho being autistic, but rather comparing autistic criterion as printed in the DSM-5 with various clips and common autistic experiences, since he has many autistic fans who relate to him. Also because it's a little funny and it's always fun to see more Etho clips. Some of these clips may overlap categories.

A: Persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction.

Unaware of social conventions or context; makes socially inappropriate comments (especially to strangers)

Bdubs: "One of the first things he said to me... Bdubs, you are always sick. I never get sick."

"I was at the DMV, for like, fifteen minutes."

(Gem: "Sometimes the things that come out of your mouth are... unexpected.") "That's how you get laughs, Gem."

Lack of theory of mind (difficulty or inability to recognise cognitive differences- assumes everyone thinks similarly and will understand any references or explanations made, no matter how particular)

"PLETHORA!"

"It's the same noise tigers make when they chuff."

"Feel free to boo if you wish." ("Boo!")

B: Restricted, repetitive patterns of behaviour, interests or activities.

Idiosyncratic or metaphorical language (language that has meaning only to those familiar with the individual's communication style) (also extends to a very particular or idiosyncratic sense of humour that appeals only to themselves)

"The Office is a good show..."

"Objectify them! Objectify them real good!"

"What's the deal with bathroom... peanuts...?"

"This is probably the greatest story you will ever hear in your lifetime."

"And he's like, Etho, don't go in there."

Echolalia (immediate or delayed repetition of sounds, words or phrases)

"Meow!"

"Deh-deh-deh!"

"We got go get wool!" (More mature jargoning than echolalia, but still)

Rigid thinking (difficulty or inability to understand humour, irony, or implied meanings)

"That's Not What That Is."

"I don't have social skills, Grian.."

Particular interests, often on unorthodox things or with uncommon levels of intensity

Sourcing exact clips for this one is tricky, but being a Minecraft YouTuber is one of the most autistic things a person can do imo.

Specifically, a redstone Minecraft YouTuber. Who invents stuff like the Nexus.

(On fireworks, something he's made frequent references to and also tried to make as a kid) "I'm like a kid in a candy store right now!"

Anxiety around change/transitional periods

"Whenever I'm recording a new series with a bunch of new people, the stress... I start to feel it in my stomach." (Gem: "Aw, that's anxiety!")

C: Other things I felt were relevant but couldn't decide on a category for

"I used to go out after rainstorms and pick (worms) up..." (Guude: "Would you let them go ever, or-") "No, I usually forgot about 'em... found 'em later all dried up..."

Cleo: "To be fair, Etho never claims he's a grown up, he just sort of.. giggles and runs away."

"Guys? GUYS?!"

Hiding in the bathroom at MCC

Vaxxed?

Mannerisms such as his "sleepy" or monotone voice from earlier years, or "whisper-shouting" rather than actually yelling.

Thanks

the greatest story of all time

[mcyt-transcribed]

[transcript:

Etho: —sode, we are gonna have story time. That's right. It's story time. Otherwise it's just—this gets kinda boring for both you and for me. (laughs) If it's nothing but building. Uh, so this is probably the greatest story you will ever hear in your lifetime. So get ready! Uh, I am a cereal guy, guys. I uh, pretty much have always had cereal for breakfast. I'm talking about food. (laughs) Um. Yeah pretty much my whole life I always had cereal for breakfast. Um. I went through one period, of uh, a few years where I had like, bagels and stuff, and... We don't call them bagels, by the way. Bagels. Um. Then for a few—few years I went without eating breakfast at all. I don't know why I did that. It wasn't very good. Um... But, probably my top three cereals of all time have been Life, Cheerios, and Mini Wheats. Mini Wheats is my current favourite, and that's pretty much what I have every morning for breakfast. Throughout my lifetime, though, guys, of eating Mini Wheats—like, I've eaten a lot of Mini Wheats in my days—every now and then in, in the bag of Mini Wheats, you will see a double Mini Wheat. Like where two Mini Wheats are glued together. They didn't separate properly, right? It's a rare sight, happens... Not that rare, actually, like, usually on average... two or three or four times a bag? So it happens. It happens. The odd time, this is very rare, you will get a triple Mini Wheat. Three of 'em together. But I kid you not, guys, yesterday, having my Mini Wheats, there was a quadruple Mini Wheat. Two by two Mini Wheat. That's right. I've only seen that maybe two or three times in my lifetime. (laughs) Definitely the rarest thing you will ever see in a Mini Wheat bag. I've never seen five Mini Wheats together. And only a couple times have I seen four. So you go... When you grow up, and you have little children, make sure you tell them my Mini Wheats story. (laughs) And they will be impressed. It'll be the greatest thing they ever hear. That's all I got guys, I'm sorry. (laughs) I couldn't think of a story. Um... But we got some building done in that time, how about that?

His greed for gravel sickens me

[evilbeast-moved]

happy pride month heres bdubs saying faggot real not clickbait

[evilbeast-moved]

i really like that the vast majority of the tags are like "yeah ok he gets a pass"

[bellshazes]

[tomorrowillbeyou]

i like him.

[dogscorp]

god i need bdubs to win the next season. i just know that man would be sooooo obnoxious about it

[theperksofbeingaworm]

Give them guns he'd win ( SotF season 2 (I just rewatched his POV, I loved watching him go paranoid alone in a forest for over an hour))

[going-to-the-sun]

any good ethubs girlie needs to be able to go into hibernation mode during the stretches of time where they disappear. they can't stop me from thinking about them while I catch up on chores or go to work. I'll be laying in wait for their return.

[theperksofbeingaworm]

My recommendation : go watch Mindcrack season 2 on ethos channel. I have been watching as of late, etho and bdubs from 12 years ago are so sweet on each other

[theperksofbeingaworm]

Horribly loud VOLUME WARNING

but then bdubs cutely says yay cave tree

Funny and friendly episode posted 11 years ago

[beemo-clippin]

The block men are flirting again (9 years ago I mean)

Clipped from Bdubs' video, "Minecraft Mods - FlyBoys :: Derp Head! :: Episode 59" (13:04-14:23) and Ethos' video, "Minecraft - Fly Boys #19: Iron Automation" (1:56-3:45)

Transcription and measly video description below cut:

Bdubs places gray and tan colors on a wall, in the center of red blocks shaped as a target

Bdubs: Alright. What is this everybody? Boom boom, boom boom. Any of these colors look familiar to you? A friend of yours, maybe? Somebody that you love so much. Somebody that you passionately care about? Somebody that has sustained you through the years, possibly? *laughs* I'm sorry, this is getting crazy. Ookay. Then this will go...

The blocks come together to resemble Ethoslab's face. Bdubs makes his eyes derpy, one looking down and one looking up

Bdubs (cont.): mhm, and... perfect. *laughs* I'm sorry *laughs* I love it :D This is my own little flare I've added to it here. Ohh, man. *kekek*

Bdubs places the blocks for Etho's mask and looks at his masterpiece, a mural of Etho's derpy face in the crossfire of a gun

Bdubs (cont.): Listen! He's my friend. Etho and I are friends, but this is just too good to pass up. *laughs hysterically* Ohh man. Hee looks amazing! Okay. *deep laughter*

-- cut at 0:43 to Etho's perspective --

Etho flies in a helicopter and looks at the mural Bdubs made

Etho: Yeah, look at this. That's supposed to be me! Look what he did to me! Oh my goodness. He was laughing the whole time. Giggling like a little schoolgirl, the whole time he built that.

Cut to Etho standing on the ground, looking at himself in third person. He crouches and the camera zooms in close as Etho stares directly into it

Etho: Bdouble0. You think you've one upped me. But I got something for you. *laughs* Guess what? I learned how to use schematica today. Uh huh! (struggles to open a UI) Op, maybe not. There we go. You see this? Secret stuff? I wonder what that could be. I'll give you a hint, Bdouble0. It's over 50,000 blocks! And it's all for you. *laughs* Just you wait.
