[hermitcraft/life series content creators do not interact please! <3]
Hullo, I’m Traveler, or TransientTraveler! They/Them, Bdubs enthusiast, and (usually) a fandom lurker. But this fic idea (BMBE)… it grabbed me by the shirt and shook me around and I realized I had to write it so others could see my vision.

Build Me a Bed in the Earth — BMBE, Ethubs fanfiction
Currently in the works! Please ask me questions, ask for snippets, make art, or post your own thoughts and headcanons, it motivates me like crazy!
Summary:
Set during COVID-19 lockdown, Bdubs is restless and looking for an outlet other than endless hours sitting behind his computer screen. As much as he loves Minecraft, his job, and the friends he’s made through it, he craves a grounding force in the wiggly time of being stuck at home for months. Discovering a bushcrafting channel and regaining his inspiration for painting may just be his ticket out of going completely stir-crazy!
Meanwhile, Etho is coming to terms with the fact that he’s been living in stagnation for the past five years. Ever since he left the family business to earn fully through content creation, he’s had more time on his hands than he knows what to do with. That has offered him far too much time to think. So, he does what he always does for comfort; play Minecraft, and take every opportunity to escape to the woods where he can pour himself into bushcrafting. He doesn’t have a goal, or a vision for the future, but he doesn’t need one. He just is. Hovering in limbo, all too willing to let time keep rolling on without him. That is, until a kind message and a gifted painting from a fan of his bushcraft appears in his inbox. Suddenly, he’s talking to them every day, sharing joy in each other’s craft and… they feel a bit familiar.
I use the filter tag RPF out of respect for those who wish to avoid real person fiction of all kinds, but this falls into the category of imagination, not speculation. When discussing the BMBE fic on any website, please always tag it as such out of respect for my wishes and out of respect for others.
Feel free to bully me into writing any time you like! I struggle with perfectionism paralysis which slows down my writing, but you (yes you) can speed up my process by bullying me (or by sharing your own fic ideas)
