etho is truly an enigma. doesn't post hermitcraft episodes for 2 months, then comes back with a terraforming video. okay cool, i love hearing etho talk about his builds. throughout the episode he explains that he enjoys adding realism to his builds. yknow the curvature of the river has to make sense
and like sure etho, i dont really pay attention to that but it's a nice detail. hard cut, he's done terraforming and he walks to the lake he was creating and explains "oh yea i added a beaver dam, because i wanted to explain why the river is lower than the lake" and like ???
man goes off on a tangent about beavers, explains that beavers have orange teeth in reality as opposed to the pristine white teeth they have in cartoons, ponders on the fact whether we as humans would choose stronger orange teeth over conventially attractive yet weaker, white teeth. then he explains he's thinking about adding more beaver stuff, a little beaver lodge for the beavers to raise their young, bird nexts ontop of these lodges, a coyote stalking the beavers, fallen trees that the beavers have been chopping down.
then he goes "oh i actually spend some time figuring out how to build beavers" AND THEN
there's even an orange to white gradient on the beavers teeth..
effervescent , truly nobody does it like him
You’re ruining the moment, xisuma
big advocate for vampire vintagebeef because i just think it would be very fucking funny if he was bitten by a bat or something and just never realized he was turned into a vampire. he wonders why he gets sunburnt so easily and then spends a whole season in the middle of buttfuck nowhere with the sun beating on his back every single day. he thinks his “very sharp canines” is just a normal thing in his genetic code that came with puberty. he eats raw meat and when questioned he’s like “don’t bully me i like my steak rare :(“ and then pause is like my guy that’s not rare steak that shit’s legendary

Sooooo, I found a etho or Kakashi test by @echogarden1
(The idea was 100% echogarden1s idea so credit to them)
But they were unable to credit the artists cuz it was from Pinterest, so I made a new etho or Kakashi test with the tumbler accounts used on top of the art, and all credit to the amazing artists!!!
This is the test:
Would love to see this rebloged with yalls scores☺️
pretty specific audience for this
Thirteen years ago on this day in Minecraft history, I tried flipping through a Greek prayer book before a PVP game in order to lead my team in an appropriate invocation.
I failed.

To combat misinformation about Mumbo's retirement, we asked a noted retirement expert Tom Scortt to comment on it
for drawin reqs: Etho washing dishes
seems like Pause has finished his hot coco at the wrong time
they're shapeshifters btw
ok so, Pause is the land and sky wild life (any local bird species and local mammal), Etho is underwater (fish and one arctic fox because spirit reasons), and Beef is any domestic animal.
In last comic, Beef refers to time when humanity didn't exist (and he as well), meaning that they couldn't speak in words.
Yeah... that means Etho and Pause are kinda ancient. Btw they don't have these names, but I don't have any clue what to name those guys... It would probably be a nickname, or maybe i can just look in my local language vocabulary to merge some up xD
I love how etho gets meaner when pause is around
transcript:
Etho: Oh man, I'm hungry...
Pause: Yeah, me too.
Beef: how hungry?
Your art is so so wonderful thank you single-handedly feeding my etho addiction. I could talk UHC Etho / Etho lore all day long. In your drawings Etho sometimes has that eye bandage- do you headcanon that he sustained the injury in his final UHC? Do you have any other headcanons surrounding it, like does it affect him in other later series?
hello!!! thank you so much for the kind words :'D
my original idea was that the injury led him to step back from uhcs
but then i thought it'd be more interesting if the eye injury actually came from pause's kill on him in s15! idk! maybe the injury hindered him during s16 and was the final sign that he should probably just retire lmao
but at the end of the day, i forget to draw his scar 90% of the time, so i don't have too many other ideas after that o(-(
Some of Skizz's scars are actually Eyes.
Some that were Eyes are actually scars.
And some started as one and...became the other.
-
Secondary forms- be they extra limbs, a whole body transformation, just a quick shift in height or eyecolor- are just as usual on Hermitcraft as they are anywhere else in the multiverse. No one questions it when BDubs occasionally becomes a tree, or a shrub, or something in between. That last one's mostly because someone made fun of his height and he's decided he's done being a person for a while.
No one questions Impulse's disappearing and reappearing horns, in every state of trimmed or untrimmed they could be. Granted you don't often see Tango's blaze shards, but that's because to get them his hair must also be on fire and Tango deals with a lot of stuff that fire isn't terribly friendly with.
Sometimes something sleek goes by in the water and it's Gem, of course it's Gem, it's wearing a wide sash around its waist and it has a diamond sword.
Skizz fits neatly with his fellow hermits in this way. His peek a boo wings are the most obvious secondary thing about him, as is his halo with its blue crystal inclusions and sharp thorns, an obvious weapon that nonetheless only ever seems to circle lazily about his head, sometimes a single hoop, sometimes two. Impulse confirms for a curious False that he's seen as many as seven, though he's not sure if they're just projections of the original or extra copies.
The Eyes, though.
The Eyes are...sorta. Spooky.
They fit in the same category as Cleo if you think too hard, or what's beneath Etho's mask, or why precisely Doc has creeper parts. Still a part of their friend, nothing he can change, yet an indication of past and tragedy that no one wants to remind him of.
Since the zombie hoard incident, Skizz has opened more Eyes a couple times- on his arms, mostly, just quick blinks to help him confirm information, a lapis wink that's there one second and gone the next.
It explains the lack of sleeves nicely.
"Do you have eyes in the back of your head?" XB had once asked, exasperated after Skizz managed to foil an arrow prank seven times in a row.
"Nope!" Skizz tells him. "I used to, though."
"You used to?"
"Yeah! I got rid of it."
XB doesn't ask any more questions, but Mumbo nearby hears it, and he wonders.
He of course brings his wonderings to Grian.
Grian, who fearlessly lands on the tip of Skizz's pyramid and peers over him, about to ask another awkward question, emboldened by how far he and the angel have come.
From this angle, he realizes he can see it.
Or where it used to be.
There is a spot on the base of Skizz's neck that is a starburst of scar tissue, a webby knotted mass that looks like chewed gum popped all over. There's a clear indentation in it, a spot where something would have been.
Something like an Eye.
"What's up, G?" Skizz asks, and Grian blinks at him.
"Skizz. Your eyes don't all do the same thing, right?"
"Right." Skizz moves another block. "They read other light levels, mostly. I don't think I've got the same range as Doc's terminator eye, but he can just add new software whenever, I'm stuck with what I've got."
"Um. Okay." "I stabbed it out." It's said like Etho would say it, or Impulse. Matter of fact, quick. "It's how Command told me what to do. Not control me- they didn't need an Eye for that- but how they issued orders in a way I could understand and interpret."
Grian swallows weakly. "Oh."
"It's been a long time, G. I mostly forget about it." A brief pause. "Well. It's been on my mind lately, but." Skizz looks up. "Grian I want you to do me a favor." "Yeah?" "Don't feel sorry for me." "Skizz?" "Don't. I made it. I lived. I got off my beacon before it killed me and I can't say that about a whole lot of my siblings. This?" he gestures at the view from the top of his tower, at Gem's lighthouse and Scar's trees and the distant shopping district. "This is more than I could have ever imagined, Grian. More than I thought I'd ever get."
Skizz hops up beside Grian, sits down.
"What is Hermitcraft to you, Grian?" Skizz asks.
"Uh- it's- it's home. It's family." Grian looks up. "It's all these skies and all the laughter and, being harassed into putting backs on builds and watching new things be created it's so much."
Grian looks up at Skizz. "What is it to you?"
Skizz smiles. "It's a very old soldier's very happy ending, G." Skizz says. "And I wouldn't trade it for anything in the entire multiverse."
He wraps the smaller man in a one armed, one winged hug. "So forget about it, okay? Scars are scars. I've got 'em. You'll get 'em. That's just life. Besides. I've got more than enough Eyes to compensate, and so do you."
Grian sniffles and laughs. "Mine don't count."
"Ah, that's right. Only above a certain height limit."
"Skizz!" Grian laughs. The angel gets up. "Come on, G," he says. "There's gotta be someone worth hawkeyeing out there somewhere." "I..do have some TNT." "HAH! Reliable as Bdubs' clock. Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
And a very old soldier and his avian friend take off into the sapphire sky, leaving cares temporarily on the earth below.
forest
audio from: don't starve together - a new reign #17 from EthosLab 7:25 but please imagine that they're on a hike
Transcript:
Beef: Ok. I'm coming down.
Etho: Th-. There's like a forest down here.
Beef: (in a tiny voice) ...you're a forest.
Pause: Wow, dude!
Etho: Always...
Pause: Incredibly rude!
Etho: Always with that...
Pause: The hostility...
Beef: (wheeze) "Always" with what???
Etho: I am not a forest!!! How many times do i have to tell you-
Beef: Down there! There's a forest down there!
Etho: How many times do I have to tell you I'm not a forest.
a brief history of etho and his 20 year old keyboard that he can't quite seem to move on from
Cub and etho’s little interaction at the start of Cub’s new video is SO funny to me. The slight awkwardness. Both of them pausing too long before speaking. Cub landing after failing to hit etho with the mace, pausing, unmuting, then going NOOOO *bewildered Etho Minecraft body language* do you want to come smash people with me 🥺
A compilation of Etho reacting to his 2011 1k subscriber special.
Clipped from the 1 million sub special, "Etho Plays Minecraft - Episode 283: 1 Million!" (starting at 28:40)
Feedback:
This was my first time doing captioning so please do let me know if there’s anything that can be improved! Even if it’s style-wize bc I’m bad at that stuff.
And as always, let me know if I can improve my video descriptions or transcriptions :)
Video description and transcription below cut:
Video description:
Etho's first-person POV in his 2011 Minecraft Let's Play world. It is night and Etho is on a beach as he introduces the video as well as a celebratory tree sapling placed near the water. The video is a screen recording, and 2013 Etho commentates over it, but is unseen.
———
Cut to a new clip in the same setting. It is nighttime and Etho places a torch on a path of dirt blocks, lighting the area. The dirt blocks connect to the top of the tree, now grown, with a mob trap on top (a pressure plate surrounded by 4 doors). Etho walks through the trap and down some dirt steps. He walks around the dim-lit beach as older Etho laughs at him.
———
Cut to a new clip in the same setting. It is day now and Etho is on top of the tree, trying to lead a creeper into the mob trap. He breaks the door closest to the creeper, the creeper jumps and Etho backs away. The creeper explodes, bringing Etho to three and a half hearts, and destroying the top of the tree. As older Etho reacts in amusement, young Etho looks at the tree in shock, opens his inventory, drops a dirt block, and jumps down to the beach. A zombie floats in the water, and Etho tries to attack it with his sword, but is killed by the zombie.
———
Cut to a new clip in the same setting. It is day and Etho stands on the beach looking at the tree. The leaves have been reconstructed with wool and the entire thing is on fire. Etho jumps around as he watches the wool burn away. A piece of TNT is revealed in the center of the tree, and when lit by the fire, it explodes in a flurry of white and black particles, taking a chunk of the beach with it. Etho walks over and looks down at the destruction as older Etho pauses the video in amusement.

Etho: Here it comes
Young Etho: It's gonna be a great tree ^-^
Etho: *laughs loudly* Needed a long pause there for emphasis
———
Etho: Yes! And a torch, he placed a torch! *laughs* I love how it's pitch black and you can't see anything.
Young Etho: Okay. So this is where the guest of honor's gonna sit.
Etho: And you've got an inventory full of torches and you're not using them. *laughs*
Young Etho: I really wish we got a better tree out of this, but whatever
Etho: I wish we could see
———
Etho: *laughs loudly* Aww special ruined. I- I was so, so sad. I didn't know what to do. What do I do now?
I- I'm not talking at all. It's just like... I failed. I failed. *laughs*
———
Young Etho: Awesome!!!
Etho: *laughs* Having the time of my life here. And a piece of TNT goes off. *laughs* And that was my special
