So. For people who are not Ethoslab watchers, in his most recent episode he showed off these beautiful statues Joel supposedly made of Etho in front of his house.
I figured Joel built them, and it seems Etho did too, because he sent Joel a message via mail about them.
This note... honestly surprised me a bit? I didn't think much of it at first, but the tone of it felt out of place. Obviously these two have this ongoing bit of being obsessed with each other, and they've done nothing recently but yes-and to the sun about it. This note seems to almost shut this bit down, saying "this bit hasn't gone too far yet, because I'm showing this on camera, but it's getting there." Which is a possible explanation for this note! But considering all they've done recently it feels very sudden.
And then. Joel claimed to not have built the statues. "Oh," I thought. "Joel is claiming not to have built the statues because he doesn't want to seem obsessed." Makes sense. Or maybe he *didn't* build the statues and someone is pranking them. That also makes sense.
But it was only when watching Joel talk about it on Impulse's stream, when I heard Joel say "honestly, I think Etho might have done it," that it clicked.
Oh.
This motherfucker.
He 100% did. That's why the message is so weird. Ethoslab built statues of himself outside Joel's base, messaged him via mail saying "that's kinda weird bro" and then DIDN'T EVER REVEAL THAT HE BUILT THEM. Oh my god THIS MAN...
From Etho's audience's perspective it just looks like Joel was continuing being obsessed with Etho, as usual, just another example in a long list. But *Joel* knows he didn't do that and *Etho* knows Joel will figure out who did. This mischievous motherfucker. Oh my godddd I hate them. Listening to him read back the note with that little smile in his voice. I am unwell. Why are they LIKE this

house md s8 was like seeing a beautiful glimpse of the yuri that cldve been with the weird shit park and adams had going on. then they shoved visibly lesbian chi park and homosexual idiot robert chase together and held them at gunpoint until they very hesitantly pretended to enjoy being in the same room as each other
When you love a character but don’t want to be associated with the Waifu crowd because you don’t vibe with self-insert BS and feel despair when after years of relatively tame fanservice, the writing decides to suddenly shift into maximum player pandering for literally no good, discernible reason, much to the grievance of people who previously loved the writing for treating its characters respectfully by not making them vehicles for self-insert fantasies, completely dismissing previously-established relationships and characterization. Total whiplash.
Guys, I just realized that Dean's been considered a weapon all his life and he shares his last name with a kind of gun. Guys help. How did I not notice this.
