re-read the 200s and I love their awkward phase in-between animosity and rekindled friendship :) bakugo has an awkward way of expressing his interest and worries regarding deku’s quirk and deku in general it’s so funny to follow

Here we go again, more stats of Ethogirls and Etho
Some things to note:
They each have a different numbers of episodes out, so in order to keep this fair I took the total of times they say a Hermits name and then graphed what the distribution is
I have not counted their own names in these graphs because I didn't count how many times Etho said his own name (my bad)
Both Bdubs and Joel say their own names more than any other name (I will include their graphs with the stats that include their own names under this)
Etho and Bdubs mention each other the most, and Joel mentions Gem the most and Gem mentions Grian the most
Etho barely says Joel's name in his videos, which is kinda funny to me, Bdubs says Joel's name more often than Etho, both in raw numbers and when put into percentages
Joel, of all the three Ethogirls, says Etho's name the least in his videos compared to how often he says other Hermit's names
Grian is the only Hermit Gem has mentioned in every single one of her episodes so far
I will reblog this post with the raw data so people can double check my measurements
I give my full permission to post this stuff on twitter as long as you don't tag the creators or anything
So if Joel, Bdubs's or Gem's own names are included in their stats, these are their graphs:
In conclusion, Etho is a Bdubs fan first and foremost
Bdubs is the biggest Ethogirl so far
Joel is a Gemboy and the least Ethogirl of the Ethogirls
Gem is a Grian fan

I can't stop thinking about just how emblematic everything in those conversations of Ashton being "a child" are of how, even at her most beaten down, triggered and traumatized, Laudna is not and will not be what Delilah wants her to be.
For Delilah, "they're still a child" is dismissive, a bit derisive, but doesn't even merit being truly hateful. She doesn't find Ashton worth the attention Laudna is giving them, not when there are such more interesting, important things to pull the attention of an adult. Children are only important when they are useful. She will indulge Laudna on the subject, because Laudna is useful, is her vehicle for action in the world, but she only cares about it in the context of getting Laudna to do what she wants. Calling someone a child is calling them unimportant. (Laudna is a child to her)
But for Laudna, who loves children and who understands intimately what it's like to have the helplessness of child, to be trapped under the authority of someone who will never treat you as a full person, even when they are being ostensibly kind, to be so confused and lost and powerless...a child deserves attention more than anyone else. Of course children lash out. Being a child IS in many ways quite awful because the world is so big around you and you don't know yet how to react to any of it, how to soothe yourself - and if you aren't given the attention, you never learn how. Ashton never learned how. Her instincts - instincts trained into her by manipulation and abuse from inside and the world around her - may say kill him, but she fights them the whole way because her heart is stronger and her heart says that the angriest, most volatile child needs care as much as any other. More, even.
Laudna hears Delilah call Ashton a child and agrees on the word, but they have diametrically opposed understandings of what that means, and diametrically opposed instincts on how to treat a child. Laudna doesn't want to hurt anyone, especially children. She loves children. She loves so much and so selflessly. And Delilah is so very very good at manipulating her but she has tried for 30 years to change the bedrock of Laudna's psyche, the truer thing that drives her beyond the base animal instincts of survival, and it hasn't worked.
