secret life has got to be my favorite life series so far…… like the concept itself is brilliant bc the goal of collaborative series like these is to spread the attention across different youtubers and secret life did just that!!! every person acting strange leaves you wanting to see what their task was and Oh it is so fun seeing everyone’s interpretations of them . i haven’t watched everyone’s perspective but watching people I don’t usually watch Just to figure out why they did x is ridiculously fun . whatever i love it

#AND THE FACT THAT THERES SIDE PLOTS THAT YOU WONT EVEN HEAR ABT UNLESS YOU WATCH A SELECT GROUP’S VIDEOS.. #it rings the Among Us bells in my head and that’s why i like it so much i think #talking #life series #i think im annoying my friends on discord w my clip spamming #specifically from bdubs

So, um, basing on what is the result of smashing an androids head open is in dbh, uhhhh. gg etho rest in peace :|

Yeah mans is not doing well. Etho needed a LOT of physical repairs after this incident, and that’s not even taking into account the programming/internal errors that caused it in the first place. Doc and Xisuma spend a LONG time trying to fix him before they eventually deem his programming unsalvageable and reset him.

#they spend a LONG time trying to replace all of the plating where etho got MORE physically broken (his forehead and his arm) #but specifically they spend a lot of time very carefully replacing the plating #because they don’t want to completely restore his shell— etho had wanted to keep the cracks from the explosion incident afterall #and if they’re gonna try to restore etho to his previous state they have to be so careful to restore the cracks the way they originally were #etho’s cheek is fine because nothing got worse there #but I imagine it’s really hard to fix his forehead (where there was a crack that went through his eye up to his hairline) and his arm— #without it looking ever so slightly different than it was before #I wonder if etho ever notices it after he deviates again #bdubs probably wouldn’t because he’s not necessarily privy to exact photographic memory like androids #but maybe etho would notice a hairline crack at a slightly different angle or that has a slightly different bend at the top. who knows #sorry I rambled way longer than I meant to DGJBCGHN #ask #dbhc ask #dbhc etho #chlopieno

bdubs going “what have i ever done to sweet impulse?” then impulse’s large pause before going “WELL, let’s see. THIRD LIFE—“ is SO fucking funny holy shit

#the references and specific Things they hold over from previous seasons are so dear to me i love them #tango cleo impulse the forever grievance brothers . to bdubs’ detriment lmao #fascinating how at some points it’s like Guy who never forgets the slight done against them ever vs Guy trying to move forwards #jay rambles #this is at 7:19:00 about in bdubs’ limlife video #got clockduo on the brain atm…… #edit: no sorry it’s 7:17:05 #traffic.txt #imp.txt #bdub.txt

Bdubs' typing style

saw a post that i felt did Not describe bdubs' typing habits correctly at all so i needed to make a post about it.

OLD typing style (like 2011 early years) bdubs kinda sucked at typing and grammar lol. He was a slow typer and spelled stuff wrong a lot (mostly big words. he would often voice how he didnt know how to spell sometimes as he did it. and then he'd spell it wrong lol). would type abbreviations too like bbl, brb, lol, np, etc. Sometimes he would type ones like "lol" in all caps. He would also shorten some words/spell them an alternate way like "gunna" instead of "gonna" or "lil" instead of "little"

He didn't really use emotes too much other than a basic :) or ;) usually. you could maybe throw in a :P or :D if you wanted but i mostly see the former.

He would not use other punctuation like apostrophes much if at all, sometimes use commas where needed, and not capitalize his sentences. would use periods if typing more than one sentence in the same message, and using question marks where needed, and sometimes exclamation marks if he felt the need (sometimes more than one if hes "mad"). he'd even use "..." in his sentences (usually without a space between words).

examples from mindcrack

NEW typing style- Bdubs is technically better at typing (lol). One of the issues with new videos though in order to find chat messages is that people often cut out any kind of chatting in edited videos. But i will describe what i can based off what we do see- (its not much different tbh)

A bit faster of a typer now but if you watch him actually type in videos/streams, you'll see him get stuck sometimes as he tries to figure out his sentences. but he does spell things correctly now for the most part.

Interestingly I would sometimes see in old videos where id see him typing some sentences in a more ~proper~ manner. ex one being "i look forward to seeing such things as these" at guude when he said he was recording something. In hermitcraft charity stream last year he whispered to etho "of course! with our prefect prowess" (screenshot below). which is not at all his *usual* way of typing, its more exaggerated on purpose.

this is funny to me that i have noted it so long ago, and then we have a guy who seems very into settings that would lend that kind of speech (all his bwb kingdoms, the king arc with ren where its VERY apparently used). that said he doesnt do this much- dont go overboard on this one! i feel its mainly when bragging about himself, or a few times where he thinks it would be amusing- he can be pretty sarcastic sometimes (outside of the king arc roleplaying)

He still doesn't use emotes much (i cant think of many new videos where he does, but i dont have as much reference in these new videos. i would play it safe and stick to the simple ones mentioned above. While he still doesn't punctuate his sentences as much and still doesn't capitalize, I feel like he types a bit more how he talks? using exclamations more to finish his sentences, sometimes a "?!", maybe more than one exclamation even- and usually when sounding "mad" in chat he will use all caps. sometimes a multiple !! or ??

from hermitcraft streams

sooo i hope that gives a good idea.

i just thought this was an incredibly funny chain of events. the song is 'my hallelujah' by autoheart btw <3

also, a quick ramble about why i think this is. due to the nature of the life series specifically as, yknow, an entertainment-focused youtube improv roleplay series, most of the ccs aren't... deliberately acting out characters with fully-realized arcs, and especially not relationships between characters. i mean, they're not taking it entirely seriously! as they shouldn't! it's a lot of fun to watch these creators just mess around because they're all friends in real life. but because of that, when you take only what's shown on-screen and separate it from this piece of real-world context, you get some like pretty messed-up relationships lmao. it's super fun to analyze tho :3

#THE REGISTER OF THE SONG IS SUPER BDUBS BTW. 'can't you see from my face i'm the bluest blue you'll ever see'- #-and 'but for once could you pretty please not run out on me' AUGH #'it's a sad sorry state of affairs we've got going on' is such a good line also it's really well-presented. i love it #ethubs #terra is rambling #trafficshipping #<not really tbh? theyre just weird abt each other. but anyways #also 'can't emphasize enough how hard it's been / to know the one you love resents you' is not specifically ethubs but ohhh man banger line

sometimes i go on ao3 and filter it so it shows the summaries of all those new hermit watcher griangst grumbo ooc hermit ensemble cast fics where they are haunted by evil server things from 2019/2020 to remind myself what the fanfictions used to be like... i'm remembering the good parts of 2019/2020.

#i rmb staying up till 3am reading those kind of fics in the early months of the pandemic #the fanfiction from then gives me such a specific and weird nostalgia even tho i know i will not read those fics again lol #a time when grumbo and the architechs were the norm and not desert duo....... #and bdubs and keralis were not really existent #and there were only three women #and scar was paired with cub bc of convex in 150% of the fics #AND LMFAO PEARL JIMMY MARTYN ETC WOULD CAMEO AS EVO SERVER PEOPLE #ria.txt #personal

[lorephobic]

this has nothing to do with the ongoing discussion of bdubs catholic guilt but for some reason i was just reminded of how in early content etho used to say “bdoubleo” so fucking religiously. idk if i can even explain this concept rn because im literally in-bed-trying-to-fall-asleep levels of tired but what i mean is that when they first met, he would say bdubs name in the same way that u would whisper about god at church ykwim. like his name was made of glass and if you spoke it harshly, it would shatter on ur tongue. it’s the kind of tripping fear of someone who would speak His name out loud, but is afraid of actually being heard. does this make sense.

#i think that this specific mannerism can be easily traced to the fact that bdubs never made it clear what he wanted to be called #and for so long people were calling him a million different names from john to bdubs to boo #so i get why etho would be like ‘bdoubleo(???)’ #but theres smth so fun in the very careful way that he would say it #always looking for approval from bdubs #always getting it #etc etc

guy who likes oceanic horror voice what if i stuck team zits in the doctorr4t neverend mod though. what if zed tried to tame a juvenile grandgousier

#if you think subnautica is bad on the deep ocean horror front. welcome to neverend. #it's the pool rooms from the back rooms and the dead zone from subnautica all in one and i LOVE it #cannot stress enough how much i don't go outside my usual youtube sphere (hermits) but i did just to watch ppl play this mod #because it's SO up my alley and SO good #like. not super replayable. but WHAT an experience #anyways. considering this heavily. also considering it being the scaredycats (x scar keralis ren bdubs) #i think they'd especially have fun #(ppl chosen specifically for Noises) #about the author

[chambers003]

i should list the hermits i watch ok here hold on

xb, xisuma, cub, false, stress, tfc

i don’t watch:

jevin, hypno, wels

#i’ll hang out in a joe stream every now and then because hes the only one that streams on youtube and i avoid twitch as much as i can #also he streams at a good time for me. lunchtime. thats rare! #my post #i feel soooo bad about falling behind on xb and cub especially theyre both so cool #false too but thats been kinda consistent across all seasons #i will say: i watched everyones episode 1. and most peoples episode 2. #also this is specifically for season 9 #season 8 i watched everyones final episodes even if they didnt have a ‘finale’ #season 8 was also the first season i branched out from just grian and mumbo. like mumbo noticed the moon was getting big and i was like #‘i need to see other povs of this to see their reactions and to see if i can find the exact day the moon got bigger’ #so i watched impulse xisuma pearl scar tango bdubs cleo …ren? gem. i think. #and *thats* where i went insane. now look at me. this is also around the time i joined tumblr. #anyway this is also basically a tier list of where youre commonly gonna get tango but everywehre posts from #s7 i watched post-season end and i only watched grian and bdubs #s6 i watched g and mumbo #s5 i watched mumbo #and i watched a small amount of mumbo s4 #(in the small break between s5 and s6) #s6 and 5 i watched live s7 i took a break for the plague and went to zelda instead

[sudden-memory-loss]

this is not a joke, but like I never understood those "I want to put him in a blender" comments before. however. I just started watching bdubs. and like. yeah. I want to capture him in my cupped palms and put him outside on a leaf. my cat would bat him around like a mouse. I would not put him in a blender but I would put him in a microwave.....rotate

#mcyt #hermitcraft #hc bdubs #I get it now #I have no idea what it is about him specifically #but watching his little 3rd person shots where he's running around real close or real far away from the camera #it's so. something #anyway I'm having a great time #rhys' shit

[honeyroastedpeanus]

Etho doodles in which I let my inner dinosaur nerd take over 😔 and also have no idea how to shade

Get it cause he's old and washed up haha... ok but actual raptor Etho hybrid justification below cut

To be honest the main reason was because I really wanted a hybrid in the mix who wasn't some furry creature and a reptile or amphibian or smth instead. Etho still ended up feathered but whatever it's close enough! But for ACTUAL reasoning:

He does feel damn ancient, like an old deity of the mcyt space that no one can dislike. Dinosaurs are the same!! They're old but still thought of with great fascination and fondness, everyone loves dinosaurs...

Dinosaurs are ever so mysterious, as many advancements as we make there's still so much we don't know. Just as we know jackshit about mister Kakashi skin man. Also, there are so many incomplete skeletons out there. I didn't have a particular species in mind for Etho, because where's the mystery in that? He can be one of those 5% skeleton 95% speculation dinosaurs like this guy!! Missing jaw and all

"I'm a runner, not a protector" - so, a raptor, or more specifically the Dromaeosauridae family, which literally has "running/runner" in its name

But! I'm always a fan of stuff going against its nature, especially in this case! Etho states he's not a runner yet protects his allies rather fiercely even in total silence. Eg refusing to kill Cleo in SL or to give away Tango's location during the LimL manhunt, same for Grian in SL. He was a bit flaky in 3L I think? And he only started to have genuine care for allies in LL with Bdubs? Though he is still very much a runner in many cases like during the LL Wither fight. Research also strongly suggests that most if not all raptors were solitary hunters, and the way I see Etho (through my shamefully limited watchtime of his POVs...) he feels a lot like someone who ultimately only trusts himself at the start even if he's pleasant and allying with others, and doesn't seem to think he can carry his weight in groups though he doesn't voice this a lot. That's just how Etho is, very composed, but it feels like there's an insecurity there, showcased especially in SL but again I haven't seen almost any of his POVs in full so maybe I'm talking out of my ass!! Sorry ethogirls I'm only a sidegig ethogirl myself... But yeah tldr to me he gives off the vibe of an otherwise solitary animal struggling to find 100% sure footing in a pack. In whichever ways he does go against his nature, its not usually made a show of

At the mention of a raptor, a lot of people will probably think of the glamourized Jurassic Park Velociraptors. But those awesome guys from the movies are actually the size of chickens. In general though, dinosaurs tend to be a bit.. exaggerated in media, despite how inherently fascinating they already are. And I think it fits Etho because we all know how the Lifers seem to fear and mancrush on him when he's just some dork with perfect capability to become pathetic at a moment's notice. Still, he's a clearly skilled player and still respected without question Etho's not some killer machine like some people make dinosaurs out to be. He's just a fellow creature fulfilling his role in the ecosystem 👍

dinosaurs are cool

The hook-like sickle claws on the feet... something something fishing rod

I swear I'm not turning all my Lifers into hybrids I'm not!! Still plenty normal humans in the mix I swear....... But Etho is such a radical dude, I really wanted to do something more for him. The whole Kitsune thing that I often see associated with him is really cool. I don't actually know the reasoning for it but I assume something something naruto, but also, him being this ancient mythical cryptid who people know so little about, you know? It makes SO much sense. So anyway I turned him into a dinosaur instead rawr

As a herbivore advocate I also considered stuff like the triceratops (known for how they protect themselves and their own) but nah the raptor symbolism...
