God Bdubs and non-believer Etho except Bdubs is totally obsessed with him. He doesn't even want him to worship, Bdubs would probably even join Etho as a mortal if he asked.
There have been times where Bdubs, the god of the sun and morning, has forgotten to rise the sun because he was too busy admiring the peaceful way Etho sleeps.
ID: a Tumblr post screenshot with two digital drawings underneath. The post is by hmshermitcraft, showing an anonymous user asking "Suggestive! Doc loves giving Grian kisses on his thighs". The ask is answered with "It's not an easy place to kiss, because Grian can also be ticklish there. Which sometimes leads to Doc being kicked in the head (mostly to Grian's suffering, because [italics] why is it always the metal side! [end italics]) But Doc will accept that risk. It's worth it to hear the happy Grian noises."
The first drawing shows Doc kissing Grian's inner thighs from the perspective of Grian.
The second drawing shows Doc resting his head on Grian's stomach as Grian caresses his face while laying on pillows. The point of view is from the side, and there's a small heart in between them. End ID

dear megabuild is there like. required ethubs reading out there. posts that are good for ethubs understanding that come to mind maybe. i dont think I could handle a full ethubs phase but my hand is itching for the pencil regardless so I figured I’d ask
so this has been sitting in my inbox for about a week as i try to structure the best recommendations i can but truly the only thing i can come up with is that to understand ethubs you literally just have to watch them. it's hard to explain just how reliant ethubs metaposting and analysis is on an understanding not just of their current dynamic but the dynamic they've shared over 10 years- which is a lot of content and can sound incredibly daunting, but literally.
having said that:
— videowise, obviously the full life series from either perspective but specifically last life. if you don't have the time or don't want to watch a full series, morry's ll ethubs megacut is a lifesaver. i also made a short post with some key ethubs clips a while ago.
— recommending fic here may seem against the spirit of analysis but believe me: wind back the clock and do it again on ao3 as beat by beat dissections of their relationship, though i can't speak to how easy either are to follow without an understanding of the context.
— peter bellshazes our ethubs lord who art in heaven has made a *ton* of posts about them so i would advise checking out their tag for the general life series. for personal recs id say this recent post on their current sl dynamic
— a few misc ones i like- on dead weight, alternating, avoidance, comparing ethubs to homewreckers
— technically not ethubs but i'm going to go ahead and link my required reading tag anyway which only includes like two posts but provide a good context and framework to analysis of the life series as a whole.
basically any of the posts i've linked come from blogs i would trust as Professional Ethubs Analysers so if you go through their tags you'll probably find a ton more. and if anyone has specific episodes or posts that they feel are important or summarise their dynamic please feel free to reblog and link them :) happy ethubsing!
