thinking about aro etho earlier got me thinking about a funny little song and dance near the end of s9 that goes like this: gem has been slowly getting closer to etho and has started to develop a little crush on him but plans not to do anything about it because he's in a relationship with bdubs > cleo takes note of this, gem complains about her stupid ass crush > cleo points out that actually while he is in a relationship with bdubs it's not necessarily exclusive (speaking through experience) > gem decides to get more bold, begins flirting with etho more outright > etho is oblivious > etho has always been oblivious > gem does not get over her crush but decides he must not be interested and lays back about it > s10 begins > joel smallishbeans arrives > joel smallish fucking beans arrives > joel flirts with etho > etho remains obliviousing > gem fuming > gem and joel begin a rivalry over which of them is entitled to etho's lack of affection > gem and joel are reprimanded for starting a fist fight after meeting outside the permit office > etho has been happily married since season 7
