Etho slab and big beans 💚💛❤️⚓️

[leylila]

Etho is really in a love triangle with a horse lover and a horse killer huh? Didn’t realize this was a cheesy midwestern novel

[birrdies]

you awake?

some art for a boat boys au im working on… its hard to describe what exactly it is, but its based on the show ‘WAYNE’ if any of you have seen it.

Joel lost count of the days once they passed D.C. He should’ve kept a book or something—hell, he could’ve found a sharpie and scrawled some tallies on his palm— but it was hard track of time when all you really wanted was to outrun it. But as the sun set, slivers of a dreary dusk streaming in the windows, Joel was trapped in it. But this time, he didn’t mind so much.

Etho’s head was a dead weight on his shoulder. The rumble of the car engine kept lulling the both of them to sleep, but Joel fought. Just in case. Just to count the breaths against his collarbone. Those, he could count. Passing days didn’t matter anymore— this did. Here and now, the road ahead of them, did.

the way iskall is pranking etho indirectly by spamming joel's mailbox with secret love letters. however, iskall is giving etho money for frogger, the apartment, and stamp sales, so it compensates for etho's future mental distress ig lol

Promises made under cherry blossoms, Silently engraved in the heart. Even when far apart, Souls connected, love remains unchanged.

•~🌸~🌸~🌸~•

It’s been a few years since I’ve drawn something. Leave it to these boat boys to inspire me. I love them, their love and obsession and friendship--it's beautiful, they are beautiful, and I fully believe their connection is cosmic.

Thank you to my amazing partner @roosterblue for being my second set of eyes on this!

Everyone knows not to frighten etho. Even if it'd be really funny, it's just not worth it. When Etho gets startled or jumpscared or frightened, he pops outta existence a little bit. He's a bit of a phantom, not the sky rats but like literally, he's a ghost.

He's not very good at being dead, not like Cleo who had full control of being a zombie or Joe who has.....some control of the jopacity...jhostlyness or whatever it is that they've got going on. Etho sucks at it, and whenever he gets startled he pops out of sight. Fully invisible, completely intangible. And he can't control it at all! He just has to wait until his nervous system reorient itself.

Poor Joel doesn't know this. Double life stabilized everyone's wonkyness for the sake of the games. So scar didn't get birdbrain'd, Jimmy didn't get hypothermia (cause despite popular belief, most netherborn are quite cold blooded to cope with the hot environment), martyn didn't have a sudden urge for human meat, and Joel didn't become a phantom. Etho was also unable to disappear which was painful but otherwise nice.

So one day Joel gets the bright idea to sneak up on Etho and scare him shitless, because it's funny and Joel shows affection via pranks and annoyance. Poor Etho didn't know what hit him, one moment he's quietly pulling weeds in his garden, the next he's scared out of his mind and completely gone.

Luckily Etho had signs on hand so he can tell Joel how uncool that was and how annoying it's gonna be to wait to come back.

Joel, to his credit, does feel really bad and since Etho's unable to finish his gardening, Joel offers to do it for him. Which he does, which is hard work, so Etho offers him his spare room so he doesn't have to make the journey all the way back.

It's not that far but he gets really lonely when he's all ghostly and he wants company.

Joel doesn't take up too much of the bed. Etho's cold, without the warmth of the sun or his jacket he's freezing in his little purgatory. Joel wakes to a presence, something not quite there but heavy against his side. It's Etho, unsurprising, who's still cold and a little transparent but peaceful all cuddled up against him.

He rolls onto his side so he can pull Etho closer, allowing him to press his cold nose into the crook of his neck. He won't scare Etho anymore, he'll find another way to show his affection.

Probably.

Really, it's disappointing that it actually distresses Etho, because it's the funniest reaction ever. Does Etho understand how much prank potential this has? How funny it is that he just poofs when he's scared? It's hilarious. The fact it feels terrible sucks.

What Joel found out surprisingly quickly is that Etho is a lot jumpier than he expects. Joel knocked on the door, for goodness sake! What else is he supposed to do?

So far, wrapping his arms around Etho and giving him a gentle kiss has worked best. Etho says the fact somebody is touching him helps. Hardly like Joel needs an excuse to get his hands on Etho more often, but he'll take it.

I’d like to give a thank you to Joel Smallishbeans for having banger taste in music. My morning showers have greatly improved.

Hope your homoerotic friendship with Etho Slab is going well.

“What do you want, Etho?” Joel huffed playfully as he shoved yet more glow ink sacs into one of his chests. “You’re so obsessed.”

Etho leaned in the doorway, arms crossed, quietly staring, that little twinkle in his eyes that the shorter man definitely did not notice nor find attractive at all.

“What?” Joel sighed, crossing his own arms defiantly. “Take a picture if you need something to stare at later.”

“All the pranking, all the banter,” Etho said, sounding almost wistful, and his smile was in his voice beneath his mask. “This is getting out of hand, Joel.”

Joel rolled his eyes, throwing up his hands. “Well if you weren’t so blummin’ obsessed-” His words choked off as Etho was suddenly so close to him, how the hell had he moved so fast?

“So what if I am obsessed?” Etho said, voice low, breathy. “What are you going to do about it?”

Haven't been able to watch his new episode yet, but OVERANALYZE? SmallishBeans Joel. You did this to yourself, you obsessed Ethogirl

[tiniestetho]

I think Jimmy and Tango would plan a double date with Joel and Etho but wouldn’t tell them it’s a double date until they get there. Just saying.
