OMG I LOVE THIS

BOAT BOYS WHEN?

BOAT BOYS WHEN?

BOAT BOYSS

ETHO AND JOEL REAL

Boat boys.

''Just two silly bois in two silly boats''

JOEL UR GIVING US DOUBLE LIFE FLASHBACKS

This is why I'm joelsmallishbeanslefttoenailsbiggestfan

We need to have an intervention

This is horribly sad and like also my favourite thing 😁

I couldn't keep it to myself -- I'm imagining the fishing hook shenanigans that turned Etho and Joel red, and I'm imagining on the fall that kills them the hooks hooking into his wings instead of his shirt and desperately fluttering as the ground comes up to meet him

Additionally, imagining him as he and Etho walk through the Nether Portal and burn, his instinct to fly away from danger forces his wings out only for them to singe horrifically, dotting his wings with large ashy holes, not unlike the sails of The Relationship as fire engulfed it

(I love wings in designs and I love concepts for characters upkeep and maintenance on them, for the care of them and emotional attachment/weight of wings, And How To Fuck It Up)

LOOOOOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s Tough To Be A Bug 😈

BOAT BOYS FANS HOW R U FEELING AFTER TODAY EPISODE I AM LEGIT ABOUT TO CRY VOMIT THROW UP AND SCREAM BECAUSE BECAUSE BECAUSE BECAUSE!!!

Joel rly said "Gosh, Etho is so obsessed with me 🙄" after receiving mail from him, and then proceeds to put said mail in a bookshelf next to his bed where he "keeps all of Etho's letters"

???? Sir????

I think someone already suggested this, but maybe like using shadowrot aka lizziexcleo would be a cool way to also have boat boys?

SORRY I FORGOT TO ANSWER THIS LMFAO

but yeah, I've definitely considered this, i just don't know how well it would fit the plot? Both cleo and Lizzy are characters that are only mentioned in passing, but i could at least imply the ship. Actually, the more i think about this, the more I'm realizing this could actually help solve a plot hole....

Once again tumblr is spreading shipping propaganda. Successfully. Lmfao

So in wolau, Joel is a godlike (=person who has been gifted powers by a god)

What if, i made Jizzy cannon, but instead of Joel, Stratos (Joels god) is dating Lizzie.

Bc I'm debating making smalletho cannon and i don't wanna like, kill off lizzie or just not have her in the fic :(

...also i think Lizzie deserves to date a god and not some random wanna be bad boy!!!

@neonwizardheehee tags: (hope u don't mind me adding those but now i rly wanna answer these hehe)

Okok so 1st: technically I'm not that big of a shipper, but my brain doesn't seem to get the memo and i frequently hyperfixate on ships... Currently its boatboys and rendoc! I do lowkey like Renchanting, flower husbands, ZIT and grumbo too tho.

Speaking of it, RENCHANTING IS SO COOL! i still haven't watched their 3rd life vids, but it's def on my todo list!!! I feel like their RP heavy interactions can be rly exciting/entertaining, but also absolutely hilarious. For example, Martyns reaction to Doc n Ren getting married was so silly. Meanwhile, their dogwarts lore is angsty af. (at least from what I've heard, like i said i haven't had the time to watch it yet)

for the ask game!

Mumbo and Iskall

Martyn and Scott

Ehto and Bdubs

OHHH I LOVE MUMBO AND ISKALL SO MUCH!!! they are so silly oh my god. The constant back n forth pranks? Mumbo adding blocks to the monstrosity?? Or standing still while talking to iskall??? They are so silly oh my god. I'm so glad i started watching both of them this season!! Don't rly ship them but they r an absolutely amazing duo and i hope i get to see more of their interactions during season 10!!!

Martyn and Scott... Mean gills! Imma be honest, it's been a WHILE since I've watched scotts limited life, but i remember them being quite entertaining :D their skins were so cool. Personally i don't ship them, but i def get the appeal. They a rly fun duo tho, especially during a life series! (i actually am searching up limited life as i type this... Looks like I'll be rewatching scotts vids again LMFAO). I generally think Scott, the sassy calculated one and Martyn, the dramatic roleplayer, are an amazing combo.

EFFO AND BDUBS!!! They r v silly. I haven't seen a lot of their interactions yet, since I've only watched effos season 8-10 and only recently started watching Bdubs s10, but their horse race project in season 8 was so cool! Im so sad they didnt get to finish it :( i don't rly ship them, but i think that's literally just bc of my boat boys hyperfixation... I did read a rly cool romantic longfic w/ them a while ago! It was p good :D other than that, i love their dynamic sm. Like, ethos 'calmer' teasing and Bdubs loud and dramatic personality make for some absolutely hilarious moments. Also, i wish they did a project together cause i absolutely LOVE both their building styles and i rlyyy wanna see them collaborate on a build!!! It would be so coolllll

Web of Lies hermitcraft AU (Summary/info post)

Grian is surprised when Jimmy contacts him, especially since they haven't spoken in years. Back then, Grian was still a journalist who secretly worked with villains and Jimmy was a young adult who got accepted into a hero program...

Apparently Jimmy had become a vigilante instead, and the reason he contacted Grian was because he and his civilian friend Joel were creating an underground fighting ring and they needed workers for the bar above it that functions as a cover up.

He's hesitant to accepts their offer, since he's been trying to stay out of any... Crime "Shenanigans" for the past few years since quiting his job as a journalist, but agrees after they assure him that they just need a civilian worker that won't rat them out to the heroes.

Everything goes well at first and Grian slowly gets to know the other staff members better, that is until he starts to overhear more and more strange conversations between his co-workers, mentioning a strange type of magic that has been causing chaos in the city recently. It sounds awfully familiar to a cult Grian knows from his time as a journalist in Evo.

Grian is determined to stay out of it, ESPECIALLY if it turns out he's correct about the watchers being involved, but he has to at least do something, right?

Or, Grian has to make a choice between his quiet life as a "civilian" and saving his friends. Determined to do both, he tries to influence the watchers games from behind the scenes without anyone finding out, even going as far as creating new secret personas. Too bad the watchers think identity reveals are incredibly entertaining...

!!Masterpost is here!!

[Day 30]: TANUKI JOEL TANUKI JOEL TANUKI JOEL-

(Whenever i export animations, procreate sometimes messes up the colors a bit? It looks fine on my ipad, but the animation is desaturated on my phone, so here's what it should look like:)

Anyways, i thought it would be funny to draw Joel summoning Effo, inspired by Grian & Scar summoning mumbo during season 8. It turned out even sillier than i thought it would and i absolutely love it wkdhwjd

(explanation of the animation + sketch of the tail below!)

Also wanted to show off the sketch since it shows off the movement a lot better! I did end up changing a LOT (and even ended up adding some frames where i did lineart w/o a sketch inbetween... Oop-) but u can still kind of see the drag and offset?

So basically: since the tail isn't a stiff object like... A table or sth, it has multiple 'joints' (<-don't remember the proper term for it). Now, if u animated the tail just moving back and forth it would look v v stiff and wierd, since irl the tip of the tail would be "dragged along" with the bottom (<-aka the ACTUAL joint that the movement originates from). To create a more organic and realistic movement, you need to slightly delay the other parts of the tail. I usually use those lil circles to sketch this out at first, since its a lot easier to do without having to worry about shape and perspective and such.

(in theory i know wayyy too much about animation, but in practice im still struggling to do it bc i don't have much experience animating ekfhakdj- i do know the theory p well, which is why im hoping his lil explanation might help someone! Let me know if u guys want me to include some art theory lessons more often :D)

Edited it because... I forgot to add ethos eyebrow. Again.

WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING???

[Day 26]: Groups and collabs! [WIP]

Grrrr i dont have the time to finish this today :( have the idea & the line art instead, ill post the finished one once its done! (I'll prob do the other hermitaday challenges first tho, so it might take a while)

Do u see my vision tho. The absolute sillyness those 3 get up to. (sketchy, semi accurate color pallete below!)

The color pallete will prob still change a bit, this is just like a vague test that i base it off of? I usually select and change colors as i go, i rarely stick with the original version wodhskej

hello! may I request a little boat boys?

Also flower ranchers for the win >: )

I just realised this is the first time I've EVER drawn a kiss?! :O

@scottsmajorshipbracket

SILLY SMALLETHO ART!!!!

(not ship art lol)

some frames I drew for a boat boys animatic that never was

I’m really proud of how these two specifically came out. The second one is a how they died each time in double life and the first is just em dancing.

edit: I also forgot this one:

Joel was there two but I accidentally deleted the layer I drew him on

@sc0rpain I really like your fic Go Anywhere but Here

Late night at the convenience store with the biromantic block people

(Click for better quality tumblr fed it through a paper shredder)

They deserve to suffer.

smalletho demolition lovers au?

//CW: Blood

I mean it’s too perfect. Psychopathic bisexual demonic serial killer x depressed emo angelic weapons dealer? I couldn’t resist lol. if you want story context and/or to have a good cry, look up the lore to three cheers for sweet revenge by my chemical romance it’s beautiful and very very sad, which for MCR is also very very on brand. Anyway internet please validate me and my efforts I spent a really long time on this.

save me boat boys save me

If I was a writer… (I literally sang that in my head to the tune of my favorite boat boys song lol) anyway thank you op for exploding my brain this will now be literally all I think about for the next ever.

for all the "only winners remember " fans out there: joel now remembers double life and etho doesnt. isn't that awesome?

I was thinking about the parallels between Etho and Joel in Limited Life and Wild Life. They need to meet. I need to know how they would react. I can’t decide if they would be best of friends or worst of enemies.
