why do I feel hollow? 🎶

🌿 HOLLOW a LIFE Series Winners MAP is OUT NOW !!!

etho tl;dr: big pacer, whimsical walking, and lots of head emoting.

does a lot of frolicking through places when he's going somewhere. not full-on loops around things but he doesnt mind weaving through the trees like an obstacle course or taking big arcs around fields (seemingly for fun).

moves back and forth when he talks. not mumbo-style wiggles but more like little figure eights or a "scoot, turn to look at you, scoot" type thing.

treats his POV as a way to emote or just focuses on the task at hand (from a meta perspective we could probably just say this is etho prioritizing gameplay over cinematics). he shakes his head and moves around a lot, but also sorts through chests or turns to look for mobs in the forest.

^ this could prolly be translated as gesturing with his hands a lot in fics??

also usually the one moving closer to the other players. he sneaks into people's personal space, especially when he's trying to freak out bdubs in particular (or just talk with him).

when he's nervous he puts his shield up, crouches, and sneaks backwards. most players do this somewhat but he does it OFTEN and over a LOT of things.

bdubs tl;dr: likes to be "tall", vaguely clumsy, and absolute committer to player character acting.

treats his POV as a camera or how an actual view would be irl. he looks between active participants in conversation and whips around to stare dramatically at someone.

collides a lot with the edges of walls and doors 😭

usually stands a block or so higher than the person he's talking to.

brute forces his way through the environment instead of dodging through it. breaks leaves and digs holes to get through dense forest. (he hits his head and smacks into things otherwise.)

reiterating this one because it happens A LOT: bdubs LOVES to be higher than the other person. he finds a block, jumps onto it and looks down at the other person. (he doesn't tend to crouch much, though.) most of his conversations in his first episode happen with him stood up on a crafting table or furnace.

emotes with his WHOLE body. for example, some people use their head to "bow", but he crouches, bows his head, and drops his voice down.

not afraid of eye contact with etho. he likes to turn to look at him and will even walk sideways to keep an eye on him. (why are you looking at another man so much?) no wonder etho was fighting for his life with his weeping angel task in SL.
