I got no clue why my first thought was boy scouts whenever they were talking about being “manly” but I thought it would be fun regardless designing them as something similar :o3

Well, a month has come and gone, and my latest project is complete!
I have never expressed my open liking of Ethoslab - I'm more of a Tango and Jimmy fan, if my past binds are any example. More often than not, I lurk in his videos and in the tumblr tags which is how I got to find out of the Etho zine project by @ethozine.
When I saw the finished work, I instantly knew this would be my next project after binding the MCYT Couture zine.
Continuing in my experimentation, this bind is made as a split-boards bind and despite some hiccups I found myself really liking the result! The hinges open without much pushback and the book feels so sturdy. I think I might have a new binding style...
I also added some cheekiness to the project. I used the fanmade emojis made by the zine team to decorate the front and back endpapers. The result? Mini-Ethos inviting me as I flip the covers!! (with the exception of ice cream Etho. noooooooo). To all the fanartists who made these, you all rock!
And finally, I had a sudden thought at the last minute as to the design of the cover label. In Malaysia, the bus networks here used to have these old tickets that are now fondly remembered as memorabilia. I looked at them one day and realized that these would be perfect to bedight the zine! So I drafted a cover label based on these bus tickets and printed them onto some leftover paper. It looks so beautiful!
Plus, the combination of the label, black bookcloth, red strip, and green-yellow endpapers create an almost Japanese aesthetic to the whole cover, which kinda fits as Ethoslab's skin is Kakashi from Naruto (and that his favourite color is green too!).
Special thanks to the team of fanartists and creators of the @ethozine for making this zine possible!
theres something so funny to me when hermits are talking about redstone and theyre like "and then theres an etho hopper clock here-"
like. of course they use etho hopper clocks, itd be weirder if they actively avoided using it, considering its like. a redstone thingy that is very useful and still works even after all this time, and from what i understand it was like. a pretty big deal in terms of useful things you could do with redstone back when he first made it because it opened up ways to do even more things with redstone
and like for the most part theyve probably been referring to that particular thing as an etho hopper clock for longer than theyve even known etho personally, considering the etho hopper clock predates his joining hermitcraft by at least 1-2 years, and several of the other hermits joining hermitcraft by even more. so of course they still call it that
on a related note, most of them likely had at least heard of etho before meeting him, even if they didnt personally watch him (tho i know some did) since he was an old school minecraft youtuber. like his original season 1 of "lets play minecraft" started when minecraft was so new it hadnt been officially released yet. literally back in minecraft alpha. he was a minecraft youtuber OG
so with those two points taken into consideration it completely makes sense that "etho hopper clock" is something ingrained into the terminology of anyone that does stuff with redstone somewhat regularly. theres no reason it wouldnt be
but when you put it into contrast with like. their actual interactions with etho. it kind of cracks me up???
its like. in my head the vibes are this: imagine building something and being like "okay guys, for this machine we need to use an archimedes screw, which is named of course after its inventor archimedes, a man so genius that to this day he is regarded as one of the most brilliant inventors and mathematicians to ever walk this earth" and then like thirty minutes later you go to a restaurant and you see archimedes, of classic antiquity fame, trying to eat a sandwich but the ingredients keep falling out in increasingly comedic manners. so you of course call him pathetic to his face, and then ask if he wants to try out your new totally-not-a-scam product that you carry on you at all times for opportunities like these. and for some reason he doesnt just say yes, but buys two
