clethubs pls

ohhhh clethubs… objectively amazing ship. etho/bdubs is a classic and is very good on its own, with it working great for both comedy and angst. I remember enjoying cleo/bdubs in third life. cleo/etho is insane and I am sure people can analyse it better than I can but DAMN why are they like that. they’re all just so weird about each other. it is also incredibly t4t4t and bi4bi4bi. and I always love a ship that’s tumultuously simultaneously married and dating and divorced and just friends

but it doesn’t particularly compel me? its nice but not a favourite. a huge factor is probably that I’ve only watched about half of limlife and none of secret LOL (I know they’re good! I will watch them! I just haven’t had the motivation to). and obviously I’m familiar with their weird hermitcraft interactions, but I imagine it isn’t as brainrot-inducing as whatever they were doing in those series. I also like cleo/jevin, and since it has little to no content, I’m more inclined to make art for that instead of clethubs

another thing, which I feel kinda bad mentioning because the vast majority of clethubs shippers don’t do this but I do want to bring it up since the point of this game is ship opinions, is some posts really make me go “cleo would not fucking say that”. sometimes it’s just a general mischaracterisation thing but other times it’s straight up writing cleo as a cishet woman (baffling but I’ve seen it a few times). even if not explicitly a cishet woman they can sometimes just be written as quite heteronormative (wrong word but I can’t think of a better way to put it) and not, y’know, the she/they king of hermitcraft who’s - in their own words I believe! - a vomit-inducing queer. and then there’s also the issue of cleo being sidelined and used solely to prop up etho and bdubs’ relationship in some fics. as said, its only a minority that does this, but it does particularly annoy me as someone who adores cleo

also tangentially related but genuine question to clethubs shippers: how do you guys handle the whole limlife family thing? does it only apply to limlife and they’re unrelated in other series? was it a weird roleplay their characters were doing? do you guys just try not to think about it? do you just embrace it?? ever since I saw those episodes I was like. huh. I wonder how people are taking that
