If anyone has timestamps from Cleo's stream talking about mail and Joel, please let me know and I'll clip it!
[Note: Now that we know joel's tumblr... I know I might potentially spoil this? I only ever thought of spoiling CCs as a youtube and twitter problem, i never wanted this! Blocking him wouldn't keep him from seeing reblogs, so... I guess it is what it is?]
Etho: But I couldn't even go see Joel because it would've been awkward to, like... just be alone.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, SIR???
Tango and GeminiTay visit Etho post-charity stream travel while Grian interacts via chat. Etho says he and Joel were alone all week and everybody teases him.
19 minutes into Tango's "I AM THE MASTER" stream, April 2024
Transcript:
Tango: So, Etho, what did you do all week by yourself? Were you lonely?
Etho: Dude, it was so dead on this server-
Tango: It was so quiet! I know.
Gem, overlapping: Did you miss us?
Tango, overlapping: He DID! He did!
Gem: Awww!
Etho: A little bit... It was just like- It was like Joel and me, and...................... and that was about it... And Cub came back eventually.
Gem, overlapping: Of COURSE you mention Joel first.
Gem: Not your neighbor, Cub. JOEL. Joel's top of the list.
Etho: But I couldn't even go see Joel because it would've been awkward to, like... just be alone.
Gem: You poor thing...
Tango, reading Grian's message in chat: 'Joel is enough for you.' Yeah...... I see more statues popping up- Who's making them?
Etho: Not me! Okay, something weird is going on- I don't know the deal behind it-
Tango, laughing: Uh-huh...
Etho: I've made two statues... Total.
Tango: Which ones did you make?
Etho: The Joel one... and the other one's... a secret.
[End]
Next, Tango and Gem tease Etho because they're pretty sure the other statues he built are the giant Etho statues, implied to be something he put in front of Joel's base himself. Etho says this is "not confirmed in his video."
Stress moves Parry the platypus on top of Joel's gate in the beginning of her new video. He doesn't make an appearance but I think Joel fans will have a fun time watching it
youtube
What a delight! No timestamp, the whole first 5:40 of the video is about Joel! ngl, this is the most Stress I've ever watched, though I now know she has workout videos and is now working on writing music for the first time and maybe someday a novel.
Stress Facts I knew previously:
Kids
Iskall
Fanks[1]
I also thought she wasn't very active, but this is episode 17! Here's hoping we can see Stress and Joel bond over saying "fanks". (I skimmed her twitter and she really really does type like she speaks. "wot", "me" for my, "meself", "wiv" for with, "ere" for here, "anyfin" (which sounds like something anthropomorphic fish would say), and even "av" for have. An absolute legend.)
[1] in speech and text, and obviously that she's english
