Cletho - Tumblr Posts
i may have a problem
It's the Etho & Cleo dynamic in Secret Life man
It's the "hi Cleo! :D" & the "hey Etho :)". It's the "no no no, you can't have her, you try to rip her out of my hands" & the "we're besties now!" It's the "Grian, give your heart to Cleo" and the "Scott, give your heart to Etho." It's the "can we go for Cleo last? She's having a rough day" & the internal monologue "theres no way I would kill Etho for hearts." It's the "I saw Cleo but I couldn't kill her" & the "I know *we* would never kill each other." It's the "I'm gonna fail this, I'm just going to protect you" & the "I knew he wouldn't hurt me."
The way he was the only one that remembered her hot & cold task without them prompting him, the way she joins in on his Bdubs shenanigans and builds a bedroom. How he's the devil on their shoulder but she's already committing arson before he asks. She doesn't tell anyone about his bed shrine and he joins them in trying to trick Mumbo.
It's the "I just want to die in my home" & the "right, they've killed Etho, they're dead now."
cletho — there is nothing you would not do for the other, your hands are soaked in blood the moon is rising and you can finally breathe

The LimL ships go so hard for some inexplicable reason I mean just look
Flower husbands has the mermaid coral kid give his former husband a pufferish of peace I mean come on. Not only is it their running gag but it's so much more symbolic with the sea motif here. Jimmy's a bad boy but he's really not that bad, he just likes the clothes and being a lil reckless, and Scott's a mean gill but he's not all that mean. The whole prep x punk. When Jimmy asks to kill Scott for time and Scott says I love you,,, YOU KNOW
Desert duo knows each other like a native language at this point, in the way Scar immediately knows the bread bridge is dangerous and Grian has to lie perfectly about it. They murder each other because that's what they know how to do and yet Scar apologizes for killing Grian when he couldn't defend himself. Still, Grian is the one to take Scar out of the series. It's Grian not knowing who to team with after the bad boys are gone but knowing he cannot team with Scar. It's Scar recognizing his parents in himself and Grian and trying to stay far, far away from that.
Majorwood is majorwood what can I tell you. It's winner x frequent finalist. Scott has started to win so many times that he has to throw after Last Life, and Martyn knows teaming with him is his best shot. The way Scott knows Martyn’s birthday and encourages him to celebrate. Yeah
Cletho is the divorced couple of the series and they act like it. They hate each other, they're everything to each other. Neither of them can stop talking about each other, and both of them want to end each other so bad. The casual insults that only arise from comfort around the other. Etho’s spiel about them after his entire family has died, and you can hear how he hesitates before throwing the insults to the empty wind.
Do you see. Do you see what I mean
sooo I made a whole post about SL cletho and I've just watched all of Cleo’s LL and I'm having Thoughts so you're all gonna suffer for it
They've got this "you're good with me and I'm good with you" thing going on. Every season as I can recall they're never actively hostile toward each other beyond teasing jokes. They default to allying with each other when their main alliances fall apart, and they both just sorta know they won't be hurt by the other. They never discuss this on camera, but it's always true. Cleos always welcome in the white castle and they go there just to chat with Etho sometimes, she didn't want to let him get boogey'd by Pearl, he helped them on red life.
"I know you enjoy that kinda thing" "what, I enjoy rudeness?" "Don't you?" "I mean, don't *you?*"
Also just him betting on their life is so funny 💀
They are The last nonred alliance in the server, despite not being allies the entire season
He tells them AND other people that he's scared of her. Like?? Etho the minecraft man himself genuinely does not want to get on their bad side, to the extent he makes deals with her that are just "here I'll give you potions if you don't go after me for just this episode"
Etho’s panicked "BACK AWAY EVERYBODY IM DANGEROUS- oh, Cleo. Cleo, come with me." Man calms down IMMEDIATELY realizing it's them.
When they're ghosts, Cleo goes "oh Etho! I didn't see you die!" and he says "I got killed Cleo, I didn't survive :(" stuck out to me for some reason
He is the only one she takes compliments from. They don't even accept compliments from Scott or Pearl, but Etho keeps going "ooh that was good Cleo!" and "nice job with that one Cleo!"
bouncing off that he goes so far out of his way to make Cleo feel like a useful member of the team I'm. crying
"I thought I ran into lava but it was Cleo’s hair" I laughed so hard
Theyre just such good friends, like. In general they're very similar people in that they click really easily, they tend to gravitate toward each other in these Life series because they just generally trust each other. they have such a good foundation that you can put them in any situation and they'll still be rock solid. Cleo & Etho, man.
A Coincidence? I Think Not!
I saw this when scrolling through Cletho fanart:
It was an add telling me about the dangers of divorce for the divorced couple's kids.
...uhm, I think it's too late for that, Tumblr.
This reminded me of this meme
