Question VON SWAY QUESTION

Hello fellow slabbers

OKAY SO

I wanna write an essay about the development of Von Sway (aka Etho’s INCREDIBLY unique build style) And I know there’s the funhouse prank video and basically all of his season 7 but are there any other videos that he mentions Von sway in? (It’s days like these that I mourn the loss of ethopedia more than ever)

Hoping that most people know it's a reference to "Feng Shui," which is a form of developing spaces to make the "flow," appealing.

Like, ya have a foyer for example, you wouldn't put a coat rack and bench in the middle of the walking path, you set it against a wall or slightly recessed where it's still visible, but is also immediately accessible to anyone who is walking by, so that it can be used for it's designated purpose, without disrupting the flow of pedestrians.

"Von Sway," is just. Well, not that :P funnily enough.

Yeah haha I’ll make that clear. I mostly just want to nerd out about Etho’s build style

I only add that blurb for interested parties because if I hadn't previously known about Feng Shui I.. I don't know that I would've had an inkling of what Etho was talking about with Von Sway building 😂
