mumbo jumbo why do you have four nearly broken diamond pickaxes in your inventory. mister mumbo k jumbo please fix them. combine them. do something. why are they like that
look alright, I know everyone is headcanoning Grian as a kōtare (kingfisher) this season because of his obsessive crush on the ocean but I need you guys to hear me out on this okay... if anyone is a kōtare this season it's 100% Gem (I mean c'mon her skin has the blues and everything!). no, Grian is not a kōtare, Grian is and always will be a kea.
(reasoning under the cut because it got kind of long, as well as some pictures of birds being idiots)
first things first, not only are they a parrot (which I have seen Grian headcanoned as being alongside being a macaw specifically) but their colors fit his vibe, just look at these funky lil guys??
majestic dorks.
secondly, kea are not only the worlds only alpine parrot (hello magic mountaineers? he may have a crush on the ocean but he did choose to build his base against a mountain this season), they're also well known for being (and I feel the need to stress this) absolute fucking prankster gods. they're literally known for their mischievous, chaos bringing personalities, are smart as hell, and are extremely curious and playful to boot. they're literally (lovingly) called the 'clown of the mountain' by some people.
like seriously, here's a small list of things kea have been known to do:
dive bombing roofs to, essentially, use them as fun little slides
they also like to roll stones down roofs for fun
exploring anything new - they're known to investigate backpacks, skis, and even cars, they especially love anything they can easily mess with or grab
on the topic of investigating backpacks, they will literally open said backpacks in order to steal things like food
knocking over skis so that they can ride downhill on them
throwing stones at humans for fun
peeling off and eating the rubber on cars
just fucking with cars in general (see below for an image of a kea messing with a towbar) they'll strip your car of anything not bolted or welded down
they'll nick anything they can get their grubby little beaks or claws on including wallets and passports
breaking into houses through cat doors
turning on water taps
learning to use tools to set off stoat traps
playing with traffic cones
playing with snowballs
there was a kea that literally locked a guy inside of his hut
on top of all of this, they're known to do some of this stuff just to entertain other kea around them.
here's some pictures of the idiots doing their thing:
basically, these guys are dicks and I have never seen a more Grian-coded bird in my life than these little shits. kea Grian supemacy.
The little men in my head are telling me to draw fnaf mermaids and I do not have the power to resist their sweet temptations.
Part 1 of this fishy nightmare
“Impulse and Scar both have grey skins because they got Demised”
WRONG. They both have grey skins because they open up their season 10 first episodes with Aviator!Scar crash landing his plane directly on top of Impulse, killing them both instantly
@orbitalconjunction I think u need to see this too
"OKAY I NEED TO KNOW, I KNOW THE ROYAL AND MEDIEVAL AUS ARE HOT RN BUT HAS ANYONE MADE IT SO THE BOIS PRETEND TO BE JESTERS FIRST TO TEST PEOPLE ONLY TO REVEAL THEY ARE THE PRINCES LATER" - Me a couple days ago
Couple Days later: Makes full Refs of Main Cast with possibly more on the way maybe-
ljaskdjflkasdjf LISTEN I love the idea of them pretending to be jesters or being jesters ina royal au, because they are jesters and this is just, ough im a sucker for love stories ough
Thanking @crazedauthor for helping me flesh out this au of mine, giving yn a hella yummy backstory of being from a destitute noble family who's running on a fail economy, not having much to their name.
Then it follows Sun and Moon, who pretend to be jesters to sort out the decent people from all the snobby, snooty bastards of people. They don't reveal themselves but instead mostly wire their findings to Gaia, their mum and current Ruler of (the current name is Palideas, but its subject to possibly change), and of course they do this with potential suitors, and after awhile, Gaia's no longer able to put it off, Sun and Moon need suitors, so she invites all possible suitors to the kingdom, and in here walks Y/n, many shenanigans ensue
I dunno if I'll write a fic for this but I am sososososososoososososo tempted
So uh, enjoy-
(Also calling it the Royal Jesters AU, so theres that as well-)
Op this is actually incredible. Like every frame of this is Actual Art. Bdub's face of pain as Mumbo talks to him. The way he builds up just to be eye level. Ending up flat on the ground as he Suffers. The way he screeches at the end. It's magnificent. Thank you. From the botton of my heart, thank you.
the most difficult secret task
reblogs appreciated :D hoping to do a couple secret life animatics over the course of the season, this whole disaster from session 1 is my absolute favorite
Is it just me or did most of the tasks either fall in the category of "entertainment" or the category of "make others feel negative emotions towards you"? Like, we've got simple tasks like making puns and using different names for people and then we've got other tasks like building obnoxiously close to someone or breaking their crafting table while they're using it which, like Jimmy said, would make them "hate them" so, like... Seeing as the watchers feed on emotions and love to watch stuff happen...
