I had been reading about how Sir Impulse, though the only 100% normal human of the group, ought to have an amazing back story.
In Hermitcraft 9, Impulse is a dwarf, but in this AU, he shouldn't be a dwarf, so ... why not be raised by dwarves?
'It's brilliant!' I thought. 'A human boy raised by dwarves, adventuring out into the world to find his place in it! But why does that sound so familiar?'
Then I remembered one of the best light fantasy series of all time, and one of my favorite characters from it:
Carrot Ironfoundersson of Discworld by Terry Pratchett.
I had thought about writing up a one shot detailing his childhood, but there is no way how I can compete against Kzad-bhat for a dwarven name.
So, instead of writing the story for real, I'll just share the idea, which I'd be surprised if it goes "canon": Impulse was found by dwarves as an infant and raised by them, given a dwarven name that means "Impulse" (as in "we picked this kid up on a whim," "this kid has very little self control," or both). When he was about 12, pirates accidentally tried burying their treasure in the mines, there was some kind of skirmish, and Impulse was spirited away by them. He had to adapt to surface living, learning new languages and cultures as he slaved away on that pirate ship, traveling the world, surviving life amongst murderers, liars, and thieves on the high seas. He eventually escapes (survived a shipwreck, maybe?) and he had been traveling the world trying to get back home. Unfortunately, that dwarven kingdom was so isolated that Impulse couldn't find even a mention of it anywhere, and he was truly lost. Now, he is no longer actively looking for home (he has to make a living, after all), but he came into the Boatem Order with more experiences, stories, knowledge, and skills than the average knight.
This will be the version of Impulse that I will be working with in my story, unless @applestruda would rather I didn't.

I know I'm on writing hiatus, but..... boatem royal au
Grian and Pearl are the twin heirs of one kingdom... Impulse is the king of another, Mumbo's the young ruler of a kingdom, and Scar's the crown prince of his kingdom! I don't have names for the kingdoms yet but I would love suggestions.
The kingdoms are on very good terms diplomatically. Hence, balls are frequently held (yes this is just an excuse for me to write a dancing scene).
The boatem crew are close friends even outside of diplomacy, having known each other ever since they were young royals. They are frequently seen meeting each other, sparring, whatever they wish for really.
Royal aus are so fun for me

Happy New Year!!
3. favourite fanart of the year
12. longest fic you read this year
15. favourite headcanon of the year
28. best fandom meme of the year
<3
oho!!!!!! oh this is gonna be fun :V
3. favourite fanart of the year- i've been sat here for like five minutes trying to think of what my favorite fanart would be. i've got a crud memory so i'm just gonna trust the one that immediately popped into my head, which was this one, but then also this one bc i found it again when i was looking for the prev and just. good hecking night i hope to one day be able to portray emotions like that it's so freaking good
12. longest fic you read this year- the stars and their children by bonesandthebees y'all this fic is sO HECKING GOOD also would you believe second and third place longest fics were. also by bonesandthebees. dskljdgklsh they do rly rly good stuff!!! one of the other runners-up was redstone and skulk by silverskye13, which, while like. fourth place length-wise, it is the next one to be written by someone other than bee XD (i am including it here speCIFICALLY so i can rec it because i am constantly in a state of yelling about it ever since i found it a couple weeks ago it's sO GOOD!!!!!! and i am GOING to do art for it i sWEAR-) (that and boatem knights au bc that is mentally vibrating me)
15. favourite headcanon of the year- hmmmm. i've been listening to martyn's secret life lore stream so i'm trying to think of things that aren't the mcyt lore i was literally just listening to, and like. trying to remember what fandoms i was even Actively Looking At Stuff For. splat3 came out this year, but all the lore stuff for that that isn't Strictly Canon is like. oc lore, not like headcanons for the games, so i don't think that counts. i got big into a couple hermitcraft folks this year, but i'm still slowly dipping into it? i'm still very new to the fandom side of things so i haven't seen much, it's p much just been limited life and secret life, which isn't even hermitcraft really. redstone and skulk that i just linked prev is actually my first fic for anything hermits that i've read, sooooooooo don't think there's rly anything there i can grab at. oh yeah tears of the kingdom came out! and i still haven't beaten it so i've been avoiding the tags for it for a while now so. out of touch on that one.
...which does actually, to my memory, leave me with the secret life lore stream lkdsghs whICH reminds me!! martyn kinda dismissed the moment where grian clarified mumbo's failed task timed with the end portal opening, but i do like to think that that could've been A Watcher MomentTM so i'll go with that one! that's a headcanon from me!
28. best fandom meme of the year- if the entire fandom is the meme does goncharov count lksdhsds

ended up trying tu summarise my frozen watcher au through stories on insta after i got asked in comments so i’m retyping everything here too. wanted to make a proper mega post one day but this’ll have to do
so Warmth of the Winter Sun (wows) or just Frozen Watcher, is a hermitcraft 8 au based on the boatem crew and hugely  inspired by both of the Frozen movies. Basically, I just wanted to play with the concept of watchers that is over used in the fandom, and made it a frozen au because of a skin made for halloween mcc last year (grian as elsa done by mahgck)
Grian is the “lucky” kid who got gifted a part of the watchers’ power and gained matter manipulation magic; he can manipulate any object and part of landscape and change its form at will. It goes as far as turning matter into another one and can have effect on the weather (mostly by summoning storm clouds) When the manipulation goes too far, the matter turns into something similar to minecraft sculk, some kind of nebula cloud, way easier to manipulate, but can also spread on its own and corrupt stuff.
Pearl is his little sister, and unfortunately, the accident is still a thing there haha. Living matter (other than plants) immediately corrupts under Grian’s magic, and Pearl got something she though was a burn scar on the side of her face.
I’m adding a twist tho, as the siblings acually got cursed through the accident; if they’re too close, Pearl’s injury would spread and threaten to suffocate her. If they’re too far, it’s Grian’s heart that can’t handle it. (Yeay i like angsty stuff like that). So they spent the rest of their childhood trying to keep a middle ground, apart from one another (Pearl not knowing why as you could guess).
For the following I need to settle more background lore I made for this. The siblings are the heirs of the Mountain kingdom, a part of a huge island they inhabit with several other kingdoms. These different factions were all at war for years, until “something” caused a massive explosion during an atempt between monarchs to set peace. They all died. Leaving the island in a cold war the time their orphaned heirs reach adulthood.
(The “something” and the war will be relevant for what would be “frozen2″ haha. The universe is also set in something like northern UK in the 50′s)
SO back to main plot, Grian doesn’t lose control as he becomes king. He had the role for a couple years actually. But he had organised a ball to set real peace across the island once and for all, despite his fear of his power being reveal. He failed, as you can guess, but he tried his best ! And you can imagine how the other monarchs reacted, thinking they had been tricked into a trap when Grian’s black magic reveal itself. So yeay, some background part of the au is the monarchs trying to dismantle the Mountain kingdom as Grian exiled itself somewhat.
The following goes mostly like in Frozen; Pearl sneaks off to find back her brother; finds out a plush she made as kid and gave to Grian, Mumbo, is now alive (and having massive existential crisis); and travels with a friend she met years prior while sneaking off the castle, Impulse, and Scar, a cat shapeshifter.
Grian morphed an entire mountain into his s7 mansion (no need to make the back /hj), and once the curse got him back with violent hearthache, he’s ready to give up just so the curse can finally break (the song monster from the musical be like)
A huge thing I changed is the whole thing about true love, as I didn’t want to have shipping in this au. Mostly, it’s just pearl, once she learns the curse “needs true love to fade away”, thinking she’s doomed for good as she doesn’t have anyone, and thinks her death would somehow be another way to break the curse. (Yeay both sibling are being suicidal at one point, ready to die so the other gets free of the curse)
I’m still indecive about how to make the end of this, as i want the aftermaths of the plot to be more obvious than canon Frozen. Don’t worry no one dies tho !! I still need them for part 2 okjihibuv
Part 2 of the au is for now very vague; all I know for sure is that it has a rather sad ending (I’m going full on “fix it” on that one, loved Frozen2 but the plot from deleted scene could have been epic haha). I will have stuff with the island war and shapeshifter lore, and I already made edits to the wonky spirits for the au. But other than that, that’s basically all!
Well, I went rambling quite a lot for just some summary... Hope i’ll have more drawing f this to post this year tho !

Hello here is part 3.5 of my royal scarian + Tubbo au!
I'm gonna go over some of the details of the story like how old everyone is. Name of the Kingdom and more. And in part 4 I'm gonna try writing angst because i have an idea.
First everyone's age
Between Grian and Scar, Scar is the oldest at 32 and Grian is 29. Tubbo is 5 years old and so is Tommy (Tubbo is older tho). Ranboo is already 6. Phil is around 40 and Wilbur Is 11 and techno Is 18. Ranboo's parents are also around 30
Then there rolls in the Kingdom
Grian and Scar are married and are the kings of the Kingdom. Scar is the one with royal blood and Grian was an architect before he married Scar. Tubbo was a commener before he was found by the kings. Phil is the chief of the royal guards and his son techno is gonna be the next chief. Wilbur is just starting to learn guitar and Tommy is dreaming also dreaming of becoming a gaurd. Ranboo is the prince of Endlantis and he has 2 mom's.
And lastly some random facts about my au
1. Scar has a disability that causes that he can't always walk so he has days that he uses a wheelchair .
2. Grian and Scar met when Grian wa hired to design a house for the new chef and his family. And Scar fell in love with him at first sight.
3. Tubbo has a biological father but doesn't know his name because he was never told the name.
4. Jelly is considered the royal cat and is to be treated with respect.
5. Maui and pearl are also royal cats and are to be treated with respect.
6. The Kingdom that Scar and Grian live in is called the Vexlands.
7. Hybrids live in peace with humans. That being said, Scar is a vex hybrid, Grian is an avian and Tubbo is a goat hybrid.
8. The whole boatem crew is part of the castle. Mumbo is an advisor, pearl is the head maid and impulse is one of the chefs.
-🥳
VEXLANDS LOVE THAT Royal cats Jellie, Pearl and Maui <33333 I love this au so much waaah cuties. SBI my beloved *hugs them tightly*

I have a request!
Could you write a Royal AU Mumbo x Reader? Mumbo is a king/prince that's a really smart inventor and the Reader, one of Phil's and Kristin's children (them and techno being adopted), is really interested in redstone and makes small inventions.
Maybe there's a really big ball/party going on and Mumbo, not really wanting to participate, goes to explore the castle and finds the Reader in a library, sitting on the floor reading a book. He goes up to talk to them and they both start to bond and nerd out. Just a bunch of fluff with both of them starting to catch feelings :D
they/them pronouns, but the reader is a bit more to the masculine side (like wearing a suit instead of a dress and such)
Hello anon! Thanks for the request! I had fun writing this (Royal AU lets goooooo!).
Redstone Royalty
Royal!Mumbo Jumbo x gn!Reader (romantic)
Summary: When you sneak off from a party to work on your redstone, a visitor who might just be able to help finds you.
Warnings: I don’t think any warnings are needed here!
Part 2 here!
Tumblr media
wYou were in your laboratory, working on a redstone circuit, when your younger brother Tommy burst in.
He was bouncing-off-the-walls excited for his birthday party that night. Phil, your adoptive father, had received word that the rulers of Boatem, a nearby kingdom, would be attending.
You were a bit annoyed with the redstone, so you were happy for the distraction. The redstone just… wasn’t working! It should be, based on your schematics, but it wasn’t!
Tommy’s interruption reminded you that you had to attend the party that night, something you weren’t thrilled for.
Since you were one of the royal children, nobles constantly tried to suck up to you.
You didn’t even have the worst of it, since you weren’t one of Phil and Kristen’s biological children. Everyone assumed Wilbur and Tommy were closer to the monarchs, and that you and your older brother Techno were a bit more distant.
It was still more than enough for you, and you took any opportunity to avoid social situations like the party that night.
You shared your plan with Techno when he helped you to make sure your suit was right. The two of you didn't know how to tie a tie, and you had plenty of time while pretending you had it to talk.
Once you’d put in the minimum social service, you snuck off to the library. Techno was invited to join you, but he wasn't able to escape the fawning courtiers.
You hoped to find something to help with your redstone among the books, and found something that seemed promising.
The door to the library creaked open. You jumped up from your relaxed position on the floor, prepared to face a guard or maid who’d come to find you. Instead, an unfamiliar man stood in the doorframe. He was very tall, with messy black hair but a perfectly straightened suit, and a well-groomed mustache sat just below his nose.
“Oh- I’m sorry, I just wanted to get away from the crowd for a bit.” He adjusted his tie, clearly a little awkward. “I guess I’ll just… go.”
“No, no! It’s fine if you stay. I had the same idea.” You offered a smile, and the man seemed to relax a hair.
“Ah. Also not a fan of these formal events then, I assume?”
You nod. “Too many people trying to kiss up to the royal family. Apparently I’m approachable- and to the sycophants that means easy prey. I’m y/n, by the way. They/them.”
Your mystery companion seemed to add something up in his head. “Oh! It’s lovely to meet you, your highness!” You grimaced at the title. “My name is Mumbo. He/him.”
“It’s a pleasure to meet you as well, but please, no need for the highness.” You smile up at him. “I thought the point of coming here was to get out of social situations.”
He returned your grin. “I suppose you’re right.”
You looked down at the book you still held. Secrets of Redstone, it read. Not the secrets you needed, apparently. “I don’t suppose you know anything about redstone, do you? I’m afraid my circuitry is a bit wonky.”
Looking up, you saw Mumbo grin. “You just so happen to be talking to Mumbo Jumbo, the redstone genius of Boatem. What happens to be the issue?”
Oh. This was the famous prince, well-known for his expertise with wires, signals, and especially piston doors. Your younger brother Tommy loved his work, and you’d seen and used a few of his designs in your own inventions.
“Well, I’m trying to hook up a piston door to both a button combination and daylight sensor, so it only opens when you have the right time and the right code, but I think something’s gone wrong in the wiring. The daylight sensor doesn’t seem to be working, and I’m not sure if it’s just faulty wiring, or if there’s something wrong with the gate, or in the code, or if I just have a system that doesn’t work. I tried to find the solution in this book, but all it suggests is adding a t flip-flop or hopper clock to adjust timing, and that’s not going to do what I want.”
“Hmmm… That is a problem.” Mumbo twirled the end of his mustache with one hand, the other planted firmly on his hip. “Could I see the system?”
“Of course.” You led Mumbo out of the library to the wing that held your laboratory. You pushed open the heavy door with your shoulder, instinctively reaching to flip the lever that turned on the lights. The room was relatively large, with boxes of redstone materials lining one of the walls. In the middle of the floor lay a complicated redstone circuit, the most distinguishable feature being a piston door attached to the rest of the contraption.
Mumbo stepped over to the device, leaning down to examine it closer. You stood back as he fiddled with a few wires, tracing their paths through the mechanism. You couldn’t help but admire the tall man as he rolled up his sleeves and got to work.
“Aha!” You jerked out of your thoughts as he let out a victorious noise.
“What is it?” You were excited to hear his thoughts.
He pointed to a section that combined the daylight sensor to the combination lock. “This is a NOT gate, when what you want is an AND gate. Instead of needing both the signals, the door will open when only one of them is present.”
Picking your way through the wiring, you saw that he was right. You facepalmed. “Ugh. I’m an idiot.”
Mumbo laughed. “No, the rest of this is really fantastic work! You really have a hand with redstone!”
The compliment made your face grow warm. “Thanks.” You made your way over to the chests of materials. “Do you want to help set the system right?” He nodded, and you handed him a few pieces when you returned to the faulty section of the redstone.
The two of you worked quickly, replacing the circuitry with the correct gate. Once you finished, Mumbo stepped back, a bit of redstone streaked in his hair from where he ran his hand through it. “That should do it!”
You smiled as you walked over to the panel of buttons that should now actually open the door. Inputting the correct order of presses, you waited with bated breath. After a beat and the flashing of redstone, pistons sounded off and your door opened.
“It works! Thank you Mumbo!” You bounded over to the tall man, initially planning on giving him a hug. As you approached, though, you slowed down, raising your hand for a high-five.
Mumbo seemed prepared for your high-speed hug, though, and pulled you close. When he pulled away, you could see a light flush across the bridge of his nose. You were sure you looked similar. “You’re welcome, y/n. It was a pleasure.”
A cough came from behind you, though it sounded suspiciously like a laugh. Spinning, the grinning face of your oldest brother came into view.
“Dad was wondering where you went, y/n. I said you’d probably be in your lab, and I was right!” Wilbur looked between you and Mumbo. “If you want, I can say I couldn’t find you, though.”
Your face was burning at this point. “No! No, it’s fine. Um.” You took a deep breath, then turned back to face Mumbo. “I guess I’ll see you around?”
His face was just as red as yours. “Yeah. See you around.”
You nodded. “Just close the door behind you when you’re done looking around.” Turning, you walked over to Wilbur, taking deep breaths to calm yourself as he led you back to the party. “So, the Boatem prince, huh?”
You smacked Wilbur’s shoulder. “Shut up! It’s- I don’t know if it’s like that!” Despite your indignant front, you were already hoping to see the tall redstone genius again soon.

Small AU I’d never get to write but I wanted to share the idea. So imagine this: Boatem gets separated in the void. They don’t know how, but they do.
Scar lands in a world of bloodshed and war, finding himself very easily falling into the rhythm of a new Empire build on swindling for power and riches in the middle of a desert, proudly displaying their name on a big neon sign at the entrance.
Impulse spawns in the nether with his demon traits more on display then ever, in a land full of hybrids around a small floating pube.
Mumbo wakes up in a land of Empires with 11 others, half familiar and half not. It’s easy to fall into the familiar Peace Love and Plants routine in “his” farming kingdom, but what’s not so familiar is the magic in the air all around and a lingering sense of corruption.
Pearl has an idea of where she is, feeling the familiar feeling of 3 lives when then world comes into view. But no matter how she slots herself into this story with less players and less betrayal, she somehow always ends up alone as the lone survivor of the game.
And Grian? Grian is simply forced to watch.

Kazoo i beg of you to tell me about dnd au pearl, shes quickly becoming one of my fave mcyts and i salute her for keeping up with so many smps
You got it! One Pearl explanation coming right up. (*'ω'*)
Pearl is an aasimar druid. She’s friends with Grian but never followed the Watcher. She and Grian were the first other aasimar the other met. There was much confusion and excitement once they found out.
So I said this was a Hermitcraft au but I make the rules and there’s extra MCYTs in here. That includes Empires SMP!
Gem and Pearl have a connected storyline. They’re both rulers of kingdoms quite a journey away. They came on a quest to find a way to stop the eternal winter the demon Xornoth has trapped their lands in. There’s two artifacts they have to find, so they split up and each take some of the Hermit party with them. Pearl’s group is the Boatem crew with Scar, Grian, Mumbo, and Impulse helping her. The name fits especially well because they find themselves traveling on a ship to get the artifact. Pearl is dubbed captain by the crew and has the collective braincell 90% of the time.

When the Queen of Boatem and her oldest son are both killed in an accident, Mumbo Jumbo is left as the only heir to the Kingdom of Boatem. In order to secure the monarchy he must ascend the throne and marry his betrothed with all due haste.
If Only Mumbo was not already in love with his personal guard, Grian. If only Grian could bring himself to let Mumbo go...

(Hehehehe let's see what thoughts u shall bestow upon me KEKW)
For you purp anon,  something that isn’t an abandoned WIP, but rather one I have put on pause to focus on other projects. Here is part of the opening of my Kingdom of Boatem AU.
---
It was just after the sixth new moon of the twenty-second year of Scar’s life when he heard the news that Queen Antonaia of Boatem, her husband, and her eldest son had perished in a tragic airship accident. A mere three days later Scar was loaded into a carriage alongside all of his belongings, set to go to Boatem.
The late Queen had had three children, of which two now remained. Prince Mumbo, and young Princess Pearl.
No, not Prince Mumbo. Crown Prince Mumbo, incumbent ruler of Boatem.
Scar knew with certainty that by the time he and his entourage had completed the month-long journey to Boatem, he would be addressing the man as King. He might have made it to the coronation had he travelled by airship, but in present circumstances that did not seem wise.
Scar had met Mumbo only twice, and he only recalled the latter of the two. They had both been teenagers still. The Prince had seemed quite shy to Scar, barely speaking a word the entire day. Scar had thought then that perhaps that was for the best - his stepmother always told him off for talking so much, but would that not fit the much more quiet Prince Mumbo perfectly?
The other time they had met Scar had been a mere four years old, Prince Mumbo only three. It had been the day the two of them became officially betrothed, set to be married when Scar reached his twenty-sixth year - Or earlier, should circumstance dictate.
[...]
[H]is carriage finally approached the royal Palace of Boatem, which perched at the very top of one of the many mountains scattered across the region.
The long trip had left him tired to the bone, and he was oddly grateful to see such a small reception waiting for him. He had feared that the whole court would be here to greet their new… whatever his title would be.
Apart from the guards, of which there was an abundance, Scar counted only seven people waiting at the foot of the grand staircase.
Two men stood in the front, one half a step ahead of the other.
He was tall, thought Scar. Much taller than last time.
It was, perhaps, exaggerated by the winged man next to him being so short of stature, but even so, Scar was certain that his betrothed would stand taller than him, an impressive feat given that elves were generally taller than most other races.
Scar easily recognised the crown on his betrothed’s head as the royal crown of Boatem. He had missed the coronation, then. As he neared he could make out what looked like a modified guard’s uniform on the man next to King Mumbo. A bodyguard, probably, Scar decided. It made sense, with three members of the royal family having perished so recently.
“Here we go, Jellie,” he murmured, giving her one last stroke on the head for good luck. “You be nice to whoever shows you to our rooms, you hear me? We want to make a good impression.”
Jellie simply yawned in response, curling up in her seat.
“I’ll take that as a yes,” Scar sighed as the carriage pulled to a stop.
(ask meme!)

Kingdom of botem au huh? I am. looking 👀
-🍂
For you, 🍂 anon, here is another snippet, because I love this AU so very much:
---
The King squirmed uncomfortably in his chair, his cheeks turning bright red. 
“Erh… just Mumbo, please?” he requested after a moment. “I’m still not used to… It doesn’t feel like me.” 
Mumbo was never supposed to be King. 
“I understand,” Scar said. “In that case, I’ll just be Scar to you as well. It seems right anyway, since we are going to be married to one another soon.” 
“Yes, that is what I wanted to discuss,” Mumbo said. “I- That’s to say… Oh, I can’t do this alone.”
Scar watched curiously as he stood and walked to the door. 
“Grian, I need your help,” Mumbo said. 
His bodyguard - Grian, apparently - stepped back into the room, much more alert now. Looking for threats, Scar realised.
“We have to tell him,” Mumbo said as soon as the door was closed once again. 
Grian whirled around to look at his King. “Absolutely not!” 
“He deserves to know-” Mumbo started. 
“There’s nothing to know,” Grian interrupted. 
“Gri, please don’t be difficult.”
What an odd way for a bodyguard to speaking to his king, Scar thought. Even Cub, who Scar had been close to for years, would at the very least address Scar by his proper title when he disagreed with Scar on something. The two of them must be very close for Grian to speak to Mumbo in such a way, and to dispute him so openly in front of a guest. 
And the nickname. There was something so familiar about it. No, not familiar… intimate. 
“Oh,” Scar said, realising what was happening. “He’s your lover.” 
Both Boatanian men turned bright red. 
“I’m not-” 
“That makes it sound so vulgar-”
“-just his bodyguard-”
“-never really put a label to it-”
“-purely professional!” 
“-besides the point…” 
Scar raised an eyebrow. “Are you done?” 
The two of them looked at each other. 
“Just about, yes, I think,” Mumbo agreed. “Sorry about that. Yes, this is Grian, my… he’s mine.”
(ask meme!)
(okay ask meme adjacent. but there was an 👀 and I am making that my excuse. I think it counts)

Kingdom of Boatem AU will include Cub and Pearl? Any information you’re willing to share about them? (Or Impulse who hasn’t been mentioned in the AU yet)
Yes it will include them! Impulse too :D
The five Boatem residents were originally meant to be the only Hermits to show up, but then Cub snuck his way in. I let him because, well, he was their closest neighbour. That’s how I’m justifying it to myself, anyway.
I’m happy to tell you the basics of how each of them fit into the AU!
Pearl was obviously mentioned pretty early on, as Mumbo’s half-sister. The late queen is their mother, but they have different fathers.
Pearl is only half vampire, with the other half being moth hybrid, and Pearl takes a lot after her father. This means she had different needs growing up, and her and her two older brothers were raised in different parts of Boatem. Between this and the age difference (I’m still working on the timeline but they’re probably 8-10 years apart) her and Mumbo are not particularly close.
She is, however, close with Grian. He did his guard training in the same castle she grew up in, and he actually originally planned to become her personal guard, if just didn’t work out that way. Grian was not happy being assigned to prince Mumbo at first, but, well, that changed.
Impulse has technically been mentioned, just not by name. He was one of the people waiting to greet Scar.
Impulse is a vampire, like the majority of the citizens of Boatem, and the prime minister of Boatem.
The country is at that stage where they are starting to take the first steps towards democracy, while still being a monarchy. Mumbo has absolute power as king, but there is an elected parliament that handles minor legislations, and ministries who oversee the day-to-day running of their respective jurisdictions. As prime minister Impulse oversees this, and is Mumbo’s primary point of contact with the elected officials.
The two of them have a solid friendship too, built when Mumbo first came of age and entered the court in an official capacity. He obviously wasn’t meant to be king back then, but he did hold a high ranking position in the ministry of technology, and got some help from Impulse settling into that role.
And finally Cub! As mentioned Cub is someone Scar knows from his home kingdom Vex.
The way elf magic works in this au, all elves present in at least one of four branches of magic (most elves don’t present strongly in any direction, though some have stronger magic that is limited to one or rarely two schools of magic). You can nudge a person’s magic in one of these directions, and that is what happened with Cub. He has very strong healing magic, and is a trained doctor, assigned as Scar’s personal physician.
Thank you for the interest and the excuse to talk about one of my AUs!

About:
Void - he/they - mid-twenties
Hello and welcome to my main-turned-multifandom blog. I am an aroace non-binary trans man from Denmark.
Current main fandom is Hermitcraft/the life series. I view both of these as being roleplay series and thus I see nothing wrong with hermitshipping/trafficshipping. All posts, both original and reblogged, are tagged accordingly.
@thejabberwocki is my platonic partner, and aside from that they are also a very cool person to follow.
Writing:
My current projects:
#Equinox AU: A mumscarian AU loosely inspired by Greek mythology, with a focus on the myth of Hades and Persephone. Grian is the God of the Dead, Scar the God of Spring, and after millennia the constant dance of the seasons has taking enough of a toll that cracks are starting to appear in their marriage. Mumbo is a demigod who wants nothing to do with his divine ancestry, but when he falls in love with Scar on a warm spring day, he gets pulled into the world of the Gods nonetheless. Also features biggri and treebark. Double Life fix-it Mythology AU with angst, fluff, romance, misunderstandings, and ultimately a happy ending. [Part 1] [Part 2] [Part 3] [Part 4] [Part 5] [Part 6 - WIP] Interludes separate from the main story: [1] [2] [3] [4]
#Kingdom of Boatem: a mumscarian arranged marriage AU. Scar is an elven prince, engaged to the youngest son of the Queen of Boatem since a young age. However, when tragedy strikes Scar’s betrothed, an entirely unprepared Mumbo, has to ascend the throne with Scar at his side. The matter is made no less complicated by the fact that Mumbo is in love with another man - his bodyguard Grian. Fantasy AU with hurt/comfort, denial of feelings, mutual pining, and medium-burn romance. [Part 1 - WIP]
You can find these as well as my past projects on my AO3.
