YAY SLEEPOVER!!!!!

THIS IS @applestruda DTIYS GO LOOK AT THEIR ART ITS AMAZING

GRUMBO WEEK DAY 3 - " Nightmare " @grumboweek

"read more" at your own discretion. messy+wordy explanation of the concept coming:) .

.

.

pardon me for being late but i really couldn't stand leaving this looking unfinished so. had to spend a bittt more time on it (might even post for grumbo week even after the event's over if thats okay!!)

we all got over the progression from their friendship to their betrayal of eachother in Last Life too soon. i need people to mourn with me

"Nightmare" made my mind immediately jump to the series that waffle duo really got their share of angst from, Last Life. How an unbreakable bond of friendship strengthened by literally passing eachother something as valuable as a life so quickly crumbled into them both betraying eachother in the end, a Nightmare scenario that the two of them would've never even considered for sure. even grian, who upon turning red was still clinging onto the hope that their bond was so strong that mumbo would join him as a redname. (concept) even red mumbo, who in his last ditch desperation tried reigniting post-red yellow life grian's humanity by giving him the spyglass, the southlander's physical embodiment of their friendship, only for grian to crush it mercilessly ,,,,,,,,,

anyway for this piece i tried real hard to cram in as much symbolism and imagery and intent behind my lines and colors as possible, so heres some of it! (theres more but thats on you to figure out!)

Composition + just some of the details : the main concept that i really wanted to drive home is the use of the SPYGLASS as symbolism for the progression of their bond throughout Last life, up until the end. yellow-side grian holds up a spyglass, looking towards the right

day4 past and future concepts ahead the spyglass extends through the past to the present, like a solid line of sight into the future before its unfortunately crushed by red-side grian (him shutting down any friendship or reconciliation from mumbo) mumbo, back against the future, faced twoards the past, reaching his spyglass out looking for who his friend was, only to see a cracked figure of him staring back grian, faced towards the future in both drawings, but also looking back at mumbo, with different emotions but both with the same desire to move forward, one with adoration and another with the desire to move on from mumbo's dead body and focus on self-preservation. he knew he had to move on, and he was right.

SOUTHLANDERS BADGE: mostly for visual interest! but also unlike the spyglass, is an unremovable physical reminder for post-red grian (literally lodged deep into his shoulder)

CLIPPED WINGS: i felt like i had to mention that they're supposed to look clipped in the second drawing:) "HE NEEDS TO LEARN" was a real quote that was directed at both jimmy and mumbo, but we gotta adapt pfft ,,, this post is long. LOng long. i should stop. special SPECIAL thanks to my dearest @justrelaxhere for their hours worth of dissection of my drawing! god i could always count on them to squeeze every drop of symbolism out of my work. without them i wouldn'tve been able to fully articulate my ideas! okay thanks for reading people:D

MUMBO JUMBO + GRIAN DREAMSLAYER ── ★

the universe said :

" i love you " ,

because you are love .

Team buttercup!!!

They are so cute together <3

He’s been on my mind

I don’t think we talk about red ll!Mumbo enough and I want to change that. I think he went a little crazy in the end lol but his red life is always overshadowed by his death

Thank you for coming to my (short) Ted talk

Day 2: End Crystal

I like the idea of every hermit being some sort of entity. there are Shapeshifters, there are Avians, there are just straight up creatures. And then there is MUMBO. everyone knows he is clearly not human, well... everyone except Mumbo himself. But no one can define what on earth he IS. He has given machinery sentience, he has accidentally trapped himself in the form of a potato, a carrot and a pig, he has stolen the soul of his friend, his mustache has some sort of strange body transporting abilities, he has lived inside multiple ruins of ancient civilizations. And yet, Mumbo is completely convinced that he is a normal human being and nothing weird has ever happened to him. Better yet, not only does he think he is the human of the server, he also thinks that everyone else is as well. He will be talking with a bird person a half goat, a zombie and a slime and still be convinced that everyone here is a normal person while also ignoring anything weird about his son, a giant, dimension travelling robot given sentience.

Silly little guy for a silly little new AU revolved around him being deeply involved with a deity

In all honesty this AU game from em needed to make an AU with Trans mumbo, and this ended up working so much I have so many ideas for lore omfg someone stop me please or ill never stop

MUMBOS BACK

(to a baby cow) "Where are your parents, I need to murder them for their skin"

MUMBO WHAT

he's so unhinged this season and it's so fun and funny omfg 😭😭😭

K for Killsalot.

lost longing for someone you can't recall, but that someone's a faraway deity

"The ancient gods changed men to things, but left them A consciousness that smoldered endlessly, That splendid sorrows might endure forever. And you are changed into a memory."

so ! fanart for solar eclipse au by none other than THE @mochiwrites. but i switched the concept around?? (au of an au. woah)

.SPOILERS!!. spoiLERS!!!! I SAID SPOILERS. .

.

.

instead of solara being punished and casted down to earth for reincarnation it was proteus instead <333

yes i know amor solis takes place in a more modern setting but personally mumbo k jumbo with his vest and tie and british glory gave me more of a painter than sculptor vibe (artistic boyfriends,,,)

bros drawing his lover from his past life when he cant even recall any of those memories <3

I just realized, out of all the superhero or villain au’s I’ve seen for hermitcraft, none of them have Mumbo being a hero/villain. And I am now very curious to know what that would be like

And, I doubt anyone would know he’s a hero/villain, but I feel like he wouldn’t be good at keeping it a secret either. Like I feel like the only thing keeping his friends and anyone else who knows him from finding out, is his personality

‘Surly, surly, Mumbo kills a lot Jumbo wouldn’t be capable of fighting. Gosh I mean, that’s just ridiculous. Pft common, no way Mumbo is the hero/villain, [name]. Like let’s be real for a moment’

And Mumbo is standing in the corner sweating profusely and blaming it on his outfit being too hot for the weather (no matter what outfit he has)

And then at night he just summons purple/pink floating magic square bombs that glow. And uses them well. Very well in fact, but he would never admit it and there’s no one to tell him how good he is with those square bombs. And even if there were he’d just blush and be like ‘naah, I can think of so many people who could do it better than me, really.’

Where are the End Crystals???
