"Oh Rusty, Rusty, what's your personal hell?"

Being alive.

Also cleaning out old Tupperware from the fridge, that's pretty bad too.

I drew @ludolka's activity detected au!

Info + background, reference and alt. Image below the cut!

So, there's some details I wanna talk about. You can't see mumbos, but they're all wearing matching bracelets. I did kinda use a bit of my own designs in this, but it's based on things the original creator told me!

Grians blush, tongue, and line art is all purple, which is a fun detail to me. He has the eye tattoos bc I wanted to incorporate that as well. Mumbo has makeup on, and some piercings bc they looked Cool, and scar has sunflower tattoos and a hold necklace. I couldn't decide on outfits, so I gave scar a sorta "scumbag hippie" look, Grians wearing an old T-shirt and older jeans, and mumbos all dressed up. The background is sorta how I've imagined their apartment, a bit cramped and messy, but they all decorate it so it's a mishmash of styles. Grian put up the string lights!

I think that's all, we're ignoring the hands bc I was struggling with how they'd look. Oh, also, scar is supposed to look slightly monstrous! I will add an image description at a later date lol.

This isn't meant to be ship art, they are roommates uwu (/gen)

[hopelessavian]

Also per my last post and other things I've written- for some reason I default to scar saying texting acronyms/slang out loud and that's insanely funny

[hopelessavian]

Scar: did you know that dolphins are actually closer to avians then anything else?

Whomever he's trying to calm down:????

Scar: something with their bones resembles more of a Avian structure rather than that of aquatic mammals.

Whomever he's taking to, a few hours later; hey was that dolphin thing real?

Scar: LOL no, but you looked like you where about to cry so I had to step in

Scars always ready to help defuse a situation if he feels Mumbo is going to slip up. He's well versed in grounding techniques specifically, and honestly his favourite is that one where you say something utterly outrageous and it snaps the person back bc what the hell did you just say?!

So, maybe it's a particularly high stress situation, and he can just tell Mumbo is getting frustrated and worked up, and a worked up Mumbo tends to make him panic and act before he thinks, or even sort of freeze up. So Scar grabs his shoulder, looks in his face very seriously and goes "Mumbo. This is so important. Did you know that butterflies taste thru their feet?" And Mumbo like. Blinks. And his brain resets and he goes "No.. I don't think I did." And he's able to get back on track. Unfortunately scar will spend the next few minutes rambling. Bc there's something so special to me about how scar just loves telling people about the things he knows, and funnily enough that's a really good anxiety coping mechanism.

Yes, I love that so much !! That’s so in character for him, I can vividly imagine him doing this :’0

I love Scar infodumping about random fun facts that a regular everyday person wouldn’t know about. And he knows about these specific little things in so much detail. But I could also imagine him making up some outrageous fact, but talking and explaining it with so much confidence and in such great detail that whoever he’s talking with will believe him and take his word for it

Oh I love him

Also about this, I can see this technique not 100% working with everyone. With Mumbo, he confuses him to the point of calming down and thus diffusing the situation entirely. But with Grian, it just leads to Grian redirect his frustration and start arguing with Scar instead of the person he was originally arguing with in a high stress situation

And I can also see Mumbo be so interested in every little fun fact Scar has, that man never fails to surprise and fascinate him. Plus Mumbo loves knowing about weird little things that he wouldn’t have thought about researching/looking up otherwise

[hopelessavian]

Woo-hoo new profile theme! It's grian time, baybeeee

[hopelessavian]

I've had a frankly terrible day,so here's a really shifty drawing of grian. Originally I just wanted something sketchy for my discord pfp, but ig this is fine too. Let's not talk about how rushed it is, yea?

Also jsyk as I was posting this I accidentally used a house MD tag lmao

[hopelessavian]

Should I make like a separate account for my hermit/life smp stuff? I'm working on some fanfics in the background and hope to post stuff to do with those & aus and things like that...

[hopelessavian]

Oh yea, I do art too. Pls send asks of ** ideas I am very blocked rn

[hopelessavian]

I think its a common thing w bird/bird creatures that they give feathers (bc its literally the sweetest thing ever)! I like the idea of using feathers in nests, personally. You have a lovely brain, op!

Hello! I follow you on both TikTok and here! A bit ago (a few days, perhaps?!) you posted a comic where Grian landed on one of the bots arm and perched there. I've been thinking nonstop about that, is there any other things like that he does? Does anyone else in his life have like.... Routines or behaviors I guess that sorta revolve around his bird-like attributes? (i.e like how bird owners will automatically turn fans off for their birds, even if they aren't around them, something of that sort!) I don't know if this counts as an au question, but I do hope it gives you a good opportunity to talk regardless! I hope you have a good timezones, and your art has made my brain into cheese I love it sm (also Im incredibly sorry for being so wordy! It kinda just kept getting longer!)!

Hey hey <3 first of all, thank you so much 🥺

And oo this is a great question, it works for both my Grumbo family AU and my general headcanons for Grian about him being an odd little bird creature

But definitely! I think everyone around him has gotten used to him being bird-like. He regularly perches on people’s shoulders or arms and because he lives for the chaos, he doesn’t always announce he’s coming, so the less suspecting and not that sturdy people sometimes fall over. He’s mostly owl, so he is a quiet flyer as well

Others also sometimes kinda mess around with him. When he’s tired or absent-minded enough, he’ll mimic sounds he hears around himself on instinct. So they’ll place amethyst blocks that make a sound that he’ll mimic. Or they zip and unzip their zippers repeatedly if they have any or tap on whatever block’s around, that he’ll also mimic the sound of. Idk, it’s funny to imagine others taking bets on how long until Grian notices and them being more and more outlandish with the sounds they make. I’ve seen so many videos of parrots imitating and repeating sounds like those, they are so adorable

Also, on that note, in Minecraft parrots sometimes make creeper sounds and I think Grian would also do that to scare others

Hmm, while it’s mainly Mumbo who helps Grian with preening, I could see Scar or Jimmy or one of his sons also help out whenever Mumbo isn’t available. Also, on preening, since very few people around him have wings, he often opts for the second best thing to show care, which is grooming their hair or just playing with it

I’ve seen videos of parrots sort of slap people with their wings and rub their heads against people to show affection, which are also things Grian does. I think he’s a physically affectionate person, so he sort of just rubs or bumps his head against people when greeting them or something like that

Also, I can see everyone knowing about nesting season and adjusting to it. Mind you, I don’t know much about bird behavior during nesting season, so this is just what I imagine him being like during it. That’s the time he gets very parental over everyone and everything and can get kind of overbearingly caring. So everyone just lets him take care of them and be more affectionate than usual. He also regularly builds a nest in his bed, hoarding every pillow and blanket along with a lot of clothes from the closet. The others have also learnt not to eat or hold eggs around him during this time

A bit of bird biology that I know, birds have hollow bones to be able to fly and cold feet. So Grian is very light and sometimes people forget about that, meaning that sometimes when someone picks him up for whatever reason, they put more strength into it resulting in Grian getting chucked. His feet are also very cold, giving people a bit of a jump scare when he perches on their bare skin, kind of like when someone puts their cold hands on someone’s face or neck after coming in from cold weather

Grian puffs up his feathers whenever he’s irritated, angry, embarrassed or scared. While he has a good poker face and can act convincingly, his wings always give him away

Some more bird-like attributes he has that I can’t really lengthily talk about, so I’ll just list them in this paragraph: he gifts his feathers to his friends, who sometimes make jewelry or little decorations using them. He loves everything related to music, singing, humming, dancing. His preferred method of courting is giving pretty rocks or shiny things he finds. He’s fine eating raw meat. He can communicate with other birds. He’s territorial like owls

Oh and also!! Regarding watcher Grian. I’ve drawn him in his watcher form once before and I like to think the more time he spends in that form, the less human and more animalistic he acts. His voice also gets distorted, sounding like it’s both coming from everywhere and from inside your head. But I’ll talk more about watcher Grian some other time if anyone’s interested

Aand that’s all I have rn, but I’ll reblog this and add more to this if/when I think of more

Hey Google news, what the fuck is this

[hopelessavian]

Vels paint chips off at the joints bc somebody never uses good sealant

ok hazbin fandom here r my niche vee headcanons no one asked for:

im a bjd!velvette truther so w that in mind, she has chronic pain where her joints r

also if she gets too rough w her body, bits can pop off. happens sometimes when she gets frustrated (she be throwing tantrum)

val can sew & knit & crochet. he does it rly well actually but he only ever makes stuff for himself or the other vees

val doesnt use stills or trailers to promote his films, he hand draws posters. just bc he likes to

vox has a tail & it is a power cord. plugs himself into the wall to charge & then he just has to sit there for a while lmao

they actually have 4 bedrooms between the 3 of them. vals room, voxs room, vels room, & a fourth one that is mostly bed so they have a huge comfy place for all 3 of them to cuddle but also spread out as needed

related: val is a wild sleeper. i think this of any winged character but i must make it known.

also val squeaks in his sleep

val has a big tablet & sometimes one of the others will just plop him down somewhere w it when they think hes being annoying bc it keeps him entertained. ipad baby era fr

vel streams herself gaming sometimes :)

much like w his dreams, if vox starts daydreaming during meetings & shit instead of paying attention, whatever hes daydreaming abt will play on his screen

this made me realize i think abt valentino way more often than i thought lmao
