#and martyn if you end up reading this nice win i was rooting for you from the start

[jungledubs-archive]

:eyes: for the prompt thing maybe ahasbands and gardening?

Mumbo flexed his fingers, looking at the gloves warily. "And you're sure they'll keep my hands from getting dirty?" he asked, glancing down at where his husband was already kneeling on the ground.

Martyn rolled his eyes. "Yes, Mumbo, and even if you do get some dirt on your hands, you can always wash them." He reached up and grabbed Mumbo around the waist, before quickly yanking him off his feet. "Now come help me, you spoon."

"Ack!" Mumbo scrambled to not land face-first in the dirt and ended up knocking soil everywhere, making Martyn giggle. "Martyn! Please!"

"With how much redstone you do, I would've thought you didn't mind getting messy," Martyn commented as if nothing's happened, while passing Mumbo a weed remover. "You take this little guy and get rid of anything you can see. I'll handle the big boy."

The 'big boy' in question was a particularly large growth of buckthorn that had taken over the area multiple years previous. Martyn wanted to get rid of it, and Mumbo had (tentatively) agreed to help. Looking at the prickly branches and thick trunk, Mumbo wondered how Martyn was going to remove the whole thing by himself.

"I'll dig out the bottom and try to pull it out," Martyn explained, as if he could read Mumbo's mind. "That's where you'll come in. I don't think I'll be strong enough to get it myself."

"And you think I'll be able to help?"

Martyn's hand settled on Mumbo's upper arm. "Mumbo, everyone knows you're stronger than you let on. Grian did tell me about that arm-wrestling match with Impulse." He gave a quick squeeze and flashed a grin. Mumbo turned red.

"I- no- look- Martyn- I got lucky," Mumbo spluttered. "Impulse let me win- he's a demon- he could've crushed me if he'd wanted to-"

Martyn seemed to ignore him. "Anyway, if we don't get started soon, it'll be midnight by the time we get this thing out. You clear out the other weeds, I'll dig, and with any luck it'll be gone in no time."

Mumbo sighed.

But Martyn's prediction was correct, and it wasn't long before Martyn was standing up and dusting his hands off, looking at the now-exposed roots and sizing up his floran competitor.

"Why don't you- you give it a go on your own, and then I'll help if you need it?" Mumbo suggested, not wanting to admit that he was tired just from weeding.

"Yeah, alright." Martyn rolled up his sleeves and bent over, grabbing the trunk of the small tree with both hands. He gritted his teeth and pulled, and Mumbo felt his face turning red again as he saw the muscles in Martyn's arms strain against his skin.

Mumbo turned away, embarrassed, but that only seemed to draw Martyn's attention. "Mumbo?"

"Oh- just-" Mumbo stood up abruptly and shuffled over to join Martyn next to the plant. "Let's just- just go."

Martyn grinned, but didn't say anything. On the next tug, it budged a little bit, and Mumbo strategically avoided looking at Martyn. It moved more on the next pull, and the next, and the-

Thump.

The first thing Mumbo processed was that he was laying on his back, and his head was in the grass, which meant that his hair was going to be full of dirt until he could next take a shower.

Then he realized that Martyn was basically on top of him.

“Hello,” Mumbo breathed.

“Hi,” Martyn replied.

Martyn had very nice blue eyes, Mumbo thought. They were warm, like a summer sky, and he thought he could stare into them forever- and he would have, if Martyn hadn’t closed the gap between them and kissed him.

Mumbo leaned up a bit and let Martyn shift him into a sitting position, then rested his hand on Martyn’s back. The kiss continued, gentle and affectionate, until one of them—Mumbo couldn’t tell—broke away for air.

“So, what do you want for dinner?”

Mumbo had to laugh. “Did you just kiss me and then ask me what I wanted for dinner?” he asked.

“Well, yeah, it’s a good question.” Martyn grinned. “We’ve got pasta, and chicken, and-”

“Can we just get this tree out of the way first?”

It was Martyn’s turn to laugh. “I thought you were going to ask if I would kiss you again,” he said.

“Well- yes, that too.” Mumbo smiled. “But the tree first.”

Martyn snorted. “Alright, alright, tree first.” He let go of Mumbo and stood, then extended a hand to help his husband up.

Mumbo took it, and before Martyn turned away, he pressed another kiss to Mumbo’s cheek. “You go inside and choose what we’re having for dinner,” Martyn said.

“Potatoes,” Mumbo decided instantly, refusing to let go of Martyn’s hand.

“Again?”

Friday Night Stabby best quotes part 28 (13/08/21)

Pearl replaced Joker for this session again. Etho was also missing from the session.

(also this is the last one as of 08/09/21 i can’t believe i finally caught up omg)

…

Pearl: I know this one by the costume. Endless, I believe, killed Brody in navigation and then vented out. Endless: That doesn’t sound like me. Skizz: Are you gonna defend yourself, homie? Endless: I can’t, cuz I’m stupid. I was trying to figure out how to undertake and it didn’t work. Skizz: This is Endless like- He’s on trial for murder and they give their testimony and he’s just like “nuh uh!” Tango: No he’s just like “no, I’m stupid.” Endless: Just to be clear, if I were on trial for murder, I would probably not actually have murdered anyone. Skizz: Well, now we’re getting somewhere. *pause* Endless: But I did murder Brody.

...

(the end of that same round) Skizz: Yeah, I sheriffed Tongo. Tango: Endless, why are you the way that you are?

...

*Impulse kills Evil as imposter, then Evil donates in Impulse’s stream* Impulse, laughing: Evil, you can’t do that during the stream, dude! Donation from Evil, $3.14. “This is because you’re a big jerk and I still love you.” *laughs again* Evil, you can’t do that.

...

*everyone skipped except Evil, who voted for Brody* Brody: Thanks, Evil. Evil: You’re welcome, buddy. Brody: I’ll upload harder next time.

...

Endless: I was jester and you guys didn’t even suspect me one bit; that’s how good I was.

...

Impulse: Were you onto me that round, Skizz? Skizz: Oh god yes. God yes. Evil: The first thing he did was come up to me and go “I think you’re right”.

...

Tango: I got a question for you guys. Does anyone, like- I need a good couch. Does anyone have a good couch? Brody: Is this really where you wanna be? Tango: Because I’m probably gonna be sleeping on it tonight.

...

*after Evil and Mrs Tango lose as imposter duo* Endless: Wait wait wait, time out for a second here. Mrs Tango: No! Don’t talk about my failure! Endless: Evil. Your cohort was morphed as you when she killed me. Mrs Tango: I didn’t know I sampled [Evil]!

...

*after Impulse’s game crashed* Endless: I gotta say, I enjoyed that game a lot more without Impulse. Impulse: Oh jeez…

...

Skizz: All I know is if I came across Brody’s body, I would not report it. I would step on his neck. That’s all I’m saying. Pearl: Oh my gosh…

...

*Endless reported Impulse morphed as Skizz killing Evil* Impulse: Endless killed Evil. I actually saw him do it. But- But the thing is… I was also Endless. Skizz: You weren’t me? You were Endless? Impulse: Endless, how did you think I was Skizz?! I was YOU! Endless: I don’t know…

...

Tango: I vented right in front of Endless and I was like “let’s go back in the vent” and then I’m like “nah, I’m pretty sure he saw me, let’s pop out again”. It was just the worst.

...

Impulse, reading chat: Baby Shark? If I start singing Baby Shark, they’ll kick me off the ship immediately.

...

Impulse: We got a phantom running around here, Endless. *long pause* Impulse: Endless doesn’t wanna talk to me. He’s mean.

...

Impulse, the engineer: I fixed it, I fixed it, I fixed it. I did it, I fixed it. See? I fixed i- Astro: *kills Impulse* Impulse: -oh gosh. Evil, dead: Hey. He got you. Impulse, dead: I just fixed the stupid lights! *crewmates win on tasks* Impulse: We win anyway. We win anyway. Astro: Did you fix it, Impulse? Impulse. Impulse. Did you fix it? Did you fix it? Did you get it fixed?

...

*Evil and Mrs Tango win as imposter* Brody: I was COMPLETELY wrong. Nice work :)

... Endless: I thought Brody was on the right [reactor panel] so I went up and sheriffed him and it was Pearl, and… yeah… Brody: You’re teaching me to never be nice to you ever again. Endless: Hey, you were the imposter!

...

Skizz, quoting something: Good tree. Solid roots. Good job, tree. Impulse, imitating Skizz from 3rd Life: Bye, house. Skizz, laughing: Aw, I miss Martyn!

...

Tango: So then you’re saying it’s Imp and Skizz? Impulse: It’s not. Skizz: Which, by the way- Good little promotion, there. Make sure you’re subbing to the Imp and Skizz channel. Impulse: Sub to the Imp and Skizz channel! We’re approaching a hundred thousand subscribers, let’s get that silver play button! Skizz: *laughs* Impulse: Naked & Scared Season 21 Episode 4 comes out tomorrow, enjoy! Skizz, laughing: He just keeps on going!

...

*after Pearl keeps dying first* Evil: Okay, who keeps picking on Pearl? Skizz: Yeah, enough! Okay? Impulse: Well, she’s filling in for Joker so it kinda makes sense. Tango: The always dead role. Skizz: No she’s not. She’s actually doing her tasks.

...

Impulse: I feel like Brody’s got a good heart this round. Brody: Yeah, only this round.

...

*the group are waiting a while for Endless after a game* Evil: Uh oh, did we lose Endless? *Endless immediately joins the lobby* Skizz: I’m starting to wonder- Oh, there he is! Impulse: Everything okay, buddy? Skizz: Did we just lose a briefcase of a million dollars?

...

Endless: Oh look, I was muted. I didn’t intentionally suck; I accidentally sucked. Tango, laughing: “I didn’t intentionally suck; it just happens naturally”.

...

*body is reported* Mrs Tango: Oh come on! I was uploading data. Tango: Look on the bright side. *pause* Tango: Oh, nevermind. Impulse: Is there a bright side? Tango: I thought Endless was dead.

...

*after Evil doesn’t manage to make it into the game before it starts* Astro: I was looking out for you, Evil. Don’t worry. Impulse: Sorry, Evil. Evil: All good. Endless: I just wanna say this: Impulse, you are alertive. *pause* Impulse: I’m what? Alertive? Brody: He doesn’t know what he’s saying, don’t worry about him.

...

Endless: I just gave away the code. I’m sorry, I was leaking the code. Brody: You were licking the code? Tango: We don’t need to know what Endless was licking! Impulse: I lick all the codes before I give ‘em to you guys. Tango: I assumed they’re pre-licked.

...

Brody: I skipped cuz it’s not worth talking about. Tango: OW. Is that cuz it’s Endless, or…? Bordy: Yep, cuz it’s Endless. Tango: Awwww. Feels bad. Brody: It feels fine.

...

Impulse, scanning: It’s legit! I’m legit! Evil: Unless you got really good at controlling your character. Impulse: *scoffs* I don’t do video games! Evil: *bursts out laughing*
