I miss the moon I wish it was real

[made-nondescript]

the moon crashed a year ago im gonna be ill

[ashiyn]

the way most of the hermits just went "oH my GOD WHAT IS HAPPENING" to moon big or the earthquakes only to start the next sentence with "anyways.. lets do this :D" is actually incredible. even ren, the theater kid, acknowledged how big the moon was only to say "anyhoozle let's get down to one of my favorite things on the hermitcraft server guys and that is to spend diamonds in my fellow hermits shops <3" next. like im sorry what now. YOU'RE JUST GONNA LEAVE IT AT THAT? or bdubs freaking out due to an earthquake only to go "either way let's head over to the leaf spleef!". no wonder he got squished by the moon. the mans attention spawn was not good enough to be able care about what was going on for more than 30 seconds at a time

SCAR CRIMES LIGHTING ROUND!!!

I've been getting a lot of asks in my inbox about this post relating to Scar's crimes lol.

Indeed they are.

@numbah-7-knd and @david-tennants-left-ear I've already talked about the cannibalism here, but the soul trading comes from Last Life! He made soul contracts in order to trade Lives with other players. Also he might've sold his soul to the Vex? I dunno the lore is weird so that's mostly my own headcanon lol.

@zev-the-traveler Possesion and patricide, the perfect pair! So possession is also in the weird hazy Convex lore zone, but for a while the Vex masks possessed Cub and Scar to do their shenanigans. With that context they they end up possessing False by giving her one when she helps with a prank. Source As for the patricide, that's simple! Etho is Scar's dad in the Life Series and he murdered him all three times in Secret Life. Same for Cleo's final death! :P

@welsknightenjoyer @mocah @neurotic-sinkhole and @fuck-edfrugs Ah yes, this. The Geneva Convention violation is the only crime on the list that was committed by real life content creator Scar! He used the Red Cross symbol in the Scarland medical office. However, that symbol is protected by the Geneva Convention and it's very much a crime to use it outside real Red Cross operations.

@weirdocritter Here we go!

Well, the war profiteering in S6 was kinda iconic lol. Concorp made SO many diamonds off the civil war that Scar and Cub were actually giving them away basically to stimulate the economy by the end of the season.

The cannibalism is also a fucked up favourite, that one part where he talks FAR to enthusiastically about eating the NHO is so on-brand lol.

Trading of souls is really spooky if you take it out of its original context!

Now, the one I'm most uncertain about is Oathbreaking. That happened in Third Life with the no-kill pass, especially with the Bdubs situation. That's a bit of a toss-up but considering how much they both care about keeping promises, yeah, I'd count it.

Ritual sacrifice!!!! Actually has happened like, four times on count lol. This man can NOT stop joining cults. There's the Convex Cathedral with blood on the offering altars, there's the constant boatem hole sacrifices, there's sacrificing Bdubs to the Moon, and most recently he's tried to sacrifice his friends to the Magic Mountain Bell!!! Or, well, told them they have to at least.

Ah yes, sale of human remains!!! He tried to sell Lizzie's spine (although it was prolly Jim or Mumbo cause she died in the void lol) to Joel. It's really wild when you look at it lmao.

Identity fraud is a littttle abstract, but he's worn so many random disguises and various characters that I'm almost certain there's some in there somewhere. Also, it seems pretty damn likely that Pirates Scar "murdered" S8 Tycoon Scar in order to get off the hook (pun intended) for all of his crimes.

That's a typo I swear!!! AJKSHDsfkjhfdkjsd. Anyways, I've replaced it with Treason on the OG post now.

[hmshermitcraft]

Sadly I don't have a proper narrative for this but just... Poly boatem suddenly becoming Moth hybrids for like a week until the Luner Cult is dismantled and everyone goes to sleep finally.

~🪶

It was... A very strange week. None of them really knew what to do about it, the moon was already making them all a bit insane but this just accelerated it into a week of utter chaos.

Other hermits affectionately referred to Boatem during this time as a cave full of bats. Just hermits flapping around everywhere and landing on top of each other.

After turning back, their ultimate review was 'kinda fun, wouldn't do again.'

[gumy-shark]

ok gumy, i actually would like some more elaboration in this moon big season such as:

The cults, what the fuck is up with that?

something, something bdubs’ last stand as the moon crash down on him (bc almost every king tag in the last 101 mentioned that and my ears are perked up)

the graphic of the moon crashing into world looks so pretty where we’re you when this happened 🎤 ?

hehehe you’ve fallen into my trap >:D

THE CULTS:

there were at least two cults formed in response to the moon big: the Mooners and the Order of Octa.

the Mooners cult was formed by mumbo jumbo at the end of november. mumbo believed that the moon was angry because hermits kept sleeping to skip through the night, so he gathered the other members of boatem village (impulse, pearl, scar, and grian), and they and cubfan135 all decided to stop sleeping in hopes of appeasing the moon.

as they went longer and longer without sleeping, the mooners got a little. silly. and by silly i do mean insane. their skins got more disheveled, eventually turning out to look like this

(in order: grian, mumbo, scar, impulse, cub, and pearl. i know you aren’t v familiar with these guys and what they normally look like, but i think you can get the picture)

the mooners even resorted to human sacrifice to try and appease the moon, but nothing worked. eventually they gave up, tried (and failed) to blow up the moon with a missile, and started sleeping again.

the other cult i don’t remember as much about. the Order of Octa, comprised of rendog and docm77, had been doing an ARG all season, which culminated in them getting a little bit possessed, shaving their heads into monk tonsures, and going around beheading people while chanting their names. for their finale, they gathered all the heads together and input a code? i think? that opened up a portal out of the simulation that was season 8 (note: the season being a simulation is only canon in ren and doc’s storyline)

BDUBS’ STORY:

okay yeah this one’s pretty tragic. for bdubs’ finale, he rides his horse around the server, collects the profits from his shops, business as usual. except the moon is giant, the ground is basically disintegrating underneath him, and for the large majority of his episode there’s just nobody there. he doesn’t seem afraid of the moon or the chaos at all, instead spending the whole time talking about how everyone’s leaving, so that means that really, all this stuff is his now! how fortunate for him!

all his friends are already gone. his only companions at this point are his horse and his pet parrot. he does his usual outro, saying goodbye to his audience and telling us he’ll see us in the next episode! and then he turns around, and the animation of the moon crashing into the server plays- it is clear from the animation that he could not have survived the impact.

that on its own is sad, but what kicks it into high gear is tango’s finale. in tango’s final episode of season 8, he’s on the moon trying to figure out a way to knock it back into its usual orbit, and he receives a transmission from bdubs. this message shows bdubs a couple days pre-impact, and he is panicked, yelling about how everything’s going to shit (static cuts off the “shit” part bc this is a pg server) and everything they’ve built is about to be destroyed. as he finishes the message, he urges tango to stay in space, because things are so bad on the ground, and talks about trying to find a way to escape.

in this context, the general consensus/implication of bdubs episode is that he tried to find a way to escape the falling moon, failed, and decided to live out the rest of his hours in total denial before dying in a massive fucking explosion. which is significantly more tragic.

WHERE WAS I WHEN THIS HAPPENED?

in the kitchen. i remember being super excited for new episodes, and then got gut-punched by nearly every hermit i watched uploading their finale at the same time.

Day 6: Moon

Tw for nothing. Kinda went with a long one today, whoops. Enjoy!

"Hey... Mumbo? Is the moon big to you?" Grian stands and furrows his brow as he stares up at the moon, which looked lsightly bigger than it should have.

Mumbo looks up from his redstone. "Uh, yeah... why is it bigger?" This gets a shrug from the avian.

"Weird."

A few days pass before some of the other Hermits notice.

ImpulseSV: Does the moon seem bigger than usual?

A chorus of agreements ping through the comms.

XisumaVoid: Let me check up on that

Every Hermit stay where they are until X pings back.

XisumaVoid: I have no idea, there is now flaw or anything showing up. I may have to run a deep search. I'll ping everyone if I find out what's going on.

The Boatem Crew frown.

"What if we started a cult." Mumbo asks, but it's more of a declaration.

Pearl turns and stares at Mumbo with confusion written all over her face.

"Why?" Impulse asks, beating Grian to the questiong circulating all of their minds.

Mumbo shrugs. "Why not? Worship the moon, become insomniacs? Why not!"

"Uh, Mumbo, buddy, I don't think-"
 Scar starts to speak but is cut off.

"Why not, I mean, you were CEO but I think that is one of the better ideas you've had as a former CEO." Grian cuts in. Pearl face palms and shakes her head in dissapointment while Impulse and Scar question what was going through the two British minds'.

Another few days pass before X pings the comms.

XisumaVoid: Absolutely nothing is showing up, I don't know what is causing the moon to become bigger but start preparing to leave. I'll have to start creating the new world here very, very soon.

"Prepare to leave? What?" Pearl stares at the screen of her communicator before looking up at the two sleep deprived and two well rested men in front of her.

"Maybe X will be moving us to a different world until he fixes this one?" Scar says slowly.

Impulse shrugs. "Maybe, who knows, btu X can only create the worlds so fast."

"But the moon can save us!" Grian giggles. Dark bags hand under his eyes.

"Yeah! Moonie can help!" Mumbo, with equally dark bags grins.

"Alright you two need to sleep. Now." Pearl orders.

Grian starts whining while Mumbo complains about the cult.

"Nope! Go to sleep," The Aussie rubs the bridge of her nose, the adds a little quieter. "For the sake of all our sanity's."

MCYT Yuri week - day 6, sleep/party

for @mcyt-yuri-week this sure is a sleep party! sleepover? it sure is a party. It's also on ao3. enjoy!

When Pearl had invited Cleo over to the…‘Boatem Sleepover’, somehow she didn’t expect this. 

The five looney neighbors plus Cub were all in a circle folded forward on the ground and muttering some weird chants. Cleo began to back away, starting to understand what the vibe here was. Unfortunately for her, Pearl had a sixth sense and popped up just as she turned away. “Cleo! Come join us!”

She really, really shouldn’t, especially given the look of manic exhaustion in Pearl’s eyes, but part of her was also a slave to the whims of society conventions. She’d been invited! Even if it was some weird cult, backing out now would be a tad awkward. So they gave Pearl a strained smile. “I’m here? Hi! Now uh, what is this…?”

“Oh we’re staying awake so the moon doesn’t come down on all of us.” Cleo screamed internally.

“Cool! And you want me to…?”

Pearl giggled. “Isn’t it obvious? Stay awake with us! Enjoy the moon in all her beauty so she doesn’t feel left out anymore. Apparently we skip over her too much. Gotta give even the night time some loving, ya know.”

Cleo glanced over at the chanting Boatem members, then back to Pearl. “I suppose I can stay awake? But don’t expect me to start doing weird chanting or anything.”

With a squeal, Pearl hugged their arm. “Oh thank you Cleo, you won’t regret it!”

I already am! 

Pearl led her over to the others, babbling something or other about an introduction and slumber parties. The others lifted their heads to greet her.

“Hi Cleo!

“Hi Cleo.”

“Heya.”

“Mmgn, hey Cleo.” That was Mumbo, who looked close to passing out already. Honestly all of them looked absolutely exhausted. No wonder they were all being freaky! 

Pearl led her to a spot on the grass where the two sat down, the other woman sprawling out immediately on her back. She gazed up at the stars. “Honestly, it’s kinda fun once you get used to it. We’re having a slumber party!”

Gingerly, Cleo settled down next to her. “Mmkay, if you say so. I’m only here for you, just letting you know.

“Oh I know. That’s why I asked!” The tricky star girl threw her arms around Cleo’s waist, tucking herself into their backside. They rolled their eyes, but a slight grin tugged at their mouth. She patted Pearl’s head lighty, and began gearing herself up for a long night.

Two hours in, and the shrieking started. “Oh god, are those phantoms?” Cleo groaned, pushing herself up. The other ‘mooners’, as they called themself, jumped up and began to scramble, yelling illegibly. 

Having calmly gotten to her feet, Pearl surveyed the area with a gleam in her eye. “Yeah! This is the fun bit!”

“Pearl, I don’t think anyone in their right minds would call being dive bombed by phantoms ‘fun’.”

She threw back her head and cackled. “I’ve been awake for three days, Cleo! I’m running on nothing but adrenaline. This is the most fun I think I’ll ever get in my entire life!” Reaching out into the air, a netherite sword manifested in a flash of violet. She began slashing at the air wildly, running in circles. Just when Cleo had thought she’d witnessed the pinnacle of madness…

They caught a glimpse of the first phantom swooping towards them. “Pearl, watch out–” But her warning was evidently unneeded, as Pearl snapped around and leaped into the air, thrusting her sword up and skewering it through the stomach. 

Nervous frantic laughter erupted from who Cleo was pretty sure was Scar. The other Mooners had nothing in the way of organization, running around like headless chickens. To be fair, so was Pearl. She just had a sword about it. Resigning herself to the madness, Cleo sat back down and watched Pearl do her thing.

Dozens of dead phantoms later, some of which Grian and Cub have even managed to kill, the coast seemed to be clear. Pearl strutted back towards Cleo, huffing and puffing with effort. 

They were both taken aback by another screech as Pearl lunged forward to land right in front of Cleo, the sound of her sword skewering flesh echoing in Cleo’s ears. Looking up, the phantom was far too close to Cleo’s head for comfort. “Y’know what, this has been fun, but I think I’m going to leave now.”

Pearl yelped and staggered back so that she wasn’t nearly stepping on Cleo. “Wait! We’ve still gotta–” When a wave of exhaustion hit her. She stumbled and began to fall forward. Panic flared in Cleo’s chest as they rushed to catch her. The sword clattered to the ground.

Cleo maneuvered Pearl so that she was tucked in their arms bridal style. She was still awake, though not by much. While she mumbled to herself, Cleo placed a hand on her forehead. “Just sleep. I’ll take you to your base.”

With that slight bit of reassurance, Pearl promptly passed out. “And you,” they turned to the Mooners. “Please try to sleep too. No one likes phantoms or cults, thank you very much.” With a groan, Mumbo planted face first on the ground. Soon after, a faint snoring sound was coming from him. 

With a sigh, Cleo turned around and began marching towards Pearl’s boat. Someone who’d been ripping through phantoms one moment ago was now laid vulnerable and defenseless in their arms, head curled into their chest. Cleo felt their heart swell and kissed her on the forehead. 

“Sleep well, Pearl. We’ll all still be here when you awake. Hopefully with less phantoms.”

[pixiemage]

People write Mumbo as the voice of reason or the straight man among fools in like a third of the Hermitcraft fics I’ve seen, and - like - have those people watched his episodes? Just in Season 8 alone, the guy chose to never kill anything ever, then immediately got around that by setting things on fire, blowing them up with end crystals, and letting his pet wolf kill them instead, none of which count toward his actual kill count in stats - therefore still “no killing”. This of course led to an end crystal war between all of Boatem, begun by a man who claimed he was all about “peace, love, and plants”. He also turned himself into a potato and a pig, becoming human again by stealing Grian’s soul, because of course that’s the logical solution. He started a moon cult where people refused to sleep as worship to the big moon. He got a donkey, named it “Horse”, and refused to call it a donkey for the rest of his season. And all this is coming from someone who has only seen a THIRD of his Season 8 episodes and picked up other bits from Tumblr posts. I haven’t even SEEN all his S8 shenanigans yet!

Like - the man dresses respectably and is highly knowledgeable about redstone and talks in a way that might make him seem wise, but as soon as you dip below the surface it becomes QUITE apparent that Mumbo Jumbo is as much of a fool and a mischief-maker as the rest of his friends. I can’t imagine the kind of chaos he could’ve caused if he’d chosen to join in on the HC x Empires crossover, for goodness sake–

wrote a s8 tango of the tek variety drabble thing

-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-

LOG 1:

Hello person, whoever you may be. Hopefully someone my home planet of Hermitcraft, if it’s still habitable, or that other liveable planet…what was its name? Yeah, Earth.

My name is Tango-Tek, I prefer to say it as Tango of the Tek variety, but you can call me Tango. I am a blaze, so I can throw fireballs and have other generic fire abilities. I have a fiery tail and my hair is also made out of fire. I can also breathe both oxygen and nitrogen. I have made this travel log, or whatever it even is, as my condition is…pretty bad, I guess.

Our moon, hopefully you’re familiar with the term, was perfectly fine, until a couple months ago, where it started to get bigger. My friends Grian and Mumbo were the first to notice it, then everyone slowly started catching on and making escape plans. Then, as the moon got bigger and bigger, which we eventually realised was actually closer and closer, many side effects started taking place. Chunks of the ground and animals started to fly up and then fall down again, we could suddenly jump much higher than normal, and there were many earthquakes. The Boatem Crew, which had Grian and Mumbo in it, along with some other friends of mine called Pearl, Scar and Impulse, made a cult in which they worshipped the moon and didn’t sleep in the hope of ‘appeasing it’ and getting it to go back called the Mooners, but that didn’t work either. Then those idiots tried to blow up the moon, but no luck. After a while, the chunks of land and animals that had started to float up suddenly stopped coming back down, and we realised that this was our cue to leave. Everyone started leaving the planet some way or the other, as our fear was that the moon was going to crash into Hermitcraft. I had built a rocket and flew away into space, to see where it takes me, and it’s from inside this rocket that I’m recording this right now.

LOG 2:

Update – I’ve landed on a planet. I don’t know which planet this is, but it seems to be quite distant to any other planet I know, and I used to be a scientist along with my friend Zedaph, so that’s saying something. I don’t know if the air outside is oxygen or nitrogen, or if it’s a gas that I’m unable to breathe. I’ve sent a parrot outside to see whether the air is breathable or not.

LOG 3:

Yeah, the parrot died due to suffocation. I stuck my head out for 5 seconds to see if the air was at least nitrogen, but no such luck. However, I did see some  adorable alien-rabbit looking skadoodles outside, so that must be what’s inhabiting the place. Later, I’ll wear my helmet and go out there to do some research about this species.

LOG 4:

MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY!!! THE CREATURES ARE HOSTILE!!! I MANAGED TO RUN BACK TO THE SHIP IN TIME BEFORE THEY TORE ME TO BITS WITH THEIR ABNORMALLY SHARP TEETH, BUT I’VE FOUND OUT THEY CAN EAT METAL AND ARE DEVOURING THE SPACESHIP! I NEED HELP THEY’RE SO CLOSE I-

[1captainjordan4]

i am Obsessed with your immortal au now.

HA SAME, im trying to make a timeline of all the events now and what kinda jobs they did in all the lives cuz i want it to relate to what they did in boatem-

pearl has a llama petting zoo at one point and mumbo starts a cult in another :D

[convexicalcrow]

a thought i had on the way home from work. s8 au where cub and scar team up to do a concorp on boatem. moon big is both real, but also a scam to capitalism on fear and impending doom as they fund all of the moon cults bc why not. scar builds a scam rocket and also a real rocket and cub and scar escape on the real one with their thousands of diamonds and a few pets, bc they're not totally heartless.

[bluiex]

grian who gets extremely cuddly when sleep deprived *stares blankly*

during season 8 grian just keeps distracting scar from his building bc whenever he was looking through his chests he suddenly just gets grian hugging him from behind and absolutely refusing to let go until he hugs back <33

during the (more peaceful) boatem meetings grian just leans his head onto scars shoulder and scars definitely NOT focussing because he has his cute boyfriend half asleep on his shoulder and how could anyone focus then

and then when grian finally sleeps hes definitely happy that hes getting a good amount of sleep now but grian can tell hes disappointed by something and so he asks him about it where scars just like "ohh haha wydm" and grians like "dont try and fool me tell me whats up"

and then scar just admits he misses how cuddly grian was and grian just rolls his eyes and tells him that he could have just told him that while rolling his eyes and then they have a big cuddle session with jellie there as well bc they are in love and hcdhvdhv

i really should write some angst at some point but. theyre just so <33 yk?

- 🧨

THEY'RE SO IN LOVE hhnn Grian just almost always staying at the swaggon during the times they stay awake during the "moon cult" phase- they just cuddle, trying to keep one another awake (they sleep anyways)

[mochiwrites]

Hi hi I have a few questions. About songbirds blood au.

-how many arcs are there going to be in the story?

-is the house referenced in the latest chap Scott's house from afterlife smp?

-will any of the other vampires in the council(besides doc and scott) be relevant later in the series?

-will iskall make more of an appearance in the series?

-will the big moon cult or whatever it was make an appearance in boatem culture(idk hopefully you understand:^>)

-how old is tubbo in this fic? And is the some facts we may learn about him?

I'm very sorry that there are soo many questions I finally got the guts to ask some questions and thought it be best to do it in one shot.

Have a great early Christmas 🎄

hi !!!! omg please don't apologize for the amount of questions 🥺🥺 I don't mind answering them at all, getting questions make me really happy because it shows that people are interesting in my stuff 🥹💕 and a very happy early holidays to you !!! <33

1- I don't have a concrete number on arcs just yet, but at the moment I'm aiming for about 5 or 6 arcs

2- the house is indeed scott's afterlife house!! :D I just upped the scale a bit but I thought it was fitting :3

3- my hope is to make some of the other vampire council members more relevant as the story goes on, yeah!! >:D I'm hoping arc 3 is where we'll start to get into more stuff with the council and I'll be able to introduce more of the council (I've got a mix of original characters and canon characters on there hehe)

4- iskall will make more of an appearance, yes! :D they're mumbo's best friend! gotta get them in on the shenanigans of the mumscarian crew, it's only right

5- OOOOO I ACTUALLY DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THE MOON BIG CULT.... I think I can work that in, 100%

6- so tubbo is about 15 years old! my point of reference is scar moved back to aqua town 15 years before the story began so he could raise tubbo there LOL. he'll be more involved in the story as time goes on too, I've got plans for him :3 I don't have any facts to offer at this moment because my brain is the mushiest pile of brain mush you've ever seen, but I've got some things up my sleeve hehe :3

thank you for your questions !!! they made me really happy 🥹💕

[russetfoxfur]

look i just had to write this

He picks up the phone.

There is a message from Mumbo.

Mumbo Jumbo has sent a voicemail (60 seconds long).

He presses play, waits as his phone catches up to the request (seriously, what kind of internet fizzled out a few days after the apocalypse?) and holds his breath.

For a moment after the triangle play button stops spinning in a circle, there is static.

Then, a voice.

"Grian!" shouted at the top of some very British lungs. "Grian, I- I don't know what's happening and I don't like it and it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, Grian please make it stop!" There is a wordless shriek and Grian sucks in a breath.

"I'm turning into a monster, Grian, please help me. I- I- I think I have dementia right now! I- I'm forgetting- how- huh?" Another scream and Grian is pinned to his phone.

"Grian, if you get this, please hurry, I- I don't know how long I can hold out, I'm- I don't- please!" Mumbo sounds like he's on the edge of tears. "Signed, Mumbo K. Jumbo."

He remembered the signature.

Grian stares blankly at his phone as the static and the shrieking cuts out. Mumbo Jumbo. His best friend. Screaming and shrieking.

It's happening to everyone, he realizes. Not just my apartment. It's not some weird cult that sprang up overnight. It's real and it's killing Mumbo.

Before he does anything else - namely, pack a bag and grab the crowbar - he presses the Record Voice button and says softly,

"Hey, Mumbo. I'm- I'm on my way. I won't let the bad things happen. I'm going to come as soon as I can, and I- I'll make it better. I don't know how, but I will, I promise that on the stuffed bird you made me." He allows himself a laugh. "You did promise I'd get that stuffed bird when you were done."

But then, his expression hardens and tears prick in his eyes. "Please hold out for me. I- I don't know how- you're my best friend, Mumbo, more than Iskall and Impulse, now that they've gone to Concorp, and Scar-" He breaks off. It's been a while since he's even contacted him, because of him being obsessed with money and medicine. Ever since Scar had given him that weird shot that had been supposedly to protect him from demons. Ever since Scar had shared the formula for a strange 'war gas' that, now that he'd thought of it, was probably used to start the apocalypse. Ever since Cub had decided that Boatem wasn't good to socialize with.

"Well," he murmurs, and he lifts his gaze to the framed Boatem crew picture, to the wind-up Entity sitting on the countertop. "I'm going to do this. I won't let you down, Mumbo, I won't. This won't be the last voicemail you send.

"Signed, Grian P. B. Xelqua."

[hmshermitcraft]

warning: cult mention

Mumbo is a Moth hybrid. He has the wings, the antennae, the extra pair of arms and the fluff around his neck.

When he first joined, he hid everything inhuman for fear of getting kicked out, and as time went on, and more joined, it became more of a habit he subconsciously maintained than out of fear.

However, this was no where near perfect: he kept eating inedible things, and he always looked slightly jetlagged all the time. This could be explained away, but it didn't seem to add up, especially when looking at his other habits like why does he like bright light? Why does he sometimes sleep for the whole day? Why does he sometimes give Bdubs a dirty glare whenever he skips the night?!?

This came to a head during Season 8 rolled, and Mumbo made the Lunar Cult. In a sleepless daze, he revealed to Boatem the truth, and showed it when questioned. They all, equally tired, just went "aww pretty" and started stroking the fluff. He forgot he did that after he finally got some sleep.

Then next season, Xiuma and Ren caught him eating a whole block of redstone like cheese at 3AM, fully moth-ed out. Oops...

After fighting him to get the block out of his hands (and making damn well sure he wouldn't get Redstone Sickness) Mumbo kinda just stood there while Xiuma was shocked that he hid this for go long, and Ren going,"well, this explains some things."

Everyone was really concern about their moth hybrid, and had made Doc and Stress give him a check up, which to first determine how messed up in nutrition he was, and to see what specifically he needed to eat. Then he got pampered like never before
