Pieces from an old MCYT colouring book collab project back in 2022 that never panned out ^^

Welcome to the blog and the AU!

As a little intro before the actual intro story to this au, since this will be pinned, A few things to mention!

I'll occasionally edit this post to update the master list/add links or info. And keep in mind, these are all the characters, nothing here is really related to the CCs themselves.

But a small very quick rundown. This will take place around the beginning of season 9, still in their starter-base era. This au is purely fiction and probably not that accurate to any true storyline hermits had haha. 

If anyone has any questions, comments, etc my asks and dm’s are open! Do I know where im going with this au? No not really, it's really an ‘As I Go’ kind of thing.

And if you were here since the start/when I had a bunch of other stuff going on, a lot of that info is deleted for now and will be worked back into the story later on. This blog will be a mix of stories and art, cause I like to do both.

One more thing, I will have the characters of SweetestHoneybee, Mjlor, and DoctorSiren in this au! As well as DoctorSiren's Jumbro's headcanon(which is basically Jimmy and Mumbo are brothers). If any of them have become uncomfortable with this overtime ill respect any boundaries they have <3

But enough intro from me, enjoy this little story and hope you enjoy the blog 07

Once upon a time, Deities ruled separately. Each having their own realm or home to their lonesome or to just them and their worshipers. Back in these days, it was a lonely time to be called a diety.

But in a late Beta build, a Diety has come to be. At first, their purpose was unknown to them, wandering around and making friends with others, heck even joining a realm under a fake persona to try and find their purpose. And was this the best choice they made.

This person? They went by the name Xisuma, their chosen name for non-diety purposes. And in this server, Xisuma found around 5 other deities, all doing a similar thing to him, hiding their identities to find out who they want to be, or be someone different from who they thought they were. This was also the year the Watchers mysteriously appeared, the Listeners not too far being either. These strange beings claim to be alive since the beginning of time but never announced themself till now. And whether you were to believe it or not, their powers rivaled deities. Hell, they even took down a few corrupt deities and harnessed their powers for themselves, or so it seemed.

But looking back at Xisuma and his newfound friends, it seemed their ‘season’ was coming to an end. And not wanting this new wonderful experience to end, and maybe a bit of a deeper feeling in his gut telling him not to let go of this server just yet, he offered to keep the world going. Offered to take responsibility and keep it up to date and watch over it. And after a few meetings and long nights, the decision was made.

The world was reset sometime later. Some left, and a lot more joined. The number of secret deities bumped up to 11. A few had heard about this place on their own, and a few heard it from another deity or friend within the group. 

And seeing this new growth, Xisuma decided to start a secret club of sorts for them all. It was sweet and harmless, mostly. Just, them able to talk and express themselves in godly ways they couldn't ever do before with anyone else. It was really helpful to a lot of them, if not all of them.

Everything went as smoothly as it could go that season, and heck, next season all but 13 in this season were now deities. It was looking up for this little community of deities forming here.

Around a fourth through the season, Xisuma announced an idea to the other deities. They were in the majority here, and they all trusted their fellow members, so why not reveal their secrets? The question had to be sat on for a while for some people.

But, in the end, later into the server, a few non-deity players had already left,  and this group of all-powerful being gathered everyone else. 11 were left to tell their secret too.

And thank the gods, they all took it well. One was a bit, overwhelmed, and had already planned of leaving soon. They promised to keep their secret and keep all of them in a good place in their heart but did leave the server a few days later.

For the rest, they were all rightfully surprised, but what was also shocking was there were a few immortal or semi-immortal beings alongside them as well, three specifically purely immortal.

Next season, it seems a lot more deities were catching onto this new, ‘hangout’ spot that's been created. Heck, a lot of them had smaller meetings with other deities and they just did their jobs together instead of alone. As the season went on, more of the mortal members left. All on good terms, not being pushed out in any way, but they all had their reasons.

By season 5 however, it seemed all mortals had left, and it was time for a new set of rules, a new order. Hermitcraft was now no longer an ordinary server, it has gotten stricter locks and codes, and its vaults and data were harder to breach. This server? Was now a home of deities. Of course, on the outside, no one knew that, they just assume they'd gotten more strict on joining for whatever reason. But on the inside, everyone was immortal in some way, everyone trusted one another, and they were here to help one another. No longer were they alone and fending for themselves, they all now had a place to truly call home.

And whether they decided to stay or go, whether new deities or immortals were added later on, once a hermit, Hermitcraft will always be your home to come back to. Overtime teams are formed to make everyone's lives a bit easier and to bring some “mortal” normal-ness back into hermitcraft.

With 3 teams, Ambassador’s and advertisers, and then teams of just Ambassador’s or just Advertisers; The hermits make a way to connect back with the mortal world besides just doing their jobs. Heck, most if not all hermits even start up some ‘vlogging’ of their builds, life, and shenanigans and start growing a fanbase that way. While not directly leaning into their deities' powers and gifts, for most it feels nice to have a fanbase like that again.

Now, are their darker secrets left unanswered and swept under the rug? Maybe they just haven't been seen yet? Of course there are! But deities can only do so much still, they can't be looking into every odd dark crack all the time. And with a server as protected as theirs, why should they have constant stress and paranoia over it? Everything’s gonna be fine, they travel worlds all the time. Even if there was danger, they can just lose it by going to another world.

Their deities, after all, nothing would be stupid enough to fuck with 20+ of them, right?

Did a redraw!

[doctorsiren]

I dont remember the name but the mumbo and Jimmy brothers AU if Im not to late 👉👈

Jumbros!

[doctorsiren]

Jumbros on the brain

[doctorsiren]

I had an epiphany that the Jumbros AU would work so well with Mario, and so then it devolved as Eevee, Salt, and I came up with the rest of the character matchings

There’s so much green and also Joel is incredibly cursed <3

Mumbo - Mario

Jimmy - Luigi

Scar - Bowser

Grian - Peach

Scott - Poppy Daisy

Bdubs - Kamek

Jellie - Bowser Jr

Iskall - Toad

Joel - DK

Martyn - Rosalina

These were drawn so quickly I needed to get them out of my brain as fast as possible

[doctorsiren]

okay, we’ve seen Jumbros as the Mario Bros…now let’s see the Mario Bros as the Jumbros (:

This was infinitely harder

[sirens-au-asks]

Can I have some fish Mumbo perhaps? Just kind of hanging out and being a silly guy

This is very fitting bc I’ve been thinking about this AU for the last couple of days (this specifically is my Jumbros Seablings AU, so that’s why he’s dripped out in the doomsuit 🤭)

[doctorsiren]

grr grr GRRRR THINKING ABOUT MY JUMBROS SEABLINGS AU WHERE MUMBO IS RAISED BY DOOMGUY ALONGSIDE THE VOID TWINS GRRR I SWEAR IT MAKES SENSE AHHHHHHH

I **will** yell about this!!!

[sirens-au-asks]

Emo Fish Mumbo is best Mumbo , does ssau!npg agree ?

(I originally sent this to the wrong blog woopsy)

[doctorsiren]

Siren I had this dumb idea where instead of Iskall being Doom Guy, it’s Mumbo. And the dude just showed up in Season 2 on the exact day (albeit a month or so later) after Doom Guy died, with ZERO MEMORY. So Xisuma just kinda named him Mumbo. Now, imagine Watchers attacked the season 9 server. And after Mumbo comes back, he sees the wreckage and INSTANTLY gets a series of flashbacks and gears up to save the Hermits. I NEED you to make this a thing please

Sorry but I’m too attached to Dadskall because it makes sense and it’s got a basis to it /lh

Cuz in s2, mumbo was 17, so that wouldn’t make sense either

And I already have an AU where Mumbo has a doomsuit ^^ it’s a seablings AU where Mumbo’s egg (bc twin with Jimmy) gets carried away from where Jimmy’s egg was and is found on a beach by little kid X and Alex when they were in the overworld with Doomguy for a little bit

I’m gonna copy and paste an old message I sent about it in my Discord server here:

— start of the discord message —

“I’m thinking about that one Seablings Jumbros AU where Mumbo’s a salmon and little X find the egg and asks DG if he can keep it bc there’s nothing else around, and DG says yes and whoops instead X and Alex having a new pet, and they have a new brother-

And so I was thinking

Doomguy doesn’t wanna tell Mumbo’s how different he really is from the rest of his family

Unlike X and Alex, Mumbo was literally born and raised in this household

And so I’m thinking that DG would probably tell Mumbo that he was his dad

X and Alex know he’s adopted, but they’re not supposed to tell him

And so Mumbo grows up believing Doomguy is his actual father and that’s why he doesn’t have wings like X and Alex, who everyone knows is adopted

And when Mumbo inevitably asks about who his mom is, DG tells him that Arlene was, but that she died (the death part is true but it happened years before DG even rescued the twins)

Mumbo is named by Xisuma, who insisted that it was his right to name him bc he found the egg, so he names him Mumbo Jumbo because it’s a silly term he heard someone say once and also because it’s what he called the egg bc it was bigger than normal eggs he had seen before

Doomguy gives in and allows X to name Mumbo that, but he himself gives Mumbo the middle name William Joseph, naming him after DG’s great grandfather, his own father, his brother, and his son, all 4 of which went by some version of William Joseph (but Mumbo says his middle name is BJ)

DG also gives Mumbo one of his own last names so that he feels more connected to a family (the twins still go by Void), and so he decides on Blazkowicz (which is the same last name that Alex ends up taking after him and X have that falling out)

Until the moment he first found out he was a fish dude, Mumbo fully believed that DG was his actual dad and that the twins were the only adopted ones

So man

He finds out he’s adopted, but it’s after their father had died and he has to find out the truth from X

I also thought of an iteration of this AU where it’s combined with Dadskall, so like

Mumbo’s best bestie is actually Doomguy

And I’m considering two versions:

One where he knew that Xisuma revived their father

And one where he didn’t know until Season 7-ish (bc everything I know is set in s7)

(Side tangent, but I was also thinking about Mumbo’s accent

So Mumbo (and the twins) were raised by an American man (from Colorado to be exact, if you’re taking that snippet of lore from the 90s Doom novels)

I explained how everyone else in the End City Capital, save it be for a few non-native watchers / admins, are British or European (so like, Scottish, Irish, all those ones, y’know)

Xisuma had a more English accent because he looked up to his father, yes, but he also wanted to be part of the higher-ups and so he tried to be as much like them as possible

Alex had a mix of an American and English, but fully dropped the hints of an English accent when him and X had their falling out (but FW readers may recall that parts of it still came through when he was v emotional)

So Mumbo…he was raised from birth by this American man and probably would have spent a loooot of time with him because he was different from everyone else and felt more comfortable just being with his dad

So would Mumbo in this AU be American???)

Anyways back to the two versions:

1. He knew already

Mumbo would have to learn to live on this server with this man who is actually his father

But now Mumbo knows that Doomguy was never his real dad

He knows now that he’s adopted

And he so badly wants to talk about it with his dad, but oh no! Our father! He’s broken!

Iskall obvi doesn’t know

And so Mumbo is always spending time with him, trying to see if he can gently nudge him towards remembering

And that’s how they become besties

2. He doesn’t know until s6

Xisuma watches Mumbo as he becomes great friends with Iskall, who Mumbo is unaware is actually Doomguy

He doesn’t wanna tell Mumbo because he’s afraid he’ll tell Iskall and like, accidentally destroy his mind, or that it’ll just be really hard on Mumbo, who already went through the grieving process of both losing his dad and then finding out that his dad wasn’t actually his real dad

But then when Mumbo finds out, it’s because Alex tells him. Mumbo confronts Xisuma and is like “dude, this is yet another thing regarding our family and our dad that you never told me and that you lied about-“ and X realizes that, whoops, oh no, he did just kinda do the same thing he had been doing to Mumbo for years

and then Mumbo is really anxious around Iskall bc he now doesn’t know what words could accidentally like, activate the memories or whatever bc he doesn’t know how it works and this is when he meets Grian and becomes closer with him than Iskall. Ofc him and iskall are still besties, but this is kinda how he shifts more towards Grian’s bestie

Also he’s a fish, so there’s that going on as well, but by this point (S6) , he’s known about it for like 5-6 years

Man his family life

In s7 is when Xisuma is finally able to find out where Mumbo actually came from and who his biological family is, and that’s what he learns about Jimmy (this is before Jimmy and Lizzie knew they were siblings) and so that’s when he brings him to HC under the guise of “visiting Grian and friends” but it’s more to introduce him to Mumbo, who he will then, once they are buddies, tell that Mumbo and Jimmy are brothers

They’re not exactly twins in this version of the AU, but they consider themselves to be since the eggs were laid or whatever at the same time

And then after they find out that cool news and after a few weeks, Jimmy finds out that Lizzie is his older sister, and so he brings Mumbo to Empires to meet Liz, and :D

And also Mumbo introduces Jimmy and Lizzie more formally to Xisuma and Alex because y’know, they’re his brothers”

— End of the discord message —

Sorry for that VERY long post, but yeah I’ve already got something regarding Dadskall and Mumbo and I don’t think it would make sense to replace Iskall with Mumbo (Iskall and DG also already have the same colour scheme and the reason Iskall has that robo eye is bc that’s where DG got blasted by a demon and that’s what killed him)

There’s a lot of thought and intricacies that have gone into the Dadskall AU over the last couple years /lh (and also I would kindly ask that other people not make it a thing since it would be sort of a copy of an idea that me and my friends have had for a few years now)

Anyways I hoped you enjoyed reading this regardless! (And sorry if any of that sounded mean ^^ I just woke up)

[doctorsiren]

hASJAFD. didnt know you were gonna draw the Vampire Jumbros!! But thats cool!! Hope you dont mind me dropping down some of my headcannons for them here!!

Mumbo was the first to be turned; Pearl was the one who turned him! (A side note here; Pearl and Grian (SkyDuo siblings my beloved <3) both come from a Vamprye family! meaning they weren't turned!! and they have no idea how it feels!!)

Mumbo was not happy at first. mainly due to the pain. and the soreness that came after.

Jimmy found out and asked to be turned; to which the 3 vamps denied.

Jimmy wasn't happy about it but he couldn't exactly make them turn him so he went along with it

Mumbo told him it hurt. a lot. so this convinced jimmy (no it didn't)

Jimmy eventually find a vampire a bit before s9 starts.

just as s9 is about to start; he goes; "Hey Mumbo!" and flashes his new teeth. -Mumbo freaks out (rightfully so)

Jimmy says something along the lines of "It didn't hurt THAT much"

Mumbo is just in a panic because. He told Jimmy not to. Why is his brother like this? /lh

EVENTUALLY he calms down. Jimmy never tells him who turned him. (Or even if he was willingly turned.)

They both get bat wings and have to learn to fly. because elytra is very different from actual wings.

I love all of this

I also love how people have taken my Jumbros AU and run with it /gen

Makes me so happy to see ^^

[doctorsiren]

Hey so. Jumbros idea mayhaps? Vampire Jumbros. We've all seen the vampire Mumbo stuff and just.

Jimmy and Mumbo as Vampire Brothers.

[doctorsiren]

Hi, My name's Doodle and I may or may not have liked the Jumbros au so much that I changed my main and my side's pfps to match. The Jumbros au. So that's a thing now xD

Let’s GOOOOOOOOO

[doctorsiren]

I've been thinking about Jumbros AU (again), and I realized that quite a few people think of Mumbo and Grian as siblings, and some people think of Jimmy (Sorry, Timmy) and Grian having brotherly behavior... I propose triplets! With Lizzie as a fourth half-sibling on Jimmy's mom's side (:

Oh boy that’s a bit awkward seeing as Mumbo and Grian have two robot sons that call them their dads…

I can’t endorse that idea whoopsie haha

Plus Grian’s older than Mumbo (and yeah ik Mumbo’s older than Jimmy, but not by a lot)

I see Mumbo and Jimmy as twins yes, but it’s unconnected to seablings EXCEPT in specific AUs where it’s seablings *on purpose*, and then Mumbo is also part of the egg lore

Also, I already headcanon Grian and Pearl as sibs (and quite recently added Oli as the third skybling hehe)

As for Grian and Jimmy, I just know them to be really good friends

Not everyone who has brotherly behaviour necessarily needs to be brothers

But yeah, as someone who actively thinks about Grumbot and Jrumbot all the time, I cannot think in my mind of their dads being brothers-

( Also I should add that this was a wild sight to read immediately upon waking up because I wasn’t sure if my brain was processing words correctly and I could not see that well either haha /lh )
