#mumbo ate with these !!!

[shade-e-e-es]

And there we have it! The hermitcraft season 9 crew all together! Took me.. god idk how long. You can find all the designs on my #congrats on your free art XD tag!

Now I can be a little menace. Grin!

sldfkjsld wait Mumbo has been using his soul-sharing skin all throughout Season 9 and even in his non-Hermitcraft videos and I just. didn't notice. He's changed his skin multiple times... and when he changes back, he opts for the soul-share skin instead of his old one.

For some reason I thought he dropped that after Season 8 but no, he's still unapologetically feeding off Grian's soul and showing the physical signs. Still got the waffle mark imprinted on the back of his head...

Good to know that's still part of his canon lore. Freak (affectionate)

Little Mumbo I animated instead of paying attention in class.

Day 19: enderman Mumbo is redstone-flavored

[velen-abera]

Hello, might I ask for a mossy grian and/or an eldridge mumbo? Love your art btw!

Pov: you found a redstoner in a cave

Here you go! One eldritch Mumbo, and one m o s s Grian!

I had so much trouble with this, omg. First, everything was going great! the lineart of Mumbo was pretty good, the Grian design I figured out in class, life was good.

Then, I started to paint the background with watercolors. And then I remembered why I didn't use this paper, as I watched as the watercolors almost immediately bleed through it, and the colours loose their intensity, looking like shit.

So yea, if the painting looks a bit like it was made in anger, it's because it was. And then I lost all the motivation to ink(?) and colour Grian, sorry.

Anyway, thanks for the ask! (and sorry for the long wait)

[tyxaar]

Ranking some of the Hermits and Lifers based on weather or not I think they'd commit cannibalism. Some of this is based of actual canon and some is just vibes. :P Note: This isn't everyone, just the first to spring to mind lol.

all creaturs eat redstone, but do they also eat other things?

yes they can eat other things, but they mainly eat redstone. they can eat everything people can + really anything that looks vaguely edible

[weaselishmcdiesel]

Am i cool now

YESYESYESY YESSSSSS INFINITELY COOLER YOU UNDERSTAND THE ASSIGNMENT PAHAH

[hermitcraftkinfessions]

Sometimes I wonder what the Watchers were. I've seen people compare them to angels but. I'm not an angel, if anything I was more of a demon (of course I was also something else besides a Watcher but still-). I remember having Watcher powers meant that you could See things. Know things. It was similar to TMA's beholding powers. But I couldn't do anything with minds or memories or stuff, I could look to see something, sure! But there was always a weird disconnection that came with it. I was always aware I just just an invader.

Any other hermits that were Watchers/were in close contact with them? If so what would you compare them to? - Etho/Voidling

(For context I am 95% sure I was a Watcher)

Our scar has watcher DNA from being soul linked with their grian but has never understood what it meant or why their DNA got fused so we can't help you there... Someone else may be able to though!.. -Mod hels

“Mumbo, I think Grian and Gem are possessed!”

Scar bursts through the door of the iron farm is building rather suddenly. This is indeed rather impressive, on account of the iron farm not having a door. Mumbo wonders if Scar put on there for dramatic effect, or if bursting into a space while shouting manifests door-like qualities, or maybe if he forgot he’d placed an entirely unnecessary door down. It’s almost as unnecessary as the iron farm, given Grian still hasn’t forgiven him for the whole ‘trying to see how far he can make Grian go to trade permits’ thing, and—

“Mumbo, you aren’t paying attention! I think Grian and Gem are possessed!” Scar says, distressed.

“What? Er, I mean, yes, we’d all rather noticed, hadn’t we?” Mumbo says. “Really don’t know why you’re panicking about it. Bit old, that news is.”

“Why didn’t anyone tell me!” Scar says, making a dramatic hand motion. “It’s terrible! My builds, Mumbo! My beautiful train! I live right next to both of them! Oh, oh, my beautiful train!”

Mumbo squints. “Well that’s a bit rude. Grian was possessed last season and you were perfectly fine putting your base next to him then.”

“It was different, Mumbo! Oh, sure, he had a rock that ate bases, but not with him! And it only barely moved without asking. And the Rift, well, that didn’t move! That didn’t eat parts of my build! Mumbo, do you know how long it takes to make a train design real enough that builder’s magic will actually take to it these days? Standards are so high!”

“Ah. Is the ocean eating bases now? Because if so I admit that’s a little concerning.” Mumbo says, mentally trying to decide how to heist the prismarine permit into Grian’s inventory so he doesn’t have to deal with a self-destroying guardian farm. That would just be silly. He can destroy and rebuild a slime farm every other day, sure, but a guardian farm? Where would he keep the sponges!

Scar has conspicuously stopped talking, Mumbo realizes.

“Um,” Mumbo says.

“I said, why would the ocean eat bases?” Scar helpfully repeats.

“Well, you just said the thing possessing Grian and Gem might eat your train,” Mumbo says.

“What? Why would I be talking about the ocean? Mumbo, you said this was old news!” Scar says.

“That’s because it is! Gem was talking about getting the ocean to possess her even before we got here! It was her whole plan, some kind of spooky boat thing! I was really quite surprised you’d missed it!” Mumbo says.

“Why would I be talking about that? Psssh. That’s old news,” Scar says.

“That’s what I said!” Mumbo says.

“Anyway, I don’t know why you’re bringing our fishy overlords into this. I was talking about the snails.”

Mumbo’s thoughts crash to a blessedly silent halt.

“The what?”

“The snails that are eating everything. I think they’re possessing Grian and Gem.”

“There are snails that are eating everything?”

“Yes! That’s why I’m panicking!”

“Well great, now I’m panicking too! Why didn’t you just say so?”

“I did!”

Mumbo looks back at his iron farm. “Scar, what if they eat this before I realize how pointless it all was? Snails are small! I wouldn’t even notice until the zombie turned into a little pile of smoldering flesh! Why are Grian and Gem possessed by snails, they were supposed to be possessed by the ocean!”

“I don’t know,” Scar says. “Mumbo. Mumbo you have to help.”

“How! I’m not qualified for this!” Mumbo says. “People always assume, oh you’ve known Grian forever, surely you’re qualified, but I’m not! I have a weak will, Scar, he doesn’t even have to bother possessing me before I go along with his schemes! And Gem is possessed too? Count me right out.”

Scar frowns. “Oh. I didn’t think you’d stop Grian. I wanted your help getting our own snails to be possessed by.”

“Why?”

Scar thinks for a moment. Scar shrugs.

“Yeah, you know what, fine,” Mumbo says. “Makes more sense than this iron farm. Um, I guess we build a snail shrine now? I have to say, very strange that this whole cult thing keeps happening to me.”

The two of them put their heads together and start planning. If they’re all going to be overtaken by snails, Mumbo figures, best to get a head start. Maybe then he’ll even get an excuse to start the unnecessary gold farm in the process.

[iron-sides]

back on my missing mumbo jumbo arc :((( today i am missing the little outros on the ends of his videos where he just Says Shit. nobody else is doing it like him fr

[jeena-says-hi]

Mumbo, entering Grian’s room: Scar did it again.

Grian: Peace disturbance?

Mumbo: What no-

Grian: Arson..?

Mumbo: NO, JESUS CHRIST, HOW MANY-

Grian: uh....Attempted murder?

Mumbo NO, HE ATE ALL THE FOOD IN THE FRIDGE, BUT WHAT THE FU-

[void-the-bear]

My favorite Watcher Grian headcanon I’ve seen here is that literally everyone on Hermitcraft knows and it’s just a casual “Idk where so-and-so is. Grian, mind helping?”

I raise you that everyone BUT Mumbo knows, the guy is just oblivious, proven when he ate Grian’s soul in s8 and is still wearing the waffle head skin, yet said Grian looked soulless in Secret Life(I don’t care if those are different “timelines”, fite me.).

Speaking of that, Mumbo absolutely has some minimal Watcher powers, that he’s still COMPLETELY oblivious to. (Like him getting scarily close to guessing Grian and Etho’s tasks.) The Watchers see Mumbo and just see the same funny little guy as we do. They don’t have to mess with Mumbo, Mumbo messes things himself. Like, the most they did to Mumbo was convince him to take his break, they didn’t specify how long, but they enjoyed that it caused Grian to go nuts.

[hermitcraftheadcanons]

Mumbo didn’t know much about his species or heritage (long story that i’m sure you can fill in yourself) that made S8 as surprise to everyone including him.

Really he should’ve figured it out when he would randomly get shorter or taller growing up or on hermitcraft (although that did happen less as he got older) that he chalked up to just inaccurate measurements

Or the fact that he once just woke up with bird wings in S6, he honest to god just thought he was really tired and had been around grian too much

Or the fact that when he’s hungry he’ll look more like the animal he last ate, but to be fair no one noticed it either, since it was only really subtle changes, that went away before anyone could really care about the situation

Or the fact that during halloween he didn’t make a costume… like he didn’t realize till after S8 that everyone else just made their costumes. i mean it was the same season he made a working feeling ai in a night, so being good enough at redstone wasn’t the issue (he just set a repeater at the wrong time)

but either way, he’s having fun purposefully shapeshifting to mess around with people. being just a tad taller than anyone remembers, looking more and more like the person he’s conversing with until they notice (he’s done this to iskall more times than either of them can count), or the running experiment he has going with his totally willing and knowing and consenting participant scar, where he pretends to be a different species everytime he sees him (so far he’s been an avian, an enderman, a warden, a vampire (no clue how he got away with that one), and a snail (grian’s idea)).
