Sunflowers, Orchids

Mumbo is the first to admit that he is, in fact, an absolute spoon.

This has never been more apparent to him than when he catches sight of Scar and Grian near Scar’s tree. He wanted to stop by and chat with them, but then he’d seen Grian go up on his toes and give Scar a quick kiss on the lips. The two continued talking like nothing had happened, leaving Mumbo to believe that this wasn’t something new for them. They’d probably been dating for a while now.

Mumbo is a spoon for many reasons. In general, he’s a spoon for just being a bumbling and confused man. More specifically, he’s a spoon for not realizing sooner that Scar and Grian were together (he’d known they were close, but not this close). Most significantly, however, Mumbo is a spoon for falling in love with two people who would never, ever be his.

And it hurts, it aches, it burns. It makes Mumbo want to cry and laugh at the absurdity of it all, and then cry some more.

He has no one to blame but himself, really - how can it be anyone else’s fault? He can’t even be upset that they’re together because he knows that they must make each other ridiculously happy and Mumbo would have to be a horrible person to be angry at that.

But, by gods does it hurt.

It hurts when he sees them laughing together (both enjoying a creeper-related prank). It hurts when he catches sight of them being soft with one another - Scar hand-feeding Grian a cookie. It hurts when he lays awake that night, alone, and pictures what it could be like to have them with him.

He can see it so clearly - Grian asleep on one side, drooling on Mumbo’s shoulder, and Scar on the other side with his arm across Mumbo’s chest.

It makes Mumbo hate himself a little (a lot) for daring to think about his friends that way when they clearly do not return his affections. It feels invasive and disrespectful and gross and it’s torture because he wants them so, so badly.

hey who was going to tell me mumbo talked about growing gills in his whatever new episode was I just supposed to find out for myself (someone did tell me I should watch it. I forgot. Anyway)

MUMBOMAIDMUMBOMAIDMUMBOMAIDMUMBAOMAID

I wish someone would write a fic about mumbo but he’s a mermaid that would be crazy if someone wrote that and there was like a language barrier and they’re all struggling to understand each other and goodtimeswithscar is aromantic that would be nuts if someone wrote that OH WAIT!?!??!!

art is all platonic btw but the fic has shipping

Bestie I saw your post about SUPERCRITICAL and you are so right omg. This is golden. Any other recs you can give me?

Well that depends on what your looking for

For Scarian- “Lost Letters” by stressedbisexualTM, “It’s a Bad Idea, Right?” By funkyplantguy, “Sailing on a Ship in a Bottle” by Captian_axolotl, “Come Closer, Sir, and I’ll eat you alive” By TheBrainrotIsStrongWithThisOne, “Hershey Kisses” by HolographicMoon, “Starboy” By mariuspunmercy,“Suddenly I’m Holding the whole world in my arms”by SalixWrites, “An Allay for an Ally” By Serazimei, “Look at you (Strawberry Blond)” By atiredDMwhoneedssleep (fair warning this is a sad one), “Banned” by HolyMolyGuacamole, “Chasing the Horizon Line” by Nine_of_Diamonds, also there’s the DDVA by kitsune here on tumblr

If you’re a Mumscarian- “The Hermit Coffee Co.” By LuminousMe, “Sorry, I Have a Boyfriend” by RockCatTomato,

If you want just a Mumbo & Grian friendship- “I MISS MY DADS”, “the best of the worst” by Froggiestarrock, “Wait… Piracy isnt illegal?” By Ao3poster

If you want to try one I’ve been following with a Smalletho- “burning flames or paradise (superhero au)” by INSOMNYA, “Somehow, I always end up back in Marianas Trench” by Prudent_seer, honestly you can find good ones here by just scrolling on their tag.

Most of these are not finished, sad I know, but they are fun to keep up with

Also I haven’t read everything and there’s are plenty more great one out there (like a how to train your dragon scarian one) and I try to stay away from smut and other things. But here’s some suggestions!

[thechanglingchronicles]

I actually need more mcyt Hanahaki

[amethystfairy1]

For the scribble corner:

mumbo and scar rescue an abused grian from [insert bbeg here] (smth like an evil king or smugglers or slavers idk)

dnd au (in game or irl as them rping this)

Tldr: mumscarian bird heist

The Mumscarian bird heist!!! I’ll pop it on the list, but just in case you didn’t know, one of my series, Traveling Thieves AU, basically already carries out half this plot, with Scar and Mumbo stumbling over an abused avian Grian at a hybrid slave market. But I am more than happy to try and put another spin on this idea! So onto the prompt list it goes!

Thank you thank you!

hihi! 🌙🌊 anon here to request headcanons about dating mumscarian; falling in love with them, going on dates, the shenanigans theyd get up to, ect!!

thank youuuu

Mumscarian Dating Headcanons

Paring- Scar x reader, Grian x reader, Mumbo x reader, Mumscarian

Warings- None! Just fluff

Summary- How it would be dating Mumbo, Scar and Grian!

Notes- Welcome back, Waves:] I hope you enjoy the headcanons. Sorry it's short

Oh trust me. It’s chaos. 

The four of you fell in love during season seven, but never said anything because of Grian and Scars rivalry

You all finally confesed during season eight and it was a mess of 'Oh, no sorry, you go first' Until Scar just blurted it out

Grian on his own is chaos, put him with Scar and that doubles. Having all his bestfriends with him and dating them? 

You four are menaces to poor Xisuma. 

Mumbo is the calmest, but he’s more then happy to cause a little chaos, but sometimes he just likes to sit back and watch

Being Grians Partner does not save you from his antics

You have to deal with the odd permit office just like everyone else

These boy like to cuddle and you can’t escape it

Mumbo is a bit more reserved when it comes to PDA but Grian and Scar will be all over you unless you express discomfort

Night time is always nice, because there will always be someone there to share the bed with

Even if you have to drag them to bed sometimes.

[rachiecrown]

I dont fully remember what the og ask was but im p sure it was smth like

Hotguy and Cuteguy fighting for mumbos (a civilian) attention

Could be villain v hero, vigilante v hero, vigilante v villain, both on the same team

HEEHEEHOO THIS was so fun to write honestly :33 freakin have some villain Grian and hero Scar fighting over the silly civilian reporter with a mustache they both have crushes on!!

Also btw I used Xelqua for Grian instead of Cute Guy cause I feel like the resident supervillain would not appreciate having matching names with his arch nemesis.

Today was a perfectly average day. The temperature was nice, not too hot to sweat, not too cold to wear a coat. People made their way to and from work, here and there from places in the shopping district. Traffic wasn't too bad and the sun was about to reach its solar noon.

Everything, today, was normal, and Mumbo hoped to the high heavens above it would stay that way. Now, that was an odd wish for someone of his occupation, but nowadays all Mumbo wished for was just a bit of normalcy.

Mumbo was a journalist, you see, but not on mundane topics like coffee shops or pigeons (not like they were boring, no, they were plenty interesting in their own ways). He followed the stories and fights between heroes and villains as up close and personal as possible, even risking his life several times in the process.

At first, it had been an exciting job to follow fights both big and small with his fancy camera in one hand and his motorcycle's handles in the other, weaving through traffic dangerously and filming the way the most powerful hero and villain fought together above traffic. The hero lived up to his name, Hot Guy, with his majestic hair and his somehow beautiful scars, and the villain, Xelqua, was stunning with his white wings and graceful movements.

It had all gone downhill the day Mumbo got caught between a violent fight between the two. His adrenaline had peaked that day, he thought he was really gonna die! But for some inexplicable reason Hot Guy and Xelqua stopped their fighting, showing some sort of immediate interest in the journalist. Mumbo honestly believed he would never be scared again after that day.

Weeks and months passed, either one or the other of the powered menaces finding Mumbo and causing all sorts of mischief to surround him. Three months ago, all Mumbo wanted was a shot as a journalist to earn good money.. but today, all he wanted was a sense of peace and normalcy.

"Well, well, well." Well, there goes that wish. "If it isn't mister Mumbo." Ohh, great, he knows my name now. Mumbo turned around slowly to face the one and only Xelqua. The villain had his hands folded behind his back, his wings spread behind him as he took a few steps towards Mumbo.

"Well well whoopsie, looks like I'm in the wrong place at the wrong time." Mumbo muttered, turning back around to continue walking. He was stopped by silky gloves grabbing his shoulders and Xelqua putting his chin on Mumbo's shoulder from behind. "Don't be a party pooper, pretty boy." Xelqua cooed. Mumbo just slipped out of his grasp. "Listen, I'm sure you understand time constraints, I have somewhere to be." Mumbo lied.

Xelqua basically wilted at this. "You're saying you don't want to spend time with me?"

"When did I ever want to do that?" Mumbo shot back.

"Well hello there!" A third voice sounded.

Mumbo wanted to scream.

Hot Guy approached the two with a lopsided smile, his hand going to Xelqua's face and pushing him away. "Is this horrible, horrible villain bothering you? Do you need a safe escort to wherever you're going?" Hot Guy wondered. Mumbo glared at the two. "I have a lunch to get to before I get hungrier. Now if you'll excuse me-"

Mumbo turned on his heel, only for both of his arms to be grabbed by two pairs of hands. "I'll go with you!" Xelqua shouted, siding up to Mumbo. Hot Guy pulled Mumbo away from Xelqua, picking him up bridal style. "No, I'll get you where you need to go, safe and sound!" He proclaimed. Mumbo just sighed. "Here we go again.."

Hot Guy turned and ran the second Xelqua reached for Mumbo. "So where do you need to go, Mumbo?" He asked, his mechanical glider unfolding and letting him take flight. Oh, wonderful, you know my name too. Well, as long as this gets me where I'm going and you leave me alone, I'll accept it. Mumbo thought. "Shopping district, food court on Ninth Street." Mumbo said. At least this was free transportation.

Mumbo looked around and spotted Xelqua, soaring after Hot Guy with an upset look on his face. Mumbo sighed. "Xelqua on your seven." He exasperated, in which Hot Guy turned quickly around a corner and set Mumbo down. "I will defend you, beautiful citizen!!" He shouted boisterously, striking a pose just seconds before Xelqua tackled him

The two went tumbling into an alley. Mumbo, truly, was unfazed. He snapped a photo of the two wrestling for the news before he turned and walked towards his lunch spot, which was luckily only a block away now.

All I want is one day. One day! But noo, these two utter buffoons have to bother the ever living bits out of me. I'm chuffed, and not in the good way today. Mumbo's internal dialogue spoke as he entered the shop and made his order. He sat at a table near the back. Ugh, he couldn't even enjoy window views anymore because of those two..

Whatever. He had his food, and that was a good thing. Customers came and went as Mumbo filled up, slowly becoming more content with his day again..

..until Xelqua entered the shop.

There were shouts and screams from civilians as Xelqua spotted Mumbo and made his way towards the back. Mumbo would've let himself faceplant into his dish if he wouldn't get dirty. Xelqua stopped in front of his table and held up a thorny rose that was so very clearly picked from someone's rose bush.

"I'm sorry about Hot Guy ruining our special day," Xelqua said, "please take this rose!"

Mumbo stared at Xelqua incredulously. "What kind of stunt is this then!?" He blurted out. Xelqua pushed the rose forward. "I'm not taking the flower! It's full of thorns!" Mumbo then shouted.

The shop's door chimed again as Hot Guy entered, sauntering his way over to Mumbo and shoving Xelqua out of the way with a bouquet of red carnations. Hot Guy placed the bouquet in Mumbo's arms and procedurally messed up the mustached man's hair in the process.

"Is he bothering you?" Hot Guy basically cooed. Xelqua squawked in offense and grabbed Hot Guy's hair, pulling it, causing the hero to shout and grab back at Xelqua. Mumbo simply watched apathetically. Weeks ago, he would be flustered beyond no end, probably folding in on himself and unable to properly take the attention, but he came to realize in this moment that he had become desensitized to the antics the hero and villain put up.

Goodness, these two made Mumbo feel less like himself with each encounter. He dropped the flowers on the table and stood, snatching up his food and walking out as the two fools fought behind him. Being around them really just drained his energy, now.

-

It was hours later when Xelqua pulled off the stupidest stunt of them all, and Mumbo found himself stuck in an abandoned apartment in a pile of pillows with the villain curled around his torso. Despite his apathy towards Xelqua and Hot Guy fighting over him and getting him flowers, he could at least admit that his face felt a bit hot at how Xelqua's head rested on his chest and how his leg crossed over his waist.

Mumbo could only groan in defeat at the desperate antics of the avian. Whatever. He could maybe give in just a little bit, right? Not like this would matter once Hot Guy found this place and distracted Xelqua enough so he could make his escape.

Hesitantly, Mumbo let his hand hover over Xelqua's head. His mind distantly brought up the idea of pulling Xelqua's hair to get him off, but he mentally shot that down, as that would really only make the avian angry. He was a highly dangerous villain, after all.

He let his hand settle on Xelqua's halfway up hood. It would be a small gesture for anyone else, but to Mumbo it was a huge step of faith that the villain wouldn't get even more lovey over him.

Thinking back, this was probably a mistake.

Mumbo and Xelqua jumped as the door slammed open. "So this is where you've taken him!! You scoundrel!! You menace!!" Hot Guy shouted, pointing at the now incredulous Xelqua who held his head up with a look of shock on his half covered face. "How did you even find us!?" Xelqua shouted, which Hot Guy marched over and shoved the screen of his phone in Xelqua's face. "I tracked his phone!"

Mumbo cringed at that. Is that how Hot Guy's able to find me so easily? He was grabbed and lifted by Hot Guy, which Xelqua shrieked and grabbed Mumbo's arm. This quickly resulted in a tug of war with Mumbo as the rope.

"He's mine! I had him first!"

"guys-"

"Let go of him, you fiend!!"

"you both, please-"

"I kidnapped him fair and square!"

"Well I'm here to rescue him!!"

"BOTH OF YOU!!!'

Mumbo yanked his arms away from the two and pulled in on himself. He was about to make a horribly stupid negotiation. "You two either get along and share me on that pillow nest right there-" he pointed past Xelqua, "or none of you will receive any positive emotion from me! Ever!"

The hero and villain both stared at the journalist, and something inside Mumbo's mind screamed at him for saying such a stupid thing. He already began to get nervous by the time the two shared a glance.

"Fiiiine.." Xelqua rolled his eyes, crossing his arms. Hot Guy kicked idly at the floor with a pout. "..maybe I could share.." he mumbled out.

And that was how Mumbo found himself more flustered than he'd like to admit in the grasps of two extremely powerful people who were just so oddly infatuated with him. Xelqua laid with his head tucked under Mumbo's arm, his left arm over Mumbo's stomach and his legs linked around Mumbo's right thigh. Hot Guy had opted to tuck Mumbo's left side into his chest with his right arm over Mumbo's chest and his left pillowing Mumbo's head. One of Xelqua's wings covered the three of them together, blanketing them in a sort of nice warmth that Mumbo didn't know could come from wings.

The journalist could practically feel the animosity radiating off the two, but he could really care less about their feelings for each other. He rested one hand in Xelqua's hair, and the other on Hot Guy's hand. Both the villain and hero made pleased noises at the touches. Mumbo rolled his eyes. "Goodness, the both of you are complete dorks."

Mumbo would just pretend that his cheeks weren't bright pink.

[reecehaswritten]

Mumscarian is a great poly ship cause it isn’t just grumbo + scar or scarian + mumbo

They all actually have chemistry and hang out, they’re funny together and you could leave any of them as a pair and they’d be fine (mumbo and scar are also a great pairing just sayin’)

Also uh little head canon of mine, mumbo and scar both randomly pat/kiss grians forehead cause he’s shorter then both of them (well technically it’s scar cause of the chair, but he is taller without it) they have a contest on who can get the best reaction out of him since he just gets really flustered. Winner gets extra cuddles

Neither of them win, Grian catches them out and they just fall asleep on top of each other

[mushroom-wife]

If I was to post a hyper self-indulgent fanfic of a rat's, empires, life games and origins smp Highschool staff au would people actually read it?

Main pairings are flower ranchers, mumscarian and nature wives.

I'm a full time Tafe student so updates will be whenever I get possessed by the void again

fic tittle is ' If we're quite enough They won't hear us'

Edit: I don't know how to link posts but the first chapter is up
