What’s a part of Grumbo you wish more people talked about?
It could be a moment, an idea, a character trait or piece of lore you think doesn’t get mentioned much, etc.
Hope you are well, have a lovely day.
I took a few days to think of this but I finally remember one.
My first thought was wild life, but then I also feel like that's pretty talked about and cherished in the grumbo community. Which, rightfully so. So then I was trying to think of something else and eventually came up with this:
I need more people to talk about how desperate Grian is for Mumbo's attention. How he seems to do a decent portion of things with "how will Mumbo respond" in mind. He doesn't just want his attention, he wants Mumbo's focus, approval, praise, and time. While doing almost anything for, except say it. He won't tell Mumbo he wants his attention, or 'we should hang out'. He'll go up and do something to get his attention, try to encourage Mumbo to spend more time with him. 'I made a mail system between our bases Mumbo (twice, almost thrice in s8)' 'I've nominated you for mayor Mumbo' 'I got a bunch of our friends to play hide and seek in your base Mumbo' it's always him, he's almost always done something to get Mumbo's attention, like he needs it to live, to function. I have more than one superhero au where Grian becomes CuteGuy mostly because of how much Mumbo loves HotGuy, and he wants to be Mumbo's spotlight.
I also want people to talk about the jealousy that comes with that. I need a slightly sizzling hatred at HotGuy, even though him and Scar are good friends. I need Grian to be slightly more passive aggressive towards skizz on giggs outings cause of the C team. Because how dare they. Mumbo's his, and he deserves to have most of his attention.
And don't think this is one sided, either. While maybe not as intense Mumbo still actively seeks out Grian. Take for example s9. Mumbo, inspiration and motivation at an all time low, verge of burn out, seeks out Grian. Building not only his starter base next to Grian's, but also starting his mega base as close to Grian's as possible. And whiles he's on break he thinks about coming back, about reuniting with Grian.
Not to mention what these two do in the life series! Grian invited a good portion of his friends to the life series, and has actively tried to avoid teaming with Scar because they did that already. Yet teams with Mumbo more than once! 2/3 of the life series Mumbo has been in, Grian and Mumbo team up. I like to imagine the only reason they didn't team up in secret life was because Mumbo thought Grian was too funny, and Grian couldn't complete his task. (Which side note I also think the grumbo community should still be a little more insane about secret life Grumbo, they had some good moments.) 'We can still be friends, Mumbo' 'I'm all the friend you need' I'd be amiss to not mention past life. How Grian searches out Not Tango and Not Joel just for time with Mumbo. Meanwhile Mumbo saying he'll give people diamonds next session as Tango, then giving Grian almost all of Tango's Diamonds at the end, just straight up.
Idk is my heavy preference for yandere aus and stuff showing yet? There may or may not be a reason 'Possessive/Obsessive' made it as a grumbo week prompt. I need people to write more of it, people, I need these men OBSESSED with each other in so many ways. (Not that it wasn't popular when I took the vote, but I knew it was one of like 2 prompts I wanted to make it into the list.)
Also Warden and/or Dragon hybrid Mumbo. I will not elaborate on that one. Its just something we need to be more insane about
Anyways hope the answer suffices.
