i know this isnt the meme but i would LOVE to hear your mumbo hot takes. whats the characterization thats important to you but "isnt canon" or "is only constructed from your own internal logic inscrutable to anyone else". or otherwise overlooked or underrepresented -girltws
OKAY SO. various mumbo things that are important to Me Specifically in his characterization:
if you have reduced mumbo to grian's emotional rock, you are writing mumbo wrong. mumbo CAN be the one who is acting as the emotional rock, but in the sense of. anyone who is close friends with another person can be. he's not a well-put-together, emotionally intelligent man, though. (i mean. okay IRL mumbo is probably a pretty well-put-together man from what i understand but you know what i'm trying to say.)
further point deductions if either mumbo's sole characteristic is "grian comforter" or "grian comforter about scar", a late-joining addition to my list of grievances.
also further point deductions if you write the grian/mumbo/scar trio but have put absolutely no thought whatsoever into how scar and mumbo interact.
(the above three items incidentally are often the ones that end up problems in the specific kind of watcher angst fic i find hard to read.)
mumbo is not responsible. he will, however, be appropriately flustered and concerned about irresponsible actions. this is not the same as being responsible, and his SCALE for what is or isn't irresponsible and should be worried about is wildly out-of-tune.
mumbo will also retaliate but he will be so wet and floppy about it. he gives as good as he gets he's just also pathetic about it the whole time. do you understand me.
mumbo is a guy who really, really wants his world to fall into order. this is not the same as being a stick in the mud or something - i am going to gesture at everything mumbo does in season eight, actually, as a really good example of "mumbo wants his world to be ordered but he doesn't necessarily mean for it to follow the same rules as everyone else, it's just ordered by his own internal rules". literally everything mumbo does about the potato situation and also the moon situation falls into this. another good example is the whole hobbit thing during hcbbs i think.
oftentimes, mumbo's attempts to maintain an ordered world that makes sense to him makes the world much more nonsensical, both to himself and everyone else. this then has a tendency to spiral.
also, mumbo is, in fact, smart. like, he's also a spoon, but he IS smart, and people lose that sometimes a bit, i think. (or lean too hard into 'smart redstone guy' and then make him the responsible adult for some reason.)
..........when i write mumbo he normally also comes out autistic gonna be honest here. this is at least 50% projection but is also somehow vital to characterizing him in a way i like, i think.
honestly the stuff about "mumbo wants an ordered world but is also a very chaotic person" and the autism beam are probably the most singularly "i am pretty sure these are just me" things and also i'm never good at explaining characterizations i like in plain language but something like this,

The difference between seasons:
Season 7 felt like what I imagine it's like having friends all over the world and having a big Metropolitan city shopping district.
But season 8 feels like, people who live in different parts of the same province. I live in a tiny province it's super easy to get to different cities and towns and yet all of them are distinctly different. And each group of hermits really feel like they're making a town together, with all the different shops, houses, resources and infrastructure.

Several years from now, a young person who wasn’t old enough to pay attention to meme and internet culture in 2021 will watch Joe Hills be absolutely ecstatic over his model of the Ever Given preventing Bdubs from transporting a villager to the shopping district, and that person will have no idea why is funny

The difference between hermits part 2:
Most Hermits: While I'm staying here I don't want to be too invasive, I'll do a few things to add to their base but I'll keep it in line with what they want
Some Hermits: I am creating my own ideas to add to the base that I want or think they need, I'll help improve some already existing stuff
Other Hermits: LMAO that block does NOT work for me get that outta here
(No hate to any Hermits)

Grian in code: Zedaph has absolutely free reign over all my base and it would be really good if we showed him how awesome the community is and give him plenty of support.
My English translation: DON'T FUCK THIS UP FOR US!

Just noticed in Mumbos' time-laps he used Scars' music and I didn't even notice because it was the same base 😂

The other Hermits usually follow after one another even if they don't discuss it. Is been a good run friends.
