honestly I considered āscrimboā when trying to solidify a name for this ship, but you have to understand that not only was this the height of the āblorboā memes and so would have faded into every other fandom post ever, but āscarboā was also the ship name being used for Mumbo and scar at the time. It was too similar and too confusing!!!
āMumscarianā gives a bigger spotlight to everyone in the ship (āscrimboā only has one unique letter from Grian, the āiā). There were a lot of prototype ship names thrown around (like āgrumbscarā, but Iām going to be so honest I hated that), but āmumscarianā already had a couple uses as a tag, sounded better than a couple of the other names, and so was the one that stuck!! It was only partially something that anyone could control, āmumscarianā became the official name out of aesthetic purposes but also out of convenience!
ive just remembered the fact that mumbo, grian and scar's ship name is mumscarian and im so sad. you were given the option of scrimbo, and you chose mumscarian?????
#Sincerely the person who solidified this ship name#Also I didnāt like the idea of scrimbo as my username. Mumscarian rolls off the tongue better#also sorry if you didnāt actually want anyone to respond but multiple people have complained about the name#and I thought Iād give my reasoning#Anyone can do whatever they want forever but itās not like I chose mumscarian via a blindfold and a dartboard#there were some very important things I had to consider when it came to ship names! Wether or not the ship name was already taken#like for instance with DocMartyn I wanted to go with āshoeshippingā at first but 1. Shoeshipping was taken by the PokĆ©mon fandom#and 2. Letās be honest docmartyn sounds so much cooler#And I also had to consider how obvious the ship name was to newcomers and how memorable it was#like redscape still isnāt used by everyone because itās more of an aesthetic ship name and people donāt know what itās referencing!#(tho I love it as a ship name it sounds so pretty)#but mumscarian is pretty easy to tell who it it involves bc it has a lot of key elements of their names!!#anyways sorry for giving you an essay on a minor complaint I just get really into naming ships sjsjsj#and no offense meant! This is all /lh you can do whatever you want forever
