honestly I considered ‘scrimbo’ when trying to solidify a name for this ship, but you have to understand that not only was this the height of the ‘blorbo’ memes and so would have faded into every other fandom post ever, but ‘scarbo’ was also the ship name being used for Mumbo and scar at the time. It was too similar and too confusing!!!
‘Mumscarian’ gives a bigger spotlight to everyone in the ship (‘scrimbo’ only has one unique letter from Grian, the ‘i’). There were a lot of prototype ship names thrown around (like ‘grumbscar‘, but I’m going to be so honest I hated that), but ‘mumscarian’ 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, ‘mumscarian’ 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 didn’t like the idea of scrimbo as my username. Mumscarian rolls off the tongue better#also sorry if you didn’t actually want anyone to respond but multiple people have complained about the name#and I thought I’d give my reasoning#Anyone can do whatever they want forever but it’s 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 ‘shoeshipping’ at first but 1. Shoeshipping was taken by the Pokémon fandom#and 2. Let’s 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 isn’t used by everyone because it’s more of an aesthetic ship name and people don’t know what it’s 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
