Don't ask. Just don't ask. It took too long. I'm tired.

I have an AU im working on, its a cubmumscarian vigilante au

Basically like, Cub and Scar are anti heroes, and Grian and Mumbo are vigilantes who are begrudgingly working together because they're both hunting the same crime syndicate, a group that the duo are referring to as "the eye"

Mumbo and Grian are under the impression Convex are part of the eye due to a good old case of wrong place, wrong time, but in reality they're also investigating the eye.

Oh also, Mumbo and Scar are roommates, Mumbo has a crush on Grian's civilian identity, and Cub and Grian work together

[bluiex]

One last thing before I head offline for the night:

Soft Cubbo. I feel like despite his height Mumbo prefers little spooning, he absolutely adores being held in Cub's arms, it makes him feel so safe and protected and loved

Mumbo gets Grian's help in his attempts to flirt with Cub and ask him out, but Grian keeps coming up with ideas that really just loop back to avian courting rituals and Mumbo gets worried Cub isnt seeing his reasons (except Cub does, because Cub is both incredibly smart but also just, observant. And that's not to mention that vex courting rituals aren't all that different from avian ones)

Also Cub kisses Mumbo a lot. The two just constantly engage in PDA to the point that people have stopped hanging out with them in groups of three because no matter what Cub and Mumbo say, they will in fact end up completely third wheeling, Cub and Mumbo are all over each other all the time (Grian finds it kind of cute and wishes he could have that with Scar, but pretends it's sickening how sweet they are, in a lighthearted manner of course)

Cub and Mumbo are constantly cuddling, sitting on each others laps, kissing, etc etc. One time before they got together Cub asked Mumbo to 'compare hand sizes' and Mumbo nearly died right then and there

Your honour they are in love <3

YES LITTLE SPOON MUMBO

Hear me out. In this universe, Grian is pinning hard for Scar- after Grian helps Mumbo get with Cub. Cub and Mumbo help Grian get with Scar

Cub is a big push in this cuz Scar is like his brother and he's seen how Scar's been silently longing for Grian too just he's a bit oblivious to his own feelings and Grians XD

Do you think cubbo knows what its like to feel love

Have they ever felt the touch of someone close to them

[idontthinkimokaymentally]

Hello there Cubbo fans.

[overanalysingfandoms]

I'm absolutely inanse about them because they're two complete opposite insane redstone geniuses

Cub is chill but deeply unhinged, Statistic and calculated, his redstone genius is very intentional although it appears casual

Mumbo is awkward and a spoon but very sincere and always pushing boundaries, his redstone inventions happen by a series of happy accidents that he is incredibly flustered and confused by until he puts the pieces together and decided it was "really quite simple actually" all along

They're both mad scientists within insane mad science inventions but Mumbo's are giant robots while Cub's are 'how insane and difficult can I make this experience... and also kill you'

Mumbo is easily flusterable while Cub easily flusters others with how casual he is

Together they are literally the perfect opposites attract with the most insane mad scientist vibes that clash but somehow work perfectly together to create a monstrosity (/pos) of an invention and a relationship and I am not ok about it

guys. guys. listen. listen. cub and mumbo as a ship have the most perfect setup and you all are sleeping on it but never fear!! as i am here to spread the Good News of cumbo. number one. they're both fucking insane in the head. they both have the capacity to become completely and totally and exquisitely obsessed with each other in a really weird and probably really fucked up way. number two. they're the Best Friends (trademark pending) of scar and grian respectively. they're both victims witnesses of Whatever The Fuck those two have going on at all times. they can complain to each other about it. they can complain together about how scar and grian dance around each other all the fucking time and how insufferable they both are because of it. they can unknowingly start their own dance, orbiting each other at a distance until one of them goes fucking crazy and veers off course and they make out sloppy style. it's perfect. it's perfect.

First Dance To The Rest Of Our Lives

Finally finishing my summer fics for @scarian-smooch-fest… two days before the Autumn starts. I still managed to get it done before! Hopefully it won’t take me months to complete all for the autumn version.

Summary:

Scar and Grian meet at a masquerade party and dance together.

look at this little gremlin 😊

he matches my mouse

[jettkuso]

I had a weird dream where I was at my own funeral and Cubbo was lowering my casket into the ground

It can be real

[seizerofdarkness]

Did Philomena quit? Is AAAnimus now under Dusk's service? Or is she just not getting paid enough to appear? There's also the funnier alternative that Kravitz just likes Benton better.

PFFFFFFFFT WAGNER ALSO SHIPS THEM

...HE'S GONNA SEVER EARTH AND VESTROIA FROM EACH OTHER?!

Viloch, Garillion, if you're in there, stop possessing bodies.

Shun points out it would solve the problem of the elemental storm.

But Dan then argues that only saves the Earth, not Vestroia, from the consequences of the storms. He wants to save Vestroia too.

Upon confronting Wagner, he discovers the guy couldn't care less about it.

These children have taken oath to keep Bakugans safe.

Back at school, Dan is exhausted from a sleepless night. Either he's been training or playing video games, or given Wynton's not as tired, he either got used to Dan's ruckus at night, or Dan simply can't sleep well with what's going on.

Cubbo wtf u doin' at school. Also did he buy his own cam or did he steal one of Lia's?

His fans are all here.

Faustus asked him to come at the academy a long while ago (likely to promote it) and Cubbo thought showing up now would help.

Athena defends his presence as being what most of the students want, and Cubbo wants to make contest when Short refuses to uphold the deal in Faustus' absence.

If he wins, he'll film his show on the school. If he loses, he'll give Short free advertisement for the school so that new students would sign up.

Turns out Short couldn't form a team without forcing the teachers to do it, so it doubles as an evaluation.

Cubbo is represented by Athena as a leader and the ABs as other members. Their challenge is to catch the flag.

It's part of their grade, to Wynton's chagrin.

Athena lays out her plan after Lia and Wynton's defeat. They begin with her selling Dan out by making him Short's target and making him provoke their headmaster.

I spoke too soon, she trash-talks the guy as well. Their combined roast game is on point.

He takes Drago and Blitz Fox out, challenging Athena to a captain brawl...

...turns out it was just a ruse so that Lightning would catch the flag with Howlkor's help.

Athena's a huge Cubbo fan.

Cubbo used them to livestream his show. Meaning that he didn't respect the deal. To Dan's dismay, her admiration clouds her judgment and she admires the ruse.

🗣️ for the ask game

🗣️: talk about your favourite WIP

okay honestly I dont think I have a favourite? I have like, 3, lol

So first is the Project Libitina/DDLC AU which, i am very very obsessed with and can't wait to work more on

So long story short, doki doki literature club is a psychological horror game, and i wont spoil anything, but project libitina is the name for the universe that is hinted at being connected to the DDLC one in the games files etc etc

In this AU, Mumbo applies to be a nurse at a scientific institute founded by this universe's largest religious group, but he doesn't realise that the institute is in fact partaking in human experimentation. He and Cub (a fellow scientist in the institute who Mumbo has been instructed to work under) end up working together to try and bring down the institute, as well as trying to save two of the patients, Scar and Grian (who they may or may not slightly be crushing on. not at all). But at some point in the future i'll also be writing the DDLC parts of it which i am very excited for!

Here's a link to the first part of that one!!!

Then!! We have the crimson lovers AU

Basically, like. We see elf/fae scar, and vampire mumbo, and, assorted grian, all the time! but what if it was grian who was the vampire, mumbo as a fae, and scar as, assumedly, human?

Scar gets bored of living the same old life in the village he's lived in since he was born, so ventures out into the world. But he comes across some not at all human beings, who seem to have some not at all good intents/

AND THEN WE HAVE THE VIGILANTES AU

i am obsessed with this AU. i have full scaffolding for lots of the series and a full plan. I have playlists!!!! and yet i am struggling to actually write it lmao

Grian and Mumbo are vigilantes begrudgingly working together but don't like each other very much, meanwhile convex are antiheros/kind of villains but with morals. Meanwhile, in their civillian identities, Grian and Cub are coworkers, Scar and Mumbo are roommates, and Mumbo works at a bookstore which Grian totally doesnt only go to in order to see the cute guy who works there, totally not

And those are all the main ones right now lol xD hopefully i wont end up with more until i actually work on these more

WIP ask game!

[bluiex]

Ok ok I will!!! and yes you get me, Mumbo will be looking and have this tiny shy smile and absolute heart eyes, and then Cub will look back and grin at him and Mumbo just like, freezes, Mumbo.exe has stopped working, and he'll give a shy little giggle and go red and Grian constantly teases him about it because he's acting like a schoolgirl with a crush

-🎀anon :D

Is anyone else breeding a shit ton of maroon cubbos?

[aether-the-bakugannie]

Top five plotlines I think Bakugan should've continued with but they didn't because they're COWARDS.

1 • Dan's "possession" arc.

Remember when Dan was "controlled" by Haavik? Well actually, (and I will make a full post on this soon) he wasn't being controlled at all. Similarly to Everett, Sophie, McQ and Storm, his mind was simply twisted to bring out his more negative emotions and desires rather than his positive ones. I really feel like this was something Bakugan should've let go on for a few more episodes than it did in canon as it showed a whole different side to Dan than we usually see.

2 • Magnus and Ajit's friendship.

In Armored Alliance episodes 11, 30 and 47 we see Magnus and Ajit interact and it's clear to see that by the end of episode 47 the two definitely have a strong friendship. However in the following seasons Bakugan Geogan Rising and Bakugan Evolutions, despite the two often seeing each other alongside the rest of the AB, they never actually speak with each other. Hopefully Bakugan will allow the two to be friends again in the upcoming season, Bakugan Legends, especially considering how Magnus's voice actor has mentioned he likes the friendship between the two characters as well!

3 • Ajit's roommate.

During Bakugan Evolutions, while the Awesome Brawlers were staying at the academy, they all were given roommates. All of them except Ajit. Bakugan made this into a point that got brought up multiple times and ended up making a whole episode based on Ajit trying to find out who his roommate is and then still never revealed them. The fandom had multiple theories on who Ajit's roommate could be, the most popular theories being that Ajit's roommate was either Magnus, Chet or Kurin. In the end, we still don't know. I wish Bakugan had revealed a roommate for Ajit, maybe in Bakugan Legends they'll introduce a new character who was actually Ajit's mystery roommate that whole time, hm? I don't seriously think they would do that but it sure as hell would be funny if they did.

4 • Magnus's disappearance.

In Magnus of the Wild, episode eight of Bakugan Geogan Rising. Magnus tricks Wynton, Lia, Shun, Ajit and Lightning into battling him just so he'll lose on purpose and be able to enter Vestroia to look for Dan. He never actually finds Dan though, we then don't see Magnus until four episodes later. Meanwhile we see Dan in episode nine reuniting with the AB. Why didn't Magnus find Dan, how did he end up in god-knows-where Cubbo Kingdom? In episode twelve we learn Magnus is still looking for Dan. Seriously Bakugan, what happened?

5 • Side characters.

This is a collection of pretty minor things but things wanted by all of the fandom so much that they've become quite major things in my opinion. Bakugan has such a wide and diverse range of side characters, so PLEASE can they return and get a little more development or at least a mention every now and then. In Armored Alliance, the AB meet a ghost named Monica who Lia befriends. In Geogan Rising, Lia says there's no such thing as ghosts. They could've instead made a callback to Monica and have Lia say "It's fine, I shouldn't be scared of ghosts, the only one I've met was super nice!" instead of forgetting Monica exists altogether. During Evolutions, Callie and Chet could've been given a little more development here and there, they could've been in a couple more scenes even if they're just split second ones showing them help the other academy students get away during Wrath's attacks. They were introduced as brawlers and students almost on the same level as Athena and while they're side characters and Athena is a main character, they still should've had a chance to showcase that. Everett Ray was never that much of a bad guy, he kept being manipulated into joining the wrong people, he should have gotten redeemed in Geogan Rising instead of becoming more of an antagonist. Characters such as Kurin, Pepe, Zhao and The Glanz Four should've returned in seasons after Armored Alliance, they were all fan favourite side characters, they shouldn't have just been forgotten. Then there's Emily, who in Armored Alliance was shown to be a strong brawler, winning multiple battles including some against Haavik's forces that she fought alongside Riot and Magnus. Yet in Geogan Rising she appeared in one episode and was made to seem weak. I'm aware I'm ranting by now but I stand by what I said, the side characters deserved better and should've had more screentime.

And that is all for now! Let me know if you agree/disagree with any of these or if there's anything else you would add to this list as I'm sure there's something I'm forgetting!

(I say, as if the Bakugan community on Tumblr is big enough to even have more than one person see this post lmfao.)
