#grumbo au

[azurbright]

Grumbo AU inspired by the news Sims 4 update.

Mumbo Jumbo is the Grim Reaper. When somebody dies, he goes and collects their soul for safe keeping. Grian, being who he is, witnesses a tragic death of a friend, and typically, nobody can see Mumbo when he comes to collect the souls of the reaped, but Grian can for some unknown reason.

Grian talks to him, almost fearful at first, but then he tries talking to him more. Mumbo tells him he has to go, but Grian soon finds out what he is.

For some unknown reason, Grian starts to become infatuated with the idea of meeting this unknown character again. He decides the only way to do it is to find another death. Well, a week passes, and he hasn't witnessed one. Sometimes bad things happen to bad people he convinces himself, he finds the worst person he can and he murders them in cold blood.

Obviously, the Grim Reaper shows up, this time with the intention of reaping quickly. But Grian just stands there, staring, gazing. It irks Mumbo in a way he can't quite explain. He questions the blonde as to his reasoning and Grian tells him it's because he wanted to see him again. He let's him know that he has to go but perhaps one day, Mumbo will see Grian again. He also asks him politely not to kill anyone.

But of course, Grian doesn't listen, and hence, the cycle continues. Grian kills people not for the thrill of the murder but for the thrill of seeing the one thing he wants most. Mumbo.

“What are you, really…?”

“What do I look like?”

“…”

“You can call me a monster. I’m used to it by now, and it’s not like it’s wrong-”

“No I- Listen. It’s strange, but… But in a beautiful way.”

Surely this will have no negative consequences whatsoever!

H&HAU Griangst hehe

Something something about Mumbo wanting to feel needed and Grian wanting to be comforted even though Mumbo believes he’s truly useless and Grian believes he’s a monster

I’ve written about their dynamic in a previous post, go read it if you’re curious <3

old grumbo hannigram au concept. that ill never finish so i might as well post

[azurbright]

AU where Mumbo finds out Grian is a watcher and it quite literally goes to his head. Like Mumbo treats him as if hes a God, he worships the ground he walks on, anything Grian asks for "okay".

It starts to go to Grians head he knows in himself he's not fully a watcher more like half, he's not a God but he starts thinking like one. He starts making thing's happen that shouldn't be normal.

I think that the watchers at some point will think that Grian is trying to accept his destiny so they come down and attempt to take Grian. But of course he knows what happens if they take him. He's not going down without a fight. Like he wins by the power of love or something.

songbird au (mumscarian)

i came up with this new mumscarian au (someone help me) and i must share its details with at least one person out here cause i'm going absolutely crazy lol so here are some ideas after the cut! (please note that i don't know the specifics yet; these are just starting points!)

this au would take place in a mix of a steampunk/cyberpunk setting

the watchers are in charge of people's and nations' fates (they're gods); they enjoy causing chaos through wars and battles

watchers control said people and nations through vessels (or individuals) called 'colibris' (which is the plural form of the word 'colibri' and means 'hummingbird' in french; pronounced kol-ee-bree)

each nation has its own colibri; they're highly revered because they are basically the watchers' prophets. they are high-status (like royalty). they're singers, though their songs and words persuade others and manipulate people's emotions! thus, they realize watchers' prophecies and fulfill their goals

grian is a colibri! he resides in the capital of his nation, hermitiapolis (placeholder name). he absolutely hates being a colibri, though; he feels like a plaything, like a mere toy, and hates causing people's misery

mumbo is his bodyguard; he despises seeing grian suffer because of his nature, and is ready to do whatever that's in his power for grian to finally feel happiness (grian appreciates the thought but cannot help but feel as if it is useless, especially because watchers are always watching and using grian for propaganda)

grian and mumbo are in love huehue ;; though it's controversial, so they keep their union a secret (especially because no one is supposed to touch colibris - but watchers - and 'touched colibris' are considered 'tainted' and 'impure' by watchers) (it's a sacrilege) (the watchers know tho... they're always watching mwuahaha - great starting point for lots of angst and drama me thinks)

before they can even concoct a plan to escape the capital though, an assassin infiltrates the palace and threatens to kill grian

the assassin is (of course!) scar :D

scar is part of a group of assassins who wish to annihilate watchers (and, consequently, the first step in their plan is to murder colibris)

mumbo, scar, and grian then come to an agreement: they escape the capital and begin their journey across the world in hopes of finding a way to harm and potentially kill the watchers without necessarily killing colibris

eventually, scar falls in love with waffle duo, and waffle duo reciprocate his feelings (squeals)

evidently, the watchers are mad at grian's attempts to reject his nature, but they cannot really harm him or kill him since they need him for their purpose (lol). because they can possess colibris (and take over their bodies and thoughts), they decide to control him from time to time and make him sing to scar and mumbo to hurt them through persuasion and emotion-control

scar has magic that sometimes allows him to resist the call of colibris, though (don't know how, don't know what, but he does lol - still working on that!)

grian is even more horrified, then, because he truly doesn't know what he's fully capable of (and he's hurting the ones he loves ;;)

as for appearances, i had this vision where grian was wearing a golden mask and golden headphones (with wings on the sides). holograms would be part of the elite class' common attire, and so people would add non-existent accessories to their appearances. therefore, grian would have 'fake' golden wings; he cannot fly with them, they're only for appearances

i'm thinking of making grian trans for this au as well... he would be afab and would identify as a man

scar would most probably be on the ace spectrum (like myrsexual and/or greysexual)

they're all poly! :P

general colours for this au are dark purple, gold and white (idk i like to associate random things to aus to make it more fun lol)

let me know what you think! i'm planning to write a series of drabbles or a long fic for this au cause i love it lots huehue :> send questions/comments through the ask button if you feel like it! :D
