Theories and Headcannons Pt 21

With Grian's latest episode and the Grumbo crumbs he and Mumbo gave to the community, this weekly theory would entail Grian's current endeavours with Mumbo. Ever since Season 8 of Hermitcraft, Mumbo has kept Grian's soul as a substitute to expell the pig curse that tormented him for multiple episodes. This link between Mumbo and Grian was expressed by a waffle back on both Grian's and Mumbo's head until now in Season 10 where Mumbo's skin has been replaced with an aged facade and the removal of the waffle.

The extraction of the waffle would symbolise the final rejection of sorts and the return of pure Mumbo. But with Grian's latest episode the revelation of Mumbo's skin development is finally realised by both members. With the use of Grian's mace he retrieves Mumbo's head realising that a part of him, treasured and kept safely with a trusted someone is gone.

So with the mace, an item treasured by Grian, he decimates Mumbo to retrieve his head. To finally recover the remaining fragment of his soul lost in the continuous flow of time.

Still trying to get back into the flow of writing weekly.

the story i managed to create with all of you [1/4]

OH WOAH THIS IS SO GOOD, BEAUTIFUL ETC

Final breath of a dying star

Closeup and lightless + bonus version under cut

I like to think that it was really hard for Telemachus to consider Odysseus as his father despite all of the years he's been titling him as one. It's easier to trust that someone gone will come back, than to actually believe and envelope the fact that they're here.

my wildlife thoughts about grian

(and the artwork/animatic plans)

Grian kept having flashbacks to the other life series during the finale, which was really confusing for him because he only really remembers 3rd life. This led him to become more frantic

Also, the Watchers had influence over him killing Jimmy. Lizzie was collateral damage.

during the finale he had a slight purple tinge to his eyes and wings. This was stronger during the final fight

he had flashbacks to 3rd life and limited life during the fight

whenever he had the 'mimic' power he had purple feathers and a hidden extra eye

when mumbo and skizz came back he was gonna hug em. then they started insulting him. and that'll relate to something I'll yap about next

the entire theme of this series was the Watchers whispering to grian 'watch helplessly. You can't do anything.' he almost did do smth when he came second, but he didn't, and they laughed

I have a drawing of the trivia bot asking 'They love torturing you, don't they?' and all the answers being 'yes, they do' it's not finished yet

anyway, animatics/art pieces

Grian Animatic of the final two sessions to Metaphor by The Crane Wives

trivia bot piece

The Bamboozlers as the following: Lizzie, the Ringmaster, saying 'Welcome in!', Solidarity, the trapeze artist/tightrope walker, with words saying 'Always teetering on the edge of life and death', and Scar, the magician, holding up a card and saying 'Was this your card?' It's a joker, and grian is the jester.

Martyn and Ren dual drawing- Martyn's final death, 'The king lives', Ren in the final episode, 'But who is he without his faithful knight?'

Grian as a jester, Grian being the wild card

Gem and Joel as the Ace of Hearts (Family)

anyway. I'll get around to watching everyone else's povs very soon- these art pieces are going to take a while.

was doing my yearly rewatch and realized i have literally never drawn the characters before

Finally now that the comic is fully public on comicfury, I get to share it with all of you here, too <3

haha I got overwhelmed again and probably won't be posting another theory this week
