Welcome to the Grumbo week 2026! This is a week centered around the ship between Grian and Mumbo Jumbo. Taking place April 13th - April 19th.

Guidelines:

No one is required to participate everyday, your free to do as many or as little as you want/are able to.

Each day has 2 different prompts, you can use just one or both! It's meant more as to give people options, but no one is by any means required to do both. The only exception to this is the last day, as it's a free day.

All kinds of fanworks are welcome! Almost anything is welcome as long as Grumbo is the focus! The only exception is:

No GenAI!!! We are all for supporting creativity but using a tool that kills creativity, and steals other peoples creations is something that we will not tolerate.

On a different note, you don't need to submit your best work! I don't know who needs to hear this, but making something is better than making nothing!

I will be reblogging all post tagged with #Grumbo week 2026 If you would not like for your creations to be reblogged, than let me know or better yet let me know in the tags of your post. Please also tag what ever day you are submitting for (ex: #day one, #day two, #day three, so on.)

If for some reason the Hermitcraft Charity event ends up being scheduled to be during the week we have planned, than we will most likely reschedule out of respect.

If anyone has any other question please feel free to send me an ask.

Grian scoffs, "Yeah, cause we have all the reason in the world to trust you." Grian's body trusts him — his mind doesn't, has no reason to see him as anything but a dangerous foe, one that has killed him multiple times at this point, but his heart rate calms at his presence, his fight or flight dulls to a whisper, his hypervigilance focuses in on an us. Protect us, it screams out, no care in the world for protecting him from Scar. Scar trots further into the room, "Exactly! I've done so much for you guys, I even kept you safe during your whole sleepy episode." "Right, and you did such a good job at that. Remind me, how many times did you blow me up? Two? Three? I wasn't exactly around to keep count." "Sure, sure, I didn't say there weren't… imperfections. A little TNT here and there may have gotten misplaced along the way. But my goals were as noble as can be."

Hello desert duo enjoyers I wrote something you might like! 👋 It's about learning how to be a person again after serious trauma.

"Red in Tooth and Red in Claw" takes place after Wild Life in an AU where the Watchers have been defeated and Grian has been demoted back to a human. The Listeners have brought everyone to a new world for reasons they refuse to explain, and now Grian has to cope with the loss of his powers and knowing he's betrayed all his friends. Meanwhile, Scar decides he's going to be Grian's neighbor, despite... everything. Why won't he just leave Grian alone?

knight mumbo to prince grian/princess griande. and you think— that man is too clumsy to be a knight! and you’d be right. he dies. but he was suppose to. grian(de) knew he was going to even, because the watcher’s foresaw this and was told not to interfere, this was part of the plan.

they resurrect him. it is the first time but it will not be the last time.

grian running away from the watchers happens in every timeline. doesn’t matter how they treat him, doesn’t matter if they’re worse or better than another version— he will always find a reason to go.

this world is no different. griande will run away.

but would mumbo?

if ever approached by the watchers, would he give up the power they bestow upon him? mumbo, who tried blowing up the moon to save his friends, would undoubtedly struggle to see reason. how could he just give up the opportunity to protect the people he loves?

i think griande would approach him, cautious because recently, there’s a touch of reverence in the way mumbo speaks about the watchers. she just— subtly suggests what would he think of leaving. and he questions it. why? why would they ever leave? she’s safe here, he can protect her forever with their help— why, why, why— be serious, princess.
