💚Sleepy💚

so uh..I felt a little silly.. (behold, an aspec person attempting to write something romantic..)

(Note: This Au does contain Mumbo x Taurtis. If that's not your thing, this au might not be for you)

Here's the plot of it:

○ Mumbo joined in last life, and Taurtis also joined around that time. Yet he didn't go where Mumbo went, instead going to live with Scott and Pearl

○ The only massive change plot wise is Mumbos' inclusion in Double Life. Him and Taurtis become Soulbound due to the Watchers not expecting either of them to participate willingly, which leads to their first genuine meeting. When Grian found out, he had told Mumbo about Taurtis vaugely like, "Oh yeah, he was an old friend, but he's kinda... strange. " Then Mumbo got teamed up with him and went: "Oh my gods, he's a lovable dumbass"

○ They didn't get off to an amazing start, with Taurtis almost getting them to yellow first instead of the ranchers because Taurtis has horrible self preservation skills and he didn't get told about the mechanic change to where he shares health which was either intentional by Grian or a complete accident because Grian had only informed the people he knew would be joining. Thankfully, Mumbo scooped him up and built a base with him

○ The series mostly goes on as normal, with Taurtis and Mumbo dying from the nether. It wasn't by a trap or anything else that would have been cool for either of the rednames. It was a simple failure to crawl out of some lava that was being collected. It was Mumbo who accidentally caused that death, which Taurtis was fine with because it wasn't Mumbos fault... technically.

○ Series continues on with Taurtis and Mumbo being absent from Limited life. They're also not in the vr/April fools episodes, even if I personally consider those series to be cannon. I wasn't sure they'd fit, you know?

○ Secret life Taurtis ends up living with Cleo, Etho, and Grian (who he isn't on good terms with, being exes and all) while Mumbo stays with the mounders. Yet Mumbo makes any excuse he can to see Taurtis because the guy 'fascinates' him. (He just wants an excuse to see his crush. No one believes his excuses, but they don't really care as long as he's not hurt.)

○ Wild Life happens, and Mumbo goes with the sub one club. Instead of Taurtis finding a group, he just kinda trails along with Mumbo and is, unfortunately, with Grian in the same base. Again. Blah blah, wild cards, wanna draw snautis at some point. Taurtis splits off with Grian after Mumbo and Skizz's deaths because he misses Mumbo too much and doesn't want to deal with Grian. He ends up staying with the tuff guys until the superhero episode rolls around in the next session!

○ Taurtis meets Mumbos zombie and is oddly friendly towards him, even giving the guy a hug despite Mumbo smelling like dirt. The session goes on as normal from here with Mumbo going to kill Grian. Taurtis does manage to survive until the final episode, yet he doesn't win. Instead he ends up dying from a mix of trivia bot/suffocation. Possibly wall suffocation like when he was trapped under Grians shrine in Evo (if I felt like being mean) or if his snail was about it would be if the snail had been suffocating.

So yeah! That's the plot. May give personal headcannons on both Mumbo and Taurtis later on if people are interested! ^-^ also giving them designs. I need an actual name for this au at some point, so if people want to give suggestions, then go ahead.
