I'm just a kingtos boy in a kingdon world

a really important distinction between mumbo jumbo the man and mumbo jumbo the monster is that like cc!mumbo is NOT a gamer? hes a tad nerdy but hes more of a jock. you will meet the type in filmworld occasionally and he does enjoy computer specs and such and clearly enjoys the puzzle of redstone but he got into youtube via bmx videos he has always been a jocknerd. not a geeknerd. now. c!mumbo is like the least athletic man of all time if you asked him to do a one block jump he would crumple into a sort of soggy paper ball and wither away. and he is VERY nerdy about redstone even if he's relatively specialized into machines and not farms, hes still interested in all mechanics. c!mumbo jumbo is, also, of course, very into deathpranks, as is normal for hermits. its enriching.

grian is so funny to me because he is all about posturing and performing. he has a strict moral code that he came up with which is divorced from everyone else's sense of correctness, but he loathes this. he hates the rules. he came up with the rules. it's entirely unnecessary to follow the rules, because they're his rules. but he has to be Correct so even if he hates it he performs like he's following the rules, even if that means abusing loopholes that he invents within his own moral code. sometimes he forgets himself, too! like he's not always successful at performing Correctness. but then he'll go back and justify it (im not red so the trap on dogwarts wasnt my fault it was scars) (guys i had to betray you to help king ren because thems the rules!) (i had to kill jimmy and mumbo because they attacked me)... he has to make a show of dragging his feet because he often questions his own rules, why they even exist, or even outright disagrees with himself! but because Those Are The Rules he has to follow them

(you overhear as i walk past) ...AND WHAT IF vampirism were not an allegory, what if instead we treated it as a study in panic and otherness. vampirism does not have to be an allegory. it is a plot device. it exists to shove people in a corner, like the maze in outsiders smp. it doesnt need to be a perfect allegory for one thing or another. theres something interesting about the thought experiment of killing machines, people who only exist to take, and fighting with humanity, what it means to be other, to be human, to have to take and kill to survive. what survival is worth and to whom and why. (i fade into the distance)

theres something so intimate about interiors in third life. theyre paid no attention to. there are flower pots and beds and barrels. and its silly! and its useless. and its never shown to the viewer in detail. but they made their bases home

Taps the sign grian doesnt hate authority that is a major oversimplification grian actually really loves rules and authority he just also needs something to complain about like a vain little bird puffing up at itself in a glass reflection
