Did You Know Why Mumbo Doesn't Want To Pvp?

did you know why mumbo doesn't want to pvp?

because he's just bad at it? no. actually, he was good at pvp. everything is a result of just one bad fight.

this clip is from mumbo's Hermitcraft Ultra Hardcore: Episode 2 - Worst. Partner. Ever., uploaded on sept 15th 2014 (the name of the episode already tells a lot about what mumbo thought of himself in a hardcore pvp survival game 10 years ago).

mumbo opens up to his teammate sl1pg8r about his experience with pvp after ultrahardcore -- UHC -- competition at an irl event eurogamer expo 2013.

Mumbo: "I should probably bring this up. You know, I mention September the 19th [2013], the last time I've played UHC? I did a pretty decent job, okay? I got into the final, and it was being broadcasted on a re-e-eally big screen, right? And I wasn't used to playing on their keyboards, okay, and I was one of the last two, so I was feeling the pressure a little bit, and, obviously, I was at Eurogamer, people knew who I was, so I had some-- some fans who were watching. And I saw the last guy. I charged up to him. And then I threw my sword on a floor. And the commentator said these exact words, he said: "And Mumbo is flying in towards the last person, and-- oh. Oh. That's a bit of a strange technique." Oh, so embarrasing. Obviously, he completely destroyed me. I got absolutely ruined. And I had to just sort of. Stand up from my chair and just blend into the crowd. I wasn't sticking around. And since then I haven't touched PvP."

in autumn of 2013, cc!mumbo was just 17 years old. can you -- just for a second -- imagine the pressure on a teenage boy competing on a big adult euro gaming convention (given how toxic gaming community usually is and how much worse it was then)?

the expectations? the disappointment? the audible reaction of the crowd when he misclicked? it's cruel.

no surprise he doesn't want it to repeat ever again. he holds expectations for him as low as possible -- for his audience, friends and enemies. he says that he's bad at pvp as if he was naturally bad at it. maybe he believes in it himself after all these years.

but can you imagine what could have been if he won?

or even if he didn't win, but simply didn't drop his sword?

for his character, all it took was just shaky hands on a swordsmanship tournament -- and his fear of people and public mistakes.

what a good chunk of lore.

Knife case but they're kinda complicated like

I feel like they would be two people in love, Suitcase being aro and Knife being ace, and their love doesn't require physical affection they literally just enjoy each other's company and like to yap and show each other pretty stuff. They would gift each other cool rocks and flowers to show that they still love the other very much

Edit: like. They love each other on a level above and beyond. It's not romantic, but not fully platonic either. I've experienced it and I can't describe it otherwise. They call each other platonic partners but they're actually very gay but they're also not gay at the same time they just care about each other very much. They so grew in love throughout the show I can't cries sobs explodes

3. Cold Reactor — Everything Everything

We made the mountain bigger Though we had forgotten why It's a dream I'm in with you It wakes me in the middle of the night I love you like an atom bomb, but I've become a cold reactor

Ugh I listened to this song an insane amount this year (naturally, since it’s number three)!! These drawings are a little sneak peek at a dbhc PMV/animatic project I started several months ago that I recently picked up again! It started (and still is) on mumbo’s playlist as a “looking back on Season 8” kind of song, but the more I listened to and thought about it, the more it quickly became a “all of dbhc season 8 retrospective” :]
