I'm calling it, people are going to add the blue snail (or Grian's Snail) to the Grumbo family tree as the youngest in the family, I swear on it.

So, I forgot to post this back when the Dark Beginnings Bonus Ending can out but oh well.
Spoilers for the Bonus Ending from Dark Beginnings.
OMG, Chat I feel like this is where the game is going to start at Shadow's side of the story in SXSG.
Thank you Matpat for inspiring all of us.
Your League will never be forgotten.
thanks, Matt
matpat means.... a lot to me, to say the least. I was raised in a single parent household and l haven't really considered myself to have a dad for a long time. while yes, I do technically have a dad, that's only really in the context of genetics. and my daddy issues but that's not important.
what is important is that matpat was my father, in a way. he was dubbed the title of "internet dad" long after he had already been one to me. he's part of the reason that I am the person I am today.
this piece exists because of matpat, for many reasons.
one, because I sobbed watching "goodbye internet" and want to do something special for his retirement.
two, because fnaf is the entire reason that I create what I do today, and that is partially heavily credited to matpat for overanalyzing a game about murderous animatronics in a pizzeria that I was obsessed with the moment I found out about it. 7 year old me was hooked, man.
and then I think through that, I found even more creators, which led to even more hyperfixating on weird nerdy shit, which led to me making more and more art.
and now, here I am. I'll be 17 years old in April. I graduate high school in one year.
I'm growing up.
not that I haven't been for my whole life because, well, that's how that works.
but I am nearing the true "end" of my childhood.
this year is fnaf's ten year anniversary.
this year marks a decade with game theory.
this year marks the beginning of the end.
I look back on my childhood. I went back to make one quick edit of my incredibly old Instagram account that I had way before I should've even had it.
I look back on the friends I had. I look back on all of the early-mid 2010s shit I posted and I smile. because it's cringe. it's cringe as hell and it's beautiful because of that.
and the nonsense theories are beautiful, and every single theory is beautiful because it exists. because it stems from the need to learn and think and have fun.
because that's what theorizing is about, in the end.
having fun.
matpat means a lot to me.
matpat is the reason that I am the person typing out this post. matpat is the reason that I am the person who spent 6 hours and 45 minutes drawing a piece featuring undertale and fnaf characters in it.
matpat inspires me to exist. and create. and think and learn and seek and everything.
yes, it's a bit parasocial. but it's hard for it to not be considering that I've spent more than half of my life growing alongside this man, seeing him grow in real time in tandem with myself.
I'm growing up.
but I still feel like a kid.
that's good and bad.
the bad is the part of my childhood that I didn't get to have because of my puberty hitting early. it's the fact that some of me is still a 12/13 year old in 2020. it's how the internet affected my growth.
the good is the part of me that still gets unreasonably excited when one of my interests gets brought up "in the wild." it's the fact that I love stuffed animals. it's how the internet affected my growth.
I look back on myself as a kid and, yes, I do indeed get embarrassed or genuinely cringe at how I was in some aspects. but I smile.
because it's me.
despite everything, it's still me.
despite everything, I'm still me, and matpat is still matpat, and despite every single thing that we've all gone through,
we're still us.
I remember one year, I bought myself the theorist varsity jacket with some Christmas money or something.
my best friend has the theorist backpack, I'm pretty sure.
hell, matpat's probably one of the reasons that they are my best friend.
two absolute geeks of GT kids, bonding over the nerdy stuff they liked, probably talking about theories. I don't remember super well, that was elementary school, man.
but isn't that incredible?
the fact that I'm still friends with someone I met in the first grade because of nerdy people like matpat.
I am forever grateful that I found the game theorists and became part of that group. so much of who I am is because I am a theorist. because I found one guy on the internet making overanalytical videos about games.
matpat means a lot to me. and if in case he somehow reads this whole weird ramble prose post open letter thingy, then I hope it means something to him.
but, hey, that's just a theory.
thanks for everything, Matt. <3
Happy Easter to everyone. Since I read @thathermitweirdo new chapter for their fic "Love is Vexing" I decided to make some Fan content for the ships that are in which are Grumbo and Scardubs.
(I'm sorry Thathermitweirdo, I saw this pose on Pinterest and it was too funny to pass on, I'm very sorry about this edit that I did. 😭😭😭😭😭)

(Clear up edit: This post is only talking about CC's Minecraft characters not the CC themselves, I'm very sorry if I've confused anyone with this post)
I don't know if it's just me but is Joel going through the same obsession with Lizzie like Grian does with his best friends.
Especially When you think about in the life series games, Martyn has stated that Joel was the only one or the first on the find out that Pearl was Lizzie in disguise and he has stated that both Joel and Lizzie are soulmates in other SMPs that they were in.
Which reminds me, remember of this event kinda.
Yes, the time where Grian's soul was harvested by his best friend which left him having a waffle behind his hair.
Which he still has to this day.
I'm not too sure if it looks deep into how both C!Jizzie and C!Grumbo are both parallel to each other.
This meme captures how am I feeling about what is going on?
NEW AU JUST DROPPED⁉️⁉️
POV: You are their Couples Therapist
He may be a wet cat but he's Grian's wet cat husband.
(Original picture below👇)
(I saw this from a Gachatuber's community post and I wanted to remake this but with Grumbo because it was giving that vibe to me)
Oh well, thank you @thathermitweirdo I laughed quite a lot while doing the picture. The base was very funny.
Happy Easter to everyone. Since I read @thathermitweirdo new chapter for their fic "Love is Vexing" I decided to make some Fan content for the ships that are in which are Grumbo and Scardubs.

Part 5 of the analysis post for Dark Beginnings: Episode 2
Spoiler warning for Dark Beginnings: Episode 2 & maybe for Sonic Prime if you haven't watched.
{Surprise Encounter: Take 2}
Before getting her answer, Shadow springs in to save her like he did in 06 which this could mean that Shadow deeply cares about her wellbeing and this could also mean (probably) 06 is still canon to the mainline games in some way because this scene feels like a reference of how Shadow saves Rouge in 06.
(Also, the Shadouge base is eating whatever these two are on screen with each other, Trust me, I'm one of them)
I could be wrong with this but what if this scene could be foreshadowing Mephiles the Dark in the DLC, later on.
{Together Forever}
Remember how Maria said "Then you can find even more people to trust" Because looks who's by Shadow's side! Rouge and Omega, the one's who stuck by Shadow side since his awakening.
End of Part 5
And historians called them 'Best Friends'
Grumbo
Indeed indeed
