might name the au Underscore Borrowers/UB au? since yknow, tubbo_, muchael_ minus the B,,, mhm
does the borrower au have a name/is there anything else that happens there ?
I've been too busy this week to name it yet, same with thinking of things to happen in it in detail.
Like, there very easily can be plot with the current troubles being:
- tubbo doesn't want to stay in a house where the human has seen them, but they need to last long enough here for him to re-gather supplies first. not to mention find out where they'll even go.
- michael has grown up with only tubbo and bugs for company, he wants to trust ranboo and learn more things and tell more stories.
- ranboo wants the borrowers to be more comfortable around him, and needs to find ways to prove he means no harm without getting stabbed by tubbo.
- the house has a rat problem.
plus i picked Ranboo's neighbors on the spot but they're pretty good for things happening too. a neighbor coming over, or tommy (the guy with the bike), or the borrowers secretly hitching a ride from someone to get somewhere, or more borrowers. I need to think out the relationships a bit more before coming up with definite events.
I also like thinking about Tubbo and Michael's lives pre-move, out in the bit of woods behind Ranboo's house because outdoor borrower stuff, how they go about survival and differ from indoor borrowers, interests me. Michael can't fight rats but he can fight cockroaches and spiders and small frogs. Tubbo has killed a toad, held bees, escaped wild animals and made most the things they own. stuff like that.

what’s Ranboo’s life like in this au? how does he handle “tiny people live in my house” ?
Ranboo is just some anxious guy, they have two moms and their own house. the neighbors they've met are a farmer that's retired from something, a nice lady that likes crows and collecting animal skulls, and the fellow young adult that actually lives more in town so technically not a neighbor- but he bikes past all the time to visit the farmer so it counts. he transcribes things for a job, might get another though.
As for how he handles tiny people living in his house, initially he simply blue-screened, Michael was talking way too much for Ranboo to get a single word in about how do you exist.
after that he is very curious but also nervous. you're telling him that a guy inches tall fought off a rat with what's basically a banged up nail?? he does this on the regular??? Ranboo can't even fight. period. what else is this guy not scared to do- stab Ranboo's eyes out?
he knows nothing about how borrowers work, but would like to, and thinks Michael is sweet and would like to get to know both of them. but like, accepting that he's got two housemates somewhere is cool too he guesses, if they wanna avoid him, he guesses. maybe he'll leave some berries on the counter for them.

do you think Tubbo would try to keep Michael away
Oh Yeah, for sure, in fact he would've loved to move out of the house immediately after that encounter, alas they used most of their supplies getting there so they can't for now. he's giving Michael a serious talk instead.
Michael, of course, trusts his dad and will listen when he's told Ranboo is a human bean and it was very dangerous to be that close and why it was dangerous, and to never let Ranboo see him again.... But Tubbo didn't say anything about never talking to Ranboo again, technically.
Tubbo is very protective of Michael, that's his boy, he won't be going out without Tubbo for quite a while already because of the new environment. But he can only do so much, so if Michael decides he's going to sneak out, he's probably going to find a way to sneak out.
This might lead to other problems, after all, it's not only humans Tubbo wants to be there to protect Michael from.

im imagining ranboo like. Trying to keep Michael because this tiny tiny baby very much should not be up and around a house where he can fall of things and die and Tubbo going full special ops trying to get him back
WHEEZE- as exciting and angsty as that idea could be, I don't think I'll make the au go that way.
For one, Ranboo learns about Tubbo and his position as parent early on from Michael and can tell Michael is a pretty capable kid (he's not a toddler in this to clarify, realized I forgot to say), just clueless about humans and human things. For another, Michael would be kicking and screaming and biting the whole time if Ranboo tried to do anything that kept him away from his dad. Unless Ranboo is just trying to babysit.
Tubbo can still, as you said, go full special ops for Michael because That's an idea I Love Actually, I'll find a reason for that, perhaps some assumptions and misunderstandings, but Ranboo is unlikely to try and grab either borrower if they're really opposed to it.
#dsmp g/t#tiny!tubbo#tiny!michael_b#giant!ranboo#dsmp gt#this au is a largely a soft and silly one otherwise i'd love to give ranboo some grabby hands or 'keep 🥺 baby 🥺' feels#but he's currently just. processing a shift in world view. and easily intimidated. and doesn't know how to take care of kids-#much less a kid that's smaller than his thumb!! lol. he just needs a minute then he'll be sooo endeared and curious#tubbo is a badass though. outdoor borrowers have something feral#asks

still thinking about the prev post i rb-ed. enough to have made another cbeeduo au out of it lol <3
like, it turned into outdoor borrowers tubbo and michael having to move into a human house, ranboos house. it's michael's first time and he doesn't quite know the difference between exploring a house or hallowed-out log yet, so of course he's outside the walls waiting for tubbo to finish dealing with a rat, he's inside isn't he? that's where it should be safe.
and then a really big borrower comes along and michael hasn't met many borrowers so of course he says hi! and the really big borrower--seriously this guy could reach tree branches--says hello too. they talk and talk and michael learns the guys name is ranboo, learns more about what things are in a house, gets berries to eat, and gets to tell stories of all his greatest achievements and how great his dad is.
ranboo seems very confused about a lot of normal borrower things, which is fair, michael can't imagine they had a normal borrower life being so big, it's incredible ranboo has avoided the dangerous 'beans' tubbo told him they'll find in houses, maybe michael can ask what they look like- tubbo didn't get to yet.
tubbo finally find where his kid went and sees him talking a very bewildered-looking human bean's ear off, to his horror and amusement. mostly horror. protective parent mode is activated.
ranboo is having a very interesting morning, and maybe a crisis. and you know what? he's not afraid to admit that michael's dad tubbo is surprisingly intimidating even if he is less than six inches tall.
ALSO michael has rolly-pollies for pets, one is named chicken. <3

Obsessed with borrower kids who just don't know what a human is meeting one and having thier first thought being that they were just an absurderly tall borrower
Borrower Kid: WHOA. do you eat a lot of veggies?
Human, trying to process both a sudden tiny person crisis and a lost child crisis at the same time: Hello?
Borrower Kid, entirely unbothered: Mom says if I eat all my veggies I’ll get super tall. Did you do that? I didn’t believe her but you’re the biggest borrower I’ve ever seen
Human, still utterly lost but knows better than to defy any mother: Yeah, yeah she’s right. I ate sooo much broccoli. Where’s your mom by the way?
Borrower Kid: But broccoli is gross :( and she’s in a fight with a rat again. Her sword is so cool. I’m not allowed to play with it. Do you have youtube on your phone? Have you ever heard of Five Night’s At Freddy’s?

The man was as tall as a house - if the house in question is a 4 inch tall lego dollhouse made for Polly Pockets in 2002.

when the giant adores the tiny but outside forces - an external threat, someone manipulating them, etc - forces the giant to specifically terrify their tiny friend
the absolute shatter of trust in that moment, the tiny left wondering if anything they knew about the giant was real, or if they’ve always intended to hurt them
the giant just counting down the seconds until they can explain, apologize, while also knowing fully well this isn’t something they’re gonna come back from easily

I genuinely love when the tiny is angry. Not just a little mad, but absolutely fuming, so packed full of fury that even the giant is terrified of them. Exploding with rage, screaming, shredding anything they can get their hands on. It doesn’t matter if they’re 2 inches tall, no one is gonna mess with that.

Generally people have to actively choose to open up, to be vulnerable with another person. Unless you’re a recently caught tiny, perhaps in a hand, in which case you are very vulnerable and have no opinion in that. Or a giant, suddenly an entire world to this tiny being, essentially on full display. It’s very vulnerable it it’s own way.
That’s why giants and tinies are so prone to randomly saying either the saddest shit you’ve ever heard or sudden love confessions. Being those sizes and that vulnerable leads to a very strong “fuck it we ball” mentality. They’re already feeling emotionally open, so they decide that they may as well tell you every trauma they have, and then propose.

It really won’t hurt anything.
The plate of cookies is right there, on the coffee table. They smell like almond and icing. Next to it is a glass of milk, the beads of condensation shining from the light of the tree.
So I go for it. Cookies for Santa are meant to be eaten, and if not me, then it’ll be the parents. I slip out of a crack in the walls, taking a quick glance to make sure the coast is clear, before darting across the room and scaling the table.
The cookies are almond, and they are so worth it.
I sit down in the glow of the lights from the tree, taking nibbles off a hunk of cookie the size of my head. It’s nice. A Christmas gift to myself. It’s utterly serene, until the overhead lights flick on.
Fight or flight, cookie falls from hand, rising to feet, scout quickest escape route-
“Santa?”
The small word makes me stop in my tracks. Glancing up, in the doorway is the smaller of the human’s little ones. Her pajamas are rumpled, hair in a hurricane, but her eyes shine brighter than all the trees lights combined.
“Santa!” she says, in a half whisper, moving just a step closer.
And I could run. It would be very, very easy.
Alas.
It’s Christmas.
“You’re supposed to be asleep!” I say, demeanor shifting instantly. I wag a finger lightly. “It’s far past your bedtime, Casey!”
At the drop of her name (overheard many times by playing siblings and fussing parents), her eyes go wide as saucers. She bounces a little on her feet, still too nervous to come close, and I can’t help but smile.
“It really is you!” she exclaims, “Did you bring my bear? Why are you so small? Aren’t the elves supposed to be small?”
I lift up a hand, silencing her excited rambles.
“Don’t be silly, the elves are the tall ones! They have to be big, to make all the toys and games and surprises! And I have to be small, so I can look at the presents re-e-eal close to make sure they’re perfect.”
I step closer, sliding my borrowing bag off my shoulder, lifting it up. I’m so glad I dyed the cloth with raspberries, the bright red helping with my new identity.
“I come down chimnies, but you don’t have a fireplace. I’m small so I can slip in through the keyhole! I keep all the presents in my bag, here, and I grow them big when I’ve set them under the tree.”
Casey nods along with every word, the beaming grin on her face never faltering. I chuckle, shouldering my bag once more.
“But, my magic won’t work if anyone’s watching,” I say, “Go to sleep, Casey, and you can look for that bear in the morning.”
She needs no further prompt, and she races off to bed. I take a second to breathe, and then I take a big crumb of cookie, and then I go home.
When the family opens presents in the morning, I stay by the crack in the walls and listen.
Casey gets her teddy bear.

giant: so, what’s borrower culture like?
borrower: every Saturday evening we gather in an abandoned home and sing songs of the Blue Haired Goddess, Her Lady Miku. She’s an ancient figure who’s been prevalent in our culture for ages. we never discovered Her origins, but we worship the statue and give Her the devotion She deserves
giant: you…. you worship an anime figurine??
borrower: of course not, dipshit, I just realized I could say anything to you about borrowers and you’d believe it. Saturday nights are for poker with the girls
