He do be crunchin borrowers and such ✋

Anyways- wanted to draw some art for the fucked up AU that is the borrower bits au sbshvss it's so angsty i love it

First post, here are my Tiny Tommy headcanons:

•He's EXTREMELY reckless when it comes to borrowing

•He likes to make everything a competition (He has a small notebook filled with everything he has done well)

•He was found by Techno first, and was extremely scared of him, mostly because he's used to humans and doesn't know what a Piglin is

•He was immediately adopted by Phil once Techno brought them to meet each other

•He won't admit it, but he actually liked cuddling with the others. He even has favorite spots to sleep in each person (Wilbur's beanie, Techno's cape, Phil's wings, and everyone's hair)

•No one can escape being climbed by Tommy. Everyone is his jungle gym

•He likes to hang on to Techno's braid. Techno isn't amused

When Tommy lost his parents and started living on his own he needed to find a new place to live in. So like any sensible Borrower, he obviously moved to- the zoo

The zoo Tommy lives at is owned by Philza with his family and others working there

Wilbur feeds animals and cleans enclosures, Techno deals with security and ticket handling/letting people in, Niki and Puffy run consesions together, Tubbo and Ranboo are summer interns, DTeam does tours/runs the attraction stuff

Tommy believes that no one knows about him for the first few months, but obviously a few people start to notice things- but it doesn't make a difference for an entire year as Tommy lives freely and befreinds the animals

Eventually when the workers do actually start seeing Tommy (he got careless), they do start to try and get him in their own ways

Wilbur tries to simply catch Tommy by grabbing him whenever he sees the Borrower in an enclosure- but Tommy always escapes, either from being protected by a motherly animal or he just gets away while being annoying

Techno sets up actual traps and makes plans- too bad he always finds them in his office in the morning or used against him

At this point Tommy is having fun- he likes to show up in places where the DTeam will see him but can't get him, especially when other humans are around and they can't do anything, which activated them to no end

Phil hasn't seen Tommy that often, but when he has he usually leaves the Borrower alone, which leads to Tommy staying in Philza's office alot and sometimes talking to them

Niki and Puffy actually realize that Tommy's just a kid and let him rest with them at times and giving him food

Eventually Tommy befreinds Tubbo and Ranboo, which just multiplies his chaos tenfold

The rest of the server is in utter chaos and absoulutely wrecked from war. Eret's castle is also in chaose, but a different kind.

"Ranboob! Stop leaving grass blocks all over my shit!"

"Alright, who touched my knives? And where is all the coffee?"

"Tubbo, I swear to God, if you don't give me back my emeralds, we're getting a divorced!"

"...and that, chat, is how you make nukes!"

Eret is very tired.

XD

After the wars the minors get together and discuss how every single adult sucks and has hurt each of the young borrowers in some way. They make a pact to stick together for a little bit until the chaos dies down... And well... The only place with big enough walls for all of them is Eret's castle

The ruler doesn't mind having the Borrowers stay with them... And honestly he wasn't even supposed to know they were there- but it's Impossible for her to not hear them all screaming in the walls and is slowly starting to contemplate letting them know he knows they're there-

How did the fiances meet? I know that maybe Karl & Sapnap met at the zoo because they both work at it. But what about quackity? He works at the rival shitty zoo, and he kidnapped Tommy. So I'm very curious.

Also love that tommy is the hatched egg, how did he react to that? Especially to becoming a lot of kids favourite character?

You would be right that Karl and Sapnap met at the zoo and started dating first-

As for Quackity... Sometime after the kidnapping incedent, Schlatt starts sending Quackity "undercover" (in a different beenie-) to the zoo to spy on the people there. Quackity didn't get very far though as he spotted a cute boy working at the gift shop and decided to go flirt with them

Up to this point Karl had never seen Quackity before, so he had no idea what the guys that work at the other zoo look like. So since him and Sapnap are open to poly, he happily flirts back to this guy- and slowly after weeks of Quackity and him had been talking everyday, they went on a date, and after a few dates Karl finally introduced Quackity to Sapnap- and although the first meeting was tense, Sapnap does soften up to Quackity, and finally we have Karlnapity

(also just-

Quackity: aren't you forgetting something?

Karl: hmmm, oh yeah! *Kisses Quackity*

Quackity: *swoons*

Karl: *kisses Sapnap*

Sapnap: *swoons*

Karl: *leaves*

Sapnap: glad he remembered~

Quackity: he didn't, I was talking about his split of the bill~

Sapnap: ...... WHAT-)

...

Tommy was pleasently surprized. He usually visits Karl in the gift shop to learn how to read, and wasn't expecting their latest book to have him in it. Now anytime he overhears kids playing pretend as him or making up stories of him being a hero, Tommy smiles

One day while Tommy was borrowing from Techno's office he saw them leave a half eaten muffin behind, which Tommy gladly took and ate. Unfortunately that muffin was actually poisoned, so for an entire week Tommy had to stay with Puffy and Niki as he recovered since they had access to the medicine that would help him to not die

After that Tommy decided that was too much "if they can use deadly traps then so can I", and he began making revenge plans

A month later it was ready

Wilbur had just finished feeding the lions when he noticed that the lock on the cage wasn't working, and he already knew who it might be ("What did that little gremlin do this time?" Wilbur turned and talked into his walkie talkie "hey, can you guys come to the lions, I've got a problem")

In the end Wilbur, Techno, Dream, and Sapnap (all the humans that actively try to catch Tommy) ended up in the enclosure trying to fix the lock

It's at this point that Tommy shows up, he had a scab left over from when his hook had recently cut him, he picked at it and smeared some blood on the humans when they weren't paying attention. Before any of the humans could do anything, Tommy got the door closed and locked it (he'd actually replaced everyone's keys, the lock was fine) and called out to the lionesses "NALA, SELINA, CLEOPATRA HELP!!!!" and just kept screaming for them

You see- the lions consider Tommy a cub. And lions are very protective of their cubs.

Tommy leaves the cage and watches as the humans are chased around by lionesses- getting groomed a little before he left as well

Before the lionesses can get the humans however, Puffy and Tubbo talk Tommy out of letting the humans get hurt ("you can't kill people Tommy" "they'll be fine, Wilbur knows how to handle lions" "they think you're a cub, they're going to kill them" "if they can try and kill me then I can do the same" "...... I'll take away your cake privileges" "..... Fine")

Tommy stops the lionesses last second and finally him and the humans have a talk

It turns out that Techno had used a type of rat poisoning on that muffin that didn't affect humans (he'd tried it) and hadn't taken Tommy's size into account (Wilbur was very much so mad at Techno)

They all make a deal of no more dangerous traps, nothing that can physically hurt Tommy and Tommy can no longer use the animals against the humans

After this Tommy starts to hang out with them more- which sparks a brotherly bond with Wilbur

But they all still try to catch Tommy- everyone loves a good challenge, and Tommy is the biggest of all

As mentioned, Dteam doesn't only run the tours but shows and attractions as well-

Dream runs the dolphin tank and the dolphin show that's put on there (on more then one occasion he's found the little Borrower Tommy trying to swim in the tank, and even had to save them from drowning once- but was imeadidatly blamed for it afterwards since Tommy couldn't remember how he ended up in the water like that)

Sapnap only really goes to the small aquarium part for one thing and one thing only- his favorite tropical fish Mars

Sapnap helps out tremendously with the petting zoo area, especially the horses with Dream- most likely because they both get to ride the horses around for the kids at times- Dream's favorite horse being one he ended up being there to help birth and raise, named Spirit

George likes to hang out in the bird feeding area, he says he's working but everyone is pretty sure he just likes to sit in there and be a bird perch- eventually Dream noticed and trained a parrot to mimic himself and bother George all day

Wilbur may not be that involved with the petting zoo area, but there's one animal there he visits daily. A blue sheep named Friend. When Wilbur was little he found this far too young sheep to be living on their own, on the side of the road, they were shaking, could barely stand even, and blue. Wilbur immediately took them in as his dad started trying to figure out what was wrong with the sheep- as it turned out it had been used for illegal testing, people wanting to make profit from having sheep that would always produce dyed wool, but they were using far too dangerous chemicals for any animal. That's when Wilbur decided he wanted to help animals and is why he's the one at the zoo who has a vetrenary license from actually graduating from a Vet school

One time a moth acadentally got into the butterfly house, and Wilbur was deturmined to kill it before it damaged anything- but luckily Tommy was there and immediately fell in love with the moth and saved them, calling them his own animal from then on, and naming her Clementine

The zoo does have one significant baby animal attraction and that would be their calf Henry. The mother cow had been alone that day apart from one little Borrower that felt bad that she was in so much pain but didn't understand why, well, he didn't understand until she started giving birth. Everyone was busy when that was happening so nobody was able to contact Wilbur, so for the first time ever Tommy revealed himself to the human to tell them what was happening (after having to run for a very long distance as fast as possible- so when Wilbur put him in their pocket he didn't fight). Later, Tommy practically couldn't leave the calf and started calling them Henry. So when the advertisement pamphlets we're finally printed... It surprized no one that the calf was officially dubbed Henry, but they still claim that it had nothing to do with Tommy

Techno makes his rounds every night since he is security- but since it's every night no one would notice if he were to sneak into the polor bear exibit and hang out with his favorite bear named Steve at least once a week

Ranboo may be an intern but he is absolutely amazing with animals, so if Tommy thought he was amazing at getting the animals to adopt him on sight once he meets Ranboo both boys soon discover that the animals will really do anything to keep both of them safe- cue chaos

Schlatt is the father of his two sons Tubbo and Dream- both of whom work at the zoo. So obviously Schlatt decided it looked easy enough and opened his own zoo accross the street that he co-owns with Quackity- obviously without the proper permits

Schlatt's zoo is more of a petting zoo since he doesn't have the proper funds, so it doesn't get alot of customers- which confuses Schlatt to no end. The other zoo has no problem getting people, so what do they have that Schlatt doesn't....?

Borrowers. Or, more specifically a Borrower. Eventually Schlatt and Quackity hold several steak outs to spy on the other zoo for several nights, and it's not difficult to notice the rather chaotic Borrower that is Tommy. So like any sensible person would do- they kidnap Tommy
