I am good- and yes I have drank water.... As for headcannons- I might as well post this one au I've had in mind for awhile

Puffy (aunt), Dream (brother), Quackity (brother), and Tubbo(brother) are humans with the youngest being Tommy- extended family Sneeg and Scott (uncles/cousins)

Phil (dad), Techno (brother), Wilbur (brother), and Niki (cousin) are fae with the youngest being Ranboo- extended family being Sapnap (cousin) (who's dating a fairy named Karl)

Now for the actual au-

When Ranboo was a baby- before he was even a year old- a fae came and kidnapped him, and left him abandoned in the woods

At the same time those same trickster fae kidnapped little baby fairy Tommy and used enchantments to make him look like a human baby, and replaced him in the nursery where they had taken Ranboo- without the humans even knowing this happened, so they were tricked into raising a fairy like a human (changeling-)

The fairy family that Tommy was taken from, did notice their youngest being kidnapped- but they were too late. They went out into the woods to try and find him, but instead all they could find was baby Ranboo left alone in the woods- so Philza (the oldest in the family) decided to shrink the baby down to fae size, and they would raise it as their own

So basically- Ranboo is raised with the sbi as a fae, and Tommy is with Dream and Tubbo (this made up family dynamic that I came up with-) as a human- Tommy is not a human, and Ranboo is not a fairy

While Phil raises Ranboo, every morning he redoes the spell to make sure Ranboo doesn't grow back to human size (and when Ranboo is old enough to ask- he's just told he has a sickness and this spell is a daily medicine for it- and Phil boops his nose and casts it, and avoids telling Ranboo the truth for another day-) and Phil has a mask and pair of glasses for Ranboo to wear when they're around other fae so nobody will realize that Ranboo doesn't look like a fairy-

When Tommy is around the age of 16 (that age range-) he goes into the woods- and meets a fae- or at least they both think they're a fae(?)

Tommy meets Ranboo- someone who he thinks is a shrunken human at first but Ranboo explains he's just a fairy

Ranboo and Tommy become friends and Ranboo becomes curious about humans- and Tommy is curious about fae

Because of this, Tommy introduces Ranboo to his family- and Ranboo keeps the secret of him sneaking off to see humans, secret from his family

After awhile, Ranboo hears some stories about changelings from he humans- mainly just some myths and legends but...m he realizes this explains alot- ("wait..... I'm the only person in my family that doesn't look like a fairy- hold on a second!")

Ranboo asks about changelings- and finally he gets his answer- he learns a bit about the baby that was taken from Phil as well, who was originally named Theseus, but probably has a different name now because of whatever humans they ended up with

Then Ranboo goes to visit Tubbo and Tommy again- but now the entire human family is freaking out as Tommy is in immense pain and transforming into something- and Ranboo realizes, he should probably get his fae family's help

Turns out- Tommy is a changeling, and the spell the fae who kidnapped him used to make him look like a human, has worn off- so now Tommy is growing fangs, wings, pointed ears, his eyes are changing color, and other things- such as shrinking

Phil is able to help Tommy to not feel as much pain during the transformation- but he can't stop it

So then while the kids are in the other room making sure Tommy is okay- everyone else gets to talking and they figure out that Ranboo and Tommy are the fae and human babies that were switched

I did it! I finally made this au!!!!!!

He does come up with an exscuse for it!!!

At first when Ranboo was younger he just said he would grow the fae features when he was older- but once Ranboo figured out that he was older then when his brothers already had them, Phil said he'd lied so he wouldn't hurt Ranboo's feelings then (lied and) told him that because of Ranboo's little sickness that calls for the morning spells, his fae features aren't growing in

(it especially helped that Ranboo hadn't seen a real human yet at this point)
