some more small town sbi house because it’s been a criminally long time since I posted
Techno and Phil share a duplex
Tubbo and Tommy think Wilbur is the coolest thing ever and he’s a really great big brother
Tommy has a golden retriever collie mix named henry
Tubbo is two days older than Tommy
Tommy will occasionally, in a fit of rebellion, “move in” with Techno for a few days until he inevitably misses Tubbo too much and moves back in with Phil. Phil and techno just roll with it
Techno has a white Tibetan mastiff named Steve. Steve doesn’t do much
Tommy and Tubbo take one look at tall, gangly, socially awkward Ranboo and just go “big man needs us” and freaking adopt him and he just rolls with it because it’s affection and he couldn’t stop them anyway. Tommy is doing his very best to be a bad influence on Ranboo and Tubbo has threatened Techno with a custody war multiple times
Phil notices that Ranboo likes to be around the dogs but both dogs are very much someone else’s so he asks Ranboo if he wants a pet and they get him a bunny
Tommy and Tubbo have to be separated when either of them is sick because they’re both extra clingy when they’re sick and will get the other sick immediately. But it’s also very very hard to separate them
They swap back and forth between having breakfast at Techno’s or at Phil’s
Tommy and Phil are the same height, but Tommy is tall and Phil is short, I don’t make the rules
They have one car. It used to be Techno’s
Tommy: I don’t remember my birth parents either.
Ranboo: I didn’t know you were adopted. You look more like Phil than Wilbur does.
Tommy: yeah. Wilbur always said it was because I was supposed to be in this family.
Ranboo: does it bother you? Not remembering, I mean.
Tommy: no. Phil says I was taken away by the state when I was three. I don’t have memories from before, but.. I have nightmares sometimes. I’d rather not know why.
From the small town au. No context, we die like L’manhole
here’s small town Karl!!
He has one published book and is working on a series called, and I quote, “tales of the… something. I’ll figure it out later.”
He has a free book library on his screened-in porch
He inherited his house from his great aunt, so he has no mortgage
His source of income is Jimmy renting his garage as storage
His great aunt was secretly a time traveler. She wanted him to follow in her footsteps, but died before she could tell him (cause why the heck not)
sbi is my comfort dynamic, so here’s their story in my small town au!!
Phil married Wilbur’s mom when he was 19. She ended up dying in childbirth when Phil was 21, so it was just Phil and Wilbur until Will was 11 when Phil met Techno, who was 18 at the time. Techno didn’t live it the town, he was just there for a job, but he comes back to hang out with Phil more frequently over the next few years. A year after meeting Techno, Phil adopted Tommy who was five. Then when Techno is 22, he moves permanently to town and buys the garden supply store and asks Phil to help him manage it. Two years later, Phil starts fostering 10 year old Tubbo. Then when Tommy and Tubbo are both 15, Ranboo starts working at the garden store. He’s 19.
ok so this is gonna be clumsy and probably a little ooc at times, but I made an AU!!!! this is just the basic idea cause I couldn’t figure out how to put down everything I had, but I’ll add the other bits in other posts. Ask me anything, suggest headcanons, go nuts! Inspired by @dazenightmare’s store au, so check them out, but anyway here goes nothing!
Phil, Techno, Ranboo, Tommy, and Tubbo work at Techno’s garden supply store
Techno is the owner, but he leaves most of the managerial stuff to Phil
Wilbur sometimes helps out
They play unassuming videogame music over the store sound system. Tommy snuck Pigstep onto the playlist, and he and Techno rap to it sometimes
Tubbo likes to watch the bees in the flower bushes
Techno has a potato plant in his office that’s older than Tommy and has produced ungodly amounts of potatoes
The garden store doesn't have a uniform/dress code because it's just whatever Phil will let them leave the house in
Tommy and Tubbo once made a fort out of bags of mulch
Wilbur, Fundy, Niki, and Quackity work at Wilbur’s pawn shop
It’s kinda the hangout place
Their “uniform” is a flannel.
Wilbur blasts closing time by semisonic to tell his employees to go home
Quackity creates a civilization in the unexplored back corner of the pawn shop and manages to kidnap most of the candy store staff plus Karl. Wilbur is incredibly confused
Friend is a stuffed sheep that showed up at the shop one day and Wilbur took one look at it and went “this is the entire backbone of my emotional stability now”
Tommy and Tubbo sometimes help out
Tubbo likes the rotary dial phone and Tommy likes the spoons
Someone pawned a set of boomwhackers. Chaos followed
Bad, Skeppy, Ant, and Sam work at the Nook Cafe
It kind of becomes a place that moms can leave their kids at while they run errands because they’ll be taken care of
Skeppy acts out little stories for the kids. He always asks the kids who should be his princess in the stories and they always say Bad. Bad protests every time but always gets into it and has fun with the kids and Skeppy
Bad bakes the kids treats
There’s this one little boy who is just constantly clinging to Antfrost. He wears a cat hoodie
Sam keeps their appliances running
They have one coffee machine that Sam has been wrestling to keep running for years. Bad refuses to replace it because Skeppy named it
Dream, Sapnap, and George work at the candy store
Dream is just managing in place of the absentee owners
George handles the chocolate because he’s colorblind
Sapnap likes giving kids free samples
Dream is good at making old fashioned hard candies
Sapnap gets mesmerized by the taffy puller often
Someone shows one of them candy store from heathers and now all three of them sing it or catch themselves humming it all the time
Karl is an author, Puffy owns a flowershop, Shlatt is Fundy and Quackity’s landlord, Eret drives the town’s singular taxi, and Purpled makes money running errands for the townsfolk and various businesses in town.
I’ll post more about this, but feel free ask about it or share ideas!!
