#tiny farmer au

[goosedawn]

Okay, but Squid finally seeing Techno after the Potato War and just being indignant because he got beat by someone so freakishly small he is not even 6 inches tall. Techno is indignant because he is a perfectly normal height. Squid is the freakishly tall one.

this is the perfect opprtunity for me to propose something as well:

yknow how techno took his win in a calm and collected manner? first meeting.

(sorry i took so long to answer this fjhdjhdjhbkjdnhv)

Timestamps from: "I Became the Mayor of Skyblock" by Technoblade

(5:39) "I decided to call in an old rival..." - Technoblade

Techno continues on with his life for days on, but finally, he somehow finds his way to society again, seeing that the entire town has been taken over by a tyrant of a mayor. The townspeople called for aid, and from the depths of his cold heart, he decided to help (....what do you mean he only did it so people would buy his potatoes-).

For a bit, he did his work by himself, only getting help from some other living scarecrows (listen, I really like the idea of some scarecrows coming alive [cough] PHIL [cough]), TimeDeo and Jyn (...? Is that how you spell their name?). (Dunno what the process for taking over the mayor would be exactly but,,, chchskdlcx,,,)

But you can only do so much work with... living scarecrows. With a bit of reluctance, he calls for help from SquidKid. And then together they defeat Dante :]

(Also, it's funny to think that the town has a mayor that they've never seen. All they know is that the previous mayor is gone, and the new one is pretty chill. /Lh)

(6:31) "Is there any way to do the teleport room without just like.. guessing?" - SquidKid

(6:36) "You are like... little baby, watch this." - Technoblade

-

Being tiny has its perks.

"Wait, what do you mean you can solve this maze in an hour or less?"

Techno turned towards the bigger hybrid, crossing his arms as he nonchalantly stared up at them. SquidKid only gives him a baffled look back, their tentacle-like hair slightly sprung up to further show their confusion.

He knows this only because he's known the man for far longer than they've known him.

He knows more personal information than should be shared, somehow finding the other farmer's parent's numbers along with a few other things. He had jokingly pocketed away the parent's number in the back of his mind, although, he had no real plans of ever using it. Well, maybe he had played with the idea of calling SquidKid's parents to dunk on the fact that a wild borrower had been winning their competition, but he ultimately decided not to for obvious reasons.

He knows the hybrid's schedule like the back of his hand, having to work around it for the better part of an entire year. Using that knowledge, he had sabotaged countless of SquidKid's tools, poking small, unnoticeable holes into their hoses and irrigation systems.

And he knows SquidKid's behavior from how they speak to how they express any sort of emotion. Lies were easily debunked from the small twitch of the corner of their mouth as they suppressed a smile, and anger was easily shown from how their strange hair pieces would spike up.

Yet, he can't help but feel slightly at unease in front of them. He supposes it's only natural, seeing that there's a huge height difference between them. Plus, this was practically the first time they've been closer than two fields of length in between them. Well, disregarding the times he's gone snooping around the bigger farmer's place, but that's neither here nor there.

"Squid, look at me," he raises his hand, gesturing towards himself, "I'm tiny, yes?" the squid hybrid nodded slowly, and he pointed at the stalks of tall fern and crop, "to you, this would basically be a wall you can't get through. For me, though...."

He jumped off his perch, tightly holding his trusty bag and sliding towards the flora before easily disappearing behind the thicket and appearing moments later at eye level, holding the stalk of the crops easily,

"It's easy to go through."

SquidKid makes a quiet 'oh' sound with another nod of their head, looking slightly in awe. The amazed look turns to one of confusion again, though, and he awaited their next question with a raised eyebrow, "but... the maze is big, how are you going to get through it all without tiring?"

Techno grinned, lifting a hand to his mouth and loudly whistling. He doesn't hesitate to slide back to the floor as a blur of white fur bounds towards him.

"Carl!" he exclaims, wrapping his hands around the rabbit's fluffy neck and combing through the fur with his fingers. He backs away to pull out a broken-off piece of a carrot, feeding it to the eager bunny before turning towards the astonished squid hybrid with a grin, "my noble steed," he waves a hand towards the still feeding rabbit.

"You tamed a rabbit," they dumbly point out, having to metaphorically pick up their jaw off of the floor.

"Yup, I did. you can stop gawking now," he huffed, "you're going to catch a bug with your mouth if you keep your mouth wide open."

"...And you named it Carl?"

"What kind of question is that?" he snorts, shaking his head, "yes, I named him Carl, and yes he's going to be the one helping me through the maze. Any other silly questions?"

The man stumbles over their words for a second, and he amusedly watches from below, "I- yeah, yeah, you bozo," they finally settle on saying.

"Alright, cool, I'm going to go find the exit now," he turns away from the hybrid, climbing on the back of the rabbit's back, "see you there."

He doesn't give SquidKid the chance to respond, already setting off through the thicket. And he sure doesn't suppress the grin that crawls up his face as Carl bounds past stalks and stalks of crops.

Having distracted SquidKid enough to get away, the bigger farmer had barely thought to ask how they themselves would traverse the maze.

They must have realized soon enough, though, since not seconds later, he hears a strangled yell of his name along with a loud groan.

Pain, it's been too long since I've written something /Lh

"(Also, it's funny to think that the town has a mayor that they've never seen. All they know is that the previous mayor is gone, and the new one is pretty chill. /Lh)"

When the townspeople come to greet the new mayor, they come thinking that it's SquidKid who's done everything since it's always been SquidKid going into town and doing the talking- the scarecrows being unable to do so for obvious reasons, and Techno unable to do so without revealing his entire existence.

So when the sheepish farmer calmly explains that he's just a helper of the mayor, they're... rightfully confused. At first, they want to know the real identity of the mayor, but SquidKid wearily tries explaining that said mayor really doesn't want to be revealed. They only conceded when he shakily points to the unknown farmer's territory, most of them getting the message.

Techno is very thankful that SquidKid doesn't take his title and also doesn't reveal his existence.

"It would have been so easy for the squid hybrid to just pluck his tiny form from their back pocket and shove the wrathful spotlight onto him.

He wasn't even able to even escape now as he found himself stuck in the hybrid's pocket. The crowd had come quickly after SquidKid had removed the other mayor for him, and he remembered feeling panicked as he stared at the other hybrid. The next thing he knew, he was shoved into their pocket.

He couldn't get out without tumbling to the ground with a splat, and, even worse, the possibility of one of the townspeople pointing him out with gossip-drinking eyes was incredibly high too.

He shakily gulped, greedily taking the air around him as he tried to stay calm. He never liked being near anyone- not even the scarecrows - so the second-hand contact with his past rival was not the finest experience.

"I- uhm," the squid hybrid stumbled over their words, "t-the mayor really would rather not... have the entire town to greet them.."

The crowd hushedly mumbled to each other, and one straggler called out, "well, tell them to come out anyway!"

By the Blood God, he hated this. He shrunk to the bottom of the pocket. This was one of the worst worries for a borrower; he had already been pushing his limit with the scarecrows and SquidKid, but this was another level for him.

"...Uh, well, in that case," he felt SquidKid shift, and a hand brushed over his pocket. He tenses, waiting for the fingers to tug him out and waiting for SquidKid to finally prove that they're not as kind as they look, for them to finally get some semblance of petty revenge.

"You can find them over there." He pauses, confused to as why there's no hand reaching down for him. The words finally dawn on him, and he's both relieved and perplexed to what SquidKid could have meant by that.

But hatever they've done has made the crowd fall unnaturally silent, and so he's at least a little relieved for that too.

The same voice that was brave enough to speak before pipes up, "you mean the ghost farmer?"

....He didn't know that the townspeople had come up with a name for him, but he's suddenly thankful that he's gained enough popularity that people stop and gawk.

"Y...Yes," SquidKid slowly acknowledges the villager, "they were the one orchestrating all of this. I was just helping with the... talking parts," the hybrid is silent for a moment before they burst into a stammering mess,

"And- uh, I-I should take my leave now, b-because I should really h-head back and ch-check up on them," he feels the bigger farmer start to take a few steps back, supposedly away from the crowd, "I'll answer any questions later!"

He has to push against the fabric to keep himself from bouncing around in the pocket as SquidKid starts running. He faintly hears the townspeople shout for the male, but it's muffled through the fabric.

As it starts to seem as if the squid hybrid would never stop running, they finally start to slow down, their breaths coming out labored and airy.

He doesn't speak up for a moment, letting the other regain themselves first. When they finally seem well enough, he speaks up,

"That's the best you can come up with?"

SQUIDKID RUNNING AWAY,,,, "ill answer any questions later" djhshhjhjhbhbfhdjhbe

*holds this gently* aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa i adore

[goosedawn]

Tiny farmer au: i’m trying to think of ways Techno could use strategies and sabotage like in the video. Perhaps the equivalent of getting people to visit and AFK Squid’s farm, could be luring the crows over to his farm? or at one point he could raise/train a rabbit to be a pet that he can ride to help him get around quicker when farming? those are the only two i’ve thought of so far. Any strategies/sabotage you can think of?

absolutely delighted by the idea of techno with a rabbit pet shgvdjhenbhgv,,, also funnily enough, bio anon also had the same thought of techno luring scarecrows to squids fields!

and as for some other ideas... i spent way too long figuring out how to draw a rabbit so im just going to list these djbjdjdjydhsgnd (plus some are a bit difficult to draw fbdjcbdb)

- techno gives the wrong directions to his farm, leading tourists to squids farm. they ask him if this is technos farm and he is forced to talk to them, losing out on valuable farming time

- eventually this leads to squid closing his farm to visitors, and in turn losing out on possible monetary gain that can be used for more/better farming equipment 😔

- everyone else who would go to squids farm ends up going to technos and they buy potatoes from him from his conveniently placed stand :]

- techno systematically pokes small holes in all of squids hoses and irrigation. not enough for it to be noticable but enough to cost squid

- letters start appearing on squids doorstep, addressed from his rival farmer. technos taunts absolutely destroy him.

- techno tracking squids sleep schedule and debating how likely sleep deprivation is to count as torture (he genuinely did that sir- are u ok)

(also thank u for giving me an excuse to rewatch the potato war series again its SO good)

I'VE MOVED TO A NEW BLOG :] come find me at @/vel/vet/wyr/me minus the slashes obviously lol this blog is SECRET i tell ya !!

{ goose/doozi // they/she // bi/ace }

hullo!!! welcome to my g/t sideblog! everything here is sfw, please dont tag my stuff as nsfw!

i draw silly doodles of varying quality, and i am full of affection for peoples work :] my art tag is #goosedrawn! i also tag silly extra doodles with #doodles

all non-content related chatter gets archived to @goosechats after a lil bit, to keep things tidy but to also keep an archive

REQUESTS: [CLOSED] working thru backlog <3 [ 11 asks in inbox])

[ my AUs and common tags are under the cut! ]

#selkies and scales: this au is centred around a seaside town that is host to an array of magical creatures such as selkies, mermaids and more! wilbur is a selkie who falls in love with the salmon mermaid he catches in his net.

[MASTERPOST] (coming soon)

#tiny friend au: even at his darkest moment, wilbur can't bear to leave the tiny fragment of himself behind. so, he smuggles him back to the realm of the living in his pocket. elsewhere, a station blooms with blue and yellow. (a series of comics that. ended up becoming an au i guess jhdkhdjbd) focused on recovery, angst and also ACTIVE RETALIATION AGAINST MR SOOTS REDDIT POSTS (/LH /LH /LH they are very cool but make me sad and thus i draw)

[MASTERPOST] (coming soon)

#last size au: (also tagged as grifb au) my take on a collaboratively created last life au where the amount of lives you have determines your size/height. boogeymen can shift to red-size in order to make kills, and players take on more inhuman characteristics the closer to red they get.

[masterpost coming soon aaaaaa]

#giant country: collab au with @/plant-gt-thought-box! (editing this post will link later) add info and link later

#tiny farmer au: just out on the edge of town is a potato field that stretches on for as far as the eye can see. people say it is tended to by the Ghost Farmer, but squidkid knows its just one really competitive borrower who goes by the name technoblade.

Scrolling through the Tiny Farmer Au again, and, HONK, do I wanna keep doing something for it. I just.. don’t have any ideas… hhhhfnbgnnnnckkk.. Anyways, this is a call for help; do you have any ideas for it? /nf/nf/nf/g

👀 potential wendy content?

(YO FARMER ANON if ur still here id like to open this question to you also!)

anyway in the meantime, depends on if you want ideas to do with before techno was found out, or after...

for before: what about some close calls techno had with squidkid before he made himself known? like. maybe when techno was scouting out squidkids farm, or almost getting caught? or smth abt techno delivering his letters to squidkid maybe?

and for after: what about their first meeting after techno wins the potato war? like. first PROPER meeting rhdjcbdj,,, or more about how they defeat dante... how DOES that happen

hope these are helpful or spark some ideas for u to work with :] even if u dont use these ideas im sure whatever you come up with itll be amazing!
