hello it's the main blog of the tubbassador au op and your tags on some of my posts were REALLY good. absolutely immaculate! would it be okay if i screenshotted them in a reblog (w credit) to perhaps add on to/reference at some point? i know some people prefer their tags to be private so it's not a big deal if you'd prefer not. either way they were excellent!! thank you for taking the time to write them and have a spectacular day :]
:O feel free to screenshot and use however u want! honestly my tags are very public domain so go wild, but thank u for asking first it’s really sweet of u

abt your tubassador au, how does hc handle the news of doomsday? bc surely if tubbo was meeting in hc while new l’manberg was going on then he would have to break the news?
Tubbo doesn't tell them. There's no reason to, in his mind. He had told them their alliance was with the Dream SMP, not specifically New L'Manburg. If he quit now he'd have no reasonable explanation as to why and besides, the Dream SMP still stands to gain significantly from a continued alliance with Hermitcraft. Lord knows they need the help more now than ever and frankly Tubbo is glad of having another project. He doesn't even miss his next meeting, the fourth so far.
The hermits notice that something happened, of course. For as much skin as the ill-fitting suit covers it's not enough to hide the new scars that decorate his face, his hands, his neck. Tubbo doesn't mention it, but they ask. He tells them that everything is fine. That they are the result of an unfortunate run-in with mobs when he was unprepared, and they carry on. They don't believe him, but they don't press. That's what counts.
So: the hermits don't know about the specifics of Doomsday. They won't until he starts to get more comfortable and let things slip until eventually it all comes out to Iskall after a quiet night spent resource grinding.
(Iskall is horrified. Angry on his behalf, too, but above all just sad. He is sad that this kid had to watch something he built be reduced to ash - the place he called home, the homes of all the people he loved, the people he governed. He is sad and angry and horrified Tubbo ever had to sit in that rubble, fearing for his life, helpless to make it stop.
But it's not about Iskall. It's about Tubbo and Tubbo doesn't need for him to be sad. So he just holds him and lets him talk about all the things he misses. The picture he paints is something so special; he wishes he could have seen it. Even if it were messy; just so he could fully understand what Tubbo loved so much.)

vaguely tubbassador au. thinking about fabric scarcity and how on the dsmp they probably didnt have like a TON of fabric so they were pretty good about wearing things for a long time or reusing stuff so when tubbo sees scar’s closet full of four season worth of costume changes his brain breaks. hes like how do you even WEAR all of this. why would you own this many outfits. and scar is just like you never know what might happen! tubbo in turn like what might happen???? a sudden and dire moth infestation?????? what.

Presenting to you, a new Tubbassador AU fic!:
let me give you a bandaid (it's your favorite color)
Gen | None | 1/1 | 3,030 words
Summary:
"Is - how are you doing this evening, Ambassador?" Scar asked, smiling, doing what he could to keep the worry from his voice. He really wanted to ask about the scars - make sure everything was okay, that Tubbo was safe - but he knew better than most that scars, especially in great numbers, rarely came from anything fun. He could just be trudging up a traumatic week with that question.
"I'm alright, sir, how are you?" The response was practiced, which they'd come to expect: a small smile and an even tone which gave no hint of what was going on inside Tubbo's head. It seemed a bit more stiff than usual, maybe. Maybe that was in Scar's head.
Or: In which Tubbo won't accept Doomsday as a good enough reason to miss his appointment on Hermitcraft and Scar notices something is wrong.

for the tubbassador au, I've just speed read all of the posts and I'm kinda brain rotting about it - specifically the hermits eventually meeting Michael thing.
Because tubbo isn't an open book, he likes to keep things unsaid - especially about himself. He know saying the wrong things may have everyone either terrified of him or babying him and he doesn't want any of that, so he keeps it to strictly official talk when he can.
Except one day, maybe the lmanburg cabinet has some kinda problem and Ranboo stays in to help them, and maybe tommy is kind of sick and can't take care of a child properly and Prime knows Tubbo doesn't fully trust anyone else on that goddamned smp, he has to take his child to work today.
And he shows up, baby carrier in the front with a sleepy little piglia inside (this is wayyy earlier than tubbo would usually wake him at) and as soon as someone looks at his he goes all defensive like
"sorry my husband was busy today, of this is too unprofessional i can just come back tomorrow and you can blame any delay on me"
cue hermits reactions because child??? child with a child?? and husband apparently????
hi so i LOVED this ask like a LOT and in trying to answer it I ended up just writing a whole ass fic.
you can read the fic here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/39398073
For fun some more background thoughts:
A lot of the Hermits haven’t been around children (actual living breathing children) in a really long time so it’s a bit of a learning curve for them. It doesn’t help that Michael is not a “normal” child - that is, human or hybrid. The situation as a whole is so strange that they have to make an active effort to not pry into it too much. (What occasions a barely-18-year-old to get married? to decide to adopt?? Was he ever able to be a kid himself?)
Iskall is the only Hermit who knew before Michael came to the server that Tubbo was married and had a kid because they spend a lot of time together, especially when Tubbo is having a hard time. (Iskall likes to drag him off to do some repetitive, grounding task and sometimes Tubbo will talk. Other times it’s just nice to be in quiet company. Tubbo doesn’t have nearly enough friends who he can just hang out with anymore.)
Michael is a big fan of Scar’s monocle and tries to take it from him multiple times. The monocle unfortunately won’t fit him  but sometimes Scar takes it off and lets him just hold it, which makes him happy enough. Michael also likes to play in / around the spokes of Scar’s wheelchair which - not so cleverly, in hindsight - are gold encrusted.
Mumbo in particular has a hard time getting his head around the idea that the kid ambassador has a kid. Like, it wasn’t too long ago Mumbo was that age and he couldn’t imagine being responsible for a child’s life now.

I think an interesting interaction would be with Mumbo, in like the tubbo ambassador au. Man is like all bumbling and fumbling but appreciates a good bout of chaos. Not to mention Mumbo is one of the longest Hermits and was the youngest to join (around 17! Small mustached man) so Mumbo might relate or such to being quite young in a server
Initially Tubbo likes Mumbo because he is familiar; his suit, brushed back hair, and his constant fumbling remind him a lot of the members of government (past and present) back home. Which, on it's own, isn't necessarily a good association to have. But Mumbo's appearance is familiar, an anchor in the early days on a server that is so full of color and built at such a scale that it quickly becomes dizzying if you're unused to it. He's as Tubbo expects someone to be in a political setting: he's nervous, he sits up straight, and he pays attention until he can't or doesn't want to. In a room of people dressed too casually to be discussing inter-server relations and clearly struggling to maintain a professional demeanor, it's comforting.
The next thing he comes to like about Mumbo is that in every other way he is completely unlike the men he initially reminded Tubbo of. Tubbo first notices when he's taken on his first server tour and they stop by Mumbo's base, which would be impossible to not gawk at it even if they didn't make a point to stop by. Mumbo is there, clearly frazzled at having the ambassador randomly stop by without giving any notice so he could tidy up (something that Tubbo tries to apologize for but that Scar shrugs off). It's a short tour, hardly going through all the base, but the way Mumbo lights up talking about what he's done is so striking. He talks with his hands, for one, and while Tubbo would hesitate to call him a wordsmith, his vision is clear.
There is no weight of obligation in his words, nor a sense of indulgent self-gratification; no condescension or feeling of manipulation either. There is only passion, even hidden behind stumbled-over words and awkward apologies for rambling. It reminds him more of the revolutionary days than anyone in the in the cabinet. It's nice. Tubbo likes it. Tubbo likes him.
Tubbo goes to him for redstone advice later, having decided he likes the way Mumbo talks. He's not the best teacher, probably, but it makes the learning fun.
(Mumbo does not like to think of himself as particularly younger than most of the Hermits, even if he knows he is. He has always felt like a respected equal. In the beginning it was intimidating because of course it was, being the youngest of one of the most well-respected servers you could get into - a server full of pioneers of his very craft. But Hermits help Hermits, and from the moment he joined he was treated as one. He was accomplished before he joined but it's the community of HC that helped him flourish.
Tubbo does not speak of equality when he speaks of home. He does not speak of helpful guiding hands.
Mumbo tries to keep the conversation light.)

Is there ever a visit from the hermits to the DSMP
Cause firstly, why only one side gets to visit the other's server and take a tour? And secondly, I'm pretty sure at least some of the hermits want to actually see with their own eyes wth is happening at the DSMP.
Or would Tubbo just deny the whole idea if it was ever presented, cause he doesn't want to lose one of, if not the only, chance that he has of an alliance?
- Life's anon
Tubbo thinks himself a bit stupid when he's blindsided by the request to visit the Dream SMP. In hindsight, it's obvious; he's come to visit them in honor of the alliance, it's only natural they'd want to return the favor and see what exactly they're getting themselves into. Especially with the things he's accidentally let slip - but in his defense, there was no way he'd have known that it was weird on HC to completely destroy someone's base for a joke. But whatever.
He'll just have to figure it out, because Tubbo can't think of anything more suspicious than denying them a visit. What excuse could he even use? "Sorry, our server is in the midst of extreme political turmoil and it's really stressing me out, you know how it is, do you think the visit could wait"? Or maybe, "there's a serious concern someone might harm you guys and I'm a bit afraid you'll be unprepared to deal with that"? Fuck no.
He does ask them to wait though, making up some bullshit about bureaucratic red tape, enough to buy him a week to prepare. It's spent trying and failing to get members of his cabinet to help him fill in creeper holes and tidy the pathways which is annoying because this whole alliance was pushed on him by them to begin with - least they could do is help make it work. He learns he's a lot better at landscaping than he thought though (this is not saying a lot).
It's not nearly enough to hide the scars the land bears but it's a start, at least. It's not like they'll want a whole server tour, right? Just a breeze through, see the town and stuff. Maybe the mess will be good, earn them sympathy or something. He can't even convince himself that that's a good angle.
Four Hermits are to visit: Scar and Bdubs, for diplomatic reasons, and Iskall and Grian, who just kind of wanted to. Tubbo is thankful they're at least people he's familiar with, but it's a double edged sword. He likes these people and bringing them to the Dream SMP is like having your best friend come over while the floor of your room isn't visible, but even worse. Everyone forgets to do laundry, not everyone has a fucking crater where their original country was.
They arrive. Tubbo picks at his hands the whole time, leading them around the route he'd laid out beforehand which he'd taken special care to make presentable. (Which really just meant planting flowers and hoping that would distract from how ugly everything felt in comparison to the Hermit's home server.)
Iskall makes a real effort to compliment things as genuinely as possible, pointing out buildings he thought were nice or plant beds that were particularly well cared for. His actions had the desired affect of easing Tubbo's visible anxiety slightly.
Bdubs whispers to Scar all his Building Hot Takes, often just a little too loud to be confidential. When it's obvious Tubbo's overheard he shouts out a compliment to whatever is in his field of vision, often pointing out something that nobody in their right mind would think is worthy of a compliment that loud. It's an effort!
Scar does his best to nod along and occasionally ask Normal Politician Questions. This eventually devolves into just trying to give compliments and asking about their building techniques in a way that probably sounds condescending but is a genuine attempt to meaningfully engage. He does compliment Tubbo's landscaping attempt though, a win in Tubbo's book. Scar offers to give him a few tips.
Grian is uncharacteristically quiet, just kind of taking it all in. He occasionally chimes in with a question or two.
It's impossible to avoid the crater, though. Tubbo expects it to be the breaking point, the thing that shifts the entire tone of the alliance if not shattering it completely but to his surprise Iskall comments that it's impressive, how after such complete destruction they managed to rebuild. The others concur. Tubbo makes an active effort to ignore any looks the Hermits share amongst themselves while they continue because that's good enough. He just wants it to be done.
The Hermits are shocked but also a bit impressed. The Dream SMP is nothing like the organized chaos of Hermitcraft but it has its own charm, in a way. The people they meet along the way are kind. They enjoy the sights, the few there are. It's clear Tubbo put in effort. The Hermits leave more resolute to contribute to the DSMP's success than before.

You know what would be great and awful? Tommy’s been doing his own thing for so long & only talking to like, Phil and Wilbur, who wouldn’t tell him, so he has no idea Tubbo’s doing ambassador stuff on another server until a while after Tubbo’s left.
Tommy: Why didn’t he tell me???
Ghostboo: Idk man, probably because you haven’t spoken with him since literally before I died. Kinda dropped the ball there, didn’t you? I mean geez, no wonder he wanted to leave, haha.
(Meanwhile, Tubbo: man, Tommy would find this so cool, oh Tommy would annoy the shit out of these people it would be hilarious, Tommy would totally have laughed at that joke-)
Tubbo DID tell Tommy about his whole ambassador thing, but in truth he wasn’t listening that closely. It sounded like a load of boring political shit from how it was described, having to talk about “trade” and “resources” and whatever the fuck you do when you go to someone else’s server to make an “alliance.” The benefits did sound nice. He won’t lie about that. But mostly he was glad he wouldn’t be the one having to talk to a bunch of politicians with sticks up their ass about the economy.
He forgets. About the ambassador thing, and about Tubbo. In his defense he was a bit preoccupied.
A lot of the Hermits, meanwhile, know about Tommy. Once the formality of Tubbo’s presence on Hermitcraft frays, he starts voicing all those Tommy-related thoughts. He’d love that stream right there, with all the flowers, or he’s always really liked cows, he’d love that shop. 
Tubbo brings Moo-pop back for him only to realize that he isn’t even sure where to find him anymore. The pop goes bad. 
I really like the idea of Ghostboo updating Tommy on all this. Like at that point it’s been a year or more since the arrangement has begun and it’s all but fallen off Tommy’s radar, and then very helpfully his bestie’s dead husband starts rambling about that server Tubbo spends so much time on.
“More time recently than usual.” Boo adds thoughtlessly. “With MIchael, sometimes, too.”
Boo tells him the little that Ranboo knew: about the scale of it all, the wealth of kindness, the way Tubbo always seemed a bit more bright when he returned. Of the treasures he’d always come back with and gifts with no one to give them too. And, notably, their lax attitude towards security.
That’s when Tommy decides it’d simply be irresponsible for him to not investigate.

Keep thinking of the tubbassador AU mixed with a pre-dsmp hermit tommy au and like the hell that would bring.
Like if that hypothetically happened, I think it'd be hilarious tubbo bringing tommy with him to the hc server and hoping nothing goes wrong and witnessing the spectacle of tommy just casually catching up with all these cool people on hc like he's known them years (read: grew up around them)
The 1am thoughts really bring something
ok this is Obviously non-canon to the AU HOWEVER… this is a very fun idea
The very first stage is disbelief. Tubbo thinks Tommy must be doing some kind of bit, pretending he knows these people, until the Hermits talk right back with the same fondness. It doesn't seem very like Tommy at all to stand around and catch up, and there's a certain dissonance there watching it happen. He's still himself: loud and vibrant and cutting off his conversation partner a little more than is usually deemed appropriate, but he's somehow keeping pace with them. Nobody even looks disgruntled at his turn of phrase, which Tubbo had made his peace with happening.
It's clear they know each other. There's no other explanation for the familiarity, but when the absolute fuck did Tommy meet the Hermits?
His first and well, only guess was MCC. But that didn't line up, not just because Tubbo had never seen him teamed with any of these people but some of them weren't ever in MCC.
And why the fuck had this never come up? The Hermits aren't some secret. Not quite celebrities but definitely public figures and Tommy had never gloated about knowing them?
It's like he's wandered into a carnival attraction that turns the world all topsy turvy.
But hey! Nothing's on fire. That's…something.
To be honest it'd have been more comforting if Tommy had set fire to the barge.
It's Scar who thoughtlessly fills Tubbo in on Tommy's relationship with the Hermits. Grew up there, apparently. Known him since he was just a little kid. Which…sounds fake as fuck. Honestly. But Scar has no incentive to lie and it makes enough sense and hoenstly Tubbo is just kind of exhausted by this turn of events so sure, yeah. Okay.
Did this mean Wilbur knew the Hermits as well? Did Phil? Techno?
Tommy's a little insulted that Tubbo didn't tell him he had a way out of the server earlier. Which, to be fair, Tubbo didn't even know he'd have had somewhere he wanted to go!
It's also an unexpected relief, in a way. That these two worlds of his meld together so nicely, even if Tubbo wishes he'd been clued in a bit earlier.

Hello!
The last post in the tubbassador au was scar and bdubs wondering how micheal can hold a pen and now I’m wondering too. Does he have little gloves that have a slot for the pen? Does he hold it in his mouth?
Michael uses a lot of methods, the most common of which is holding the pen with two hands. He's also tried out his mouth, his feet, holding the pen in the crook of his elbow, and tape. None work quite as well as just using both hands so that's what he does most of the time.
Sometimes, though, he'll forgo a pen or pencil entirely and just dip his little hooves in paint. This works incredibly well except for the fact that he forgets that paint is on his hooves and touches things. (A few times, he's forgottten where the open pot was and gotten himself covered, too.)
In related news, Tubbo is brainstorming some kind of glove or prosthetic Michael could use to make utensils easier.
Despite this obstacle, Michael still really loves to make art and practices a lot. He can only get so good, though, due to a combination of a) being a child, b) the lingering effects of the rot, and c) Not Having Thumbs. Due to these challenges anything Michael tries to write is illegible, so Tubbo will write messages down for him when it needs to be read by someone else. It just so happens that Tubbo's handwriting is so bad most people don't clock on to this.

Ok im partly through Mumbo 's episode and just. Thinking about Tubbo's reaction to Doc's worldeater. somewhere between incredibly impressed (bc the kid HAS been trying to make nukes) and abject horror (bc Doomsday flashbacks)
It would have to be explained to Tubbo why Doc would even build one of those on a server as peaceful as HC. Like don't get me wrong he definitely sees a world eater's usefulness because it's pretty much just a weapon of mass destruction and Tubbo has a few of those himself. But like, they don't do wars on HC like they do on DSMP. Either way, were it not for the fact he already figured out how to build nuclear bombs on his own Tubbo might ask Doc to give him the blueprints or whatever. (Maybe he would ask anyway.)
But digging a really big fucking hole really fast is pretty sick too. It's oddly satisfying to watch in a way he didn't really expect: just a simple, repetitive motion with a sound to match, neatly contained within its perimeter. It's terrifying, but it's also kind of beautiful. And mostly safe! Which is nice. He likes not getting exploded, generally.
Sidenote: Tubbo and Doc would talk bombs together. Tubbo's proud of what he's figured out on his own and it would be nice to share that with someone who would understand what he's talking about when he explains the process of building the nukes. Plus Doc has some wicked (as in, awesome and also evil) advice to contribute too.

ok so for the tubbassador AU. if HC decided to send an ambassador of their own to the DSMP as a result (just to make things less one-sided), who do you imagine it would be?
Hermitcraft does suggest they send an ambassador of their own but Tubbo dismisses the idea immediately and with such force that they don't try it again. It's such a strangely violent reaction coming from a kid who, otherwise, is very professional and polite: eyes wide with something like panic, his voice raised slightly, spouting out excuses about accommodations or what have you in as appropriate a tone he can manage. It's just very weird. They have no choice but to let it go with how early in the relationship it is. Push too hard and something might break.
However, for fun, the candidates for a Hermit Ambassador would include: (no particular order)
1: False. She was the first to raise the alarm and possesses the PvP skills necessary to defend herself should she need to, seeing as it's becoming more and more clear that something is seriously fucked about the DSMP, relatively speaking. She also is pretty good at getting along with unfamiliar faces.
2: Cub. He would be somewhat familiar to MCC-attending server members and is pretty unassuming. He's got experience blending in and generally laying low and while he's not a spy per say who knows when that could come in handy. He also has a myriad of skill which, if all goes well, could be employed to help improve the DSMP.
3: Bdubs. Second hand to the mayor and also very unassuming! He's just a silly little guy on the face of it but can be professional enough when need be. He would not want to do it though.
4: Grian. He's mostly considered because of the weird shit going on with the veil around the Dream SMP and how even he could not see past it, watcher thing and all be damned. He's very friendly and playful enough to hopefully lower the guards of the right people to see what's up. He would quickly decide the DSMP is not for him if he went.

Hello again! Some more questions, Does tubbo talk about xisuma to the rest of the dsmp? Did Tommy meet him when they visited? Must be a culture(?) shock. Thank you!
Tubbo is forthcoming, initially, with information about Hermitcraft to his cabinet members, but he never goes into much detail about it. They know that the DSMP scored one hell of a deal, and that’s mostly it.
He talks to Ranboo about it, a bit. Just because Xisuma as a concept is so hard for him to wrap his head around - an admin being good, when they hold so much power and have absolutely no reason to be good. It’s a bit crazy to think about and just makes Tubbo kind of mad, madder at Dream than before. Xisuma being good means that Dream didn’t need to be bad. It was a choice. Not that Tubbo was unaware of this; it’s just another nail in the coffin of Dream’s character.
Tommy runs into Xisuma very briefly and instantly recognizes him from how Tubbo had described him in his little “don’t fuck this up please” debrief. He kinda doesn’t buy the whole Xisuma-Is-Nice-Actually thing initially because his mask is awful off putting and he’s a pretty broad dude too. Like, could definitely kick ass if he wanted to and Tommy fancies himself pretty strong but the odds aren’t good. His body armor probably makes him even stronger! Tommy’s concerns melt away pretty quick after Xisuma opens his mouth and he sounds like the most polite mfer you’ve ever heard.
