I am exceedingly curious on what you think of Michael my beloved. (Fun fact I spelled that zmicheal when I first tried to write this whoops)
zmicheal my beloved. 
Unironically I think he grows into an emo rich kid.
i know tubbo and ranboo are trying very hard, but all canon evidence points to them being accidental helicopter parents. simultaneously giving him everything they can think of while also over sheltering him out of fear of his safety.
and it’s understandable, given their background, that they do! they grow up with war and danger and so much loss, and that’s going to affect their priorities in raising a child! but just because they’re understandable... doesn’t mean they’ll be the best.
micheal is going to grow up in a mansion. a mansion that was specifically built on his behalf. because his fathers’ response to concerns about him not having “enough space” (meaning “time outside”) was responded with giving him a bigger space to not need to leave.
do they expand it, as he grows? do the rooms and trading halls grow so expansive they become a gated community in their own right? 
a walled city micheal will know by heart, and the question of whether or not his parents- tubbo “self defense nukes” underscore and ranboo “preparing to give a one year old child netherite armor” beloved will ever let him leave it without an escort.
foolish stops by often with his children. his parents would have told him about the god that built the house they stand in. micheal doesn't know if he loves foolish for giving him the room his parents wouldn't have been able to give him on their own, or hates him for making the rooms that are his entire life.
who are micheal’s friends? who would his fathers allow to be his friends?
his friends are the servants of the mansion, the runners of the trade hall, michelle in her rare visits, jr and finley when foolish comes over to maintain the mansion for the fuckmillionth time.
his parents tell him not to hang out with cousin fundy- he's a wild man, he's a criminal, he's a drunk, he's not invited, you know he almost threatened you when you were a baby. and that's precisely why he does hang out with him
fundy's not allowed, but he knows which one of micheal's windows to sneak into, and micheal gives fundy his allowance to go out and buy things micheal wants- the toys and knicknacks that are too dangerous, the food that isn't good enough to dare be sent to his table, the subpar clothes his parents wouldn't want him to be seen in because they want nothing but the very best for him.
i think ranboo and tubbo would try. i think they would try very hard. and that’s precisely where it could all go wrong.
