“…have mercy.”

G/t Concept: Borrower Apocalypse

Borrowers are revealed to the entire world. Everyone, everywhere suddenly knows about them.

There are a lot more than the Humans expected.

A cheap, reliable "Borrower Detector" hits the market almost overnight.

In less than a month about 80% of domestic Borrowers have been found by homeowners, completely at their mercy.

Now, a decade later, The species has been scattered to the winds...

Borrowers got their rights far too late. And they're nothing but empty words on a piece of paper.

Kidnapping a Borrower is laughably easy. Anyone can do it. And the police response is mostly dependent on whether or not they gave a shit. The laws are basically unenforced.

So, half the species has fucked off into the wilderness, and the other half takes their chances with Humans. As 'equals', as pets, or as one of the lucky few who were able to stay hidden.

The Humans live another day in a changed world.

But Borrowers? Their 'world' ended a long time ago…

Basically: What if Humans suddenly gained an ability / technology that makes it impossible for Borrowers to hide? And what if they all get found at the same time with no real warning?

(Also trying a new format here. Less fluff / theatrics. I'm hoping a simple bullet-pointed list will make the concept more adaptable and open-ended. Please let me know your thoughts)

“…oof, haven’t updated this in so long. Anyway, hi- I’m still alive, as you might have guessed. Been busy with life stuff- you know, trying to avoid being Seen and the like. The humans that lived upstairs moved out, so it’s been quiet. Though it might not be for long- I saw a couple being shown the apartment, and they mentioned they had a kid… might need to move out soon myself.”

[theborrowerkarmal]

hey! if you are an adult in the g/t community could you reblog or interact with this post? i’d just like it to be easier for us to find each other

[theborrowerkarmal]

Please reblog if YES so your followers will know!

Hi 👋, My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔

I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $60,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future.

Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶

If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏

Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤️‍🩹

“Oof, yeah. I know the feeling. My folks passed away years back, and I’ve been wandering on my own for a bit.” Karmal went quiet. “Do you ever miss them?”

“Eh, I’m used to it.” Karmal did crawl up onto Tucker’s hand, though, relishing the warmth that came with it. “So, mind telling me more about yourselves?”

[theborrowerkarmal]

It's my 1 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

“Huh, time flies…”

[theborrowerkarmal]

“Eh, I’m used to it.” Karmal did crawl up onto Tucker’s hand, though, relishing the warmth that came with it. “So, mind telling me more about yourselves?”

Karmal did admit it was a bit off-putting- though he wasn’t about to go saying that. “I can understand that. You humans call that… albinism, right?” He sat down himself, allowing the bandanna to cover his body more.

[theborrowerkarmal]

“Uhhh… yeah, I’m good.” This human seemed about Karmal’s age, maybe a year younger. The boy relaxed a bit more. “Thanks for asking, though- it’s been a while since people considered my feelings.” About seven years, he thought to himself.

Karmal did admit it was a bit off-putting- though he wasn’t about to go saying that. “I can understand that. You humans call that… albinism, right?” He sat down himself, allowing the bandanna to cover his body more.

Karmal did admit it was a bit off-putting- though he wasn’t about to go saying that. “I can understand that. You humans call that… albinism, right?” He sat down himself, allowing the bandanna to cover his body more.

Karmal blinked. She was… letting him go? This wasn’t on the list of things to watch out for. He sighed. “It’s no big deal- I kinda liked being up so high. It’s like one of your human rollercoasters. Besides, your hands were pretty warm,” he admitted. “Usually I’m near-frigid with my lack of layers.”

[theborrowerkarmal]

Baydrake was unsure how to proceed. Sure, he was much larger than humans. By a lot. But this? This was insane. This guy was TINY. Silver eyes blinked rapidly. How the hell was he supposed to do about this... His speaker collar flickered to life as he 'spoke' through it, tone and volume matching what he wanted to say. "Hey... I-I won't hurt you but... Why the hell are you so small???"

Karmal was frozen to the spot- there was some sort of huge- and he meant HUGE- creature looking down at him. And apparently it wanted answers. His mind raced as he tried to figure out how to respond. Surprisingly to no one, sass won out.

“I dunno- why the hell are you so big?”

[theborrowerkarmal]

Well. This was certainly different. “Uh, yeah, I suppose so.” Karmal fiddled with the bandanna, as if it were a blanket surrounding him. “Skylie, was it? How come you’re so calm about this? Usually most humans would either scream, faint, or try catching me.”

Karmal blinked. She was… letting him go? This wasn’t on the list of things to watch out for. He sighed. “It’s no big deal- I kinda liked being up so high. It’s like one of your human rollercoasters. Besides, your hands were pretty warm,” he admitted. “Usually I’m near-frigid with my lack of layers.”

“No, I just left my pin in my room. And Karmal, if you must know.” The teen sat down with a huff- guess he wasn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

[theborrowerkarmal]

“Eh, not really- you’d probably catch me again if I ran away. So, what name are you giving me now? Pookie? Nugget? Tinytoes?” The boy fully expected the larger person to force him into becoming her pet- at least, that’s what most humans he heard about did to borrowers.

“No, I just left my pin in my room. And Karmal, if you must know.” The teen sat down with a huff- guess he wasn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Skylie hadn't been expecting this. A very, very tiny person. She didn't want to scare him, even though she really wanted a better look. The child kept back, sitting down to try and look smaller and less threatening. "Hi." she said softly.

“…”

“…if you value your fingertips, I suggest you step away.” Strong words coming from a kid that is barely taller than a crayon.
