#my sib said they might change into the other nein’s skins to help me so there’s that ig

[casukaga]

I love your art and ur MC AU, I desperately need to see what fjeth is doing

a compilation of veth sneakily following fjord around wherever he is with her crossbow at the ready—

imagine this: fjord makes it to the end, but he spawns off of the mainland that has the pillars and endermen, so he’s gotta build a cobblestone path to get there. but just before he makes it, veth shoots him with her crossbow in a sneak attack and fjord falls into the void 🥴

hjGJDND but legit thank you!!

(if anyone wants to suggest some ideas for the au with how some of the nein are interacting in minecraft,,, i am all ears)

now here’s me being obligatorily ramble-y about the au:

the thing about this au is that i need at least one other person to help me if i wanted to have multiple of the nein playing / interacting together. i was able to get away with that first post because i had beau, yasha, and jes be separated, but implied that they’re in the same world. so i only had to change my inventory.

but in the future i kinda want them to be interacting more? like actually see the other characters’ minecraft skins. (watch me slide onto my social media like “heyyyyyy........anyone out there willing to change their minecraft skin and maybe username to help me grab screenshots for my mighty nein streamer au—“)

though i do have a molly and beau one upcoming! fortunately my sibling already had a molly/lucien related mc name before i made that au AND a molly skin, so i asked them to help me grab a few screenshots for it.

#asking other people online tho who i prob don’t know to help me seems like a hassle hjgJDKFN #there’s also the minecraft thing where you can only change your user once in 30 days or smth like that so if ur helping me by changing ur #name too i hope ur fine with that hjGDJDN #but eh — i don’t rlly expect anyone to help me with it - seems like too much work #also communication. which takes a lot of brainpower to keep up. #my sib said they might change into the other nein’s skins to help me so there’s that ig? #but i still gotta edit my username to something else in the screenshots they sent me of my beau skin so that’s gonna take some time. sigh. #idk if this is coherent i’m word vomiting lolol #casu asks #streamer au #( i ​still don’t know if i’m making it JUST for them playing minecraft or other games? the thing is i don’t rlly have other games on my comp #aside from minecraft. child of light. ori and the blind forest. and among us. #) #mc seems like the most interesting one to do for a stream. (i love the other games but i feel like they wouldn’t be as interesting for #art.) there IS among us but that also requires me editing names and etc. so......shrugs. #yeah.

Five Soda Maximum (High School AU) pt 10

(need to catch up?)

“You are sure it is okay?”

Fjord grins at him. “We like the Moondrop kids,” he says. “I’m more surprised than anything else. They mostly just hang out with each other... doesn’t mean we wouldn’t be happy to have ‘em hang out with us.”

“Ja. Um. Moondrop?”

“The street they live on,” Fjord says, and laughs. “Weren’t payin’ much attention when you were drivin’ over?”

Caleb feels his face heat a little, and Fjord gives him a friendly punch in the arm. “Well,” Caleb says, looking around the hallway a moment before leaning in. “You are one to talk, with-”

“Shut up,” Fjord says quickly, pulling the collar of his beholder t-shirt up until his face is half hidden. Muffled, “I never shoulda told you.”

“I will not tell,” Caleb reassures him.

“I know you won’t. Just.” Fjord’s cheeks are tinged dark green. “You know how she is.”

“Sweet?”

“Fancy.” Fjord lets go of his shirt and huffs out a sigh. “She’s always swoonin’ over, you know, slick guys with hair gel, and skin routines, and...”

“Metrosexuals!” Caleb interjects excitedly, a little too loudly. A half-elf boy shoots him a weird look as they turn the corner.

Fjord chuckles.

“I just learned that one,” Caleb mutters, embarrassed. “I have not been able to use it yet.”

“Perfect usage. A plus.”

**

Jester leans in, tail swishing a bit in the grass at she stares at Molly’s face. “Can I ask you a personal question?”

Molly blinks. “...sure?”

“Do you use an eyebrow pencil?”

Molly grins shyly as Fjord and Beau roll their eyes. “A little?” he says.

“It looks so good,” Jester enthuses, clapping excitedly. “I love when boys do their brows. I love it. You do yours so well! Do you do them? Does Yasha do them? Yasha doesn’t do them.”

Molly laughs and shakes his head. “I do them. The twins got me some fancy stuff for my birthday... I think the brand is like Beverly Hills?”

“Anastasia Beverly Hills,” Jester says immediately. “Good brand. Good pencils.” She beams and turns to Caleb. “He’s good,” she says approvingly, and leans back again to start in on her salad.

“Well,” Caleb says, clearing his throat, “now I will get to the second half of his introduction, I guess, which is: his last name is Tealeaf.”

“Jester kinda jumped in on ya, huh.” Fjord gives Jester a look.

“I noticed really really suddenly,” Jester says unapologetically. “He’s stylish!”

“I think I might get tattoos someday,” Molly says, dropping into a cross-legged position on the grass as Caleb takes his bag off his shoulder and adds it to the pile. “But I only want to get them if they’re the really amazing kind? Does that make sense?”

“Yes,” Beau enthuses, lighting up. “Like those geometric ones, or the white ones? Do the white ones work on your skin?”

“They’d probably disappear on me faster than on light-skinned humans,” Molly grouses, frowning at the back of his forearm. “But I want something really colorful, anyway.”

“Yeah, that makes sense.”

Caleb starts opening his lunch bag, looking over. “Do you think, um, a little one, or a lot of little ones, or a big one...?”

“I kinda want a whole...” Molly grins bashfully and gestures his hand over his whole body.

“Like a Yakuza,” Fjord supplies. Molly’s red eyes light up.

“Yeah! Except I don’t want to get banned from hot springs.”

Fjord laughs. “I see tattoos all the time at the docks... trust me, the best advice I can give is to spend good money to get good art. I’ve seen enough pin-up girls going like...” He puts his shake down and sits up straighter, putting his hands behind his head and tucking his feet together, then distorting it at last minute by crossing his eyes and sticking a leg out at a weird angle. Jester snorts loudly and Nott tips over.

“Beautiful,” Jester gasps.

Molly leans in, super seriously: “Fjord, are you a model?”

**

Nott asks Beau about the debate team, and that starts an epic and extremely entertaining rant that could go on indefinitely.

Caleb is setting his water bottle back down when he feels something nudge against his back - he frowns and turns, surprised to find it’s a lavender tail that’s very inconspicuously brushing against his ribs. He watches it a moment, the lazy little pattern it seems to be waving in, before peeking at Molly and discovering that Molly is just... listening to Beau, grinning, happy. He seems to notice Caleb looking at him, though, because the tail curls away rests on the grass.

“It is okay,” Caleb mumbles under his breath, when Fjord interrupts Beau to remind her that invitations to ‘take it outside’ will probably get her disqualified.

Molly doesn’t say anything, but his ear flicks out a moment and a few seconds later, Caleb feels a faint pressure on his back, like someone brushing their hand between his shoulder blades. He smiles down at his sneakers.

While waiting for History to start, Fjord snorts at his phone and leans over to Caleb’s desk, holding it out for him to see.

Me: yeah i guess

Nott: no, he’s allowed two after school hangouts a month not including (robot emoji) classes

Beau (pink skin woman facepalm): jeez his parents are the WORST

Me: comin from you...

Jester (shortcake): MORE LUNCH DATES THEN

Jester (shortcake): AND HIS SIBS!!!! (devil emoji) (two girls emoji)

Beau (pink skin woman facepalm): stop it

Me: sounds like a plan

Beau (pink skin woman facepalm): fuck you f don’t join her

Caleb giggles. “May I borrow your phone, please.”

Fjord smirks and sets his phone down on the desk.

Me: This is Caleb. Yasha seems very nice. We should ask her to eat with us.

Beau (pink skin woman facepalm): This is Beau. Fuck You

**

“I’m not... great with computers,” Yasha admits, opening her laptop as she sits down. “Can I pick your brains while we eat?”

“Yeah, of course.” Beau shrugs casually. “We like, do study groups together a lot, you know, research... reading... studying. Stuff.”

Yasha nods and tilts her screen toward Beau, who leans in and starts reading something. “I’ve got this paper about the cryptocurrency bubble, and I understand the financial part, but, um, a lot of the technical details...”

Nott leans over Yasha’s other side and frowns. “LTC?”

“Litecoin,” Caleb mumbles, breaking a few grapes off of the stems and popping them into his mouth.

“Oh.” Beau scans the page further. “XMR sounds like... a file extension...”

“Monero,” Caleb says, blushing a little as people turn to look at him. “They are both. Cryptocurrencies.”

“I thought that was what Bitcoin was.” Fjord frowns.

“It is one of them.” Caleb swallows and shrugs nervously. “It is just. Nerd stuff.”

“I thought XMR was a programming language.” Molly frowns.

Caleb chews a few grapes and snaps his fingers. “You are, um, thinking of XML.”

Yasha eases her laptop and holds it across the circle to Caleb, who takes it. “Can you help me translate some of this? I’ve only gotta write three or four pages.”

“S-sure,” Caleb says, trying to ignore the burning stare of Beau behind her.

Me: Hello! I have made a new group chat! Because now I have a real phone number and a real phone!

Jester (lollipop emoji): CONGRATULATIONS CALEBBBBBBBBB (balloon emoji) (balloon emoji)

Nott (green skin fist): (green skin waving emoji)

Fjord (notebook): (green skin waving emoji)

Nott (green skin fist): haha we match

Fjord (notebook): were practically twins

Beau sends a screenshot of the new group chat, revealing that Caleb’s name is followed by a pager emoji.

Me: Fuck off it is not that old

Beau (collision symbol): it is a BURNER PHONE and you are a DRUG DEALER

Jester (lollipop emoji): BE NICE BEAU

**

Me: Hi Molly. This is Caleb.

Molly: WHAT

Me: (pink skin waving emoji)

Molly: you said end of semester

Molly: I DISTINCTLY remember

Me: The store had a very good deal and so my dad bought early.

Molly: I’m freaking out

Me: Is this bad?

Me: You mean happy I think

Molly: I do! We can talk whenever we want now

Molly: Are they going to read your texts? Are they those parents?

Me: I have already jailbreaked the phone, I made many changes, it is not a problem

Molly: Did you use cryptocurrency to to break it open

Me: You do not use money to jailbreak a phone

Molly: I’m just teasing.

Molly: Can your old drug lord burner phone get pictures?

Caleb turns beet red and pulls his comforter over his head.

**

Nott sends Caleb a picture of Frumpkin on top of a cage, slightly blurry.

Nott (green skin fist): He got really chatty when he saw me and then I think he realized you weren’t with me and now he’s PISSED

Me: Really???

Nott (green skin fist): idk if he’s really pissed but I really think he looked for you once he saw me

Me: I love him

Nott (green skin fist): (cat heart eyes emoji)

Me: Please send more pictures

In the first after school Robotics class, Caleb more or less hides behind Fjord while the teacher explains how LEGO Mindstorm works and what programming languages they’re going to be using.

“You’ll pick everything up,” Fjord murmurs under his breath, so the other students can’t hear. “You’re gonna be fine.”

“Nein, I already understand how to do this,” Caleb mumbles. “I just. Wanted to mess around with it and make friends.”

Fjord turns around and squints at him. “And how’re you gonna do that from behind me?”

Caleb smiles awkwardly. “Um. I will come out soon.”

“There’s brand new kids! From the school across town!” Fjord nudges his chin toward a shy looking half elf girl whose right arm is in a green cast. “She looks weird! Go sit with her.”

“You think so?”

Fjord snorts and pushes off of the table he was leaning against, waving to a random human and sitting down next to him. Caleb, now alone, looks around at the paired tables and feels himself start to sweat. The girl notices and looks around too, lifting her (right) arm to wave and wincing when it starts to pull. “Ow! Jeez. Um. Do you want to sit here?”
