Creep Minecraft World

I've mentioned before how they have a Minecraft world they all play on, and I wanted to actually just randomly talk about it :p

At least several times a month, they all get together to play on their Minecraft world together. Sometimes a few people might be missing or absent, but they try to have as many people playing at a time as they can. Things I've already established, BEN is the one who builds cool houses for everyone (I'm adding on that they're all set up like a villager village, so they're all connected by paths and near each other like a housing development), Jeff helps people the most with mining, and Toby and Sally are both working together to make a zoo for all of the animals they come across with nice surroundings so they can all be happy in there. Now, back to my expanding on it.

I think that they all probably split into groups on who does what, and some people will just tag in whenever they want to. BEN, Liu, Helen, and Brian are the designated builders of the world. They're really good at building and have an eye for making pretty designs, so generally, that's what they spend their time doing. Jeff, Natalie, Kate, and Tim are the designated miners in the world. They had built like a whole mining system and are constantly expanding it to collect more and more materials together. Both groups work together to help each other out, and the rest of the creeps are free to join a team if they'd like to so that they can help out more, but they usually just follow the instructions of the established team members. Toby and Sally as I said earlier are committed to building a zoo, and they name every single animal that they put in there. Sometimes others will help with building or getting animals in there (they have also been allowed to use creative mode to get animals or build something if they need to), and it's situated near the housing area so that everyone can just walk over and look at the progress when they want to. Generally, they all work really well together in their teams, but sometimes they do have disagreements.

Speaking of disagreements, one of the world rules is that keep inventory has to be on, mostly because there was a point when they kept going around killing each other and then they'd get mad because they'd lose their stuff, and fights would happen, so keep inventory has to be on so that now if they die or kill each other, nobody can be upset. (That started because Jeff and Tim would push each other into lava whenever they were in the mines and disagreed on something). They haven't even gotten very far into the Nether yet because they all keep dying or killing each other. Also, nobody is allowed to alter or destroy anything that someone else has made (even if they think it looks really bad and they want to change it to make it look better, cough cough, Helen, cough cough) so that everyone can have their own little area that they build in and they don't have to worry about the safety of the work. I think they also all have an "open chest" policy where they each have one chest with a sign above it that says open, so that if someone is missing or really needs certain supplies they can take from someone else's open chest that has extra stuff they don't really need in it. I'd like to think they also go on like planned attack expeditions, like if they find an area that has a warden they'll all team up to try to fight the warden together (they rarely succeed because everyone is just screaming and yelling and running and laughing), or they'll all fight the ender dragon together, or a wither. Also??? So many mods. BEN has added so many mods to the world and he and everyone else get so much enjoyment out of it. It can be chaotic sometimes, but the Minecraft world is one of the few things everyone can actually usually get along with about, so it's a good bonding experience for them.

If the ninjas play Minecraft what do you think they're roles would be☺

oooo okay this is an interresting question. First i think they play modded MC specifically farmers delight, which introduces a ton more crops and cooking recipies and createmod, which introduces a bunch more industrial machines.

Cole farms and cooks for the team and he gets REALLY into it. he catches jay eating raw chicken and immediately starts attacking him. How dare you squander all his hard work. go eat beef stew NOW. he also likes to go fishing and take care of the bees they have

Kai builds the houses, sets up the villager trading hall, makes a garden and a zoo, etc. anything that's like decorative he ends up doing. Jay places torches in some fucked up messy pattern and kais like STOP. I MADE LANTERNS THESE TORCHES ARE UGLY!!!!!!!!!!

Zane mines and his mines are actually insane. like he mines out entire chunks all the way down to bed rock. just absolutely massive uniform pits. Jay offers to build him machines in create mod to help him mine but hes like no, i like doing it this way. it's relaxing. He takes care of all of the animals in kai's zoo and coles farms. He also makes Kai rebuild the villager trading hall to be kinder to the villagers lol- no one block stalls.

Lloyd fucks off completely and just explores. he'll drop coordinates into the chat of important structures he finds like underwater monuments, villages, different biomes, and the stronghold if he finds it. he makes them turn keepinventory on so whenever he's 1million blocks away and wants to come back to the base he just jumps off a cliff and revives back home. he has 17 different horses tamed

Nya and Jay are basically the only ones who actually do any of the big stuff. They go to the nether and get netherite, they enchant all the items, they do all the villager trading, they defeat the ender dragon and bring everyone elytras. any 'progress' in the game is all them. they have an underground bunker in one of zanes mining pits where they put all the createmod stuff

Before Kai built all the houses he designates plots to all the others to give them the opportunity to make their own. Coles make a cute little farm house. Zanes is a very simple wood square with all the different kinds of flowers planted in the front. Nyas is a dirt hut. jay just has his bed and 12 chests in the middle of an open field. lloyd just sleeps in others popels houses and uses any available chest to put stuff in. Kai goes back and makes them all better houses because they're really ruining the aesthetic he's curating

saw @athina-blaine's ask abt a labru gamer AU so let me present my split second dunmeshi minecraft server thoughts

• thistle: created the server. Refuses to budge on the rules he put in place on day one, except for like 2 notable exceptions. Barely plays but always memorable when he does, builds the weirdest shit and then logs off for months at a time

• delgal: notable exception #1, he asked thistle to make it normal survival mode instead of hardcore bc it was too high stress. used to play very frequently until he got a new PC and moved on to other games. thistle has forbidden the other players from destroying the castle he made

• senshi: has taken it upon himself to do all of the farming and cooking in the game, has figured out the best ways to make the most efficient farms, is wildly talented w redstone but only in terms of making it easier to grow crops and breed friendly mobs. eagerly awaits new food recipes with each update

• laios: has made it his personal goal to capture each of the hostile mobs and keep it in his base as a personal monster showcase. Goes on hour-long mining excursions to fortify his base because the blazes and ghasts keep destroying their enclosures. Wants to find an ender portal but just to get shulker boxes, determined to figure out how to defeat the ender dragon without killing it

• falin: notable exception #2, she asked thistle to turn on keep inventory because she kept exploring and getting too lost but she didn't want to die and lose all of her stuff. has heard stories about the limits of the world borders and the farlands and is determined to find them. Good at avoiding hostile mobs but not at keeping herself alive so she tends to die from starvation or falls, senshi's most frequent visitor when she stocks up for her next excursion

• chilchuck: started playing to understand the game better when his daughters got into it, now it's developed into a guilty pleasure. The one who supplies the rest of the gang with materials as needed, loves the grind of collecting a billion stacks of cobblestone and dirt. Goes to the end w laios just to collect endstone, same w the nether. Also responsible for keeping the chests meticulously organized, he gives everyone hell if they mess up his system

• marcille: not usually one for survival games but got hooked when falin showed her the redstone systems and potion making. Has made a machine for everything she possibly could, is currently figuring out a fast travel system in the nether so falin can go further than she normally can in the overworld. Relies on chilchuck to fund all of her projects bc she's deathly afraid of mining and getting blown up by creepers. Goes to the end w laios to see if she can expand on the teleportation mechanics of ender pearls (is very disappointed when she can't)

• kabru: joined at laios's request, secretly hated minecraft and preferred the sims but still plays because he found out that you can make your own collection of villagers to trade with and consequently became obsessed. Didn't know about the pillagers and almost rage quit when they killed his villagers and destroyed his progress while laios just tried to catch the ravager to add to his monster zoo. Now recruits laios whenever pillagers show up bc he doesn't want to deal with the raids

• izutsumi: banned for griefing when she lured a creeper into a wing of delgal's castle where she'd put a bunch of tnt

ft. lucy pevensie, edmund pevensie, susan pevensie, peter pevensie (seperate) x gn! reader — the chronicles of narnia

╰₊✧ playing minecraft with the pevensie siblings┊1.5k words

setting: modern au, no mentions of narnia contains: fluff & crack, modern alternate universe, they are children in the image but ages are unspecified (so it could be romantic or platonic), mentions of in-game player & pet deaths,

➤ author's note: i had a dream that peter died in my arms while we were playing minecraft and decided to write cute headcanons when i woke up like a loser

━━━ .°˖✧ lucy pevensie ˚₊ ⊹

╰₊✧ favorite biome - cherry grove, favorite mob - frogs, favorite flower - lily of the valley, favorite wood - birch, favorite block - moss

╰₊✧ she takes her time when it comes to completing the game and may take forever to get to the end dimension, prefering to play on peaceful mode so that she can focus on exploring and creating with keep inventory on since she doesn’t want to stress out about playing, enjoying everything it has to offer and will continuously pause on making progress to admire the scenery (but sometimes she turns it on easy mode to give her a little challenge when caving). oddly enough, even if the difficulty was on hard mode, she never seems to encounter any hostile mobs and they all decide to attack you instead while mining. it’s not an uncommon occurrence for her to tell you that she found her eighth patch of diamonds only for you to scream in response because you found a zombie spawner. she’ll manage to make it out of a pillager outpost without losing so much as half a heart while you’re looking like a pincushion, how does she do it?

╰₊✧ more of a farmer player who is mesmerized by all the different types of flowers and will have a goal of harvesting all of them to make colorful fields that stretch on for longer than your render distance will allow you to see. she’s most excited about updates that have new plants, wood types, and animals, keeping pets of all kinds even if they aren’t meant to be domesticated! her base is practically a zoo and is always full of life just like she is, yet it still naturally blends in with the area so well that it seems naturally generated at first glance. on a creepier note, the more hidden areas might have a skull or two placed to fit an overgrown and abandoned aesthetic, but at least it’s pretty with all of the spore blossoms!

╰₊✧ lucy hates villager trading farms with a passion, finding them too inhumane despite the fact that the villagers are npcs without sentience of any sort. it breaks her heart to see them in such cramped living conditions whose only purpose is for trade, so she’ll work on freeing them while you’re offline. she’ll spend hours upon hours gathering materials in secret to build a nicer village than the one they formally resided in before dismantling your system, with a good amount of iron golems to protect them from hostile mobs since she didn’t want to restrict them by building a fence or walls. (don’t worry, all of them are named and she’s kept a book on all of their trades so that you can keep track! the hard part is only tracking them down, but the big village is a thousand times better than the ugly trading hall you had before).

━━━ .°˖✧ edmund pevensie ˚₊ ⊹

╰₊✧ favorite biome - ice spikes, favorite mob - horses, favorite flower - torchflower, favorite wood - dark oak, favorite block - prismarine

╰₊✧ he enjoys speedrunning, the only thing standing between him and being on the leaderboard is minor slip-ups that cost the entire game. he tends to get too cocky, especially once he’s gathered all he needed from the nether fortress and prematurely celebrates before a blaze knocks him off the edge, so you bet that you’re going to hear him come up with the most creative insults you would ever hear over the discord call (not including swears because he will be scolded for his language by someone in his house). his best record of beating the game is around forty minutes, nothing to gawk at, but something that he’s very proud of after all of his practice.

╰₊✧ if it’s not a world dedicated to that, where he doesn’t need to build a base, then he’ll place down all of the essentials and call it a day without a roof over his head. it’s not like he can actually get wet from the rain or sunburn from the sun, so he doesn’t bother and just lives like that until you persuade him to at least dig out a hole in a mountain to keep away from night-time mobs and expand whenever needed. his scattered chests are a mess, by the way, you can’t find anything while he just spam clicks and glazes over the screen to find something in his strange little system. he insists that he knows where everything is and that organization isn’t needed.

╰₊✧ also a total prankster, but will never blow up builds or destroy anything of yours because he knows how much time you put into it for a minute of amusement. he likes watching where you log out and trapping you in that spot with obsidian, something that you can easily get out of with a pick but is still annoying enough for him to get a kick out of it. once he wasn’t sure where the exact spot was, so he spent an entire real-life night meticulously encasing the area in glass and then flooding every block of air with water. he wondered multiple times if the effort was worth it in the process, but he cried tears of laughter when you couldn’t get out at all since you drowned before you could break the glass and then swim out. it was an endless cycle of “died by drowning” until you offered him a chest of iron blocks for your freedom.

━━━ .°˖✧ susan pevensie ˚₊ ⊹

╰₊✧ favorite biome - mountains, favorite mob - foxes, favorite flower - rose bushes, favorite wood - mangrove, favorite block - quartz

╰₊✧ has mixed feelings on redstone, something that makes so much yet so little sense. it’s something that she likes to think that she mastered quickly, but you can always hear her muttering under her breath about how an entire contraption broke because of something dumb like the repeater being a tick off. she always covers up these machines with big, elaborate builds in a unique gothic style that you’ve only seen from her— although most of these builds are hollow since she doesn’t know how to design the interior, leaving entire towns empty until she lets you fill them up with various shops and villagers to make it feel more lived-in.

╰₊✧ refuses to throw anything away and maybe has a bit of a hoarding tendency, you cannot convince her to toss so much as a rotten potato into the lava because she “might need it in the future” even though it’s the most worthless item in the game. her storage system is immense and conscientiously organized with item frames and color signs while practically overflowing, but she has copious amounts of everything and is very generous when it comes to sharing as long as you ask beforehand! (as a result, her least favorite mobs are creepers because she needs to sort out the damaged chests before everything disappears, a complete nightmare)

╰₊✧ has god-like accuracy with any projectiles and has mending on her bow because she hates how expensive it is to get a new one with maxed-out enchantments and argues about how it’s so much better than infinity once she made the switch. you need an inventory slot with at least one arrow anyway, so why can’t you just have the full stack when you can always pick up more by killing skeletons? it may be a bit pretentious of her, but she might mock you that you just have a skill issue when she sees you being a bad shot before giving you some tips on how to improve.

━━━ .°˖✧ peter pevensie ˚₊ ⊹

╰₊✧ favorite biome - fields, favorite mob - dogs/wolves, favorite flower - oxeye daisy, favorite wood - spruce, favorite block - diamond ore

╰₊✧ from “the sky’s the limit” to “whatever floats your goat,” the game isn’t done until he’s gotten all of the achievements no matter how stupid they may be! he’s pretty serious about completing, but once he’s finished, you can see him start goofing off and being more ridiculous. unlike his brother who plays the pranks, he tends to be the victim of them and can’t get revenge at all because his traps are a bit obvious (lucy always helps him out in that department). on the other hand, he’s great at pvp and fighting mobs, best with a sword, and likes to start raids to fight for fun with the “hero of the village” effect being a massive ego boost as well.

╰₊✧ his builds are pretty boring and cramped since he never upgrades it as needed, his house is really just a box made out of planks from the surrounding area. he didn’t think that you could create anything pleasing to the eye in a game where everything is made from cubes, so you’ll need to open his eyes to the fact that he can construct whatever he wants and how the only limit is his creativity. he won’t advance any further than using two different types of woods and including cobblestone, it simply isn’t his strong suit and he would much rather spend his time exploring and slaying his enemies instead.

╰₊✧ he has so many dogs, it’s not even funny, you need to turn down the volume for passive mobs whenever you’re at his base because they are barking nonstop. it’s not intentional either, he just somehow constantly forgets that feeding them makes them breed and can’t ever resist not giving them some steak when they tilt their heads at him. he gave up on naming all of them since he didn’t have enough tags and dying all of their collars after building a separate home for them, but the original ones that he tamed in the wild remain in his bedroom. despite the number of dogs, he refuses to take any of them on adventures with them because he will cry when unnamed number two hundred-something dies after sniffing lava and holds a funeral with a proper burial place.

Ok I have thoughtsssss on the Dapper lore we just got.

I 100% believe the feds are coercing Dapper to mass produce these op health swap/regen potions for them - for a number of reasons.

First off, we need to go back to the convo Dapper had with Bad a week? Ago about keeping secrets. This was before Dapper started acting really weird and secretive. During that conversation, Dapper - to me - felt scared. At the time I assumed it was because they were afraid Bad would be upset at them for keeping secrets but now I think it was because Dapper was terrified of the secret he was keeping, that the Feds have commanded them to figure out a way of mass producing this Soul Vulture potion. It was only after Bad assured Dapper that he trusts them that Dapper started going all in on this mystery. She had gotten permission/reassurance from her dad that he believes in her and trusts her to do the right thing.

Now why would the federation ask an egg to do their dirty work? Easy. The eggs are so much more vulnerable that the players. The federation most likely created them so they probably have actual leverage or sway of some kind over the eggs but also think about what Dapper has to lose? Pomme, Ramon, Richas, all of their siblings in addition to threats to imprison or hurt Bad and Baghera. There is so much leverage the Feds have over Dapper it’d be easy to black mail him into compliance. Additionally, no one would expect the eggs to turn like this. The eggs are incredibly loyal and most hate the federation as much as their parents. It would be easy to get the egg to work for the feds without tipping off any of the islanders.

Even more damningly, Dapper is the most knowledgeable person on the island when it comes to mobs and has extensive knowledge of create machines. Dapper is the perfect person to learn how to mass produce the Soul Vulture’s corrupted form that produces the hearts necessary to make the potion in addition to building a create machine to mass produce the potion itself. Dapper has the perfect combination of knowledge that makes them the only person for this job.

On top of all of that, Dapper has Soul Vultures in the lab (thank you Minecraft subtitles XD). Soul Vultures are only found in the nether. We know the Feds have access to spawn eggs for nether mobs thanks to the mob Dapper asked for in the Zoo project and the only other way would be going into the nether yourself which we know thanks to Forever’s portal is incredibly dangerous and chaotic. I highly doubt Dapper was making solo trips into the nether this whole time trying to find the Soul Vulture without Bad finding out. It’s much more likely to me that the federation gave Dapper spawn eggs - or even the mobs themselves- so that Dapper could breed them and experiment on them.

Then on top of all of this, Dapper has been blatantly lying to Bad’s face because what else can she do? Dapper knows they aren’t fooling Bad but what are they supposed to do? They are being black mailed and can’t tell anyone without the feds threatening to take away everyone Dapper loves. Of course the only thing they can do is lie knowing Bad will see right through it and hope that Bad won’t interfere (or will and help Dapper get out of this) I thought the bald face lying was so odd but Dapper being black mailed makes everything make sense because at that point, lying was all Dapper could do even if there was no way anyone would believe them.

But there you have it. That’s all the evidence I can think of off the top of my head just from memory. Hopefully we’ll get a stream tomorrow but until then, I cry T-T

(I can’t remember if the Soul Vulture was the second spawn egg the feds gave Dapper/Bad for the zoo but if that is the case, then the feds gave Dapper the egg knowing what it could be used for and the black mail scheme unfolds the same)

Hello everyone!!!! I'm here with ANOTHER fic! I cannot be stopped! ( ✿ Ò ω Ó)φ__ This one is based on Minecraft of all things, and is only possible because @im-an-orenj decided to take time out of their day and explain to me how Minecraft works these days. Y'all I haven't played this game since it was a free webgame. I don't even know if it required downloading because my brother was the main one who played, not me.

ANYWHO, this fic was written because the @pjo-equinox-solstice-exchange has opened sign ups for their summer exchange!!! How exciting!!!! You ARE gonna sign up, right? I am. So, to help spread the word, I wrote this! Enjoy!

Now, it is my honor to present this Valgrace Minecraft ontleshot: Pixels and Petals

Leo rolled his eyes and turned back to his game. Then he spied a little purple flower in his inventory and pulled it out to show Jason. “What do you think of this?” “Uh, it looks like an allium.” “Yeah, but where did it come from?” Leo demanded. “Because I didn't pick this thing. I don’t even know where they spawn.” “Flower forests and meadows. There's actually a meadow not too far from here,” Jason reported. “And if you didn't pick it, where do you think it came from?” “I think someone's playing a prank on me. A very weird prank,” Leo admitted. “I've just been finding flowers everywhere recently, so I think someone's sneaking up on me while I'm AFK and throwing them at me.” “Maybe the game is giving them to you, then,” Jason suggested. “Maybe the game thinks you need things as pretty as you.” *** Leo has been tormented by a lot of things over the course of his life, just like all demigods. However, he was fairly certain he was the only one being regularly accosted with pixels and petals.

Leo had a problem. Not, like, a bad problem. Nothing life-threatening or world-ending, unlike a majority of the problems he'd faced in his life, which was a relief, but it was somehow all the more irritating for it. 

It started off small. Annabeth had invited him to join a multiplayer Minecraft server of all things. Everyone had, of course, eagerly joined, though no one took to it quite like he and Annabeth did. As it turned out, nothing delighted Leo more than figuring out how to build resource farms (yes, Piper, he knows there are YouTube tutorials for this. Let him live his truth) and Annabeth was more than happy to exploit those farms to make absolutely stunning builds in scales that sometimes made Leo’s head spin. Everyone popped on occasionally to do their own thing (Hazel had a remarkably expansive zoo that she liked to update periodically, and Percy found a passion for strip mining of all things when he had to listen to his college lectures) but nine times out of ten, it was just Leo and Annabeth in their big lonely world. 

Which is why Leo couldn't figure out where all the damn flowers were coming from. 

At first it was easy to ignore. His main base was in a plains biome, so it made sense to have a few daisies and a cornflower or two crop up in his inventory along with the random seeds and feathers he found in there. It was slightly more confusing when he found them after his trips to the Nether, but hey. He was practically the poster child for ADHD little bastards, so if anyone could somehow stumble upon a sunflower in Minecraft hell and forget about it, it would be him.

He was a lot less understanding when he started finding them in his farm chests.

With a huff, Leo activated the mist fountain he'd installed next to his desk and tossed in a coin. After a moment, Annabeth’s hazy image appeared, absorbed in her computer and completely oblivious to his presence until he loudly cleared his throat, and she spun around in her chair to arch an eyebrow at him. “Yes?”

“Why the hell do you keep giving me flowers?” he demanded. “Don't you have better things to do?”

Annabeth looked just as baffled as he felt. “What are you talking about? I haven't given you any flowers. Because I have much better things to do.”

“Wow. Rude.”

She rolled her eyes so hard it made Leo a little dizzy in sympathy. “Seriously, I haven't done anything with flowers, other than make dye.”

“Huh.” Leo knit his brow. “Has Percy?”

“Well, he hasn't played in two weeks, so I'm gonna guess no.” She cocked her head to the side. “What made you think I was gi ing you flowers?”

“I just… keep finding them. Everywhere.”

“And you don't think you're just picking them up without noticing?”

“I did, until I found them in the item drop for my iron farm.”

“Oh.” Annabeth considered that for a moment before she said, “Wait, aren’t flowers a normal drop for an iron farm? Wouldn't it just be that?”

“Believe it or not, I do actually know how my own iron farm works,” Leo drawled, glancing at the two stacks of poppies in his chest along with a lonely little dandelion. “If it was just poppies, that would be fine, but it’s not.”

“Huh.” Annabeth’s mouth puckered up into a puzzled little knot. “Maybe Piper’s doing it? You did prank her base last week.”

“Maybe,” Leo said, though his tone was thick with doubt. The flowers had been haunting him almost since day one of the server, and Piper didn't come on nearly often enough to pull it off. Besides, she’d been too caught up.with her Pokémon ROM hacks to even realize that Leo had messed with her Minecraft base in the first place, so she didn’t really have a motive. He huffed out a sigh. “It doesn't really matter, I guess. It's just been driving me crazy.”

Annabeth nodded sympathetically. “I'll see if I start noticing anything on my game. Maybe the server's just glitching or something. Daedalus’s Laptop wasn't exactly designed for server hosting.”

Leo snorted at the idea of the mythical world managing to sink its claws into the block game, only to hand out flowers like a terribly confused hippy. “Thanks. I'll let you know if I figure anything else out.” He waved his hand through the image in the rainbow and turned back to his computer, then stifled a scream of pure frustration. 

There, right in the middle of his inventory, was a chrysanthemum.

*-*-*

Aside from Leo and Annabeth, Jason was probably the one who spent the most time on the server, not that you could really tell from looking at his base. Unlike Leo, who had expansive farms for just about every renewable resource in the game, or Annabeth and her obsessively detailed builds, Jason had a simple little acacia wood house a couple hundred blocks from spawn with a bed, a crafting table, and a furnace. 

And that’s it.

The only even semi-impressive thing about Jason’s base was the fact that if you went down into the basement, you'd find his Nether portal, an anvil, an Enderchest, and a whole wall of double chests, each and every one of them stuffed with Shulker boxes and random items. Realistically, Jason’s base was nothing more than a dolled up storage system, and not a very impressive or organized one at that. 

And the simple, obvious, reason for that was because Jason was an adventurer. He didn't bother with making his base impressive or even all that functional, because he hardly even spent time in it. To be perfectly honest, he spent more time at Leo's base than he did his own. At best, he'd stop in to drop off whatever items he'd come across, grab another few Shulker boxes, and then take to the skies again. Sometimes he'd just take off in a random direction to see what structures spawned in for him, but most of the time he was on some fetch quest or another. Leo certainly didn't mind the fact that he never had to visit the Nether any time he needed to make Redstone components, and he was certain Annabeth appreciated being able to request gilded Blackstone and get half a stack of it without having to lift a finger. The only hiccup was that Jason's adventuring sent him a long, long way from the bases, and he had an… interesting way of getting all of his loot home.

“Leo,” Jason said, pitching his tone into that plaintive whine of his as he draped himself over the back of Leo’s chair.

Jason let out a chuffing little snort-huff when Leo didn't immediately acknowledge him, so Leo reached up with his free hand and patted him on the cheek, attention still focused on adjusting the Comparator he was working with. “Hey, Supes. What's up?”

“Did you ever get around to getting your Blaze farm fixed?”

“Uh, yeah, the other day. Why?” Then he froze and twisted around so he could gawk at Jason. “You lost your last Enderchest? Again?”

“Technically, I didn't lose it. I know exactly where it is,” Jason shrugged casually. “Annabeth needed a lot of the small Dripleaves, and I picked the wrong direction. It took ages for me to get a lush cave to spawn, and I had to find six of them.”

“You have an Elytra. Getting home shouldn't be an issue.”

“I ran out of rockets,” Jason protested. “Besides, coming home is boring. My way's easier and faster.”

“You’re a fucking menace,” Leo accused pinching the bridge of his nose. “You've died more than everyone in our group combined. In and out of game.”

“I promised to stop dying in real life. What more do you want?”

Leo rolled his eyes and turned back to his game. Then he spied a little purple flower in his inventory and pulled it out to show Jason. “What do you think of this?”

“Uh, it looks like an allium.” 

“Yeah, but where did it come from?” Leo demanded. “Because I didn't pick this thing. I don’t even know where they spawn.”

“Flower forests and meadows. There's actually a meadow not too far from here,” Jason reported. “And if you didn't pick it, where do you think it came from?”

“I think someone's playing a prank on me. A very weird prank,” Leo admitted. “I've just been finding flowers everywhere recently, so I think someone's sneaking up on me while I'm AFK and throwing them at me.” Then he looked at Jason, eyes narrowed playfully. “Maybe it’s you. You seem to know an awful lot about flowers.”

“It’s definitely me,” Jason snorted right back. I'm for sure the one stuffing your inventory and chests with flowers in my spare time.” Leo barked out a bright laugh, and Jason grinned before humming contemplatively. “You know, the flowers are really pretty.”

“Mmm, yeah, that is the primary purpose of them.”

“Maybe the game is giving them to you, then,” Jason suggested. “Maybe the game thinks you need things as pretty as you.”

“Actually shut up, oh my god,” Leo laughed, the bright curl of pleasure in his chest making him almost breathless. “You’re such a loser.”

“Hey, it’s just a theory,” Jason countered. “And like all good theories, it is based on facts.”

Leo's face felt so warm that he was pretty sure he was going to burst into flames, at least a little, but he didn't care. His cheeks hurt from smiling and his chair was fireproof anyway. “Loser.”

Jason was wildly unrepentant. “Seriously, though, I can try and look into it. I do break into everyone's houses on a regular basis. I can look around, see if anyone has any suspicious amounts of flowers or something.”

Leo beamed up at him. “You, Jason Grace, have earned unrestricted access to the Blaze farm. Make as many Enderchests as you want, baby girl.”

Jason puffed up in pink-cheeked pride, and Leo just laughed. 

*-*-*

Leo didn’t like sitting around waiting for people. Sitting at a cafe table, doodling in the margins of his school books always made him feel weirdly exposed and a little on edge. Fortunately, most of his friends were more than willing to accommodate that for him, and he almost always showed up to meeting places with someone already waiting for him. Jason was especially good about it, and he usually went out of his way to pick Leo up from wherever he was to avoid meeting in the first place.

That being said, Jason was late.

He and Leo were supposed to meet in Jason’s favorite park for lunch, but when Leo got out of class there was no eager-eyed behemoth waiting for him like an expectant puppy. That was fine, though. Leo was a big boy, and he could make it to the park all on his own. In all likelihood, he’d probably wind up running into Jason on the way there anyway. 

Only, he didn't run into Jason on the way there, and when he got there, the park was devoid of any of his friends, much less the one he was looking for. Leo furrowed his brow in frustration, but sat down at one of the benches. If Jason was late, there was a reason for it, and, as much as he hated it, Leo could do nothing but sit and wait.

Sure enough, about seven minutes later, Jason came sprinting towards him, skidding to a halt right in front of Leo’s toes. “I’m so sorry!”

“It’s cool!” Leo beamed up at him cheerfully. He held up a Zip-Loc bag. “You want a brownie? I made some this morning using that recipe from Aphros.”

Jason’s whole face lit up like a kid at Christmas as he took his seat by Leo. “Yes, please!” Leo handed over a brownie, and Jason shoved half of it in his mouth, melting into the bench with a blissful sigh. “You’re the best.”

“You talking to me or the brownie there, Superman?” Leo teased.

“The brownie, obviously. You already know I think you’re the best,” Jason dismissed. Then he paused and looked at Leo hard. “You do know that right.”

Leo couldn’t help the delighted flush of his cheeks as he grinned at Jason. “Yeah, I know. It’s not exactly New Rome’s best kept secret or anything.” Jason nodded, like he was satisfied with that answer and went back to his brownie. “Side note, what held you up today?” Jason let out an incredibly put-upon groan and Leo arched an eyebrow at him. “Lemme guess. Temple stuff?”

“Temple stuff,” Jason confirmed sourly. “It’s Minerva again, which isn’t fair because she isn’t even a minor god, but she’s still mad about the whole Parthenos thing, despite the fact that several people, Greek and Roman, nearly died trying to restore it.”

Leo wrinkled his nose in sympathy. “Dude, that sucks. What’s she having you do this time?”

“There’s a library being built in Athens County, Ohio, and she wants me to go there to talk to some of the construction guys and make sure that it’s a proper temple to her,” he explained. “It’s not gonna be hard or anything, but it’s going to be boring, and I’ll be gone for better than a week starting next Monday.”

“Oh.” Leo stared down at his toes and deliberately ignored the way his chest deflated at the thought of Jason being gone for a whole week because acknowledging how much the idea bummed him out would have been super embarrassing.

“Yeah.” Jason seemed equally bummed for a second before he brightened. “Hey, do you wanna come with me? I know I said it would be boring, but if it’s both of us it won’t be so bad, especially if we can take Festus.”

For a moment, Leo thought he was going to burst from the sheer force of his pride. Jason wanted him to come on his boring temple quest. Not for anything useful, either, just because he wanted company, and more specifically he wanted Leo’s company. But just as soon as that hopeful pride flared to life, it was doused by an ice-cold cup of reality. “I can’t. I’ve got a presentation in Ancient Machines Thursday, and if I miss it, I’ll fail the course. I’d ask about rescheduling, but it’s a group project and my partner is going abroad for the next two months.”

Jason’s face fell, but he still offered Leo a smile. “Nah, I get it. Maybe next time?”

Leo once again felt his face and chest warm at the thought of future invitations. “Yeah, man. Whenever you want me, you’ve got me.”

Jason smiled so wide it made his eyes crinkle. “Cool.”

*-*-*

Leo was most certainly not pouting when he stomped into Jason’s room, slamming the door open with a bang. Jason jerked like he’d been electrocuted and arched his eyebrows at Leo’s petulant entrance. “Uh, hel–”

“Pity me,” Leo demanded, climbing into Jason’s bed without waiting for the invitation he knew would come.

Sure enough, Jason made an awkward scramble to shut his laptop, but immediately after that he opened his arms for Leo to settle into, which he did with a huff. “What’s the matter, Houston?” Jason asked soothingly, tugging at one of Leo’s curls like he always did as soon as he had an excuse to get his hands anywhere near Leo’s head. 

“It’s stupid Minecraft again,” Leo huffed. “Someone decided they were bored and griefed my base.”

“Someone griefed your base?” Jason echoed, sounding baffled and a little concerned. “That sucks. You want help rebuilding anything?”

“It’s not that kind of griefing,” Leo admitted somewhat sheepishly. “Honestly, it’s not really griefing at all.”

Jason seemed even more perplexed and interested now. “Then what is it?”

“Whoever’s been doing flower drive-bys on me decided to up the ante. Now instead of just my inventory and chests, they’ve started leaving flowerpots everywhere.” 

Jason blinked at him in shock for a moment before he tipped his head back and laughed. “That’s what you’re complaining about?”

“Don’t make fun of me!” Leo whined. “I’m seriously about to lose it! Today they left me a gray flower in a pot. I didn’t even know Minecraft had gray flowers!”

Jason quit laughing long enough to cock his head to the side curiously. “A gray flower?”

“Yeah, it’s for sure gray,” Leo confirmed. “I thought it might be a Wither Rose or something, but it doesn’t give any kind of Wither effect when I touch it.”

Jason furrowed his brow in concentration as he sifted through all of the Minecraft knowledge he had stuffed in his brain. “Uh, the flower. Is it, like, kind of bulbous? And is the stem gray, too?”

“Uh..” Leo trailed off, trying to remember the details of the flower. “I think so?”

“It’s probably an eyeblossom, in that case,” Jason said confidently. “You should wait til night. They’re supposed to open up then.”

“Huh. I didn’t know those were a thing.” Leo considered that for a moment, wondering how much effort someone would have had to put in to hunt down some stupidly rare flower Leo had never even heard of, just to put it in someone else's base. He shook his head to dismiss the thought. “That’s not the point! The point is I’m being tormented and you’re supposed to pity me!”

“Oh, don’t worry, I’m pitying you as much as you deserve,” Jason said in a mockery of comfort. Then his mouth pulled down in a little frown and his eyebrows knit. “Is it… seriously bothering you, though?”

Leo chewed on his lip for a moment as he thought it over. “No, not really, I guess. It’s just kinda frustrating because I can’t figure it out, you know? Like, I have no idea who’s doing it, and if it’s not someone doing it, it’s something and that’s somehow even more confusing.”

“But it’s the kind of frustrated where you’re trying to get a machine to work, right?” Jason clarified. “The kind that makes you want to rip your hair out but when you figure it out, it was fun the whole time?”

“Yeah, exactly!” Leo grinned. 

Jason smiled back at him, and tugged on his curl again. “In that case, I definitely pity you just as much as you deserve.”

Leo just stuck his tongue out at him.  

*-*-*

In all honesty, Leo had never really pegged himself for a “computer guy,” and, realistically, he wasn’t. He much preferred analog stuff, things where he could literally hold his inventions together with duct tape and a prayer, rather than metaphorically. Even in Minecraft, where all his designs were a bunch of ones and zeros at the end of the day, there was all sorts of zany, off the wall solutions that he knew Mojang would weep over if they ever caught sight of them. 

That being said, he was still the guy who fixed things, and being a child of Hephaestus did give him some innate skills that nobody else had, so it wasn’t a surprise to anyone when Annabeth walked up to Leo with a scowl on her face and Daedalus’s Laptop and a complaint that the Chisels and Bits mod wasn’t working properly. He’d of course, taken it with a promise to get everything straightened out as soon as he could, and a warning that he was actually pretty busy with class, so it wouldn’t be until the weekend. Annabeth hadn’t been thrilled about the idea, but she figured sending out a group message that no one could get on the server for three days was better than ruining the builds she’d spent literal days perfecting. 

Which was how Leo found himself here: half past two in the morning, energy drink in one hand and laptop open in front of him. Getting the mod to work had been a pain in the ass, but one he’d managed to complete well over an hour before. Now, he was scrolling through the mess of information and code that made up the Argo III server, trying to figure out what, exactly, had even knocked things out of place to begin with, and what he could do to make sure it never happened again. Besides, he was pretty sure nobody would mind if he tweaked a few things here and there to keep things running butter smooth and squishing any grubs before they got the chance to grow up into proper bugs. Nico, at the very least, would likely appreciate not being overrun by skeletons every time he tried to sleep.

Around the time he was getting ready to call it quits is when he saw it. A tiny little subroutine that didn’t seem to have much of a purpose at all, but which had several item ID tags baked into it, along with the command </give:PLAYER> that he couldn’t help but narrow his eyes at. It probably wasn’t anything important, but if Annabeth was willing to let him design and run a scrubbing program, then maybe…

His thoughts were interrupted by the presence of a pointy chin being dropped heavily on top of his head. “Why are you still awake?” Jason complained, his voice thick with sleep and irritation. “Go to bed.”

“It’s not even that late, Supes,” Leo laughed. “Talk to me when it’s closer to four and maybe I’ll listen.”

“If I’m awake at four in the morning, I’m actually never going to forgive you.”

“No one said you have to be awake,” Leo pointed out. “You can go to sleep at your Princess Perfect Pants bedtime of 8:30 every night, dude. But I, for one, don’t have school in the morning, so I can and will stay up as late as I want.”

Jason was obviously displeased with that statement. “I’ll make you go to bed.”

“I’d like to see you tr– Ah! Jason!”

“You told me to try!” Jason reminded him with a laugh, like he hadn’t just picked Leo up kitten-style and thrown him over his shoulder.

“My damage is your damaged sleep cycle,” Jason countered, still carting Leo to his bedroom.

“You motherfucker, put me down!” Leo seethed, raining a barrage of smacks across Jason’s back. “Seriously, what’s your damage?”

Then the world spun again, and Leo found himself being tossed on his bed, bouncing a couple times for good measure. He scowled up at Jason. “I hate you.”

Jason just grinned at him. “Come on. Please just call it a night? We’re supposed to be doing that party thing with everyone on Sunday, and then I leave Monday. I wanted to spend tomorrow with you, and I can’t do that if you sleep in until five.”

“I only slept in until fivev the one time,” Leo grumbled. Still, he couldn’t deny that Jason’s plea tugged at his heartstrings and stroked his ego. “Okay, fine. I’ll go to bed. But you owe me.”

Jason beamed at him like he’d just been given a million bucks and a half dozen Nobel Peace Prizes all at once. “Yeah, of course. Whatever you want.”

“Whatever I want, huh?” Leo asked, arching his eyebrow. “I’m gonna make you regret that.”

Jason’s smile just got wider. “I know you will.”

*-*-*

Somehow, and Leo was certain that it was a conundrum that would baffle historians forever, Leo had managed to make friends with a bunch of extroverts. Leo liked people, genuinely, he did, and he especially liked his friends, but they were sometimes a bit much. Hazel was just so warm and friendly and liked to be involved in everything, and much as it might surprise people, her brother had it just as bad, Nico just masked it with an absolutely arid sense of humor and an aloof demeanor. Frank and Piper were both alright, falling somewhere in the middle of the spectrum, with Piper being a little more overtly outgoing, but Annabeth and Percy were the worst. It sometimes took a minute for Percy to shake off his initial awkwardness, especially in larger groups, but the instant he did he was bounding around the room, shaking hands and talking to everyone who stood still long enough. Meanwhile, Annabeth practically commanded any room she was in and people just fell into her orbit while she gave each and every one of them her attention like any model host would, regardless of if she was the host or not. Really and truly, Percy and Annabeth were the best at throwing parties and everyone had loads of fun.

That didn’t mean they weren’t fucking exhausting.

Leo was very tired of the party, of being surrounded by people, of having to break out all of his social skills and run them on max every time he turned around. He was tired, and based on the tight polite smile and the glazed look in his eyes, Jason was tired, too. Which meant that it was Leo’s time to shine.

Without warning, he stuck his fingers in Piper’s cup of stale beer, ignoring her startled protests, as he theatrically stumbled over to Jason’s side, covertly dabbing beer on his wrists and under his jaw. When he made it to Jason, he put on his widest, most drunken smile and flung his arms around Jason’s waist and slurred, “Heeeeyyyyy, Jaceyyyy.”

Jason looked alarmed for only a second before his eyes sparkled with acknowledgement. “Hey, Leo.”

Leo just kept up his silly smile before he turned and blinked at the two people standing before them like he hadn’t noticed them. “Who’re you?”

“This is Miranda and Toby. They’re in my Astro-Cartography class,” Jason explained. Then he turned his attention to Miranda and Toby and gestured at Leo. “And this drunken limpet is Leo. He’s my roommate.”

“And best friend!” Leo added, deliberately pitching his voice to sound deliberately childish.

“And best friend,” Jason agreed. Then he gave Miranda and Toby an apologetic smile. “Speaking of, I should probably get this guy back to our apartment. Sorry, you guys.”

“No, I wanna staaaaayyyy,” Leo whined, digging his chin into Jason’s arm.

“Maybe next time,” Jason said soothingly. “But right now, you need to get to bed.”

“Once a Praetor, always a Praetor,” Miranda joked, and Toby gave a little half-smothered snort. “See you when you get back, Jason! Thanks for the invite!”

“Thanks for coming,” Jason said genuinely. “See you later.”

Then Leo let Jason escort him out of Percy and Annabeth’s apartment, making a show of complaining and tripping over his feet the whole way out the door while Jason laughed at him. 

As soon as they were safe out on the street, Jason let out a huge groan of relief and sank down in a heap on a nearby bench. Leo snickered and sat down at his side. “Doin’ alright there, Supes?” 

Jason muttered something in Latin under his breath, then gave Leo a grateful smile. “Honestly? Way better now. Thanks.”

“I’ve always got your back, man,” Leo grinned, gently elbowing Jason in the side.

In response, Jason threw his arm over Leo’s shoulder and pulled him into a tight sideways hug and thumped their foreheads together. “Trust me, I’m well aware.” They stayed like that, staring at one another and grinning like losers before Jason’s face fell. “I’m gonna miss you.”

Leo swallowed around the sudden thickness in his throat and blinked a couple times, hard. “I– Yeah, man. This is gonna be the first time in ages that you’re gonna get a break from me, huh?”

“First time since the Argo II,” Jason confirmed quietly. 

Leo looked away from him, fiddling with his fingers. This would be the first time Jason was out of his sight longer than a couple days since he’d managed to drag Jason back to the land of the living. The thought made his heart race like a hunted rabbit, but he took a deep breath and just thumped his head on Jason’s shoulder instead of saying anything about it. “I’m gonna miss you, too.”

Leo’s voice was a little wobbly and bordered on wet, but Jason didn’t say anything. He just rested his cheek on Leo’s head, and they sat there in silence.

*-*-*

With Jason gone, Leo found himself feeling… off. There was no other word for it really. He just felt off-kilter like he was wearing a pair of shoes and one of them was a heavy-duty, steel-toed work boot while the other was one of those flimsy plastic flip-flops you could buy at the dollar store. He was somehow both overstimulated and understimulated at all times and every moment spent in their empty apartment made him want to itch out of his skin.

So, he kept himself busy. He spent even more time with Piper than he already did, much to Reyna’s mild chagrin. He got caught up on all of his homework, and pestered as many of his professors into giving him the next few assignments as he could. He took up running with Frank and he helped Hazel with sorting through her Praetor paperwork and practiced sparring with Percy and Annabeth. Hell, he even went out of his way to practice forging swords, and he hated forging swords. 

But most of all, he played Minecraft.

As he’d expected, Annabeth was surprised to find out about the subroutine he’d found and had absolutely no problem with lending him Daedalus’s Laptop again so he could run his scrubbing program, and in the three days since then the server had been running smoother than it ever had. Everyone was happy, and even Piper managed to take some time away from her precious Pokémon so she could appreciate his efforts. Not that she probably noticed, but whatever. She still beamed at Leo and told him he did a good job and that’s all his validation junky brain needed at the end of the day. 

It had also been three days since Leo was last flower bombed. His inventory was still a mess, but it was only a mess of the things that he put in it. All of his chests were just as tidy as he left them, and there wasn’t a single stray item in any of his farms. He still had flowers in pots dotted around his base, but no more had mysteriously appeared. He was incredibly proud of himself for finally solving his puzzle.

He was also very lonely.

He’d heard people talk about Minecraft being a lonely game, what with its wide, expansive worlds and lost cities and villages you could never truly join, but Leo had never really gotten that impression. The first time he’d played Minecraft was when Annabeth asked him to join the Argo III server, so his game had always been stuffed to the gills with his friends and, of course, flowers. He was never lonely. But now, as he sat in his bedroom, knowing the room on the other side of the wall was just as empty as his flower chest, he couldn’t help but feel so very alone. He wished he could go back in time and tell himself not to make such a big deal out of nothing, to just accept kindness without trying to mask it with frustration or some stupid joke. He wished he didn’t feel the need to fix everything in his life, even the things that were maybe better off broken.

He wished he still had his flowers.

*-*-*

Six days had passed and Leo was once again staring down at a chest he knew for a fact that he didn’t place because it had been given a cheeky little label that read For Leo ;) and was sitting right in the middle of his front door. He’d never admit it to anyone, but his heart leapt into the back of his throat as he opened the chest. He blinked down at the contents and pressed his fist to his mouth in order to help smother his grin before he took a deep breath, furrowed his face up into something more akin to irritation and turned around in his chair. “Jason!”

Jason’s head whipped up from where he was reading a book on Leo’s bed. Since his return from Ohio the day before, he and Leo hadn’t been out of each other’s line of sight, and Leo quite liked it that way. They’d have to get over themselves come tomorrow when they’d be forced back to classes, but for right now they were free to be the codependent little freaks everyone accused them of being. “What’s up, man?”

“It’s the stupid flower thing again,” Leo huffed. 

“I thought you said you fixed that.”

“Apparently not. Come look.”

Jason dutifully got up off the bed so he could drape himself over Leo’s shoulders, his weirdly sharp chin digging into the top of Leo’s head. Leo once again opened the chest for Jason’s perusal, and after a moment, Jason let out a bright snort of surprised laughter. Leo did his best to scowl up at him. “What the fuck, dude? You’re not supposed to be laughing at me!”

 “You have to admit, they did get you,” Jason pointed out in a half-hearted defense, and okay, yeah, Jason maybe had a point. The chest was stuffed completely full with every type of flower known to the wide Minecraft world from the common azure bluette to those weird-looking ones only the Sniffer could find,  every color variant of tulip, and even one of the chorus flowers from all the way in the End. There was even a pink textured block that Leo was pretty sure was actually just cherry tree leaves stashed in there for good measure. Not that he could double check that because all 25 flowers in the chest were individually renamed

DID   YOU   REALLY   THINK     IT   WOULD   BE  THAT     EASY?

I’M   JUST  GETTING   STARTED   LEO.   DID     YOU    MISS      ME?

                       <3           I     MISSED    YOU       <3

“You are the most wildly unhelpful person on the planet, and Buford exists,” Leo accused. “You’re more unhelpful than a talking side table I accidentally programmed to be sassy. Do you know how hard that is?”

“I’m sorry,” Jason said, though he didn’t sound all that sorry at all. “At least they were polite enough to keep it in a chest this time.”

“That’s fair,” Leo grumbled, side-eyeing the pixels. He couldn’t help but think about how much effort must have gone into that particular plant. Aside from the pain of collecting all the flowers, including a damn Wither Rose, it would have taken a lot of effort to get the levels necessary to rename them all. Considering the fact that an experience farm was one of the only farms Leo hadn’t been bothered to make, that meant all 26 levels necessary would have needed to be collected the good old fashioned way. He had to admit that the dedication was somewhat admirable.

“You said it doesn’t actually bother you, right?” Jason clarified. 

“Well, it’s bothering me now,” Leo complained. “I thought I’d solved it.”

“Not this time,” Jason chuckled. “Looks like you’re just going to have to wait a bit longer and find out who it is.”

Leo scowled at his screen, but he couldn’t deny the warmth that was curling in his chest. Maybe he didn’t mind that much.

*-*-*

“So, care to tell me why I had to find out you have a Minecraft secret admirer from Frank of all people?”

Leo flicked his eyes up just in time to see Piper flop down in the chair across from him. She stole his ice cream, and he only mentally cursed her lineage a little bit. “Honestly, I have no clue how or why Frank would have told you that,” Leo said simply. “I’ve never told him about it.”

“He heard it from Hazel, who heard it from Nico, who heard it from Annabeth,” Piper explained. “And that’s, like, completely beside the point. I’m interested in the fact that you didn’t tell me.”

He shrugged and stole his ice cream back. “Honestly, it didn’t seem like that big of a deal. It’s not like you even play Minecraft unless I make you.”

“Uh-huh,” Piper drawled. “And the fact that ‘it’s not a big deal’ is what led to you kidnapping Annabeth’s laptop so you could run experiments on it until four in the morning?”

“Literally whatever!”

Leo snorted and rested his chin on his hand. “Honestly, it’s not a big deal. I didn’t even notice for ages because I thought I was just picking up random flowers and forgetting about it.”

“Number one, it was only two in the morning, and she gave it to me,” he corrected.

She flapped her hands through the air dismissively as if to say Bah! Don’t pester me with your silly things like facts and details! I’m busy being deranged! Then she leaned forward across the table, eyes bright and eager. “So, you figured it out, right?”

“No,” Leo confessed. “I thought I did for a while there because I found a weird subroutine in Annabeth’s mods pack, but I think it was just a leftover bit of code from testing or something. I got rid of it, but the other day I found a chest full of flowers that had been renamed to leave me a message. So, like, definitely not a glitch or a code thing or whatever. I’m thinking maybe Hazel because I got torch flowers and stuff and I’m pretty sure she’s the only one with a Sniffer.” Piper just gaped at him like she did sometimes when she was questioning everything she knew about survival of the fittest and how Leo managed to fit into that. He arched an eyebrow at her. “What?”

“Are you stupid?” she asked bluntly. Leo spluttered in shocked outrage and she waved her hands again. “Okay, ignore that. Obviously you’re not stupid. We both know that much. But are you thick? Can you pick up a hint, or does it have to be gift wrapped with your name on it?”

Leo scowled at her. “If you’re gonna be a bitch then–”

“Okay, that was mean,” she admitted. “I’m just, I dunno, gobsmacked you haven’t figured it out.”

“I haven’t exactly been given a lot of hints, Pipes.”

“You don’t need hints for this,” she insisted. “Leo, come on. Someone is going around leaving you flowers and writing you playful little messages. It doesn’t exactly take a genius to figure it out.”

“Then who is it?”

She rolled her eyes and scoffed, “Oh, I dunno, maybe it’s the guy who’s madly in love with you to the point that he comes off as an obsessed little weirdo to anyone who’s not you?”

Leo wracked his brain for anyone who fit that description. “Uh, Percy? Because of the dog whistle thing?” Piper gave him a look that made him finally understand why Minecraft used the word wither. “Okay, so not Percy.”

“No, dummy. Not Percy.”

Leo thought so hard he was worried he’d give himself a migraine. Still. “I got nothing. Can’t you just tell me, seeing as you know so much?”

Piper’s look changed to one of pity, though he got the feeling it wasn’t for him, and she shook her head. “Sorry, but if you haven’t figured it out, it’s really not my place to say.”

Then she got up and left, leaving Leo behind with his half-melted icecream and his half-solved riddle.

*-*-*

It wasn’t often that Leo got the urge to go out exploring in Minecraft. Most of the time, he was more than content with his not-so-little farms, and any urge to face down the beasts of the land was quenched by a quick trip to the mines to fight some skeletons and zombies (no spiders, thanks to one of Annabeth’s mods) and gather resources he didn’t 

really need. When he was feeling really adventurous, he’d head down to the Nether and see what foes awaited him down in the depths, but never beyond that. He’d fought the Ender Dragon with Jason on their own little two-man server once, just to see what it was like, but never again. He didn’t particularly get the hype if he was honest. Now, if he could tame the Ender Dragon, that might be something worth doing, but that wasn’t a mod he’d come across and he wasn’t particularly interested in making it himself.

But every now and then, he got the urge to go out and play Minecraft. To really see what was out there in that big expansive world. Today, in particular, he wanted to conquer a Woodland Mansion and get his hands on a Totem of Undying or two. Doing that would, admittedly, be a lot easier if he could fly, which he couldn’t, as he’d never bothered to get his own Elytra from the End. Jason had offered to fetch him a pair, but he’d declined. It wasn’t like he really needed them often enough to warrant having his own, and he knew for a fact that Jason regularly left a (fully enchanted) pair just sitting around in his base. So, naturally, Leo did what any good best friend would do, and he broke into Jason’s house.

He didn’t really feel all that bad about his breaking and entering, or burglary rather, seeing as he knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that Jason would have happily handed over the Elytra on his own back if he’d been online for Leo to ask, and Leo was planning on leaving him a few stacks of rockets for the involuntary lending. Really and truly, he was probably doing Jason a favor by stealing his Elytra for the day. Yeah, that’s the angle Leo would spin.

So, he packed up his very best armor (full iron with a diamond helmet, don’t judge him, he hated mining) and made his way across the savannah to Jason’s homely little base. 

It was exactly the same as Leo remembered it being, other than the addition of a new corral, which Leo thought was a little odd. Normally, Jason just used bread as a food source, seeing as Leo had a wheat farm, but Leo supposed there was nothing wrong with Jason having a pet. Maybe he had a little flock of wolves outside his base to make it more homey or something.

Then, just as Leo was about to head inside, he heard the low, bellowing half-moo-half-groan of an animal that was definitely not a wolf, followed by some furious sniffing noises. He turned back to the corral and came face to giant furry face with none other than a Sniffer. It flared its little digital nostrils at Leo like it was trying to scent him before lumbering off a few steps and plopping down on the ground. It ducked its head and started rooting around in the dirt for a moment before a little item popped up between its feet. 

Leo just stared for a moment in complete bafflement. He remembered Hazel complaining about all the effort she’d gone through to get her Sniffer, he couldn’t imagine why Jason had done the same. Even if he had stumbled upon an egg in his adventures, surely he would have just given it to Hazel, seeing as she was still trying to hunt down a mate for the one in her zoo. It just didn’t make any sense so he did what he oft times did with things he couldn’t fix or understand: He ignored it.

Instead of trying to solve the Sniffer puzzle, he made his way down into Jason’s basement to solve the much more pressing puzzle of finding anything in Jason’s chest monster. It took ages for anyone, including Jason, to find anything in the mess Jason shamefully called a storage “system.” Most of the chests were only half-full of random items, with several of those spots being dedicated to unmarked Shulker Boxes full of, you guessed it, more random junk. Leo was lucky enough to stumble upon an Enderchest at one point, and he crossed his fingers before opening it, only to find six raw chickens, some gunpowder, and an iron sword with half its durability gone before realizing that he wasn’t seeing Jason’s items, but his own. Enderchests were fun like that.

Then he came across something interesting, or, at the very least, out of the ordinary. It was a chest with a single Shulker Box among the various other garbage Jason had stashed with it, which would have been fine if not for the fact that it was bright red. All of the other dozens of Shulker Boxes Leo had sifted through were the exact same shade of End purple of undyed Shulkers. The fact that this one was red admittedly had Leo curious. With somewhat bated breath, he opened it to see what was inside.

Flowers.

Not just one or two, but at least twenty of every flower in the game, all arranged in neat, tidy little orders based on rarity. He felt his heart beat in the back of his throat. 

Maybe it’s the guy who’s madly in love with you.

Leo quickly stashed the Shulker Box in his inventory and bolted out of Jason’s house.

*-*-*

Leo wasn’t really sure where he was going or what he was meant to do now. So, Jason was probably the one giving him flowers. Probably had been the whole time, but at the very least since the chest with the note. According to Piper, that meant Jason was in love with him, but he couldn’t think like that. He’d wrestled with that idea, and managed to shove the part of his brain that made heart eyes and sighed dreamily at Jason like a lovestruck schoolgirl into a box and stashed that box somewhere he was sure it would never bother him again. 

But this. Leo liked facts. It was difficult to ignore facts. He could do it, but it wasn’t easy.

He made his way back to his base to stash his stolen goods in his (properly organized) storage system, but what he saw stopped him in his tracks. Jason was in his base, carefully arranging a set of birch trap doors around a dirt block he’d placed in the middle of Leo’s floor, and once he was happy with that, he took a step back and placed a big old peony right there in front of Leo’s very eyes. 

Then he finally turned, and apparently he saw Leo because he crouched and did a slow little walk back and forth that very much made Leo think of a dog with its tail between its legs. Leo crouched a couple times back at him before he threw the Shulker Box on the ground. Jason slowly crept forward to pick it up, and paused for a moment to check its contents.

And then he logged out. 

Leo stared, dumbfounded, at the place Jason had just disappeared from and darted out of his room just in time to see Jason making a mad dash through the living room towards the front door. “Jason Grace, don’t you dare!”

Jason immediately froze before slowly turning to face Leo, who was once again viscerally reminded of a dog who knew it was in trouble. “Uh, hey, Leo.”

“You’re the one giving me flowers!” Leo accused, feeling he should probably just cut straight to the chase. In just a few steps, he was across the room and standing practically chest to chest with Jason. 

Jason’s face flushed maroon. “Um, yes.”

The schoolgirl part of Leo’s brain was furiously kicking and trying to escape its box. “Like, the whole time?”

“Yes?” Jason squeaked. He awkwardly cleared his throat. “I, uh, didn’t really plan for you to actually notice. I figured if I just stashed them in your chests, you wouldn’t really think it was that weird.”

“I didn’t until you started messing with my farm chests.,” Leo agreed. He shook his head. “I just– Why? I don’t get it.”

“I just…” Jason was staring down at his toes and Leo kind of wanted to scream about how adorably embarrassed this gigantor hero-boy was over some colorful pixels. “I though they were pretty. I figured you’d like them.”

Maybe the game thinks you need things as pretty as you.

Leo’s breath hitched in the back of his throat and he blinked owlishly at Jason. “Wait, really?” Jason turned somehow even darker and nodded his head. The schoolgirl in Leo’s brain was officially unleashed, and he felt a giddy smile pulling at his cheeks. “Hey, Jace, can I do something I would have thought was super dumb yesterday?”

Jason cocked his head and squinted down at him. “Uh, yeah, sure. I guess.”

Without waiting for a second thought to cross his mind and dash any of the lovestruck courage Leo was feeling, he reached up to grab Jason by his cheeks and kissed him square on the lips. Jason made a loud startled sound and Leo couldn’t help but giggle in delight, which made kissing more difficult than it needed to be but he didn’t care. He was kissing Jason. He’d wanted to kiss Jason since he was a scared, lonely fifteen-year-old in a sewer and Jason was smiling at him like he actually mattered. He’d put up with all the awkward nose bumping in the world to stay right here. 

But then, oh, Jason actually kissed him back. Really, for as much as Leo loved kissing Jason, he liked being kissed by Jason just as much. Jason’s hands kinda fluttered through the air for a moment before landing on Leo’s biceps and squeezing him tight. For once though, being held didn’t feel like someone trying to keep him in place, it felt like someone who never wanted to let him go. He just kissed Jason back even harder.

When they had to take a moment to breathe, Jason blinked at Leo like he was seeing something that made all the wonders of the world – ancient, natural, and modern – look like roadside attractions, and Leo’s heart did a besotted little tapdance in his chest. “I’ve had a crush on you since you brought me back from the Underworld.”

“Get on my level, bozo,” Leo grinned, and he knew his nose was scrunching up because Jason rubbed his against it. “I’ve got you beat by, like, a year and change.”

Jason’s eyes got all wide and sparkly and he scooped Leo up in a hug that actually lifted him off his feet. Leo laughed, loud and bright while Jason peppered his face in delighted kisses. “Will you date me then?” he asked eagerly. “Or, can I date you? I don’t know if there’s a way you’d prefer. Or a difference at all, I guess.”

“I suppose I can let you date me, if it really means that much to you,” Leo teased. Jason just kissed him to keep him from saying anything else. Leo got the feeling this would be Jason’s new go-to for shutting him up when he got annoying.

He made a silent vow to be extra annoying.

[disfrutalakia]

Okay this one will probably be very lengthy and maybe not my best one, but I want to analyze a bit Forever's and Richas relationship, from the beginning until the moment it started showing cracks until now.

Take my hand into the land of egg parental issues.

So, Forever's and Richas' relantionship is a very interesting one to observe, because it barely happened on the first day, Forever fully thought that this weird egg child they had been tasked with was an AI and just fucked off to do regular minecraft things.

Even during the whole imortalyson thing he was there but also not really, because he said he never prepared anything for it and just went with the flow saying whatever came to his mind;

Things started to change when he began to destroy the desert and Richas would get along, so they spent a lot of nights talking to each and bonding, which made them get very close to each other and for months if someone asked "what dad is RIchas closest to?" the answer would be Forever, they were glued at the hip and would do everything together at any moments. Richas going as far as to say that "dad Forever is the one who takes care of me the most"

After Talulla's first death and especially after Bobby, it was when Forever started to worry more about the eggs, he built the ninho and taught all the parents to use it and to this day, no egg has died (expect for Richas today, but that's a can of worms for later)

What began make their relationship a bit harder was the time of the elections, because it was around that the time where Richas to have his whole thing against armor, that only happened with Forever, but it wasn't as drastic. Only after the elections where Forever was elected that this became a more serious problem.

Richas refused to wear armor if Forever was around, and this worried Forever because if Richas died from lack of armor, it would be his fault. The true breaking point for all that I would say it was at the day Richas was refusing to wear armor don't matter how much Forever tried, Richas jumped off the wall to prove that he would stay alive and Forever almost died along with him. Than Forever revealed that he preferred for Richas to stay with the other parent's instead of him, because then at least it meant Richas would be wearing armor and safe.

Then the cosmetic armor mod got added and things seemed calmer now, but now the problam was Forever having way too many projects, tasks, everything to do because of the presidency. Barely leaving time for him and Richas. I think the biggest example of that is one clip where he is building the zoo with Richas, Bad and Dapper and Richas went to hang out with Bad. SO Forever started to feeling left behind, and kept talking to himself how he had to share his son with everyone and that made him bitter, even if he would never let Richas know that.

And then on the las day of them together before the eggs went away, their goodbye was brief, cause Forever was focuses in chatting with Felps and then... the happy pills

Cut to months later, they are finally reunited! but the Richas die... and Forever blames himself, for not being fast enough, for not being at his side, for everything.

And then he and Richas argue again, which clearly leaves a bitter taste in their mouths. Their issues not fully talked about but they still love each other so much, they might be broken. but the love is still there and that1s what pushes Forever foward.

Liveblogging Scar Stream 6/8/24, Part III

1:15:00 The witch is in place. It continues poisoning Scar. Scar polls the chat about taking it out of the minecart, but reaches no consensus.

1:16:50 A wild Zedaph appears (signs on)! Scar comments he is almost never online with Zed because their timezones are so different. Same with Joel. Scar begins to compliment the Imagineers at Toyko Disney Springs. He likes very many things about Tokyo Disney. While he talks, he disassembles the witch track. He also likes the themed Disney food, and Disney food in general.

1:23:30 Scar attempts to remove the witch from the minecart. It poisons him again. He accidentally hits it with a shovel. A chatter suggests invisibility potion, but Scar is skeptical. The witch kills him. He respawns in the train engine.

1:25:20 Scar returns to the villain car and collects his bits. He drops a bow, which concerns the chat, but it is not the HotGuy bow. Scar teases the coming TCG set and says the art is going to be very cool. He checks to see if a shield blocks potions. The witch poisons him again.

1:27:40 Scar successfully frees the with from the minecart. It poisons him again. He flies away and scolds the witch from a safe distance for throwing potions on Frank.

1:29:30 Chat demands lava for Frank. Scar says Frank will get lava. Scar takes the chat to his creative world and warns of spoilers ahead. He shows chat several potential designs for villain cars, but the one he wants isn’t there. He is confused. Chat suggests that maybe the other tower was the friends we made along the way. Scar shows off some of the train designs he used while preparing to build the zoo train, including trains he build in Scarland, Empires, Season 7, etc. The original engine design for the circus train was much more compact and cartoony. There are at least 20 trains and partial trains floating in this area.

1:33:45 Scar says that this test world is extremely old. He flies over to an area where he learned how to make beds and pieces of furniture back in 2011 or 2012. He shows us what he believes may be the first-ever Minecraft toilet. He gives chat a tour of some kitchen and living room designs from 2012 and the introduction of terracotta. He shows chat the first “realistic” house he tried to build. It is perfectly fine, but he does not like it now. He counsels chat that everything takes time, practice and commitment. He flies past a boat he hates and commands chat not to look at it. He shows mockups of the courthouse from Season 4, planes from Season 7, and HotGuy HQ from Season 9. Many recognizable builds from various seasons are visible. Scar tells chat that you need to fail and fail and fail before you ever get where you want to go.

1:38:45 Scar tries to find a particular build and cannot, detours to show his experiments with ghostly glass from Season 6. He shows a mockup of his Season 5 roads from Scar City. He shows the prototype of a never-enacted prank on False involving “Jelliefish.” He shows some redstone experiments from back in the day, including a scrapped enchanter from the first Scarland survival world.

1:42:00 A chatter suggests Scar make the creative world available as a world download. Scar says he wishes there was more in it, that he often uses a HC world download these days. He shows off a Kingdomcraft build he designed while he was in the hospital but could not complete because the series ended.

1:45:20 Scar shows off many prototype Swaggons and describes trying to figure out the scale of the very large wagons. He encourages the chat to persevere through times when everything seems ugly and wrong, because things will eventually start to click.

1:47:10 Scar shows off a half-built structure he liked and never built. He shows off two building prototypes for the Pirate Cove. A chatter asks about world edit, and Scar shows how he uses World Edit to copy and paste in process builds so he can make alterations to builds he likes without risking ruining the structure in the process. He talks about how working with Bdubs has made him more willing to take extreme design risks and see what happens, and World Edit helps him do that.

1:51:45 Scar says most World Edit tools don’t make sense to his creative brain so he doesn’t use brush tools or things like that. Being in creative, chilling, building and having fun are one of his favorite things to do. He shows off gradient tests from when tuff and dripstone were new. He says he practices shapes and color patterns in creative so he can do them quicker and better in his survival worlds.

1:55:00 Scar shows off a set of color and gradient tests from the beginning of the nether update. He interrupts a trio of villagers talking, one of whom is wearing a dragon head. He finds a redstone device but cannot figure out what it was supposed to do. He gets very excited when he finds “something very interesting,” the original color layout for his magical crystals. Red crystals were supposed to be health before he turned it into a rage crystal for Tango. He says the saddest thing about Season 7 was that he wanted to take the crystal thing way further, but is happy that he was able to use the idea again in Last Life. He shows off the prototypes of his bell prank on Grian from Season 8. He finds several more ambiguous redstone pieces.

1:59:40 Scar shows off several more prototypes from early season builds. He is charmed by finding an alligator he does not remember building. He pop quizzes chat on one prototype, chat correctly guesses “haunted mansion.” He finds his mockup of the “modern fishing cabin” from 2014 and is very excited about it. He shows off mockups of ‘digital trees’ from Mumbo’s Season 6 landscaping.

2:04:00 Scar returns to Hermitcraft. He asks chat if they liked the visit to the test world, chat is enthusiastic. Scar says that sometime he will do a tour of Scarland, the survival world he built before joining any SMPs. He returns to contemplating the villain car and wants to get an evoker and/or a ravager. He is also going to build some farms under the train. He says he’s still going to build a roller-coaster in Magic Mountain even though now it’s destined for volcano-hood, and also that he’s going to add some villagers. He envisions a train barn design that houses either a super smelter or a villager trading hall.

2:08:00 Scar explains that he wants all his cars to have functions, but he is not sure of a function for the aquarium car. He solicits ideas from the chat. A chatter asks about the recording studio and Scar tells them to go watch the most recent video. A chatter suggests putting a dolphin in the aquarium car. Scar says that’s probably a bad idea. He says he may flood a portion of the land near the train to remove unused land, then terraform a new shoreline.

2:11:40 Scar returns to studio view and draws the stream to a close. He says his next step is to trigger a raid to get the ravager and evoker, and contemplates getting help from Doc, so long as Doc has his mini pizzas first this time. He admits that he’s going to need to go get new headphones and is sad about it. One headphone cup appears to be actively trying to escape his head. Scar raids into Ren and ends his stream.

Silly light headcanons because I really need them

I've been going through a very tough time and today I really need some fluff to distract myself. I hope you enjoy.

BEN teaches the older creeps that are bad with electronics how to play video games. They have creep family game nights, and the older creeps usually don't participate because they aren't as good, so BEN has been taking them aside and teaching them how to play so they can feel more confident in participating too. He never laughs or judges them for their skills, and he reminds them that the others would be happy if they participated too.

There's a game of tag that has been going on in the mansion for several years. They keep switching who the one person that's It is, but to the point that people will forget who is It. Jeff was once It for seven months, to the point nobody could remember, and he tagged Toby in the middle of dinner which caused absolute chaos. They can choose to tag someone immediately, or hold onto it and wait for a moment of surprise, but you can't tag someone who was just It on the same day, and you can't tag people when they're asleep or working. Everyone in the mansion has been It at least probably 10 times, but they keep it going because it's so amusing. Tim is currently It, and he's been It for three months. He wants to get Slender, but Slender knows this and has been careful to avoid physical contact with Tim. Tim is a patient man. He will win this.

When someone can't fall asleep due to nightmares or bad memories haunting them, they're allowed to go to Slender, and he'll play piano for them. He'll sit with them, and play whatever song they'd like so long as he knows it or can see the sheet music for it. Sometimes they'll sit there for hours, the creep leaning sleepily against Slender as he plays for them. He'll even make a delicious warm drink for them first if they request it or he feels they could benefit from it. Slender doesn't mind missing out on his own sleep, as he likes to put the residents first and foremost. When they're calmed down and drowsy enough he'll walk them back to their room, give them a hug and a pat on the head, and send them off to bed. He'll always stay awake a little while longer in case they come back to him.

Sally has started sneaking people candy. Lately, she's been using her allowance money on others, as she feels it's one of the few ways she can help out. If someone has been very down lately, she'll ask someone to run her into town, and she'll go to her favorite candy store and pick out the creep's favorite candy if she knows it, and a few things she thinks they'd like. Once home, she'll grab some stickers from her collection, and put the stickers and the candy in the creeps room for them to find later. She does this purely to try and give them a little something to brighten their days and doesn't need anything in return, although the creeps that receive these little gifts always return the favor and get something for Sally to repay her. Her gifts have often made a few of them quite emotional, and it makes them all feel quite special.

There is a shared mansion Minecraft world. They have a rule that you can't destroy things someone else builds which everyone respects, and it's become common for people to play together. Sometimes it's the whole mansion, sometimes it's just a group of them, but they all have a lot of fun exploring the world together. BEN has built the most and often volunteers to build cool houses for everyone. Jeff helps people with mining the most and if someone asks him to get a certain amount of things for them he's happy to do it. Toby and Sally are making a zoo together, collecting a bunch of animals, and making beautiful and nice places for the animals to live in. Some of the creeps play more than others, but they try at least once a month for everyone to play together, in the same room or on a call, and it always devolves into happy chaos as everyone plays in their own special ways.

Kaer Morhen plays Minecraft

(Yes I'm shamelessly borrowing @inexplicifics AWAU cast. Shhh!)

Ciri hears about Minecraft and begs, BEGS her family to play with her. Their protests fall apart like wet tissue paper.

Lambert scoffs that "it's just a kids game, no way it can be any good." To no one's surprise, he's the first person hooked.

Geralt sets out with a sword and a pickaxe and isn't seen for DAYS. When he reappears, his inventory is filled with all the rarest items. He gives them to Ciri, grunts at everyone's questions, and disappears again.

Eskel explores a bit, but then he finds a tall, snowy mountain peak with GOATS and sets up shop. And a little zoo, complete with goats, horses, and wolves. He collects every variation, naturally.

Jaskier discovers note blocks entirely on accident and begins collecting every item in the game to test their sound. He learns how to use redstone *specifically* so he can write a symphony.

Vesemir finds a tropical beach and builds himself a little hut. 90% of it is hidden underground, not that he's admitting to anything. He also cleaned out the nearby Ocean Monument.

Aiden steals a corner of Lambert's base for himself to store his junk, but spends most of his time exploring. When he discovers that he can tame both wolves and cats, he immediately begins collecting the different types. (Every wolf is OBVIOUSLY named after Lambert - Lam, Lamb, Bert, Bertie, Lambykins, etc.) He also enjoys breaking into other people's bases and leaving a sign saying only "MEOW" in glowing font.

Milena collects every flower and plant in the game and arranges a GORGEOUS garden with them. She talks Marika and Griffin into joining, and together they build a lovely cottage (re: mansion) in a forest. Milena also learns about people making custom paintings by mapping areas that they've covered in specific blocks, and begins making her own fancy tapestries.

Yennefer learns about brewing and enchantments, and sets out to collect ALL THE THINGS. Ealdred helps by setting up a village populated entirely by librarians...right next to a sugarcane farm. (He also finds a Nether fortress and brings her an entire stack of blaze rods.)

Gweld spends his time collecting enchanted weapons and armor to gift to his beloved, vicious Serrit. When he fishes up a bow enchanted with Mending, Infinity, and Flaming, she even kisses him!

The Cranes can't decide which is more fun: killing creepers for their gunpowder or experimenting with redstone. Then they discover charged creepers and everyone very sensibly walls up that meadow. Which is suddenly very...pitted.

Sasha sets up a quiet little farm and opens a zoo. Aiden brings him a pair of mooshrooms. And all the parrots he can find.

[unforth]

Son (age 8): what should I build in Minecraft?

Me: how about a zoo with auto-feeders for the animals?

Son: hmm there's only one way to do that... two of the animals stay and get bred...

Me: ... they get... fed?

Son: no. Bred.

Me: oh, like... bread??

Son: no. Bred. They breed.

Me: 😅 oh...kay...

Son: and then the other animals go into the zoo to get the food. While they breed.

Me: 😅😅😅 yeah sure that'd work!

Son: okay! I'll build that.

*he leaves the room*

Me: 😅😅😅😅😅
