Hello! Welcome to my blog! Here, I post about whatever I'm into, which is currently Minecraft: Story Mode, Project Hail Mary, Ninjago, and Markiplier!
I am an artist and writer! I also sell fan merch on my ACGGoods shop, which is linked at the end of this post!
Some AUs/Stories I have:
The Razor's Edge: A MCSM Jesskas fic that takes place three years after Season Two! Lukas-POV; involves characters from Nothing Happened AU and Bedrocked AU. Multiverse shenanigans and more lore about the Old Builders! Tag: the razor's edge
Nothing Happened AU: A MCSM AU that is Jesskas-centric! Takes place in a world where Ivor's plan to expose the Order worked, and the Witherstorm never happened. Jesskas rivalry and slice-of-life! Tag: nothing happened au
Bedrocked AU: A MCSM AU that is also Jesskas-centric. In this AU, Jesse loses the fight against Romeo in the Terminal Space, and the world is buried in bedrock. Jesse has to keep his city together in a dying world while trying to find a way to finally defeat Romeo. More angsty than TRE and Nothing Happened. Tag: bedrocked au
Master of Death AU: A Ninjago AU where Enemy Lloyd is revealed to be the Master of Death in the Rite of Unrooting. He and Lloyd have to learn to work together as the Masters of Life and Death, and the rest of the ninja have to adapt to a new, snarky, edgy Lloyd. Tag: master of death au
Fyrnacx Rambles: I also answer asks about these AUs and stuff in general (whatever people ask me lol, mostly MCSM)! Tag: fyrnacx rambles
Shop Detail
**ACGGoods handles merch production and shipping, so if you ever have a problem with your order, you can contact them directly via their customer service email on their website! I sadly cannot do much :(. However, I’ve bought many things from them, and they’ve been very reliable in my experience!
I know I mainly post about MCSM, but I have a new AU that I've been kicking around in my head for a bit, this time about Ninjago! (Hopefully this hasn't been done before lol)
The general premise of the AU is this: During the Rite of Unrooting to save the Whispering Wood, Lloyd meets another, darker version of himself. Turns out that yes, he is too old for the ritual, his roots too established. He cannot learn the final power of the Element of Life: the power to take it away, to cull roots that can no longer go on. The power of death.
Because of his inability to claim the last power of the Master of Life, the Temple of Unrooting devises its own solution: it creates a copy of Lloyd, one meant to house the power of death. This is Enemy Lloyd.
Lloyd realizes that although he technically failed the Rite of Unrooting, he can still combine forces with this new Lloyd to use the full power of the Element of Life. He convinces Enemy Lloyd to save the Whispering Wood with him, and together they unlock the dragon forms. (they also defeat Beatrix too but idrc about her so-)
Now, the ninja have to contend with two Lloyds, one they know, and one they trust as far as they can throw Riyu. However, Enemy Lloyd, now named Floyd (I CANNOT think of another name I like for him), slowly manages to settle down with the ninja and becomes part of the main cast :)
And yes, this is all because those six minutes with Enemy Lloyd at the end of NDR S4 PT1 were the BEST PART OF THE SEASON besides Jaya and Zane.
hey I have a couple of questions if you don't mind about mcsm.
What is your favorite jesse? (For example, red suspenders or green suspenders)?
2. Do you feel like Jesse Axel and Olivia were wasted as a trio?
I personally feel like they were and thought they should've been seen more together as a trio more often.
One: I love all Jesses, but the one I draw and relate to the most is red suspenders Jesse! He's the Jesse that I picked when I first played MCSM at like, ten years old, and he just stuck with me!
Two: Ultimately, yeah. I agree with you. They were great in episode 1, but after that were kind of underutilized. It would've been awesome to see them work well as a trio within the main cast, but unfortunately, that didn't happen. I feel like seeing more of them would have made me feel more attached. Don't get me wrong; I LOVE Axel and Olivia, but I'm not as attached to them as, say, Petra, Lukas, and Ivor, simply because they didn't have a lot of screen time. I personally don't mind that they weren't in the second half of Season One (bc I love Portal crew lol), but it would've been more balanced if the first half actually focused more on Axel and Olivia. It would also have made their appearance in episode 8 much more hard-hitting. As for Season Two: yeah they were so sidelined it's crazy. Even if they didn't go on the main adventure with Jesse (bc I understand having a lot of characters in the main cast is hard to work with), it would've been nice to have a few cutscenes of them meeting Romeo and realizing something is wrong with their friend.
question about the bedrocking AU, are the beacons in beacontown still lit? in normal minecraft logic a solid block obscuring a beacon from the sun deactivates it, but it's also a beacon made from the witherstorm star so I was curious!
I imagine both as interesting visuals, one as total despair, the namesake of the last bastion of civilization in a collapsing world being snuffed out.
or the other as a literal beacon of hope, guiding refugees to a safe haven in a dimension of total chaos.
I absolutely love your work!!! your storylines are super interesting and you characterize everyone so perfectly it feels official. I can easily read each character as their voice without the name even needing to be attached because of how perfectly in line it is.
This is a rough mock-up of what I imagine Beacontown to look like amongst the gloom. ^^^
That's a super good question; honestly, I had NO idea about beacons needing the sun to work, which is pretty fake-fan of me /j
However, I think the beacons are still lit, for the exact reason you mentioned! Although it's been a long time since the world was buried alive, and almost every major settlement and civilization has crumbled in the face of anarchy, Beacontown still stands, defiant against the harsh tide of chaos. That isn't to say it hasn't changed, because it has: its walls have been reinforced with deepslate and obsidian, the vast pit around it wards off intruders on foot, and the people inside are well-versed in combat by necessity. It's harsher, more ruthless, but no less kind to people who need it. Its beacons remain lit, all these years later, as a symbol of hope, of old, of what used to be and still remains.
The tower rising above it serves multiple purposes. One, it's a great vantage point for lookouts and archers so that the town can be warned of potential attackers as early as possible. It stands imposingly, warning others that Beacontown, while welcoming to refugees and people seeking safe harbor, is no less capable of taking down anybody who goes against them. It also serves as a reminder of the person responsible for their eternal night, the Admin, sworn enemy of all people, who left them to rot for the sunshine above.
Thank you for telling me that fact about the beacons, though, because now I'm thinking it might be really cool for them to be temporarily snuffed out at some point in the story to symbolize Jesse's and his friends' loss of hope! I imagine that over time, the beacons have become the one thing about their world that hasn't changed, and that brings the inhabitants of Beacontown immense comfort. Their going out would have a devastating effect on morale, I imagine.
And, if the beacons being powered by the witherstorm star allow them to persist even without the sun's light, who knows what else the star's power could do when properly harnessed...many things to think about!!
Thank you very much for this ask! I'm so happy to hear that you enjoy my stories and aus! :) I haven't talked about this au as much as my others, so it was really fun to write about!!
I feel like grace was in such a rush to turn that ship around and hightail it back to rocky that he was indiscriminate about what data he sent back. just shoved it all into the beetle probes, just to realize ‘ok so 20% of that data is scientific breakthroughs to save the world……..80% me and rocky’s movie reviews. and I def forgot to delete the fifteen minute long dance off. hm.’
OF COURSE! Thank you for asking :D Here are some more tidbits about it!
Technically, the Nothing Happens AU is related to two of my other AUs: The Razor's Edge (TRE) and Bedrocked! They're all going to be fics (and the occasional scribble I post here) in a series called Universal Constants! They are all mostly standalone, but both Nothing Happened and Bedrocked will have minor references to TRE!
VVV Okay, now onto actual AU story-stuff. VVV
Since Ivor's Witherstorm demonstration actually went according to plan, the cast's town (which I call Warrior's Keep) remains intact. Only the town hall is destroyed, but it's nothing that a couple of days of hard work can't fix. However, the damage wrought to the Order of the Stone's reputation is irreparable. Magnus and Ellegaard don't suffer from Ivor's reveal too harshly because they have proven their abilities to their towns' residents, but they still face a massive loss of trust. Soren, in his isolation, doesn't know and doesn't care about it, lmao. Gabriel, who doesn't have a town of his own and relies the most on his reputation as a member of the Order, suffers the most. The Order admits its lie and devotes itself to regaining people's trust. It's a slow journey, but public opinion regarding them slowly increases over time.
The Witherstorm and subsequent uproar about the Order of the Stone does have one positive effect, however: it brings Endercon into the limelight. Originating as a small, local competition for the residents of Warrior's Keep, Endercon rapidly increases in popularity and size as more people become aware of it. After several years, it becomes Warrior's Keep's biggest event and the most famous festival for thousands of blocks. Thus, its building competition has become WAY more serious than it used to be. That's why Jesse and his crew are so intense about it. Over the years, they've refined their building technique and become one of the best teams in the area, but they always fall behind the Ocelots, who have easily become one of the most popular teams in the competition.
Over time, the Fellowship of the Pig's (hastily renamed after the Witherstorm fiasco) feud with the Ocelots becomes increasingly polarized. The Fellowship begins to think of the Ocelots as their worst enemies rather than people in their own right (and, to be fair, the Ocelots still bully them mercilessly, so that thought process is not entirely unwarranted). After the events of TRE (my Jesskas fic featuring Jesse, Axel, Olivia, and Reuben from the Nothing Happened AU), the Fellowship begins to see the Ocelots (particularly Lukas and Aiden) in a new light. Aiden turns out to just be a dick in their universe (I haven't decided if he'll change in the Nothing Happened AU, but I'm leaning towards making him an antagonist), but Lukas turns out to be more complex than Jesse thought, and the two start to develop a strange relationship that only increases in complexity and tension as Endercon slowly approaches.
I'm not sure how their relationship starts and develops, but it will be facilitated by the Endercon building competition! I think, in the end, Lukas will withdraw from the Ocelots, leading Aiden to rebrand the Ocelots as the Blaze Rods. The Fellowship of the Pig ends up winning the competition for the first time in ten years! I don't know if Lukas will join them for the competition, though; it would be nice to have him work WITH them instead of AGAINST them, but I also want the Fellowship's success to be entirely because of their own hard work, not because they got a new member. Maybe he could give them tips, or help them train and battle Aiden's incessant torment.
Even though I'm still uncertain on specifics, I DO want Jesse and Lukas to strike up a friendship (and maybe even something more!) while trying to keep their friends from finding out. Jesse and his friends are strolling through town, and Axel and Olivia start trashing Lukas and the Ocelots, and Jesse is just like, "Yeah... no, yeah, I totally agree..." while thinking about Lukas' brilliant blue eyes or something like that.
Little note about Petra: she is not a part of the Fellowship nor the Ocelots/Blaze Rods. She is a neutral party between the two groups and often supplies them with hard-to-get building supplies. This results in occasional arguments between Petra and her friends, but she firmly maintains this boundary. In her eyes, she's not letting a stupid competition stand between her and her friendships, even if it does make those friendships difficult to manage sometimes. She is a good source of advice and often offers a listening ear to Jesse and Lukas throughout the story!
Another side note: I'm not sure how heavily the Portal Network + Season 2 characters will feature in this story. I imagine Jack and Nurm or Ivor could have eventually found the Portal Network, but without a major hero arising post-Witherstorm, Romeo has nobody to give his gauntlet to, and thus S2 never happens. I don't have a good reason why Ivor would feature in this story yet, but I am determined to come up with one; I love him too much to exclude him from anything.
Overall, the plot of this AU will center on Jesskas and be much fluffier and lighthearted than TRE and Bedrocked! It's definitely the slice-of-life comedy story of the three of them. They're kind of a spectrum when you put them all together: Nothing Happened on the comedy side, Bedrocked on the angsty side, and TRE in the action-adventure middle! This isn't to say that Nothing Happened won't have any angst--because it definitely will--but that won't be the overall feel of the story. :)
Again, thank you very much for the ask! I hope this answer was what you hoped for! I'm ALWAYS down to ramble about my AU's lol!! For you and everyone else, never hesitate to send me an ask! It might take me a while because I forget the inbox feature exists, but I WILL get to you eventually! <3
every once in a while i get a lil inactive on here bc i get interested in other things (like ninjago and project hall mary and iron lung lol) but i always come back to mcsm because I LOVE IT I LOVE MINECRAFT STORY MODE I LOVE IT SO MUCH
