the party playing minecraft together :)) also i miss stranger things :(
----------------
modern au btw but like college age
during the first year at college, everyone started getting gaming consoles
dustin has a pimped out pc that he built himself
mike & lucas have ps5
max & will have xbox
and jane has an old ps4
their world is named 'the upside down'
will builds everyones houses & focuses on making a village for the party to live in
he barely goes mining, and has a low af xp level
which mike 10000% makes fun of him for
mike & lucas are both mining constantly
and they are fighting bosses, looking for ancient cities and trial chambers, and massacre-ing villages
as helpful as it is, the constant yelling at each other to help because the other is dying, is getting annoying
lucas is like a half a heart, and mike is fucking around looking for diamonds
"chill, i'll be there in a second," "MIKE IM FUCKING DYING"
max on the other hand is across the map for funsies
she just wants to goooooo bro
she doesn't want to settle down (even though will made her a beautiful house) she needs to fill out the empty maps she has
she does bring back the random shit will needs for building, or the flowers jane really wants
if shes in their village, it's because she has a bunch of villagers she kidnapped to trade with
she also trades with the piglins in the nether
god forbid she's in the nether with mike & lucas though
she'll be trying to go somewhere & then gets thrown into lava by tnt exploding
they just need more netherite!!
dustin already finished the game actually
he's been ahead of them
but now he's just making redstone creations & making automatic farms
he's also online alllll night
someone else joins at a reasonable time and is like "dustin wtf are you doing on here???"
he's like 5 redbulls in "im telling you this farm is gonna save soooo much time"
but he also is getting better grades in school than all of them ??? so no one really questions it
jane is getting used to video games still and minecraft is weird to her
she loves it, but the motions give her motion sickness after a while
she's collecting everything though
flowers, animals, the patterened pots, everythingggg
she's got a beautiful farm with every color of sheep
and multiple flower fields
she refuses to go into the nether, all she needs is in the overworld fr
will tries to get johnathan to play with everyone and he's all like "i dont think i like looking at a screen for that long'
so they go to steve next, who ofc is down, but then johnathan is like 'fuck it i guess ill play'
they were on the party's world for a little bit, but then moved to 1v1 pvp maps to compete
steve also has his own world where he is trying to get every achievement available
robin also tries to play and she just can'tttttt get ahold of the whole survival thing
constantly falling off cliffs, drowning in lava, getting killed by baby zombies
but when dustin is like finally confused about a redstone thing, she understands whats happening now
everyone pretty much plays for like a few months before moving onto another video game, but they will keep coming back to minecraft every so often, get obsessed, then forget again lmao

it's been a min frrrr yall, but im still upset about season 5 of stranger things, and i hope the fandom is still alive enough for people to like this!!
Real romance is when a guy (who has a vegeta skin on) watches you get bitch slapped by a horror mob on Minecraft,,, changes his skin to super Saiyan Vegeta, then screams "THATS MY BULMAAA" and runs outside
(he got his shit rocked by it but it's okay I love him anyways and he's the sweetest ever)
