#Bluey corporate mascots

Check-out Details @ Hammerbarn

I always like how even small scenes/bits in “Bluey” incorporate a lot of detail. The scene with the nice check-out lady packs in a couple of details.

There are diamond-shaped illuminated checkout number signs at Hammerbarn, just like the real-life Bunnings has.

Nitpick: Note the weird Hammerbarn point-of-sale terminal / computer, the keyboard has a space bar on the number row, and the number keys only go one through seven. Also: gift cards.

By the checkouts, there is a storage rack holding small and medium-sized boxes for reuse (to take purchases home in, instead of plastic bags). This is handy; boxes like this are also very useful if you’re moving.

Big stores always have loads of boxes from suppliers; they could just be bundled for recycling but letting the public use them is nice.

Here in Canada, some supermarkets do this.

Note also: reusable bags for sale

Toy Mascots

Looks like Hammerbarn has a beaver in a work apron for a mascot. Bunnings has a bear-in-a-work-apron mascot, Home Depot in North America also has a mascot sporting a work apron (Homer D. Poe), and in Canada we used to have a chain called Beaver Lumber, and they had a beaver-in-overalls mascot named Joe Beaver.

15, 20 and 32 for the blaseball ask game

15. character you hate for NO reason

lots of the players i hate i hate for perfectly good reasons, thank you very much! but for no reason... hmmm...

i'm gonna go with Brisket Friendo. i kinda have reasons, but most of them are factors of personal taste, and listing them feels against the spirit of this question. all i'll say is: you know when food is so sweet, it's disgusting? Brisket feels like that to me. way too cute for my liking.

that being said there IS an IRM of Brisket that some of my friends proposed that i am in love with (eldritch fursuit that mimics the appearance of dead players <3) but you know. definitely not the Primary interpretation.

20. stupid character lore concept that lives in your head rent free

ok are we talking like. actual players? or ideas for players that haven't been used yet. because i can probably answer for both.

for actual, real players, i think Slosh Truk's whole "cursed to be a RADICAL corporate mascot whenever xe plays blaseball" schtick is ridiculously stupid, ridiculously funny, and also very fucked up whenever you think about it too hard. love it. <3

might also be able to count a solid chunk of Nanci Grackle's lore, though not all of that is as core to his character concept if that makes sense? nanci grackle is a ridiculous character but so much of that is just the force of his personality -- having this pompous, egotistical mad scientist is just so so fun, especially when you pair them with more grounded characters. i think Niq Nyong'o/Nanci Grackle is one of my favorite character pairings in all of blaseball.

a stupid idea i've bounced around in my mind is "two people that legally count as one player because they are holding hands" but idk how much i'd actually like that as a player's lore in practice, you know?

32. the estimated number of people you’ve gotten into blaseball

uhhhh what counts as "into blaseball"! because there's people i've gotten into blaseball who are like, actual Blaseball Fans now, and people who mostly hear about blaseball from me but like hearing me rambling on about it.

so there are two people i know for a fact i got into blaseball, and those are my girlfriend, and bluey. one of my best friends, i talk to pretty frequently about it, and i'd estimate about five more are interested in what i have to say whenever i bring it up? i'll say 8, but i think that's lowballing it.
