pt 1: tigers & locked tomb au

lyctorhood suited lottie poorly.

i went a little off the rails and wrote a short locked tomb au for lottie & famous 😔 this is one of my fave fics of the year i think. famous & lottie siblings forever btw.

spoilers for gideon the ninth's ending

lottie ceilingfan (lovelot triskelion) & famous: 3rd house

Lyctorhood suited Lovelot Trikahelion poorly. It roiled in aer like the whiskey ae learned Famous loved to drink too deeply. It was a furious thing, a despairing thing. Lyctorhood was Famous Trise in all their wretched, blazing glory, screaming and railing as they locked themselves in the cage of Lottie's eyes.

Lovelot was named for aer eyes- rose pink and numinous, fitting for the heir of the Third House. And now the sloe-eyed pink is frosted in Famous' pale grey, deepening, no- pulsating around the aorta of aer pupils.

And it's true- it is Famous' uncanny eyes that flit about the Gentle Emperor's ship. It is Famous' surety pressed between aer palms and the handles of their hatchets, their rank disrespect needled through their aer teeth when the Emperor Undying turns his kind face towards aer.

Quiet, quiet, Lottie begs for the first, for the ninth, for the infinitely many times since ae had pinned their heart down. Pressed Famous between aer molars and down aer esophagus, held them in aer guts until Lottie had reconstructed two into one. Infinite, because everyday ae wished they would stop speaking from aer own nerves and sinew, and come from beside aer instead. The first because Lovelot will take it back each time, because this is the closest ae will have to their viper tongue and sharp wit. Because Famous had given to themselves to aer- not to the Emperor Undying, not as the shining dead of the Third House nor to the promises to Queen Melusine Trihelia of the Third House. To Lottie, and even if it had been the hardest thing, it had been the surest thing. Their sister, in all but name. Aer brother, in all but name.

Their spirit roiled and heaved, because Famous could not stop themselves, even if it was sorry for the wretchedness it seeded in their necromancer. Famous stomped to their death, wretched and sure and Lottie walks into lyctorhood the same way, carrying two hearts on the pink of aer tongue.

Hello blaseball tumblr. it's missing blaseball o'clock. did you know time is fake bc it's been THREE YEARS since I animated this Lottie Ceilingfan & Famous Owens video :)

[leonstamatis]

Requesting fic recs for quiet tragedies and intimate character studies. Preferably minimal focus on romance. I quite enjoy studies of mechanics as they correlate to narrative.

(send me a vibe and i’ll give you a blaseball fic reading list!)

all right. so i spent quite a bit of time on this one, but it is in no way comprehensive. there are tons of character studies in this fandom, and heaps of tragedies. also not usually a huge focus on romance in blaseball, especially post-discipline, although it’s certainly out there.

i tried to keep the characters varied and limit it to just one per author, but with most of these, if you like the one i’ve linked i can vouch for there being many more from the same person worth checking out. let’s get going.

“Agency” by kfrunt is what I would call quiet, although less of a tragedy or game mechanics. This is a Fall Ball-era fic looking at Wyatt Mason IV (Ivy) and Conditional Yuniesky, both of whom are struggling with their new worlds in different ways. It’s a good introduction to Conditional Yuniesky, and Ivy is a good introduction to the Wyatts as a whole, if you’re into that. They’re a whole little pocket of Blaseball fic that has plenty to comb through.

“dead mans party” by impernia is a look at how players mourn their lost teammates, particularly the Seattle Garages. It’s also a good look at the kind of person Arturo Huerta is, and from there, impern has a number of fics about both the Garages and their dead that hit this same vibe.

“F. All of the Above” by QueenEevee is certainly a tragic character study, looking at Hiroto Wilcox following Ruby Tuesday. It’s noteworthy less because of subject matter — if you want Ruby Tuesday content, there’s no shortage — but more because of the formatting. The way this fic approaches the loss knocks the wind out of me. A quick read, but a memorable one.

“the first dream” by swordfall is a look at Lottie Ceilingfan’s meteoric rise to fame and subsequent Ego status. If you don’t know Lottie, it’s a great introduction to her. It’s also a great introduction to what it was like on the Hades Tigers during the Expansion Era. A little less on the tragedy side, but there’s some mechanics and some creeping horror at the awareness of what’s to come.

“for agony i’d rather know” by novelsinourheads is a fantastic example of a character study that leans into the inherent weirdness of blaseball without getting too wacky with it. I’m a known Gerund Pantheocide liker and supporter, so it’s unsurprising to me that this one sticks in my brain, but Stara has dozens more character studies — many of which have an interesting and haunting approach to loss and tragedy, and all of which are well worth looking at.

“forever in a day” by paopuleaf is another Wyatt fic, but it’s also about the Vault, but it’s also about hauntings and ghosts and what it means to exist when you shouldn’t anymore. Atti is excellent at writing fics with a melancholy and lost sort of air, and this one is no exception.

“growing pains” by waveridden is a personal favorite of mine. it’s a little longer than a lot of the options on this list, but it’s worth the time and the effort. The fic as a whole is about a lot of things, mainly Gloria Bugsnax and xyr attempt to learn both humanity and family, and it makes me cry every time. There’s some game mechanics, because Hayden always includes those, but mostly it’s a look at Gloria and all the people xe loves.

“I thought i heard your laughter” by cedardivine is a fun one, honestly. Megan Ito exists in a lot of variations and I think everyone has a different take on them and who and how they are, but I like the idea that New Megan is just lurking around behind them. A character study with tragedy and game mechanics just off to the side, and a quick read besides.

“A Quick Guide to Unscattering in 8 Easy Steps” by Moondragon8 hits, I think, just about every note you’ve asked for. An interesting take on scattered players and their recovery, a look at Schneider Bendie as a character and what happens when you’re traded to a new team, and a creeping awareness that things aren’t as they should be. If you can’t tell, I love this one dearly.

“sequels” by waltztangocache similarly approaches a mechanic by way of an impacted player. I love the way Hen writes about the Ambush, and this look at Tom Kirby and what his life is like after revival. There’s a series of fics connected to this one, so if you like it, there’s more. I will admit I like Kirby best — but everything here is a great time.

“The Short (But Not Insignificant) ILB Career of Kiki Familia” by cyndakip is one that I think gets passed around a ton? But that’s because it’s good. Kiki wasn’t here for long at all, but you can tell from this that she was immediately loved by her team and the fans of said team, and her death is in fact a tragedy by its very nature. This is Discipline Era lore, so you know it hurts (positive).

“spend my days in gray” by birdlord5000 is like. THE Donia Bailey fic, to me? I didn’t know much about the player lore beforehand, but this fic cemented Donia as a deeply beloved of mine. It’s quiet, it’s a character study, it’s about what it’s like to be shadowed for years and years before being stolen by a Thieves Guild, and it’s honestly a lot of fun. Not a tragedy, but damn good.

“strange to be shaped by such strange men” by baliset is… agh. Remember when York Silk was incinerated, and the entire fandom ground to a halt as we tried to grapple with that? I do! It was a lot! And Marn captured the feelings of the moment to a T. It’s set in the Hall and features a lot of beloved dead guys, and I love how York is characterized here. Marn has tons of great fics worth reading; this is up there as one of my favorite ones, though.

“the sun selecting targets” by indigostohelit is the only Jaylen and Mike fic i am going to recommend to you. But. There are so many. It’s just that the narration in this one is incredible, and I think about it often. It’s got a lot about the original necromancy and the shadowing of Mike Townsend, which I know we’ve all heard about by now and et cetera, but. God it’s so good.

“there beneath” by haunthouse! Another Wyatt fic! This one is about Wyatt Mason VI, or Violet. I will admit to being biased toward this one because it includes the Boston Flowers, my team of choice for almost the entirety of Blaseball’s run. But like. If you want tragedy, and you want game mechanics, the Wyatts tend to be a good starting place. They often die at the end.

“there’s no weather at all” by mantisqueer is a sleeper fave that I was delighted to rediscover today. Nothing like a Neerie McCloud fic to make you sad about players doomed from the very start. Moth does a really good job here at characterizing being Elsewhere; it’s one of my favorite interps, although I would encourage you to mind the CWs.

and that’s what I have! there are plenty more I would direct you to, but most of them are by someone(s) already listed here. so if one of the ones i’ve listed stands out, i would encourage you to check the author’s page and see what else they have. have fun!!!

Super Idol (March 19th 2022)

I wanted to show Lottie's more anxious side, inspired by her origin as part of the shadows' hivemind, Lottie both wants not to be noticed but her Super Idol mod gives her away. Lottie's design by @/miasmajesties on twitter / @/sanfranciscolovers on tumblr.

[queen-eevee]

dealer's choice for character + earsplitting?

I have no idea when this takes place, this is very silly and 100% not supposed to be taken seriously, I just think they're neat <3

Hiroto scrunches her nose into a displeased crinkle.

“Am I doing this right?”

She pokes at the phone in her hands like it might attack her if provoked. Brock sits to her right, watching with a careful eye. He thinks whoever gave her the phone must be either very smart or must know their captain very well to have had the forethought to apply a screen protector before leaving it in her care, seeing how she taps at the glass with more claw than finger pad. He nods sagely when she finally presses with enough of her finger for the phone to register her tapping, and the camera app blinks open.

“Oh my god, it worked,” she breathes. Hiroto tilts the phone back and forth in her hands, her face flashing in and out of the camera’s frame as she peers around the sides and then flips to the back. “How do you…?”

Brock holds out a hand in offer and Hiroto places the phone in his palm, eyes wide and brimming with excitement. He lowers the phone until both he and Hiroto’s faces can fit into the vertical frame, the light haloing the backs of their heads, and motions for Hiroto to click the white button towards the bottom.

“Smile first,” he says. Hiroto’s face splits into a wide grin and she leans in closer to the camera. It takes her a couple attempts before the camera finally snaps, but when it does, she snatches back the phone and clicks on the little square at the bottom where the picture seemed to leap into.

“Oh. OH! Look!” Elated, Hiroto turns the phone towards Brock and gestures at the picture she’s pulled up on the screen. Sure, it’s a little blurry, and their faces are cast in shadow, and the half of Hiroto’s face that’s in frame covers everything below Brock’s nose, but it looks similar to the photos Brock takes. She’s a natural.

He gives her a thumbs up. Hiroto beams.

“NOOOOOOOO!”

Brock and Hiroto’s heads nearly collide when they whip their heads towards the earsplitting cry and see Lottie standing in the doorway, holding what looks like an empty phone case in one hand and her own phone in the other. Lottie begins to all but sprint towards Brock and Hiroto as Dunn appears arounds the corner, gasping when she lays eyes on the two of them.

“Hiroto, forget anything you just learned,” she mock-whispers, with what sounds like real horror in her voice. Lottie, meanwhile, skids to a halt at the foot of the couch and drops everything to grab the phone from Hiroto, who makes an offended noise in protest.

“Hey!”

“Ohmigod, noooooo," Lottie groans, cradling her face with her other hand. She looks genuinely distraught. Judging by the confused look Hiroto gives Brock, neither of them understand why.

“Dunn, we’re too late.”

3k, Famous Owens & Tigers

The world starts to end (again) and Famous, unwillingly, is not alone in it.

(—or; Famous & Lottie, Hiroto, Dunlap and Scorpler in Season 24)

[majestic-salad]

Zion Aliciakeyes and Lottie Ceilingfan aquarium date we love to see it

[leonstamatis]

Lottie does not think about Famous. Not the way they call out to her, the way their face changes colors and paints and creatures every five minutes – and normally she wouldn’t mind it, but she knows what’s behind now. Lottie knows Famous’ smile, and their eyes, and she knows without question that they are terrified if only because they let her see so much.

Lottie does not manage to hit anything for the rest of the game. She barely manages to catch the ball when it comes toward her. But she runs, as fast and as much as she can.

(A look at Famous' swap to and from the Jazz Hands on Season 23, Day 95.)
