#can you tell I like baseball

[ggothamite]

okay here’s my justification. under the cut because it’s very long

cassie - strong arm, good coordination, great reflexes. first basemen tend to be pretty friendly too, as they interact with the opposing team the most. for hitting, i think she she’d have a really strong hit and probably be one of their better hitters. like she’d def hit dingers. i was debating on shortstop for her too, but i’m pretty confident with first baseman

kon - obviously one of the biggest/strongest on the team. i fear pitchers are also known for having a slight ego too. he definitely has a strong arm and would be able to be unpredictable enough to be a solid pitcher. obvi he has a good arm, so he’d be dh too. because i said so. his walk up song probably slaps too.

ray - i’m not going to lie, i love ray, but i primarily put him here because i needed a ninth player whoops. tbh i think he could fit in any role, but i ended up with right fielder because he has a good arm, pretty tall, can move quick. strongest arm in outfield i think. i would’ve put him down for first base but cassie fits it better. he’d be a great hitter though. probably a new trade to the team, so no one really knows him lmfao

tim - quick reflexes, fast thinking, sharp mind are like the catchers traits to me, so tim kind of just slotted in perfectly. he’d be so great at double and/or triple plays fr. idk if he’d be a super strong hitter, but he’d be at stealing bases methinks. he’s probably pitched before too. no clue why! he’s also definitely gotten hit by pitches before.

bart - he’s fast. a speedy guy. center field covers the most area on the whole field, so center fielders gotta be quick. only worry would be him getting distracted but like that seems like an actual center fielder problem. hed 100% be a pinch runner. best base runner ever. i also think he’d be decent at batting. like he def bunts sometimes.

anita - fav ever. i’m going to be honest, i don’t have a specific reason for this, except for the tension between second base and shortstop LMFAO. but she’d be so good, great athletic skills and great directing skills. a strong arm too. i think she’d also be great at third base? but i like shortstop for her. batting wise, i think she moves around the lineup. like i wouldn’t be shocked if she had off days where she hits nothing and then hits a dinger the next game.

slobo - strong, good reflexes, fearless when chasing the ball. once again, i needed someone to put here, and i think he’d be good at it. like anita, i think he’d be a decent batter, definitely moving around the lineup. has definitely caught a ball from midair too. i think it would be funny

cissie - she’s a good player, but not good enough to play shortstop. tbh i wanted tension between her and anita because i eat that up i fear. super precise throws, quick on her feet, and she’d definitely be able to make plans quick. i don’t think she’d be the greatest batter (per the yj98 issue), but i definitely think she’s underestimated and has hit on multiple occasions. she probably hits a mean bunt too.

greta - love her, but i don’t think she’s be great. she’d be really good at situational plays. left fielders are also known to be a little strange and unusual, so i think that would work for her too. i also think she’d be able to be a decent left fielder, probably has very accurate throws. also she’d probably have worst batting average i think. sorry!

anyways that’s all folks. if you disagree, feel free to i made these assumptions from watching baseball a ton. obviously they wouldn’t be playing these positions all the time as the lineup could switch and they could be out somewhere else, but this is what i’d imagine to be the most typical one. red tornado is the manager too btw.

fuck it yj98 baseball lineup

cassie - first basemen

kon - designated hitter/pitcher

ray - right fielder

tim - catcher

bart - center fielder

anita - shortstop

slobo - third basemen

cissie - second baseman

greta - left fielder

i think a really great aspect of oofuri is how much it gets mihashi's ass for being overly timid and dependent. it would be really easy to write off the way he and abe interact as being abe's fault because he is overbearing, and a lot of people do, but it has some really great moments of going "hey, you cannot hide behind abe or depend on him to make every decision. it's not good for you, or him, or the team."

aa i think you asked for requests? HATZGANG PLZ- AND/OR SUSIE

According to my inbox this ask was submitted on May 24th 2023, but it first appeared in my inbox just yesterday. You said on your blog that you recently got un-shadowbanned so that might be the reason

Anyways here's some Hatzgang + Susie drawings I did today whilst playing the Telltale Sam & Max games, took me about 2 hours but I like them (except for Ross, I'm not good at drawing him for some reason)

Next up is Finn Blake, our resident final boy, baseball player and resident necromancer!!

I was really worried I made Finn look too old for his age as a 13 to 14 year old, but I decided to just go with it because I already headcannon Finn as really tall so if he looks older I’m really sorry,

But anyway, in this au Finn is a necromancer (and later I’ll have to outline the rules and logics behind this) but after his kidnapping and him killing the Grabber he gained a lot of confidence and self worth.

I headcannon that before the reason why Finn never really stood up for himself was because he was scared and that he felt it was just better to take it than create more trouble as he has seen what standing up to an abuser does (I.e. the scene with Gwen and her dad.) he felt it just wasn’t worth it to get hurt more for being defiant.

And sadly only after his kidnapping, realized that he can’t do that anymore because being complacent in one’s abuse isn’t worth it, that it’s better to be loud and defiant then to just keep taking the punches.

However no matter how confident Finn is now he still has trauma, he never lets any of the ghost boys leave anywhere alone and neither does he, he always manages to keep a baseball bat on his person, and lastly the night terrors.

Finn has nightmares of those dying, he dreams he never left that basement, that Griffin and Robin and all the boys were still dead, he dreams of the Grabber somehow learning about Gwen and killing her. It scared him, it leaves him rushing into one of his siblings rooms to check on them.

And Finn is also the resident shoulder to lean on, he gave the boys life again and saw them at their literal lowest and saw their traumas laid out, the boys trust him a lot. For some it’s easier to come to him but for others it’s harder and Finn knows this because somehow he can always tell.

Overall Finn is a clever, sweet, confident young kid who tries to help the people he cares about.

its been like a year since ivan got taken behind the woodshed but he's still in my heart

[thatchaotictiefling]

OH WAIT I FORGOT TO POST THIS!

I title this: Smoking is cool and all 7 year olds should try it.

My DND OC Violet (shadow monk/rogue) in a baseball pinup sort of vibe, I'm obsessed with her. Heavily inspired by my time in the TF2 fandom and a certain type of scout art.

Violet hits things with a stick until they die too, so it kinda fits lmao. I may do more inspired by other TF2 classes? We will see.

i love the comments on the latest chapter of the path to paradise where people are like 'akutagawa leave those crabs alone!'

because that's something I do

literally traveling the world's oceans, harassing all of God's crustaceans

for example took a weekend trip with my partner for our 6 year wedding anniversary a few days ago and spent a solid multiple hours searching for and harassing crabs

here is photo evidence of the largest and most in-chargest one I found:

if a right-handed animorph morphed a left-handed person (or vice versa), would they still be right-handed?

Hmmmmm. Someone who knows more kinesiology than me will probably disagree, but. I'd venture: if Cassie's a lefty and morphs Rachel who's a righty, then she'd probably have a stronger right than left hand in that morph, but might be better at doing things lefthanded than real-Rachel would. If someone throws a baseball at Cassie-in-morph, she'll be faster at getting her left hand up to catch it than real-Rachel would be and clumsier at actually catching it than unmorphed-Cassie would be.

Based on what little I do know, handedness is very set in most adults but more flexible the younger a kid is, and some people are more flexible than others. For example, a lot of kids switch between hands when first learning to write, and the practice of teachers simply telling everyone to use their right hands led a decent percent of kids with potential for left-hand dominance or ambidexterity to spend so much time writing righty they eventually became right-hand dominant over the years. There are also people like me who are right-hand dominant but can comfortably eat/clean/throw lefty if needed, and even write neatly with the off hand. There are also people like my former roomie who can't even get a good grip on a pen or spoon with their left hands, no matter what. There are even people like my uncle who - following a bout of meningitis, or possibly the anesthesia during surgery - switch hand dominance as teenagers.

So. I think lefty-Cassie's mind would be used to doing things lefty, and would have the potential to teach a Rachel-morph to become more ambidextrous over many many hours. But I also think righty-Rachel's physical brain would have more circuits connecting the pathways for doing things righty, and more muscle memory for being righty. And if Cassie used that morph enough, she might become an eensy bit more ambidextrous over the first several years' worth of morph time. But it'd probably depend on whether either of them has my style of hand dominance (where I'll eat or write lefty any time my right hand's occupied) or my roomie's style (where the left hand is barely used) or somewhere in between.

i love that we have an actual mini orioles community on this website now. just a few months ago my fields were barren and my crops were dying but now we get to be miserable together

[muirneach]

this list is fucking insane sorry

[memorys-skyscraper]

saw this on twitter and immediately had so many thoughts

probably a good time, rikiya would be watching romcoms and crying the entire flight but haruka and nishiki would be playing madlibs or looking up their astrology charts or w/e and itd be cute

yamai probably smells overwhelmingly of cigarettes and/or like an old man's closet but he'd mind his own business, normal flight

daigo would be turned around talking to mine and occasionally starting shit with ryuji the whole flight, annoying

adachi and ichiban would be playing flick football the first half of the flight and youd get hit by the little paper football like every 4 minutes, ichi would apologize every time and invite you to play and also offer to share snacks. when they both end up falling asleep adachi snores like a motherfucker. depends on your noise tolerance/if you like flick football

shinada's either writing up articles for work super last minute and is therefore looking pics of tits & ass with no regard for the fact that he's in public, or he's watching live baseball and yelling at the screen, while tanimura watches 11 episodes of law and order: svu in a row. depends on your tolerance for whatever shinada's doing/how well you fit in the middle seat given shinada's build

akiyama gets up constantly to both annoy kiryu and to just walk the aisle and spy on other people's business, kiryu's playing the in-flight trivia game the whole way and gets way too into it but will leave you alone. generally fine if you dont mind getting up

goated seat imo, joongi would mind his own business and/or be too busy talking to zhao to bother you and also would be perfectly polite about getting up to let you out. however you would be subjected to whatever the fuck would be happening in front of you

miserable seat, the only way this is tolerable is if either saejima or majima agrees to swap, but saejima's too damn big for the middle seat anyway, and majima probably refuses just for the sake of being difficult. saejima spends the whole flight trying to sleep but can't bc majima keeps bugging the shit out of him, and you'd be stuck in the crossfire. worst seat by far

i personally always need a window seat on a flight (preferably towards the front) or i get sick as hell so im going 7 > 2 > 4 > 1 > 6 > 3 > 5 > 8

🙏 🙏 🙏  for the wip game :-)

for the lead up to this snippet... see this ask and this ask. enjoy (or don't) these raw unedited sentences:

If Evan asked Tommy to do anything, he would without hesitation – all because of that face – and he briefly wonders how many others have been where he is standing. He moves a hand to rest on the back of Evan’s neck, fingertips playing with the still damp ends of his hair. “Mmm…” He leans in, catching Evan’s bottom lip between his teeth and tugging gently before diving in for a proper kiss, reveling in the way Evan melts against him and parts his lips invitingly. Tommy presses his tongue inside, sliding against the back of Evan’s teeth, before reluctantly pulling away. Evan swallows. His hands trailing up and down Tommy’s sides, seemingly unable to pick just one spot to hold onto. “Are you going to show me?” He whispers, whining low in his throat. Yeah, that’s a face and voice Tommy would do anything for.

baseball au

Chrissy's home for the holidays and is dying to get out of the house, so she offers to take her brother to see the baseball, since his team are playing locally. In his excitement, her brother shows her his baseball card collection to teach her all about the teams that are playing, and gives her all the dupes he has of his beloved team. One card particularly sticks out for Chrissy - while baseball may not be her thing, center field Steve Harrington certainly is. And judging by the spectacle he creates when he notices her in the crowd, deliberately angling a hit to land practically in her brother's lap, and getting the crowd to pass his phone to her to get her number, that feeling's most definitely mutual.
