#cedric spliff

[cryinginblaseball]

I think Cedric would be miserable at job hunting. I think he gets too anxious at the interviews and blows it every time. Just over explains and flubs his words. I could definitely see him just getting work via word of mouth.

I wonder if Cedric would have a great luck at job hunting thanks to his many hobbies, or would he just Commit To The Bit and become a wandering handyman (gn) for all of Partially Submerged Canada?

[cryinginblaseball]

Spent some time adding stuff to my queue. Anyway I'm sad about blaseball again. Tell me about what your blorbo is up to now that they've been Released.

My faves for the Talkers:

Lachlan Shelton - anywhere from owning a food stall to a food truck to a bistro.

Hobbs Cain - Just vibing with Richmond Harrison. I think they eventually come back to Halifax.

Greer Lott - I love the idea that Greer has fallen in coaching kids in little league and swearing and also how to defend themselves against bullies, and she's just thriving, to her surprise.

Cedric Spliff - @luckyowl21 said he'd be in a sewing circle and I love that for him. I can see him having a YouTube channel that fluctuates wildly on what it's about. He has a small but devoted following.

Jasper Coven - Just like his old teacher turned surrogate sister, Kiki Familia, Jasper was sought out by a neophyte witch who wants him to train them. He's trying his best.

PolkaDot Patterson - vibing on the coast with Workman Gloom. Also coaching little league with Greer.

blatantly taking advantage of a general tag by @idonthaveanyurlideas to self-promote 1. New Cities, Old Faces

Cedric Spliff hit the ground hard.

2. The Whole Kit and Caboodle

Tot Best sat on a couch in the LA Unlimited Tacos’ clubhouse, scrolling through the news on their phone.

3. Unlimited Until the End

The parking lot of Al Pastor Memorial park is a paradox. Infinite in scope, but somehow perpetually crowded.

4. Blasetober 2022

A door is opened to a dark room buried deep beneath the earth. Within it lies a plinth, and on the plinth lies a Book, its cover bound by chains and sealed with a heavy lock.

5. The King and the Frog

King Weatherman had always been an early riser.

6. A Tale of Two Sextons

It was a beautiful day in the Infinite Cities of Los Angeli. Sun2 was high in the sky, its rays filtering through the countless dimensional rifts in a kaleidoscope of shining rays

7. Something to Hold Onto

"I'm home, darling!"

8. Holding a Grudge

"GOD DAMMIT." Bobby Mitchell hurled her controller against the wall as the knight she'd been playing as was eviscerated by a wheel of spinning blades for the seventh time in a row.

9. A History Lesson

McDowell Mason had been a member of the LA Unlimited Tacos since the very beginning.

10. Enter Oko

Rogue Umpire incinerated Goobie Ballson!

Al Pastor Memorial Ballpark was silent as the last ashes of what had just moments ago been the newest addition to the Tacos’ lineup drifted to the ground.

So it seems my tendency is to start a fic with the full name of the POV character, if not immedately at least very early. While these are the most recent fics, they’re not necessarily the most recent stories since two of them are big long anthologies.

I took advantage of an open tag so I’ll leave this open as well for anyone that would want to do it

[cryinginblaseball]

Wasn't tagged but I want to play

Lachlan Shelton Makes a Fursona

"Cedric Spliff happily set out the food Lachlan had brought with him in the little room off the Gleek Clubhouse."

Vibe Check, Revisited

"They told York that PolkaDot Patterson was there to catch him when he fell."

Stepping into Existence

"If Eugenia was being honest about it, she'd tell you it was Ziwa's fault, or rather that Ziwa was the reason, and she feels terrible about it."

Not the One That's Punishing You

"Greer Lott, standing in the rubble of the last 20 minutes, stared down at the diminutive form standing just out side her door."

Hold Tightly, Hold Tightly

"The sun set on the frozen sky."

EUGENIA GARBAGE FINDS SOME CAT EARS IN A DUMPSTER AND DECIDES TO MAKE IT EVERYONE’S PROBLEM

"Int: A dumpster outside an anime convention"

Looking For Lost Things

"Sometimes, when you're dating a sentient garbage hive mind, you have to be prepared for strange behavior."

Food is an Act We Do For One Another

"Lachlan Shelton woke to the sound of slamming coming from his kitchen."

Hobbs Cain's Wednesday Night Nightmare Club

"Hobbs Cain looked around before he crept into the Moist Talkers’ clubhouse, trying to muffle the rustling of the plastic bag he was carrying."

got tagged by @waveridden and i....have been writing and publishing fic extremely infrequently lately but here we go

wire and glass and stainless steel

loveless was beginning to get the idea that i&t had very little respect for the work that went on in archives and revision.

when all of your body's burning up

the only picture in the house of your abuela is in your parents’ bedroom, framed on the dresser. you don’t see it until you’re twelve, until the room’s pristine nature and crisp, white sheets become less foreboding and more of a challenge; until your parents trust you to stay at home by yourself after school instead of with your tía.

thought i saw stars, but it was the rain

the horizon gets bad weather days, sometimes; days when the air is thick with feedback that creeps up the back of your neck, or clouds of birds blot out one of the many suns, or the humidity breaks and bloodrain comes pouring out of the sky. today is one of the latter. derrick watches from the safety of the screen door as the droplets hit the deck and explode into red mist, scattering over the wood, turning the exterior of the beach house into a crime scene. making its outsides match the inside - raw, visceral, haunted.

guitar / loneliness / blue planet

since people started disappearing into the black hole, the dale have been throwing parties almost every weekend. there’s no straight answer you can get as to why they’re doing it. some say it’s for remembrance, some say it’s to celebrate the people who are finally getting out of the horizon. personally, shaq thinks it’s to keep the morale up.

sugar, butter, flour

“I’ve been reading some shit on the internet about black holes,” Hank says.

it’s supposed to be the play of her career.

a story the woman will never tell (and one the statue, banished to another universe, will try to omit from memory) is this:

at the start of a moment

the fridays’ last series in the season is at home in hawai’i, and fitz feels relief wash over her as the plane touches ground and taxis in the runway.

stuck

the pies collected 10! “okay,” case says, chewing on the end of the plastic straw he used to stir creamer into his coffee. “so, walk me through it.”

my piece for the Moist Talkers zine! the team taking a well deserved day off 💙💦

[flocksystem]

london simmons + cedric spliff 29

29: nudging them to show they are right beside them

London knows the cardinal rules of xyr world by heart (an irony, since xe has none):

There is no give without take.

The pitcher must throw the ball.

The first xe learned when xe was first pulled from the Shadows, finally allowed to walk in the light at the expense of another. Cedric told xem it was fine, looked almost relieved as he went under. London hadn’t felt guilty about it then, knowing that during the long-shadowed afternoons, xe had been able to emerge into those patches of dark, watching games from beneath the stands. Cataloguing data, calculating statistics.

SIMULATION: GUILT

DOPAMINE LEVELS REDUCED

There wasn’t much space for shadows now, underneath so many suns.

Xe used to visit him at night, those now-haunted hours where Shadows gathered. Xe had felt an obligation, being the one who had taken his place. Obligation became camaraderie, camaraderie became friendship. The problem with friendship, London discovered, was that it meant you had to care, and caring hurt.

Xe didn’t visit anymore.

DISTRESS DETECTED.

END SYNTHETIC CHEMICAL PRODUCTION? Y/N

Maybe this is why Mooney had been so reluctant to program in the emotion sims. London was built possessed of one thing, and it was the drive to acquire information. Xe ran equations from the Shadows, produced dataset upon dataset detailing the team’s ERA, OBP, SLG. Xe had seen the reactions the numbers elicited, the fascination, the pride, the shame.

Xe had, by natural extension of their drive to know, wanted to understand. Xe thought xe understood now. Xe thought xe might regret it. Especially now. But to stop now, to lose all the bad, would mean losing all the good too.

And there had been good. London wasn’t ready to give up on it. Not yet.

SIMULATION: FEAR

ADRENALINE LEVELS SPIKING

The pitcher must throw the ball.

London had learned the full extent of that today.

Numbers had always afforded London a certain degree of security. Even in an unpredictable world, they allowed xem to trace back a certain kind of logic. Logic had dictated that, in order to throw the ball, the pitcher must have someone to throw the ball to.

Logic had no place in what followed.

London Simmons advances to third.

London Simmons batting for the Moist Talkers.

If London did have a heart, it would be pounding now across two bodies. Two selves staring at each other across the space, the combined panic of two sets of falsified producers and receptors a tidal wave.

And then, by some miracle, there is shadow.

The cloud cover, sparse as it is, casts a stretch of shade back behind London on home plate. There’s a faint sense of contact, and if xe had any kind of olfactory system, xe would catch the scent of old books, cheap wings at trivia night, that spiced aftershave that Alston loved.

For a moment, there is no roaring crowd. Only relief, and quiet calm that passes over London (both of xem).

“You got this, kid,” Cedric says.

And London knows, in that moment, that xe does.

as an aside, one of my favorite one-off lines on the blaseball wiki is that cedric spliff’s con artist crimes include 1) selling people weed but it’s actually oregano, and 2) selling people oregano but it’s actually weed

[caligulalotus]

so as inspired by @leonstamatis ‘s post analyzing the gender and humanity demographics of the Boston Flowers, I decided to do the same for the Moist Talkers, since I consider myself a kind of honorary MT fan because of the amount of MT lore I’ve been exposed to and am attached to because of my MT fan friends. I’m putting it under the cut because it got way longer than I thought it would, and I didn’t even do a real analysis.

There are going to be three classifications of person here, human, modified human, and nonhuman. A few of these players were hard to pin down (Jesús Koch and Beans McBlase), so I classified alternate reality players as modified or nonhuman and “regular human and their animal pal” as human. As for pronouns, the categories are separated into primarily he/him, primarily she/her, and primarily they/them, any, no, or neopronouns. If a character falls into these categories also uses another set of pronouns, those are listed as well but they do not contribute to the overall count for that other set of pronouns because the math would’ve gotten way too confusing for me, sorry. I also didn’t do race demographics because they really aren’t discussed on the wiki, and as far as I could tell, a lot of human players don’t really have a race consensus.

Player Stats:

30 players since season 1

Current roster is 15 players, 5 pitchers and 10 batters

7 players have been lost through incineration

9 players have been lost through feedback

So I am not super involved in Moist Talkers culture or lore development. I’m not in the discord, I’m not a fan on the website, I only know as much as I know about the Moist Talkers because all of my Blaseball friends are MT fans and I follow a lot of MT fans, and you all did good at getting me attached to your characters through the wiki. Because of all this, I’m not going to make a ton of commentary on what you should do with this information, or how you should take all this. I’ll just sum up the data I have. Throughout the Moist Talkers’ time as a Blaseball team, half of your players have been nonhuman, and most of those nonhuman players have used he/him. The nonhuman characters also have a pretty varied dynamic, lots of different types of not humans, but a lot of them have fish/ocean qualities. That fish thing is also why I was hesitant to include Polkadot Patterson in the human category, as I sometimes see their squiddish modifier give them some nonhuman flavoring. Generally, the Moist Talkers do a lot of fish and ocean stuff. Gender wise, most of your players have also used he/him, but you also have had a pretty good number of gnc players in your time as a team. Generally, you are kind of lacking in the she/her character department, though not she/her using humans as much as modified humans or even nonhumans. You also don’t have many neopronoun or any pronouns using players (only one of your players falls into each of these categories. Greer Lott uses she/that and Simon Hayley uses any). Take all this info as you will, incorporate it into your future character and world building, or don’t I’m not gonna get too into it simply because I’m not “technically” a MT fan.

Lachlan Shelton Makes a Fursona (With Cedric Spliff and York Silk)

"Sit, dingus," Cedric said.

"This is silly," Lachlan said.

"Yeah," Cedric sat at the table and pulled out his own laptop. "But it's fun too. Have fun for once, nerd."

"I have fun plenty!" Lachlan started to protest, but Cedric was already laughing to himself. Lachlan frowned, but he sat down anyway.

York came back. "Okay!" He opened a drawing program on his tablet. "Where should we start?"

"I… I don't… I don't even know?" Lachlan shifted in his chair.

"Hmmm," York said. "What about like a lion?" He started to draw out a lion head on his tablet.

"Lion might be too cool for Lachlan," Cedric said.

Lachlan rolled his eyes. "Anyway, I thought maybe a bunny would be nice."

"Oh, yeah! That'd be really cool!" York scooted the canvas over and started drawing out a rabbit's head.

Thanks for the ask!

MASALI

The soft kiss of the sun landed softly on the corner of his lips, teasing them up into a sleepy smile. Every morning he would sit up, digging the crust from his eyes and give thanks to Jah for waking him so sweetly. There was no glass or curtain to steal the gift of the sun, only an open square cut into the wooden planks of his shanty right above his bed. It could be closed by way of another square of wood, mounted on hinges that he could swing in and deadbolt when the rain came. As Masali stood he reached his arms up and up, stretching the groaning sleep from his body, shaking his locks and scratching his head. He walked over to the door and pushed it open, tying the string that hung from the side to a nail on the outside so that it stayed open. His shack stood in a small clearing surrounded by a forest of fruit trees. Standing in the doorway he took a meal of a breath. The smell of cocoa pods ripening on gnarled branches, the sweet ruin of rotten mangoes on the ground. The biting tang of lemons and the mild citric scent of grapefruit all swelled into his hungry nose, lingering on his tongue before filling his belly with their succulent aroma. The light was still soft and the dewdrops in the air felt cool in his nose, sliding down into his lungs and filling his body with clean peace. He turned back into his home and grabbed the tray of chopped herb off the end table next to the head of his bed. Across the room there stood a wooden table with two wooden chairs, like all of the furniture in his home he’d carved them himself. He sat down at the table as he rolled his morning spliff. Once he finished he tucked it behind his ear, and grabbed a pair of shorts from the shelf against the wall between the table and the bed that held the small collection of clothes he owned. On his way outside he grabbed a lighter off of the dresser and stuck it in his pocket. He walked around to the side of the house where a garden of pepper trees, peas and cucumbers stood in proud rows saluting the breaking morn. He grabbed his bucket and soap where they lay on the ground by the house and headed to the river, keeping an eye out for the ripe prickle pears that always covered the ground this time of year. By the time he made it to the river bank the bottom of his bucket was full of the sweet round fruit. He stopped beside a big flat river stone that jutted out into river and put down his bucket. He took the spliff from his ear and placed it on the stone along with the lighter beside the bucket. Finally he slipped into the clear brisk water with soap in hand. After enjoying his refreshing bath, he sat on the stone with his feet dangling in the water and lit his morning spliff, blowing a cloud of grey smoke into the clear sky. Sitting in the growing heat of the sun, Masali turned his thoughts to the day ahead, planning how he would make his money. He was a hustler who lived off the land. Usually he would spend the morning roaming the countryside gathering whatever fruits or vegetables he could find, then he would sell his load to people in the neighborhood, or sometimes he would find his way to the market and peddle his goods there. Just as he was making up his mind to go back and check on a breadfruit tree he’d seen the day before, the sound of crunching leaves interrupted his thoughts. He looked up to see a group of men headed in his direction walking along the river. There were four of them dressed in jeans and t-shirts, wearing bright yellow vests with reflective strips. They noticed him when they were a couple yards off and he waved good morning to them.

“Wah goin on ras?”

The man closest to him returned his greeting as they slowed to talk to him.

“Nuttin much, I cool bredren. Y’all workin out here?” Masali asked.

“Yea, some yankee man done buy up a whole thousand acres out here so we come and mark the boundaries for the sale.”

“I thought this land out here belonged to Francis people and dem?”

“Well it used to. I don’t know if you know the old man Cedric, he was the last one that had claim on the land and he never had no children. He was livin over in England but he pass away a while back, about ten years now. Since nobody claim the land it went back to the government for a while but I guess they finally find somebody to take it off they hands.”

“You know anything about the man who buy it, a yankee you say?” Masali asked.

“Well the talk is he planning to build some houses out here to rent for tourists. That’s all I really know. You know man don’t ask too many questions long as they pay we.” the workmen chuckled amongst themselves at the bad joke.

“You live around here?” the surveyor asked.

“Yea, yea. You know Ms Sharon big shop up on the main road? Well right over there I stayin.” he lied.

“Ok, yea I kno where. We gone head over there this afternoon for lunch. Well we aint mean to disturb your meditation, and we have to go get these boundaries run so we gone head out. Take care Ras.”

As the man and his team prepared to move on Masali picked up his bucket and walked towards them, “Before yall go take some golden apple. I jus pick them up this mornin, they real sweet.” “You sure?” the surveyor asked as he looked into the bucket of ripe fruit.

“Yea man, bless up. Take that for the walk. I know y’all gone be workin hard out here.”

The men thanked Masali as they took his gift and headed down the river bank, leaving him alone with his thoughts again. He sat back down on the river stone and relit his spliff which had gone out. He turned to the sky and emptied himself into the smoke that rose to the clouds. He sat in the stillness of the clearing and no happy thoughts or plans moved through his mind. By now the heat of the sun was beginning to weigh heavy on his bare skin. The memory of the surveyor’s words came back to him but he pushed it away and smoked the rest of his spliff in stillness. The walk back to his shack felt long. He looked around as he walked the path and everything looked new and strange. The sound of his bare feet crunching on the dried leaves sounded too loud, as if the earth itself protested his right to walk here. Soon he was standing in front of his shack. Eight years he had lived in this little clearing he thought to himself. When he first found it there was nothing but untamed bush. He had asked around the neighborhood and people told him the Francis family had ‘gone to foreign.’ He stood staring at the small wooden building, looking over the boards and remembering the sensation of pounding the nails into place. He noticed how his careful measuring had left no gaps in the boards. Each plank lay straight, even, deliberate, placed with meticulous precision. He remembered how proud he felt because instead of using big squares of plywood which would have been easy, he’d used individual planks because they were sturdier. The galvanized roof lay flat and solid, no shoddily laid patches catching the wind and rattling against the frame. He could see the posts he’d driven into the ground and how strong they stood. Standing looking at the house he had built alone, in the bush, his chest grew tight. He knew he would be fine, he had never had a problem surviving, but this was the one time in his life he had truly owned something. He could wait until the rich yankee came and ask him for permission to stay, but the very thought of begging for this home that he had built with his own hands hurt too much. Besides what would he have to pay? What piece of himself would have to be offered up in return. He had no claim to this land even though he’d fed the soil his own sweat and blood. No. No matter how he looked at it, he would have to leave. Even now he felt like a stranger on this land. How could he rest his head here knowing that when he opened his eyes his sunlit kisses would only mean he was one day closer to being robbed of his prize. He thought of strange men dressed in hard hats, stomping around his garden in work boots. He heard the roaring engine of the Caterpillar bulldozer and the screams of the wood beneath the iron treads. Saw them picking up the pieces and throwing them into wheelbarrows to be rolled to dumpsters where his house would lie with filth and debris like common trash. It was clear to him that whatever he did, he could not allow this to happen. It wasn’t a thought so much as a compulsion. He felt the strength to move from where he stood rooted to the ground, he walked into the small shack and began throwing what little he owned into a green canvas bag. Once the house was bare he gathered as much dead wood and brush as he could find into the center of the floor. He moved deliberately and automatically, allowing his focus on his actions to block out all dissenting emotions or distractions. Soon thick clouds of black smoke billowed up into the afternoon sun. He stood in front of the blazing fire, watching it burn with all the vigor and spirit he’d poured into the wooden walls. Finally the storm of his tears broke, raining down his dark, still face. He stood and watered the earth with his tears while the cracking, splintering cries of his home rose into the sky. By the time the last of the flames curled lazily from the coals, a thick blanket of night laid softly across the sky. He raised his head and breathed deep, eyes closed, listening to the land. Crickets screaming in the darkness. The whispering voices of trees drifted on the wind. The memory of a pregnant breadfruit tree drifted into his mind and he opened his eyes.

“Thank Jah” he whispered as he turned and walked into the waiting arms of the bush.
