i'm going on a VERY fun rabbit hole with this life series/hermitcraft/empires blaseball au thing, so have the next installment, the hermit blaseball au! this one is a lot easier to understand if you don't know anything about blaseball, because this is Much more "i've just put them into the plot of blaseball, they're just hanging out in there". my empires blaseball au can be found here, and the third life blaseball au will be linked here one i finish writing that up.

also, a few of my choices for teams i am not... particularly confident about (namely xisuma, bdubs, hypno, and tango) so if you have a better suggestion for them please pitch it.

Grian: Batter for the LA Unlimited Tacos

Scar: Batter for the Miami Dale

Mumbo: Batter for the New York Millennials, Siphon

Cleo: Pitcher for the Kansas City Breath Mints

Ren: Batter and team captain for the San Fransisco Lovers, Charm

Bdubs: Batter for the Hawai’i Fridays

Impulse: Batter for the Hellmouth Sunbeams

Pearl: Pitcher for the Houston Spies, Precognition

Gem: Pitcher for the Kansas City Breath Mints

Xisuma: Pitcher for the Philly Pies

Evil X: Pitcher for the Hades Tigers

Wels: Batter for the San Fransisco Lovers

Hels: Batter for the Baltimore Crabs

Hypno: Batter for the Mexico City Wild Wings

XB: Batter for the Atlantis Georgias

Beef: Pitcher for the Dallas Steaks

Keralis: Batter for the Core Mechanics

Joe: Pitcher for the Kansas City Breath Mints, later batter for the Seattle Garages

TFC: Coach of the Ohio Worms

Doc: Pitcher for the Core Mechanics

Jevin: Batter for the Charleston Shoe Thieves, Flinch, later rerolled into Reverberating

False: Pitcher for the Tokyo Lift

Stress: Batter for the Tokyo Lift

Iskall: Batter for the Breckenridge Jazz Hands

Tango: Pitcher for the Chicago Firefighters, Fire Eater

Cub: Batter for the Charleston Shoe Thieves, got Flinch from fighting god and got it rerolled into Debt

Etho: Pitcher for the Canada Moist Talkers

Zedaph: Pitcher for the Yellowstone Magic

Wormman: Pitcher for the Ohio Worms

This AU is, even more so than the Empires part of this AU, just me shoving the Hermits into the Blaseball universe and letting it happen.

The only people who are even sort of replacing an actual Blaseball player are Cleo, Joe, and Gem.

Cleo is our Jaylen. She pitches for the Kansas City Breath Mints, and is the best pitcher in the league, and when the Forbidden Book opens, she dies. Her intended replacement is False Symmetry II, aka Empires!False, but when the Forbidden Book is opened in the Empires, Hermitcraft, and Life Series universes all at once, everything gets a little muddled, and everyone comes out of it a little muddled. The biggest change is that Cleo is instead replaced by Gemini Tay, the newly generated player from the Empires world who was meant to replace Xornoth. 

When she is resurrected at the end of season 6, Joe goes into the Shadows in exchange. Within a few seasons, he is able to leave the Shadows and bats for the Breath Mints for about a season, afterwards he is transferred to the Seattle Garages, where he stays. I am not putting him back in the Shadows because it makes me kind of sad.

Cub and Jevin are both players for the Thieves, so they get cursed as a result of the boss fight against the Shelled One. We will resolve that later. Hels, despite being on the Crabs, does not get cursed, because he doesn’t join the Crabs until after they return from ascension.

Other than that, the Hermits are just sort of Existing in the world of Blaseball. Evil X and Hels are both created in similar ways to Evil Twin and Bontgomery Mullock, which is to say, Blessings break and accidentally clone a guy, so we just slightly edit one of their names and keep going. Don’t worry about it. 

At one point during Expansion, while the Reroll Will is still in effect, fans of the Thieves attempt to reroll the Flinch modifier that Cub got as a side effect of fighting god and losing that one time. It gets rerolled into Debt, in a similar vein to what happened to Silvaire Roadhouse, but because he’s on the Thieves, he actually gets to kill people. Good for him. Jevin’s Flinch modifier also gets rerolled, but he gets Reverberating. Good for him, but in a different direction.

what is blaseball

Ok so first of all thank you for sending in this ask because it gives me an opportunity to infodump about something that's really important to me... Blaseball! There's no way I can fully explain the game or what it meant to people but I can absolutely try!

Now, you may ask (and you did), what is Blaseball? Blaseball (with an L) was an absurdist eldritch horror online baseball simulator hosted at blaseball.com. Each week, 24 teams with names like the Canada Moist Talkers or the Atlantis Georgias consisting of simulated players with names like Brisket Friendo or Jessica Telephone would play game after game for the enjoyment of fans, who mainly gathered on discord to watch and cheer on their team together. Fan interaction consisted of betting on games and using the currency (peanuts) gathered to vote in elections at the end of each week, which determined new rules and game mechanics to add into the simulation.

Eventually, several godlike entities (including a giant peanut, a capitalist coin, and a friendly squid known as the Hall Monitor) would make themselves known and add commentary in between games, try to get the fans to pick a certain option, threaten the audience for picking the 'wrong' option, and so on. Meanwhile, fans would regularly screw with the system as much as they could, finding weird ways to bend the game to their advantage and creating ridiculous scenarios.

One of the most iconic events from the early seasons of Blaseball involved working around the mechanic of Incineration, in which players could randomly get Incinerated by rogue umpires during games and sent to the Hall of Flame, where they were 'killed' and unable to play. The fans were able to manipulate a Blessing (a type of vote during an Election) that would send the #14 most liked player in the Hall of Fame (distinct from the Hall of Flame, fans could give peanuts to players to rank them higher) to the team that won the Blessing. Fans carefully maneuvered Jaylen Hotdogfingers, the first player to be Incinerated, into the #14 spot. When the Election was over, Jaylen was pulled out of the Hall of Flame and back into the game... with the tragic consequence that they now had a 'debt' modifier on them that would make players who played against them more likely to be Incinerated themselves. I don't know, Balseball is weird. But it's this weirdness that made it so much fun.

The fan space of Blaseball was hugely creative, mostly because the site itself was very minimalist and there wasn't much information canonically available about the players. Thus, fans were able to pretty much build their favorite characters to be whatever they want, and they did so. Every team in Blaseball is its own subcommunity with traditions and extensive fanon of its own, and that is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in a fandom space, honestly. I highly highly recommend checking out the fan-run wiki for just a glimpse at the absolutely massive amount of fan lore that the community came up with. It's this that truly made Blaseball the cultural phenomenon that it was and I'm proud to say that it inspired my art and my creative process in huge ways.

Now, you might be wondering why I've been referring to Blaseball in the past tense. Well... despite regular dev updates since the ending of the second 'Era' (story arc, basically) and a faltering attempt at starting a third, on June 2, 2023, the dev team suddenly announced that it would be shutting Blaseball down permanently, citing financial issues. This came as a shock to fans, who had been keeping the fandom alive on discord and elsewhere for months with no sign of anything too bad from the dev side of things. We were given a few hours' notice to say goodbye before the discord was archived. It was a really difficult time for a lot of us to see the foundation of a whole community just kind of vanish into the wind, but many folks carried on in their own side discords and on tumblr and twitter where regular fan spaces are. I was pretty far from fan spaces by that time, but the news still affected me a lot. I think it's super important that I keep its spirit alive in the best way I know how: by talking about it and being annoying on tumblr.com. I hope I can keep its spirit alive in everything I create. :)

A few more things that anyone interested in Blaseball and its legacy should definitely check out:

@waveridden's google doc A Brief History of Blaseball, which explains the details of Blaseball much better than I ever could in an easy-to-understand way.

The official Blaseball Recap, in which a put-upon Anchor gives a chaotic summary of the events of Blaseball and gets progressively less sane in the process. Genuinely a fun watch even if you don't care about the rest of Blaseball.

The Garages, an incredible band (idk their genre they just do what they want and thats based) composed of Blaseball fans who sing songs about it. Genuinely really really good. You don't need to know about Blaseball to listen to them but it does make things make more sense. I have an art project that's almost done that is in reference to their music so look out for that also. :P

[insanepoll]

hi. here's another blaseball fan trying to get more people into blaseball

to understand what makes these guys insane, you need more context about blaseball. blaseball, just as a website, is a baseball simulator. except people die sometimes. other things happen too, like a player will siphon another player's blood in bloodrain, players get encased by a giant peanut (aka getting shelled), players change teams in feedback weather, etc etc etc.

blaseball fans make the entirety of the blaseball lore. all headcanons are excepted. like, jessica telephone is usually depicted as a girl with telephone features worked into her somehow (like a keypad on her face, giant phone for a bat, etc.), but you can just decide that you think jessica telephone is a lion and that's an official IRM (interdimensional rumor mill, a term used to describe all of these different interpretations). the wiki has irms for some of the players. i say some, because 1) more popular players don't really have an IRM section. players like jessica telephone, jaylen hotdogfingers, and nagomi mcdaniel have widely-accepted irms, so they kinda just get one. older players that aren't super popular but well-known by a specific team will have this as well, like reese clark of the houston spies. but lesser-known players will have multiple. for example, brock forbes has eleven rumors, terrell bradley has two, etc.

teams also write lore about the team itself. for example, the baltimore crabs live in baltimore, maryland, but the original players on the team killed Big Deb (the giant crab goddess that ruled baltimore) and now her carcass is used as the stadium :]

there's 24 teams, and all of them have their own culture and vibe. it can be a lot to try and figure out which team you want to go with. here's a cool hint: even tho the website makes you pick one team, you can join as many teams as you'd like. personally, i am on both the houston spies and baltimore crabs.

the teams: atlantis georgias, baltimore crabs, boston flowers, breckenridge (broken ridge) jazz hands, canada moist talkers, charleston shoe thieves, chicago firefighters, core mechanics, dallas steaks, hades tigers, hawaii fridays, houston spies, kansas city breath mints, los angeli unlimited tacos (the "los angeles" is plural), mexico city wild wings, miami dale, moab hellmouth sunbeams, new york millennials, ohio worms, philidelphia pies (everyone just calls them the philly pies), san francisco lovers, seattle garages, tokyo lift, and yellowstone magic.

so yeah! a lot! some teams you can get a vibe for immediately, but even then there's bits and pieces that aren't as obvious. for example, the tokyo lift is a gym-themed team, but they also have past lives as pirates.

if you want more info on individual teams, the houston spies bit together this slideshow. it's a little outdated, but the general vibes stay the same. for most teams, you can visit different team channels in the maincord, but some teams mostly or only use a sidecord, like the baltimore crabs. the maincord is huge, but you can mute most of the channels. i have every channel besides my team channels and announcements muted.

for finding more info: someone else mentioned the wiki, which is helpful, but hasn't been outdated for the new era (coronation). it's still not fully updated from the expansion era (because the expansion era was hella hectic). most teams will have their lore in their own discord server, since it's not allowed in maincord anymore (because people were being Weird when making lore and there's only so many mods). most if not all teams have links to their servers pinned in one of their channels.

going thru all of those channels and finding links can be A Lot. finding a team can be A Lot. but don't worry! there's no wrong answers and everyone is excited to have new people.

when i was picking teams, i considered these questions:

what size team do i want? i prefer smaller teams, so i went with the spies. some teams are big but don't feel too big, like the crabs (although i have most of the Crabitat channels muted).

do i like lore or stats more? i definitely prioritize lore but i ended up on two stat-heavy teams lol. every team needs a balance, though, so no matter what you want to contribute, you'll be welcomed (even if you don't feel like contributing anything). i definitely have a place within the spies for Making Lore

how much do i care about winning? i do not give a singular fuck, which is how i ended up on the spies.

how competitive of an environment do i want? some teams are much more cutthroat than others and that's important to think about

what aesthetics do i like? this one isn't as big for me personally. im not too attached to the aesthetics of the spies or crabs, and they aren't really aesthetics-driven, either. but some teams, like the lovers and the garages, have very established aesthetics. even if you don't "fit" within the team aesthetic, tho, the team itself can still be a good fit.

i think that's all i have for right now. i mean. its a lot. lol. but i may add more later :3

huh thats kinda cool. collaborative lore. love when people come together to make something<3 even more when that something is kinda fucked up<3

Gwinnett County police are searching for a man they say swindled victims out of thousands of dollars in a real estate scam.

The investigation began to unravel in January 2023. Two victims contacted police and said they were scammed for more than $100,000 each.

In both cases, the victims thought they were buying property in Ellenwood, Georgia from a Facebook Marketplace ad.

According to GCPD, the victims were told to wire large amounts of money to what they believed was a law group in Atlanta that the thief claimed to represent.

When the victims went to the law office on their closing dates, they learned they had been scammed. After a lengthy investigation, officers identified the suspect as Jaylen Anderson, 23, of Fairburn.

Anderson is charged with four counts of theft by deception, identity theft, and records and reports of currency transactions. His whereabouts are currently unknown.

Anyone with information on the case or who knows of Anderson’s whereabouts is urged to contact GCPD detectives at 770-513-5300. Tipsters can remain anonymous by contacting at 404-577-8477 or online. Crime Stoppers tipsters can receive a cash reward for information leading to an arrest and indictment in this case.

Atlanta Wedding Photographers capture International Celebration of Love

This week’s wedding is one that hits close to home.  I have known the bride since she was 10 years old.  Her parents were in my small group at church, so I saw her grow up and graduate college.  Now she is a young woman who found a great guy and is getting married!

Megan and Jaylen met while they were going to Georgia State.  They have been together for about 4 years.  When Jaylen proposed to her she started planning her wedding.  One thing you need to know about Mergan is that she is a planner!  She contacted me about a year and a half ago.  I was so honored to be her Atlanta wedding photographer.

In January her parents wanted everyone to get together and talk about the wedding.  So one Sunday afternoon Megan,Jaylen, Danyl and Matilda (Megan’s mom and dad) came over to my house.  We talked about the wedding and then Matilda, her mom, let me know that they were also going to have an african/Cameroon ceremony a few days before the wedding.  After we talked about the logistics of the wedding Megan and Jaylen left.  Then Dany,l Megan’s dad, dropped the bomb on me that he had cancer.  After this meeting he was going to the hospital , to start isolation and heavy doses of chemotherapy.  I let him know that I was praying for him and his family and to keep me posted on what I can do to help.  Four months later Danyl is much healthier and attending his daughter's wedding.

Thursday was the Cameroon ceremony held at Premier Event Center in Gwinnett County.  As with every celebration there was phenomenal food.  Matilda served Sangah (a mixture of maize, cassava leaf, and palm nut juice), plantains, meat pie then couple of types of Koki Corn (African Fresh Corn Tamales) – a wonderful corn dish made primarily with fresh corn and cornmeal, spinach, and palm oil wrapped in banana leaves or foil and steamed to perfection. Then there is Kwacoco Bible which is cocoyams grated , fortified with crayfish,  wrapped in plantain leaves, and steamed until cooked through. 

The Cameroon ceremony started with a welcoming of the guests and prayer before the meal.  Everyone enjoyed the exotic flavors from around the world.  Once everyone was done eating then there was the presentation of the bride and groom.  Before they came into the room they were surrounded by family from Cameroon who were singing and chanting.  The bride and groom came into the room but were preceded by Megan’s aunts with brooms clearing a clean path for the bride and groom.  Behind the couple were the same family members singing, chanting, and even blowing a whistle.  They came to the front of the event hall and Megan and Jaylen had their first dance.  Then everyone was invited to the dance floor where a good time was held by all.

Saturday was the wedding at White Fox Cottage in Commerce, Georgia. It is a fairly new wedding facility with a great owner.  They have a large covered area for receptions and an expansive dining hall.  There are also two outdoor options for wedding ceremonies.  There is an open framed church area and an open patio with columns and chandelier. They also have one other thing that a lot of places don’t have and that is plenty of parking.

We started Saturday at White Fox Cottage, where I had Chandler, one of the newest photographers on our team,  taking the detail and getting ready photos.  At around 12 the ladies came out in their matching PJs and popped a bottle of champagne to start out the day right.  The men were in the next building getting dressed while the ladies were in the bridal room.  There were several notes being exchanged between the groom and the bride while they were getting ready.  Once the ladies were dressed we started on their photos and got them tucked away.  Then the guys had about 20 minutes to do their photos. Then the guests started to arrive.  

The ceremony was held in the open air church area.   Once everyone was seated the ceremony began.  The mothers and groom came in first then the groomsmen wearing black tuxes.  The bridesmaids were not far behind wearing beautiful green flowing gowns.  Once the bridal party had gotten up front Jaylen turned away from the guests.  He wanted to be surprised when Megan arrived since he had not seen her in her dress yet.  Danyl her father escorted her down the aisle.  Jaylen’s best man tapped him on the shoulder.  When he turned around and saw Megan he became emotional and overwhelmed by how beautiful she looked.  It was a fairly quick ceremony.  They exchanged rings and they sealed the marriage with a kiss.  They then raised their hands in the air to let everyone know they did it!

Then there were more photos with the families and such. While we were taking photos, the guests were enjoying cocktail hour.  After a while it was time for dinner where we had the usual toasts and cake cutting.  Then it was time for the dancing! There were fog machines and flashing lights.  It was like a regular disco.  

Like all good things there comes an ending.  The couple exited the wedding venue with cold sparklers going off into a Rolls Royce.  A perfect ending to a perfect day!

The Saudiah B girl y’all are talking about is from Philly and she gets around. She was with Michael Rainey Jr from power who allegedly paid for her to get her body done then she left him for lil uzi and got into it with jt and it adds up if the jaylen tea is true cause she was def sitting courtside. She is in school she goes to Georgia state I think, has her own clothing line and on one of her lives he said she just wants to have fun and fuck around for now.

oh she’s a queen i fear. sounds like she’s playing the game correctly

this week in blaseball: season 18 edition

coin entered maximum gaslight gatekeep girlboss mode

you can change the color on the beta logo and that's Neat

ultra league blaseball????

salmon restored a player's bat and yeeted them elsewhere at the same time

dale and worms broke the record for longest game time (so close to 69 minutes, but fell just short...)

mike townsend avoided getting faxed because of a black hole and TECHNICALLY PITCHED A SHUTOUT BECAUSE THE SHOE THIEVES ENDED THE GAME WITH 0 POINTS

finn james committed fax evasion by only giving up 9.5 runs

one player got an item called ACTUAL GLOVE OF THE FAMINE (and now i have a name for my new metal band)

discuss: did the coin effectively utilize girl power when she canceled the tarot reading

shoe thieves and mills got so close to ending a game 4-20, but the mills had to score one unrun and make it 4-19.7...

at least one team collected 69 birds

after two escapes, mike townsend finally got arrested for fax evasion

max and ivy both pecked free by birds, PANIK ENSUED (I WISH ALL GEORGIAS A NEVER PLAY US IN FEEDBACK EVER)

garages copied charm from lovers and proceeded to get into a charm fight with them

max and brisket friendo both got to do skateboard tricks! the latter, who is An Actual Cat, did a cat's cradle, which is very fitting

someone named an actual star after chorby soul

a new book was revealed in the library called "a ruby tuesday" that contains (somewhat minor) inaccuracies. is lootcrates lying to us....or is this history from an alternate timeline?

max copied attractor off brisket friendo and gave the garages The Dot™

PLAY BALL PLAY BALL PLAY BALL PLAY BALL PLAY BALL PLAY BALL

new item got added to the shop that paid out coins whenever consumers attacked (or attempted to attack)

CHAOS! CHAOS! CHAOS!

we thought the devs just got rid of chorby soul entirely, but it turns out they were just turned into a funko pop without any stars or soul but all of the instability!

legendary replicas are scary, especially if you have someone on your team named wyatt mason

TWO illegal party time games! mints and georgias got to burn down the party time chat for one game

the commissioner tweeted about the first illegal party time, then deleted the tweet after the game ended

knight triumphant and connor haley switched teams and the chat reacted by singing the entirety of "in the feedback" (and they got through the entire song!)

firefighters got fireproof, taunted the umpires with the tigers

one chorby soul replica got redacted, another got incinerated, and the other one partied. very mixed bag for players named chorby soul this season.

betsy "No Parties In Seattle" trombone finally partied (TWICE!)

rest in funko pops goodwin, aldon, and pitching machine… 😔

what if you (spies) wanted home field advantage but the salmon said no

the sim really hates nerd pacheco and the philly pies

chorby short vs. jaylen hotdogfingers pitch-off in the finals

BEE HONEYMOON FINALS

[fogwitchoftheevermore]

@hundredsofsmallbirds

OH BOY AN EXCUSE TO EXPLAIN THIS AGAIN! if you go into my #mcyt blaseball au tag you can find everything i've posted so far, but brief explanation of the basics:

there are three universes that are playing blaseball that we're looking in on for the sake of this au: the empires one, the hermitcraft one, and the life series one. all three universes generally follow the plot of blaseball season 1-24, with some places moved around and some actual blaseball players replaced by the character's we're watching. the three universes have a brief moment of crossover- if you didn't know, the season 1 election ran three times, and jaylen died in all three of these timelines, but was replaced by someone different each time. the game band picked an election and that is mostly the results we got, except the player who WE got to replace jaylen, derrick kreuger, came from an election we didn't get.

so the way this transfers to this au- rather than the forbidden book splitting the timeline into three, the opening of the forbidden book happens in three separate timelines and smashes them together. everything gets a little wonky in all three universes, and hc gem (gemini tay) and empires false (false symmetry II) swap universes (the replacement from the life series universe doesn't change universes but their election gets jostled in other ways).

i have a fully developed story and universe for the empires and hermitcraft legs of this au, because the life series one likes to give me SIGNIFICANT trouble but i'll figure that out at some point.

anyways, this specific snippet is about great witch shelby, false, and xornoth in the empires universe when the forbidden book opens, so i'm just gonna straight up copy past all my information about that leg of the au below the cut.

False: False Symmetry II is a season 2 pitcher for the Yellowstone Magic, traded to the Core Mechanics after they show up, Mild

S1 Fwhip: Fwhip Rose is a batter for the Chicago Firefighters, Fireeater

S2 Fwhip: Fail Whip (YES THAT'S HIS FULL NAME) is a batter for the Core Mechanics

S1 Gem: Gem Rose is a batter for the Yellowstone Magic, Precognition

S2 Gem: Gemini Tay is a pitcher for the Hellmouth Sunbeams

S1 Joey: Joey [last name TBD] starts season 1 as a batter for the Mexico City Wild Wings, plays for the Shelled One’s Pods, and then falls back to the Wild Wings, Siphon

S2 Joey: Joey Azimuth is a batter for the Atlantis Georgias

S1 Katherine: Katherine Blossom is a “Wild Low” batter in general, through feedback, blessings, etc., she swaps between the LA Unlimited Tacos, Boston Flowers, and Miami Dale a lot, but she started on the Flowers

S2 Katherine: Katherine Grove is batter for the New York Millennials

S1 Lizzie: Lizzie Beans is a pitcher for the Canada Moist Talkers, she’s alternated in season 7 and becomes S2 Lizzie

S2 Lizzie: Lizzie "Shadow Lady" Beans is a batter for the Canada Moist Talkers (she's only got the last name beans by virtue of Blaseball Alt rules)

S1 Sausage: Mythical J Sausage starts season 1 as a batter for the Dallas Steaks, plays for the Shelled One’s Pods, and falls to the Boston Flowers (and also has a big wardrobe and personality change into season 2 Sausage’s whole thing)

Oli: Oli Orionsound is a pitcher for the Seattle Garages

S1 Pix: Pixl Riffs is a pitcher for the Kansas City Breath Mints, roaming, he walks out of hell Pudge Nakamoto style cause I think it’s funny

S2 Pix: Pixl Rifts is a batter for the Baltimore Crabs, and then after shenanigans, Yellowstone Magic

Pearl: Pearl Moon is a batter for the Boston Flowers, then after she dies, she plays for the Hall Stars and is released

S1 Shubble: Shrub Berry is a batter for the Hades Tigers

S2 Shubble: Shelby Moore is a batter for the Yellowstone Magic who dies in season 3 and is resurrected on a joke as a pitcher for the Houston Spies

S1 Scott: Scott Riven is a pitcher for the Seattle Garages, then Bullshit Happens, and sends him to the Shelled One’s Pods and the Hall Stars, where he is eventually released

S2 Scott: Scott Smajor is a batter for the Charleston Shoe Thieves, Flinch

S1 Joel: Joel Beans is a batter for the Hawai’i Fridays

S2 Joel: Joel [last name TBD] is a batter for the San Francisco Lovers, then gets ego and Vaulted, so he plays for the Vault Legends, has the Charm modifier

S1 Jimmy: Jimmy Solidarity is a batter for the Canada Moist Talkers, he is alternated in season 11, and becomes S2 Jimmy, and shortly feedbacked or otherwise traded

S2 Jimmy: Jimmy Solidarity is a batter for the Hellmouth Sunbeams

Xornoth: Xornoth Riven is a pitcher for the Yellowstone Magic, then Bullshit Happens that eventually results in him playing for the Hall Stars and being released

Hermes: Hermes Hermès (tentative name) is a batter for the Miami Dale

Eddie: Eddie Sausage is a batter for the Dallas Steaks

Maria: Maria Sausage is a pitcher for the Tokyo Lift

Sausage, False, Pearl, Xornoth, S2 Shubble, and S2 Pix all have Blaseball character analogues, but everyone else is just hanging out.

Xornoth is this world’s Jaylen. He and Scott are sibling pitchers on different teams with a friendly rivalry- Scott is good, but not on the same level as Xornoth. Xornoth is killed with the opening of the Forbidden Book, and Scott receives the Max Out Pitcher, and takes Xornoth’s place as the best pitcher in the league. The Garages manage to keep him because I don’t want to put him anywhere else, though. 

As previously described, the Forbidden Book opening messes the universes up, and False is thrown into the Empires universe, coming out very scrambled. This is how she ends up with the Mild curse without having played the Pods. Side effect of universe hopping.

Xornoth is necromancied (yes, by the Magic. Don’t worry about it.) in season 6, and returns with Debt. He kills the same players Jaylen did, and also Pearl, who is our Sebastian Telephone stand-in.

Pearl played for the Boston Flowers until her death, and we’re ignoring that time Seb got alternated for this. Sausage is our Jessica Telephone, starting his career on the Dallas Steaks (alongside Eddie). He has his heel arc there, and he’s one of the first players to be Shelled. Scott and Joey are also Shelled at some point.

After Xornoth’s resurrection, his rivalry with Scott becomes a lot less friendly because Xornoth kills people now. At some point in season 9, S2 Pix, Pixl Rifts, a batter for the Crabs, dies. This is a surprise tool that will help up later.

During season 9, Lizzie is alternated and turns into a cat girl. Sorry Joel, no matter how much you attempt to dodge the plot, it will hit you somehow. Your wife is a cat now.

Later is now! The Microphone- who is still Wyatt Mason, dw about it- pulls the repeat history thing, and swaps Xornoth into the Hall with Pix. Yup, he’s our Tillman for this AU. Don’t worry he doesn’t suck. I just thought this worked well and also would be really funny if Oli wrote shutout about him.

Xornoth and Pearl both play for the Hall Stars, alongside the rest of them, and Scott, Sausage, and Joey play for the Shelled One’s Pods, also alongside the others. Scott and Xornoth are the two pitchers swapping throughout the game, and Pearl dies again, and then god is dead yay! When it’s over, the Hall Stars are released, including Scott, Xornoth, and Pearl, because the Monitor lets everyone who played for the team go.

Sausage falls to the Boston Flowers while Joey falls back to the Wild Wings. Sausage then has a character arc that turns him design and personality wise into his season 2 counterpart.

The Expansion teams bring in a few of our season 2 characters, but if they don’t play for an expansion team just assume they’ve been here the whole time. Blaseball has a ton of characters with the same name anyways.

During season 11, Jimmy is alternated as well and becomes his season 2 counterpart. Sorry Joel, the plot has hit you again, your brother-in-law is a cop now. He then gets feedbacked or otherwise traded to the Hellmouth Sunbeams, where his aesthetic is more thematically appropriate.

The only important plot things for the Expansion Era are:

God Joel gets Ego and is taken into the Vault, because of course he does. 

S2 Shelby, who died back during season 3, gets resurrected onto the Spies and gets to go through Chorby Soul chomp hell. However, her debt isn’t rerolled into unstable because I don’t want it to be, so she lives, and eventually stops having so much soul due to getting munched, and gets to be happy. I haven't decided exactly what I want her new mod to be- I've considered precog, but I also want it to be something weather related? IDK, we'll figure it out.

S1 Joel dies with the Fridays in season 24. Don’t worry he gets better.

S2 Pix is also not our Tillman in the sense that Sutton Picklestein doesn’t drag him back to hell because I don’t want them to.

S1 Pix dies at some point but he has roaming, so it’s fine, he just says “If it sucks, hit da bricks” and walks out of the Hall, Pudge Nakamoto style.

False is traded to the Mechanics after gate crash because it’s just wildly more in line with her aesthetic than the Magic.

from “never forget number 46”, a fic about the empires blaseball au

“She knows now, of course, that it was an eclipse- you’re not supposed to look at those, or they’ll burn out your vision- but in the moment, she just tore her eyes away from the bright light and tried to blink the spots out of her vision.”

All this just proves to me that hockey is in fact NOT for everyone, and yes if you are silent, you are compliant. The silence from teams and fans toward Akim's article, the BLM protests and the Leipsic shit is loud. It shows that they acknowledge whats happening but they just simply don't care. In Brazil, the antifa/blm protests that happened today were led by soccer fans and that says a lot to me, its not just a sport, it's so much more.

YES!! That was another thing I wanted to include was Brendan Leipsic’s comments. Nobody said a word about it and it made me so angry. And to your point about soccer players being in the protests- that is so true and I know there are NBA players that are currently at protests. One example being Jaylen Brown from the Boston Celtics is currently in Georgia protesting. The NHL can preach inclusion all they want but they don’t mean it, and then they wonder why hockey isn’t as popular in the U.S. as other sports. Ugh

Down go the champs

SEC football is back in all it’s glory. For some schools, football being back was awesome as they watched their teams start the 2020 campaign with a W. For some, it was fun to see their favorite programs play but disappointing to start the year off with an L. Then there were LSU fans....

The Bayou Bengals became the first defending champs to lose their season opener since 1998 when Notre Dame fell to Michigan. Turns out replacing a Heisman winner, both coordinators, most of the offensive line, top three wide receivers, top running back and the majority of defensive starters is kind of a big deal.

Also, it turns out Mike Leach and his Mississippi State Bulldogs are ready for SEC defenses.

With one data point now available there were some shakeups to this week’s rankings. Let’s take a look. Also a quick note, I decided to drop FEI because it doesn’t appear those rankings are being updated on a weekly basis.

#1.) Alabama 1-0 (—)

SP+: 3 | FPI: 2

Last Game: 38-19 W @ Missouri

I admit that I watched exactly 2 snaps of this game so I don’t have much to offer in the form of analysis. It appears the Crimson Tide took care of business and then cruised to the finish line. Najee Harris scored three touchdowns, Mac Jones was efficient and Jaylen Waddle is still impossible to cover. Not sure there’s a ton to takeaway from this game for either team except that the Tide aren’t going to be surprisingly bad. We will learn more this weekend when the Aggies come to town.

Next Game: vs Texas A&M

#2.) Georgia 1-0 (—)

SP+: 4 | FPI: 6

Last Game: 37-10 W @ Arkansas

Per 247 Composite, there are sixteen former 5-star recruits on Georgia’s 2020 football roster. That’s the most of any program. More than Alabama, Ohio State and Clemson. It’s more than Auburn, Florida, Texas A&M and Tennessee combined. They opened the season with a road trip to Fayetteville to take on a Hog program stuck in the mud. A program with only four more 4-star players than UGA 5-stars.

And yet...

Hilariously, Arkansas took a 7-5 lead into halftime. Redshirt D’Wan Mathis did not look ready for collegiate football and it took the insertion of walk-on Stetson Bennett for the Dawgs to finally take care of business. The offensive line did not look it’s former dominant self either. The biggest question facing UGA heading into 2020 was whether or not this offense could take the next step. So far, it ain’t looking good....

But it might not matter. After allowing a 7 play 91 yard touchdown drive, UGA’s defense allowed only a field goal while picking off Franks three times including taking one back for six points. That’s why I still have them in the #2 spot over the Gators. This offense might not be great again but this defense is good enough to prevent a total meltdown. This weekend will tell us a lot about what this Dawg team is capable of accomplishing this fall.

Next Game: vs Auburn

#3.) Florida 1-0 (—)

SP+: 8 | FPI: 9

Last Game: 51-35 W @ Ole Miss

The University of Florida Fighting Kyles lit up the scoreboard in Oxford over the weekend. Kyle Trask threw for 416 yds and SIX touchdowns Saturday. WR/TE/Freak Kyle Pitts caught 8 of those passes for 170 yards and 4 touchdowns. Needless to say, Ole Miss fans won’t be naming any kids Kyle in the near future.

But while the offense was spectacular, that Gator defense had some serious struggles. I expected Ole Miss to put some points on the board but I didn’t see 600+ yards coming. The main concern I had about this UF team heading into 2020 was whether or not this defense was good enough to slow folks down. As of now, that question remains unanswered. It will be interesting to see how they look against an ok South Carolina team this weekend.

Next Game: vs South Carolina

#4.) Auburn 1-0 (+1)

SP+: 6 | FPI: 7

Last Game 29-13 W vs Kentucky

Auburn had the 2nd best win of the weekend taking down a veteran, physical Kentucky squad. The Wildcats controlled the first half for the most part but the Tigers dominated the 2nd half and were able to come away with a somewhat comfortable win.

Bo Nix looked good in his 2020 debut and Seth Williams is gonna be a problem for a lot of defenses this fall. Defensively, Auburn got knocked around early but settled down in the 2nd half. The big question is still the offensive line which performed admirably in their season debut but must improve if the Tigers are going to end that awful drought in Athens on Saturday.

Next Game: @ Georgia

#5.) Mississippi State 1-0 (+7)

SP+: 38 | FPI: 35

Last Game: 44-34 W @ LSU

Ok so I got a lot of apologizing to do to State fans. I thought this State team would be pretty bad this year. Sure Leach added an outstanding grad transfer at QB in K.J. Costello over the off-season but cmon... This Mississippi State team isn’t exactly overflowing with talent especially at the skill position (sans Kylin Hill). And that defense lost some major contributors and are switching to a brand new scheme. They will be luck to win 3 games I thought...

Welp....

Turns out this team is ready to create mayhem in the SEC. Costello carved up that vaunted DBU secondary and if he hadn’t kept turning the ball over this game might have been a legit blowout. Costello set the single game SEC passing record throwing for 623 yards and 5 touchdowns. Three State players crossed the century mark including star tailback Kylin Hill.

I don’t know how this season goes for Mississippi State but it’s definitely going to go much better than I expected. Gotta give an immense amount of credit to Leach and his coaching staff. They came out ready to go and made a massive statement this past weekend.

Next Game: vs Arkansas

#6.) Tennessee 1-0 (+1)

SP+: 24 | FPI: 30

Last Game: 31-27 W @ South Carolina

I picked Tennessee to lose this game but the Vols were able to make less mistakes than the Cocks and a few more big plays to escape with the W. It wasn’t necessarily an impressive performance but it was effective. The Dawgs look vulnerable and Tennessee has more talent than Kentucky. Can Jeremy Pruitt capitalize and make that final game of the year against UF the de facto SEC East championship?

Next Game: vs Missouri

#7.) Texas A&M 1-0 (-1)

SP+: 19 | FPI: 19

Last Game: 17-12 W vs Vanderbilt

Technically, Texas A&M won Saturday. But if anyone ventured over to the SEC Alternate channel to watch this cluster of a game, you probably didn’t come away super impressed with the supposed top challenger to the Tide in the West.

Turns out Kellen Mond is still Kellen Mond. That offensive line is still pretty bad and losing all that WR production is not easily replaced. I don’t think things are going to go well in Tuscaloosa this weekend....

Next Game: @ Alabama

#8.) Kentucky 0-1 (—)

SP+: 43 | FPI: 27

Last Game: 13-29 L @ Auburn

For one half of football, it looked like the Wildcats had a shot at living up to the preseason hype. Maybe this is the year they could go on the road into an SEC West venue against a ranked opponent and get the W. Then the 2nd half kicked off...

A disastrous 4th quarter resulted in a frustrating L for Big Blue Nation and they don’t get to lick their wounds. An explosive Rebel attack is set to visit Lexington and if Terry Wilson doesn’t get those turnovers cleaned up they could very well be 0-2 this time next week. I still think though this is top 3 team in the SEC East. We will see if they can get right against the Lane Train.

Next Game: vs Ole Miss

#9.) LSU 0-1 (-5)

SP+: 25 | FPI: 13

Last Game: 34-44 L vs Mississippi State

Turns out you can’t just easily replace literally your whole organization following a national championship. Weird huh?

It didn’t take long for LSU fans to learn that the Myles Brennan and Bo Pelini hype ain’t for real. The Tigers new QB struggled much of the day and wasn’t helped by drops and a porous offensive line. Pelini refused to switch out of his man defense and allowed Mike Leach to put on a clinic on how to beat it over and over again. There are some serious problems on this LSU team and I don’t know if they can all get fixed in the coming weeks.

Fortunately, a trip to play a not very good Vanderbilt team should get Ed O back to .500. However, if LSU wants any shot at a repeat they gotta find a way to adjust to this new world.

Next Game: @ Vanderbilt

#10.) Ole Miss 0-1 (-1)

SP+: 44 | FPI: 37

Last Game: 35-51 L vs Florida

I honestly didn’t wanna move Ole Miss down a spot it just kinda happened. The Rebels showed they are exactly who I thought they were over the weekend. An explosive but inconsistent offense paired with a very bad defense. The Rebels are going to give DCs around the SEC headaches but they are going to need some stops on the other side of the ball if they wanna string together any Ws. Big opportunity to make a statement this weekend against a frustrated Kentucky team.

Next Game: @ Kentucky

#11.) South Carolina 0-1 (—)

SP+: 34 | FPI: 40

Last Game: 27-31 L vs Tennessee

South Carolina has mastered losing to Tennessee in frustrating fashion. They fought to the bitter end but a punt off the backside of a blocker ended any opportunity of a dramatic finish. Offensively, South Carolina looked ok. It’s clear outside of Shi Smith this team is lacking in terms of play makers. This Saturday is a must win for Coach Boom.

Next Game: @ Missouri

#12.) Missouri 0-1 (-2)

SP+: 48 | FPI: 42

Last Game: 19-38 L vs Alabama

As I said above, I didn’t really watch this game so I got nothing really to say about this Mizzou squad other than they covered and that’s all that really mattered.

Next Game: @ Tennessee

#13.) Vanderbilt 0-1 (+1)

SP+: 110 | FPI: 68

Last Game: 12-17 L @ Texas A&M

They did their darndest to pull the stunner but then they are also Vanderbilt so of course it didn’t happen. I was impressed overall with the Dores performance though and rewarded them with what will likely be their highest ranking of the season. No way LSU loses this game too right?

Next Game: vs LSU

#14.) Arkansas 0-1 (-1)

SP+: 75 | FPI: 59

Last Game: 10-37 L vs Georgia

For one half of football, Arkansas stood toe to toe with one of the giants of the SEC. Hog fans rejoiced that maybe just maybe Sam Pittman was going to do the impossible. Then reality hit like a train in the 2nd half...

Outside of a few skill players on offense and the best named linebacker in the country in Bumper Pool, this program is devoid of SEC caliber talent. Feleipe Franks is still not a great quarterback. With Mississippi State not being the dumpser fire as hoped, I am not sure there’s a W on this schedule for the Hogs....

Next Game: @ Mississippi State

War Eagle!

2. Meaning of name "Liam" and "Emma"

Liam:

Liam's name is the name of a boy of Irish origin meaning "resolute protection".

Liam originated as the nickname of Uilliam, the Irish variant of William. William is an English name from German origin brought to Ireland when the British fled England after the conquest of Norman.

The Irish began to use English names, including William, which led to the development of Uilliam and its short form, Liam.

Liam is the top US boy's name for 2018, joining the elite group of names to top the list. Liam started out as a short form of William but has long stood on his own and for several years has become one of the most popular baby names for boys.

Now it is the fastest-growing Irish name in the United States, first entering the Top 10 in 2012 and before climbing to No. 1, holding No. 2 for four consecutive years.

Emma:

Initially, a short form of the German name beginning with the ermen element meaning "whole" or "universal". It was introduced to England by Emma of Normandy, who was the wife of King Ethelred II (and by him the mother of Edward the Confession) and later King Canute.

After the Norman conquest, this name became popular in England. It was revived in the 18th century, perhaps in part because of a poem by Henry Prior Henry and Emma (1709). In the United States, it ranked third in 1880 (after Mary and Anna were omnipresent).

It declined steadily over the next century, beginning another rise in the 1980s and eventually becoming the most popular name for girls in 2008.

At this time it also experienced similar levels of popularity elsewhere, including the United Kingdom (where it began rising a decade earlier), Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Scandinavia, and the Netherlands.
