Reese's Gang

This is a pretty unorganized post, but I wanted to get this out there because I'm in a share my Backyard Sports world mood. XD. Let me know if you want more!

Core members:

-Reese Worthington (leader)

Reese's positions: 3rd base (Baseball), Central Midfielder (Soccer), Wide Receiver (Football), Forward (Basketball), Center (Hockey)

-Felix Grant (NPC generic)

Felix's positions: Shortstop (Baseball), Forward (Soccer), Wide Receiver (Football), Forward (Basketball), Left Wing (Hockey)

-Ace Patterson (Rookie Rush).

Ace's positions: Pitcher/2ndbase/Left Field (Baseball), Midfielder (Soccer), Quarterback (Football), Center (Basketball), Right Wing (Hockey).

-Jett Hawke (my OC)

Jett's positions: Catcher (Baseball), Defender (Soccer), Linebacker (Football), Defender (Basketball), Defender (Hockey).

Marky DuBois is consistently teamed up with them, and is often seen as the "Token Good Teammate", as he doesn't involve himself with their antics, which is why he's not really referred to as being in the gang. It's not uncommon to see him hanging around them off the field as well.

Marky's positions: 2nd base or relief pitcher (Baseball), Defender (Soccer), Tight end (Football), Defender (Basketball), Defender (Hockey).

Origin: The group started after Reese was teamed up with them randomly, then was made captain after being pledged by the other three. Reese used to be picked last or near last in recruiting teams. While at first he didn't mind as he would rather read comics or play video games and eating potato chips, he would often be benched or picked last too many times and overhear ("well we got to pick him right?") that he sought to get back at everybody, so teams up with three of the town's top athletes.

Team(s):

Rockets - Baseball, Football, Soccer

Trash-Talkers - Basketball

Walruses - Hockey

Colors: Green (primary), Black (secondary).

Home field:

Sandy Flats (Baseball, Football, Soccer, Basketball)

Ice Castle Arcade (Hockey)

I headcanon that Ice Castle Arcade is located at Sandy Flats and that Shark Belly Shores (that includes the boardwalk) is another part of town on the coast. (Like uptown/downtown).

Rivals: Melonheads (Captained by Pablo), Hornets/Hammers/Llamas (Captained by Kiesha--teamed with Stephanie Morgan, Jocinda Smith, and Vicki Kawaguchi), All-Stars/Rim-Rattlers/Slushballs (Captained by Tony), Hot-Doggers/Polar Bears (basketball/hockey - captained by Dante Robinson).

In addition Reese has a personal rivalry with Stephanie, who is on Kiesha's team. The two used to argue who was better as a hockey goalie. One season the two teamed up and Stephanie won the goalie bid. After Stephanie returned to her usual team, Reese picked Kenny Kawaguchi to be their goalie via a 3 way trade with the Llamas and Polar Bears. The Walruses initially picked up Kimmy Eckman from the Llamas so Stephanie can go to the Walruses, but due to Reese and Kimmy not liking each other and Kimmy and Dante's eating habits, they agreed to an immediate trade where Kenny went to Reese's team and Kimmy went to Dante's.

They are most favorited in Football and Hockey, however, they are competitive in every sport. If they make the playoffs in basketball or baseball, they are usually a low seed.

The league has a social app, BackSports, that allows the Backyard Kids to communicate and Reese's gang loves to use it to trash talk and be annoying, usually at the expense of the teams their facing/have beaten, examples:

"Maca-DON'T" (on Joey Macadoo), "Time to beat those spoiled fruit" (on the Melonheads). "If only Achmed was as good as dribbling as half as good as he is at drumming" (on Achmed).

After a defeat, however, their accounts are usually quiet while everyone else has fun at their expense for their loss after showboating before the game.

They like to trash talk on the field as well. Mr. Clanky has given them numerous unsportsmanlike penalties, which they often voice frustration over being unfairly targeted. They can also be seen talking big in the school cafeteria, seeking out the tables of the other captains and comment how they look forward to beating them.

One of their most infamous off-field antics involved going into Pablo's backyard and dressing his dog in a Rockets jersey.

They do agree to keep their crushes off limits from their antics. Jett has a crush on Sidney so they don't bother her or her twin sister Ashley (since doing so would make Sidney mad). Felix Grant has a crush on Betty Houston so they don't go after her either. Finally, as a favor to Marky, they don't annoy BillieJean Blackwood either.

During a hockey game against the Melonheads, Pablo skated over to Jett and bumped into him, and Jett reacted in a way that won't win him any Oscars, but they took advantage of Clanky's crapshoot AI, and the penalty was called on Pablo. The Walruses scored on the ensuing powerplay and won the game. Dmitri then made modifications to Clanky to detect deception, and Reese's gang hated Dmitri ever since. As payback, the Walruses would go on to eliminate Dmitri's team (Igloos) in the playoffs. Reese, skating by Dmitri comments in the postgame handshakes, "Too bad you didn't rig Clanky to win you games".

Speaking of off the field, when not playing the gang can usually be seen hanging out at Ice Castle Arcade.

Biggest Accomplishment: Defeated Jimmy Knuckles' Monsters in the Gridiron Grits Cereal Bowl. The one time the neighborhood cheered for Reese's team as the lesser of two evils. What helps is they had other players like Marky, Sidney (cornerback), Mikey Thomas (defensive line/center), and Angela Delvecchio (kicker) to balance them out.

Most Embarrassing Loss: In one season of Backyard Baseball, the Rockets needed to win just one of their last remaining games to go to the playoffs. In the first game, they lose to the league leading Melonheads, but no threat because their final game of the season is against the winless Socks team, captained by Ronny Dobbs. In a series of errors: Ace threw a wild pitch past the catcher, Jett, to score a run, and another run came from a popup that the four couldn't communicate on and they all collide into each other. Reese was the final out of the game, grounding out but in a desperate attempt to get to first, dives and just lands face first into the dirt. Parents of the Socks players wore clown costumes to have their team's winless season have a lighthearted end, but at the end of the game, Jett reflects: "There were so many clowns. And yet, we were the biggest ones." Their loss allowed the Hornets to clinch the final playoff spot. Their BackSports accounts were quiet for days.

Most dramatic win: In the Clanky Cup Finals, the game went to overtime. Jett dumps the pass into the Llamas end that bounces off the boards and right to Reese who dekes around Stephanie to shoot the puck into the net to win the Clanky Cup.

The team they lose to the most is Pablo Sanchez and the Melonheads. They defeat Joey's team, the Knights the most and don't really see him as a threat and go after him the most with their antics since he responds the way they want more so than anyone. The team with the most balanced rivalry is with Kiesha's teams as they both have shared big wins and heartbreaking losses to each other.

As for the commentators, Vinnie the Gooch and Buddy Cheque are their biggest supporters, enjoying their embrace to playing heel. Sunny Day, while usually calling neutral lets her enthusiasm show when a more respected captain like Pablo or Kiesha defeat them, but at the same time, doesn't shy away from complimenting them when they win, usually highlighting the play of one of their kinder players.

Best and Worst Result per sport:

Baseball:

Best: Game 7 extra-innings defeat in the semi-finals vs. Melonheads on a Pablo walkoff.

Worst: Missed the playoffs.

Soccer:

Best: Won the BSL Championship

Worst: Qualifying Rounds defeat.

Football:

Best: Won the Cereal Bowl (2x)

Worst: Lost in Conference Finals to the Hornets at home after a record breaking season on offense and defense.

Basketball:

Best: Game 5 loss in the semi-finals to the Melonheads after being up 2 games to 1 before losing games 4 and 5.

Worst: Missed the playoffs.

Hockey:

Best: Won the Clanky Cup (3x)

Worst: Qualifying Round defeat.

Hope you all enjoyed reading! Let me know if you want more!

Presenting the second installment in my Pokémon cocktail line - The Petal Dance! (Mk I)

•1 oz Three Olives Cherry Vodka

•0.5 oz De Kuyper Sour Apple Pucker

•1 oz Martinelli’s Apple Juice

•0.5 oz homemade sweet & sour mix

•0.3 SugarBee apple, sliced (for garnish)

Venusaur is #003 in the Pokédex, and for the longest time, was #1 in my heart. He was on the box art for the first Pokémon game I ever played (Leaf Green), and was crucial to my success in speedrunning Parallel Emerald. I wanted to go with something green I could garnish with red to evoke his color scheme as well as his Grass/Poison typing, and I felt like my options were either a Midori cocktail, or something with sour apple pucker - I’m not the biggest melonhead, so we went with the latter, especially since I recently fell in love with sugarbee apples. The biggest takeaway from tonight is that I’d LOVE to try making my own Granny Smith liqueur. 🐸🌺🍏

look twitter before melonhead took over wasn’t the greatest but i feel like in the before times, you could read the replies under a video of a team from aotearoa performing the haka before a game and see people mostly saying things like “wow, so cool” and not just. shameless racism and xenophobia

I never take refference photos of tock tutti because she's fatter in my mind than in the game (and i have yet to find a fat mod that makes her as fat as she is) but you know sometimes its good to just have a refference of your own oc on hand straight from the video game. [grabs her head] melonhead

Ace Patterson Headcanons

In honor of Ace Patterson's birthday here is some head canons I have of him.

Ace Patterson plays the following positions:

Baseball: Pitcher/2nd base/Left field

Football: Quarterback

Soccer: Midfielder

Basketball: Center

Hockey: Right Wing

-He likes to talk about all the military airplanes he's flown on.

-Imagines himself as a fighter pilot.

-Ace Patterson holds the BFL Record for most passing yards in a single season. Unfortunately for him, this season didn't end in a Cereal Bowl Championship, but a crushing loss in the Conference Championship to the Hornets (Kiesha, Jocinda, Stephanie, Vicki, Arthur Chen, and Amir team).

-That said, he does have two Cereal Bowl Championship, one having taken down Jimmy Knuckles's Monsters.

-Is a B average student.

-Favorite power up pitch is the corkscrew as it reminds him of aerial barrel rolls.

-I never said this in my old post but lately I thought of him and my OC Jett being close friends because they both have aerial type themes. One of their highlight moments came in a BHL Playoff game where Ace and Jett were on a 2 on 0 and Ace passed to Jett to score the game winning goal against their arch rival, the Melonheads.

WIP GAME

@violetstar-writes tagged me in this game and I decided to make my own post so the OP didn’t lose their dash. 

Rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have wips. (You can make your own post or reblog this one!)  I have deemed that this isn’t just for writing either. Sketch titles? Comics? Dnd campaigns? If you have an unfinished project, it counts!!

Some of these live on Ao3 and are in the process of being finished. If you ask about them, I will share the link. The rest are projects I want to write in the future, so they’re bulleted or just like, half a chapter is written.
