#neerie mccloud

[orbleglorb]

wanted to do three days in a row of blasetober drawings, so. here's some georgias at ~10:30 pm

[ID: a drawing of neerie mccloud being swept back from elsewhere, with a tumblr post by gayarsonist at the top, which reads: "accidentally indulged in too much 'me time', turns out i've been reported missing for over six months and presumed dead by most local and national authorities." neerie is a brown person with a cloud for hair, wearing a brown aviators jacket, black shorts, and a teal shirt. neerie looks a little surprised. /end ID]

[ID: a drawing of nanci grackle "saying" the following tumblr post by precariouswizardry: "'poor lab safety' this. 'hazardous work environment' that. fucking live a little," while holding a vial of mysterious liquid and a petri dish of a mysterious black substance and rolling xer eyes. the next panel shows niq nyong'o responding with charlesoberonn's reply to that post, which reads, "'A little' is exactly how much time you'll live." Nanci is a fat white person with spiky black hair and wearing a bright green jacket with purple fur trim over a pink tshirt. niq is a fat black kenyan woman with her hair done in braids and wearing a muted green cardigan over a yellow shirt. the right arm on the cardigan is knotted to accommodate her amputated arm. /end ID]

Blaseball as text posts, part 6! Art by HetreaSky!

[wayslidecool]

here! have another batch of beta georgias text post memes. because yuo're epic.

(most minis by HetreaSky, Nanci Grackle mini by myself)

(part 1, part 3)

[doctorwhoisadhd]

im probably not the first person to say this but the parallels between neerie mccloud being the longest time spent elsewhere of any player and zephyr mccloud being the very first cant loser and therefore wandering all around the league

YURTS BUTTERCUP: Georgias player from Season β12 to Season β24. Started as one of our weakest hitters, but an Infuse and many parties turned them into a player worth cheering for, leading to "YURTSYURTSYURTS" being repeated in Georgias chats ad-nauseam. A dependable player that stuck with the team until Fall Ball. There's smudged writing on my hand that reads "CAPRI-SUN," but I'm not sure why. Currently a hitter for the Dale.

NEERIE MCCLOUD: Georgias player from Season β12 until Season β24. Got Shadowed while Elsewhere, and stayed there for the bulk of Expansion, only to make a triumphant return in Season β23, now a respectable hitter after many seasons of buffs and alternations. Currently a hitter on the Mechanics, where fae has since been alternated again.

🧐 & 🤲

OH I FORGOT I PUT AN ASK GAME IN MY QUEUE

i am absolutely open to questions though

🧐 Do you spend much time researching for your stories?

if there's a "write a blaseball fic without the use of reblase and/or the wiki" test, i fail it every single time 😌

🤲 Would you please share a snippet of a wip?

let me consult my Mountain of WIPs....oh! how about some elsewhere jessica telephone i started writing during spooky month and then abandoned

“Here, you’ll need this.”

Jessica rolls her eyes as Neerie McCloud hands her a fold-out map. It’s fairly well detailed, with handwritten notes scribbled in the margins. A set of paths is outlined in red, indicating trails that have been designated “safe” for people who wish to leave the Wlaffle House.

It’s a nice map, but she doesn’t intend to follow it.

“Now, listen very closely,” Neerie says, her eyes fixed on Jessica’s. “Don’t stray from the path. The trees are marked for your safety.”

“Got it, got it,” Jessica mumbles, clearly disinterested.

“I’m serious. You don’t know what’s out there. You could get lost and not be able to find your way back. You could end up getting caught in a storm. You could run into something out there.”

Jessica raises an eyebrow. “Go on.”

“About what?”

“What kind of something is out there?”

i'll get back to that at some point. it's a jessica voicemail origin story >:)

(jessica voicemail isn't exactly my interpretation of alt jess but she is very fun to write)

[whales-are-gay]

any Cs? (for the oc ask game)

no C ocs sadly :(

i currently have an unnamed oc that i've been doodling in my phonetics notes. i havent taken pics of them yet tho. they're based on fandesigns of king weatherman and my design for neerie mccloud

if they were to be a dnd character, i'd say air genasi wizard or sorcerer. they have one of those rain capelets, like that goes to a little above the elbow, and they have an ascot. stormcloud hair

mmm maybe celia or ciela for a name? very lazy, but i cant think of c names rn

[lenasai]

[KICKS THE DOOR DOWN] hi. >:)

i'm gonna put this under a cut because it's gonna be long as fuck (and probably incoherent because i'm eepy)

okay so picture this, it's season 14. early expansion era, starting to get just a little fucky, but not "holy shit this is too much" (that's season 19)

anyway: me, garages fan, looking at the stadium renovation options like "yeah no way are we gonna pick this weird mystery option"

because you see, all we really knew about that renovation was that it had something to do with feedback weather, which the garages had a love/hate relationship with. it would make sense under most circumstances for the musician team to like the sound-based weather, but it also burned us pretty bad in the past (most notably our beloved mayor and major plot character jaylen hotdogfingers, but also avila guzman, who has multiple songs written about her.)

okay anyway, latesiesta arrived. checked the results and....holy shit the garages voted for the mystery renovation

little did we know building the psychoacoustics renovation came with a ✨FREE LITTLE GUY!✨ wow! this ended up helping our secret "expand band" plan >:)

anyway there were twelve other free little guys distributed to the league, and ours was the tenth, so we named xem "max" (a shortening of "mason x") and immediately got attached (oops!)

and we went "how lovely! we got a free little guy with a strange new modification attached! i sure hope xe doesn't face any immediate existential threats! :)"

and then on day 73, we found out that strange new modification let xem copy the modifications of random opponents in feedback weather (and teammates in reverb, but that's not super relevant)

and we went "how fun! look, xe has someone else's mods! i sure hope this doesn't have any negative effects! :)"

sure, we wondered what might happen if two of the little guys played each other in feedback weather, but we didn't think too much of it until it happened on day 77. things went mostly normal until partway through the game, when--

holy shit they 💥Fucking Exploded💥

and everyone in chat was like "holy shit! they Fucking Exploded!" (except they couldn't say that exactly in maincord because no cursing - also i don't think "exploded" was colloquial for static players until after we found out megan ito went to superhell)

and the garages were like "oh no :("

and everyone else who got a free little guy that was still standing at this point was like "oh no :("

anyway to make a long story short, only two of the masons survived...but good news, max was one of them! :)

the other survivor was the tacos pitcher, whomst they named ivy because they were the fourth one and unlike parker, they used actual roman numerals instead of tally marks. i got very attached to them as well by association with max

so that's how they got into that predicament: being the last two survivors who could explode each other with just one bad schedule. and that's when i started really paying attention to the Forbidden Knowledge™ at the beginning of each season.

of course max did the funniest thing possible at the end of season 14 and just fucking teleported xemself to the elsewhere wlaffle house by yoinking the elsewhere mod from schneider bendie (and at that point we were like "yeah i guess that's a thing that can happen. not gonna question it!")

the following is purely personal lore because i have a lot of interconnected headcanons about elsewhere and the people who pass through the wlaffle house

so because max didn't get swept elsewhere, xe's completely immune from the effects of scattering, which is great if you want to go walking around in the woods. you don't have to worry about losing track of where--or perhaps even who--you are.

this fact is extremely useful to one neerie mccloud, who was shadowed while elsewhere and therefore unable to return at this point. by this point, neerie has her own ways of coping with the effects of being out there, but to get really deep into the woods, she needs someone who can handle being in the woods longer.

max becomes neerie's assistant for long-term forest expeditions, mostly in mapping out safe paths for players who get swept and finding players who are lost in the woods. xe takes on the role of the seeker and treats it very seriously, perhaps to the detriment of xer own well-being at times. see, max has a very keen survival instinct, but xe also leans toward self-sacrifice sometimes. thankfully xe's never had to put xemself between another player and something lurking in the woods...

(oh also xe gets a cool cape here 😌)

some folks say max doesn't want to play blaseball because xe ends up elsewhere so much during the expansion era, but you look at what happened to xem right before that first time and you can probably understand why xe would not want to be playing (and xe eventually ended up getting swept elsewhere more than not getting swept by the end of expansion. i guess the elsewhere just really likes xem)

as for ivy, they were on a team with a short rotation and had to play every three days. this just so happened to line up with four games in which their siblings exploded. no pressure! :)

here's a fun fact: they almost lost their day 99 game when quitter and vi exploded because shortly after it happened, they let in four runs and the worms got very close to the tacos' score before the offense came in to back ivy up.

their claim to fame in my eyes happened in season 20, when they were in the same league as max. see, ivy got traded to the georgias via wimdy (1% vote) in the season 17 elections (inconvenient for them but not too bad) and then to the steaks in the season 19 elections (VERY BAD!)

somehow, they managed to never meet the garages in feedback that season, but when the sim asked them to push the plot button, they said "okay" and yoinked the hard-boiled modifier from uncle plasma and did Cool Detective Shit™

one season later, we found out all the detective messages in the feed gave everyone a red herring to use in the library, and i was so proud when someone made a list of all the detective feed messages and it was all uncles plasma and liquid friends....and one from ivy mason :)

i'm so proud of them. that's my favorite herring

the steaks did us a huge solid and moved ivy to the shadows as soon as possible because, you know...they were both still in danger of Fucking Exploding - and it was a good thing they did because the garages and steaks did play each other in feedback once, but nothing bad happened because ivy was safe in the shadows

and somehow they managed to not only survive blaseball itself, but they also did a bit of god killing >:)

okay so the reason they got pulled onto their teams was because the coin, who had previously tried to fucking drown them in immateria, set up the psychoacoustics renovation as a trap just to make sure none of them would survive. they both ended up on rogue teams who "died" so they could get cool fire powers from binky and incinerate the coin.

(oh, and here's another fun fact about ivy: at this point, they were holding a squiddish ring and the mods of the last player to get incinerated in the expansion era, peanut holloway.)

anyway i'm still putting thoughts together re: the black hole and its relation to elsewhere (see: "blaseball is elsewhere" after the end of season 24) and what it means for the players who didn't fall during fall ball and the coronation era. i do think the players who were up there come out of the black hole eventually, which would include max

as for ivy, they spent the short circuits period in the vault, where they had plenty of access to the library and other sources of information they could use to figure out what the fuck was happening with the microphone. of course, as we found out, at the end of each circuit, the mic ate a bunch of players and they Fucking Exploded. ivy did not take this very well at all, but instead of avoiding it completely, they threw themself into their research to try and get some answers.

unfortunately, we didn't get any further macrophone plot, but i think ivy deserved to tear it apart with their bare hands :)

i think after blaseball ends, they eventually figure things out with help from some friends and all the formerly exploded guys get un-exploded. also max gets reunited with ivy whenever xe finally gets out of the black hole. the kids deserve a happy ending.

okay that's all for now, if you read all that you get a cookie 🍪

okay while people are reading my blase posts i am so far behind on player lore. somebody tell the story of their favorite player so i can cheer or cry a lot or reblog it 10,000 times and hype them up to all my friends

[burningcrab]

🌻 siobhan chark 🥺

what if i don’t want to go home, about siobhan chark trying very hard to go elsewhere to save neerie and being unable to because of her flippers mod. just getting worse and worse as time goes by and mint is doing fine in san fran and siobhan is just. really struggling to move on. it burns that she can’t go after neerie whether she wants to or not

Siobhan dreams of faer again. She dreams of that damn day that she’s dreamt of so many times. Neerie’s face is front and center for all of it. The one thing that comforts Siobhan is that Neerie looks happy. She was on fire that day, carving the Dale apart. Home run, three runs scored. Home run, three runs scored. Triple, two runs scored.

Siobhan dreams of Neerie bouncing in place on third, waving at the fans who were roaring faer name. Getting more and more excited as Herc and Jan walked their way into loaded bases. She’d winked at Mint and Siobhan, then. See you at home. Neerie’s favorite joke whenever the two of them were on base ahead of her.

And then the crystal-clear water of the Bubble ran oily, spectral white, a colorless rainbow of immateria.

Hercules nearly coughed up a lung when he washed up in the dugout. Jan had lost her hat and was more cross about that than losing her base.

And Neerie wasn’t there. In her dream, the realization hit immediately — no confusion, no fear, no searching with Mint until they had to be dragged up to bat. Just a gut-wrenching certainty: Neerie had finally gone somewhere Siobhan couldn’t follow.

[bread--quest]

happy neerie mccloud returning from elsewhere one year anniversary!!!!!! (head in hands.) i wanted to write something about her bc i love her but didnt want to make it a Whole Thing so you get tumblr exclusive fic written and posted on tumblr only. wrow

3 games, 2 floods, 1 neerie mccloud

one,

its season 13, day 84, and it's flooding in the Bubble. the not-quite-water soaks into neerie's shoes and she makes a face, lifting one foot up to inspect it. the stuff drips off her foot not quite like honey and not quite like syrup but something in that general area, shifting colors as she looks at it.

she doesn't like looking at it.

they're playing well today. they try to play well every day. they cheer and whoop for siobhan and for mint before them. mint on 2nd and niq on 3rd look to them as it's their turn at bat. they let a ball fly past, and another, and then--

there.

that's a great feeling, some part of neerie thinks as they run the bases, immateria splashing around them. that moment when everything seems to click into place. it feels like discovery.

fae does it again, even. fae's on top of the world, fae feels, two 3-run home runs in one game, that's amazing, that's really something. bottom of the 7th and the georgias are way ahead. mint and siobhan both walk ahead of faer and fae knows it's up to faer to bring them home.

neerie lets two balls fly past, like she did before, and swings.

it's not quite a home run. but it's a triple, which is almost good enough, and she brings mint and siobhan home.

she waits for her chance, stretching the moment. jan and hercules on the other two bases. this is going to be great.

gita steps up to bat and there's a sound. it's like the reverse of draining. it's like the end of the world.

their feet go out from under them and they fall and they fall and they never stop falling.

Neerie McCloud is swept Elsewhere!

two,

its season 23, day 97, and there's a solar eclipse over Hellmouth.

--- washes up on shore and there are only four things --- knows.

--- is not Elsewhere.

--- wants to be Elsewhere.

the dark orb in the sky with the ring of fire around it is very, very bad.

how to swing a bat.

--- doesn't know anything else. not --- name, or team, or where --- came from. --- sways on --- feet as --- tries to stand, unused to the lack of supporting immateria.

someone reaches out towards --- and --- flinches away, startled by sudden proximity to other people. slowly, --- makes --- way to a bench and sits. everything feels shaky and uncertain, and --- misses Elsewhere like a missing limb.

the game passes in a blur. at some point, someone is on fire, slamming their bat into the ball and making it trace across the sky like a comet. at some point, ------ hits the ball. once maybe --- catches it. everything hurts. it is so much just to stand. everything is so fast, so loud, and --- doesn't understand any of it. --- hits the ball and it flies and is caught and balloons drift up into the sky. ------ wishes --- could drift with them.

Neerie McCloud returned from Elsewhere after 10 seasons!

three.

it is season 24, day 19, and it is flooding in the Bubble.

n----- -----d hates it.

they run through the outfield to catch a ball and the immateria splashes around them and they hate it. they stand at bat and their head is too foggy to swing and they don't even realize they're meant to walk until someone gently pushes them and they hate it. they stare down at the immateria swirling softly around their feet and they know it wants them back and they hate it.

it shoves her from place to place, catching ground outs and fly outs, and she wants to scream and curse and fight the current but her throat is sore from screaming for years for someone to find her and oh, wasn't it easier to be Elsewhere and not n----- -----d? wasn't it?

fae is at bat again and no no no no no it was horrible being Elsewhere and fae lets two balls fly past and hits a Triple and looks but mint and siobhan aren't going home. mint is on the wrong side of the field and siobhan's not there at all. there's no one left for n----- -----d.

A surge of Immateria rushes up from Under!

Baserunners are swept from play!

no no no no no no--their elbow hits the ground before their head does and they flail and scream and slam their feet against the ground and keep their head above what is not water and they stand up. they are breathing. they are still here.

they do not risk a base again. they hit a ground out and mint catches it. she can't look at him. she can't look at anyone.

fae can look at faerself. fae stares at faer reflection warped and blurred in the immateria after the game, kneeling in the outfield still breathing.

randy finds her out there, a weird, lone figure sitting in the immateria in the dark. mint asked her to check and randy doesn't like breaking promises so she will check but gods that girl is fucking creepy. randy wades out to get faer and fae's bent over, scooping immateria into faer hands and trying to lift it to faer mouth. it keeps falling between faer fingers, which seem to be not entirely there.

randy represses a shudder and puts a hand on faer shoulder. faer turns faer head to stare at her like a startled animal, eyes dripping immateria.

she's still a person, randy tries to convince herself. or--something, anyway. and fae needs to get out of here.

"come on," randy says. "let's get you home."

There are swathes of Neerie's life — probably most of her life, all told — that can be boiled down into half a dozen sentences. Like it was nothing at all.

Elsewhere, though, elsewhere feels real. It always has. (3k. For @candidateofloyalty.)

RIGBY FRIEDRICH: Georgias player from Season β12 to Season β24. Notable for being the Georgias' star pitcher in the Expansion Era. Also the Georgias' star batter for a few seasons. Look, Rigby was really, really good at Blaseball. Has a winning spirit, which may have extended a few eclipse games for longer than necessary. Currently buried in Seattle somewhere. Previous opponents: Poseidon, Siobhan Chark, Nanci Grackle, Randy Dennis

NEERIE MCCLOUD: Georgias player from Season β12 until Season β24. Got Shadowed while Elsewhere, and stayed there for the bulk of Expansion, only to make a triumphant return in Season β23, now a respectable hitter after many seasons of buffs and alternations. Currently a hitter on the Mechanics, where fae has since been alternated again. Previous opponents: Jenkins Ingram, Yurts Buttercup, Ji-Eun Clove, Lady Matsuyama
