#who chose that music!!

hey so if you had to sort the stars into a baseball fielding lineup...

so honestly this is something i've been thinking about for like a year now because last opening day i got struck with the desire to write a robotter baseball AU!! and then wrestled with the dual desires to a) add more of the team into the au and b) be Baseball Accurate and not have an mlb team of all white boys -robo, many of whomst are european and probably actually Did Not Know what a baseball game looked like until the rangers won the WS this past season & they all went to a game together, as besties. i made a whole post about it (the baseball AU dilemma, not the rangers winning the WS).

when i did put some of my Thoughts down in a plotting doc this is what i came up with:

and i do think otter & wedgie as catchers, miro as a pitcher, and the top line as the outfield (robo left field, roope center field, pavs right field) still feels Right!

since that's most of a team anyway, let's round out the rest of a starting lineup (and maybe toss in a couple of other pitchers so miro can have a break every once in a while, because i care) —

per this article, jamie played first base, outfield, and pitched a little when he played baseball so he can be our first baseman because even though i by & large Do Not Engage with him much anymore, it just makes sense.

this interaction between wyatt & bobby witt jr. is deeply important to me (i have the beginning of a cross-sport arranged marriage fic centering on these two in my wip folder) (i will probably finish it off this summer) so for Bobby Witt Jr. Is A Shortstop reasons, wyatt is also a shortstop.

and actually just to round out the fact that we've got all of the top line in the outfield and most of the third line in the infield, let's make short king logan stankoven our second baseball, à la known short king second baseman josé altuve

hmmm okay third base. craig smith. this is a pure vibes pick so if anyone has Other Thoughts please air them out

harls should get to be another pitcher!! to keep with the idea of him being paired with miro!!! honestly going strictly off that logic harls should be a catcher so they're a battery, but i think both of them being pitchers is fun. pitcher harls you're real in my heart!!!

actually further down in my notes i'd written ('tyler’s the like ……… vet pitcher who’s just getting his arm back after a couple surgeries') and you know what. yeah, why not.

make mush a reliever so you get some bullpen nonsense from him & tyler and we're GOLDEN

this isn't the whole team so i'm sorry if that's what you wanted!! there's just so many more guys in hockey. and also i cannot realistically picture like ........... daddy or suter or esa sitting in a dugout chompin away at seeds yk?? they lack the Vibes (imo)

My favourite part of the whole saga was , when in the amazing animatic made by @mircsy Telemachus tries (try is the key word here ) to lean his against Athena's shoulder, after they just had a heart to heart , and just straight up falls , coz she is in her spiritual form , and then she just stares at him :)

Rengoku-san was so, so close to cutting off Akaza's head, yet Akaza still felt more terror about dawn.

Since I’ve been lurking real deep in the Outsiders fandom lately I figured I’d share what I honestly consider my magnum opus of the last four months since I listened to the musical: a stupidly-giant mostly-accurate spreadsheet detailing what I’ve pieced together to be how old pretty much all the characters are during the plot of the book (and That was Then, This is Now because I got so hyped over Pony being in that book I had to include it), as well as what grades they would’ve been in during what (school) year (so like from September—June of a given year).

Occasionally I’ll see people bring up the age old argument of who’s the oldest/youngest of the gang, and what grade is Ponyboy supposed to be in during the plot of the book, and sometimes I see you guys talking like Darry would’ve been in school with Soda, and like you’re not entirely wrong because it’s all up to interpretation, and he could’ve been at high school with him for a year, but personally I think I could go on for a million years about Sodapop Curtis and school alone, and I’m not going to get into fights over that, but with all the little details about the book that are given to us, that’s not really possible and—whatever. And like how Ponyboy is actually the age he should be in freshman year, because everyone in his grade after being pushed up who has a late birthday would’ve just turned/would be turning 14 in freshman year, but I digress. Not the point here.

The point is, I spent eight hours about a month ago piecing this all together over the span of like three days, and I wanted to share it. I guess it’s important to note that I had to make up some birthdays that I couldn’t find mostly-confirmed somewhere online (someone PLEASE tell me how old Angela Shepard is because she’s the only one I couldn’t find an agreed-upon age for), and that I don’t live A) in or anywhere near Oklahoma or B) in the 1950s/60s, so I took a lot of liberties with when they would’ve started school and whatnot and some of that is based on personal headcanon, like the Curtises having Pony start school a year late because Soda struggled so much in kindergarten and beyond and Pony also had a late birthday and they got worried so they kept him home an extra year.

Basically please just be nice to me about this and please I’m begging you give a poor girl with a brand new teaching certification a reason to talk about how her favorite characters got through school and whatnot I could talk about this for hours clearly thanks and goodbye.

**Also please note this timeline is based on the musical taking place in 1967, but I believe the book takes place in 1965 and I was going by that version of events anyway, so if you’re using this as a reference (which is what it’s meant to be for those who need/want one), you can just subtract two years from everything I guess. It’s all up to interpretation and I’m not saying that everyone needs to agree with this and I don’t WANT everyone to agree with this, I just figured I’d share it for fun, so go nuts.**

FEBHYURARY 2024 :: Day 7 - Voice

But the star has gone, the glamour's worn thin That's a pretty bad state for a state to be in Instead of government, we had a stage Instead of ideas, a prima donna's rage Instead of help, we were given a crowd She didn't say much but she said it loud

we twist in our self made cages... this cage was once just fine... fresh out the slammer... living in a gold age sneaking to my bird cage... you wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where the raised me... I chose this cyclone with you... all you'll ever be is my eternal consolation prize...

The way I see Pokotho and Paul's relationship really can be summed up that way:

Pokotho : "I could have chosen anyone else, yet I chose you" (frustrated) (affectionate) (condescending) (angry) (questioning his life choices)

Paul : *Blowing up yet another meteor*
