The Unlimited Taco Stand

LOLO the Spooky Owl pinned a message to this channel. 04-Jun-21 01:10 PM

if Blaseball threw a pride parade, what would the Taco float look like?

13:59

my first instinct was "it's the Chariot, duh" but now I think the taco truck would be parked somewhere along the parade route slanging food. people gotta eat, you know?

I think they would park the chariot, and I think they would walk the parade, I don't actually know if they would have a float though

vito gets a couple of cars from his lot (edited)

14:02

makes them into a float

Basil though has a whole float of his own of a giant rhinestone heeled blaseball cleat and he's full dragged up just hanging out in it spreading the good word

1

if they were offered a float basilio would make his his business to make sure the team has the best float in the parade

2

my instinct is to consider logistics first but the only parade ive been in is the canada day one bc thats all we got where im at

Ohhhh no the st.pete pride (my local one) is one of the biggest pride parades in the south and they go all out it's incredible

he'd plan out and design his own unique and awe inspiring costume for the float, something that turns heads and gets photographed to hell and back, and then at least 3 of the other players would show up wearing jorts

3

Also in ybor every new years instead of a ball drop they drop a drag queen in a shoe it's??? So good?? Also I'm just now realizing that's where I got the shoe idea

14:08

So it's a giant float with basil and the top and the others are walking with it?

someone has to walk pepito and i imagine that's a TASK (edited)

would mcd walk pepito or does someone else have to take them

McDowell has pepito on a leash and it's a task for both of them

5

pepito gets a flag on a stick to carry and they are very happy about it

i think pep is of a size that she gets to ride on the float so she doesnt get trampled

oh yes pep good girl (edited)

gets to sit at the railing and watch all the people wave to her!! everyones so excited to see her!!!!!

yes!!! everyone loves pepito and shes so excited to see them back

Hello everyone when I get home today I will be writing lengua fan fic with you all

YES

15:13

YESSSSS

oh baby

Felix Garbage in charge of the parade floats

16:05

with Technology™️ anything can hover, really

SO McD and Sexton soap box

I love this soap box

Personally I think that pre-alt they were only best friends. then alternation and alternation angst (you cannot rip that away from me)

i would've said only post-return even

18:55

but i am always a sucker for the Super Slow Burn lmao

Then, long time working through things, realising they're still fundamentally the same people

18:56

then THE SNACKRIFICE. Angst 2.0

18:56

And then post-snackrifice, they get incredibly clingy and finally start dating

18:56

that's my take

I don't usually think they hooked up until sexton came back from the magic tbh. I have in my head that they're.......complicated and there's a weird vein of resentment that they both had to work through

they had to miss each other

6

ah yeah see my angle was that sexton went to the magic unexpectedly and mcd was like oh fmee6ing

i missed my chance

whether it was the magic season, or the sexton rehab season

Either or, yeah

so once he comes back the floodgates open

the feeeeeeelings

ooh this is also good. but yes either way, it wasn't until they were like, super super separated for a while

but i think sexton rehab season had more tension cause... mcd would have been the one to make the call to send sexton down

yeah

maybe Bevan had a talk with McD

18:57

like... "DUDE"

The thing about the rehab season is mcD made the call to send sexton to the shadows, but he is also the one that /didn't/ send him away for the two seasons he pitched solo and the one with peanut bong and I cannot help but feel there's a part of sexton that would resent him for that (edited)

18:59

He could have made that call any time and he didnt

I dunno that there were a lot of options at that point though? (mechanically at least) it wasn't until there was the chance to get more pitchers that they could give Sexton a break

Oh yeah that is spicy birb

Oh no for sure!! There was no other options and they're both aware of it

I think it depends on how you view blaseball Georgia

19:01

I know some people like to say that we the fans are actually in the game and the players know about us

19:01

Which is cool. I personally like to think this is all at the fault of Al pastor who is a bad person

i think there's something to be said at least for the idea that mcd didn't have a ton of options but sexton might still have been bothered that he put on a game face about it

When does Al pastor get a kiss ballclark

Mmm. Bad options but still, Sexton’s the one dealing with the consequences

like riffing off birb's comic the idea that there's this constant huge level of unspoken communication between the two of them but they have trouble turning that into the spoken communication when they each need it is :x

why have a conversation when you can just go fishing and stare at a lake for 9 hours?

Dang I imagine Michelle showing up to this hot mess of a team and being like Slaps tacos You can fit so many lack of communication issues in this baby

5

They don’t know how to talk to each other 100%

But sexton had to settle down and take an off season and then when he comes back in 14 he gets an ego and is just an ass

hole till he goes to Yellowstone and realizes he's losing everything he cared about and he comes back like......needing something and McD has taken the initiative to stop being an emotionally constipated jerk and just deals with it head on and now they kiss

oh

bringing the ego into it

Season 14 sexton is a jerk

not us setting up mcd/sexton hurt/comfort fics tacolook

Season 14 sexton drank monsters and wore a backwards cap

clucked 9000

Season 14 sexton drank monsters and wore a backwards cap

god no

He's got yummy gassing him up at every turn and idolizing him, he's back in the game and playing catcher, he's batting now and doing really well, and McD wouldnt talk to him about it and it just made him a jerk!!

3

I speak only the truth

But he's better now

clucked 9000

I speak only the truth

truth hurts

yeah and it legit took going away and getting chomped to make him confront his real feelings

God lmao

season 14 sexton definitely punched a hole in some drywall

we have like an entire sports anime here now

robin (she/they/fey/tay)

season 14 sexton definitely punched a hole in some drywall

Emotionally yes, physically I don't think he could

physically he would break his hand

Sexton: yeah so I got bit by a few sharks and that really got my ego in check so really wasn't it a good thing I left and got eaten Michelle: well I don't have time to unpack all of that (edited)

lmao

robin (she/they/fey/tay)

physically he would break his hand

No, he's just hurt lmao

19:11

Anyway they're like. Good now. They talk. Michelle is very proud of McD's progress in actually talking about his feelings instead of just letting stuff happen and not handling it. (edited)

God I would love to write a series of just. Michelle's many, many, many therapy sessions with this team

Do iiit

Dialogue only

They all need so much therapy lmao

Because it's on like a tape recorder you know

Michelle is my emerging fave

Omg or

19:11

Actually do it as like

19:11

Podfics

audio drama time??

clucked 9000

God I would love to write a series of just. Michelle's many, many, many therapy sessions with this team

Oh no what happened when Mickie got chomped

y'all know that podcast about superhero therapy? thats what im imagining (edited)

How could she deal with it

quincognito 💚

Oh no what happened when Mickie got chomped

Michelle breaks character and speaks directly to the tape recorder and gives herself therapy which is a bad idea

Ahaha

Oh man so like I love complicated characters right and Michelle is like a good person

19:13

But I imagine she does this one selfish thing right

19:13

Which is her just trying so hard to get otten sent back to the shadows

Oh man

So they do split briefly because of it

19:15

And like I also really like when things don't tie up neatly

19:16

So they do get back together but their relationship is like. Different. Just a little hesitant. That choice always hangs over them

19:16

There is no happy fix to it lol

Hello everyone I also shipped coin and lengua together just to further lenguas own personal development

I do like Michelle doing therapy for McD though. Like. He did not sign up to be a team leader. He's not really cut out to be a team leader. But he has to, and he has to make these important decisions, and Michelle's gentle persuasion of forcing him to actually talk about how he feels and what he's going through emotionally actually does help him with his leadership skills. Tacos win season 17 because McD was starting to realize how to actually talk to people (didn't stop sexton from leaving after the win, but it's probably one of a few reasons he came back so fast)
