hey @lore pings ! some mills might be coming on over around now for felix garbage and greer gwiffin ! we've got #felix-garbage-starboard set up for anything we jam, needs 4 reacts as of now!

similarly could see him interested in plotting a Taco Bell curve

we think Felix also dabbled in Engineering (with Mullen) and Chemical Science (Peanut Holloway)

I did spit out an idea to give Felix more degrees. Add more acronyms after his name as an homage to the Mills.

Having been from Ithaca, he wouldn't have as much as from NYC! But having played in NYC for so long probably affected that

I like to think there's an alternate Los Angeli where Felix and a non-incined NV just chill and talk about the improbability of blaseball related phenomena

Felix is also really an East Coast boy. Might have some thoughts about LA (this could be me, a NYBOYtm projecting)

I feel felix would be fascinated over envy’s studies Any notes that she may have left behind...i can imagine him taking an interest in the tacos potentially for the opportunity of studying her notes??

hey wait wasn't rat also from NYC? nothin like a couple of buds, rat and garbage, from the east coast headed west,

i mean if he hates ground, he's gonna really hate earthquakes

rat and felix bond over their disgust for LA pizza

Felix would be OVER THE MOON at exploring everything, very excited man about learning

Fynn Doyle: Felix are you sure about this Garbage, hooking up three car batteries, a vat of Ooze ™️ and a pile of paper with Gun Bong Lore written on it to the IRM, holding a switch: I HAVE NO IDEA!

I hc Garbage as black with greying temples and curly hair

We had the idea Peanut was working on Observations and Felix finished the work after he got Redacted

i might be a stupid. anyways i would imagine that an infinitely large space in a finite space would be a playground and a headache for a physics doctor, not to mention that it's LA of all places, since he's from new york

here's a sad point: just about every scientifically minded friend Garbage had/could've on the Mills ended up leavin or something bad happened

Garbage replaced Scrap Murphy, Peanut Holloway got redacted, and Mullen was the last one before Garbage got traded

I think Garbage is a very excitable type that wants to share his hobbies and interests

I think we do have a budding nerd who would totally pick up stuff off of Garbage.... Ivy is kinda the most competent with tech on the team right now

yeah having reviewed the wiki pages, my thought is that someone -- either from Moab or Griflfith -- specifically got NV in touch with Felix during xer studies as some of his work related to xers; they probably didn't technically study at the same university but maybe they had an ongoing correspondence and got coffee everytime he was in town for a game?

i'm kind of getting the vibe here of Felix being a super enthusiastic and friendly dude who has seen a lot of people he cares about move on (in one of several more or less tragic senses) and therefore cares a lot about making good use of the moment?

IV Echos Felix Garbage. IV does a double-leg-lift pitch!

omg and Felix is like "my theoretical work on this was absolutely right but I don't have the arm to execute it as a pitcher -- you'll be able to take it farther than I could" (to ivy)

Sexton can guide Felix in the transition as he has recently done it himself

yeah. Vito took to it like his swap was his lifes calling. Sexton took some time to figure it out. We get to see how Felix adapts, if he would need some reassurance from Sexton about "it was a struggle for me too" and how to build confidence Felix spends time mentoring Ivy as a pitcher

Felix does have the benefit that he was a batter in Coffee Cup, so he's not TOTALLY new to batting, but still - most of his career/education is in pitching

Felix looks at our current ace Yummy like "wow Yummy's so confident :O were they always like that?" and Sexton is like "NOPE"

so yeah: Felix Garbage is bleary-eyed and awake at 2AM, going to get another glass of cold brew from the team fridge so he can keep working on his paper, and he accidentally stumbles into Sexton, Rat, and Batson all crowded onto the couch, eagerly gobbling popcorn and shouting at the screen where The Monster From Los Angeles 666 is playing. they invite him to join

um on the topic of felix and basil. idk if this is anything since hes like. virtually ephemerial in the grand scheme of fan made characters. but popular fanon is that bmason has a husband and my version of him is a himbo theoretical scientist

also consider: Felix Garbage gets around static stock style on a trash can lid with two handles for his shoes

i think rat!rat mason and felix being buddies is actually really cute bc i imagine this kinda knowledge-full (?) man trying to explore LA and has a rat as his tourguide,

that's how he got to LA, natch

I always assumed he just threw himself at the ground, and missed

oh good, felix is one of two tacos who are able to drive then, and the only one to have a license

"you wanna buy a car" is absolutely the first thing vito asked felix upon arrival

FELIX MOVED TO FIND REN AND PEANUT

"Yummy I can't smuggle 47 Quesalupas out myself"

if garbage has a car it's a lousy banged up one

my vibe is that felix will get along real well with the pitchers, but for diff reasons. Ivy as a mentor figure, Yummy as a kind of absurdity-vs-reason comedy bit

All I know is Yummy saw the double leg lift and thought it was "absolutely bongers" -- we're still not quite sure what they meant by that

he walks into the tacos communal space. everyone (minus mcd who picked him up from the airplort) is sitting around waiting for him. he steps in, sets down his bags, and after a pause where no ones quite sure what to say: "... wanna buy a car?"

also we joked about this early on when felix arrived, but Vito was a hitter who constantly ground out. this became Vito X Ground and now Vito X Mound i'd think that'd lead to a fun rivalry between the pitcher who chose to eternally avoid the ground, and the one who learned to love it

Garbage INSTANTLY understands

Scrolling through the board I saw Sexton helping Felix with the pitch->bat transition and I think rat can help too consider they were just working on adapting defense skills to batting

felix and mcdowell go out for food where mcd lays it all out like "yeah sorry it's so crazy everywhere, are you settling in okay, do you need any help moving stuff"

McMason asks Felix if he has some cool science to make his bahaj blast chamber better

Felix is your Wacky Uncle™️
