Rating: General
Word Count: 12,935
Summary: Her face is wet when the others find her.
“What happened?” Camila asks, eyes darting from the puddle of blood that was once Michael, to the puddle of blood that was once Adriel, to the puddle of blood that was Ava before Beatrice pushed her through the Arc.
“She did it,” Beatrice says, soft and bitter, “Adriel is dead.”
Camila’s eyes dart from the blood to the tears on Beatrice’s face. “And Ava?”
Beatrice closes her eyes. Swallows the grief. Chokes on the sob. Tries to remember how to breathe. Tries to remember how to live.
“Gone. She’s gone.”
Or: Beatrice, in the aftermath.

I just revived my old iPod touch that I haven’t used since ~2013 after believing it to be dead dead for years and oh my god it’s like opening up an old time capsule. There are photos of me and my friends that I haven’t seen in years, taken in an old high school building that doesn’t exist anymore. I have games that are no longer downloadable on the app store. It’s running iOS 5 with the original skeuomorphism app icons. I still have the youtube app. My contacts app is full of maiden names and deadnames. The music app has songs I haven’t heard in almost a decade but still remember all the lyrics to. A daily alarm set for 5:30 AM (god I can’t believe I had to wake up that early in high school) and another set to 11:11 PM to remind me to make a wish. Reminders to finish homework assignments, or to write my application essay for the university I ended up attending, and one marking the release date for the final episode of Cabin Pressure. The last thing I googled was “how to draw people hugging”.
Possibly the strangest thing is that the tumblr app still opens, but it’s stuck in a permanent snapshot of 2013 where it won’t show me any new posts no matter how many times I refresh. My dash is full of old BBC Sherlock posts from long-lost mutuals who have either since deactivated or got unfollowed or changed urls so many times that I don’t even recognize them. Lady Gaga and Game of Thrones are the top trends. My profile shows my previous url and icon, with only 43 followers. I feel like a time traveler

If i get into baseball, which team would you recommend?
This is gonna sound bad but I don’t know. I don’t know what you’re looking for in a team either vibes wise or personnel wise. Team choice is something that can be completely arbitrary and at the same time, intensely personal depending on what you want out of your sports experience.
Genuinely, my recommendation if you don’t know where to start is look up whatever team is closest to where you live now or where you grew up. If that’s a minor league team, 100% you should be a fan of them, they’re fun and cheap to attend. Maybe also check out the major league affiliate so you know where all your good players are disappearing to, but there’s nothing wrong or bad about minor league baseball. If it’s a major league team, congrats, easy answer.
It’s “root root root for the home team” so figure out where home is and what makes you feel good. Location is an easy factor because one of the nice things about baseball is going to games. As someone who spent a lot of time in PNC Park last year for relatively cheap, baseball stadiums are a nice third location between work and home, especially in the summer when it’s nice to have a reason to be outside.
If you’re more drawn in by players or narrative, I suggest poking around news sites or highlights and seeing what pulls you in. Baseball twitter is pretty active but idk if baseball tumblr exists as a community outside of thirsting over Ohtani. I’m sure every team has at least someone blogging about them but that doesn’t mean there’s community the way pensblr is a community. Afaik there’s three of us here on pirates tumblr which is honestly fine since I can scratch the itch to talk about my boys offline.
Oh and you should check out Banana Ball on YouTube or TikTok. If MLB isn’t scratching your itch then Banana Ball is if the Harlem Globetrotters played baseball. Every game is 2 hours long max, they’ve got a bunch of fun rules to make baseball better, and they stream every game on YouTube. If you’re a fan of baseball you will enjoy banana ball. If baseball isn’t scratching the itch, give banana ball a try — they’re there to entertain on top of playing a game for children.
