#worm asks

[canarydarity]

time for more worm baseball au brainrot!! just needed to come over here and shower you with more compliments on chapter 2 <33

Just a quick question, who all is on the Yankees, and are there familiar faces on Grian’s team in Chicago or is it just him and them Scar?

Hiii cloudy 🤠🤠!! Woohooo im glad its being enjoyed !!!

Okay so. I'm going to say way too much in response to this now <3

So this is...currently the Yankees line-up:

Jimmy, number 7, Right fielder

Joel, number 25, Catcher

Skizz, uhh didn't assign him a number, First base

Zedaph, 12, Second base

Bigb, 2, Third base

Scott, 5, Shortstop

Pixlriffs, 14, Left fielder

Fwhip, uhh didn't assign him a number, Pitcher

and in typing this out, I realize I just never assigned anyone center field. so thats absolutely hysterical, NO idea whos manning that position. Baseball teams usually have around 26 players, but only 9 play the field at a time so thats really all I was worried about!

and then, of course, we have Tango working as an analyst for the team, Impulse as the coach, and Bdubs and Etho as announcers!

The first thing I wrote for this fic is in the last chapter, back when this au was a single scene rather than a whole chaptered guy, and its something that needed quite a lot of people. And since it was just a SCENE at the time I sort of just. plucked random life series and empires cast members from my brain that I could SEE playing baseball. which is so funny to me. Cause now its this and the cast is genuinely sort of random, but also makes sense. To Me.

As for the CUBS!

So, that also did not start as a story, that just started as background for Jimmy's plot. Grian was Jimmy's brother and he's a pitcher for a rival team, and I just picked the Cubs completely randomly. I was originally going to have Scar be in This Fic, but then because I couldn't leave things well enough alone...I said....well what if desert duo offshoot...what if there's one story for each brother. And by THAT time...I had already filled out a LOT of the Yankees cast and was like "well, oops."

There are definitely other recognizable names on the desert duo side though! but I will say, that one is as of right now much much much less fleshed out. The Cubs lineup will likely include many other hermits, such as Iskall, Rendog, Keralis, Doc, joehills (I think he'd be a fascinatingly confusing announcer), Beef—etc! Like I said, it's currently not really planned :) but thats the idea for if it ever becomes A Thing.

What is planned is that Grian (number 16) is the pitcher , Scar is the catcher, and then because it was too absolutely ironic to NOT make happen. I did make cubfan135 the coach of the chicago cubs. A decision I both vehemently hate and absolutely adore. When talking about grians plot and going "cub has to be there" my brain went now hold on a second...cubfan....his name can't possibly refer to the baseba—oh look at that. it does. and ta-da I couldn't NOT do the funniest thing ever in this universe.

Mumbo will also absolutely be there because he can't not be. but my brain refuses to picture mumbo jumbo playing baseball so he just. he. i have no idea what he will be doing But He'll Be There. Trust Me.

Anyway Ive rambled quite enough :)) I hope that answers your question !!!

📓 😏

hello thank you for sending this because it means I actually get to share the plot of the baseball au rather than try and fail at keeping my cool and then yell to every single person I know and in random posts mwuahahaha my plan all along !!!!!

Are you ready to be made to care more about baseball than you ever thought you would in your entire life? No? excellent, click below <3

It's May, the year is 1961.

Jimmy is in the start of his second season as a right fielder for the New York Yankees and his fourth in major league baseball overall. Not a particularly impressive player with a rather normal batting average, he's managed to skate by without too much notice. No one's going to be wearing a jersey with his name on it when they come to fill out the stands, but that's alright, Jimmy is doing the only thing he has ever wanted to do—play ball.

Maybe his second season starts off pretty good—nothing to write home about, but for a while he's really hit his stride. And maybe some reporter isn't happy about the page time that they've been getting recently and decides to publish something reactionary just to get their foot jammed stubbornly in the door. They look at Jimmy on the bottom of the Yankees roster, they look at his not-insignificant amount of home-runs so far this season, and they write some crude article like "nobody Yank takes a crack at the Babe's record—as if!"

Everyone knows that Babe Ruth is just about the most famous and well-respected name in baseball, so it doesn't matter whether or not Jimmy intends on chasing any records (he doesn't), the press takes it and runs, and now the public thinks he does.

Jimmy ends up in a race against the clock: he has to hit at least 61 home runs by the end of the season in September; worse than that almost is the race against the ghost of baseballs most famous player and the fans he doesn't have; worse than that definitely is the race against his crippling lack of self confidence and his will to hold up under the pressure.

Of course, on top of all of that there's also homesickness, losing himself and the kid who fell in love with the game somewhere along the way, and an unexpected romance with the teams resident analyst.

---

I must disclose that Jimmy's plot IS mostly based on a real ballplayer named Roger Maris. I got a job recently in a museum that currently has a history of baseball exhibit and I read one plaque about this guys story went Jimmy and then learned every single thing that I could about him in the matter of one weekend, as any sane person would do. If anyone would like to know more about him and what happened in the summer of '61 please....please ask this is currently the only topic that I am capable of talking about and I love sharing knowledge. Or I can recommend movies to watch and articles to read <3

When the fic itself is posted there will be an entire work up on Roger Maris and his story and the situation vs what I did instead in the au in the notes, though!
