ID: A redraw of the cover for Nekonomicon's self-titled album, featuring Brisket Friendo destroying the city of Seattle. Alaynabella Hollywood and Magi Ruiz are seen in the foreground, preparing to fight back. End ID.

wheeeeeeeee here's my album redraw zine piece! if i had a nickel for every time i did one of these with a cat/cat-adjacent player, i would have two nickels. not a lot of nickels, very funny it happened twice.

i absolutely bought this album purely based on the cover art and the band name. no regrets. it's nerdy power/synth metal. go listen to it. thank me later :)

and go check out the rest of the zine!!

Bright Zimmerman, for all that you loved her and didn’t, deserved so much more than she received. Even through your rose-coloured glasses, she wasn’t perfect, but she didn’t need to be. She deserved better. You all did.

the final part of and one day i'll watch them burn with me!! please note the M rating on this one– while it’s not explicit there is sexual content in this (2.6k words, cws for swearing, grief/mourning, and non-explicit sexual content)

Here's how Magi Ruiz can still win

[burningcrab]

the blaseball zine jam is over! i ended up doing quite a lot (and yet still not as much as i hoped to do! same as it ever was.) collected here is every zine i contributed to, and a few bonus little recommendations :)

suns out, guns out (page 55) - a magi ruiz/alaynabella hollywood story for the season 24 zine THE END! it’s about the game where magi used the equal sun to nullify the equal sun. also i wrote it in exactly 26 minutes and 54 seconds, the length of that game, because i wanted enrichment and had a very tight deadline

they turn the light on and it’s burning up the sky (page 48) - another magi/layna piece, because i’m incorrigible. this time it’s my playlist for them, annotated for the playlist zine radio immateria. it has a lot of lyrics that connect to their story and their messed-up relationship, along with some little author’s notes about those connections. i’m really happy with how it turned out.

highway to hell(mouth) (page 6) - a story about alaynabella hollywood and howell franklin’s road trip to the hellmouth when he gets traded for brisket friendo! it’s a silly piece for the travel zine The Open Road - which i also organized and very hastily assembled last night. it’s a sweet zine with lots of great pieces from friends of mine. check it out!

look at me (page 46) - a new IRM for deceased core mechanics player ruffian applesauce, made for the letters from the rumour mill zine. she’s a horrible teenager who wants to kiss fellow horrible teenager york silk and it’s about coming back home and realizing everyone you’ve hurt is still there. and then dying without fixing it. i love her very much.

the smallest gap (page 14) - an interpretation of feedback weather for REALITY FLICKERS, a do-this-in-your-style zine. it was vaguely EEAAO-inspired and is about two unnamed players who meet over and over again in the time it takes to run to second base. it’s funky and weird and i like it a lot!

time and time again (page 30) - a shortish piece for the fanteam zine The Yourplace Ourfolks. it’s about two players for the Nevada Timekeepers, unwilling maintenance people for the temporal anomaly that swallowed their home. it’s also about not wanting to talk about work until you’ve had your coffee. it’s also about geological eras with respect to dinosaurs. i like them :)

the garages section (page 14) of the tales from the short circuits zine! the garages went through several iterations in the circuits — some folk-punk musicians in an orchard with crashed spaceships, apocalypse survivors navigating a wasteland on an endless train, and space pirate radio DJs who broke the universe! read about them and many other teams here.

that’s everything i contributed to, but if you want even more zines to read, i recommend these!

the kansas city dispatches, a hilarious postmortem look at jon halifax’s time in the ILB. imagine if agent 47 from hitman had hair, sucked at his job, and died when a cowboy tried to shoot him and missed. now go read this zine because it’s even better than that!

The Salt, a truly incredible alternate-universe work set in a lost circuit, where the halifax region has become a massive salt flat. it’s got amazing character work, worldbuilding, art, and so much writing that all tells a beautiful story. i can’t recommend it enough.

Salmon and Snake, the product of months of work by my dear friend sonder. it’s a season 25 1 AU where everything (well, not everything) resets to season 1, the rosters shuffle, and the game proceeds just like it did. it’s more than i can possibly explain here, just check it out!

and of course, every other zine (over fifty! holy shit!) in the blaseball zine jam 2022 deserves your love. it’s been buckwild and i can’t believe how much stuff we all made

I'd love to see your take on Magi Ruiz! She got to the team and immediately got to business, she pulled a sound child out of the speakers (Wyatt Mason X/MaX) and then raised Chorby Soul from the dead with the help of Layna. Queen shit. Also she could use some more art with her hearing aid

HI I READ SHES GOT A MAGIC BOOK THAT SLAPS

this was really quick but hiiiiiiii I love her actually ty so much for telling me about her!!!!!!!!!!!

[nebulousandpowerful]

i saw that kiss ask prompt and asked a few friends for some. this ended up being too big for discord so here, have some cute shit, blase tumblr

Magi/Sparks in 37, kissing it better

"Shit," Magi swears, recoiling her hand from the microwave. Sparks sticks their head out from behind the refrigerator door.

"You good?"

Magi shakes her hand. "Yeah, just burnt my hand trying to get my mug out."

Sparks closes the refrigerator and walks over, leaning on the counter. They take a swig from their water bottle and motion to a spot behind her. "You know, we have a hot water kettle, I've heard its super good for heating up liquids."

She gives them a playful shove with her shoulder. "Yeah but this is my tea from earlier, I didnt want it to go to waste."

Sparks takes her hand in theirs and rubs a thumb over the slightly red mark. "Hmm, this looks serious. I'm going to need to administer some of my best medicine to it." They bring her palm to their lips and kiss it softly, lips still cold from the water, before slowly moving up her slender fingers. She feels a small flush creep up her face, Sparks is so quick on their feet all the time that tender moments like this always catch her off guard. She thinks they plan for that, as they look up at her with a satisfied smile. "There, that should do the trick. Did I miss anything?"

Magi twists the hand theyre holding around. "I cut myself in the lab yesterday."

Sparks dutifully moves to the mark, smooching it better. "Good as new. Any other requests?"

Magi wonders if the electricty coursing through Sparks could actually assist with healing. She makes a mental note to track how long these take to disappear compared to her usual injuries, and uses her free hand to roll up the sleeve on her shirt, revealing a large purplish bruise. Sparks sucks in air through their teeth, grimacing at the sight. "Whoof, what happened there?"

"Okay dont laugh, but I walked into a doorframe yesterday."

Sparks lets out a snort. unable to resist. "How'd you manage that?"

"I was carrying a stack of books and miscalculated where the frame was. Managed to not drop any of them at least!"

"That is impressive, given the size of this thing." Sparks presses their lips to it lightly, barely making contact, just enough to leave the skin tingly with microscopic zaps. It sends a wave of goosebumps up her shoulders.

Sparks lifts their face to hers, the charge coming off of them making her hair stand on end. "Anything else, madam?"

"Yknow, I think I burnt my tongue on my tea earlier."

Sparks smirks and leans in closer. "Hmm, I think I can help with that."

Magi closes the distance, mug of hot tea completely forgotten again.

I haven’t been caught up in Blaseball in a hot minute but a little birdy told me that my girl Magi Ruiz blew up a sun
