COMMUNITY REPORTS
The remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.

Hellmouth is a small town in the desert of Utah, given its name by its position on the edge of the Hellmouth. The town is home to the Hellmouth Sunbeams.

Description

Hellmouth is considered to be one of the least habitable cities to host a blaseball team due to its arid climate, connection to Hell, and numerous teeth — by and large, Hellmouth is inhospitable to most living beings. It is not clean or safe, and its attempts to lure people towards it are actively opposed by the Hellmouth Anti-Tourism Board who make sure Hellmouth is not welcoming to anyone (except for maybe JEFF!). This is no easy task, since the Hellmouth region of eastern Utah is widely known for its National Plarks and outdoor recreation areas.

When Hellmouth formed, all written references to Moab, Utah were replaced with references to Hellmouth instead, with the resulting documents and signage appearing to be designed and spaced properly for the altered text. Certain references to Moab have been destroyed via burning instead, although it is still unclear why some were destroyed and some were replaced.

Culture

Hell's Best SumBeans

Presence next to the Hellmouth has encouraged the development of a unique culture in the town, particularly in response to shared experiences such as Adaptation and the Tug. The community is mostly self-sufficient, with strong interpersonal ties necessary to allow survival in the hostile environment. Money is unheard of in the local environment, relying instead on a bartering system. This may explain how certain members of the Hellmouth Sunbeams have achieved credit scores previously considered impossible.

Lack of economy has not slowed down local industry, which has taken advantage of the new opportunities, and spawned various local delicacies, the most famous of which are Hell's Best SumBeans and SUNN light.

A number of traditions have arisen within the tight-knit community. Community events such as the creation of a new Outback Steakhouse are always well attended. Non-Hellmouth residents are asked to please not travel to Hellmouth for the purpose of attending community events, such as the upcoming Hellmouth market day, hosted in The Solarium's parking lot. Many traditions take advantage of the unique environment, such as the practice of climbing teeth to watch the sunrise, cutting smaller teeth down to keep in a home and decorate, and using mini-mouths (small temporary Hellmouths) as a form of garbage disposal.

There is a strong legal tradition, with certain high profile legal cases being hosted in the Bone and Tooth courts, to take advantage of the loose legal structure. Many students of Hellmouth Community College choose to major in law, although a variety of other subjects are available, such as Illegal Physics. If a particularly desired course is not available, students are advised to sign up as a lecturer and teach it themselves. This system explains the existence of a Russian Literature course, taught by Howell Franklin.

Residents

Local historian Milo N. J. Cooper has been cataloguing Hellmouth residents and their experiences in the town for many years, in order to preserve a record of this unique community. Their profiles of residents are presented in a monthly newsletter. This time, the Interdimensional Rumor Mill reveals a Resident from IF-81.554 out of its Resident Registry...

Matthias Bailey (they/them) is a two-spirit Native American from the Ute tribe. They lived their whole life in Hellmouth and received their adaptation very early in life. Their adaptation made their feet and hands made of glass, so they naturally learned to be very to be very nimble through how they walk and act with their hands. Around the time in their young adulthood, they opened an art studio where they paint sceneries and landscapes. They paint large-scale works of art that take months to finish. Sometimes, this includes a few hiking trips if it's of a natural site, like in the Arches National Plark. Their goal is to eventually opening a gallery to showcase all the works they have created and to share them with people.

They also do this with digital photography, which they've taken an interest in since they snap a lot of pictures for references. They noticed that a lot of the pictures they take could be works of art themselves. So, they've taken several photography classes. Their photography coincides a lot with their art. Every time Bailey goes on a walk, they carry a camera with them as well, just in case they happen to see something pretty, they'll nab a photo so they can save it for a later project, whether for reference or a project itself. Unfortunately they start too many projects compared to how much they finish but hey, that's an artist's life!

In their off time, Bailey runs a podcast where they talk about their projects, both photography and art wise, and they do have a decent dedicated listening fanbase. It's either made up of people who share their interest or people who are just genuinely interested in the things they do. They never really expected it to take off but they're glad people enjoy it. They hope that one day they're able to get a player on but that's still kind of a pipe dream.
