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
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[1]. This may explain how certain members of the Hellmouth Sunbeams have achieved credit scores previously considered impossible[2].
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 Undiead 500 road trip from Hell to the Community College. 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[3]. 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-14.2425 out of its Resident Registry...
Odysseus Nobody is the person who sold you your dog. Nobody knows how or why Nobody does this. Nobody has been heard complaining to you about the pressures of their job, though you’re pretty sure it isn’t true that Nobody has a job in Hellmouth, after all, there is that one Guy.
Somebody has said that Nobody does not have a shadow and that Everybody should have one, though didn’t have any proof of this statement. Hellmouth being Hellmouth, Nobody doesn’t enjoy spending time out in the sun. Nobody has been described as too tall, especially when wearing lace up thigh high boots.
Nobody lives on a street where Nobody lives, fairly close to the Hellmouth itself. Nobody has a white picket fence and two and a half children, though it’s unclear which half (or who has the other half). Nobody has a dog. Nobody can tell you what kind of dog it is. Nobody has lived in Hellmouth for a very long time. Nobody considers it an excellent place to raise children. Nobody has asked you if you would like to spend some time with the children.
Nobody enjoys spending time with the other inhabitants of the town. Nobody has started the beginnings of an amateur flootball league with local parents - Nobody is captain of one team and Somebody is captain of the other. Nobody hopes that Everybody will feel invited. Nobody hopes that you will come along to play one day. Nobody has a uniform put aside for you.
