Topic on Talk:Ortiz Lopez

The ship was started by the Blaseball community because of a series of tweets from the Ortiz twitter account (full disclosure, I run that account) where I thought it'd be funny to have Ortiz have a crush on the pitching machine (because nobody was RPing them at the time and I didn't want to get into the messy complicated world of twitter RP relationships.)

Being that Blaseball is the way it is, this escalated a day or so later when Pitching Machine (who was a huge focal point of the season and a huge deal) made their first blood drain and it was, of course, Ortiz Lopez. People were referencing the "thirst tweets" I made and then started pairing PM & Ortiz together. This section of the wiki was written combining community tweets, memes, propaganda, fanart & fanfic that was made about the in-game events.

At the moment we have no plans in mind for a rework of it as our focus has been on the other matters brought to our attention. I can, however assure you, that there was no "find-and-replace" involved here. I was referencing the actual Blood Drain that occurred in which players exchange blood in order to improve their stats by lowering someone else's stats.
