Personal Life

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

Tot "King Tot" Clark was allegedly next in line for the throne when the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun died circa 1325 BC. Not wanting to rule, Clark faked his own mummification. This made him a pariah among the royal family to such an extent that Clark was subsequently erased from the records of the era. Clark continues to wear his mummification bandages to this day because he "thought [he] looked hot."

Clark is in a relationship with former teammate Luis Acevedo and visited them often during downtime before the Baltimore Crabs ascension.

Alleged Immortality

Clark's uncanny resemblance to Tutankhamun, history-spanning anecdotes, and occasional lack of focus on the mound due to "daydreaming about [his] many travels" have led to speculation that Clark is immortal. Some consider this to be supported by documents recently discovered by investigative reporters Wolf Mully and Lana Sculder recording the marriage between a museum supplier by the name of Alonsius Clark and the minor Prussian noble in service to Napoleon by the name of Tot N. Kahrman in the winter of 1801.

Personal Life:

While many of the Garages lead boisterous, larger than life lives, Clark has been known to eschew much of this, outside of the odd advertising campaign for the Garages, instead leading what appears to be a reasonably reserved and quiet life out of the spotlight with his partner Luis Acevedo. Since the batters feedback to the crabs and subsequent ascension, however, Clark has become more reclusive, and his appearance at games became notably more disheveled. Talking to both team mates and workers around the Hangar, it was discovered by sports reporters that since season 11, Clark has asked fellow player Arturo Huerta for help applying his bandages, though they are unsure why specifically it was Huerta and not anyone else.

During the siesta, Clark took to hanging out with teammate Oliver Notarobot, the two bonding over the loss of the crabs. Notarobot has notably helped him open up and take down some of his walls, whereas Clark has helped Notarobot branch out his musical genres.

Strike on the Mound

During the bottom of the 10th inning of Season 6, Day 109 (game two of the Internet Series) versus the Baltimore Crabs the Garages were shamed when Kennedy Loser and Oliver Notarobot both batted in runs. Clark, with two outs left in the game and having just thrown a second strike to Sutton Dreamy, decided to stand on the mound and not pitch for four minutes as a sign of protest against the blaseball gods. This has colloquially been known as "Tot's Strike on the Mound" ever since. When asked about it after the match Clark simply said, "Well, you can't lose if you don't pitch right? Sometimes defying the gods is just standing around and doing nothing for a few minutes."


Box of Tot Clark Files

Dust billows as the file box lands on the table. While many archives in the Interdimensional Rumor Mill are unified in some way, this... definitely isn’t one of them. The accompanying Rumor Registry explains all of the contents... wherever it is... but for now you grab the folder labelled IF-67.192 and start reading...

Tot Clark is an immortal who has been living for an unknown amount of time. When asked how long, ze simply said “a long time.” However, ze is most known for hir sculptures rather than hir lengthy history, as ze picked up the art around the start of the 1900s and has since been seen in smaller art circles across the world.

Ze is never seen in public without bandages on, ranging from just around hir arms to covering hir entire body, including hir lower face. Ze is married to Luis Acevedo of the Baltimore Crabs, and is rumoured to have something to do with their resurrection in the late 1990s. Nothing on the subject has been confirmed by either of them.

History in Sculpture

According to an interview with Clark, ze picked up sculpture in 1898, after an incident involving Thomas Dracaena and Luis Acevedo that none of the three have gone into detail about. Most of hir older pieces are either lost to time or kept in hir home; when asked if ze had any plans to show them publicly, ze simply stated “no, thanks.”

Some of hir most recent pieces are kept in local Seattle museums, including a painted sculpture of an extinct flower that ze cited as a collaboration with hir husband. Due to complications involving hir sculptures of animals, people, or anything that could be construed as possibly “sentient,” the only pieces on public display are those of plants or inanimate, ordinary objects.

These previously mentioned complications are the tendency for Clark’s sculptures of those subjects to “come alive” once they are finished. Pieces that do this are now roaming free, housed in the Big Garage, or, in the case of a collection of around ten two-inch tall kitten statues, found in Clark’s pockets and in hir hair. Reported living statues that have been seen wild in Seattle and Baltimore include (but are not limited to):

  • Several crabs, of varying colors and species
  • A slightly larger than average wolf with flowers carved into its fur
  • Three birds, living together on the roof of the Big Garage, or seen on Betsy Trombone’s shoulder

Clark has been known to trade carefully made doll furniture with Montgomery Bullock in exchange for crochet dolls of hir teammates. A recorded statement from Jaylen Hotdogfingers states that she’s “pretty sure ze does it to [mess] with [them]” and that “it’s one of the most things ze’s done of all time, for sure.”

When asked if ze still had time to do sculpture while playing Blaseball, ze held up hands with traces of dry clay on them, and also said that “the Garages rotation is long enough to have enough time to do whatever [ze] wants.”
