| − | == The 1998 Fluree Abduction Incident == | + | Pothos’ time as the Jazz Hands’ shutout queen started off well, with her throwing shutout after shutout her first season with the team. Things began to turn when another former PODS player, [[Wyatt Quitter]], {{Shelled}} [[Denzel Scott]] during a game against the [[Houston Spies]] during {{BetaSeason|12}}. Later, in {{BetaSeason|13}}, Pothos would swallow a peanut, but she was able to resist shelling another player at the cost of an allergic reaction. While she didn’t show it to her teammates, Pothos would begin to keep a tally of how many days have passed where she did not shell anyone. |
| + | |||
| + | It’s unknown what Pothos’ opinions are on the echoing of teammate [[Wyatt Mason II]] and former teammate Wyatt Quitter into [[Static]] over the course of {{BetaSeason|14}}. Reporters’ attempts to interview Pothos on the subject always result in Pothos glaring at them until they went away. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Joining the Yellowstone Magic=== | ||
| + | No one is sure exactly how Pothos ended up on the lineup for the Yellowstone Magic, but Coach Merlinmeyer says he is positive she’s a batter, and he doesn't understand why everyone else, including Pothos herself, is so confused about it. Games must continue, however, and thus she picked up a bat for a new team. | ||
| + | |||
| + | After all she’s been through, she’s chosen to take advantage of her new environment to have some time to herself. She has found that the Wyoming wilderness is similar enough to Breckenridge that the differences in her surroundings are exciting and not disorienting, but she still feels homesick for the mountains she’s more used to. Whether she's out on the trail or summiting Yellowstone’s peaks, she finds motivation in trying to prove herself against the forces of nature and the supernatural, the same forces that have dogged her career. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Time in Yellowstone=== | ||
| + | Pothos has made fast friends among the team, especially with Bevan Wise after his recent but brief stint in LA, and when they have downtime during training they often chat about the current state of the Tacos. Francisco Preston has been teaching her how to grill the perfect burger, and rumor has it she's spent quite a bit of time with Washer Barajas as well, saying something about how they both “perform well under pressure.” | ||
| + | |||
| + | Despite earning a reputation as cool and collected throughout the parkpark, especially after her snackrifice, she can't help but get a little too excited when the guitar comes out at a team campfire. Somehow, she has learned all of the Magic's favorite campfire songs in record time, and has stated she is “pumped” to "bring new material back to the band." In return, she teaches the Magic every showtune she knows, which is quite a repertoire. Although all signs indicate she’s enjoying her time in the parkpark, her Magic teammates have no doubt that she misses Breckenridge and the life she had there with the Jazz Hands, and there is a concerted team-wide effort to make her as comfortable as she can be under these slightly different skies. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Return to Breckenridge=== | ||
| + | Pothos’ time in Yellowstone would prove to be brief, with the Jazz Hands trading back for her after only a season away. She would miss the friends she made in Yellowstone and the time they spent together, but she was glad to be back on the mound. Back in Breckenridge Pothos was able to focus on her old life goal to play all sapphic splorts and would start rivalries with [[Lancelot Kane]] and later, [[Russo Slugger]], in the process. Pothos has also added her former teammates from the Magic to her routine video chats with former teammates. | ||
| + | |||
| + | With her return to the pursuit of sapphic splorts and her new rivalries with others, fans have noticed a new Pothos on the mound - one that was trying her best rather than forcing herself to be the best. Pothos also reportedly founded a new roller dlerby team in Breckenridge that competes in the offseason. | ||

COMMUNITY REPORTSThe remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.
History
Background
Pothos got her career in splorts started in blasketball as a star power forward for the Walla Walla Widows. Pothos was noted for her ruthless defense and her method of scoring by going around or through her opponents. In her first autobiography, I Eat Mashed Pez For Breakfast, she and Coach ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ referred to her tactics in play as 3-D: Dismantle Destroy & pass-through-their-boDy. This playing method is a nod back to her roots in roller dlerby, where she played competitively during the blasketball off season on an Los Angeles-native team called The Musketqueers.
Pothos has said before that her life goal is to "play all sapphic splorts."
After seven NBLA championship victories, she announced her retirement and her intention to officially join the splort of kickball at the encouragement of Unlimited Tacos Coach Al Pastor. When asked about which team she was interested in joining, she said, "Well, I wanna stay on the West Coast, so I'm hoping for either the Lovers or the Tacos. But, since I don't really believe in 'love' as a concept anymore, I'd prefer the free food. Tacos all the way." She was later drafted to the Tacos. Only after joining the league was it made clear that she had joined a blaseball team.
The combination of her intense workout routine and her familiarity with NBLA uniforms mean Pothos is intensely familiar and more comfortable with sleeveless uniforms. As a result, all of Pothos's uniforms are sleeveless, albeit not necessarily by design. Witnesses have reported the sleeves on Pothos's uniforms tearing themselves off, leading some to hypothesize that her psychic blood is somehow involved.
League Career
Pothos's original hopes were to be a pitcher, but she insisted on throwing the blaseball as though she were shooting a three-pointer. Al Pastor found her practicing and insisted she take the plate instead. Allegedly, Pastor had pitcher Sexton Wheeler pitch extra-hardshell tacos at Pothos, with the additional caveat that she needed to catch the tacos she hit. Here, she discovered her abilities as a hitter and as a capable third blaseman/shortstop. She officially became a hitter and mostly handled Third Blase.
Pothos finally made it to the mound in the Season β5, Day 82 game against the Houston Spies, when Reverb weather reshuffled the entire Taco roster and moved Pothos to the rotation.
She has an average amount of arms and legs, as long as she wants to. She is a fan of heckling the opposing batters. There is a tattoo on her upper arm with the symbols 🚫♥.
Snackrifice
When the Snackrifice was floated to Pothos, she immediately jumped on board with the plan. She explained in interviews throughout Season β7 that she believed in being in order to protect the teams and players who were unwilling to take on the risk of being trapped in a giant peanut shell for an indefinite period of time. As she phrased it to one interviewer in a mid-Season interview, "Ten people have to be above the line, and that means some folks have to be . I am willing to be one of them, and that's more than you can say for some of the others above that line right now." Pothos was thus after the end of the regular Season.
While , Pothos remained an involved member of the Tacos. She was seen hanging out with the rest of the team in the dugout, and attended the Tacos' parties. When asked about the experience in interviews during Season β11, she said, "I just felt so much team spirit while I was in there, it made me want to do them all right when I got out." Pothos attributes this combination of spirit and desire with her development of minor precognitive powers, presumably made possible by her psychic blood.
Transfer to the Jazz Hands
Details about Pothos's time on THE SHELLED ONE'S PODS are scarce, as the team could not be found outside of the games on Day X and her own memories are limited at best. When asked to comment on her transfer to the Breckenridge Jazz Hands during an interview, however, she recalled, "Towards the end of Season β9, before I was on the PODS, I remember thinking about NaN, and how they'd been traveling a lot over the Season, and it made me realize I'd never really lived much outside of Los Angeli. The last thing I remember was thinking how I kinda wanted to travel, live somewhere different for a bit, and I guess Breckenridge is about as different from LA as you can get." Follow-up questions in multiple interviews about her opinion on The Shelled One's actions in light of her desires to transfer were met with vehement disapproval. She has repeatedly stated that The Shelled One's non-consensual abduction and subjugation of herself and the other formerly players was horrific, even if she isn't particularly upset with where it left her afterwards.
She continues to keep in touch with current and former players for the Tacos, citing her regular video chats with them as one of her favorite routines.
Life in Breckenridge
Pothos was welcomed with open arms to the Jazz Hands, as she brought much-desired pitching talent to the team's rotation. Her record-breaking return Season, where she pitched six consecutive shutouts and a Season total of eight consecutive shutouts as the sole pitcher of each game, led many members of the Jazz Hands Band to begin referring to her as "Queen Pothos." In the spirit of this jest, the team got her a crown-shaped arm sweatband. She wears it on her upper arm while pitching, covering her 🚫♥ tattoo.
In between games, the Jazz Hands introduced Pothos to the world of cross-country skiing and, much to her delight as a former roller dlerby competitor, roller skiing. When she showed interest in joining the Jazz Hands' jam sessions, the team introduced her to the bass, which she took to with ease.
Pothos’ time as the Jazz Hands’ shutout queen started off well, with her throwing shutout after shutout her first season with the team. Things began to turn when another former PODS player, Wyatt Quitter, Denzel Scott during a game against the Houston Spies during Season β12. Later, in Season β13, Pothos would swallow a peanut, but she was able to resist shelling another player at the cost of an allergic reaction. While she didn’t show it to her teammates, Pothos would begin to keep a tally of how many days have passed where she did not shell anyone.
It’s unknown what Pothos’ opinions are on the echoing of teammate Wyatt Mason II and former teammate Wyatt Quitter into Static over the course of Season β14. Reporters’ attempts to interview Pothos on the subject always result in Pothos glaring at them until they went away.
Joining the Yellowstone Magic
No one is sure exactly how Pothos ended up on the lineup for the Yellowstone Magic, but Coach Merlinmeyer says he is positive she’s a batter, and he doesn't understand why everyone else, including Pothos herself, is so confused about it. Games must continue, however, and thus she picked up a bat for a new team.
After all she’s been through, she’s chosen to take advantage of her new environment to have some time to herself. She has found that the Wyoming wilderness is similar enough to Breckenridge that the differences in her surroundings are exciting and not disorienting, but she still feels homesick for the mountains she’s more used to. Whether she's out on the trail or summiting Yellowstone’s peaks, she finds motivation in trying to prove herself against the forces of nature and the supernatural, the same forces that have dogged her career.
Time in Yellowstone
Pothos has made fast friends among the team, especially with Bevan Wise after his recent but brief stint in LA, and when they have downtime during training they often chat about the current state of the Tacos. Francisco Preston has been teaching her how to grill the perfect burger, and rumor has it she's spent quite a bit of time with Washer Barajas as well, saying something about how they both “perform well under pressure.”
Despite earning a reputation as cool and collected throughout the parkpark, especially after her snackrifice, she can't help but get a little too excited when the guitar comes out at a team campfire. Somehow, she has learned all of the Magic's favorite campfire songs in record time, and has stated she is “pumped” to "bring new material back to the band." In return, she teaches the Magic every showtune she knows, which is quite a repertoire. Although all signs indicate she’s enjoying her time in the parkpark, her Magic teammates have no doubt that she misses Breckenridge and the life she had there with the Jazz Hands, and there is a concerted team-wide effort to make her as comfortable as she can be under these slightly different skies.
Return to Breckenridge
Pothos’ time in Yellowstone would prove to be brief, with the Jazz Hands trading back for her after only a season away. She would miss the friends she made in Yellowstone and the time they spent together, but she was glad to be back on the mound. Back in Breckenridge Pothos was able to focus on her old life goal to play all sapphic splorts and would start rivalries with Lancelot Kane and later, Russo Slugger, in the process. Pothos has also added her former teammates from the Magic to her routine video chats with former teammates.
With her return to the pursuit of sapphic splorts and her new rivalries with others, fans have noticed a new Pothos on the mound - one that was trying her best rather than forcing herself to be the best. Pothos also reportedly founded a new roller dlerby team in Breckenridge that competes in the offseason.
The 1998 Fluree Abduction Incident
Wyatt Pothos made national headlines as a young girl. While originally living in Northern Clalifornia, she was among several children abducted by the Fire-Winged Faeries that escape out of the Redwood Forests to claim their sacrifices every decade or so, known as the Flurees. While it was a usual occurrence that the people of Northern Clalifornia would simply accept the sacrifices, due to being unable to track the Flurees down, Pothos's abduction changed things for the small communities near the Redwood Forests. Thanks to Pothos's unique physiology and volume adjustment abilities, her cries echoed across the entirety of Northern Clalifornia and Southern Orlegon.
With Pothos's unstoppable hissing and crackling, the Red Riding Hoods were able to find the newest crop of abductees and squirrel them away safely back to their families. They also began hunting the Flurees out of the Forests and deeper into the Pacific Ocean. The hunt continues on to this day.
About the incident, Pothos has no real recollection. In her usual deadpan she recalled the situation saying,
I don't really remember anything about it. I remember a lot of lights, lotta trees, a persistent static hum, and all care about my second grade crush leaving my body. Then I was picked up and handed back to my parents and I think there was a wild fire? I don't remember, I don't read the news.
News reports see Pothos's mother saying, "We're so happy to have our little girl back. The same reports have Pothos's Father saying, "I think she should play blasketball." The family moved to Los Angeli shortly after the incident.
Trivia
- At the end of the Expansion Era, Pothos was the only Honey Roasted player to have never shelled another player.
- Pothos is the exact same height as Lancelot Kane, but insists that she is taller.
