Talk:Fitzgerald Wanderlust

Fitz is mentioned in a new update for Oliver Loofah’s page as being friends with Loofah, sharing gossip, and working with them in his tailor shop.

Hi! I've created a new IRM entry proposal for Summers Pony where she is a time traveler. Fitz is mentioned being friends with her as a fellow time traveler.

Fitzgerald Wanderlust is mentioned on Mathews's recent page update (found here: Kathy Mathews#Time with the Garages) as someone Mathews visits; they assist Wanderlust with precise measurements.

The relevant section is:

They also enjoy visiting other parts of the Co-op during their biweekly financial check-ins. Among these are Fitzgerald Wanderlust’s apothecary, where they help measure the precise quantities of alchemical reagents Wanderlust uses.

Fitz has been in and out of the seattle rotation for seasons, and he's overdue for a wiki update! be she shadowed or on the active roster, she's been jamming with the team and the Seattle Shadows Co-op by:

- recording jazz/spoken word albums (on vinyl, of course)

- finding a good home for his alchemically spicy salsa recipe

- becoming a professional tailor as a side gig to the apothecary he runs

- using her talents in alchemy to recreate life-saving medications for free

this update would also set wanderlust's IRM type to vignette to re-enable the snapshots of his rumored travels through time.

We in the lore discord wanted to bring up a concern one of our members noticed on the wiki page. It has Fitzgerald listed as born in 1880 in Birmingham, Alabama and then goes on say that the origin of the last name Wanderlust may be adopted. Due to the time period and the location, this is a heavy allusion to slavery despite not using the word slavery. Blaseball is not the space for conversations about slavery and its after effects. Additionally, he is listed as involved in some real life activism related to italian-american communities, which feels both performative to add a blaseball player into a real-life event and strange that Fitz would not be helping his own community. I propose that we remove the references to the time period, the birth place and the adoption of the surname as well as the activism with respect to Sacco and Vanzetti.
