Talk:Hellmouth Sunbeams/Archive
Popping this here so I can transfer it between devices later: There is a pit in East Utah Called Hellmouth, and the Sun has drawn the doomed into many a poor team Dear Sol, we know, we're one
Hendricks was a lecturer 'gainst capitalism, he preached But his trust-fund blood gave way to gold When he joined the old Sunbeams
And the only thing a village needs Is a goose to strike the ball But Bishop's only satisfied When chaos befouls us all
Oh Castillo, tell your lovers Not to do what we have done It's not safe, and none of us are welcome In Hellmouth of the Rising Sun
Hahn's got one foot in the garden And another on the quay And she'll be back soon in Miami, we hope And of the Tug, she'll be free
There is a mouth in East Utah Called Hellmouth, and the Sun has drawn the doomed into many a poor team Dear Sol, we know, we're one Dear Sol, we know, we're the one
Rivalry - needs to be updated.
So! It's been mentioned a lot as of recent that the hellmouth sunbeams' rivalry section is wrong.
The general consensus on discord is that we are:
Rivals with everyone, in a way that shonen rivals are rivals with each other. If I can work out how to, I'm going to attach some photoshops of pictures that we have come up with to describe how we are rivals. Because beams are very bad at rivalling people.
We also have one, maybe two "anti-rivals", aka people that we *know* we like so they are not rivals! Clearly! And that is the Tigers and the Magic. Again, if I can work out how to attach image links to the talk page I'll find more pictures of this. But this should be modified.
Also, it'd be good to mention that we hate all gods, not just 'God himself'.
Rivalry Update Proposal
Change: Friends to be Tigers and Magic, Rivals to be Firefighters and Garages
Change Rivalries section to be an entire section.
The Sunbeams have a complicated relationship with rivalries. Rivalry involves wistfully watching their rivals matches, hoping to face them in battle once again. Rivalry involves fiercely defending a rival from others, because only You are allowed to defeat them. Rivalry involves being unable to think of anyone other than the rival, and on dark nights wondering if they're staring into the same sun, cursing your name.
Rivalry also arises from competing for something, and in the case of Blaseball the Sunbeams are competing with the rest of the league. Therefore, everyone is a rival. This results in teams falling into one of four categories: Ambient Rivals, Rival, Rivalliances, Anti-Rival.
Rivals:
Seattle Garages
In addition to the heated rivalry between the two teams, famously commemorated in both song and zine format by the Seattle Garages after definitive wins in Seasons 2 and 3, many fans that follow HELIOATRY clash with Garages fans. The Garages have a stated intention to kill the sun, which is considered blasphemy. This rivalry is most clearly seen in the events surrounding The Solympic Flame.
- How's this? Not sure if it should simply say "Garages fans" or " members of the Band" and link to Seattle Garages/Fan culture? Amadis8487 (talk) 23:16, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
Chicago Firefighters
After the Chicago Firefighters entered the Season 9 playoffs as the Wild Card seeded against the Sunbeams, the Firefighters threatened to put out the sun. Though unsuccessful in their efforts, a beautiful rivalry was forged from this fateful series, with the two teams skirmishing intensely over who would get the Season 10 Nut Button, the Firefighters threatening again to destroy the sun, and the Sunbeams insisting the sun would consume Chicago.
Is your team a rival of the Sunbeams?
Ask yourself the following yes or no questions;
1. Do you often get handmade cards and propaganda from Beams fans?
2. Does your team exist?
3. Do you see Beam fans staring at you and obsessing over your games?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, congratulations, your team is a Sunbeam rival! Please send a framed team photograph to the Solarium at your earliest convenience so rivalry may commence!
- added Rival quiz. Please touch up and edit questions as you see fit! Enby87 (talk) 16:32, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
Rivalliances:
- Wild low <description of wild low sticking together>
Anti Rivals:
Tigers
The Sunbeams' original Anti-Rivals the Hades Tigers share a close kinship with the Beams, due to the locational connection between Hades and Hellmouth, as well as the Tigers' overwhelming support for their new neighbors from day one after the Hellmouth's opening. Whenever the two teams play against each other, fans cheer on the opposing team from their reserved sections and can often be heard shouting "TIGERBEAMS!". Both teams believe that when one team wins, both win, and are regularly seen adding the two's scores together into one number to proclaim how well TIGERBEAMS have been doing.
Magic
The Yellowstone Magic and Sunbeams partnership has been described as "a match made in spell", bonding over the comparably unusual emanations from beneath their home ballparks and a mutual respect for the surrounding unnatural landscape and wildlife. The two teams have very similar ominous but friendly vibes, and are regularly seen engaging in all sorts of ritualistic nonsense together. Fans are known to cheer HELLOWSTONE as a greeting, which is answered with calls of YELLMOUTH, before the shouts and cheers dissolve into eldritch keening as the fans embrace and excitedly summon horrific beings to have tea parties with.
- added some more description/reasoning/similarities and changed tone a bit here and there Amadis8487 (talk) 00:50, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
Ambient Rivals:
- The rest of the league.
View on the Gods <we all hate the nut, we like the sun>
- 17/10: Hi! I added all this stuff to the wiki, the only thing that still needs to be added is info on our opinion on the gods, as I removed that entirely. But otherwise - should be all updated. Also, if someone can edit templates, adding in an 'anti rivals' section to the hellmouth sunbeams team definitiony bit would be great. Castaras (talk) 11:29, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
Rivalry Update: The Millennials
Changes: Adds the Millennials to our rivalry page and defines our friendship with them.
The New York Millennials
The friendship between the New York Millennials and the Sunbeams formed during the Season 10 Postseason. The Millennials and the Sunbeams entered playoffs as the Wild Cards for their respective sub-leagues. Fans of both teams came together to cheer each other on and were ecstatic when both teams swept their opponents. Since then the teams have become very close, bonding over their love of Blaseball, not owning their homes/teeth, and the Marijuana Brothers, Randall Marijuana and Dominic Marijuana. They thrive in the chaos they create when together, yelling out long acronyms and mashups of their classic chants such as "WHOSE BONES? NOT OURS WE RENT!" and "STARE INTO THE HOUSE! THE RENT STARES BACK!". Recently the teams have signed a lease together and are now long-distance roommates.
