[ characters from left to right ]
Pocky : Clerk's caretaker his brother made so he didn't need to take care of him when he was little
Twitten : Clerk's childhood friend, they dated when they were both kids, they are still good friends
Clerk : it's Clerk [the asshole one in particular, though they look exactly the same sans the earings]
Anastasia : Clerk's bitter ex, he left her for dead and she, rightfully so, took that very personally; she is a famed and respected pirate
Evergreen : Clerk's less bitter ex, she's currently dating Anastasia and is very supportive in her schemes; she enjoys the journey over the destination

these guys are actually [to varying degrees] based on my childhood toys n more loosely some stuff carried over from playing with them
Pocky is a tag blanket I used to have.
Twitten is a webkinz Alley Cat.
Clerk is - well - not a toy, but his brother, Maxwell is from Max my webkinz Red Panda (the normal, not endangered).
Anastasia is from Anastasia my webkinz Sapphire Pegasus.
Evergreen is from Katnip Evergreen my webkinz Majestic Tiger, the toys were also girlfriends.

I kinda wish I knew about Tiermaker earlier in my baseball kick (i.e. before the 2023 postseason started lmao), because if I had done this way back in April 2023, this is not what the line-up would have looked like XD
I have no good excuse for these and the teams aren't listed in any particular order, but also, I won't apologise because I don't actually hate any teams - like, I have no beef with any of these teams I think. I'm just impartial to them lol
please enjoy my very silly rankings of MLB teams and my questionable taste as someone who only got into baseball in 2023 lmaooo
and feel free to ignore my hella long-winded 'reasoning' under the cut lol- spoilers: it's mostly based on players and vibes XD
you'll quickly realise that this was written before trades happened, so just to reiterate: I like players more than I like teams XD
S-Tier: Philadelphia Phillies, Washington Nationals
I blame Trea Turner for having one of the most Sports Movie(tm) seasons ever in 2023 (as well as his slick slides and sweet swing) for keeping me checking in with the Phillies and therefore: seeing the Daycare Shenanigans of Marshy and Stott (and Bohm), hearing the wild words of occasional wisdom outta Casty's mouth, and learning about the absolute human that is Garrett Stubbs (a.k.a. Philadelphia's own Dionysus)
the Nats always seem to feel like the underdogs to me lol also, they have the prettiest City Connect jersey and that's my hottest baseball take (aside from these ridiculous rankings of course XD)
speaking of jerseys- I absolutely adore the Phillies powder blues. the powder blue + maroon combo is *chef's kiss* impeccable lol
A-Tier: Seattle Mariners, Toronto Blue Jays, St Louis Cardinals
idk, the Mariners seem to have good vibes lol I do very much like Julio Rodriguez who seems pretty switched on, and ya gotta love the duo that is Ty France and JP Crawford (one word: Starbucks XD) I'm also quite fond of JP- it was pretty awesome to see his leadership within the team, and his reasoning for why aliens exist is flawed, but I do agree with him that there have to be aliens out there somewhere XD
I like the Blue Jay blue, and as a non-American, of course I have a soft spot for the only non-American team in the MLB lol I think the Blue Jays were the first team I saw do an outfield celebration (because yes, Pretty-Eyes Kiermaier duh lol) and that was that lol also, Bo and Vladdy lol
loml Lars Nootbaar. that's all :) ok and Tommy Edman lol (as a Third Culture Asian kid, I gotta give love to the Third Culture Asian players in the MLB yo lol)
B-Tier: San Francisco Giants, Baltimore Orioles, Arizona Diamondbacks, New York Mets, LA Dodgers, Chicago Cubs, San Diego Padres
most of these are just based on the vibes I'm getting, like the Cubs, Orioles, and Diamondbacks, but also
Sean Manaea from the Giants seems like a cool guy, and he and Blake Sabol are the only two Pacific Islander boys I know of in the MLB and that's hella cool. also, Alyssa Nakken is hella cool
Adley Rutschman is a Character(tm) and was also kickass in the Homerun Derby when he switch hit
Corbin Carroll because again, gotta give love to the Third Culture Asian players yo lol also gotta love Lourdes 'Pineapple' Gurriel Jr XD
I think Francisco Lindor's a cool guy, and like him, I too follow athletes not teams (if you couldn't tell by this list XD) I also really like the blue and orange of the Mets' uniform- there's just something about that colour combo that I think looks dope lol
if you'd asked me about the Dodgers earlier this year, I would've put them in as a S-Tier team, but then the shine wore off for me. Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman are still some of my favourite guys in the League tho, and the Kiké Hernandez trade to go back to the Dodgers? I wasn't around for Dodgers-era Kiké, but it sounds like he was a hoot then, and it was so good to see some energy back in the dugout with Kiké there (until the postseason of course, but shh lol)
probably the most neutral team I have in the B-Tier, but I just think the Chicago Cubs are neat lol
I reckon the Padres are this high in my rankings purely because of the tv show 'Pitch' XD but also, I very much enjoyed watching Fernando Tatis Jr's 'villain' era this year and I'm quite fond of Juan Soto (also, shoutout to the Padres' social media team with their spring training questions/riddles of the day- my fave is 'why don't turtles play baseball?', highly recommend lol) oh oh! and their City Connect jerseys are lit lol
C-Tier: Houston Astros, Atlanta Braves, Anaheim/LA Angels, Cincinnati Reds, Minnesota Twins, Chicago White Sox, Texas Rangers
again, very much based on vibes lol
Astros are apparently hated by everyone except Astros fans, but damn they have some dope jerseys lol
you can't say Angels without thinking of Shohei Ohtani, who was arguably, the first baseball player I actually liked (see my early 'baseball with day' posts lol). and then of course, the WBC where Ohtani finally got to face his superstar teammate Mike Trout- which could also be described vice versa lol
ever since Pablo Lopez said he wanted an unlimited amount of cut mangoes, I've liked the guy and therefore the Twins XD (unlimited cut mangoes was such a left-field but top-tier response, how could I not love it?? lol)
Liam Hendriks is a fucking legend. am I biased because he's Australian? maybe. does that make him any less badass? hell no! the man survived cancer! I hope he stays healthy and has a good season ahead of him!
D-Tier: NY Yankees, Pittsburgh Pirates, Miami Marlins, Tampa Bay Rays, Oakland Athletics, Colorado Rockies, Boston Red Sox, Kansas City Royals, Milwaukee Brewers, Detroit Tigers, Cleveland Guardians
