===The Return===
After a long Grand Siesta, Blaseball returned with a great deal of new systems and mechanics to mark the era of Peace & Prosperity. According to an issue of The Blaseball Beat, Blaseball has been gone for more than a decade. Fans speculate the absence of Blaseball is closer to 18 years, using the length of normal seasons as a measurement. 
During its absence, new Ownership revamped several systems for Fans, seemingly in the interest of Fairness. 
Concessions has replaced the old Shop, offering fans a new inventory called a Snack Pack. The Snack Pack can hold 8 items at once, such as votes, peanuts, and snacks that offer similar functionality to the Pendants previously sold. Fans can also purchase new items that allow them to look into the Shadows, participate in Wills, or draw Tarot Readings for the Earlsiesta. Fans can sell their items back to the Concessions as a reduced cost, thereby freeing up a slot in their Snack Pack. The Food and Beverage Director for Concessions is the Monitor. The Commissioner [@blaseball] (28 Feb 2021). "congratulations to our new food and beverage director" (Tweet) - via Twitter.
Joining the typical Decrees and Blessings are a new system called Wills. Wills are voted on by teams, with two granted to each team each season. Wills allow Fans to enforce their will on Blaseball by specifically targeting players on their favorite teams or opponents to shuffle players all around the league. 
Each Season will also contain two siestas: the Earlsiesta after Day 27, and the Latesiesta after Day 72. The first Earlsiesta brought with it a Tarot Reading of I The Magician, XII The Hanged Man, and XIII Temperance, granting two new modifications, Over Under to Curry Aliciakeyes and Under Over to Kennedy Rodgers. The events of the Latesiesta are still unknown. 
The Feed was introduced to Blaseball in Season 12 as well, a feature which catalogs notable events directly in the game, including speeches from NPCs. 
During The Return, the Tacos were renamed as well, from the Unlimited Tacos to the LA Unlimited Tacos. 
===Construction of the Crabitat===
Following the Season 11 elections, when Fans elected to "Close! ...the Forbidden Book...", the Election Results noted that ground was broken on the Crabitat. The first Earlsiesta brought with it the opportunity for Fans of the Baltimore Crabs to build the first Ballpark, which was funded in approximately 15 minutes. Construction was completed on the Latesiesta following Day 72. All other teams were able to view their Ballparks during the first Latesiesta, and were able to begin contributing to their construction following , Day 27.
===The Crabs Descend===
On days 71 and 72, Fans noticed that sometimes, the Black Hole weather event shown for the next game was being switched out for Flooding, a brand new weather type in Season 12. The weather forecast would return to Black Hole before the games started, however Fans were on alert. 
At the end of the Day 72 games, an emergency alert went off, suggesting that a Breach was imminent. Boss arrived to reassure Fans that We are actively monitoring the situation. As a precautionary measure We have activated Expansion protocols ahead of schedule. The Crabs had returned from Blaseball 2, and they brought with them three new teams: Atlantis Georgias, Core Mechanics, and Ohio Worms. Each new team had several championships to their name already, suggesting that they too were participants in Blaseball 2 due to winning three championships, much like the Crabs did to Ascend in . Following these events and the start of the first Latesiesta, Fans were greeted with a game log, detailing the events of the day. Additionally, Boss declared Blaseball to be in the Expansion Era.
===Flooding===
After the Crabs descended, additional Flooding occurred, which would have a chance of sweeping players off their bases, even sometimes sweeping them . Wishing to assure Fans of the sweeping floods, Boss said We have everything under control. Thanks to Our swift action Things seem to be leveling off. Rejoice! You can expect less Flooding in the Future.
===Notable Election Results===
As a result of the passing of the Based Evolution Decree, which declares that a Team and its Players will Evolve every three championship wins, the Hades Tigers, the Season 12 champions, Evolved and gained the modification . The Evolution of the Tigers also resulted in all of the team's active players reaching Base 1.
During the election, multiple players were targeted with the Trust Will, which entrusted them with a modification. Every player to receive a trust was entrusted with the new modification . The new modification, , also debuted during the election. The Kansas City Breath Mints targeted Pudge Nakamoto with the Revoke Will, removing them from their roster. Nakamoto received Roamin' and roamed to the Charleston Shoe Thieves.
As the Blessings were distributed, BC Noir players Uncle Plasma and Liquid Friend joined the ILB as a result of Uncle Indemnity and The Big Sip, respectively. Plasma was recruited by the New York Millennials and Friend by the San Francisco Lovers.
