I highly suggest you read this SOMA fic

HARRY AND KIM VISUAL HARMONY. COLORS AND SHAPE LANGUAGE. Spoke on this much more at length on reddit but here I'll just paste my thesis: Harry and Kim look so good next to eachother because they have generally different shape languages (lines vs curves), their silhouettes compensate for the other (ex pants tucked into boots vs bellbottoms, mullet vs bald, etc), and their color motifs are opposed While each party has accents nonetheless reminiscent of the other. Enjoy the wonky graphics. Peace

fucks me up that by total coincidence the sun and moon's size difference is exactly matched to their difference in distance from us, thus making our beautiful total solar eclipses where you can see the silver threads of the sun's corona possible because the moon just covers the sun completely

The stars (literally) aligned just right for this experience to be possible. It's likely that aliens don't have this

Alright so here’s a thing- I’ve been thinking about Side Order and how it…..kinda lacked a bunch of things. SO guess what we’re doing today, plushlings-

We’re gonna talk about my Inka Rewrite version of Side Order! (Pt. 1)

Side order would mostly stay the same, gameplay wise. But here’s a main thing I would add.

#1: Palletes

When you unlock a pallete, the character who the pallete is linked to will show up in a specific spot somewhere around the order sector. But this is not “Actually” the character. They are just a projection of the person that you can talk to.

Pallete first obtained/not reconfigured: When you talk with them at first, they’ll act a little off. They won’t remember much, but will try to make general and hella vague small talk. They might remember some things the more you talk to them, but they’re just tiny memories. And eventually their dialogue loops if you try to talk to them too many times.

Pallete cleared/reconfigured: When you talk to them, they’ll act a lot more like their actual selves, and remember a lot more. You can listen to their rambles and even ask a few pre selected questions, to learn more about them. However, some memories/dialogue won’t be available unless you complete a run using their pallete a few more times. Basically, you use their pallete, you learn more about them.

When you collect both palletes of a group is characters (such as both the Squid Sisters or all three Deep Cut palletes)- you can talk to multiple of the characters at once.

Might make a follow up post at a later date! But let me know what you think of this so far!

Spiralbound Jabberblocky

This is my concept for a weapon (and a new weapon class) for Splatoon! It's inspired by a spiralbound notebook and ballpoint pen! The weapons works as a sword/rapier and shield combo!

Basic controls for the Jabberblocky weapon class: ZR tap = Shield bash. (It's like a horisontal roller flick in range, spread shot instead of long range) ZR hold = Shield bash + the shield is deployed (Like when you deploy a brella, it shoots ink first and then makes a shield that also inks the ground. Shield is maybe on par with undercover brella hitbox, maybe somewhat skinnier. The shield always stays with you, doesn't shoot away!) ZR hold + B + directional input = Accurate sword jab + player lunges forward (like a charged Splatana attack, but the sword isn't swung. It's thrust forward!) B + ZR = Inaccurate sword jab (Works like vertical roller flick, long range instead of spread shot. Has the same property as Shooters, Blasters, Dualies and Splatlings, with the projectile(s) being less accurate when jumping) B + ZR + directional input = Inaccurate sword jab + player lunges forward

So yeah, its like a Roller, Splatana and Brella blended into one. What it might gain in versatility is maybe balanced out by the shields and damage being more middlin. The hitboxes for the shield and ink attacks being smaller on average than their more specialized counterparts might make up for it??? Idk, I'm not great at balancing.

Ideas for future Jabberblockys: (under the cut)

Silly Slush Jabberblocky - The shield is based a slushy cup with a colorful slushy. (When you run out of ink/the shield is destroyed, the cup will look empty. Also inspired by the curved roman shields!) The sword/rapier is based on a silly/crazy straw! (The ink pattern it leaves can be wacky! Maybe even kinda random??)

Duel Screen Jabberblocky - The shield is based on the Nintendo DS, when the shield is deployed the DS opens up to a two part shield (maybe drawn in Pictochat or Flipnote Studio). The sword/rapier is the stylus! (You can take som design inspiration from the Styler from Pokemon Ranger??)

Dirk-away Jabberblocky - The shield is based on a round hand soap bottle. The sword/rapier is the soap pump but also mixed with a bubble wand! (They can re-use the Bloblobber projectiles. They've already basically re-used the Explosher projectiles for crab tank.)

Splatula Jabberblocky - The shield based on a frying pan and the sword/rapier on a spatula. (In lore this is after there have been peace talks, trade deals and cultural exchange between Inkadia and the salmonids for a while. Salmon runs is mostly just a combat sport now, which like in Bonerattle arena have audiences, but no real death. Inkfish are inspired by the combat style of salmonids and salmonids share some of their weapons with them, just as inkfish share their technology with them now. OR the situation is the same as in Splatoon 3 and the inkfish are doing cultural appropriation!)

Recephion Jabberblocky - (you know those pens that are chained to their stands that are at front desks and at banks? Those.) The shield is the stand (like a buckler shield) The sword/rapier is the pen that's chained to the stand (Its sword jab would have longer range, maybe the inkling/octoling would even throw it!)

(I also have vauge ideas for a broom and dustpan jabberblocky, but I'm not sure about the name, concept or if it's even "Splatoon-y" enough of an inspiration... Then I have a idea for a octo-boss tentacle jabberblocky, with a lightbulb shield. Idk if that's too wild tho... I would definetly include lore about how to best care for that kind of living sword!!! To let it play with braille rubix cubes and other handheld puzzles, as well as letting it taste different foods and stuff, since irl octopuses can taste with their tentacles!)
