Might i humbly request the jelly!neil au??

I really like neil's design as a jelly fish (also have you ever considered giving him other colors outside of orange for his jellyfish-ness??)

Well I have NOW, this was perfect to doodle after a long day

I also learned while doing these that Portuguese man o’ war are not technically jellyfish but we included him anyway 💕

Also mentioned was a species swap (thank you @jtl-fics ) so I have shark Neil and jelly Andrew too :D

My biggest Splatoon OC thing yet; it's a full weird-sea-people-band!

MOUTHWASH FOR WHALES (クジラ用のうがい薬)

* Post-punk / Krautrock band.

* Best known for their singles "Polyp Anna", "Inkopolis I Love You But You're Sinking Me" and "Crispy Scales".

* Their music is far too weird to get any Turf War play.

* Consists of vocalist Ella, drummer Manuel, guitarist O'Carroll, keyboardist Tharassa and sound engineer Stahli.

ELLA (エラ)

* Salmonid (oversized Smallfry).

* Her birth name is The Lustful Bleeding Axe of Ikejime Rock (生首岩の好色な出血斧).

* Screams more than sings.

* Stopped participating in Big Runs after eating a terrified Inkling boy in his home.

* Is considered a sellout in Salmonid society for refusing to fight and die.

* That's hair dye dripping down her face.

* Vegan hippie, has a bedroom full of rose quartz.

MANUEL (マヌエル)

* Portuguese man-o'-war.

* Fascinated with the history of telegraphy.

* A bit of an airhead.

* Talks to his zooids for advice.

O'CARROLL (オキャロル)

* Octocoral.

* Tired of people assuming he has something do with the Octarians.

* Stylises himself as a badass, but really rather spineless.

* Loves younger men.

* People have often mistaken him for a Christmas tree.

THARASSA (ヴェラ)

* Moon wrasse.

* Thinks of themselves as "punk", but actually comes from a wealthy family of caviar farmers.

* Smokes a lot.

* Wishes people would stop calling them a girl.

* Afraid of the ocean.

STAHLI (スタリ)

* Mutant algal bloom.

* Came into existence quite recently.

* Born from algae exposed to radioactive Salmonid poop.

* A theologer in his spare time.

* Gets claustrophobic very easily.

I've even made an album cover.

This took me hours, but it was totally worth it. Worse ways to spend my life, I suppose.

The whole band is CC-BY-SA 4.0, feel free to use them anywhere you like!

Today is Wet Beast Wednesday!

Today’s wet beast is: Man-of-war Fish

Olive’s wet beast fact: this little fishy has evolved to live within the extremely dangerous tentacles of the Portuguese Man O’ War. It is here that the fish feasts upon their gonads. Happy Pride.

Stay tuned for more Wet Beast Wednesdays!

🪼Daily Cnidarian Fact:🪼

Portuguese Man o' War: The Portuguese man o’ war, is often called a jellyfish, but is actually a species of siphonophore, a group of animals that are closely related to jellyfish. A siphonophore is unusual in that it is comprised of a colony of specialized, genetically identical individuals called zooids with various forms and functions, all working together as one. Each of the four specialized parts of a man o’ war is responsible for a specific task, such as floating, capturing prey, feeding, and reproduction. Found mostly in tropical and subtropical seas, men o' war are propelled by winds and ocean currents alone, and sometimes float in legions of 1,000 or more!

Dick Winter's full Letter to Charles Hudson. With the Love and Kisses "Dick" and other lovely things to say to your wounded Lieutenant like "for believe me---and this is no bull--I certainly did miss you, still do as a matter of fact", "get your fanny back here quick, see!!", and "incidentally you now stand in pretty damn good with the the bn. executive officer, namely me."

Sorry DeEtta he has a type and it's not WAVES

Also Dick was the censor for this letter. XOXOXO Winters.

Oh and this? I can't help but wonder if this is in reference to the racehorse...

Charlie Hudson for reference and a testament to Dick having good taste in men that look like Lewis Nixon. who stand out to him like Lewis Nixon in OCS
