Today's news: Two Splat (Bomb)-tastic weapon kits!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
First up is the Heavy Edit Nouveau with Splat Bomb and Crab Tank, a well-rounded and flexible kit for proactive cephalopods who want to do it all. There's also the Custom Range Blaster, which hearkens back to its Splatoon 1 counterpart with Splat bomb and Kraken Royale, which lends itself to a much more aggressive playstyle than the regular variant.

hey u seem cool, tell me about ur ttrpg-interest plssss (i need ttrpg-friends)
omg omg omg happily!!!
so ive been roleplaying for most of my life, I got my first d&d books when I was like, 10? and I did a lot of LARP as a kid, both by myself and with sibs/neighbors. I got to play my first d&d game when I was 14, and ran my first campaign at 16!!
the game I've played the most is easily d&d, I started playing in 3.5e, which is imo the best edition of d&d, and have played 4e (I actually think this is a well designed game from a combat tactics point of view, but it's terrible as a roleplaying game and as a d&d edition, it should have been its own game and it would have been much more successful), and have run a LOT of games in 5e
other games I've played a lot of include old World of Darkness (mostly VtM, but I've played most of the major splats in some way or another, and love to mix them), GURPS (which I'm currently starting a new campaign for my polycule), PbtA (Masks and Monster of the Week are two of my favorites, with Bluebeard's Bride getting a special shout-out).
I've also played a lot of custom games, or very loose rulesets. Some of my favorites for those include Doom (not the video game, a thriller/horror game played with a Jenga tower), and a game where instead of dice we used a tarot deck to determine outcomes.
I have two main worlds that I run campaigns in, I have a high fantasy d&d-inspired world named Arcanum (this is actually the name of the primary kingdom most of my stories take place in, the name of the real is Faermont) (this is the setting for the campaign I'm just starting, I'm sending my players into my version of Undermountain, a mega dungeon similar to if you've seen Delicious in Dungeon) (I have a bunch of Arcanum stuff posted to my blog, if you're interested in reading some lore or short fics) and I have a dark urban fantasy alternate earth I call Oakvale, which is the main city that I base my stories in (think vampires, werewolves, wizards, fae, shifters, magic, spirits, etc) (Oakvale is a fictional major city in Maine, with a few fictional surrounding cities that I created as well. The city proper is home to the current vampire government, and the other supes either hide in the city or live in the outskirts or one of the surrounding towns). I've been running games off and on in those settings for about 9ish years now.
I love love LOVE ttrpgs and will happily yap your ear off about anything you wanna know, I'd love to hear about your favorite ttrpgs!!!

Ice Dance Falls, Fails and Flubs
Part 2
Tumblr media
1. The Aboriginal Dance
Cultural appropriation at its finest. Seriously. How was this not banned??? VM’s Carmen gets banned but not this??
Points for not going with the standard ol’ Russian folk dance but this should never have been allowed. Aboriginal dance is an ancient tradition that dates back 60 000 years, it is a religion for the aboriginal people. There were once over 700 different tribes across Australia, each with their own unique storytelling. It is part of Aboriginal Dreamtime culture and is a way of passing down legends and stories through generations.
So, what specifically is wrong with this above, well other than ALL OF IT:
The music: this is not Aboriginal music, idk what it is but it is not utilising traditional instruments, the “singing” is not culturally accurate.
The costumes: this is just so offensive and inappropriate. Yes, aboriginal culture and dances use face paint (oca to be exact) but not like this. They do not where leaves all over themselves, nor do they wear strings. At one point in the season, he was dressed in a darker unitard and black face- AT LEAST that was banned.
The choreography: this is just not the kind of dancing that can be done on ice. Flamenco, yes, waltzs, yes, country dance, sure. Not this. This Russian team makes it out as though Aboriginals are Neanderthals. They are not. Their dances are are pieces of art and communicate 10s of thousands of years of history. The nose rubbing is not aboriginal but more a Māori (new zealand/ pacific islands) custom.
How this wasn’t deducted all the component scores I have no idea, it’s a disgrace this won an Olympic medal
Tumblr media
2. Yuri Balkov: Human Turd 💩
Partly responsible for the shit show that was 1998 ice dance. Banned for a year then back on the panel several times again, and was up to his same shit once again here in 2002. Spineless turd with no respect for the sport he is.
Tumblr media
3. Nailed the Ending
This is much better with volume (timestamp 1:11:00 on the Beijing FD video).
Point 1. The lil ‘sexy time’ moment 😖
Point 2. Why is it necessary to put a move like this right at the end when you have just done a lift?
Point 3. Who came up with this? Of course he was gonna dropped her! She has no point of contact on him so how is she suppose to get upright again when she does not have Tessa Virtue’s core of steel??
Point 4. Obviously on the first watch you notice the drop first, but just before that you get an elbow to the face- lovely.
Point 5. The perfectly timed crash drop on the music. Art. I hope she was ok, this is a horrible thing to happen, but the musically comedy of it is just gold.
Also this was a very bad fd.. so boring, bad music.. this ending kinda came par for the course.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
4. Weapo’s Twizzles
Bobble bobble bobble bobble fall over bobble bobble
Tumblr media
5. FP/M Salt Lake City Edition
Splat.
Come on man! How hard is it to stay up right? (ice skating is very hard but these are Olympic level athletes… supposedly).
It truly does not surprise me it was considered taking this “sport” out of the Olympics. Thank god they didn’t and two precious bby angels came among to rescue it.
Oh yeah btw.. this won a medal 🫣😵‍💫🥴
Tumblr media
6. 22 year old high level athlete doesn’t take responsibility for her own costume; chaos ensues.
I was always taught from starting dance at 3 years old- your costume is your responsibility. If it doesn’t feel right, you get the safety pin or needle and thread and you fix it, or you at least make sure someone else does it up for you PROPERLY, obviously no one wants this to happen to them esp not on global television but it was solely her responsibility to fix it (things are different in shows/companies where you have costumers , but you individually- your own costume you are responsible for). To continue complaining about this for the next 4 years is a childish joke and even if the hideous green dress had stayed together you still shouldn’t have won 😘
7. ISU after 1998: “We’re gonna fix ice dance judging”. ISU in 2002: “Psych”.
I hate this and love this an equal amount.
The synchronicity of Rod and Tracey: “They’ve been beaten, by the Israelis”. (Pls don’t take that out of context rn). Tracey was just 100% DONE with all of this.
From Margarita and Povilas in their crowns, her throwing hers off and storming out. Jeff Buttle shouting ‘WHAT THE FUCK??’ Iconic.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
8. Scooter’s Nose Bleed
Poor bby. Iconic way to finish off your first National Championships win. Then they make you go out and do an encore 🤦‍♀️. I love in the first gif how Shay pops into the shot 😂
Also ironic thinking about a certain team at 2017 worlds getting blood on each other and their reaction… do you think T even blinked twice at getting S’s nose blood on her?? I don’t think so..

As someone who also grew up playing 3/3.5, who switched to Pathfinder, and who played AD&D in the years before 3rd edition came out...what D&D3e did you play? Even if you played strictly "rules as written", 3.x was one of the most customizable, if not the most customizable, of all the D&D editions.
In the base game, the rules opened up race/class combinations that had never been possible before, along with granular skills, the wide number of feats, and the broad collection of items and spells to choose from. The great number of so-called "splat books", and the addition of more and more alternate class features that came with them, along with Skill Tricks, new races, new classes, and new systems kept it that way. That's without even getting into at-the-table customization.
This was the edition that put reminders at multiple points in the Players' Handbook that players could always talk to their DM if they wanted to change anything. It's the edition where the listed final step in character creation, after even picking your looks, personality, and background, is "Customizing Your Character." The book explicitly told players that they could fluff things however they wanted, and that if they didn't like the base mechanics of something they were allowed to change it as long as the DM signed off on the changes, with examples. There were sections in most books about how to make your own content, and I can remember at least one entire book dedicated just to helping DMs homebrew. They made it very clear that changing things up at the table was something both intended and encouraged.
When I say the rules were meant to be optional, I mean the rules were meant to be optional.
3.5 PHB, page 5, "The Rules"
Important: You don't have to memorize this book to play the game. Once you understand the basics, start playing! Use this book as a reference during play. When in doubt, stick to the basics, keep playing, and have fun.
3.5 DMG, page 4, "How to Use This Book"
No one expects you to read this book cover to cover. It’s not a novel. Instead, we arranged this book into topics that you can refer to when you need them.
What you're saying about not using rules that don't make things fun is exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about. What I'm saying is that the game is intentionally designed around that. Beyond that, it is intentionally designed around the assumption that no one is going to know all the rules in the first place. Do you know the exact rule for a situation? If so, great! You can use that if it seems fun. If not, the vast majority of situations can be resolved with, "Roll 1d20 and add relevant modifiers. If the result is high, it goes well." You are not only not expected to know all the rules, nor use them, but you're fully expected to change them.
I think an important part of the "D&D is easy to learn" argument is that a lot of those people don't actually know how to play D&D. They know they need to roll a d20 and add some numbers and sometimes they need to roll another type of die for damage. A part of it is the culture of basically fucking around and letting the GM sort it out. Players don't actually feel the need to learn the rules.
Now I don't think the above actually counts as knowing the rules. D&D is a relatively crunchy game that actually rewards system mastery and actually learning how to play D&D well, as in to make mechanically informed tactical decisions and utilizing the mechanics to your advantage, is actually a skill that needs to be learned and cultivated. None of that is to say that you need to be a perfectly tuned CharOp machine to know how to play D&D. But to actually start to make the sorts of decisions D&D as a game rewards you kind of need to know the rules.
And like, a lot of people don't seem to know the rules. They know how to play D&D in the most abstract sense of knowing that they need to say things and sometimes the person scowling at them from behind the screen will ask them to roll a die. But that's hardly engaging with the mechanics of the game, like the actual game part.
And to paraphrase @prokopetz this also contributes to the impression that other games are hard to learn: because a lot of other games don't have the same culture of play of D&D so like instead of letting new players coast by with a shallow understanding of the rules and letting the GM do all the work, they ask players to start making mechanically informed decisions right away. Sure, it can suck for onboarding, but learning from your mistakes can often be a great way to learn.

// Heya! The mod of this blog here!
From what I’ve gathered, a lot of people, especially in the splat rp community are new, which is great! As someone who’s been roleplaying for a long time, I love seeing new faces. However, it also seems less veterans of similar communities are around and as such, tips and tricks that people have learned with askblogging and rping on tumblr haven’t been regularly brought up!
So consider this post a helpful guide to tips and tricks to rp blogging on tumblr! I’m not here to tell anyone how to do things, but these are simply things I’ve learned and I personally think help enhance the experience! If you have advice you want to add, or questions you want to ask, feel free to add on, ask me or DM me! Without further ado, let’s get on with it!
Tumblr media
QOL Tip 1 - RP icons!
While not necessary for the rp experience, icons can help with viewer engagement and also visually spice up text; especially if there’s lots of it! While any size would be fine, 100x100 pixels or under is recommended! This is to avoid making the post longer than it should be! I’ll be using some of my mod icons throughout this post to demonstrate! You can acquire icons under the various ways: canon art, fanart, or your own art! Canon and your own art are easy, since people know the source and you don’t need to credit yourself! If you want to use fanart, be sure to ask artists for their permission and credit the source!
Tumblr media
QOL Tip 2 - Blog themes!
I’ve seen a surprisingly low amount of custom blog themes! In fairness, tumblr has been kind of quietly shoving them away for some time now, though it’s one of the best features in my opinion! It’s a classic part of older internet culture, where you get to cultivate a theme to what you want to portray! Don’t know how to code? There’s plenty of free themes people upload for use! One of the most famous blogs to get them from is theme-hunter, though individual theme makers may have their own blogs so be sure to be on the lookout!
Tumblr media
You can enable custom themes in your account settings! Click the edit theme button aaand!
Tumblr media
You’ll find the custom theme button right at the top of your settings! You simply replace all the code in here with a custom theme you found! Be sure to try and make it legible for others to look at!
Tumblr media
QOL Tip 3 - XKit!
It occurs to me not many people may be aware of what XKit is, so here’s a quick rundown: it’s a third party add-on that improves your tumblr browsing experience! Whether it’s aesthetically or functionally, XKit is here to help! There’s been quite a weird experience with the add-on for years; a history I won’t step into right now, but XKit Rewritten is openly available and free to use! I highly recommend using its many features if you haven’t already. Here’s both the Chrome and Firefox versions!
Tumblr media
Blog Tip 1 - Blogs are your friend!
I’ve seen a lot regular anons rping in inboxes lately, which is well and good! But personally, I like being able to find stuff I send people, or being able to reblog it somewhere specific or keep my muses I send out in order! If you operate from a main blog, like I do, sideblogs are great to make and simple! Being able to keep your muses and any asks you send out organized in one spot not only helps yourself, but anyone you send asks out to or you want to reply to I would say this is a bigger personal decision than some of the other stuff in here, but I find it helps in the long haul especially if you want to keep certain things going! Even a blog where you can just reblog asks you send out would be nice! If you wish to not reveal your main blog for whatever reason, you can simply send it on an anon and include your sideblog’s url in the ask!
Tumblr media
Blog Tip 2 - Organization and Setup
If you’re intent on having a blog, simply having a blank page can only take you so far! There’s a few important things that I highly recommend blogs have if they wish to help themselves and others.
1. Tagging system: While not required, personally I find this helps me stay organized! Sometimes, all you need is to tag asks or rp responses, but I also like to tag anons and specific blogs I interact with! It helps when I want to look through something and I can use the tagging system instead of the search one, which sometimes leaves posts out! (Note: As far as I’m aware, the tagging system on blogs recently changed when trying to find them from how it used to be, so be aware of that!) Another important thing with tagging systems is to keep them consistent! This may seem obvious, but I had a serious issue with this when I was younger and had about 3 tags with slight variations of each other so none of my posts showed up in the same tag! 2. Blog pages: Even with the default themes, you can make custom pages on your blog that’ll even show up on mobile! (There’s a button for it to show up on the page, though most people link them in custom themes.) You can use this for many things, such as a reference page for your characters and other things, but I highly recommend setting up an about/rules page. These help with interaction between other users
Tumblr media
Blog Tip 3 - Roleplay and Post Length
Roleplay is one of my favourite parts of blogging in these sorts of communities; getting to interact with other bloggers and muses is awesome! Which is why it’s so important to keep your experience in mind when roleplaying! Ye olde ancient tip is to “trim” rp posts that are starting to get long! What’s trimming a post mean, you might ask? Well, rp posts tend to get rather long on tumblr, and it can make it a lot to scroll through! Both for you and others. Trimming it allows the rp post to not be as long, but you can still continue with your partner(s). My recommendation is to try and trim before 5-7 replies are hit, but this can vary dependent on the length of replies!
There’s two main ways to trim posts! 1. Use XKit’s feature: XKit has a feature that allows you to trim rp posts; it can end up a little funky sometimes, but it makes things shorter for sure! 2: Make a new post: This may seem like a lot, but making a new post is no big deal! It’s main done by linking the previous reply somewhere in the new post and either pinging your partner or messaging it to them!
Tumblr media
As previously mentioned, I hope this doesn’t come across as me telling anyone what to do. These are just things I learned when I started roleplaying, and I’ve kept with me since then. And I hope they help you! If you’ve made it this far, I hope it was a helpful read at least! I tend to not make posts like this; I certainly didn’t expect to make one on this silly kitty blog but what can I say. People outside of the splat community are welcome to rb this if you think it’ll help! I may have missed something, or may not personally use it, so feel free to add on things in the replies or reblogs!
I hope you all have a nice day, and thank you for reading and following this blog if you do!

Poodle Pressure
(I wrote this for my first college-level creative writing class, in 1987 I think. The assignment was for a group of us to take an existing classic title -- ours was “The Turn of the Screw” -- and re-imagine a completely different story based on the title. We decided to write about a college student who is cracking under the pressure (I wonder why college students would pick such a topic... :-))
I have edited this slightly to remove some cultural references from the time period that don’t make sense anymore and add some from later time periods that do, and I’ve changed the title, and it’s nowhere near complete enough to be a story on its own -- mine was part 2, and I also did the part 4 but without 1 and 3 I can’t actually even see how 2 related to 4 anymore -- but I thought I’d post it because I didn’t know jack shit about neurodivergence then but I bet a lot of people will find this relateable.)
TW for fantasized violence against dogs. No actual dogs within the fictional universe were harmed during the making of this story.
--
That damn dog is barking again.
It never fails. Every goddamn morning at 7 am, the dog wakes me up. There’s this idiot down there who won’t walk the dog until 7:30, and never mind how many people the dog wakes up. Maybe I should organize a lynching party. You know, maybe get together with ten other people who aren’t too stoned to help. “We’ve come for your dog, lady!” We could grab the dog – and the girl would be screaming, of course, “My puppy, my baby! Don’t hurt my Tootsie!” or whatever the thing’s name is. Then we could drag it out and hang it by its leash to a telephone pole. Cut its throat, maybe, to warn the other dogs. All its fluffy purebred fur all bloody. This can happen even to a purebred poodle, you mutts. So shut up!
What would we have then? Dog retribution? Would the neighborhood Shepherds and Dalmations and Dobies circle around my door at night, with a Gary Larsonesque human doll to burn in effigy? Ah, the hell with it, Berke, you could never get a lynch mob together anyway. Not even a petition.
Why don’t I get up and tell that woman off? “Lady, get your dog to be quiet or I’ll burn off its goddamn fluffy fur.” Yeah, that’s it. Think I will…
Berke, who the hell do you think you’re fooling?
You know, I was up late last night, studying for my goddamn Bizarre Equations class, aka Physics That Make No Sense If You’re Euclid or Newton. I don’t need this. Don’t need a fluffy dog yapping because its mistress (take that any way you want) won’t let it out. It’s 7:10 AM, do you know where all your cramming went? Do you know where your sleep went? Don’t you want to kill that dog?
Why don’t I just put on my slippers and go downstairs and knock on that woman’s door? “Lady, get the lead out, you’re gonna have to scrape your dog off the wall if you don’t let it out.” I said this already, didn’t I?
Okay. Truth time. I don’t have the guts. That’s it in a nutshell. What if I went down there and she called the cops on me? That’d be all I need, with a goddamn exam coming up today. Ol’ Papa Einstein, “I want to know God’s thoughts, the rest are details.” Okay, Al, why don’t you tell me what God thinks of a barking poodle?
You know, I bet if her window broke, that poodle would jump right out and splat itself all over the ground. And wouldn’t that be something. Release, you know? The poodle’s all bottled up in the environment, full of energy. Lots of pressure. So you puncture the apartment and release the poodle pressure, and the poodle comes rushing out and turns itself into a bloody pancake.
---
I don’t know why I did that.
I thought I had it all out of my system, you know, writing it down’s supposed to be the next best thing to talking to a shrink or a friend, assuming you have one of either, right? So I just finished writing about the poodle, but it was just getting me madder and madder. So I picked up my sneaker, went out on my balcony, leaned way over like this is one of those cautionary tales where the young man planning mischief falls ten stories to his death, except I was smart enough to keep my foot chocked against one of the bars so the worst I’d have done is shatter my tibia, and I took my big heavy waterproof hiking sneaker and I threw it through her window, just to the right of her balcony.
As in through. As in it didn’t bounce off like I half expected it to. It shattered her window and went in. And now I have no sneaker.
I don’t know why I did that. I mean, the dog didn’t shut up or anything, in fact it just got louder, and now I’m going to have to go around in my socks all day. How the hell am I supposed to go to class in my socks? I could cut class, but what do I do about my exam? “I couldn’t take my exam because my sneaker was stuck in some lady’s apartment because I was too chickenshit to go ask for it back.” What the hell kind of excuse is that?
I suppose I could try to steal the sneaker back. When she takes the dog out – and it still hasn’t shut up, you know – I could sneak downstairs and into her apartment and take the sneaker. I mean, I can’t ask her for it – “Excuse me, I’m the guy who threw a sneaker at your window, can I have it back?” Maybe I could make an excuse. “Uh, yes, I was – I was testing the wind, yeah, I was testing the wind by holding my sneaker out the window, and it slipped, yeah, that’s it, and, and the wind blew it through your window. Yeah, that’s the ticket!” Nah. I’m gonna have to steal it back.
My God what’ll happen if she catches me? She’ll know it was my sneaker. It fits my foot. “Excuse me, sir, but why the hell did you throw a sneaker and break my window?” What can I say? “Your dog was bugging me?”
Oh, fuck, this is not going to work. Maybe if I wear six or seven pairs of socks, nobody will know the difference. Yeah. “Hey, Berke, like your new shoes.” “Uh, yeah, they’re the latest thing. Flexible Footwear. They’re eco-friendly.” I could say I was adapting to Japanese custom – “I left my sneakers in the lobby. I didn’t want to mark up the nice floor.” “It’s covered by a rug, moron.” “Well, uh, I was Japanese in a past life, you know?” No. That won’t work. I better steal the thing.
What if I cut? “I had to miss the exam on Einsteinian physics because of dire emergency. I had 24-hour AIDS.” Oh, yeah. Right. “I broke my leg but Magic Leg Glue helped me fix it right up! Only $29.99 if you order now!” “My mother died and I had to be present at the reading of the will or miss out on $30 million bucks, you can have a million of it if you just pretend I took the test and got an A.” No, I can’t cut. But how’m I going to steal that sneaker back?
Well. What if I call her up and pretend to be her boyfriend. I’ll tell her to meet me at the usual place, and I’ll burglarize her apartment while she’s out. Only one problem. I don’t know if she even has a boyfriend. Or if she even likes guys. Or her phone number. Or what her name is. That’s four problems, I’ll come in again.
I don’t even know her goddamn name, and I’ve broken her window.
There she goes! Walking her dog! I can just go downstairs now and get my sneaker back. Just slip on down…
There’s someone fixing that window from the inside.
Oh, shit, this has got to be a nightmare. Things like this don’t happen to real people. Why the hell did I throw that sneaker? Did I really believe the poodle would jump out? It was just so vivid… And so stupid. How the hell could I be that idiotic? Why did I throw that sneaker?
I’m tired…
---
My exam is taking place right now. I can’t go. I’m a sneakerless prisoner here.
Maybe I should borrow a shoe from Wood. He’s an asshole, but he’s my size, or close enough… still time…
I think I’ll go back to sleep. When I wake up everything will be normal again and I won’t have lost my sneaker and I won’t have missed my exam. Okay?
You listening?
---
I met a girl the other day.
She wasn’t what you would call a real girl, she was a fake girl, you know? Like some mad scientist boiled down a hundred girls to get to the essence of girl and then poured it into a composite body. Like the Bride of Frankenstein, All-American version. Or what if Professor Utonium didn’t put Chemical X in the mixture so Bubbles grew up without superpowers, as a pure construct of sugar, spice and everything nice. A 3-D printed girl from a high-res mold. One of those anime PC idol girls who comes to life. I kept expecting her to disappear in a puff of smoke or something.
---
I want to go home.
Which is not to say I want to go to my house, the place where I live. No, I want to go home. I’ve never been there before. I don’t think anybody has. I don’t think it exists.
I want to live in a sci-fi dimension where the laws of physics are the same but human nature changes so I’m normal and I’m not alone and I feel like I belong. I can’t even imagine what it would be like, a place where I could be at home. But if I ever find it, I’ll know.

ah, the guys. the polycule. of course, my friend. I apologize for any inaccuracy on my part.
(FOR ANY NEWCOMERS, THIS IS SLIGHTLY OUTDATED, AS I FIRST POSTED THIS ASK GAME BEFORE MOST OF THE NEW SEASONS OF SPLATOON 3. SO, IF YOU SEND IN ONE NOW, I PROBABLY WOULDN'T GIVE A NEWER WEAPON.)
For Denki Kaminari (BNHA/MHA), I give the...
Tumblr media
DUALIE SQUELCHERS!!!
imo these are the little guy dualies and even though denki is an alright height he is. a little guy to me. he would have these. also, they look like drill bits! I was originally going to give him a roller, but I thought that dualies fit him more. he'd probably dodge roll off the stage. but I bet he'd have fun doing so!! also after I read the line below "making you a real nuisance to the enemy team" I knew. it is his weapon.
"The Dualie Squelchers are dualie versions of the Jet Squelcher. They feature an exceptional combination of highly accurate rapid fire after rolling, with longish range! You can pinpoint your opponents' positions with the Point Sensor and Tenta Missiles, making you a real nuisance to the enemy team! And you can dodge-roll away from opponents who get close! I recommend them for nimble fighters who want to support their team!"
//
I believe Hitoshi Shinsō would use the...
Tumblr media
KENSA CHARGER !
To quote my own Samsung Notes entry on this weapon: "oh my god oh my fucking god get the fuck away from me you're going to kill me you're going to put that charger in my mouth and kill me in the most violent way possible who are you and why do you hate me. why are you always on the other team. and why must you kill me." I feel like he'd be cracked at this game if he tried and if not, he'd at least play with the intent to kill. I know he's not aggressively violent! I just feel like he'd splat player after player with an expressionless look on his face. He feels the ink of his enemies on his hands...and he keeps going anyways! Damn it, quite getting up on high ground to snipe people! Get down, Hitoshi; I'm trying to win here!
"The Kensa Splat Charger is a limited edition, custom Splat Charger created in collaboration with Toni Kensa! This charger has the same specs as the original, but it comes with a Sprinkler sub for expanding your turf-claiming capabilities! And the Baller special gives charger users a way to roll their way deep into enemy turf and take the fight to their opponents! Hang back and support from afar, or press the fight on the front lines! Either way, this set's for you!"
yo so
reblog this and I will tell you what splatoon weapon (any game) your f/o mains (or one that reminds me of them)
!!! proship dni !!!
(I apologize in advance if any of these take me a while to get through!)

The Sharpe Household
Now I know I still haven’t finished posting all my genderswapped uberhood pictures yet, but now I’ve edited this draft, I absolutely do not trust Tumblr to save the changes, so I’m just gonna go ahead and post it. So! Back to my uberhood, where it’s time to tackle the second University subhood, Academie Le Tour! Our first stop is the Sharpe Household.
Tumblr media
Here’s their cute little house.
Tumblr media
Unfortunately, because it was made pre-Seasons, I had to spend a whole chunk of money making their attic work.
Tumblr media
As in, ripped out all the wallpaper and floors to do it. In the end, I couldn’t even afford the spiral staircase, so they can’t actually get up there yet.
Tumblr media
Anyway, the household consists of Jonah Powers, who has a rather unfortunate-looking face, Roxie Sharpe, who we already met, and her dorky baby brother, Edwin. Roxie and Jonah turned out to be triple-bolt Romance Sims, so I don’t even get to finish makeovers before they wind up glued at the lips.
Tumblr media
Edwin happens to be a Knowledge Sim and so instantly rolls a want to write his term paper, so I locked that and made him work out. Need that sweet, sweet A+ money to redecorate!
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, Roxie and Jonah went out to Skin Graffiti to get some new tatts painted on their skin rather than on their outfits. Roxie: Where’s the stylists though? I was kinda wanting some new lipstick.
Tumblr media
Yeeppppp, it was an owned lot and there was supposed to be two stylists and a cashier, but when I sent them , there was just the regular game generated teen cashier. I wasn’t sure if maybe it was something to do with them being YAs and daring to venture beyond the Uni subhood, so I loaded up my townie business owner and checked the business info and got this rather ominous pop-up. Several others were the same, so I sold them all, bulldozed a couple and brought this one back. Hopefully it was just a random glitch and won’t happen again!
Tumblr media
I then sent them to the student center to pick up their welcome packs and try out the custom food stands. Unfortunately, the chef kept erroring out. Happily that turned out to be a much easier fix - I’d just accidentally deleted the food during my mass CC purge.
Tumblr media
In the meantime though, it’s time to go home and eat dinner in the unpapered kitchen. At least there’s floors now!
Tumblr media
Roxie: I wanted soup. Next time, pinky swear.
Tumblr media
I moved the bass downstairs so they could use it. Jonah: :D
Tumblr media
Edwin: Do you have to? Jonah: YES.
Tumblr media
I got tired of making Edwin work out in front of the TV. You need tons of space for it, and it’s ANNOYING. So I sent him to the pool instead.
Tumblr media
You can’t afford it. Jonah: Watch me buy it anyway. (He didn’t even get to drink it, some dormie snuck by and yoinked it before he got the chance.)
Tumblr media
Roxie: AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Turns out her OTH is Music and Dance, so it’s nice to have a ‘musician’ Sim who’s actually into music.
Tumblr media
She is not into games. Roxie: Why are you doing this to me? Because you wanna write your term paper and you need a logic point.
Tumblr media
Delilah O'Feefe invited herself in and made a beeline for Edwin.
Tumblr media
Specifically, Edwin’s lips.
Tumblr media
Edwin: *SPLAT* Perhaps she’s an energy vampire.
Tumblr media
Jonah: Oops.
Tumblr media
Jonah: I REALLY REGRET DOING THIS IN MY UNDERWEAR! Delilah: NOT AS MUCH AS I DO!!!
Tumblr media
First semester grades.
Tumblr media
Roxie: Babe, you could just wait until I’m done. Jonah: I could, but I don’t want to.
Tumblr media
I guess all that personal hygiene got them in the mood.
Tumblr media
Jonah: Goodbye virginity! Roxie: Goodbye your virginity! Jonah: And yours. Roxie: Of course!
Tumblr media
Edwin: Excuse me, coming through.
Tumblr media
Family dinner in the newly redecorated kitchen.
Tumblr media
Coach: GET DOWN AND GIVE ME FIFTY! Jonah: I’m busy. Coach: I DON’T GIVE A RAT’S ASS!
Tumblr media
Jonah: Fine, I’ll do the stupid situps.
Tumblr media
Jonah: Gonna cry about it though.
Tumblr media
Back to the student cener! Everybody rolled wants to write their term papers this time, so I was able to order Roxie and Jonah to play chess.
Tumblr media
And the food stand’s all fixed! Jonah: Soup-er!
Tumblr media
Roxie: You cheated. Jonah: Only at chess! Roxie: What are you insinuating!? Jonah: Uh, nothing? What? Roxie: What?
Tumblr media
Term paper time!
Tumblr media
Has Roxie left because Jonah cheated or because of his stanky armpits? You decide!
Tumblr media
Actually it’s because she needs another charisma point.
Tumblr media
Roxie: I DON’T WANNA DO THIS. Yes you do! It’s literally in your wants panel!
Tumblr media
Roxie: NUH-UH AND YOU CAN’T MAKE ME! IT’S LITERALLY AT 99%!
Tumblr media
Edwin: Well this is awkward.
Tumblr media
Some pool.
Tumblr media
While Jonah works on his term paper.
Tumblr media
Finally, ten million years later, they go home.
Tumblr media
Llama Mascot: Gimme a woo! Gimme a hoo! You’ll be lucky if they don’t give you a punch.
Tumblr media
Edwin: Noooo my dinner!
Tumblr media
Streaker: Would a little naked hula make you feel better? Edwin: No it would not. Streaker: Killjoy.
Tumblr media
I think this is the first time Jonah’s managed to take an actual bath! Jonah: It’s overrated.
Tumblr media
Edwin: Just playing a movie in my head before I go to sleep. Any good? Edwin: Yep, except there was a single line of dialogue I didn’t like and now I have to start the entire thing from the beginning.
Tumblr media
Oh, Jonah didn’t finish his term paper at the student union, so he’s doing that now. Jonah: Idea!
Tumblr media
Roxie: Yay, drums!
Tumblr media
Roxie: Wait, I’m hungry. Roxie: Time to play bass guitar!
Tumblr media
I decided to try and find out Jonah’s OTH. It’s not science. Jonah: The stars are still pretty though.
Tumblr media
Roxie guitar spam.
Tumblr media
Edwin: So the thing is, you’ve really gotta- Jonah: LA LA LA DON’T GIVE A SHIT.
Tumblr media
I guess Edwin decided his revenge would be cockblocking. Edwin: Good night, sweet sister.
Tumblr media
Really creepy cockblocking. Edwin: I shall watch over you all night. Roxie: SNORRRRRE.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It didn’t work.
Tumblr media
Edwin: It’s not that I don’t like you, you just set off all my warning sirens. Jonah: Rude.
Tumblr media
A+ all round!
Tumblr media
A little sibling football.
Tumblr media
Cockblocking again? Why don’t you use your own room? Edwin: It’s busy.
Tumblr media
Roxie: Is it hot in here or is it just me?
Tumblr media
Edwin: Fada soola gor! Jonah: Fada soola SHUT UP.
Tumblr media
Edwin: We can play football though? Jonah: Sure!
Tumblr media
Jonah: THINK FAST, NERD!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Roxie: I’m so smart, go me.
Tumblr media
She’s feeling so smart, she decides to try her hand at making robots.
Tumblr media
Roxie: Robots were boring, decided to do something better with my hands.
Tumblr media
Roxie: Which is your cue to leave. Cheerleader: But but but... balls.
Tumblr media
Cheerleader: You guys are done, right?
Tumblr media
Cheerleader: Harder! Better! Faster! Stronger!
Tumblr media
Jonah: DO YOU MIND!? Cheerleader: Lol no.
Tumblr media
Cheerleader: WOO TERM PAPER!
Tumblr media
That’s disgusting. Jonah: Eh, I’ve had worse in my mouth.
Tumblr media
I like family dinners.
Tumblr media
Robot repairs.
Tumblr media
Roxie playing drums in her underoos.
Tumblr media
Roxie wanted a music player, so I let her go and buy one.
Tumblr media
Roxie: -And it was THIS big!
Tumblr media
Edwin: Please can we move the bathroom door some place else? Anywhere else?
Tumblr media
A first kiss soon soothes the mental scarring.
Tumblr media
Jonah: She’s NAKED!
Tumblr media
Roxie: And aiiiiiiieiiiiiiiieiiiiiiiii will always love yooooooooooooooo...
Tumblr media
A+ all round again!
Tumblr media
I feel like impaling Roxie to kill the roaches is a slightly extreme reaction.
Tumblr media
Roxie: Candy counts as groceries, right? YES.
Tumblr media
Jonah: And stretch, two three four...
Tumblr media
Edwin: Ew, snow.
Tumblr media
Edwin: Ew, roaches.
Tumblr media
Skillz.
Tumblr media
But not the skills she needs, so it’s back out to the student union to play chess against random teenagers.
Tumblr media
Jonah: Help, I’m stinky. *gorilla impression*
Tumblr media
Oh, I was tired of roaches, so I tried fencing the bin in on three sides to see if that would stop people kicking it over. Marla: It doesn’t. Excuse me, what the fuck did they do to you to deserve bin kicking?
Tumblr media
Marla: Me? Kick bins? I would never! I’m the nicest possible person! I literally just watched you do it.
Tumblr media
Roxie: You’re damn lucky I don’t have enough influence points to make you clean, but if you do it again, I will break your fingers.
Tumblr media
Oh, Jonah wants to fuck more people and befriend his professor, so why not screw two birds with one woohoo? Jonah: Hello professor, you’re looking very sexy today. Now please leave, Roxie’s due home in ten minutes.
Tumblr media
Roxie: Hi professor! Do you wanna build a snowman? Professor: NO I DO NOT.
Tumblr media
And the semester ends with a few grades slipping. Oh well, at least everybody passed!

Found the sci-fi thing that inspired this post here. Again, written some time ago (2014 according to the time stamp). I edited lightly to make the opening a bit clearer as to who was acting when by replacing pronouns with names.
This was actually born from my misunderstanding of a request for describing how you filet a fish. And instead of going a normal route, I decided to go ‘sci-fi fish merchants’
William’s voice broke though the dull hum of the engines as he eased up on the thrusters slightly. “Port’s busy again.” Beside him, he could hear Michael suck his teeth at the sight of the Exo ships.
“Yeah. Should be room to dock, though.” Sighting an empty loading zone, his partner began steering the small shipping vessel through the mass of ships of various make.
“ Wait, no, don’t dock there,” William said as hands knocked against Michael’s finger-less gloves abruptly, causing the ship to tilt and jostle as the two engaged in a small war over the steering apparatus.
He shortly found himself dodging a studded leather arm guard that seemed intent on introducing itself to his nose. “Do you see anywhere else to park, dumb-ass,” Michael shouted.
William rubbed his neckerchief like he always did when angry and straightened out before they could collide with another human vessel. “Go check the other side – maybe there’s something closer to the stall.”
“There’s a free spot here!”
Releasing a large gust of air, William gritted his teeth and clenched a fist on his threadbare jeans. “The fish will go bad by the time we set up if we stop here.”
A snicker sounded through the cockpit. “Like the Exos could tell the difference anyway.”
“If they get sick –“
His chastising remark was cut short as the ship pulled into the spot before someone else could move in. “So what? It’s not like they’ll die, or anything.”
“Fine. But it’s on your head when the IHS come calling.” Last thing he needed was the Interstellar Health Society calling on him and checking out his ship. Thing was in bad need of a proper cleaning, but by now he was used to the smell of the lake, fish, and engine oil.
“The new IHS leader is a human – she’ll get the Exos to drop their complaints.” Michael shot William his signature yet odd half-smile at him as he propped his feet up on the dash, having switched off the engines and put out a quick byte to alert the Patrol that a new ship had docked.
He sighed and gave his friend a soft glare as he walked down to the cargo bay. “Not the point,” he called as the door slid shut behind him. After a few moments, it opened again and Michael joined him to help with the goods.
Soon a hissing of doors signalled the equalising of the air pressure, and soon two sets of footsteps sounded as they unloaded their cargo onto the shiny dock before them. Michael called over a robotic lift, and after a quick thanks he set about loading the crates onto the levitating platform before hopping on himself for a quick ride. The muted sounds of the port and the intermittent revving of engines soon gave way to the loud chattering and music of the market. After they finished unloading their heavy load, he unfurled the stall’s banner. It seemed no sooner had he done this than clattering stepped up to the newly awakened stall.
“Thatket kikar Shnitk tatk?” The Exo before him had mandibles, and he’s pretty sure he recognised the chinks in the eye stalks, but his goddamn translator was working up again and he couldn’t place the foreign voice.
“Sorry, translator’s broken. What would you like today?” Smile and nod, and everything will work out great, he thought to himself as he surveyed his arthropod-equse customer.
“Kattkritnekaar. Kiktatt. Ak fresh fish taktratii?“
Shit. He really should have gone for the fancy translator instead of the coffee machine. “Michael, did you get that?”
“Yeah, he said he wanted a filet of catfish. Asked if the fish was fresh today. Oh, and he’s sorry to hear about the translator.” Michael sounded like he was trying not to laugh as he passed a bucket of clams to a scaly, blue humanoid.
His cheeks hurt from the false smile. “Oh, yes, apologies. Yes, our fish is fresh today, just brought in this morning. If you wait just a moment, I’ll get the cut. Ah, good morning.” Another Exo had come up beside him, and had cocked its head at him curiously. He wanted to strangle whoever taught the Exos that humans smile when they mean no ill-will.
“Lallaal, Wollinam. Lalli belli nawo paa?”
His eyes widened and he brushed a hand through his choppy hair – he knew this one. “Sorry Lillia, but I’m a bit busy at the moment. Michael can take care of you. Hey Mike, get over here!” He crooked his fingers at his friend and couldn’t seem to turn to go to the sheltered back of the stall fast enough. A laughing child ran by and the translator screeched angrily in his ear, causing him to finally reach up and turn off the offending mechanism.
Behind him, Michael’s voice rang out with confidence. “Yo, what can I help you with?”
A swish of cloth signalled his movement to the back of the stall, where fish were lying on tables as water slowly dripped from some unseen location – probably involving the ice in the crates. The comforting and pungent aroma of fish wafted throughout the room. After putting on a stained apron, he washed his hands and began whistling an old, half-forgotten nursery rhyme as he sharpened his knife. Reaching into a nearby crate, he pulled out one of the scaled beasts, and with a wet splat the fish was on the cutting board.
The first motion is easiest – removing the fins from the carcass, which he did with a series of easy cuts, though mindful of the fin barbs. After this, he secured the fish with one hand, and his knife moved smoothly through the belly of the fish from the anus up to beneath the jaw, the sound reminiscent of separating ribs. A series of soft squelches denoted the removal of the guts as he carefully reached into the cavity and pulled out the various entrails, rinsing out the cavity with a quick spray of water. Scraping commenced as a duller knife slowly pulled the scales away from the skin beneath in repeated motions, and a wet smack told of the flipping of the fish to do the same to the other side. 
He took up the fish, and moved over to the nearby sink, and he rinsed the meat briefly, making sure to clean inside the cut he had made before returning it to the cutting table. A strangely hollow sound echoes through the small chamber as the knife is thrust in beneath the head of the fish and drawn up towards the spine, and then, following the earlier cut from when he had gut it, slicing down again closer to the tail. Slowly the flesh is removed from the skeleton with a peeling noise similar to removing a band aide, though the closer he gets to the head the more he has to saw his arm. He grimaces slightly at the sound of the spine and ribs grating softly against the metal blade. Then, with a small, dull clatter mixed with another, smaller wet sound, the fish is flipped and the filleting recommenced.
The water ran from the tap once more, and he gave the filets one final wash before washing his own hands, whistling the old song all the while. After a moment, the cloth door swished again as a paper bag is crinkled in his hands, soon to be crushed in a pair of oversized pincers. The market is as loud as ever, and he is vaguely relieved to see Lillia has left.
“Here’s your fish, sir. That’ll be 40 credits.”
The customer looks disgruntled, or at least that’s what he thinks the buggy face looks like as a small pouch is pulled from the Exo’s collar. The equipment in the bag clinks loudly against the fee board, and after an artificial metallic bell sounded he smiled, glad to be that much closer to replacing his faulty translator.
But first things first – can’t have an income if no one comes to your stall. “Thank you, have a nice day! Please come again!”
