#I’m just hyperfixating super hard on all of this loreeeee

[tunabunk]

Random lore bit for today:

• Never realized, but Marina and Octavio are truly father and daughter:

>> Lemme explain:

1. Their love for danger and chaos:

Just like Marina had entered into a dangerous relationship with Sean…

Octavio, too, had done the same with his inkling lover:

>> Just as Marina had also wanted freedom away from the confines of the army, Octavio had essentially done the same thing with Mya. Although, he eventually slipped back into his cold and callous ways, and Mya’s fate was sealed… Meanwhile, the opposite was true for Marina in the end.

>> Marina herself didn’t even KNOW Octavio was her biological father, having assumed that her father had died or ran away when Mya had her and Marianna. Of course, she’d be horrified to learn the truth eventually…

(EAT THE LORE UP, NOW).

Random Lore-Bits:

Been holding onto these few ideas for a while now, so imma spam chat these onto my blog for safe keeping.

#1 Craig and Octavio’s generation:

• Unlike in canon, where they’re 100 years OLD (and are essentially veterans of the OG Great Turf Wars), they’re actually the second generation of their given sides of the decades old Wars. In fact, their fathers were the OG generals/leaders of the inklings and the Octolings.

>> Even when the inklings side lost during the war, the original captain of the inklings’ side of the war taught Craig that they should become pacifists (hence, why Craig was able to let go of the past, and have a healthier relationship with the Octolings).

>> Of course, with Octavio, since his side had won the wars years ago. He’s taken to heart his father’s/the former ‘DJ King’ ways on segregation between the inklings and Octolings. I would say in this AU he’s even more cruel, more so than he is in canon (it’s still that same motivation where he thinks he’s doing the right thing for his people, but ultimately, his actions hurts everyone on both sides).

#2 What If…

• Instead of Marina ultimately sacrificing herself to save both Sean and Pearl from the army, it was HER who managed to escape alive? But Sean was to perish.

>> Or, as @nipotazzi suggested another Alt. Marina WAS there to raise Pearl, but they were still stuck together in the Army. Honestly, that would be rough for BOTH of them 😭 (Poor Marina wouldn’t be able to show her own daughter any compassion, maybe the Octolings would go as far as to scold Pearl for even calling her ‘mom’ at all).

>> Another alt. I had for this idea was if Marina managed to escape all on her own away from the army, and found her way to the Splatlands plaza. Where she would reunite with her adoptive family (the Cuttlefishes).

• Either way, I likey both of these scenarios (yet, RIP Sean 💀- at least we might get to see GHOST SEAN- GHOST SEAN-)

#3 Shoreline’s characterization:

• NGL, I’m sort of bored with how I haven’t really explored Shore or Big Man’s characters. For me, they currently feel like 1D side characters. First I’m exploring Shoreline’s character:

• Unlike in the original AU, where Shoreline was basically a jerk, he’s more cheery. However, it’s more like a ‘front’ he puts up sometimes.

>> Just like me… He‘s super kind and caring, but, all at the expense of his own wellbeing. In a little side story I wrote, it explores how he actually has a hard time in socializing (aghhh so like me 😭), but that he pretends to be super happy and cheerful around others. I wanna write his and Pearl’s friendship around the fact that Shoreline doesn’t need to put up a front around Pearl, he can just be more of his ‘true’ self around her.

(Welp, that’s all I got for now. Enjoy my insane ramblings of the insane lore I’ve created lololol 🤪)

(BTW I love Ash- he’s actually me fr fr-) Me after I spent an hour formatting and splurging about all of this-

(Part 2):

Here’s some comics I made on some random Bluey moments (RAGHHH I GOTTA BE ABLE TO POST THE AUDIOS SOMEHOW-)

I swear- Bandit and Chili’s voices actually fit so damn well for Sheldon and Marie. Anyways-

Here’s another comic based off of the pilot (Bandit was a wild one for that one- glad that we got a better and FINAL version of him):

Annnnnnd here are some comics that helped me to develop the ‘Reverse Genetics’ lore:

Yep! Posted these a while ago, but these were only for the San AU at the time.

(Cont. on part 3)

So uh- I got this Bluey x Splatoon AU:

SAN!

Basically:

• It’s an AU AU AU AU x million where:

>> Literally the Great Turf Wars had ended in peace! Meaning, BOTH inklings and octolings had already ended the war without the Octolings needing to live underground, whilst the inklings thrived on the surface.

>> All of the hero campaign and the DLC enemies don’t even exist, or bring any substantial threat to the world (just average an average world, like in Bluey).

If I think about it, this could be the super happy and upbeat AU in contrast to OOAC- like literally, no suffering from any tyrannical war force-

• The main focus would have been on San (agent 3) and her family! Ngl, the Heelers and Cuttlefishes are so alike 💙💚✨

(Bonus images and doodles)

(Part 1 of explaining this AU)

ONG ONG- new new idea for the ‘What if Marina survived?’ Scenario.

> I’ve been meaning to explore this in the older AU, but with how little the Great Turf Wars really are explored in canon surprisingly (as in… How are past Octoling troopers like Marina coping post going AWOL? Idk if that’s been explored in the canon, I might be wrong. Lemme know if I am, I’m curious 🤔). It would be interesting to see how Marina’s lil’ Pearl would be heavily affected by learning about this information… Originally, there was a scene in the old AU where Pearl discovered some of the sunken scrolls on the Great Turf Wars (or maybe some of Marina’s old manuals and whatnot from her army training), which makes her afraid of being around Marina…

(Old AU images for context)

> Marie would have also been affected originally after learning that her second daughter was born as an octoling. Both mothers would have never let their daughters know about the past of the Great Turf Wars, not wanting to scare them or accidentally make them question their own existence possibly.

Something that just adds more to the lore of the AU ☝️💡
