Guys I think I'm getting that promotion

Anyways when you think your Smallfry is ugly as f*** it helps to give it a silly name & story. Therefore mine found me while I was illegally exploring Station Polaris for anthropological purposes (I specialize in human culture btw), and wouldn't leave me the shell alone, so I thought if a Smallfry goes through the trouble of crawling all the way to Inkopolis just for me and without biting my ankles even once, it has earned its stay. So now it's my unregistered roommate. Whom I named Sock. It's dumb as a brick and twice as throwable. I won't stop bullying it. (Smallfry Sock probably's going to do a better job than me in Hero Mode though gonna be honest)

Anyway

The Calamari Incantation was old magic. Only those who were versed in it could alter it. But...the magic of the Splatland Clans was old, too. Not as old, but old. It meshed, miraculously, with the magic of the Incantation in a way that was indescribable, in a way that should’ve been impossible. But it wasn’t, and their powers were compounding.

3B could only stare in awe as her friend, her sibling, was transformed by it. And as their eyes opened, huge, staring down at her, she recognized their expression. She knew it well. They were overwhelmed.

They were afraid. 

And all of a sudden, they both realized what was happening. The power gifted by magic older than anything...this wasn’t normal. This wasn’t just a power-up. This was...divine.

They were channeling the power of Cod itself. Because, if anyone could save the world from destruction, it would have to be a god.

Merry Squidmas from the New Squidbeak Splatoon!

God I spent a week doing this I'm not used to drawing with a pen and tablet, glad I managed to finish it. Here the individual images!

I got this idea from these two official Squid Sisters artworks + Adding Craig and the Cap.

For the Cap I was gonna use a reindeer but I thought that doesn't really make much sense in this wold. so I thought a brown Axolotl (And if you look closely the bag is just like Craig's/Cap's)

Just a small opinion thing on stuff i read people say about Side Orders story.

I think people vastly overexaggerate when they talk about Side Order's story, going as far to say that there is no story at all, which is simply not true.

While the story doesn't introduce any new concepts or offer shocking relevations, it odes touch on a bunch of smaller elements from the earlier games:

• We got information on what Agent 8 was up to in the time between S2 and S3

• The interactions between Pearl and Marina

• The introduction or Acht as an actual character

• Sn insight into Marinas past while living in the domes

• An actual explanation of Sanitization as well as Marinas efforts to find a way to help sanitized victims

Additionally it touches on Marinas fear of change and how she has overcome it in the time since the Final Fest by accepting it as a part of life.

I just think that people had higher expectations for the story, probably due to multiple factor. Octo Expansion had set the bar quite high, but the marketing also had a big role to play in this. The first teaser we got with its very abstract concept art has set an expectation for themes that were not delivered in the DLC, such as themes of cloning which were already teased with the Judds (and maybe with Marigold?). The time between anouncement and release fostered an atmosphere of wild speculation, which only created a set up for disappointment. While this issue is one that isnt exclusive to this case, it can't be overlooked.

While the DLCs story doesnt hit the same highs as OEs, to say that it doesnt have any story at all does it a disservice. Side Order revisits story beads and concepts from S2 and OE and ties up loose ends, similarly to Return of the Mammalians. In hindsight this makes sense as S3's role in regards to story seems to be the end of am era, to tie up loose ends and pave the way for new stoey lines in the future.

i hate the fact that we get basically no info on the fuzzy ooze. like aren’t all the fuzzy octarians walking around mammals now?? how can new agent 3 just touch the stuff and be fine?? i have so many questions and not a single one has been answered (side order please)

i've been seeing people saying side order is a copy of octo expansion pretty often and i don't understand that take at all? like off the hook is there i guess but side order is closer to splatoon 2's hero mode to me. unlocking a hero weapon in 2 required completing every stage with one weapon which is similar to how you aren't allowed to change palettes while climbing the spire of order. side order pulls off the idea of "go through this gauntlet without changing weapons" much better than 2's hero mode did, mostly because 1000%ing 2 is a self-imposed challenge instead of The Point Of The Mode, which means some of 2's stages suck bad without their intended weapon where side order's floors were designed to be completeable with any weapon
