“Little Killer…”

The Gladiatrix from ARK: The Animated Series! She was such an awesome character and I can’t wait to see more of her in the future!

They did not need to make the Fragmented Depiction That Heavily Implies That Little Girl Got SHOT look this cinematic but i am extremely glad they did.

As awesome as it is heartbreaking HERE WE ARE GUYS!!!

EGGMAN SLAPPING HIS OWN LOGO OVER THE GUN EMBLEM IS HILARIOUS, BUT I NEED YA’LL TO TALK MORE ABOUT THE DRIED BLOODSTAINS ON GERALD’S JOURNAL! IT’S HARD TO SEE SINCE THE OUTER LAYER IS BLACK, BUT IT’S THERE! YOU CAN NEVER TELL ME THAT THIS THING WASN’T PRESENT DURING THE SCENE OF “THE INCIDENT.” I AM NOT CRAZY!

people gotta stop talking about how it’s actually totally okay and fine if amy isn’t in this movie because she wouldn’t have anything to add/because it’s about shadow anyway/whatever.

does this scene mean nothing to you

thoughts on bonerattle arena

I'm working on a video going over the Splatoon story, and trying to nail down a solid time when the Ark Polaris crashed into earth. Log.exe is frustratingly really vague about it, and I was wondering if some specific wording might have been changed in translation/localization, and maybe the original Japanese text is a little bit clearer?

Here is my retranslation of Log.exe. I made this because there are a few differences between localization and JP! ... Some annoying differences at that LOL

From how i understand it, the ark Polaris had a more distant, stable orbit around earth for 10000 years. Over the span of the next 2000 years after that, the Polaris slowly gets closer and closer to earth until earth's gravity takes it in. Thus the Ark Polaris crashes to earth after 12000 years, so around the modern day in the splatoon world.

I dont think we'll get an exact time be it if it crashed, whether it was shortly before Splatoon 2 era, splatoon 1 era, or even years before that. The way i see it, that rough 12000 years= most likey sometime in the 2010s mollusk era considering the time Splatoon the Game was released. Or some time after the year 2000 of the mollusk era if we wanna be lenient when working with such a large time scale

... im honestly fine with the exact crash time being uncertain because it gives room for me to imagine it took some years for grizz to properly go insane, and for grizzco to be established and get a foothold in the inkling world... rather than if the ship were confirmed to have crashed in say, 2017, and everything happening in a few months. That's just me though.

omg the whole scene where Chook goes to visit Ca$h in jail is SO,,, like Chook forgiving C$h after literally getting a bunch of other eshays that Chook presumably likes (seeing as he hangs around with them so often) and almost getting Chook himself locked up is so crazy. I wanna learn more about their history because Chook goes so far as calling Ca$h family even after all he did and that is so interesting because it must mean that they have been through a lot of shit together. It's also kinda implied that Chook feels protective of Ca$h (even if his 'protectiveness' may really be the need to have power over him cough cough) from what we see in the boat scene and others.

Like imagine being Ca$h, this guy who you've known basically your whole life and have looked up to in some ways starts showing his worst side and you're forced to realise how fucked you're whole relationship has been. On top of that, most of the people around you don't understand how difficult it is to lose such a big part of your childhood (even if it was a really shitty part looking back) and then lose the protection you had while being 'Chooks kid' to try and move on and be free of who people though you should be. I get why the other characters would think dropping Chook and the other eshays would be a piece of cake because they don't really know anything about Ca$h's life with them but as a viewer, it's so sad to see Ca$h struggle and not even be able to talk to anyone about it without looking like he was fine with everything Chook and the others did.

Honestly, I could go on about Ca$h and Chook for so long and maybe I will later but I'll end my rambling here.
