what’s everyone’s least favorite kind of salmonid to deal with (including normal boss and king)

Uh.. I'm new here so.. I don't quite know all the names. [He laughs]

But I don't like those huge metal snakes with the little fish guy at the end. I feel like I'm always backed into a corner and then they splat me!

Oh, the Steel Eel? Yeah, that's a nasty one.

(Did you not read the manual?)

(There was a manual?!)

I hate those pesky Motherships! There are so many Salmonids flying around it makes my head spin.. And that's on top of our precious eggs getting stolen, too!

I think the Snatchers are..annoying to say the least. [She chuckles sheepishly]

I MADE AN ASK BLOG FOR MY SPLATOON OCS PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE THROW SMTH IN THE ASKS <333 @ask-the-krewe

[ouaw-facts-i-just-made-up]

Whenever the Krew settles down to actually hang up their adventuring days for good (or until something really funny happens), they each go get real actual jobs, if the carnival doesn't start back up that is.

Kremy opens his own restaurant. A casino would have been more fun but. Bad memories. Plus he really doesn't wanna be run out of this town, he *bought* a *house*. He's staying until it burns down, which is unfortunately likely when you live with a fire genasi. His restaurant is his little baby, much like the carnival (but much more legally done, to his dismay). It's actually quite popular.

Gideon likes doing more physical labor, and working with his hands. He briefly considered being a bodyguard for some uptight rich folk, but it felt like a slight betrayal to Kremy, as irrational as that is. He either lends a hand at a local farm or works at a machine/item repair shop. Who needs a dumb artificer when you have Gideon.

Gricko and Frost both start a little farm themselves. Nothing big, sort of like the kind you'd see in a backyard. They take odd jobs sometimes too, Gricko taking on the "help!! There's a big animal in a place we don't want them" jobs (mostly convincing the animal to move to a safer, less humanoid populated forest), and Frost does the ones that are more like your average "I need help repairing my item" or "can someone help me with my fucking taxes please I'm scared" jobs.

Torbek finds a job similar to Gideon's, though he mostly prefers the physical labor ones. Easier to learn, and he's used to helping with stuff around the carnival so he's great at it. He's just happy there's no possibility of falling off a really tall Ferris Wheel now

Hootsie gets to sit at home and chill. Preferably the home base is near a forest so she can go explore. Every once in a while she helps Gricko with his tasks, or helps Frost by being a rather large therapy dog for people who *really* hate taxes. She's enjoying life

Hey Parker (if I can ask anything from him in this series)

Do you ever have imaginary conversations in your mind where you can't control the outcome? Do you sometimes feel like this?

Yes. Occasionally.

So..can amab people be part of womanhood? From what you say, that doesn't seem to be your view. You think that if an amab ceases to be a man, they can only become a third gender (faggot, failed man) but a third gender defined by being a male at birth. Womanhood isn't accessible to them because it's socially constructed in an amab-exclusionary way. So "trans women are women" isn't socially true, right ?

But if that's not the case then how, why can amabs be women, but afabs can't be trans women?

gonna use hegelian "identity of identity and non-identity" because I read about it in a book recently. as a matter of fact I think trans women are women! I also think we're not. this is true of many, perhaps most, women. because we can speak of "woman" as an umbrella gender characterized by a particular adversarial and oppositional relationship to patriarchy, i.e. misogyny makes womanhood, and trans women are certainly this—or we can speak of "woman" as the essentialist ideal, the standards of which many women (e.g. the infertile post-menopausal woman) fail to meet. every woman is a woman and no woman is a woman, though the designated failure of the trans woman is particularly intense because we are precluded from performing the bulk of the peripheralized labour already reserved for women (there will also be intersections with racialization here).

I'm not a third-genderist about trans women, or whatever you might call it. I don't think that's a productive analysis. this is why I keep saying that trans womanhood constitutes an underclass of woman: woman by dint of being less than woman. woman is many genders as much as it is one gender. but if you think what happens materially to the "afab transfem" is at all in the neighbourhood of the material facts of transfemininity, your imagination is at an impressive remove from what the fuck is going on.

god but gideon really is just malcolm graves if graves met tf for the first time after he came out of prison so there wasn't the whole feeling of intense betrayal and psychosexually charged rage along with the homoerotic under/overtones huh

You don’t seem to get enough TLOK asks so let me say one: What would each krew member’s tiktok for you page be full of? (Including Wu, I consider Wu the late edition team avatar member like Zuko was for the gaang)

Ooo thanks anon, you’re right that I don’t get too many LoK asks lol. Also I totally agree that Wu is a late member addition of the Krew, as is Opal, with them both being significant others of original Krew members.

Hmmm okay let me think… so I’m honestly not a huge TikTok user - I check it maybe every 3-5 days just because I know I’m gonna be scrolling for a long time when I do check it lol. I’m also not super familiar with all the different types of algorithms and names for different corners of TikTok, so I apologize in advance 😅

- Korra: bodybuilding, sports, gaytok, politics/news (tho she probably wouldn’t like to see it bc she uses TikTok to distract from real life lol), cute dog videos

- Asami: mechanic stuff, science, makeup/hair tutorials, fashion, race car driving/motorcycle stuff, gaytok

- Mako: sports, true crime, gaytok, drag queen content (Wu got him into it)

- Bolin: cute animals, baking (idk why I just think he’d like it), sports, acting/musical theater

- Wu: cute animals, gaytok, drag queen content, musical theater, fashion

- Opal: leftist TikTok (she’s very passionate about social justice), fashion, makeup/hair tutorials, cute animals

I saw a post of yours from a while ago about the Legend of korra crew meeting the atla gaang (I love stuff like this so much) and I was thinking, how do you think they reacted to katara being a bloodbender? Like in Lok they all knew what it was and most were horrified when it came up. I think they would find it deeply upsetting the someone they know can do it and that they were only a child when she learned.

Hello, @1anxiousbeancrying !! Thanks for the ask!

I love the idea of Korra meeting the ATLA Gaang! That just has so much potential!

Hmmmm...

So, in canon Korra knows what bloodbending is. When Tarrlok bloodbends her, she knows it right away without him having to tell her. I imagine it was Katara who told her about bloodbending as she's the only one in the compound that had that kind of exposure to the sub technique. And we know that Katara outlawed it, meaning that she probably had to prove its existence/its existence become known to the outer world. Not to mention Yakone and the fact that all of the Gaang's kids would have been around by the time it was happening, a time when Katara probably would have thought about telling them.

Getting back to the question though, I think it would be different depending on who you're talking about? I can see Korra finding it interesting at first but then being scolded by Katara because it's also incredibly dangerous. From how she reacted to Tarrlok, I think it's safe to say Katara put a good fear of bloodbending in her. So, I imagine that, as a kid, Korra would find bloodbending kind of cool and want to know more but if she found out about what Katara went through in present time, she's a more sympathetic and concerned for her mentor. Asami, Bolin and Mako would probably have all found out about Katara bloodbending after season 1, so they get the full, traumatic version of it and they'd mostly be horrified (having experienced being bloodbended themselves) and also pretty comforting (for lack of a better word) towards Katara.

The Gaang's kids might be a little different. I imagine they would have heard the story of Hama as more of a ghost story Sokka uses to scare them when they were younger which stopped when Yakone came into being. I can also see Katara telling them during or after the trial (at least some of them). Following the very shaky timeline of Korra, Suyin is 2, Lin is 8, Tenzin is 9, Kya is 13, Bumi is 19, and Izumi is ???? when Yakone's trial is going on.

Minus Suyin, I think the Gaang would take this opportunity to tell them what bloodbending really is and why they know it's so dangerous. How the kids would react though would probably depend on the kid? Suyin probably doesn't understand what's going on, Lin is most likely scared (mostly for her mom though, she knows aunt Katara isn't dangerous), Tenzin is also probably scared but I think he'd be scared of his mom's power now (in his head, he knows his mom would never hurt him but hearing that she now has this kind of power does freak his out), Kya is more so concerned with her power abilities and if she could one day have such a horrifying power, Bumi is the most adult out of everyone so he probably has a similar reaction to the Krew in that he's more understanding about what his mom went through. I literally have no idea how Izumi would react.

this might be weird to say but uh

Had anyone else watch these shows?

First one Is Fright Krewe it on Hulu came out in 2023 and it still going, has two seasons and it about Soleil Le Claire and her friends. accidentally breaks a spell on the Tree of Life and unleashes an ancient evil. The spirit of Marie Laveau, the voodoo queen of New Orleans, puts her and four other kids in charge of saving the city from Belial, an ancient demon who feeds on fear.

Second Is daybreak it shows from Netflix 2019 and it about a high school outcast Josh is searching for his missing girlfriend in post-apocalyptic Glendale with no adults because they got turned into zombies, but teens did not. He's joined by a group of misfits Angelica and his former bully Wesley and on the way, they'll face many weird things. It had only one season before it canceled which sucks because it had an amazing but goofy plot , and I wish it got a second season.

Asks Open!

If you'd be so kind, leave a question in the inbox <3

I would love to hear any kind of questions or comments about my cephalopod blorbos. I don't care how stupid or how complex they might be.

At the moment, I'm unable to do digital art, so asks will be answered either with traditional art or just plain text. I also won't have a proper banner or icon for the same reason. If I get the money, I might commission someone to make the art instead.

For right now, it will mostly be text, but images may be added later!

Before Gideon met Kremy, he had to work himself to exhaustion to avoid getting nightmares of the habgoblins and the train. If he didn’t, he would wake up in cold (as cold as he can get at least) sweat and breathing heavily more often than not

Even after he met Kremy and started doing better physically, he would still have to find exhausting work to do. Of course, this started to make Kremy worry, and he tried to make Gideon drop the habit. But after a week or more of sleepless nights from the nightmares, Gideon’s sleep deprived state proved to be worse than the latter.

It took him a long time to stop working himself to sleep, several years in fact. Nowadays he hardly ever has these nightmares, partially due to his better lifestyle, and partially to sleeping next to the Krew

😭 poor guy.

I can't understand though, probably hard to go to sleep even aside from the nightmares, just because he was always being drained of his power constantly so he'd pass out from exhaustion randomly rather than wanting to go to sleep at any given time (makes me wonder how he felt when he got some of his fire taken away ? Probably didn't bring good memories)
