I can’t believe the Grand Festival is over. I’m teary eyed right now. Despite being the longest Splatfest ever, it ended much too quickly. I can’t believe Splatoon 3 is over already. It felt like not so long ago that we were saying goodbye to Splatoon 2. How is Splatoon 3 over already?

I first started playing Splatoon 2 in 2018. The Switch was my first console. And Splatoon was the only reason I got it. So Splatoon 2 is really the game that kickstarted my gaming hobby. I remember sucking back then, and having trouble with some hero mode levels and especially Octo Expansion. But I still had so much fun. Unfortunately I was burnt out by the Final Fest. I was rooting for Order though. And I got to play the Splatfests afterwards.

I picked up Splatoon 3 on the day it released. I tried to play Turf War, but a power outage forced me to play the story mode instead. I played all of those first Splatfests with gusto. I 100% the story mode quickly too. Maxed out all the catalogs. But then the first Big Run happened. And I don’t know why, but shortly after that, I stopped playing. Until last month. I heard the Grand Festival was happening, and I knew I had to play it. So I jumped back in. I played a bunch of Turf War and Anarchy Battles, and I bought Side Order and finished that. I also played a bunch of the Big Run that happened recently. And I even went back and finally completed all the levels in Octo Expansion! Except Inner Agent 3…I’m not touching that with a ten foot pole, haha.

And then there I was. Playing the Grand Festival. My performance was…not good. I even got to an 18-30 record at some point. And yes, there was crying involved. But I managed to beat two 100x battles! And I had fun. Near the end of the Splatfest, I got a 5 winning streak, which was pretty good. Unfortunately, that didn’t last. But the very last battle of the Splatfest was a 10x battle. And I won it. I managed to get almost 700,000 Turf War clout, and about 300,000 Tricolor clout. My final rank was Ruler+5, although I was so close to 6!

When I finished my final battle, I felt numb. But then I saw that there were more performances at the festival venue. So I watched Deep Cut’s. Then Off The Hook’s. And finally the Squid Sister’s. I just narrowly avoided crying, I felt so emotional. At that point I just had to turn the game off because I couldn’t handle it anymore.

I do wish I had watched the performances throughout the festival a bit more. But oh well, people will definitely upload those to YouTube. I was proud to battle for Team Future. I recognize that we’re probably not going to win. I want us to, but it’s unlikely. And that’s okay. I know no matter what team wins, Splatoon 4 will be great. I trust Nintendo. And I thank them for making these games that have positively affected my life so much.

Super Meme Gaurdian: Paper Jam (a summary)

((Long post ahead because i'll be rambling so be warned))

What exactly is SMG: PJ? or SMGPJ

Short answer: a rewrite au bron from several hyperfixations and my insanity

long answer:

SMG: PJ is an au where several things in lore are changed, some stories are adjusted and new ones are created

in this au aspects of Splatoon's lore is more loyal as seen with the fact Meggy is Captain of the Squid Beak Splatoon and was the first Agent 3, the Splatoon Manga is also apart of the world of SMG4 as shown with Goggles and Rider being Agent 4 and 4.5 respectively and the events of the Paper Mario series are VERY much relevant with a new arc appearing named the Paper Jam arc where Mario and his old and new friends team up to stop a new evil from stealing an ancient powerful treasure capable of granting any wish among other changes

other changes include Desti surviving being stabbed but being crippled as a result of it, now needing to use crutches just so she can move

Axol also living but needing a cybernetic body because of the sheer amount of corruption zero put his original body through

the anime arc being renamed the Anime Metro arc which is just a combination of Octo Expansion and Anime island and instead of Peach banning anime, the NSS are put in an urgent new mission to find out why so many inklings have gone missing including Meggy and Marie, and Francis and Tartar teaming up

Meggy is Agent 3/Captain 3, Goggles is Agent 4, Braids is Neo Agent 3, Rider is Agent 4.5, Desti is Agent and Hachi is Agent 8.5

Hachi is Desti's little brother

the events of the Splatoon Manga's version of OE are a continuation of Post-Anime Metro because Desti may have gotten amnesia during her debut

Meggy essentially got adopted by the Cuttlefishes when she was 14 and combine that with the fact Mario and her are practically siblings Meggy technically has 4 older siblings, all of whom are annoying as fuck but she loves them

yes, Meggy's hygiene is absolute shit

yes, Meggy was sanitised and now has chronic head aches that flare up if she pushes herself too far in a fight so she has to be really careful or forgo fights all together

Meggy is Team Blue's coach after Goggles asked her to help them out a bit as a favour, now she's attached to these idiots, but then again her brother is Mario and he's a dumbass so Meggy might just have some kind of idiot magnet at this point

A version of the events of Meta Runner will be involved in this continuity but i haven't really watched the series yet so that's up in the air

Mario's Partners from TTYD and the Glitchy Gang actually get along really well, Meggy and Mini-Yoshi (whose named is Giusseppe) get along like a house on fire (the aunt and nephew duo of all time), SMG4 is dragged around with Miss Mouz to do god knows what, Koops and Boopkins both like anime and get along fine, Goombella and Tari actually found an unexpected friendship with eachother, shockingly Bob and Vivian are really close (trans solidarity it seems), Flurrie gets along well with Melony surprisingly and SMG3 follows Bobbery like a loss duckling, much to the veteran's annoyance

Yes, Meggy had a bit of a stroke when she saw the amount of flirting Maryo's autisitic rizz got him into, it's fine though luigi helped her cope

Meggy hates Wireglasses with a passion

yes meggy gets dragged into Team Blue's adventures and shenanigans because she's there coach!

Meggy took a few weeks (instead of 2 days) to deal with her trauma from Western Spaghetti, meanwhile Marie and Callie blew up a museum a little bit to destroy a statue

yes there will be ships galore this is my au i can do what i want

speaking of which

Saiko/Tari/Meggy/Desti

yes, Pearlina are Hachi and Desti's parents, i will die on this hill

I'll add more to this post later for now enjoy my insane rambling

i just added more family dynamics and coherent storylines into SMG4, and a SHIT ton of headcanons and gayness
