#either you move along or you support my delusions thats all there is to it!

[kenmaiii]

adding onto this a little with some KenBarbz splatoon AU headcanons since i realize no one can stop me (feel free to ask me abt the other characters in splatoonverse tho -w-):

difference in their playstyles is that Kenma gets real sweaty (ie plays way too competitively), meanwhile Barbs doesn't even try he's just really good without thinking about it at all

Kenma loves to charge in head first unfortunately.., so while she can hold her own she def has to be supported for acting recklessly

Kenma always goes into Salmon Run with random players hoping for the best. it rarely works out. especially during Big Run

Barbatos never does random games because at the first sign of disappointment he stops playing altogether. but he's always gonna do his best AND make it look effortless at the same time, but it's too much stress to constantly be covering everyone.

I can imagine Barbs going "Alright well, that is enough." after one two many rounds lost. he has more productive ways to spend his time!!!!!!!

if Kenma is forced to properly team up with three other people in Salmon Run her first picks are always Barbatos, Mammon and Levi

(besides being Kenma's bestie) Mammon to me just seems like the kind of guy to go in with high energy and do his best, even if he gets a bit too smug for his own good. His greed and willingness to show off has him bragging about collecting the most eggs (even tho its very much not likely). And he's just happy to earn some extra dough besides helping out! (he gets cornered by salmonids a lot unfortunately tho)

I don't know why but I feel like every time the rewards suck Mammon has to be talked out of complaining to Mr. Grizz. He definitely hordes eggs in one area for too long and spams 'this way' though.

Barbatos is very efficient with staying on task and not getting cornered often. He just seems like he'd be pretty good support! Just don't make him be the only one that has to carry everyone round after round! He won't comment on it outright or even very often, but he'd feel annoyed having to do so.

He's the guy that hears someone Booyah at the start of a round, pauses for a moment consideringly, then cheers back as means of encouragement. Don't spam it and get right to work on collecting though. If you spam it he's leaving you die for most of the round and leaving the lobby right after.

and Levi because I feel like he actually plays the game in Obey Me's canon? Like you go into his actual room I think he would genuinely be playing it.

I feel like it was alluded to before maybe.... but also he's just such a gamer. The guy owns a switch and Splatoon is very popular in JPN so I wouldn't put it past the devs (not saying the devildom takes place in japan, just giving a nod to where its creators are from and the influence there).

But yeah, AU Levi! I also think that he gets really sweaty in game so in this AU he'd just know what to do pretty well. Is the kind of guy to know what SR rotation it will be just by hearing audio cues. Or he'll have pretty good guesses as to where enemies might spawn. Knows all the secret tips and tricks like staying on the wall during Glowflies etc etc. He shows off for funsies sometimes

His weakness would probably just be occasionally getting overwhelmed by enemies if he focuses too much, or someone like Mammon accidentally leads too many things his way

When they all work together though! dream team!

Also I was chatting with someone awhile back I think that Barbs would be good at pretty much any weapon! mainly snipers tho

Mammon seems like a dualie squelcher weapon kinda guy but it was discussed that he might enjoy the slosher/bucket types! guys that roll into the water on accident tho

levi also seems very much like a sniper guy,, perhaps the scope. i just also feel like he'd learn the hardest, stupidest or most annoying weapons out of personal spite. get him the bamboozler and he will make it work somehow

power duo on one team, mortal enemies when they are against each other 🦑🐙
