Someone's a little grumpy. You get that from your old man?

It was the deathly stillness within his frame that alerted Mariko that something was wrong. It was just something she knew that shouldn't be uttered within his presence. 

And her fear was confirmed as she saw him lunge.

“Please don’t!” She exclaimed. She blocked his path, narrowly stopping his jaws from snapping down on the Pokémon as her Psychic took on a rope to snake itself around his maw. The intense glow in his eyes shook her before she was quick to recover. 

Obscuring the Pokemon from his view, she made a soothing sound in the back of her throat to pacify him. It seemed to work, the glow retreating but he still bore holes through her, to the newcomer. 

“Leave." Came his voice. Loud, oppressive. "This is your only warning.”

SPLATOON Predictions!!

New weapon predictions!!

I am not qualified!!

Chill season got 3 new weapons: Nova, Big Swig, and Snipewriter.

The common thread? All of them were an ungodly hybrid of each weapon classes' (Shooters, Rollers, Chargers) lightweight/shortest-range and heavyweight/longest-range weapon. See evidence. Children and their parents.

Splattershot Nova

Same damage as Aerospray (5 hits to Splat), coupled with its high rate of fire and a noticeable spread (not very accurate)

Jet Squelcher tones down some of the aerospray features and gives it a good long range

Big Swig Roller

Carbon Roller's rapid swing, fast run and low damage

Dynamo-like ink coverage in wide roll and swing

Snipewriter 5-H

Bamboozler is a two hit charger with rapid fire

E-liter's massive charge time and long range

I imagine some (but probably not all) new weapons this fresh season (2023) will follow the same philosophy.

:O

Here's me spitballing some possible candidates:

Sloshers Bloblobber and Tri-slosher

This slosher will have three paths of blobs. Each path will have fewer blobs (less than 4) and be a shorter range than Bloblobber.

Splatlings Hydra and Mini-Splatling

This splatling will have a long charge time, but will have a medium range and a very high mobility as it fires. Like it will run at you as it fires type speed. It does not store charge. It probably wouldn't be able to recharge halfway-through unloading like Nautilus or Ballpoint do.

Blasters Rapid Blaster Pro and Clash Blaster

It has the rapid fire from Clash with a range from Rapid-Pro. Both aspects will probably be less than the parents. Damage may be reduced some, with at least a 4-indirect splat, if not 5. No one is happy with this weapon.

It's not out of the question, but a lot of the other weapon classes just don't have enough variety to make a hybrid of the heavyweight and lightweight; they just need more weapons in those classes to begin with. I don't think I could make a feasible prediction for those classes using this weapon design philosophy from the Chill Season.

I also think my hypotheticals above hold merit because the Chill Season update's weapons were the original classes in Splatoon 1. Fresh Season may follow chronologically with the Splatlings, Sloshers, or Blasters, since those arrived with Splatoon 1 updates. That being said, I doubt that the new weapons this season will all be from those classes, probably just one or two.

I'm deadass curious to what other people think the new weapons could be? Tell me?? In the comments??? Please????

Equating special interests with "fun" and nostalgia is giving off big, "I'm an NT who's oblivious to their own privilege and sees equal rights in this one area as at best negligence and, at worst, directly, intentionally harmful," vibes, and that's high-key not cool (maybe I'm wrong on the NT front. Sorry for misreading if so). Either way I'm sure it's not intentionally harmful on your part, either. And it's not like protecting this stuff is good, EITHER. But singling out NDs as though the lesser controlled aspects of their divergency are so terrible? Ugh. Not cool. Thankfully I'm not so disposed, in any case, so that's one fewer internal battles being fought on my front.

I'd lean more into believing that we as NDs and disabled folks are one-step from being in the same position as we as queer folks, and we may as well lump all of us together and protect each other without any discrimination between the lot of us. It's always a matter of time before they come for the next bunch of minorities, if they haven't already, so we may as well get ahead of the curve. Sigh.

I hope that didn't sound too ranty. Not meant to be anything but honest, and pointing out a roadblock of disunity.

Anyway. I'm deeply horrified this is happening. It's getting worse, and it's especially scary because it's not just here in America. It's scary because one fewer place to run and, in fact, one additional place empowering our self-proclaimed enemy, is just a truly abysmal place to start.

I'm fully out as queer, trans, disabled, chronically and mentally ill. It's all on paper I no longer own. If things continue at this rate here as they are both here and there, I am very concerned for myself (and by extension all in similar positions of danger from this movement, obv).

Aside from sharing the sentiments espoused herein, I wish you all very good and healthful days to come, and wish us well all around. Hopefully it will. Not come to more dire times at others' hands. Hopefully it will fizzle out. Self-resolve.

Hopefully.

She ain't even subtle anymore lmao

Picture a sculptor.

He sculpts an animal... and it was meant to be an elephant for a kids zoo, but because of the limits of his tools at the time, he stopped at the skeleton only.

And it's a great fucking skeleton! It's got that old feel to it, like a Rodin sculpture, but with a modern vibe.

The skeleton even has fans and stuff, and the fans go "we love this badass mammoth skeleton you sculpted!"

And this sort of bothers the sculptor. Because he was going for an elephant, not a mammoth, right?

So when he finally has the right tools, he completes the sculpture, so the next generation of fans can enjoy the elephant...

... and the previous generation of fans, who grew up reading and dreaming about a mammoth for 30 years, they go "wtf". They hate it.

Now, the sculptor takes on an apprentice, who is also a fan.

The apprentice learns the technique, learns how to look at the clay, how to get the right texture... and is able to do all this without going "wtf" because he looks at this elephant sculpture through an anti-establishment lens.

"Yes, it has shorter tusks and almost no hair, but the purpose of the sculpture is to say that it should be hairier, taller and with longer tusks. The whole point is that this elephant is failing to be the mammoth it's meant to be!"

And y'know, it's art! If that’s what this elephant means to him, great.

But once the tools are passed down to him, the apprentice (along with other sculptors) takes some clay and makes the tusks longer, adds some fur, shortens the ears, etc.

Overtime, he makes it a mammoth again.

Of course, most fans are happy again, including many who were introduced to the elephant as kids, because the transition was a slow one, done carefully.

And, hey, it's a nice mammoth!

My only issue is that I grew up loving the elephant, just as it was. I think the elephant was friggin’ great.

But nowadays, whenever the elephant is brought up, it's always through the lens of "it's failing to be a mammoth" rather than what the sculptor said it's supposed to be: just an elephant.

ummmmmmmm... what THE HELL was that? 😒

I know it's on me for looking too many comments and reviews about my favorite shows but do you guys ever feel like people just don't know how to like something anymore? Especially when it comes to tv-shows. It's like everyone's so ready to tear something apart, to be disappointed, to be proven right that a show is terrible like they thought it would be. I'm not talking about constructive criticism nor am I talking about being fairly disappointed over something but not only people love being negative but if you dare say that you love a show they all dislike you have to apologize because how dare you? And if you tell them to stop with the negativity because you just WANT TO ENJOY A MFUCKING TV SHOW when everything in this world is shit, they'll tell you you're censoring their opinions. Like it's not that deep please for the love of god, just let people enjoy things, if you don't like something THAT'S FINE but you don't have to make long essays explaining why and not let other people who do like it, enjoy it.
