TIRED OF WAITIN’ MAKE UP YOUR DAMN MIND

YEAH ITS ALRIGHT, WE BOTH KNOW THAT YOU WANT IT, DONT YOU BE SO SHY, SHY!

OH MY GOD I LOVE STARKILLER WIDNEKD. I had this idea for Tartar manipulating 3 with words similar to the song…

more abt that below + the piece without the words :]

I wonder if 3, at that point in OE, carry a thought within them... something Tartar can use.

The sanitization is absolute mind control, yes, but it would be neat if it was preceded by a sort of hypnosis; a suggestion that tartar puts out for a victim to bite onto (not that it really matters. The forced body control happens anyway.)

Theres a yearning for the past. That much I know. But I do wonder if Tartar also suggested something else alongside that.

"Ah, the legendary captain of the Squidbeak Splatoon. He probably was the one who pulled you out of that life, hm?"

"...Yes."

"Despicable, this old coot, forcing you to fight a war that ended a century ago. Forcing you to dig up a city your nation already buried.

Making you a weapon in this...disgusting show of continued dominance."

"..."

"Dont you want to end him, right here, right now?"

"...."

"Avenge that younger self, child. Join me, and we will make sure he never hurts you again."

"..."

They look at Cuttlefish. Cod, theyre so weak, their head hurts, they are in no shape to defend themself. Neither is the old man, but...

Their hearts were burning with a feeling theyve been burying for years. A feeling thats gotten stronger and stronger over the long patrol.

This...doubt. Towards the captain they followed the ends of the earth for. Day by day, being pushed to their limits for his continued war. Wanting his approval, wanting to make him proud. Believing that theyre indeed keeping this fragile world safe.

Wanting to...keep being this hero he said they were.

But its getting harder to believe those words now. Not when that Octarian from earlier was such a sweet soul...among others theyve encountered and observed in other patrols.

Their arm burned. It was drenched in that cyan ink the telephone was oozing.

They have no reason to trust this thing that almost killed Cuttlefish and that Octarian that he was with moments before.

Still...

They feel...

Their mind is slipping.

So tired...so hurt...

"Join me. I can give you rest.

Ill bring you...to the promised land."

"...Okay."

--------

They went fully unconscious for awhile. When they "awoke" (but is still under Tartar's control), they were already fighting 8. And their body hurt even more than before.

They never shouldve trusted him.....

--------

This baiting rings familiar, doesnt it. Order did it to 4, as well. Much to 3s horror, they were the reason she took that bait. Her desire to be their perfect agent, and their desire to never be hurt or used by anyone like Cuttlefish again...

They wanted her to be strong enough so she can stay safe and live her life the way she wanted to. But their fear spoke louder than their adoration for her.

Hurt people hurt people, cycle of violence, and all that.

Edit: Late happy 8/3/24 I missed the once in a century Fem/enby yuri day... fucking amazing.

[maahtigor]

Guys, I beg of you to read this fanfiction as if my life depended on it. It's so fucking amazing.

Blood Pearl Of The Sea has been my favorite fanfic since twenty fucking twenty two and every time I reread it the plot gets better 😭 if I was to summarize it, imagine if someone made heterosexual women shoujo yaoi into a straight wattpad ao3 fanfiction and put a confused lesbian as the female lead. And then shoved vampires into it. And sprinkled it with the essence of the Holy Spirit. AND IT'S GOT PEARLINA TOO AUHRHRHRHRGRHG💔💔💔💔💔

And it EVEN HAS ITS OWN BLOG TOO. LIKE WHAT THE FUCK PEOPLe, THE AUTHOR NOT ONLY MAKES ILLUSTRATIONS FOR EVERY OTHER CHAPTER BUT ALSO MAKES A WHOLE ASS BLOG FOR IT????????? ALSO. It's both in AO3 AND IN WATTPAD

LORD BLESS @killartzzz FOR WRITING THIS BOOK also guys go check va profile vamp art is awesome

[crazysnor1ax]

@possiblycringe @very-very-dizzy @k40su HEHEHEHE OKAY >:3

So! To prevent myself from infodumping too much keep this post somewhat short I can talk about the story goin' on. Know that I'm still working on it, so there's a chance things could change in the future.

Generally it follows the same as canon, but it starts with Azure (Agent 3/Captain 3), Callie and Marie all being werekrakens. All of them were born werekrakens too. Marie started turning around age 5-6, Azure around 9-10, and Callie doesn't start changing until the events of this AU (aka HELLA late).

Things don't really kick off until Azure's gf and roommate, Mist (Agent 8) accidentally finds out about Azure being a werekraken after she fails to make it to the Squid Sisters' place to spend that full moon. Fortunately Azure and Mist are close enough for Azure to still recognize Mist in their kraken state and not feel threatened by her, so things are all good. Mist is then taken to the Squid Sisters' place and educated on all things werekraken, and from there kinda becomes the krakens' caretaker/babysitter every full moon (especially after Callie starts changing, since Cal normally looked after everyone primarily).

Shit really hits the fan when Off the Hook figures out what Callie and Marie are. Marina was semi-forcefully made into a werekraken in the Octarian Army, being told that being turned would only enhance her strength and allow her to better serve the Army. Spoiler alert: it didn't entirely and caused Marina to be under intense stress every time she turned or made herself turn for medical checkups and whatnot to be done on her. In this AU krakens get stressed/scared easily and retaliate when threatened (hence the folktales about them being violent beasts), so you can imagine what happened. Because of her status as a werekraken Marina catches onto the Squid Sisters rescheduling performances and taking full moons off, and wants to reach out to them for help.

Long story short, what ends up happening is Off the Hook getting the Squid Sisters, Azure, and Mist at Pearl's place for a full moon and it goes much better than Marina anticipated (who doesn't understand how skiddish krakens are and only understands her affliction to be a violent "curse" of sorts) and the NSS agrees to educate Marina on herself, help her regulate her kraken, and let her safely and comfortably embrace it. Pearl is especially happy for Marina, who's seen how her kraken is and has always believed werekrakens aren't violent.

Time passes, full moons happen, eventually Callie finally starts transforming. It's a lot for her. Despite waiting for years for her to transform and knowing all she does about herself and werekrakens in general, her strengthened senses and instincts after transforming are extremely stressful for her. Essentially-Callie gets a smaller "plot" about accepting herself and managing her own kraken (which may or may not be even more stronger than a regular kraken as a result of her brainwashing years prior, jury's still out on that).

Time once again passes and another long story short, one particular full moon goes wrong and Shiver and Neo Agent 3 (named Sting) get turned by Marina and Callie, respectively. Now there's more people to keep watch on as they adjust to their new krakens and keeping the secret! Sting especially needs to be kept on close watch, since xey're way too excited about being turned and even let xemself get attacked so xey could be turned. The NSS is fairly certain Shiver can regulate her kraken with enough training, but they're not sure about Sting.

I imagine there's also some other "plot points" about finding a werekraken "cure" and how Callie, Marie, and Azure react to that? But not sure yet. Again, still working on things.

Overall tho, it's mostly just a werewolf AU about being keeping the secret and living life as creatures of sorts :3

Something about the Grand Festival

That Grand Festival was wild and beyond any expectation I had for the game. Playing, I remembered playing the story mode of Splatoon 1 on emulator. I remembered getting my hands on a Switch finally, and playing Splatoon for the first time with Splatoon 2, and becoming a Salmon Run try harder. I remembered being sad I missed the splatfests and could only play a few reruns. I remember the fun of playing the Octo Expansion. I remember the hype when the game was announced, the mind blow when Deep Cut was revealed for the first time ever with Anarchy Rainbow. I remember all the wonderful fanarts and OC. I remember the theories, the good times and the people I met via a discord server. I don't talk to them much but I love playing with them. I'm glad I could play with my bestie and I hope we could play more together. I remember the first Big Run.

Splatoon is such a big part of my life, since the first game it became an instant special interest and hyperfixation. What drew me in first was the songs, especially Calamary Inkantation. I was glad I could jump on in for the 2nd game, and on time for the 3rd one. I did cry during this Splatfest and I never took that many screenshots and recordings of a single in-game event ever. Not even in Splatoon itself.

I will cherish forever this moment, these live versions we got for the concerts, the new song, the mega mashup rave vibe song (Rainbow Color Inkantation), the main stage's tent burning, everything. This event was a love letter to the license, to the players, the songs. It was beautiful.

Thank you Splatoon 3.

rereading the mr grizz inkipedia page like and crying everytime like a normal fan. like a normal fan would.
