#hi. I made a Splatoon blog

[tfsroleplay]

"...I just witnessed something that made me realize I will never be as cool as some people. This guy was being pulled along on a skateboard by a little Zapfish and they were basically speeding down the road... I will never be as cool as the two of them..."

[dr-spectre]

I saw this really great thread on twitter by Grungygrim and it definitely highlights my thoughts and frustrations with the story of these games and the Splatoon fandom as a whole. (be forewarned, i get really tilted in this blog post fyi.)

I made a blog post about 2 weeks ago where i said that i was happy that the narrative online that "Callie is an idiot who got kidnapped and then brainwashed/mind controlled against her consent" is going away. (Here's the link: https://www.tumblr.com/dr-spectre/749710338672525312/im-so-happy-that-the-narrative-online-that?source=share)

Unfortunately I'm gonna have to retract a lot of the stuff i said. I'm still seeing, TILL THIS DAY THAT NARRATIVE ONLINE! IM STILL SEEING SO MUCH MISINFORMATION AND IT MAKES ME REALLYYYY ANGRYYYY!!! As a big fan of Callie, people completely outright ignoring her character arc THAT WAS SET UP SINCE SPLATOON 1 BY THE WAY!!! and not even bothering to look at outside sources for more information and lore genuinely pisses me the fuck off to no end.

No, hypnosis is NOT MIND CONTROL/BRAINWASHING! I DONT WANNA KEEP REPEATING IT! YOU CAN LOOK IT UP! if a person is genuinely uncomfortable and doesn't wish to take the suggestions to heart while hypnotized, THEY WONT DO SO! THEY STILL HAVE CONTROL! Yes, Marie did say "kidnapped" in some of her dialogue, but from her perspective, OF COURSE SHE'S GONNA THINK CALLIE GOT KIDNAPPED! She's known to worry about Callie all the time and ruminate about her, of course she's gonna think of the worst case scenario, doesn't mean she's right though. Was Octavio still in the wrong for hypnotizing Callie in the first place and allowing her to bring out her darker traits more easily? YEAH! NO SHIT! HE'S A BAD DUDE! Not a totally evil person but he has made some awful decisions out of desperation for his people. Why do you think he was so quick to help out the New Squidbeak Splatoon in the finale of Splatoon 3? His people got turned into fluffy monsters by a giant bear, he's all about helping his people.

Hell look at how Callie acts while under the Hypnoshades, she decorates Octo Canyon and her peppy and energetic self is still in tact even during the final boss, she's just more mean and violent. Callie was in an emotional and mentally unwell situation due to her overworking herself and being incredibly lonely as her relationship with Marie was damaged overtime. Callie accepted the suggestions of DJ Octavio and heard him out, AS SAID BY HER FROM THE RELATIONSHIP CHART! She wasn't forced into anything. She didn't suffer "sexual abuse" from Octavio by being forced into skippy clothing as some psychos say online, if she didn't want to wear that outfit she wouldn't cause hypnosis is NOT MIND CONTROL!! I hate having to repeat this over and over again, i hate how the developers basically rushed and ruined this interesting villain arc with stupid shades, only to try and hastily fix it later with an obscure post about A GOD DAMN RELATIONSHIP CHART THAT PEOPLE EITHER DONT KNOW ABOUT OR DONT CARE TO LOOK AT BECAUSE THEY SEE SPLATOON AS SOMETHING FOR KIDS AND TO NOT GIVE ANY CARE TOWARDS!!!!!!!!

I made a god damn giant blog explaining Callie in Splatoon 2 because i felt so frustrated about how my favorite character in the series was being treated and i tried to salvage the story that the writers tried to make. The way that people made her situation worse by saying she got kidnapped and forcibly ""mind controlled/brainwashed"" actually gave me chest pain, thinking about that kind of scenario for Callie actually hurts me... Heck i cant even listen to the Splatoon 2 stage music or final boss music because hearing her reversed vocals makes me feel uncomfortable due to the misinformation online. I hated all the misinformation and i wanted it to stop. HELL EVEN IN GIANT TIMELINE VIDEOS WHERE PEOPLE DO TONS OF RESEARCH THEY STILL GET IT WRONG!! UGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! i guess it'll still be the common and popular notion that Callie is an idiot that got kidnapped and then ""mind controlled"" by some shades... oh well... ugh...

I'm sorry if I'm coming off as really angry, i am. It's just, my brain is really hyperfixated on this squid and she means a lot to me. Seeing the way the fandom as well as the writers treat her makes me really mad. I hope i can find some peeps who feel the same way as i do. Misinformation is so frustrating man... i dont even wanna get into the Octarians because that's a whole other can of worms... anyways im done ranting. have a good night or good morning wherever you live y'all.

[lovewireds]

been meaning to post my designs for these little guys forever. insane splatoon rambling under cut to explain design choices and lore related things ... read my autism boy

btw this is a repost from our art side blog this was written and drawn like months ago <- minorly rewrote some things tho

thx splatoon users drfreeman & drcoolatta for fueling my splatvrai autism brainrot ... i hate u /J

GORDON

idk how to explain this but Theoretical Physicist is inkling coded . maybe its cuz splatoon species social hierarchy

Native ink color is Orange, but he has Dark Brown tentacle roots.

Uses custom weapons to attach in place of his prosthetic; It works best with Splatlings but can be adjusted to attach other weapons.

If the thing above didn't make it obvious, he's a Splatling main. He switches out depending on his mood though.

sighhhhh technically an Agent... stares at the ceiling...Main character...

His arm loss is like pretty much the same as in-canon but it's with the octarian army shrugs. don't ask me why he doesn't just regenerate it cuz hes a squid thats for me to know and you to find out. (get partially sanitized loser)

Born & Raised in Inkopolis pre-splashtags; He wasn't informed of the switch to Splashtags being expected when participating in most activities around Inkadia.

TOMMY

I forgot why i made him an inkling why did i do that. I think it was bc i didnt wanna make them all octolings but i was wrong srry we all make mistakes /hj I ALREADY REDREW HIM ONCE IM NTO DOING IT AGAINNN

Native ink color is orange-brown.

His hat has an eye guard for sensory reasons; He covers up as much of his skin as possible because he doesn't like the feeling of foreign ink on him.

He isn't a specific weapon main, he just uses any long-range weapon to minimize the possibility of getting ink on himself. If he has enough guarding, he prefers to use N-ZAP '89.

Makes his own gear for sensory reasons as well :) It's legal when ur dad's the G-Man.

Exclusively plays in Turf Wars, Anarchy Battles, etc with friends. He hates playing with people he doesn't know.

Born in Splatsville !! He feels like a Splatsville resident. His occupation is resident I cannot imagine him doing Anything

His dad is that creepy curtain in one of flounder heights windows /j

BENR(E)Y

Octoling bc I wanted him to be sanitized :) Other than the visual part of being sanitized, I thought him being clinically dead fits /hj also lore reasons below

Pre-sanitization, his native ink color was blue.

Great Turf War veteran; He didn't do anything in the war itself, he was just enlisted lol. He was primarily security for the Octarian Domes in the years after the war. Yes, that also means he is over 100 years old.

"Raised" (debatably) in Octo Canyon.

E-liter main (4-star Base + 5-star Scope) and avid squidbagger. He also uses any heavyweight weapons (dynamo, tenta, etc)

Absolutely hates working at Grizzco, he only does Turf Wars and Anarchy Battles. He only works at Grizzco during Big Runs. The type of guy that does X battles.

Professional Anarchy / Ranked / X Battler btw. That's literally 90% of what he does.

Got on Gordon's azz over him not having a Splashtag; i wonder what that parallels.

BUBBY

Genuinely don't have a lot to say about his design. He gives off Splatoon 2 Octoling vibes (showoff /hj) also i wanted to make his hair wispy like it should be.

Native ink color is a light blue-gray gradient.

The drawing doesn't give it credit but I swear those are glasses not goggles .. they're opaque-colored slanted oval glasses !! ^_^ u can interpret them as spiked or just eyelashes, both are right.

oh also the text under bubby says "Is Best" in some splatoon font we downloaded awhile ago . i think it was ripped from splatnet

Blaster main. I don't know how to explain this one but it feels right.

helps with the practical Map props (ie ink rails) and with some weapon gear manufacturing ^_^ tech guy

COOMER

Was going to make him an Octoling for the convenience of making his hair curly but i didn't want to make all of them octolings + i think his personality generally fits Inklings more.

Native ink color is an off white gradient.

Slosher main cuz he likes moving his arms. this makes sense to me. Also is a fan of Splatlings and other Shooters.

i felt ill trying to design coomer without making his eyes two lines with eyelids

War Veteran...Stole some octarian tech and got fucked up super limbs. Cyber Inkling stealing from octos !! [inkadia crowd goes wild] /j

anyways outside of the war™ he's a data researcher. just generally. he does shit with splatfests and eggstra work.

If you splashed him with ink he would stand unmoving. He would not shake it off.

DARNOLD

Ok i'll be honest the Octoling choice is primarily bc Octolings have the afro style & inklings have no textured hair styles (i didnt have the energy to design smth that could work) . His personality fits octoling too though :3

Native ink color is red-orange.

The fucked up guy that makes those drink effects people never use ( i use them ... )

He doesn't participate in Turf Wars or Anarchy Battles, but he works some gigs at Grizzco for extra cash every once in awhile !

the type of guy that goes after flyfish cuz no one else will . god bles !!!

not a lot to say about his design & his place in inkadia , it kinda speak for itself . he just wants to get by and make his drinks in peace . #autism ... he is pretty much exactly the same as his canon self

[rassicas]

hi guys! im back. i went tokyo for a few days. got back at 7 this morning after taking an overnight 7 hour bus ride.... that i did not sleep on bc i cant sleep in moving vehicles. this will be something closer to a proper blog post i guess. splatoon related convention? experience below

i've kept my mouth shut about my plans to go because its not as well known on the english side of the fanbase and i didnt wanna make people too jealous sorry LOL , but i went to splaket 22! it's an unofficial, splatoon-only doujinshi market/artists alley. this was my first convention-sort-of event ive been to since i was... in high school. i also dont really get to meet many other hardcore splatoon fans irl. i was nervous about it because i don't know a whole lot of people on the JP side nor do i have a lot of confidence in my japanese speaking/listening, but in the end it was SUPER fun. i wish i couldve talked a bit more to the artists i did encounter to comment on what i liked about their works but. Skill Issue very few non-japanese people at this event of course but one of the only english speakers i saw i called out to bc they were wearing a shirt with this exact image printed on it no video and no photos outside of designated areas were allowed so i got like. zero pics of my own. but there was a lot of cosplayers i saw! oh and here's the Loot Haul. a few doujin, a clear file, stickers, microfiber cloth and a keychain. im surprised at how little i got, i think i shouldve gone a bit crazier with it

the one with Tao Blu and oonie in the top left (by sachikazerick) I came across by chance and bought because it was cute, featured splatband characters, and also because it all in some familiar inkling language (the last point of which i told the artist as i was buying) when i finally got home and saw the back credits...

SMALL FUCKIN WORLD LOL (i tweeted at the artist afterwards to let him know i came by the table and to thank him for using me and my friend's inkling language fonts!) though truly, i think ardnin deserved the credit more rather than me since he made most of those fonts! ah well, still cool to see more and more fan works using deciphered inkling language. top middle book is a story with some salmonid characters that i havent read yet but im looking forward to it, the art is lovely. top right one was the first thing i bought. the artist is rk_splaworks, whose art i love, and we've been mutuals for a few years and have talked a bit here and there! i was so fucking nervous to meet them in person since my japanese sucks LMAO but they were happy to meet me too and we got a selfie together yippy <3 also havent read their doujin Yet since ill have to rub all my brain cells together and huddle over the dictionary, but i want their oc lore

ok that's all i'll say, next splaket is...june 22. very soon....im already thinking ill. go again. yknow. while im still in japan and all that. i guess ill have to study harder on my jp in the meantime teehee ...i doubt it, but in the off chance anyone following me is going to the next splaket in june lemme know!

Boatboys Splatoon AU

[REPOST] Moved this from another blog to the main. If you saw the original, no you didn't! /silly

Boat boys am I right chat? Our Splatoon 3 hyperfixation is back :P

Rambles under cut. ^^

The brainrot is so real, where do I even begin? Okay okay for starters, Etho is a sanitized Octoling, not he wasn't always sanitized. He was one of the Octoling's that went through the Octo Expansion levels to try to reach the Promise Land but ultimately he failed and was converted. Cut to after the events of the Octo Expansion and all the Octolings are freed and returned back to the surface.

Etho... Didn't quite adjust to living back on the surface and let's just say, being brainwashed for so long left a lasting impact. It took him YEARS before he even thought about touching turf war again because of the trauma he's been through.

Joel on the other hand is your run of the mill Inkling. He holds down a steady job at a pottery studio, participates in turf wars whenever he gets the chance, maintains his S+ rank and is always the first to invite his friends out to join him in a match.

Eventually after Etho came to terms with his trauma he started competing in turf wars and after becoming comfortable with his surrounding, started competing in ranked matches as well. That's how Joel met him.

Joel was confused at first, seeing an Octoling on the other team with blue-green skin and the way his ink maintained a green tinge around the edges despite the enemy team color being purple. That didn't stop Etho from completely mopping the floor with him during Splat Zones though. After the match was over with, Joel tried his best to meet up with the mysterious Octoling but by the time both teams were packing up to leave the site, Etho was no where to be found. Joel asked he's team mates about him but they didn't have much to say about him, said he was quiet and didn't talk much outside of greetings and light conversation but Joel continued the hunt.

A few weeks would go by before their paths would cross again, in the form of a Tower Control match. This time the two were paired up on the same team. Joel tried to make conversation with Etho but he only gave quick or simple answers, sometimes responding with a shrug or two. During the match Etho shredded the opposing team from afar with his Z+F Splat Charger while Joel made quick work of them, rushing in with his Custom Splattershot JR.

After the match was finished, Joel expected Etho to disappear as soon as it was over with but was surprised to see the Octoling had stuck around to congratulate him on how well was doing on the Tower. They talked some more before finally having to part ways, with Etho stating he had to catch a train. They said their final goodbyes and before officially parting ways, Joel slipped Etho a piece of paper.

Etho didn't open the slip of paper until he settled in on his train, inside was Joel's shell-phone number hurried written out in his own ink. Thus, sparking a beautiful friendship.

You. Fellow Splatoon artist

I wanna hear about your ocs so use this ask to talk about them

OKOKOK YAY

um most of my ocs dont have alot of art.. i mainly post on twitter and the algorithm HATES oc art so i never draw them🥲..(this will just be a ramble tbh)

This is Lovina <33 (she/her)

shes based on neopolitan icecream and dresses in himekaji gyaru fashion! i made her to be a cafe owner which is located in splatsville. she has 2 younger siblings(both unnamed) based on strawberry icecream and vanilla icecream. lovina is known to hang out with idols, making her well known to the media!

Lovina mains z+f splatterscope!(she loves decorating her weapons💕)

This is crow/no.1333 my oe oc! (he/they) crow isnt his real name, they cant remember it!

before oe's events he was a general in the octarian army before the octos were sent underground. tartar had taken many of octavios army but this was the only army general he was able to get, so during oe's events once tartar sanitised him, tartar kept him close.

after oe's events, when the octos got to paradise, he wasn't sure what to do with himself.(also crow only remembers some of their memories, he remembers working in the army but not alot about him as an individual)

hes not got any hobbies really(except maybe photography??), he works at grizzco nearly 24/7. crow mains nearly any long range weapons eg e-liter, hydra, explosher..

he lives underground but has a spare small flat in splatsville, he prefers it underground tho, he hasn't seen octavio since hes been free.

hes quite cold... hes a workaholic and he misses working for octavio ALOT!

This is idol group, Final Paradise. this group includes my 4 unnamed characters 🥲 i took alot of time designing them to the point i didn't name them!! i can show their concept designs in another post if anyone wants.

after escaping the underground together, these 4 were determined to explore inkdia together! once blogging their journey they settled near the coast.

these r their outfit designs since i haven't drawn them fully yet! also yes, they are based on different times of day + weather

okok final ones

This is my idol duo Aster (he/him) and Cinthus (she/they). group name : travelling soul

i dont have any plot for these two except they are supposed to be from callie and maries childhood! originally this duo was a group however i didn't redesign the other 2🤧. also their names are also based on flowers 💐

Aster mains tenta brella + explosher

Cinthus mains any splatana + new squiffer

shout out to these 3, never used them for anything but i love their designs deeply!

ive got so many unused/not drawn ocs, id love to use them again or atleast draw them again💕💕 i also have alot of idol + agent designs and hcs!

thank you for asking sweet person🫂🫂

A little guy COMPLETED (part IV)

Started 8/23/24

Completed 9/1/24

I put all faith in the process and look at him.

YOU GUYS BETTER TRUST THE PROCESS WHEN IT COMES TO PROJECTS. They may end up becoming unbalanced (ahem.) but it's worth it at the end.

I painted his gloves, but I don't think this picture does it justice. I made his scarf (?? idk what it's called) out of paper and taped it to him.

My camera was absolutely tweaking out with this photo. I'm a little upset about that. Finally, him in his round head glory.

Under the cut is just a few words I have about this guy and the future of the blog (nothing bad dw!!)

I am absolutely glowing with pride from this dude. For the few days where he stood un-painted, I was really thinking about giving up on him since I've been tired and the want to start on other projects was getting to me.

Surprisingly the only thing that kept me going was the fact I didn't want another two chunks of dried clay on my desk. (The other chunks came from a never finished WIP for my Ralsei cosplay.) They're still sitting here very much lifeless.

I'm glad I have another addition to my ghost collection. He sits on the other side of the of my Papa Nihil 'figure'.

Now for the future of the blog:

For a while I've been wondering if I should keep this a Ghost fan page or if I should post art of the fandoms, I'm into (like ATHF, Undertale, Splatoon). I also have a story that I'm currently writing that's unrelated to everything that I just spoke about. But uh it would be nice to hear what y'all think.

If you made it this far tysm and hopefully I didn't bore you with this block of text.

[worldsewage]

Callie, in my opinion, is the factually greatest character in the splatoon series. As one of the oldest characters in the series she has made quite the impression! In splatoon one her characterization was mostly hand in hand with Marie, but that is okay! Her and Marie have a wonderfully fun dynamic. People rave about Pearlina but I think I love sibling dynamics just as much as lesbian ones! Marie and Callie bicker a lot but it's clear, especially from Callie in the first game, that she genuinely loves her cousin. Her first choice was team Marie, and though this is likely just stage dialogue, I think that's a sentiment she actually does hold. Her and Marie's dynamic is put to the test in splatoon 2 but it comes out on top. However, in splatoon 2, we get a deeper look at her psyche. Callie is someone who craves companionship. We see how she struggles without it. When her and Marie drift apart, it leaves her unable to be happy. She draws a sad face on the window and posts it to her blog. Craig and Three were gone as well, leaving her completely alone. However, who was there? Octavio. Now, Octavio isn't evil per say, but I would say that a lonely and isolated Callie would be prime for manipulation into working for him. And she does choose too, first willingly, and then putting the shades on. However she is no less isolated down there as she was up there, surrounded by fans but not by friends, not ones who actually care about her anyways. Octavio is using her for his status. The other elites likely see her as an enemy first. When Marie offers her that hand she's saying 'I'm sorry, lets be the squid sisters again' and Callie lets herself believe that she is loved. Splatoon 3 we see the end of this arc. Callie is now happier. She wants to go to space. She has a more mature outfit, reflecting that she has matured. She doesn't seem lonely anymore. I think her and Marie had some serious conversations and both restructured their lives so the other could be in it more. This lead to both becoming happier overall. Marie still has her podcast, for instance, but now Callie joins every so often. The reason Craig doesn't die is specifically so that Callie is not losing anyone else. We also learn from Smollusk that Callie now has Octoling friends, showing she has that companionship she so desired. What will happen in future games? Will Callie learn how to function without Marie? Will she become brainwashed again? Only time will tell, but whatever is in store for this lovable inkling, I can't wait to see it. Perchance.

No one is as unshakeable as Callie fans online…

I Can't Stop Thinking About Mr. Grizz In Space

I'll preface all that I am going to say with the fact that Return of the Mammalians as a story has a lot of problems. Its pacing is kind of wack and basically all of the actual plot happens literally at the end. I think I like it more than most, certainly more than a lot of other high-profile Splatoon blogs here, but there's no denying it has a ton of flaws.

It did, however, leave me with a lot to chew on, and perhaps one of the things it has had me thinking about the most is actually just a little gag in the credits

About three minutes into the credits, Mr. Grizz is shown slowly orbiting around earth, given so little thought that the credits roll right over him, but I genuinely think this is one of the most poignant and evocative images in the whole game.

Now, Mr. Grizz wasn't handled very well in this game, primarily as a consequence of that whole "all of the story happens in the ending sequence" thing, but I think that conceptually he is about as perfect of a villain as they could've made for the supposed "finale" of the story they've been building up to now.

One of Splatoon's primary themes, especially with its villains, has been the dangers of clinging to the past. Octavio is a bitter old warlord stoking the flames of a long-gone conflict mostly to satisfy his bruised ego. Commander Tartar is obsessed with an idealized version of the past and seeks to remake the present when it can't live up to that ideal, even when that ideal never existed. Splatoon 3 even went further, revealing that inklings, octolings, and all the other land-living sea life are in fact humanity's truest successors, and Tartar tried to wipe them all out anyway.

Mr. Grizz continues this trend and takes it maybe as far as possible because he doesn't just want to reshape the present, he sees it as something unnatural and wrong on a base fundamental level, a mistake that can only be resolved by restoring the status quo, giving the planet back to the mammals. Coming as close as possible to literally turning back time. With Splatoon's focus on youth culture and pop media, it's hard not to read this theme as an allegory for the ways that older generations can cause immense harm in rejecting the new and in making futile attempts to grasp a world that once was but never can be again.

But Splatoon isn't trying to tell us that the divides between us are unmendable, far from it. Over the course of the first two games we see how inklings and octolings grow closer and closer until it's a complete afterthought in the third game, and even Octavio, when push comes to shove, is willing to bury the hatchet for the greater good. Calamari Inktantation 3MIX is perhaps the purest expression of this, a mix of old and new, a traditional folk song turned into a pop song, complemented by three artists that each pull from completely different cultures (Frye = India, Shiver = Japan, Big Man = Brazil) all mixed together by a 100+ years old DJ. Calamari Inktantation is old and new, pop and traditional, Inkopolis and Splatsville, octoling and inkling (and manta ray), in a chaotic, messy, beautiful swirl of sheer ecstatic joy. As a song, it is peak Splatoon, clear and simple.

But this isn't about Calamari Inktantation 3MIX, as excited about that song as I am, this is about Mr. Grizz, and after spending so many games exploring the dangers of clinging to the past, Splatoon 3 uses him to show us what happens when you cannot let go.

Mr. Grizz could not accept the present he found himself in. To him it was wrong, it was offensive, and he fought tooth and claw to bring it back with him, into the past, to the glory days, and he fails. Of course he fails, you can't stop time, much less turn it back, and the people of the present will always fight to protect their future. So where does that leave him?

Alone. Gazing down at a planet he was born on but can no longer recognize. From his orbit, he can see thousands, maybe millions, of little lights along the coastlines, each one an entire city, buzzing with life and all of its eccentricities. It's a world that would probably welcome him, if he gave it the chance. But he didn't. He rejected it and sought to return to a time and a place that no longer existed, and in so doing, all he achieved was isolating himself. And now, as he circles the world, all he can do is watch as it moves on without him.

Hi, Hello, I'm yuki!

🌀꒱ he/they , transmasc!nb , teen , neurodivergent 🫧꒱ i'm a new edit blog! i just really wanna show some love and create some resources for my favourite characters, some being less popular so not having many options for premade icons, headers, etc. i am a laptop user as well so i am not active all the time, please be patient with me!

୨୧

🎐꒱ DNI: do not attempt to twist my words / find a loophole! homophobic in any manner, enjoys + creates drama, overly hateful + negative, hateful on minorities, maps, basic dni, anti-neoprns, anti-rare pairs, sexualising of characters, + will block anyone that i deem necessary!

୨୧

🩵꒱ FANDOMS I LIKE: Houseki no Kuni, Tanaka-Kun is Always Listless, Honkai Star Rail, Genshin Impact, Pokemon, Project Sekai, Vocaloid, Reverse 1999, Epithet Erased, Demon Slayer, Animal Crossing, Splatoon, Legend of Zelda, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Bungo Stray Dogs, Cookie Run Kingdom, ENA, Saki K, Oneshot, Underworld Office and Kingdom Hearts!

⤴ ⸝⸝ these are not in any order and i know less about some of them!

Request Rules for my Blog!

🌀꒱ single characters or pairs are fine! let me know if it's a ship, platonic or just two characters you really like. i will not do real-life characters, aka: characters played by actors in live action media, sorry for any disappointment!

୨୧

🫧꒱ i have the right to refuse requests and will do so if it's a ship that breaks my dni or is a show/media that i do not wish to be associated with, no hate for you enjoying it, it's just that i do not want to interact with it or attract those who also are fans of it.

୨୧

🎐꒱ please let me know when requesting what colour theme you want and if you want a pfp set or banners! (telling me what type of banner you want as well is useful!)

୨୧

🩵꒱ i work down my list in order of request so please be patient with me! i am also pretty new to editing and currently work from a laggy ibis paint x and an old tablet that desperately needs to be replaced, ill do the best i can! + as always, being polite goes a long way!

About Me

( Mod posts featuring my cartoon-self are tagged Watashi )

Autistic, INFJ, 3W4. Uses She/Her.

I'm an artist! I doodle cartoons and vend stuff at local events

I am also a vocal synth producer (active on TikTok and YouTube) specializing in the Vocaloid, Synthesizer V, and Open Utau programs to make synthetic vocal covers of songs. I also made a packs of vocal synth self care ringtones for people with executive dysfunction.

I'm a Twitch Affiliate with a PNG-tuber of my fursona, Chia! I mostly do commissions and art live, but sometimes I'll play games too. :)

I have a tendency to switch between hyperfixations. If you see me drawing a bunch of the same thing one week but different stuff the next, that's why. Don't worry if I move on from something you liked! It always comes back around.

You are welcome to submit asks / comments directed to me or my OCs.

I am strictly SFW.
