GIGS as phasmo ghosts

This is no original idea, but which ghost best fits the GIGS phasmo crew?

Grian

Demon. They can hunt whenever they want, regardless of external factors like sanity. Grian can and will bring potentially lethal chaos to any and all situations. (Also, pls consider Grimon) Alternative picks

Moroi, for their sanity draining abilities

Revenant, because they’re most deadly when they see you. Almost like they’re always watching

Honorble mention: Grioni, deogrian

Impulse

Not sure, first pick Phantom. He does the camera a lot, and he can’t be in the photo if he’s the one taking it. Also Phantompulse S8 our beloved Alternative picks

Spirit, purely for the irony of it. Ain’t no way this boy is the generic default ghoul. But consider Impulse’s love of smudge sticks, and a spirit’s intolerance.

Demon because Imp

Banshee, Skiz is the target. ImpulseSV ImpulseBanshee

Deogen, I just think he’d like it. Deos are fun, and he does sometimes meme people with a voice changer. (Deo spirit box)

Yokai on account of how many times he just straight up doesn’t hear Gem

Oni, since no one else knows what the deal is with the hiss. Onimpulse

Gem

Myling. They’re quiet, a bit sneaky, and deadly. You don’t know how screwed you are until you’re already facing Geminislay. Alternative picks

Yokai, because she WILL kill you if you don’t shut up

Shade, the very shy ghost, for when Gem stays in the van and doesn’t go see the other ghoulies.

Revenant. Slow, deliberate steps in time with Gem’s as she strolls through her calm cottage core village. But then she sees you and BOOM ya dead.

Hantu. Canada. Cold.

Honorable mention: GeminiThaye, Jinninitay, GemOnitay

Goodtimeswithscar (Scar)

Wraith. Consider a flying ghost wheelchair. That’s why he doesn’t step in salt. There’s also similarities in the wraiths teleportation ability and being Hot Guy’d. Alternative picks

Poltergeist. They’re known for throwing things around and general chaos. The item explosions happen when he hits things with his wheelchair. Poltergoodtimeswithscar

Banshee, because of the iconic *scared whimpering Scar noises* when running away from things

Mimic, their shifty and confounding tendencies cleanly mirror Scar’s sales tactics.

Honorable mentions: The goodTwinswithscar

Skizzelman:

Poltergeist. YEET. Just overall chaos, mostly just has polty vibes. Alternative picks

The Twins. Sometimes he’s quick sometimes he’s not. It’s anyone’s guess, and he certainly isn’t thinking about it.

Mare. In the absence of light, there is no color. Especially after guess the build, we’re all starting to think Skizz is color blind. SkizzelMare

Banshee, Impulse is the target.

Please let me know if you have any more ideas!

Im not finished with Carlos fully but he looks good enough for right now ( he’s 22 in this picture here)

I changed Carlos and Evie up, so now Evie is a vain witch like her mother who is fashionable but she doesn’t sew her own stuff. ( which is for the better cse wtf was that ugly ass dress she made for Mal in D2???)

Carlos considers himself to be a very expensive person and can be pretty big germaphobe. He hates getting anything on his clothes and he refuses to wear the school uniforms at Auradon Uni because they’re ugly. He wears lots of black white grey and red, with gold accents usually. He does theme around dog associated items like gold bone cutlets, paw print lapel chains, and a tennis ball brooch. He often wears red gloves and his favorite shoes are his collection of red bottom dress shoes. He likes hiding red on the interlining of his clothes too, such as his jackets and hats and vests.

A lot of his own person style is derived from 1990s London fashion ( as the artist that means I get my references from the 1996 101 Dalmatians live action movie, the styling of Cruela in that movie is ICONIC AND IMACULATE, and I MUST reference her for Carlos.

PURRRR

Of course he wears REAL animal print. And he’s not a weak touch me not prick like some think. He’s still tech savvy and does Anyalitics and specs for the core four. He also loves GUNS 😄. Think of him like a sharp shooter who stays in the back of turf wars and snipes people. The isle doesn’t have many marks men ( they all really like swords for some reason) so he’s pretty dangerous. He builds his own weapons too.

His passion started out as a way for him to collect his own furs but Harry gets him most of what he needs plus he always needs Carlos to redo his wardrobe ( he gets… messy… after a couple days work) Carlos hates that Harry ruins his creations so fast but he pays him well and gifts him rare fabrics and samples from Auradon.

Because Carlos has no magic Mal always underestimates him. She sees him as only a stylist and ranged weapon specialist. Even tho she acknowledges him for his wit and tech skills she still doesn’t listen to him. Sometimes he wishes he could stay with Harry but then he’d have to do more work up front. Harry understood what Carlos was capable of and respected him a lot. What Harry doesn’t understand is that not everybody likes to be covered head to toe in hot sticky blood 24/7. Harry had also promised him a suite on his boat that nobody else was allowed to occupy, but even if Harry’s crew feared HARRY they wouldn’t mind having an attitude with CARLOS for preferential treatment, even if it is what he deserves 🙄

Harry and Carlos’s relationship is the definition of there are two wolves inside you. Carlos smokes and drinks but he’s more of a Marlboro and Merlot type of guy and Harry’s a Rum and Cigar kinda lad. ( I’m using cartoon logic and say that those habits are purely aesthetic based of iconography from the original Disney moves, Cruella smokes and Capt. Hook smokes two cigars at once)

Carols isn’t really scared of dogs anymore but when he arrives at Auradon he “befriends” his roommate Chad ( now an animal lover like his mother) who has pet rats and a entourage of wild animals constantly in their dorm, and threatens to shoot and skin them all every single day to make a new line of coats ( when Chad rebuttals that his rats are too small to make coats, Carlos says they’d make the perfect fuzzy gloves 💀) He also uses Chad as a living mannequin for his designs. They have a goofy relationship with each other, Carlos does make Chad do all the dirty work of skinning and draining the animals he hunts but despite how traumatic that is Carlos is a fun sweet guy so it’s okay 💀💀💀.

Jay is jelly of Carlos due to his closeness with Harry. ( I guess the way to Jays heart and respect is by holding him at sword point and threatening to gut him and hang him by those very guts over shark infested waters and watch them nibble away at him 💀)

Next I’ll find up Carlos and do some fit designs then I’ll redesign Jay and tell that gutting story 😛

(Lost media YouTuber voice) Number 15: The Proto Man. Dr. Thomas Light’s Robot Masters have revolutionized the world of robotics. It’s understandable to think that DLN. 001, commonly known as Mega Man, was the first one ever made, but what you may not know is there was a prototype that came before him. Designed under the codename Project Blues and given the serial number DLN. 000, this robot was the first with a fully functional IC chip, and was equipped with a shield and a primitive version of the Mega Buster. However, it was built with an unstable core that was slowly draining its energy. Shortly after this revelation the Proto Man disappeared under mysterious circumstances. For this reason, many people believe that this prototype must have been destroyed at some point, either by its manufacturer or a result of its faulty core. Still, some believe it might still be somewhere out there. Though the original prototype is missing, Light’s later robots took many design cues from it, especially Mega Man and the iconic “Joe” line of military drones.

For the past two Spiderverse films, Miles uses the shoulder touch to venom blast his opponent away and win the battle. It’s likely that Miles would use this technique on the Spot to drain his dark matter and turn him back into his human form. However, I wonder if in BTSV, this expectation gets subverted where instead of Miles using his shoulder touch to create distance, he uses this technique to connect with his adversary by talking things out with the Spot.

At the end of ATSV, the Spot has amassed so much dark matter, he lost all semblance of his human form and is becoming this large, monster-like being who creates destruction in its wake. Considering how much of a threat the Spot has become, Miles can’t simply fight his way out, but instead he must think smarter, something he learned from his battle with Miguel and the Spider Society. This means that Miles would have to appeal to the Spot’s rationality by having a conversation with him, likely in the Spot’s Liminal Space.

There’s also how Miles and the Spot share the same struggle of feeling like they’re not being taken seriously, not being treated as an equal. For Miles, he’s constantly treated as a kid and had his Spider identity be reduced to being an anomaly. For the Spot, he’s been bullied for his inhuman appearance and has his nemesis status being reduced to “a villain of the week,” a diminishing that Miles contributed towards. With Miles undergoing the same treatment, it would lead to him revealing how much he empathizes with the Spot, which would allow the Spot for the first time since his transformation to feel seen. Through this openness, the Spot would realize he doesn’t need to become this large force of nature to be respected, thus allowing Miles to use the shoulder touch and absorb his dark matter to become human again. In turn, if Miles says his iconic “hey” line, it wouldn’t be an act of defiance like he did with Kingpin, but rather a place of connection where it’s more like: “Hey. I see you and understand you.” In a way, it harks back to the original intention of the shoulder touch, founded by Uncle Aaron. While Aaron, admittedly used this technique for flirting, at its core, it’s meant to break the tension and form connection.

Another thing that is poignant about Miles choosing to talk with the Spot is how it acts as a way for Miles to confront his fear of expectations. Expectations is something that haunted Miles since ITSV, as he’s always felt beholden to the expectations of his family, friends, and other Spiderpeople. This fear is best encapsulated in his mural that has the word “expectations” and is overlaid by a rough silhouette of himself. The silhouette is significant as its a blank slate that represents all the unfathomable amount potential Miles holds and the unknown person he’ll become if he’s further shaped by these expectations. It also bares a striking resemblance to the Spot’s dark and sketchy form at the end of ATSV, along with his ability to create holes to other dimensions being reminiscent of the infinite possible people Miles could become. In a way, the Spot is his mural come to life and is now seeking vengeance on its creator for carrying such a burden by destroying those who imposed these expectations in the first place, namely Miles’s dad.

However, ATSV shows how the mural evolved, since it now includes Gwen, Uncle Aaron, Peter B, and the rest of Miles’ Spidey friends. This symbolizes Miles’s mindset on expectations evolving as he now sees this idea as something to live up to, since they’re held by the people who love him. This new mindset is applied to Miles’s parents who, while not on the mural, give him the unconditional support he needs for becoming the person he wants to be. Thus, with Miles getting support from the people imposing expectations on him, he gains self-determination and is not only able to stand up to the Spot, but also has the strength to make amends with him. After all, the Spot lacks the support system Miles has as his parents and colleagues all laughed at him after his transformation. Coupled with Miles not taking his villainy seriously, the Spot is fueled by his own internal expectation to advance his prowess as a villain by furthering his vengeance and losing himself in the process. It’s only when Miles finds the humanity in the Spot by releasing his dark matter, he finds Johnathon Ohn and saves him from this burden. In turn, by finding the humanity in his fear, that’s when Miles finds himself, which fills in his silhouette as he conquers his fear of expectations.

I'm bored and I've been wanting to make a list of the Islanders my MC ended up with in each season (along with some tea ☕) for while sooo here it is! 💅✨

S1: Jake (I started with Miles, and ofc that went to shit, then ended up with Levi and was being MESSY, then ended the season with Jake. But TRUST, if Tim had a full endgame route I would've been with him, but you could only get with him during the reunion, and like...I wanted more so I just stuck with Jake 🥲 LOVE Jake tho! Love me my bi man that can cook mmyeahh 💅✨ But overall this season was messy in the best way possible and S1 MC stood on business 💃✨!!! Miss her 🥲)

S2: Bobby (my first ever playthrough I actually chose Rocco ((yikes)) and I was so committed to doing a loyal route that the whole Marisol and Rocco thing actually SHOOK me to my core and I was low-key kinda devastated. But Bobby was the one that comforted my MC and it was kinda like a friends to lovers moment and I was sold from then on LMFAOO. Like I love the loyal Bobby route when you pick him on day one, but I stand ten toes down that the BEST way to play his route was to start with Rocco, get that angst, and end up with Bobby. It was better than the slow burn Bobby route imo bc 1 I'm impatient, and 2 the vibes...the tension...it was the perfect balance girl I'll even say it was ✨ immaculate ✨ UGGHHHH I miss S2 so much 😭 S2 is and will forever remain the best season of litg imo. Ofc there's a few fixes it could use, but overall, it's leagues above every other season just for the cast of iconic islanders alone 💅✨)

S3: Camilo (now this one is funny cus at the time I wasn't really into S3 as much as the other 2 seasons, like it just wasn't giving the same level of dramatics or messiness. So on my first playthrough I just chose who I liked the look of ((Camilo)) and stuck it out to the end. And I love him fr like he's great! But my next playthrough was my favourite bc it was MESSYYYY. I started with Camilo, got freaky with Tai then coupled up with him, then I ended the season with Rafi. And I'm pretty sure during the reunion I was even more messy because it was forced on us to have a fight with your li. So I leaned into that and made my MC just flirty with everyone LMFAOOO. I can't really remember but I think I made her get back with either Tai or Camilo 💀 S3 reunion was definitely...a choice!)

S4: Bruno (what can I say..I love a silly goofy man LMDJSHDJSDBSH. No but fr he was a sweetheart. I actually started with Will, and I'm now just realizing it's kinda reminiscent of my first Bobby route when I started with Rocco LOL ((Will is leagues above Rocco tho. Idk why but I feel like Rocco would def not use deodorant bc it takes away his "natural musk" or some shit 💀)). I was really into Will and wanted to be with him, but he got all wishy washy and wanted to explore things with Thabi, and I was like....bruh 🧍‍♀️. So I just coupled up with Bruno not really expecting too much, but idk girlies the silly man charmed me and the rest is history 💀 this season I overall liked a bit more than S3 which shocked me. I'm still kinda bummed they never made a reunion for it 🥲)

S5: ✨Money✨ (this season...was a mess. Not messy...a MESS. Not a very enjoyable mess indeed. I kinda just hated everyone so I made my MC try to be as FUN messy and dramatic as possible bc best believe everyone else was just draining the life out of the villa for fun 💀 in my first playthrough I ended the season with Finn and chose love....then I replayed chose Suresh and chose money for the drama and I liked that ending much more teehee 👹🥰🤭)

S6: Lewie (I liked this season! It wasn't AMAZING but it wasn't bad either. Amelia was....Amelia... Lewie was cute and loyal, but the scenarios that FB forced MC and her li in were...less enjoyable at times. WHY did they have your li confuse your MC and Amelia in bed....girl be fr.... Like I could clearly tell Lewie was being genuine if a bit awkward, but very much into MC, but they made him look so shady sometimes for no reason like plsssss 😭💀 I'm still debating if I should replay for Roberto or Andy, but they all just kinda become the same person sooo 💀 But I definitely think this season's MC was one of the prettiest! she slayed the boots house down mawma MWAHHHHH 💋💕)

S7: Alex (idk what to really say about this season...it was forgettable I fear... I chose Alex just bc he was the one who stood out to me looks wise initially. His personality was cute...but again I feel like all the li's just morph into the same person at certain points in the game. I'm debating on replaying for Rafael bc he's also cute, but I've seen that the drama isn't really drama-ing, and the messiness you would expect is...rather clean actually...sooo. S7 you were not that girl I fear 💀)

S8: Jin (I really liked this season, it was dramatic and messy! But I think I liked it so much because of the fandom. On its own it's good! Like we're definitely getting somewhere, but again it's not AMAZING. And it has some of the same issues of previous seasons, the li's just morph into the same being at certain points in the game. Not to mention the designated villain/rival being interchangeable, and... Sienna. Just...Sienna. Jin was the best part of that season for me personally. But again FB was trying to be slick and trying to make him seem shady when he wasn't and girl plssssss like it's getting old 💀😭 Also I will say, this season probably had the best/most successful casa amor, so I will give it that. I was so tempted to switch to Max, but I wanted to complete a loyal playthrough with Jin first, and did 🤪✌️. The reunion....the....reunion....hmmm. Well! It certainly put itself above S3s reunion... for the most disastrous down right diabolical almost unplayable reunion 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰.)

~ANYWAYS~

This is my list as well as the tea aka my personal thoughts and opinions 💃 if you took the time to read this...hi 🥴💕 ur cute 🤪��, no but fr thanks for taking the time to read my chaotic posts! Also if anything, I'm excited to interact more with the fandom for the next season and I hope we can all have fun with it! Manifesting chaotic messy dramatic vibes for season 9 aka All Stars WOOOOOOO!!! 💃✨💃✨💃✨💃✨

SET THREE - ROUND TWO - MATCH FOUR

“Cat in Obsolete Bath” (? - Theodor Seuss Geisel) / “Salvator Mundi (Savior of the World)” (c.1499-1510/2006-07 - Leonardo da Vinci)

CAT IN OBSOLETE BATH: This painting (and a lot of Seuss's darker artwork) give me the feeling that I can only describe as "a child learning that adults/their heroes are human beings". We are so accustomed to seeing him as an icon of children's books/art, that when we see these darker reflections of his mind (often using similar characters and creatures as his children's work) that makes me realize that this man is a human being that has gone through periods of despair. In this painting in particular, the background elicits emotions of emerging darkness. The titular cat having its top half hidden with its legs and tail looking so pathetic on the bottom, the water drops possibly being tears. What is he doing hidden away? Just bathing? Or crying. The wonkyness of the shower drain contributes as well. (princeoftheroses)

SALVATOR MUNDI: When I look at the scuffed up and damaged wooden panel, while I see the image of Christ gazing at me through five hundered years, I also see the Object and all the ways in which it seems to drive people to a sort of rational delirium. 500+ years ago, some guy attempted to convey the idea of Jesus as sacrifice and world saviour - the core of Christian theology - by use of paint and brushes, into a single picture for a single customer. It survived wars and revolutions and reformations and while I know the image and the story of the object intimately, I have never actually seen it and I probably never will, it is paint on a wooden panel and it is quite likely to outlive me by centuries. (skeppsbrott)

("Cat in Obsolete Bath is a painting by Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss.)

"Salvator Mundi" (Savior of the World) is a oil on walnut panel painting attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, but possibly by another artist. The submitter specifically requested the post cleaning and pre-restoration version of this painting. This painting measures 45.4 by 65.6 cm (25.8 by 19.2 in) and is privately held.)

OKAY, this has been in dah works for ages I only have an half asked vague idea and plotline in my head..not good at future planning lol.

Anyways this is a mind finished prologue to my Splatoon Alternate Universe story.

I have like 2 and half completed chapter still stuck in dah rough draft mode but I wanted yer feedback and stuff on it what do yah all think?

Also dah story has a temporary name.

SPLATOON: ECHOES OF THE DROWNED WORLD

Prologue: In which a world ends and new one begins.

In the dimly lit room, the shadowy outline of a massive machine loomed, its main terminal emitting a faint, blue glow. Dull, flickering lights pulsed across the flat, rectangular surface, centered around a clear, blue orb that throbbed with a pale, blue light. 

Suddenly, the room shook as the sound of ancient machinery rumbled to life, breaking centuries of dormancy. The orb's glow intensified, and a single holographic screen flickered to life, its bright blue display slowly filling with numbers and codes. 

《/...Initializing Preprogrammed A.I Personality Matrix.\.. ..[W-warning!]...D-ďAtA...Co-cOrRup--T-3d// ...Attempting to Reload O.R.C- @...Fzzt!》

The screen glitched and fizzled, an alarm blaring as the terminal's lights and orb shifted to a dark, bloody red. The sudden change in illumination revealed a white, skeletal hand reaching towards the terminal, the rest of the limb disappearing into the shadows.

Above the now deep, angry red holographic screen, walls of white code and text flickered chaotically, before abruptly cutting out, casting the room in darkness. Seconds later, the main terminal sparked to life, white text blinking onto the screen.

《■...REBOOTING...▪》

《|!|...A.I Matrix/Corrupted/Data/Lost..|!?|》

《...Scanning Database/Rewriting Core Parameters/Selecting Optimal Files...//▪▪▪NEW A.I  PERSONALITY MATRIX/CREATED/ACCESSING...<|ECHO|>》

The screen flickered in black and white, an image of a green dolphin appearing briefly before stabilizing to reveal a new icon - a yellow and red Sea Angel with a white spiral behind it. 

《DATA ON CURRENT TIME/SINCE  EARTHQUAKE\UNKNOWN..》

《PROLONGED USE OF THE POWER STASIS PROTOCOL HAS DAMAGED FILES CONTAINED IN THE MAIN SERVER...PREVIOUS EMERGENCY ORDERS FOR [Automatic Repairs] TO THE CENTRAL GEOTHERMAL GENERATOR \\COMPLETED\\... 93% SUCCESSFUL REBOOT. |MOST LIKELY CAUSE OF DAMAGED MEMORY FILES|》

Blueprint-like maps opened and closed rapidly on the floating, transparent screen as text continued to flow.

《...REROOTING POWER TO A.I CORE/DRONE FACILITY/MARINE B&R LABS --|Warning! Warning!| EXTENSIVE DAMAGES DETECTED  THROUGHOUT THE DOME..\\Generating Maintenance Repair List//...DRAINING SUBMERGED LEVELS//BLOCKING OFF IRREPARABLE FLOODED AREAS| SCANNING FOR BIOSIGNATURES▪▪| 》

ECHO's icon faded in and out as the text continued.

《...Scan Completed... 》

《|0 Humans | 30,498 Marine Species | 1400 Unknown Species Detected.》 

ECHO's icon brightened, the holographic screen focusing on an image of a large lake with a series of islands and structures, including a white, steel pyramid-shaped building on the largest island.

《...MARINE BIO&RESEARCH LABRATORIES.-LEVEL 3... SENDING IN DRONES/ACCESSING/OBERSERVATION PROGRAMS...》

As ECHO, the newly born AI, approached the Harmonic Genetics Island Facility, it remained unaware of the momentous decision it was about to make - a decision that would change the course of Earth's future.

00000000

12,000 years ago, the world drowned. Swallowed by a nigh unstoppable Flood, only spoken of in ancient holy texts, almost all life on Earth was washed away by the deadly, radiated waters.

But the Flood did not happen instantaneously. The End of the Old World was at first a slow buildup, as the Earth's most populous sapient race - Humanity - spread and slowly sickened the planet with their actions.

For thousands of years, Humans lived and died on Earth in their golden age, inhabiting sprawling Mega Cities built from the valuable metal Duratianium. Their population was said to have reached into the trillions. Technological advances were at an all-time high - new genetic and cybernetic breakthroughs, sustainable pocket dimensions, and teleportation technology were just the tip of the iceberg. Sadly, as all good things tend to do, it all came to an end.

Before the sea levels began to rise, before the wars and the ruining of the world, one Human known simply as The Professor gave dire, alarming reports to world leaders about the first signs of rising waters and Humanity's devastating impact on the planet. Tragically, those warnings went mostly unheeded. 

Only a few leaders heeded the Professor's advice and made preparations, consulting their own scientists and engineers. They began building massive underground or underwater Domes - self-sustaining bunker complexes designed to give Humans a chance at surviving the coming Flood. However, the leaders who ignored the Professor soon found their countries losing land and resources as the silent waters encroached.

This conflict and desperation led to the outbreak of a horrifying World War 5, which accelerated the End of Humanity. Unethical experiments and secret projects were carried out, overseen by the Kamabo Corporation, a powerful Mega Corporation responsible for much of Earth's technology. 

In the end, it was a single nuclear missile, its guidance AI malfunctioning, that struck Antarctica and melted the ice cap - the final straw that caused the oceans to swell and swallow the land. Trillions of lives and species were extinguished as Humanity's time came to a tragic, watery end.

For 10,000 years, the Earth remained flooded. But slowly, the water levels lowered and the radiation fell to manageable levels. And from the watery depths and ruined remains of the Old World, a new form of life rose up - the Mollusk Era had begun.

0000000

The new race collectively known as the Alternarians was full of different species of evolved marine life. This diverse population had escaped certain doom thanks to the Alterna Cradle, a place of legend said to have been the birthplace of the modern-day Alternarians' ancestors and the place that refilled the oceans with regular marine life from the Old World. The location of this mysterious Cradle has been lost to time, with the only proof of its existence being the Calamari Inkantation - a song that has been faithfully passed down through generations, its ancient music resonating deeply with the DNA and souls of the Inklings and Octolings, the most populous of the Alternarians.

These Inklings and Octolings, funnily enough, seemed to take on many human-like aspects, followed by the humanoid Jellies and then varying species of crustaceans and fish. The very first generation of Alternarians inherited a world covered in the ruins of humanity. The state of the Earth after the Flood was essentially a giant graveyard, with crumbling megacities and whatever technology had managed to survive, along with the grim fossilized remains of humanity and Earth's other lifeforms. Large swathes of land had become dry desert, and some species of marine life had somehow survived the long, radiated years of the Flood, evolving into twisted, feral monsters that even the amphibious wild Salmonid Tribes avoided.

During the Flood, a massive earthquake had shifted the land, and large volcanoes had formed, completely changing the landscape of the Old World. What remained of Earth's plant life had also been forced to evolve, though the return of some species was made possible by the recovery of Seed Arcs. Somehow, certain species of birds and insects had also managed to survive, possibly preserved in a Dome, much like the Seed Arcs.

Over the next 2,000 years, the Alternarians slowly settled down, reverse-engineering what human technology they could find. Their culture was greatly influenced by these human artifacts, such as the inkbased and highly competitive sport of Turf War, which had become a central feature in Inkling and Octoling culture, sometimes even a way of life. Music had also become an important part of their culture, with some songs having a strangely empowering effect on Inklings and Octolings.

000000000

The surrounding human ruins and terrain of these Alternarian-built cities and towns is dangerous. The deeper one travels away from the safety and protective presence of any settlement, the greater the risk of being permanently splatted. The land deeper in is filled with roaming ferals - twisted, monstrous creatures evolved from the marine life that survived the Flood - as well as suicidal and voracious Salmonid tribes. As a result, most Alternarians are now armed with ink weapons and electro weapons for self-defense.

In the past year, strange and alarming rumors have been passed down from traveling scrap hunters and other folk, speaking of oddly-colored creatures of flesh and metal. These recently discovered monsters have been dubbed "Inkreapers" and "Inkhimiras," and they are said to originate from the ominous Inkrot Wastes near the border between Inkadia and Octopia. 

The once-familiar landscape of the Old World has been irrevocably transformed, both by the cataclysmic Flood and the subsequent evolution and adaptation of its remaining denizens. The Alternarian cities and towns stand as bastions of relative safety and civilization, but beyond their walls lies a dangerous, unpredictable world - one in which the Alternarians must navigate with caution and the ever-present threat of the unknown...

That's it.. soooooo, how was it? Please do leave a comment below or such.

[allyouneediskilly]

The thing that really gets to me about Malenia vs Radahn discourse, aside from the extreme misogyny directed at Malenia, which is its own can of horrible worms, is that the game literally tells us the answer! Neither of them won!

The game is very clear about the fact it was a stalemate, they fought to a stand still. Radahn is a husk of his former self, roaming the wasteland of their battle eating the corpses of his friends and enemies. Malenia is so drained from the fight and finally not holding back the scarlet rot that she is comatose afterwards. Findlay had to drag her back to the Haligtree by herself (iconic) to make sure she was safe. Neither of them are the same after their battle.

Malenia and Radahn were both considered the strongest for different reasons. Malenia was an Empyrean, the best swordsman in the Lands Between, host to a fucking Outer God, and had the undying devotion of her soldiers. Radahn was a titan of a man, a master of gravity sorcery, arresting the cycle of the stars themselves, and was beloved by his soldiers too. I still get shivers facing either of them.

The arguments about who won completely misses the very obvious point, so obvious that they literally just tell you in the game, that nothing was to be gained by this war. It was a power squabble between a fractured family that destroyed the Lands Between, leaving no one left to rule, leaving the Tarnished to pick up the pieces of the Shattering.

FromSoftware have never been subtle about the fact that these conflicts do way more harm than good, that these institutions like the Golden Order or Gywns kingdom of Anor Londo are rotten to their core, and do nothing but make the people forced to serve under them miserable, caught in a never ending cycle of violence.

No one won in the fight between Malenia and Radahn, it never should have gotten to that point.
