Can’t stop thinking about princess and knight Pearlina.

Pearl is MC Princess, and her Japanese name literally means “princess”. Marina was an elite Octoling soldier. Superficially, they are a princess and a knight.

Personality-wise, though, it’s the other way around. Marina wants to be a storybook princess, atop a tower, waiting for Pearl to rescue her. She wants to be protected, and Pearl wants to protect her, in turn — only ever scared when she fears for Marina’s safety.

Pearl, “MC Princess” from a rich family, aggressively defends and protects her princess Marina without fear, and Marina, once an Octoling soldier, gets to rely on and swoon over her beloved “brave Pearl”. Like…

Do you even get it. Do you even get it…

A new Splatoon relationship chart from the latest issue of Famitsu. Eight is notably absent here.

I’m happy to see another chart but I’m kind of pissed off that there’s nothing connecting Three and Eight together

In one of the eaely floors, where you see all the items being put into cubes for the first time, it's all connected to this giant machine on the roof. Do you think.you could get a closer.look of that? Cause I could swear I see mem cakes inside of the thing.

they are mem cakes! the same mem cake you can see in some of the cubes [:

"anakin would've never turned to the dark side had qui gon lived." utter. bullshit. not only is this particular hot take an insult to obi-wan it completely robs anakin of his agency, because at the end of the day it was anakin's decision to pledge his loyalty to palpatine and to destroy everything that the people he loved held dear. that's what makes anakin skywalker such a compelling character, and as darth vader a tragic and iconic villian... because he did this to himself.

I am dead fucking serious when I say I wish I saw more fat women in public. I want to see fat models. I want to see fat women in department stores getting absolutely HYPE when they find racks and racks of clothing in their size and sizes up, so they too can get the "oversized, baggy fit" like women who fit into smalls and mediums. I want to see fat women wearing crop tops proudly and rocking mad midriff. I want to see fat women trying on clothing for their friends and family and saying "look! it compliments my body shape! it's like it was made for me!" I want to see fat women with "cankles" wearing pretty jingling anklets skipping and jumping just to show them off. I want to see fat women on TV, in magazines, on billboards, in all manner of ads, and in online shop images because I want to see my fucking self and all the women I know who don't see enough of themselves. I want to see fat women living, loving, and being visibly proud of who they are because they are beautiful, WE are beautiful. I want to see fat women because fat women need to see other fat women.

Something kinda small I really like about side order is the amount of scene-specific dialogue voice clips there is. This is absolutely corn plate level stuff but this is my tumblr so I’ll yap about tiny things like this as I please

In octo expansion, outside of a small handful of scenes, majority of the talking sounds are just the same as they are on the news, slightly changing with expression depending on what’s being said as they normally do. If you go and replay/rewatch parts of octo expansion Pearl and Marina’s dialogue gibberish won’t always sound the exact same in the same places as it’s just grabbing randomly from their voice strings with slight variation depending on expression.

There’s a bit more of these scene-specific voice clips in return of the mammalians, though similar to octo expansion they’re still pretty limited to one-time intro or ending type stuff such as Frye’s shouts when deep cut appears in early and late alterna. Side order however’s got a buuunch of these, still mainly in cutscenes but not as limited to just high-action parts of scenes. Majority of the cutscenes in side order will sound the same every time when it comes to the characters talking in them.

(I would’ve put this scene in video here as an example but there’s another video below and tumblr doesn’t like more than one video on posts 💔)

I really like that they did this cause the characters’ voices sound a lot more appropriately expressive for the situations they’re in. Even though they’re saying “sbdbjwsnsbjd” you can still clearly pinpoint a tone of voice, and sometimes the clips will even kinda match with the cadence of the phrase being said/dialogue speed which I think is Pretty Neat

(There’s way more examples of this but again tumblr hates multiple videos)

Also double appreciation here shoutout to every Pearl drone animation ever but this is a post abt voice clips so I’ll relate these things to each other. The scene when Eight and Pearl first find Marina agitando I really like cause along with the scene-specific worried Pearl voice clips they do a great job conveying her distress in her animations even though she’s literally just a sphere with eyebrows and wings

Anyways I don’t know why I wrote this long of a post on the expressiveness of “wsjdncgsgsh” talking sounds but nobody stopped me soooo enjoy the ramblings of someone who likes this game a normal amount

Holy shit I realized I'm in love with storylines where the protagonist isnt the same as the main character

The protag is just the most narratively interesting

Bro

Gabriel's the main character but V1's the protagonist

Ritsu's the main character but Mob's the protagonist

Kabru's the main character but Laios is the protagonist

Woag,,,,,

Hey guys!! We are FINALLY back with a new bracket, this time pitting our biggest interests against each other... introducing

💥THE BRAINROT BRACKET!💥

This first round will have 13 polls with some of our all-time favorite pieces of media, the first 5 being shared interests, the rest being individual (Grim on the left, Lizard on the right)

There was some confusion with our last bracket so we wanted to clarify that the only criteria for these polls is to vote for which one you like over the other!! We'll have silly titles just because we like coming up with any kind of connection between unrelated things, it's what we do

SO, all that being said, we're looking forward to getting this bracket started!! Expect to see the polls tonight (7/1)!! Links to all of the polls will be in the reblog of this post :)

Three (Hundred) Days til Christmas

Logan Crofter's life is wonderfully normal. He's just gotten his bachelor's degree in Astronomy, he's working towards a position with NASA, and he's saving up to go even further in his education. He has a best friend he met at college, Virgil Sweet, and his life is going superbly. When Virgil asks him to come for a trip back to her hometown for the holidays, of course he agrees. But once he's been living the same day for days, he can't help but get more than a little annoyed at the universe. And when all of it is made worse by one of Virgil's childhood friend's bringing his cute twin brother, Roman, well, Logan just doesn't know what to do!

This was my entry for the @tss-storytime Big Bang! You can find the art for it by @lighthousechronicles here! (Link leads to the Tumblr post). This was my first big bang fic, and it's been so much fun working on it these past months. Go check out the other wonderful pieces (written and drawn) from other creators in the Big Bang too!

Also, please forgive this fic being released when it is neither 2023 nor the holiday season. I started writing this back in December of 2023, forgot about it, then signed up for the Big Bang and revived it.
