3 for all agents plz

//Oh weapons- I've never actually talked about their weapons have I huh...

I'll give both their hero weapons and turf weapons-

Captain: When he used to go out on missions would alternate between the hero shot, hero charger and hero roller (Marie and Callie train him respectively) When on the very rare occasion he does take part in turf he'll use the Eliter 4K as it allows him to stay near the back and not engage as much.

Four: Her standard would be the hero shot but she uses all the different hero class weapons depending on the mission. She also has this- fourth wall break ability to just- pull whatever weapon she wants up out of nowhere. Her turf weapon of choice is the Toni Kensa splattershot cause she likes to be a menace.

Eight: He uses the octoshot as it was the weapon he was trained with growing up. In turf he's currently learning how to use the octobrush, but his fall back is his octoshot.

Neo: They use the standard hero shot but does on occasion use the hero charger when necessary. In turf they alternate depending on team comp/their mood but Neo's current favourite to play with is the new mint decavitator.

💯 For bedrock!!!

"💯 - share three random facts about your oc that others may not know."

YAY this is fun!! These are mostly gonna be just mundane little things since I believe that little details that don't really contribute much to any plot are still so so so important to a character, and it's a fun little bitesized thing to get started with!!

The only thing she explicitly and outwardly likes and enjoys are pistachios LMAO. my friend and I came up with it as a funny gag. I imagine it being portrayed similarly to Vitali from Madagascar 3's passion for borscht (skip to like 4:08 in the video)

Early on when she first arrived at Splatsville, the first "real" job she got was actually as a model for the Toni Kensa brand! It has to be noted that she wasn't ever a "famous" model or anything like that, and only true diehard OGs of Toni Kensa would even have a vague memory about her... much to her relief.

Also I made this one up on the spot HAHA but I think it's funny if she's allergic to birds.

I could go on and on making up silly little trivia like this BUT I'll restrain myself for now. Here's art of her in her modelling era!

I am sharing my story to seek your support and help in my campaign to evacuate from Gaza so I can live in peace and continue my education. Please share this post with your friends, family, and anyone who can help. Let us work together to achieve this simple dream of living a safe life and returning to school.

Thank you for your support and care.🙏❤️

With love,

Hala

Half of this theory's been around for ages I'm just adding more but

Is this anything. I know the theory of Toni Kensa (which could easily be short/nickname for Tataki Kensaki, making both canon) and the Squid Sisters being related but.

Is it any coincidence that one of the promo characters literally has the exact same name with the exact same spelling and coincidentally is seen using. A charger (Marie's weapon) in the Direct he was first seen in. I'm gonna call him Saki with this because what else can I do when he refuses to tell me if it's his last name or not

I'm already going too far with this but there's also the fact that he primarily wears greyscaled colours (cough Toni Kensa before the Kensa brand existed). And I've heard people say the hipster cut is a budget Marie cut before. So that's A Thing.

I don't know what's going on and we haven't seen Saki in five years anyway so I don't know why I'm theorising now but I just find it weird that. The family crest on Marie's kimono, Toni Kensa, and now some random kid all share the same name. Especially since S2's main story mode puts this emphasis on family (Callie & Marie). And the fact that everyone who's ever modelled for Kensa has used black ink, implying that Kensa himself probably has black tentacles (like Callie does) or even white ones (like Marie.) and the greyscaled tentacles could easily be a family thing that just happens as you get older. Especially with the family thing since we know it doesn't happen to everyone (Captain 3 doesnt have greyscaled tentacles despite being older now than the Squid Sisters were in S1.) If it's true then that would mean the greyscaling happens around at least 17 years, which explains why S2 Saki has regular colours because he'd be 15-16 at the time (S2 protagonists are two years older than S1 protagonists are.) (I just realised my logic on that one is way off base and they'd actually be around eighteen by S2 but roll with me here. It still works, he'd just be a late bloomer.)

Anyhoo ive been high on this theory for like an entire day now but suffice to say. (1) Saki should've been the protagonist of S2 (2) in my head it's canon that the Squid Sisters, Saki and Toni Kensa are cousins (3) wait that kinda fits because the gaudy pair of black bracelets on Saki's shirt feel very Kensa (4) I'm going insane help.

Having said that, if it is canon that raises the question why didn't Marie directly ask Saki for help with Callie- but she could very well have not wanted to worry him or put him in danger, especially since S2 was kinda his time in the spotlight as a turf war player, especially since that's the one point in the timeline where neither the Squid Sisters nor Toni Kensa were getting attention. Now that I think about it, there's no real confirmation that Cuttlefish's family stopped with Callie and Marie's parents, and them two respectively. For all we know, Saki is Marie's little brother or something like that. For all we know there could even be four cousins to the Kensaki clan instead of the two Squid Sisters.

I'm gonna write a fic based on this actually. Do y'all wanna hear more of my crack theories about the promo kids because I also have one highlighting the fact that (a.) Tof-U and Kensaki seem to be opposing each other a lot (second in command to their leaders and/or killing each other midmatch) and also the fact that Half-Rim and N-Pacer are literally what happens if you give them fanchildren

Yes I am insane

Sorry

[soupywrites]

I don’t know much about Splatoon, but you could write something on your favorite character(s) going through a typical day :4

This one was interesting to tackle. Hope you like it!

OTH: Day Off

Marina awoke to the sound of her own tossing and turning. She rolled over, half asleep, and found herself looking at the face of her girlfriend. Pearl laid there peacefully. I wonder what she’s dreaming about, Marina pondered.

She turned back onto her left side and finally opened her eyes fully. The sunlight was beginning to pour itself into the room through the large window, the curtain barely able to block most of the morning rays. It was seven o’clock, much too early for the sleeping princess on the right.

Marina slowly slipped out of bed and slid on her sandals before making her way out the door and down the hall. She immediately resigned herself to her office; she’d been trying to crack the code on her most recent project for ages. Marina worked well into the afternoon, not once pausing to take a break.

The door to the office made a loud creaking, and a faint shuffling was heard outside. Pearl came into the small, cluttered room, still not fully awake, and sat on the floor next to Marina’s chair. She waited for her girlfriend to acknowledge her, but Marina never did. So, she did the only logical thing, and she pushed aside a stack of papers that rested on the corner of the desk and pulled herself off the floor. Pearl hopped up so she was sitting on the desk and waited. Marina finally looked up from her laptop and she, albeit a bit startled, locked eyes with Pearl. Marina smiled softly, and leaned in to kiss her forehead. Pearl smiled, and then stretched her arms before jumping off the desk.

“C’mon, ‘Rina! You can’t waste the day in your office again!” Pearl determined. “Let’s do something! It’s not often that we have a whole day to just ourselves. No interviews, no autographs.”

“Aww, Pearlie! You know I want nothing more than to spend my day with you, but I really have to get this part done, and…” Marina trailed off, focusing back on her work. Pearl shifted to stand behind her.

“‘Rina, you can’t be serious. Eight is out with Three right now, Callie and Marie are hanging out with Acht. We even convinced Deep Cut to handle the Square’s news so we could take a day,” Pearl shook her head. “You work ALL THE TIME. Don’t think I haven’t caught you working late at night recently. I’ve been cold alone in the bed, ya know!”

Marina smiled sheepishly, almost in a grimace, and then sighed. Closing the lid of her laptop, she swiveled her chair around to fully face Pearl, who had already made her way to the door, leaning against the frame.

“I’m sorry, Princess,” Marina said, looking apologetically at her girlfriend. “You’re right. I suppose I do work quite a bit, and it’s the first day we’ve had in a while where we can be alone. Let me make it up to you.” She rose from her chair and walked over to Pearl. She was almost minuscule compared to Marina, but Marina gently took Pearl’s hands in her own anyway.

“How?” Pearl asked, now smiling.

“Let’s go to lunch. Or, err, a late lunch. Wherever you want.”

“And then what will we do?”

“We can take a walk in the park.”

“That sounds nice.”

“You think so?”

“I do.”

—————————————————————————

Marina went back to the bedroom to change into something more appropriate, and Pearl followed her in, sitting on the bed waiting. Marina emerged from the closet in a light blue dress and black Toni Kensa high-tops. Pearl blushed, slightly embarrassed that she was simply going to go out in her black ripped jeans, Cherry Kicks, and old band tee that she had already been donning.

“Gee, you make me feel so uncivilized sometimes, ‘Rina,” Pearl laughed. “Sometimes I wonder how someone like you ended up with someone like me.”

“What does that mean?” Marina turned to face Pearl.

“You’re just so beautiful, that’s all,” Pearl sighed. “And smart, and talented, and crazy awesome all the time. I’m just, you know, Pearl Houzuki, the short annoying one from the splatcast.” Pearl smiled, but it simply was there to distract from her eyes which held her true feelings.

“Pearlie! You’re not annoying, and you’re smarter and way cooler than I am, alright?” Marina walked over to the bed, almost floating, and held Pearl in her arms. “Nothing will ever change that. I love you.”

“I love you too.”

—————————————————————————

They decided to head to the new Inkopolis Square Crab-N-Go for lunch, taking their food outside and sitting at one of the more isolated tables. Marina and Pearl got a “Marigold’en Garden Greens” to share.

“Ya know, I never can wrap my head around how you think that tastes good,” Pearl teased, pointing at Marina’s “Salty Melon Special.”

“It’s the perfect blend of salty and sweet,” Marina nodded. “Kinda like you.”

Pearl looked down at her “Smoothie Especial” and smiled to herself.

—————————————————————————

Hand in hand, the pair walked down the pathway in the park, taking in the scenery. Other Inklings and Octolings were taking strolls, but the two only noticed each other. Marina dragged Pearl over to a pond where small fish were darting left and right.

“Isn’t it so pretty? How can something so dangerous be so beautiful?” Marina sighed, crouching down next to the water.

Pearl, arms crossed, stood above Marina and nodded. “Kinda like you, huh?”

Marina, flustered, turned around to look at Pearl and smiled. “Aww, Pearlie!”

Pearl helped Marina off the ground, and they continued walking.

—————————————————————————

Back at their home, Marina laid her head on Pearls lap as the two watched the Deep Cut splatcast, the sun setting in the west.

“You lip-sync, we drip ink!”

“Ay, ay, ay!”

The idols’ voices could be heard throughout the room.

“You know, they’re doing pretty great for newbies,” Pearl stated.

“Yeah, they’re all great! I know we have a kind of rivalry with them, but I’m glad we can all still be friendly,” Marina said happily.

“So, Shiver, have you heard the new Off The Hook song?” Frye rocked back and forth on her pillow.

Shiver bowed in thought, and then turned to face Frye. “‘We’re So Back,’ right?”

Marina shifted so she was sitting upright, eyes glued to the TV. Pearl simply sat back, crossing her arms over her chest in preparation for judgement.

“Yep, that’s the one! Everyone was getting HYPED this past splatfest now that they’re back from their world tour.”

“Ay! Ay? (I quite enjoyed the song! How about you two?)” Big man chimed in.

“It definitely wasn’t as good as us,” Frye said, almost teasingly, like she knew Marina and Pearl were watching. “But it was still pretty great! What about you, Shiv?”

“Here we go,” Pearl muttered.

Shiver closed her eyes and then smiled. “After ‘Suffer No Fools,’ I bet you all think I’m going to bash Off The Hook. But you’re wrong! ‘We’re So Back’ was the best song I’ve seen come out of Pearl and Marina in a while. At the very least, it has my approval.” She tapped her fan on the kendai.

“No way!” Pearl was standing now, having jumped up when she heard Shiver’s compliment.

“Can we just take a moment to give a shout out to Inkopolis Square? It’s been fun repping you guys today, too!” Frye said. “And also, to Off The Hook, hope y’all are having a great day!”

“And that’s it…for now.”

“Ay! (Let’s get outta here!)”

“From Splatsville, and Inkopolis, that’s a wrap.”

All three stood up. “Catch ya later!”

With that, Deep Cut disappeared from the screen, leaving the cooking program that had been on running in the background. Pearl was stunned, and Marina pulled her back onto the couch.

“Ohmg Pearlie! They liked our song!” Marina was practically singing.

“Yeah, if I’m being honest, I’m kind of surprised.”

“Maybe this means we can all just be friends now?” Marina was excitedly rambling now, talking about future songs and events.

“Maybe,” Pearl smiled.

—————————————————————————

Marina fell asleep lying on Pearl on the couch; it was already ten o’clock. Pearl, still wide awake, sat and mentally planned out their day tomorrow. Splatcast at eight, two hours of band work, another splatcast at ten, Eight and Acht come to the studio for two hours, another splatcast at twelve. Pearl sighed. It’s all just ink and repeat, she thought.

Pearl, who is much stronger than she looks, managed to carry Marina to the bedroom, setting her in the bed. Turning the lights off, Pearl smiled at her sleeping girlfriend, and she then hopped in the bed herself. However, she couldn’t stop thinking about what Shiver had said, and how happy it made Marina. Pearl made a mental note to thank Deep Cut tomorrow for taking over the splatcast today, and she fell asleep content with her day.

What features do you think are attractive to inklings?

Different or unusual features to what we would assume, but mostly focused around the tentacles because they're a very major identifier. Long and thick tentacles definitely (and mostly traditionally, because nowadays people love to cut theirs), as they signal good health and especially long tentacles mean you're good enough at avoiding getting tagged by predators that you haven't lost any. Basically, if you asked an old person, they would be very upset and confused that The Youth (TM) are cutting their beautiful tentacles off. On the flipside though, short tentacle styles and external scars are pretty popular in the modern day because they signal a sense of "damn, this squid is pretty wild". And even historically, that does also mean "hey, this squid's seen a lot of fights and they've lived through them!" Which is just as good or even better than just "this squid has managed to avoid hardship", depending on who you ask.

Bright and saturated tentacles, preferably neon-colored, are universally attractive because how vibrant your tentacles are is a very good indicator of health, similar to... a lot of colorful animals, basically. Typically inklings who struggle with health issues or malnourishment will have less saturated tentacles that can appear dry or ashy, but even with tentacles like that, you can make pastel colors work very well. And again, something like Toni Kensa's monochromatic tentacle colors are not something that's traditionally attractive, but it draws in a specific crowd of people who find the unusual "color" choice interesting and cool because it goes directly against the usual norm. On the coolness scale, people who wear dark tentacles usually attract the crowd that's drawn to edginess and mystery, whereas bright and neon tentacles signal openness and come off as inviting.

Of course in terms of not just physical traits, Inklings likely find confidence, agility, dexterity and overall battle prowess very attractive: turf wars are only THE big thing after all so if you do super well, you're going to be extremely popular. Even if you're kind of an asshole. There's a freshness factor to just being really talented, and a lot of Inkling teens tend to be kind of shallow. They just want to be fresh, man, and they want to get to know all the fresh people.

Other than that, what Inklings actually find attractive really depends on the individual and probably the species, so different inklings are looking at different things. Symmetrical tentacles, aesthetically pleasing tentacular club sucker geometry, good ink efficiency... whatever, those are details. But different Inkling species definitely focus on things that no one else even thinks about, for example firefly squid would be looking into photophore arrangements and how strong somebody can glow, while humboldt squids might be more interested in the size and symmetry of their sucker claws.
