imagine if marina and pearl were still the main idols for splatoon 3, so it would subvert what most fans expected (which was having new idols each game). theyre still together, happy, and experimenting with new music!

spud you have been very curtious to not posting spoilers but that is not beneficial to the game i am playing so please tell me your favourite thing about deep cut. or else something the ink people eat. i like the culture lore more than the war lore and im seein how much i can remember in the morning. and also mu lets player of choice hasnt completed story mode yet
Okay so I haven't fully gotten all the sunken scrolls yet but it seems like each member of deep cut is from one of the 3 families who apparently saved the splatlands during the big Ole flood event.
Apparently big man's family (the manta clan) eats a unique plankton dish, it's a family recipe. That enhances mind, body, and bodily toxins. And I'm like. Ayo what's that last one? Also the image is really funny cuz big man is holding a wine glass with a silver/white liquid in it.
Just a personal rambling (maybe will be answered at the end of story mode? Idfk.) But what tf does deep cut do with all their money? If doing the anarchy splatcast (the news) is their day job, but their main gig is banditing. Is the whole idol thing a hobby? And they're from (probably) the families who saved the land so they're also probably rich from that so???
The progression thru the games of the idols importance to the universe around them is always so interesting. First the squid sisters, the cousins Callie and Marie don't have all that much aside from the fact their shared grandpa is a well decorated war vet but still ended up becoming very popular solely due to their talent.
Then there's pearl and marina. Pearl is mentioned to come from a wealthy local family, owning some of the locations user for turf wars. While marina is a former member of the octarian army, likely one of their very advanced mechanics as she helped to design the special gimmick maps used during splatfests. So each has their own slight claim to fame, but their music hit off by itself. Along with the fact that in the 5 year gap between splat2 and splat3, they ended up making a band with 3 other creatures (I know ones a fish and one's some level of octopus, but I forget the 3rd. Honestly if u like splatoons culture stuff more than the war lore I'd recommend looking at least a little into the in-universe bands who don't appear in-game)
I have no idea if this is what you were hoping for or nah
Also I love shivers shark, mega master. Or master mega. One of the two. He has a pair of shades that (of course) small enough they don't even begin to reach his eyes. I love that shiver is a bit more batshit than originally expected, she seemed so cool and collected and then suddenly she's maniacally laughing with her back at a 90 degree angle and sticking out a tongue you're pretty sure she canonically isn't supposed to have at you while riding a shark.
