i am of the firm belief that heisenberg can't use a computer cause he'd brick it immediately with magnet powers

Considering his fucking ORGANS are what hold the magnetic field you might just be right

“Tinkers with home appliances (bad habit)” Me too, Marina. Me too.

(I wonder if Pearl has ever walked in on Marina sitting in a pile of deconstructed toasters with an absolutely devastated expression.)

Oh you bet it has happened

Hi! Are your request closed or open at the moment?

They’re open! You’re def free to send requests in if you want :)

My pinned post should say whether theyre open or not though?

but even though my own writing is sparse recently, i’ll still work on requests when i can <3

Yo! Do you happen to have any interesting shots of the trains/train stations? Especially the one at the beginning of Sploon 3, I'd love to get a good look at it. (Are those flying rectangles in some Alterna levels meant to be trains? I can't tell.)

Thanks!!

for sure!! now that i think about it there are a lotta trains in splatoon, so i just took pics of a bunch of them lol

Found this on Twitter, sounds like you lol

omg send me the link of the tweet i wanna see the comments.

Also. TRUE!!!!!!!!!! SO TRUE BESTIE!!!!!!! Everyone gets Pearl, Marina, Shiver, Frye and Big Man correct but not them.

"Callie was kidnapped!"

*shows art of Callie walking towards Octavio's mark and an official relationship chart*

"Oh she was brainwashed!" *shows articles talking about hypnosis and how it's not anywhere near the same thing as brainwashing*

Literally took me five minutes to find sources to disprove it HAHAAHAAH!!!!!!

"Oh but Marie said this!"

Literally only in the English translation btw, not any other languages.

"But Octavio said he remixed her brain!" Not in the original Japanese script and in other scripts btw. Every other script aside from English and Dutch mention hypnosis. Plus he's a DJ, he says musical puns to describe actions. The remixing is implying he got her on his side via manipulation and not direct brain "washing". God.

People really don't care that much about Callie to even look at outside sources, they just see the English script and take it as is because "Callie is silly and Splatoon is silly." Fucking hell man. Not even people who deep dive into timelines, reviewers, NEARLY EVERYONE!

Why do you think people call her HYPNO Callie huh?! What do you think HYPNO stands for? Use the fleshy pink thing in your skull. GOD! DAMN! I know Inkipedia calls her brainwashed Callie and says she was kidnapped sometimes on some of the pages, but that's down to the site being run by multiple people who have different levels of engagement in different areas of Splatoon.

If i come across one more fucking person that calls Callie a dumbass or airheaded for putting the shades back on i will literally throw myself out off of the tallest floor on the god damn Burj Khalifa. Callie was suffering from an addiction and y'all laughed at it because the game poorly presented that idea due to time constraints.

You guys are so lucky I'm not also a massive Marie fan too... I would be doing DOUBLE the ranting.

Do you have any thoughts on the Steelhead mem cake (esp. the Italian, Spanish, Dutch and Japanese versions)? I just think it's odd. Are the translations wonky? Did Agent 8 even actually come into contact with the Salmonids? I know about the trade between Salmonids and Octarians, but I'd like your opinion on this one.

I can't think of mem cakes that ive seen that are particularly "wonky" in terms of translation. translating poetry from one language into another poem with a consistent rhyming scheme while also keeping the main ideas of the original poem sounds INSANELY hard so giving credit where it's due. there's differences naturally, but generally a similar idea is conveyed.

All the mem cakes for steelhead are about love. here's a more direct TL of the japanese mem cake 「キミが好き」　そんなシャケ氏に　だまされて 生み落とされたる　愛のバクダン Such a Salmonid tricked me with an "I love you" and brought forth a bomb* of love

*double meaning? Steelheads are just called "bomb" in jp

Not all of 8's mem cake poems came from personal experience, as some are just based on knowledge 8 gained from reading about the surface in magazines like HaikaraWalker (the in universe version). Did 8 read about salmonids? Or did they meet Salmonids in a way connected to the trade agreement between the species? I think it's open to interpretation

Do you have or would you consider doing a height comparison chart for your splatoon characters? I wanna see them together.

I have this fun little wip that's been sitting in my files for a while, but this is as close of a height chart as I can get!

Near had to switch safe houses in a hurry and leave behind all of his toys! Will you help gather some new ones for him?

(Reblog with a picture of a toy to put it into the box, and if it's cute, I might just draw chibi Near playing with it! ♥)

Agents ask!

What's everyone's least favorite foe to deal with on missions?

(I think I know cap's already is most likely the flooders.....thanks Cuttlefish for putting that in the groupchat-)

Thank you! And this is a really good question!

Their blood is the color of their ink. So basically ink is their blood
