[haxardouswaste]

i can only draw him either pissed off or smiling like a devious bastard

[myxineye]

preview of my ω-3 spread for @splatbandszine!! preorders are currently open until april 1st :D

[omega-3-official]

[@inkopolitianphotographeranemoia]: would yall ever consider bringing back the grandfest big run tunes at some point? i mean i prefer bait & click over double clickbait personally but that doesnt mean it didnt slap

GOOD QWSTIN.

DOUBLE CLICK BAIT WAS MADE TO BE A MOKRY OF THE DEEP CUTS SPLATFEST MUSIC, WHICH OL FART OVER HERE SAID WAS 'OUTRAGIOUS' AND THAT 'WE COULD DO BETTER'. I LEARNED HOW TO PLAY TROMEBONE, FLUTE, AND CLARINENT FOR SAMPLES THAT WE USED IN THE SONG.

I THINK WE SHOULD BRING IT BACK FOR IF WE CRASH A DEEEP CUT CONCERT, SOMTHING I WANT TO DO. ITS A SPECIAL REMIX OF BAIT & CLICK, AND SO IT SHOULD BE USED FOR SOMETHING SPECIAL. MAYBI WE CAN CRASH A SPLATFEST, THA TWOULD BE FUN. NOT A WEEK BEFORE, BUT DE ACTUAL SPLATFEST. KICK DEEP CUT OFF DE STAGE AND BLAST OUR BETTER MUSIC.

BASICALLY WE SHOULD TOTALY BRNG IT BACK, WE JUST HAVE NOT FIGRED WHEN OR WERE

OL FART TELNG ME TO GET OFF CHUMBLR WILE WE PERFORM.

INSANE POST BUT IM GOING CRAZY THEY RELEASED VIDEO FOOTAGE OF THE OMEGA-3 CELLIST THIS IS NOT A DRILL

[reporpoisedphantasies]

Omega 3 being ordinary fish people. Because everyone deserves a little break from things

(Bonus Timpani redesign because I hate his canon one <3)

I headcanon their names as Chickory (timpani), Dill (Cellist) and Plum (dj) btw. Food names for the win

[c365]

I think it would be cool if omega-3’s music in the future incorporated extended/unconvential techniques on the cello

It will torture the live cellist :) but the omega 3 cellist would love it. I believe excessive use of extended techniques is truly the epitome of radical music

Examples: subharmonics, microtones, “silent” fingering, col legno, sul ponticello, sul tasto, scordatura tuning, bowing on tailpiece, slapping/knocking/rubbing the cello, sliding a piece of paper behind the strings to create a rattling sound, plucking behind left hand on fingerboard, glissando harmonics (this one is my favorite. It’s been used to imitate a seagull, which would be quite fitting for salmon run’s setting)

[fearranger-art]

Working out some designs for my Splatoon OCs, and here's the first of the bunch that's done! Scrap A.K.A The Grand Child of Coraline, the Splatter of Newinkshire! He's a Salmonid who was lost from a Run at a young age like Lil Buddy, and nowadays he's the engineer/cellist of his friend group/band! Imagine a Cohock but with a massive two-handed wrench instead of a frying pan.

Fun Fact: He chose both of his names, but the Salmonid name was inspired by Omega 3's cellist! Coraline refers to one of his adoptive mothers.

[surveillance-0011]

oh geez uh uh any w-3 headcannons????

Yes many tee hee.

Most of these r new/havent said before but I will repeat some for sake of not having to rummage thru tags. ANd the ones rotting in my drafts. Sorry for length i am. not normal about these fish

DJ (they/he?) is nicknamed Faith, and with the og japanese name this nickname would be Chu(ji)

Timpanist (he/it) is nicknamed Val, jpnese version would be Oo(shiki) or just Midori bc that's a bit more presentable name

The Cellist (they/she/he). Uh. I don't have a set nickname for them I usually just call them The Cellist/ cellisake I think they'd be okay with being referred to as that too. I've also called them Algin even tho that's technically not who they are... I've seen Blade as a nickname for them but something like Jr or Kid in reference to the whole "First Child" thing could work. Idk I'm indecisive ig they have a lot of nicknames

They are all ND

The Cellist and Faith started the band and Val joined soon after. Perhaps it makes more sense for it to be the other way around but I feel like with the Cellist being stubborn and more out there with their ideas that they'd initially forgo a more traditional instrument until they realized something was missing.

Val and Faith live together. The Cellist lives alone, maybe nextdoor w/ a lil pulley system between the two houses. Houses made during the Salmon Run are not really meant to be long term so this was meant to be a temporary arrangement to streamline their work but as you can see it's been some time.

Faith finds this nice, they were pretty much homeless and just couch surfing pre omega 3 and ended up moving in w/ one of them in their permanent ocean residences and they decided for the Salmon Run to keep a similar idea

Faith likes a lot of urban, cool culture. Streetwear, graffiti, hip hop and break-dancing... etc etc. They're also very tech savvy. Preferred genres r edm/techno, rap +rnb and punk...

Val enjoys an active lifestyle. Into travel, camping, fishing and more outdoorsy things, working hard, eating well, taking part in festivities and trying to give back to the community when he's not too caught up in his own stuff. Likes traditional salmonid music a lot but also pretty big on grunge and nu-metal

The Cellist likes reading and interacting with art that is like. "good enough" for him. Most of it is confusing or dreary. Likes coffee in the morning and maybe a small glass of scotch on a lonely evening. And being right. As for genres he'll go for whatever he thinks is groundbreaking in specific songs mostly regardless of genre.. but I feel he'd like rock. Probably post punk and more experimental stuff? Maybe folk and some classical music... idk idk!!! If anything it's mostly stuff like Trout Mask Replica...

The Cellist does however claim to not like pop music. This is usually not a lie but. She does actually like some of the Squid Sister's songs maybe even some stuff from OTH or C-Side. She would rather die than admit this.

I do feel like if any of them had to choose a favorite band of the ones we know DJ would choose Dedf1sh or Sashimori maybe C side.. Val would go for bottom feeders and Cellist would say uhh ink theory may be.. it’s good jazz music

Also uh Splatfest teams!

Faith: Scissors, Grub or Fun, Grass, Sweet, Milk Chocolate, Aliens, Gano- Power. and Vanilla!

Val: Rock, Gear, Fire, Spicy, Dark Chocolate, Nessie, Courage, Strawberry

Cellist: Paper, Grub, Water, Sour, White? or Dark. Bigfoot, Wisdom, Mint ChocoChip

They have all physically fought on multiple occasions. There's been at least one near breakup too

The Cellist's dorsal/hair fin is greying, their coloration is also a bit warmer than other salmonids

Val is not completely blind it its injured eye but its vision is fucked. It's also sensitive to light and sensation which is a major reason for the eye patch

They all respect each other as musicians and people and deep down they all care but they really do argue a lot. They're not really people who blend well together at all. DJ rebels against all that is mainstream and all they don't like and even stuff they're more neutral on for the hell of it. They kindof think they're cool for being a jackass but theyve also just become very callous bc they didnt have a choice when they were younger... and they kind of feel like they're still on the defense. Esp since the other two are more experienced and older and tend to treat him like a kid sometimes esp the cellist...

Val means well but he often struggles to take others into account. He's very goal oriented, a one-way track sort of guy who often acts more than a little clueless or even selfish. Not as petty or stubborn as the Cellist but he's got a lot of inertia. That and he's just... kind of shit at socializing in ways that don't piss other people off. Says a lot of accidentally insensitive stuff too. Comes off pretty intense to some as well!! And the Cellist. Well. Stubborn, emotionally repressed, physically and verbally clumsy... they are also a very sensitive person with a lot of emotional empathy where they kind of sponge up whatever vibe they feel, but they don't quite have the ability to act on what they think would make things right!

So yeah they fight a lot between these clashing personalities that bring out the worst in each other and other creative differences. The stress of the job adds to it!

Faith has an older sister. Val has two older brothers and many younger siblings. The Cellist is an only child which is uncommon in salmonid society

Faith is a Goldie, at least partially so. Val is a cohock from a family of steelheads and Big Shots and is extra durable bc of this. The Cellist is a Maws or meant to be one... he either did not complete training or retired due to his clumsiness...

All of them have healthy appetites esp Val and the Cellist

Val and the Cellist have both been in different bands before. Val was in a rock band that only lasted a summer when he was like 17-18 and then was part of a traditional salmonid music ensemble for a couple years before ω-3

As for the Cellist they’ve been through a couple different musical groups. They left most due to creative differences and not getting along with band mates.

This is the DJ’s first like. Band. Before this they just did solo gigs and posted stuff online

[neomagicstar]

YESSSS ITS THEM I LOVE THEM

OMEGA-3 MY BELOVED LJHAGJHFASKJFHDJH YOU DREW THEM SO WELL!! THEY HAVE SO MUCH CHARACTER TO THEM TOO!!

LOOK AT THE CELLIST. HE'S SO HAPPY TO BE PLAYING HIS CELLO. HIS SOURCE OF JOY. HE'S SO WHIMISICAL AND JOYOUS.

ω-3

[the-rookinator-3000]

you've recovered from your splatband obsession well I HAVEN'T!!! 🫡 i'll go crazy over that salmon music ANY DAY of the week!!! i LOVE that cellist and percussionist and dj combining to form the world's WORST beats!!!

(fun fact... did you know that ω-3 (omega-3) is the name of a fatty acid found in fish, particularly salmon? pretty fitting for the game's only salmon band! a lot of the fish enemies are named after actual salmon, like chinooks, coho, steelheads... (trails off into the abyss about salmon run))

though as far as the actual idols go... i can't say i really care for any of them very much to be honest. i think they're neat characters and they're all very fun personalities with great designs! but that's about it. i do really appreciate off the hook and i wish they got more recognition throughout the games, though... those two are just so goofy together

(big man has not earned my trust yet. i feel he is hiding secrets from me. very fishy secrets 🐟)

YEAH omega-3 is a universally liked splatband!!! i just think theyre very rad AND funny too.. their names... ehehehehahaah

ALSO YES SALMON RUN!! I 1000000 MILLION PERCENT LOVE THAT MORE THAN STINKY TURF AND RANKED... i wished they would give player xp for playing salmon run ngl.. i used to spend a lot of my time in splatoon 2 wasting away at salmon run cuz i was afraid of pvp / losing streak...

salmon run is awesome! the concept art of salmon run including dinos was actually. very funny

also.

im unfollowing you over ur opinion on the splat idols actually. wrong opinion. WRONG opinion.

[scithemodestmermaid]

i dont know what my betta will look like when i finally get him, but i do know his name will be Alkyne.  As in the Omega-3 cellist, “The First Child of Alkyne, the Hidden Blade of Yakiharas.”

and Alkyne is going to have a great habitat

[haxardouswaste]

i love drawing omega-3 bc i look back at how they actually look in the games and i give myself fucking whiplash

[rassicas]

I found a thing! It turns out that the two out of the three names featured in the titles of Omega-3’s band members are actually the names of salmon-based dishes. In “The First Child of Algin, the Hidden Blade of Yakiharas” (the cellist), Yakiharas comes from yakiharasu, or scorched salmon belly. In “The Loyal Servant of the True Salmon King, Hizunamasu” (the DJ), Hizunamasu is a Japanese dish made of thinly sliced salmon head cartilage and daikon season with vinegar. I don’t know what Algin could be, but it probably comes from Algae. What do you think? Take care!

...honestly surprised i didnt talk about or even think to look into the meanings of the titles of the members of omega 3 in my band lore video, despite doing that for most other splatoon band members! the hizunamasu one i def remember stumbling upon recently when going thru a dictionary trying to find a title for one of my salmonid OCs, dont think i knew the yakiharasu one tho (not surprised that it is yet another salmon dish lol) youre right on the money with algin coming from algae, this is what the dictionary yielded

[omega-3-official]

     ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

I hit 7k recently after losing almost 1.5k followers when I converted to a Reylo blog (not sorry in the slightest) and decided it was time to finally compile some of the INCREDIBLE fanfics that I’ve read since joining the fandom in December. 

I’m constantly impressed by the talent around here and I'm so grateful to love a ship that has some of the most amazing content I’ve ever seen. The creators in this fandom are second to none. I’m so thankful for all they do and all that they give to us. 

Please keep never stop sharing your gifts. <3 

**Note: Most (pretty much all) of these are rated E. 

Without further ado, here are (some of) my favorite stories: 

The Jedi Path  by SouthsideStory | 19k | E | I am such a sucker for Jedi Academy Ben and Rey. It’s everything I never knew I needed, and this fic is a beautiful rendition. If you know me at all, you know that I devour Angst with a Happy Ending stories, and this is no exception to that rule.

Exile by Ernzo | 22k | E | Oof. This one hurts. Leia sends Rey to the planet where Ben is exiled. It’s angsty and sad and cathartic in every way. I’ve read it dozens of times. 

Before the Saber Swings by @waterlilyrose​ | 28k | M |  Fuck. When I tell y’all that this story fucked me up, I mean it from the bottom of my s o u l. It stayed with me for days. I literally couldn’t get it out of my head. It felt so real to me that I was in physical pain while reading it. I also made an AU gifset of the fic with a quote from Buffy because I’m extra and love pain. 

penitence by @bettsfic​ | 16k | M | Look, Betts is one of my favorite fanfiction authors of all time. Her Bellarke works are some that I’ve read dozens of times and I was fucking ecstatic when I found out she also writes Reylo. This is an A+ TROS fix-it that is lovely and soft and sweet. 

The Writings of Ben Solo by BurnedStars777 | 39k | E | This was recced to me by the fabulous @galacticidiots​ and is just a fantastic story all around. Rey finds Ben’s journal whilst stuck on a planet with Kylo Ren and she (eventually) connects the dots. Rey falling in love with Ben sight unseen? Here. For. it.  find a thread to pull, and we can watch it unravel by again_please | 17k | E | A fantastic post-TLJ story with angsty and broody Ben and just some all around quality smut. I devoured this and have read it multiple time since. 

We Could Plant a House, We Could Build a Tree by @likeadove​ | 124k | E | I will probably never stop reading this fic. It’s such a beautiful coming of age story for Rey and her relationship with Ben as she grows up is just... gah. It’s fantastic. Please read it.    

Soul Searching by OptimisticBeth | 205k | E | Soulmates AU where Ben is Rey’s teacher? Sign me the fuuuuck up, and Soul Searching is so fucking well written. I go back to this one every few weeks and just gush at how great the world building is. I love the relationship Rey has with Leia and Han. It’s rich with love and angst and fluffffff. So good. 

Coveted by OptimisticBeth | 82k | E | WIP | OptimisticBeth is just an incredible writer, so you should honestly read all of her stuff, but I am so, so, so into this fic. It’s A/B/O and Ben’s Rey’s pack leader. He, along with a bunch of other Alphas are trying to court Rey, a highly desired Omega. It’s so fucking delicious, y’all. Alpha Ben Solo is just...it doesn’t get much better. 

A Treehouse Covered in Salt by violethoure666 | 34k | E | This fic made me cry my eyes out. I’m not kidding. It’s so raw and real. It hurts to read at some points, but you care so much about Ben and Rey in this that you fight through the pain. They grow up together as neighbors and Han builds them a treehouse where they meet throughout their childhoods/teen years. Prepare to cry but also be so fulfilled and satisfied. It’s wonderful. love it when you call me lover by @kylotrashforever​​ | 66k | E | WIP | First, let me say that anything by KTF is going to be gold. These fics I have listed are just a few of my favorites at the moment. Lover is hot as fuck (as is all of her stuff) but also fluffy in the best way. It’s in Sadsville right now so I’m fucking PUMPED for her to update. Ben’s a doctor who basically gives Rey a sexual awakening when he proves her statement of “I just don’t think I can come from (insert sexual act here)” very, very wrong.  

mountain at my gates by @kylotrashforever​ | 26k | E | More A/B/O goodness. Omega Rey’s car breaks down on a mountain. Ben is a mountain man Alpha. You can probably guess what happens from there. *fans self* 

take me to church by @kylotrashforever​ | 26k | E | I love this story so much. Ben is the pastor’s son at the church Rey grows up in. They start hooking up in secret and are terrrrrrible at communicating with each other which leads to angst. But it’s so sweet and soft while also being super hot. I love this Ben and Rey so much. 

Your Pretty Little Heart by @ever-so-reylo​ | 64k | E | The A/B/O Reylo bible, I feel like. They’re doctors and he’s a grumpy as fuck Alpha. Shenanigans ensue. And by shenanigans I mean a lot, a lot, a LOT of sex. 

The Food of Love by @lovesbitca8​ | 60k | E | Y’all. If you haven’t read this yet, please stop what you’re doing and read it RIGHT NOW. I ate this fic up in one sitting because holy SHIT it’s amazing. It’s so well written and the story is just... absolutely exquisite. Ben is cellist that’s also a famous rockstar and Rey’s an up and coming violinist and they fall in loOOoOOve in the best, most angsty, sexiest way. Please just read it right now. The scene when she firsts goes to his apartment and plays one of his cellos............you guys. It’s a lot.

Already Home by AttackoftheDarkCurses | 81k | E | This is soulmates + A/B/O so naturally I am obsessed with it. Rey gets connected with her soulmate via a website and he’s going by the name Kylo Ren. At the same time, she’s also moving in with grumpy librarian Ben Solo. She falls in love with both but has no idea that they’re the same person. It’s INCREDIBLE. 

Tangled but Unbroken by AttackoftheDarkCurses | 20k | M | I read this the other night and it’s so fucking soft. I am such a fucking sucker for growing up together fics and this is just such top quality. The braiding kills me every goddamn time. Also, I’m making my way through all of Attack’s works right now and they’re all incredible. Highly recommend. 

Dear Mr. President by @shmisolo​ | 89k | E | I love this Ben so much. The characterization is so on the money. The angst is absolutely delicious. The smut is top brass. Oh, and did I mention they’re soulmates? It’s everything you need, I promise. 

Good Day, Professor by @faequeentitania​ | 38k | E | One of the best Professor Solo fics out there. I’m such a sucker for age difference fics. Of course there’s angst, who do you think I am? 

Embers by sciosophia | 34k | E | Breaking up/getting back together fics are some of my favorites and this one is fantastic. The pining with these two is ridiculous. You just want to smush their faces together. It’s a beautiful love story. 

Reclaimed by @bettsfic​ | 14k | E | Ughhhhhhhhhh, Reclaimed. I am so in love with Reclaimed. Alpha Ben adopts Omega Rey after she’s rescued from this terrible Alpha that held her captive for most of her life. She doesn’t talk and Ben has to help her learn to be a human being and not just a subservient Omega. This Ben is the Ben of my dreams. No contest. 

the following are all written by  @kylorenvevo​. please read them all if you haven’t already. 

landscape with a blur of conquerers | 362k | E |  Y’all know this shit is fire. It’s basically the bible. If you haven’t read this yet, consider this as me yelling at you to do it NOW.   

like young gods | 84k | T | fuck, the Sword of the Jedi series is incomparable when it comes to in-universe fics. I cannot begin to express how much I love this story. It’s so soft and intense and sad. Like, gut wrenchingly sad. Ben senses Rey on Jakku when she’s six and he and Luke take her back to the Jedi Academy. She grows up with Ben. 

to kingdom come | 145k | M |  The sequel to Like Young Gods. I’m not gonna spoil much here, but just know I cried through most of this fic. I downright SOBBED at the end. It’s gorgeous and I will never stop rereading it. The love these two have for each other... it’s unreal. 

i kill giants  | 34k | E | WIP | The TROS fix-it we all need. Ben is alive and finds Rey on Tatooine. It’s soft and Thea does a great job of soothing so many of the gaping wounds we were left with after TROS. My heart soars every time I read a new chapter. This is what we deserved. :( 

the heartbreak prince | 58k | E | WIP |  Harry Potter AU. Professor/student. Size kink. Virginity kink. ANGST. All the good things life has to offer. Professor Solo is fucking filthy in this and I (along with Miss Niima)  am here 👏 for 👏 it. 

place the moon at my eyes (and her whiteness shall devour)  | 29k | E | Another breakup/get back together fic that I absolutely adore.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Thank you to everyone that’s been so kind and welcoming to me the past couple of months! I love this fandom and its energy and enthusiasm and how much everyone seems to care for each other. I hope that I can continue to create content for you forever <3
