Twitter is slowly becoming Miiverse, so I made some Splatoon idols (and bonuses) as "Yeah!" buttons! Feel free to use these wherever y'all want!

Like, I know the "Salmonid scourge" note probably refers to all of the Grizzco workers due to their egg stealing but the image of Agent 4 being an absolute menace during shifts and becoming infamous in Salmonid Society is hilarious 🤣

Quick PSA

Note: Drizzler itself isn't as important but the torpedo's are.

Of course it depends on the situation and weapons, but do your best to take them out. FYI taking out a single Flyfish basket does make them shoot less missiles so it helps a lot if you can't get both

In which Cress encounters some unwanted visitors.

this is a comic idea that has been tormenting me since march, but in august I finally started to make it real. very self indulgent, i'd been wanting to have cress forced to Kill as a part of his story for many years now though. hehe

The events of this story take place before Big Runs have started. Cress has never worked at Grizzco. Why is he being targeted by Salmonids...? That is the mystery... lots of worldbuilding thought went into this btw. i am open to questions. *folds hands together*

credit to my pal @roachgore for helping out with: - layouts on a couple pages/panels that i Struggled to envision (this is one of the hardest parts of comics for me) - grayscaling on pages 7-9 - sfx text on 7 and 8 - all the blood. he wanted to do it of course

my favorite things about salmonids is their naming conventions because you could have a salmonid named Steel Warrior of Blood and Visera and it'd look like this

Saw they had a salmonid page from the recent official previews of the new art book, I had to draw it.......... they looked so happy, I hope they all enjoyed their meal of baby shrimp things

It's been exciting seeing the progress in removing old dams like those on the Klamath and other PNW rivers. However, it's not as simple as deciding this particular dam is no longer useful and then removing it. Removal requires time and money, and unfortunately there is sometimes pushback from community members or business entities.

Removal is worth the effort, though. Allowing a river to run naturally restores crucial salmon habitat and cools the water--critical changes in the face of climate change's ever-rising temperatures. And many dam removals directly benefit indigenous people, who have been leading the effort for dam removal in the Pacific Northwest.

This is why it's more important than ever to push decision-makers to opt for dam removal, to include allocating funding and other resources. As this summer's record-breaking temperatures across North America show, salmon and other living beings in and around these rivers need all the help they can get, as soon as possible.

hello! first time ‘asking’ and i’m sorry it’s an odd one :(

but, in regards to people in-game saying things like “throw me to the Salmonids and i’ll come back pregnant!” i’ve heard someone call it beastiality before and i want to know if that would be the proper term for it? asking you since you’re the only Salmonid rights activist [???] i’m aware of. once again, sorry

i wouldn't call it anything, salmonids are people in the splatoon world. they just live an amphibious lifestyle and have a vastly different culture. i will defend the fish fuckers.

classic rules of monsterfucking apply

Settle In with the Sockeye Salmon

The sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka), also known as the red salmon, or the blueback salmon, is one of thirteen species of salmon endemic to the north Pacific Ocean. In their juvenile years they live in the open sea, but as fresh hatchlings and adults they can be found in freshwater rivers and streams. However, the subspecies known as the kokanee salmon are trapped in landlocked lakes and do not migrate as other sockeye salmon do. When migrating, the species can venture well inland to western North America and portions of eastern Asia, including Japan, Russia, and parts of Siberia.

Like most salmon, the sockeye is most famous for its lifecycle. It is an anadromous species, meaning that individuals migrate based on their life state. Newly hatched fry emerge from nests laid in the beds of freshwater systems, and spend their first 1-3 years before moving downstream to the ocean. There, they spend another 4-5 years in schools of up to several hundred, before they reach sexual maturity.

Beginning in July, mature adults begin the great migration back to the area in which they spawned. Once they reach their breeding grounds, males form into strict heirarchical groups and begin to court the available females. Meanwhile, each female digs a shallow nest in the riverbed and lays her eggs. Her chosen male partner-- or several-- lays a cloud of sperm over the eggs. A male may fertilize several nests before he dies; the female perishes soon after. The eggs, laid in clutches of up to 200, take approximately 40 days to hatch, at which point the cycle begins again.

As juveniles living in the ocean, red salmon are somewhat unremarkable. They have long, torpedo-shaped bodies that are generally silvery blue in color, sometimes with dark speckling. Individuals retain this coloring until well into their journy as adults, where males and females begin to significantly diverge. At their peak, adults may be anywhere from 60 to 84 cm (2 ft 0 in – 2 ft 9 in) in length and weigh from 2.3 to 7 kg (5–15 lb), with males being somewhat larger than females. Both males and females also change color; the head turns green, while the body turns bright red, although the color change is more striking in males. Finally, the shape of the male changes drastically, with the mouth becoming more hooked and the body growing a large hump.

Unlike other salmon, both adults and juvenile O. nerka feed throughout their lives. Fry and ocean-bound juveniles feed mainly on copepods and other zooplankton, while migrating adults also consume larger insects and invertebrates. Young blueback salmon are vulnerable to predation from larger fish such as lake trout, squawfish, and mountain whitefish, as well as larger invertebrates and frogs. Individuals living in the ocean are less predated upon, although they can still be caught by larger animals such as seals, sea lions, and sharks. Terminal-stage adults are large, easy targets and are consumed by a range of species; most namely bears and large birds such as gulls and eagles.

Conservation status: The IUCN considers the sockeye salmon to be of Least Concern. However, the species is listed on the United States Endangered Species Act. Populations have declined significantly throughout its range, largly due to overfishing, habitat degredation and the destruction of their breeding grounds.
