I did think it was pretty weird that they brought up that the memverse was made from Tartar’s data and then proceeded to do… nothing with that. I really like your idea!

EXACTLY. they hint at it having a big part in things and just?? leave it alone????

like. does smollusk KNOW tartar? or maybe order learned its methods from tartar?? nope. never confirmed. they just mention that his data was used and go back to pretending it simply didn't exist

i need to work on that fic more instead of continuing to rant about this but ack. i could talk about this for hours tbh-

//warning, kind of rant-y//

I keep seeing people getting excited about a splatoon 4 announcement but- and this is just me- it kinda seems too soon for that? Splatoon 3 has been out for less than two years and while I know the switch is near the end of its lifetime and they’re gonna have a new installment for the next console……I feel like it’d be better if they like ported 3 or something? At least for another few years, just since like I said it’s been *less than 2 years of Splatoon 3 being out*

And maybe if you play the game all the time then it’s different but for more casual players, excitement over Splat 4 makes it feel like Splat 3 is over before it even started.

It’s been 1.5 years since the game was released which to me feels like it should be in its prime of updates and events! Like we are literally still getting new maps, songs, weapon kits, etc. (I’m pretty sure they also said we would get all the old maps back, and I’m still waiting for the maps from 2, which idk if those will happen anymore but if so then we still have a ton of content we are getting). It literally feels like Splatoon 3 is only halfway through its lifespan, and people are already moving on. Which is why it seems more like they should port it to the new console for a few more years instead of making a new game.

Plus I’m not gonna buy a new console and game just for splatoon 4 because even though I love this franchise, I don’t have that kind of money, and why should I when we haven’t even had this game for 2 whole years yet? This goes for everyone else too who doesn’t have the money for a new console and $60 game and doesn’t want to get completely left behind as everyone rushes to play Splat 4. Like I haven’t even had time to get tired of the new maps and weapons and stuff yet. It’s not like 3 is dead or anything, or that the franchise is in major need of a new installment. Sure it would be nice to get some more lore or a new solo campaign, but that doesn’t mean I want to move on from 3 immediately.

Idk it just feels like everyone is being WAY premature. We have only had this current installment for like a year and a half. We are still getting new content and even when that stops it doesn’t mean the game won’t be enjoyable for most people. Is it really so much to ask that some of y’all slow down and appreciate the current game we have? I’m not saying you can’t hope for a Splatoon 4 or for more content or anything, but it feels like some of y’all are a bit too quick to discard this game in anticipation of the fourth one, despite the game literally still updating and not even being out for two years 😭

(And yes I’m aware that even if Splatoon 4 is announced this year it will probably be another year before it’s released so that would be 3 years of Splatoon 3, but still, 3 years is kind of early? Not as early as 2 or 1.5 but still a little bit early imo)

been thinking a bit about possible future wakai child again but unsure what to do, bc they could have a biological child the normal way, and i feel like they would want to. but i also feel like aukai would hate being pregnant.

except i just remembered that they're cephalopods and cephalopods have eggs. i fucking win y'all. peace and love on planet earth wakai child is so real

Do you think there’s gonna be another splatoon game evar

i would bet significant money on it. The franchise is very popular and very profitable, side order has shown that they can successfully iterate on the gameplay enough to keep further installments feeling fresh, so theyre not out of new content to make yet. There's already rumors of splat4 dev in the works and I would not be surprised if it was a launch title for whatever the switch's successor console that they're announcing next year will be.

the bigger question: when are those bastards at darkhorse going to put out the splat 3 artbook in english so i can complete my collection

[nephilimbrute]

how come u give pearlie facial hair in some drawings? (no hate, i really like it!)

in some drawings he's just Older. i think when he hits ~30 he starts growing facial hair. which probably means he'll have facial hair by the time splat4 happens

What if we're picking Lil Judd's motivation for being evil.

For anyone out of the loop, it's genuinely no secret that he is the one that has taken over Grizzco after Mr Grizz bit the dust, and that he's probably going to be Splat4's villain. He's gotten fuzzier in 3 (which has a plot about making everyone fuzzy), he represents the "bad guys" when judging turf and anarchy matches, his deck in tableturf consists of salmonid cards (including the Mr. Grizz card), he has concept art with a Grizzco eyepatch on, etc etc.

Congratulations team Past! I literally never encountered any of you for this entire Splatfest, but I guess you guys were just busy juggling team Present like a hacky sack.

To all my fellow team Future members, we did our best, and it was an honour to fight by your side!

I'll see you all again in when we get drafted for the great turf war in splat4!

Splatoon 4 wasn't announced today!

Nintendo if you release a new switch and make Splat4 an exclusive on it and get in my way like that when Splat the First came out and I couldn't get a WiiU I'm gonna hate you with ever atom in my body.

Don't ruin this for me, Salaryboy.

Idolfest sounds terrible because deep cut would not only lose but they beef with everyone.

You are correct

Whatever finalfest theme is, it has to be fair across the board. All themes should be good enough that can work to carry Splat4 game ( if we even get that) also forces deep cut to get more focus instead of naturally

Folks are saying past present and future could be a theme which ehhh chaos and order kinda already plays into those themes.

When ever finalfest is I hope it’s hyped up. Everyone gets costumes to rep their desired theme, hear all previous idols songs. The whole bang
