Okay okay- Agent ships- which is most popular- I wanna know cause- I wanna know

Like- I've seen so many talk about each of these pairings but I can never figure out which of these is actually the most popular so

Personally I've grown very fond of Agent 96 myself but like- I can't do it with my Agents cause 3 and 4 are brother and sister lol- So I live that ship out vicariously through others Agent 96 instead-

"callie cuttlefish and all the octolings/octarians were mind cont-"

If Octo Expansion was a person i would kiss them on the lips for giving more to the Octarians and disproving the stupid claims that "Octarians are all mind controlled and brainwashed by Octavio."

Literally that dlc as well as the sunken scrolls from Splatoon 1 and 2 explain that Octarians are a struggling race on the brink of collapse. Octavio uses music as a tool to motivate Octarians, not fucking control them. Acht is right there to disprove it, they weren't brainwashed or mind controlled, they didn't wanna join the army.

Octavio had to pick to either let his people die, or do the really tough and bad decisions that he did like raising child soldiers and manipulating Callie to join his side. He's not pure evil, he made mistakes and he tries to fix them by the end of Splatoon 3. And i hope he continues to rectify those errors in Splatoon 4 before he eventually passes away due to old age.

Octo Expansion takes the black and white thinking of "Octarians bad, Inklings good" and turns it gray WHICH IS GOOD! IT'S SO MUCH MORE COMPLEX! The interactions between Cuttlefish, Agent 8 and Marina have so much racial undertones and themes to them, it's so well done. Hell look at Agent 8's main skin color that they use in all marketing material. They did it on purpose to tell the story that they wanted to tell. Marina's skin color was picked on purpose as well, they knew what they were doing and what themes they wanted to explore in this franchise. Splatoon 1 to 3 was about black and white thinking and how truly damaging it is. That was the main underlying theme of the "Splatoon saga." Splatoon 3 was the finale to that saga as Octolings and Inklings are finally living together in harmony and don't care about superficial traits anymore. Something that some people in the community need to learn....

People trying to ruin this depth and make it a simple black and white tale because "it's a kids game series made by Nintendo" makes me really mad. Guess who made those stories? ADULTS! NOT KIDS! ADULTS!!!!!!!! It applies to Callie too but i digress. Sorry if it was a bit scattered, I'm just so passionate about this that I'm on the brink of exploding lol.

Man, looking back at the first version of the icon, it's crazy that it was drawn over a year and a half ago. These agents have come so far in terms of art style and the story barely even started.

But FINALLY! I'm finally done with the more big shot things, so hopefully activity could soon return to the blog, thanks for sticking around everyone!

Hope we'll see each other again soon, and with that

Catch you all later!

honestly the only thing i wish now since team past won is that we don't get a great turf war game.

A more past based aesthetic sounds inherently cooler for a game no matter what people say.

I think i was being a little too harsh and mean towards Team Past and I was riding the high of the Grand Fest....

At the end of the day, what makes Splatoon's world so special is that it's world follows our time, a year passes in our world, a year passes over there. Stopping the timeline would be a bad idea and I think the developers know better. I have faith in them.

I dont think we're gonna get a great turf war game because Splatoon 4 was most likely already in pre-production before the Grand Fest, and they are just choosing what aesthetic to wrap the game in. They probably have a bunch of storylines planned out too and now they can get to work on the next game. That's just how game development works, especially Nintendo ones where gameplay is first and story is second.

The results of the final Splatfest of each game do make an impact but not THAT big of an impact. Callie vs. Marie decided who was gonna play the villain role in the next hero mode as they already placed down the set up for that story line in the songs Tide Goes Out and Bomb Rush Blush, as well as the Splatfest dialogue creating tension between the two.

Marie won so the developers gave Callie some angst, and she strolled down to Octo Canyon, said to good ol' Octavio "Hey I wanna be evil and stuff." And Octavio was like, "aight sick yo. But you gotta wear these hypnotic shades first tho." And Callie was like "COOL! :D"

Chaos vs. Order impacted what the next game was gonna look like aesthetic wise, and even then it's not as extreme as a lot of people envisioned. Splatsville is Inkopolis but basically... a little bit more chaotic and clearly not as wealthy of a city as Inkopolis. Deep Cut's aesthetics and personality were based on the theme of chaos, we would have probably gotten a three person Idol group regardless but what team won in Splatoon 2 impacted what they were gonna look like. The rest of Splatoon 3 is just regular ol' Splatoon. It's not a crazy Mad Max chaotic land like what some were expecting and that Inkopolis was gonna be up in smoke.

And, of course, the losing team was yet again the central theme of the villain, this time, the idea of Order itself and even then its different from how Callie vs. Marie played out. Marina becomes Marina Agitando at the start of the story to get it out of the way and to subvert expectations. And then the real villain, Overlorder takes centre stage.

I dont think we're gonna see the whole "losing team becomes evil" thing because its a tired old trope and it created so much just.... bullshit in the community, I'm gonna be so real. Like you know this already and my stances on Hypno Callie and what people say about her but... I digress!!

I wanna end off my rambles by saying that the best part of Team Past winning, is that Callie and Marie got to win TOGETHER! It feels like the perfect cap to their arcs and it feels... good.... you know? It just, makes me happy that these two girls are just finally happy and are on each other's wavelengths so well. They even show that in Blushing Tide but ive already gushed about that song.

I feel like thematically Team Past/Squid Sisters winning feels.... perfect? It feels... right? I guess? Starting off in darkness and hate, fighting each other, coming together after being reminded of the good times they've had, healing their broken bond, finally winning... as a team...

I think im taking the loss pretty well LMAO! I mean I was on the winning team of Chaos vs. Order so I'm perfectly fine with coming in second place.
