Goodbye Splatoon 1! 🩷💚

Even though I haven’t been able to play this game at the time, I sure envied the ones who could! The absolute fun I’ve heard from others truly makes me happy that I can join along while appreciating how it started!

Stay Fresh!

Thank You Splatoon 1!

I didn't play it until near the end of 2015, I thought it was a good game, then I spent more time on it, and I really like it! It got me into the series more, I like the story lores, I've watched YouTubers play Splatoon 1, and I got more excited when they showed Splatoon 2!

Sad that the Wii U and 3DS online service is ending soon. I feel like most people who are started at splat2 or 3 are gonna miss the experience of the first game! There are other ways to play online like Pretendo. But officially this is the end of Splatoon 1!

To commemorate the official end of Splatoon 1 I drew My Avatar in Splatoon 1 and I like how it turns out!

FINALE of Splatoon 1 EDITION!

28/5/2015 - 8/4/2024

Splatoon was one of my first WiiU games. I still remember how fresh the game felt back then.

It marked an awkward part of my pre-teenagehood where I was still learning how to mask and connect with people on the internet, but I can't deny how much of an impact it had on me. I avoided the franchise during a big part of my teen years due to how ashamed I felt by my old self.

But then, I came back. And I'm very glad that I did, because it helped me blossom as an artist.

I will never forget my memories of playing the original Splatoon. The stages, the splatfests, the story mode, the art style, my player character... I still remember how fun it was. Seeing how much the franchise has grown brings me so much joy. It's sad to see the online features go, but in the end, we had a good run.

THANK YOU, SPLATOON!!

🦑 Thank you Splatoon 1! 🦑

From my twitter to celebrate the first splatoon game. As the internet service for wii U and 3DS was shut down recently.

I still remember when my interest for the first game piqued from the “YOU’RE A KID NOW! YOU’RE A SQUID NOW!” commercial. Especially since it was a very new franchise at the time. Little did I know that the series would blow me away from the characters to the worldbuilding to the story and especially the music. This series had a huge influence on me while growing up and as an artist as well! Its also helped me meet new friends and connect with them over the game! I really wanted to make something that celebrates that. Just a lil thanks to the game that started it all.

Thank you so much Splatoon 1! This series really has come so far! And thank you for all the fun and memories! I look forward to getting disconnected more from the online lobbies of your sequels.

Splatoon 1 (SFM) - Where it all began

Callie: Aw it's alright Captain let it all out.

Marie: You'll always be the best kid and squid.

Cuttlefish: I knew since the moment I first met you that you'd be the freshest of them all. That's why I'm proud to call you captain.

Captain 3: *sheds a tear* Booyah!

*Recently the servers for Splatoon 1 on Wii U have finally shut down after almost 10 years. I remember being lined up early in the morning at Game Stop to pick up a copy and a few new released Amiibos.* 

[tentacolegaming]

The Nintendo 3DS and Wii U online servers shut down tomorrow evening. I have a lot of good memories associated with those consoles, but none of them will beat my memories of Splatoon 1…

Nothing will top the feeling of beating Hero Mode for the first time, learning about the lore, listening to all the cool music, and participating in the Splatfests.

I honestly don’t know where I would be online without Splatoon 1. 😔 I’m really sad to see it go! 😭

[ieatcatsforaliving]

I know I’m a little late to the party, and I never played S1 but here you go.

And stuff I have been working on!! ( I’ll probably never finish 😭👍)

[glazenewt]

yuuji cannot use a chair to save his life

Sukuna was sitting on the floor, his upper arms resting on the couch behind him. His head was tilted to the side as it rested on his fist, and he lazily looked at the screen in front of him.

Yuuji was playing a video game, a "shooter game" with many colors and sounds that looked more like the mess the brat watched on his phone rather than anything coherent. Trying to follow along made Sukuna's head spin but there were a few things that were easy to catch on.

Yuuji's character exploded into a colored puddle, and without missing a beat Sukuna laughed at him. "You suck at this," he added.

Yuuji turned to glare at him, straining his neck while doing so, "I haven't played in months and the other team has a sniper, so if I don't try to move up we're never getting back mid."

He turned back at the sound of his character respawning, "And my team only has short to mid-range weapons so we're at a disadvantage here."

Sukuna couldn't be bothered to understand what any of that meant. "I'm only hearing excuses. If you were actually good at this game of yours you wouldn't need teammates to win."

"It's a multiplier game, having teammates is the whole POINT!" He screamed the last word as he narrowly evaded an attack that would have surely got him killed again, exploding his opponent in the process. His momentary glee was quickly crushed as his character also exploded for seemingly no reason.

Sukuna didn't try to hide his chuckles while the young man anxiously looked at the map while respawning. The match ended before he could get onto the field again.

Despite the general chaos of the game Sukuna only needed one look to know the results. He smiled with all his teeth, poking at Yuuji's temple with his free hand, "Maybe you should give up for now. What is it? The fifth loss in a row?"

"Oh, shut up," he fell back, landing on Sukuna's chest, "I just need to shake the rust off," he closed his eyes for a moment, knowing how to queue for another match without looking.

Sukuna huffed fondly, "You've been saying that for the past 30 minutes, brat."

Yuuji didn't add anything, only pouting a little. He made his character jump up and down with the hand he still had on the controller. Sukuna tightened the arms he had warped around Yuuji's waist, filling the gap until the younger man sat back up for the next match.

.

.

Yuuji was on his phone, checking over his social medias, laughing at memes and catching up with the tea of strangers online while sending out anything interesting to his friends

What had started out as him sitting beside Sukuna was now him halfway over the other man's laps, his upper back and neck held on a massive arm and hand.

Sukuna was reading old history books, saying he wanted to "catch up" to what happened while he was sealed. One time he mentioned to Yuuji how lacking historical records felt compared to the reality of life during his time, but that didn't stop him from reading them; in fact having a basis to compare how things were when he was still alive compared to what was recorded granted him a far better understanding of other recordings, according to him.

Yuuji didn't really get why he'd spend so much time reading from the source when there were so many videos online detailing their country's history. He had provided Sukuna with a phone for that reason but he only used it for 2 weeks before permanently retiring it to a drawer saying that "it was no wonder the brat was so stupid with the amount of trash accessible through that thing”.

Not what Yuuji had expected when Sukuna had spent those 2 weeks with an average of 12 hours of daily screentime, but hey.

While he was scrolling, Yuuji came across something that made him grin. "Hey, old man!"

Sukuna turned one eye to look at him which was enough acknowledgement for Yuuji, "Look at this," he turned his phone to him.

A picture of an adult tiger lying on its side with a cub pawing at its face was shoved into Sukuna's vision. "It's us."

Yuuji was grinning from ear to ear, giggling to himself. He took back his phone after receiving a hum of acknowledgement and they both resumed their respective activity.

Once Yuuji was fully focused on his screen again, Sukuna allowed himself to smile.

.

.

"Are you done showing off?" Yuuji asked annoyed. As his answer, Sukuna pushed back, going from doing push-ups on one hand to one finger and it only pissed off Yuuji even more.

Originally Yuuji was simply working out a little and was joined by Sukuna who not only matched Yuuji's moves but also made a point of one-upping him at every turn.

Yuuji watched from the side as Sukuna finished his set of 1 finger push-ups, wholly unimpressed as he was pretty sure he could do the same.

He simply knew that Sukuna would one-up him again somehow and he didn't want his light work-out session to turn into their usual competitions.

"Is that all you got brat?" Sukuna was smiling with all his teeth, still holding a perfect plank position, "Was such a simple move enough to scar you into surrendering?"

Well, Yuuji couldn't let that slide. "I just think that this was way too easy for you."

Yuuji walked closer and got on Sukuna's back, sitting in the middle of it. He knew that a man who could carry entire buildings wouldn't be bothered by his weight, but he was still annoyed by the fact that the other did not budge. Not even breaking a sweat.

"Is that it?" Sukuna changed the arm holding him and started another set. "This is still a lightwork brat. Unless you also want me to sit on your back as well to see if you can match the strength of a single one of my arms?"

"I can carry you pretty easily you know that?" Yuuji added with a frown.

"I'd love to see this," he added mockingly which only made Yuuji angrier.

The older man finished his set. A bit passed and he eventually laid down on floor, Yuuji still on his back.

"Hey what are you doing now?"

"Given how comfortable you seem up there I have decided to claim victory this time and let you enjoy yourself. How benevolent of me, I know."

Determined not to leave this as a loss, Yuuji got up and immediately deadlifted Sukuna off the ground.

.

.

Most beds weren't comfortable to Sukuna, made in sizes too small for his bulk and extra limbs, yet sometimes he'd ditch the massive one in his room to sleep in Yuuji's.

And what could Yuuji do if he was tired as well? With Sukuna lying on his back, arms splayed open and legs dangling off the edge, there wasn't that much place left for him to sleep on.

Yuuji crawled up the bed and laid directly on Sukuna's chest, hair tickling the bigger man's chin. He wrapped his arms around the other's neck while 2 hands placed themselves on the small of his back. 'For stability' they both thought.

Like this they both drifted to sleep, hearts close to one another and beating in sync to a slow and steady rhythm.

.

.

.

.

On some day they'll go picnicking together, as if they weren't spending enough time with one another.

They ate, they talked, then they both fell silent, a comfortable sensation covering them both as they simply enjoyed each other's presence as well as the nature around them.

Sukuna's head was laid on Yuuji's laps. Gentle fingers ran through his hair and massaged his scalp; the sun kept them warm and a soft breeze rustled the leaves of the trees around them.

Yuuji had already zoned out, moving his hands automatically in a way that felt right to him, whereas Sukuna had started to drift off to sleep.

Small moments of peace they wish could last forever

Goodnight Splatoon 1's server's and thank you for everything.

I remember seeing the first trailer for Splatoon. At first I wasn't interested at all... a shooter game? Not my style of game play... But then I kept watching and wow... I just got so captivated by what I saw that it was the first game I had ever pre-ordered that wasn't a Pokemon game. I used to do something called the "24 hour challenge" something that no one else but me did because I made it up. I would stay up the full 24 hours for Splatfest for the first handful of Splatfests and play the wholeeeee time. Or at least until my brother wanted to play and I'd take a nap, haha. That stopped once school started up again but those memories of my 24 hour challenges are still ones that I hold close to my heart. My first real Splatoon friend was Nick! We would play the new stages together in recon as soon as they would come out and we were both online. We still talk and I'd still consider him one of my closest friends. Thanks for sticking with me all these years Nick, I appreciate you more than words could ever express. I've made more Splatoon friends over the years and I'm happy to have every single one of you. Here's to the future!
