To the people complaining about Omu and the Diner server; there’s literally one fix to all of your qualms with it.

Be more active.

All of these claims are baseless and cropped out screenshots for a reason. You don’t know Omu. I don’t know Omu either but I don’t see the problem if you literally participate in the community.

To the most recent reply I’d be asking why you didn’t communicate your issue to the mods.

Anyone can rebrand their name if they want to by the way. Don’t make assumptions.

Also kinda weird? to be reading someone complain outright about a chance for free things and a chance for small artists to get a following in flea market. You’d know that the cost from diner literally put Omu in the NEGATIVES. Due to tax. She was literally making negative money off of her work. Backed by her funding.

There’s also a disclaimer that the mod position is a volunteer position and the mods I know are people who are aware if you told them. They are there because they WANT to be. They know there may not be money involved for their work.

Saw someone complain about Omu having a job while making money from the diner. See: point above, literally someone stating that she has the right to participate in events as well, alongside the fact being a nurse is not a high paying job at all. Just because you have a job, doesn’t mean it helps you get by with perfect pay. Just saying.

This is sort of similar to reading people complain about a popular artist for a popular following and their mistakes accompanied with it.

But yes, just be more active. That’s literally it. I’d know because most of the “problems” you’re seeing is from sporadically inactive biases and whatnot. It’s easy to have that mindset if you’re not personally involved with the community to a T.

Besides, it’s not hard to get involved with the community. All it literally takes is participating in the art events held there like Hellgames, or doodle above, talk about similar interests to people in the general chats. That’s literally how I got to talk to a lot of nice / amazing people there.

It’s pretty much a skill issue at that point if you don’t know how to approach the community. If you thought this place is worse than AF, you’d be dead wrong.

absolute INSANE eroica moment is when eberbach literally threatens a woman with violence and she goes off on him until hes on the verge of a breakdown

[ID: Post reply reading "@ hbmmaster Because they are such smug assholes about it. Also when it comes to dinosaurs, if you don't believe what scientists say you're some ignorant fool, but they themselves keep changing the same dinos over and over(Is the Spinosaurs fully aquatic yet lol) It's not like Chemistry or biology were terms and definitions and such matter, it's a rock in space super far away.]

hey I don't think it's cool to call people you're annoyed with about an opinion you disagree over "anti-science". Thinking that Pluto should be included in the cultural reference alongside other things classically called a planet is fine, because planet is a term with no rigid definition, like "fish". Cultural clash /= people somehow being "anti-science".

it's literally not a matter of opinion. "planet" DOES have an official standardized definition, and pluto doesn't fit it. it's very different from a scientifically meaningless but culturally meaningful category like "fish".

regardless, this belief alone isn't what I'm calling anti-science. I'm talking about stuff like this

that is, the type of rhetoric that's been filling my notes the past couple days. this is anti-science.

Weekend warriors is one of my fave episodes for a multitude of reasons

The way Shawn flirts with Sally Reynolds at the briefing was fantastic. Shes such a memorable one off character and she doesn’t really do much. I credit that to Clair Coffee and her dazzling smile.

One of the best moments of Shawn showing just how amazing his memory is, and the little montage was wonderfully set up. But Gus really shouldn’t be surprised by now. Out of everyone (except maybe his dad) he should be the least amazed by his gifts.

It has my favorite most stupidest joke i still laugh at to this day actually ive been promoted. Its Captain Crunch now.

I have a deep appreciation of this show for never shying away from the fact that Gus is black. It seems like a lot of 00’s shows simply avoided the topic altogether (if they even had a black main). Starting from the pilot when gus placed his hands on the dash when the cop pulled them over. It goes to show how important it is to collaborate with your actors, particularly if your writing room demographics don’t correlate with your acting talent.

The fuck are you talking about henry. It took him 4 months after he was born to smile at you and thats when you acknowledge him??? I mean, i think they both know thats crap, but still lol

Solid Juliet moment. I love that they showed she was scared, but was brave enough to continue. Too many shows try to do feminism by making their female characters not feel fear for some reason? Or like, they’re kind of crazy and seek it out. Idk. Its nice that shes allowed to be afraid and vulnerable. It makes her feel like a real person.

THIS!

That end scene is the saddest fucking thing ive ever seen, and might be the most heartbreaking little shawn moment in the series. Im going to word for word this because i need ppl to share in my awwws

Shawn: Gus, when we grow up, think ill ever be as cool as you?

Gus: You’re better at kickball

Shawn: Not what I asked

Gus: We talking about your dad again?

Shawn: mm-hmm

Gus: Come on dude, the guy respects you

Shawn: Not like he does you

Gus: I’m not his son. I mean, he might like me okay, but he loves you

Shawn: Did he say that?

Gus: No.

Shawn: Well then how can you be sure?

Gus: You mean he’s never said it?

Shawn: Come on Gus, we’re guys.

SO MUCH TO UNPACK HERE but i’m going to do that in my henry analysis ep. Theres just too much to say.

Colin didnt deserve Penelope

i didnt believe that colin deserved penelope or even properly liked her for who she is as a person but instead liked the valedation he got from her.

i know this is contreversial but hear me out ,

colin's whole character arc is based around the fact that he for one isnt taken seriously by his family and second that he doesnt know who he is. he's the third son in a rich family and doesnt really stand out in any way.

so penelope who always since their first meeting has looked at colin like he hung the moon and always cared for him greatly is always going to appeal to him because she makes him feel important and valued.

i also was not convinced that colin wasnt just sexually attracted to Pen, like the proposal in the carriage scene when he fingered her was not romantic at all.

listen, its probably different in the book but i felt that the showrunner and screenwriters didnt believe in polin's romance enough so filled the story with 94 other sideplots. this is a shame because there is so much potential with polin and they just fumbled the bag MASSIVELY.

childhood best friends to lovers is literally my favourite trope for so many reasons - i just fw the slowburn for like 16yrs lol. but WE DIDNT SEE THE RELATIONSHIP ENOUGH it was so rushed. WE DIDNT EVEN SEE THE FIRST TIME PEN AND COLIN MEET WHAT A FLOP, they had a scene where they talked about it WHAT HAPPENED TO SHOW NOT TELL GUYS.

and i get we need the whistledown reveal but i genuinely believe that people dont watch bridgerton for drama and suspense but for good romance, period drama vibes and hot men and women.

i just didnt believe in the romance guys im sorry and this obviously has nothing to do with luke and nicola i love them both dearly but both me and my friend rose were left feeling indifferent by season 3's main couple.

but i promise there was a lot i did love about bridgerton s3 like francesca and john, eloise and cressida and the bridgerton family together as a whole!

anyways, if you like me are a massive bridgerton fan you are definitely going to love the podcast episode me and my friend rose recorded talking all things bridgerton s3! we deepdive and expand on what ive talked about here in regards to pen and colin's romance, why we love francesca and john and talk on ALL the side plots. its basically an hour of us unpacking all things bridgerton s3 and theres certainly a lot to like!

the link is at the top of this post and the episode is also available on spotify, apple podcasts and amazon podcasts on the confession club podcast where we talk a lot about our fave romance media!!

i hope you enjoy and thanks for reading :)

[fuck-philip-banks]

what are you talking about

yall were reblogging posts about how you can't get kids to read by shaming them for reading the "wrong" things and then turned around and started foaming at the mouth at the idea of a bookstore or library with an "as seen on tiktok" section because… it's your idea of a "wrong" thing

like genuinely it's just so obvious now that that entire rhetoric arose from adults who read comics getting their feelings hurt by parents telling their teenaged kids reading comics is childish and dressing that upset response up in progressive language. there is no consistency! you dont really believe any of it!

like hey geniuses the whole point of all that shit was that you have to encourage people to get into reading however it is that they want to, because if they're not doing it because they want to then they never will want to. and your reaction to this really, really good way to get kids to want to read more is just… abject disgust? because tiktok bad? i hate yall

dwj, personality, autism, research. there’s a very Loaded dwj quote in here about autism, pls note.

i think dwj is one of the best and most talented writers ever, and certainly one of my favorites. this is, i think i unfortunately have to say, utterly unrelated to the many things that i feel about her as a person.

(it’s not unrelated. i mean, it is. but also it’s not. you know.)

she’s such a can of worms. i remember my dad asking me if i was sad i hadn’t gotten to meet or communicate with her before she died, and i said i wasnt. (i think i made a real groaner of a death of the author joke here, too.) she seemed so prickly and testing, and i can handle that sort of person but it takes Massive amounts of energy. she’s exactly someone id Absolutely Love to watch from a safe distance with excellent binoculars.

i bring this up because i saw someone tagging cat as a canon autistic character on ao3, which was a surprise, as that’s not in the text. (obviously cat is autistic. please. you’ve met him. go out on a limb.) i just now searched for the word of god (lol i made this reference before even seeing this—check out the first entry in literature) about it and saw this fascinating publishers weekly interview on the occasion of house of many ways’ publication (note to self: write down your HoMW thoughts some time, because whew, charmaine):

Interviewer: I’ve read that you’ve said Cat Chant [a recurring central character in the Chrestomanci books] is slightly autistic. Can you talk a little about that?

Diana Wynne Jones: Well, you know he has very great difficulty telling people things. It’s a mild form of autism. He’s not completely turned in on himself, but he is rather. This is how autism seems to be. I mean the worst cases. The child is almost unapproachable by other people. But in the case of Cat, he is [mildly autistic]. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so much under the thumb of his elder sister. I mean, it does make you victim material, very much, to be sort of semi-autistic. Always, when I’m thinking and writing about Cat, I know that he’s not going to tell people anything properly…. It’s a sort of social activity that’s beyond him. Such people can learn of course, and do. But when you’re a child it’s an extreme difficulty.

… ough. there’s. so much to unpack there. “unapproachable” sure puts the onus on the approacher, wouldn’t you think? and “victim material”—whew! and also, gestures at dwj’s childhood. which:

then i saw someone say that dwj herself had said she’d identified with being autistic. they did not cite their source so i won’t cite them. this does not surprise me in the least.

id like to see everything she’s said about cat being autistic and about her own relationship with autism. i may already have some of these sources in my archival notes and copies, but autism isn’t a topic i was deeply interested in while doing my research. im sure theres some academic work about this. if there isn’t i will be genuinely surprised. doing a thorough search tomorrow*.

*barring another Horrible bout of food poisoning, infant shenanigans, irl happenings, internal kenshō events, etc.

[ghoulspaw]

I have to re-read the episode cause there were a couple of things that *thinking lots of thoughts* !!!

Kaito and romeo, the comedic duo you are. They had me chuckling pretty much throughout the entire episode LMAOO 😭

Us: haha what if romeo lucci --> gucci lol

Devs:

IM SO GGDJSG?!?! i thought they did it only for the puns, not for his actual LORE BYEEE 💀😭

[inhales deeply] KIRISAKI BROTHERS 😭😭😭😭🥹😭😓😩🥹🥺😪🥲😭😭🥺😢😥❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Zenji THE BEST big bro ever im so sad :(((( i definitely need to reread cause theres quite some things to unpack in here

Im ECSTATIC for butler obscuary !!!!!!!!!! MY BELOVEDS!!!!!!!!!!! 🫂💖

And im actually excited to get more of these inter-squad episodes, hoping we get to see ghouls who we've never seen interact with each other together, kinda feels like canon fanfic/smau hgdhd

[roouzes]

Can you tell us more about the OC you ship Stanford with? I know there’s only two pics of her on her but I’m so intrigued with her

omg ofc !!! i did not think anybody would be interested in my ocxcanon slop 😭

her name is Yvonne Westwood, she's the same age as Stanford (not sure about the timeline still so that might change or it might not) she wants to be a botanist, and she likes poisonous plants (her fave is the oleander plant, because they r pretty :3)

but basically she came from a rich family who didn't rlly care for her much (aside from her older brother, he still keeps in touch with her) they never supported her nor her dream to become a botanist, so she left home early to study botany at BMU with the little money she saved before leaving.

by the time she was enrolled Ford would have already graduated (he graduated early if i remember) and is conducting his research in Gravity Falls.

this is where i insert some of the stuff from a fic i read on AO3 (Forays with Ford by prayanimal, very good fic, theres a lot of 18+ content though) but basically Yvonne is referred to Ford and he provides lodging for her stay at Gravity Falls, as she'll be staying there for the summer to write her dissertation on the plants that inhabit the town.

freaky stuff happen with fairy ring shrooms (and hallucinations oOooOoo) and by the end of summer they find it hard to part from each other :3

heres an old drawing of them in the present time i guess. lol she loves using him as a guinea pig

she changed a lot from her old design n lore, she was supposed to be a family friend of the Northwests, and a direct parallel to Pacifica's character, but i scrapped that and just kept the rich family background because yay! trauma

theres still a bit to unpack abt her character but if i gave it all away in one post this would be much longer than it is 😓

[t4tpumpkinduo]

tangentially, whenever ppl get annoying abt merchantisms it makes me wanna dangle the streams in front of their eyes. how do you get that they don't like eachother or either one is an abuser abt anything they've done. what show are you watching. el heich.

like. no yeah the dude who whole deal is that he isn't the heartless monster he wants to portray himself as, secretly IS that heartless monster. despite the narrative over and over going hey, this guy makes some awful mistakes but he clearly cares for people deeply and is being portrayed sympathetically and isn't some irredeemable asshole. this goes fr both btw but i'll focus on cq here cuz i see that one the most in these discussions specifically.

he made cfundy sign a contract saying if he ever left or betrayed lnv, he'd kill him. then didn't enforce it at all 😭 he let him do whatever he wanted. cfundy literally BROKE into his room, STOLE his clothes to LOOK like him and match, and this deeply paranoid guy got all flattered abt it, then let him leave lnv on good terms. they're on /pos standing w eachother explicitly.

he was completely blindsided by the cpurp betrayal. he was genuinely so shocked that it would happen, he completely forgot abt the rammies . he blindly trusted him (abt multiple situations INCLUDING the cookie outpost) and walked up to what was clearly 😭 a trap. and didn't even blink or think it through for a second. like.

it never even crossed his mind ccharlie would be upset w him in any way. and the whole time he was w him, while obviously he had problems like projecting shit onto him and trying to manipulate him, he was v much trying to protect him and shield him from the shit that happened to him, and was ALSO shocked when ccharlie betrayed him fucking sniffling and snorfing and horking like a loser the whole time

and after all that he's STILLLLLLLL very chummy and friendly w foolish, and in lnv5 foolish has to like tell him off and go hey man we're not close like that lol. yr just my boss.

LIKE!!!!!!! the whole point is he's not sm one note evil demon! he stays wack he makes horrible mistakes and choices but he still stays a deeply earnest freak for the whole series. that's the POINT.

but no yeah 😭 smhow despite not displaying these wacko traits w any other person, except one hyper specific situation where the guy he's mauling is a violent stalker murderer who kills and kidnaps children, tortures inoccent people, and is actively and selfishly withholding a deeply important resource that would guarantee the safety of everyone on the server bcs he wants to have power over the kids he keeps beating. and cq wants to stop him from doing those things. hello.

but despite all evidence against it, despite it all, he's still merchant cschlatt's horrible demon captor. to him specifically. somehow. like.

yeah, there's nothing to read into the fact cschlatt would go to him in the first place, despite objectively having MANY MANY other options, including avenues he himself could take alone. not to even mention theres nothing on the dsmp tht would allow a soul binding contract that they would have access to. they deffo just shook on it lmao. it doesn't have that horrific weight ppl give it. 😭 they can both tap out whenever but they do noat.

there's nothing to unpack abt the fact q was grumbling the whole time he was in the gym, but was still following schlatt around and giggling at his jokes. there's nothing to dive into abt the fact cq goes ewwwww i don't even wnna see you lolllll go awayyyy. but if i win the bet you have to stay w me forever. forever. always.

and nothing to say abt cschlatt being portrayed as "having no power" in the situation, as just being a poor uwu pathetic idiot w no agency despite the fact his agency and intelligence and cunning are deeply important to his character, despite the fact he's also being a huge weirdo. saying he was jerking off to q, and trying to tie him down like a dog to a post so he could keep him down in the gym, or even bothering to seek him out and trust him w all that in the first place specifically. 😅 nothing to say abt the fact the merchant is doing the exact same shit he was pulling in the mansion 😭😭😭 and nothing to be said abt the fact twitter character ints are canon and ccschlatt in character replied "you've come a long way sugar pumpkin, let's play mancala" to a lnv5 stream tweet. which.

even Then, while i have my v severe severe severe problems w lnv5, it objectively ends w cq going forward even more w trying to make amends w ppl, and finally trying to open up fully again. AND lnv survived the dsmp world ending nuke.

ANDDDDD to address "the mansion takes place in the distant future" argument, the mansion objective canonically takes places way before lnv even happens as confirmed by multiple streams and characters, including cschlatt and cconnor themselves so. like regretfully i must inform that if you watch tht stream its nowhere near a happy ending for cschlatt, was never intended to be, and objectively like sucks severely out there. he's desperately sad and lonely, and then everyone abandons him again including ckarl. 😭 how is that the best scenario.

so yeah, he's in lnv and he and q are hanging out gay style playing board games and kissing under the moonlight and in good standings no matter which way you slice it and you can mald abt it AND get REALLLLL. all roads lead to cpumpkinduo you miserable slut

[faradaykay]

You are literally so real hello that. phenomenon annoys me a lot.. i like thinking of ryuji and ann Trying to become somewhat friends with goro, but its cool just thinking what they could talk about on their own . (Like just ann and goro, without mentioning joker, or just ryuji and goro) And of course, ann is perfectly awesome on her own, not only with another character(s)

Also gonna be real im not a super sumihead (lol) but i do like her and she has a lot going on..like. guys theres a lot to unpack here where all the sumiheads at. Ok they're probably there HSHSHD but its true you see her more in the bg of stuff u_u

YESSSSSSSSS YOU GET IT

i honestly don't inherently hate ann and goro friendship. i truly don't. i used to think it was a cute concept actually, if anyone were to have patience and kindness with him after Everything i think it'd be her. but now i see it and i immediately get defensive bc the way they are portrayed is just... bad. i especially really hate how people seem to have turned them into the stereotypical "gay man and his girl best friend" dynamic in all of the content for them bc they simply... aren't like that. it's not their personalities. and i think if people wanna do sh//uake while making ann friends with akechi they need to be not misogynistic about it. make her an important character instead of just having her pop up when akechi wants to go to the mall and go #GirlShopping and talk about love advice. like people in general need to do a way better job of checking themselves with the whole "yaoi and their girl best friend" thing bc so often it's just misogyny and acting like women are nothing but side characters

AND THE SUMI THING... jesus christ idk if you saw that one clip from persona 5 tactica promo material where it's sumi, joker, and akechi and the camera is on sumi for like 0.2 seconds before it switches to joker and akechi for several seconds and she is just like. no joke in the background. and i was SO MAD when i saw that. and i thought the general reaction would be outrage. bc she is just as much a part of the game as akechi is, so whyyyyy would they do that, give my girl some goddamn screentime. but no. the sh//uakers made so much art of this exact moment. sticking her in the background. it was a whole trend. and it's like. that's so fucking annoying!!!!!! she's not a background character of sh//uake. her ties to them account for like. maybe 1 hour total of the 150 hour game that is p5r, and many of the other hours of the game have moments that distinguish her and make her an interesting character in her own right. but i legit don't see content of her that's not primarily sh//uake content anymore, and when she is in ship content of them, she is often metaphorically or even literally shoved in the background

and it's like. that's misogyny. this is misogynistic. you do realize that right.

there is a right way to both ship men and include women in your content, but the p5 fandom certainly hasn't figured it out. please. i am begging you guys to do better

[ybetzarts]

random question, what draws you to knuckles as a character? do you have a favourite version of him?

Okok...bear with me, I have to start from the beginning..

I first encountered Knuckles during the time when he was mostly portrayed as, as they described him, a character merely for comedic relief. I watched the boom series back in 2015 and so my first impression of him was that he was an all-brawn-no-brain kinda guy. I found him funny, i guess...i had no clue back then. To explain why i didnt bother to do any research, here are some screenshots of my response on IG...(see below the break)

I was a shallow "fan". I find the sonic casts' design interesting and fun to look at. At that time, that was enough...

1. What drew me into Knuckles then?

I'll get into that, but first...The 2nd movie...The only reason i gave Sonic(by Sonic i meant the whole franchise) a chance was because i saw how Knuckles was portrayed in the 2nd Sonic movie. Very different from what i knew of him at that time.

I began researching about him, after watching the movies. There was something. Yea, i was on an info hunt of just about the guy for months! Along the way tho, i also discovered a ton of things about Sonic, the cast, etc. BUT, i was mostly so eager to know about Knuckles. Then man! There was so much to know about the guy...He wasnt just that all-brawn-no-brain type of guy. Those character analysis videos of Knuckles explained a lot of things about him. He's the most interesting of the cast(for me)---his personality(Most of all), his backstory, his sacred duty, being the last of the echidnas, angel island as his home, what's left of his kind(relics, tech, architecture, art, etc.), so much to unpack...and YET there were almost nothing said about them??? The mysteries about the guy continues. Lots of angles to look into his character.

Hmm... I also realized that there were many ways to interpret(?) Knuckles. The tons of fanfiction you can make about the guy, tons of ways to do headcanons about him---one can look at him through his duty as a guardian, through him being a warrior, through his ancestors--and then recently in Frontiers--through the hidden and long lost and forgotten structures within angel island, also, through the M.E. and through the power that resides in the M.E. Am I making sense even???

[I should say that i liked a lot of these things first, before i even liked Knuckles for his design LOL (gawsh, those times when i struggled drawing the dude. I was so eager to learn how to draw him. Usually i would have given up, but surprisingly i didnt), and the "why did he have to be RED" XDD I didnt like red, until Knuckles...] His personality drew me in at first, then came all of these things...

About his personality/character...I can really relate to that. I also happen to like characters who are tough on the outside and are good (not exactly gentle) in the inside LOL. Knuckles looks so tough, immovable as a mountain, but deep down, he's carrying a lot. Rarely or almost never opening up. I can only imagine him as he got older, him thinking like

"No one will be left to take care of the island after I'm gone anyway...so why should i even bother? I could be doing something else, I could be anywhere, I could make use of what time ive been given, of what time i have left."

*proceeds to chuck them thoughts away* Then just like that, back to guarding duty again, still feeling loyal and determined to fulfill his role, and to who knows until when...

For that, Knuckles is the only fictional character that ive come to genuinely like and become interested in. So much so that i got out of my demotivated-uninspired-artist-prison and began drawing again, and for the fun of it!🌟💥

2. As for my favorite version of him?

My gosh! um, currently Renegade, I suppose??? Man, this is hard gah! Theres always something to like about every version of Knuckles. The Knuckles version in my head, the one i created after consuming a ton of Knuckles info, yea i also like that version LOL XDD🌟

[officialpenisenvy]

i vividly remember one time as maybe like a 12? year old trying to open mouthed kiss my mother because i guess i thought thats how you were really supposed to kiss people due to tv . she didnt appreciate it but she was also definitely at the very Least wilfully ignoring my father molesting me continuously and occasionally right next to her since i was a baby so theres that too. jokes on both of them now since i havent spoken to them for like 4 years [mother went politically insane and dangerous lol] and now i have an excuse for having an incest fetish i guess #whatever

SO much going on here i can't possibly begin to unpack all that. good for you on not speaking to them anymore though 🙏🙏

[myosotis-ronan]

Nintendo direct splatoon 3 paid dlc Over view

Ok ok okayy, my overview might not be the same as others because i did not play the first game, so i will not find the nostalgia of it the same.

HOLLYYYY SHITTT!!!!

Okay so there is ALLOT to unpack here.

I will be starting with wave one of the DLC: Inkopolis

Then move to wave two: Side Order

Soo, inkopolis is back! You can now experience this nostalgic city on your Nintendo switch! There’s not much to unpack other than a few things

Lets start with probably (almost) everyone’s favorite news,

SHELDON HAS BEEN REPLACED BY THESE GUYS!!

I know there are some Sheldon fans out there but im pretty sure we can agree that its nice to have a change of a shopkeeper that has beeen the same since the first game. Makes sense canonically to how would Sheldon be able to run two shops in two separate city’s at the same time.

There also this guy:

He honestly looks terrifying, like this is something I would find climbing out of my little sister’s closet.

SQUIDD SISTERS ARE BACK IN THEIR PREFORMING DAYS!!

they said splatfests work the same here and that squid sisters will preform during splatfests. Im not sure what that means considering there are three teams and only two squid sisters, judging by this shot im starting to wonder if the zapfish represents the third team lol.

Another thing im wondering is if we will be able to go to octo valley in inkopolis, i dont see why not but it also seems very likely that we wont be able to, the only part of this expansion that contains story looks to be wave two but i could be completely wrong.

Okay next up we have wave two: side order

At firs5t glance this looks like a compleatly normal octoling in a strange white area. But if we take a closer look, this octoling appears to be agent eight? The promo hairstyle is the same and the outfit looks similar.

If we take another good look, their skin color appear to be the same as well.

Now unfourtunatly there is zero sign of agent four. Wait- what’s this?:

Another thing that happens when we take a good look is we can see that this ‘strange white place’ is actually SPLATOON 2’S INKOPOLIS

FOUR WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO!?!?

sadly we cannot assume that this is the doings of agent 4, but knowing that Nintendo likes to listen to their fans, we will likely be getting four back in this DLC.

Now what could have happened here?

Well, first off lets start with the pictures flashing across the screen during this scene.

Okay so first off we have uh- strange lights? I dunno theres not realy much to make of this picture

Next up is some kind of room. Now at first i thought this was an elevator or something. And i might be right, but it also might be a containment chamber according to the next pictures

Next we got some kind of fight science or something- i really dont know the only thing that caught my eye was the blue and green thing behind out octo friend that made me say: “SANITIZED OCTO” for some reason lol. But ig it looks like out octo is fighting someone with orange ink… FOUR???(hj)

Okayyyy now this im going to call hand, because uhh hand?or atleast thats what I thought at first, but now its starting to look like a cepholapod? The floor seems really reflective and we can see… AN INKLING?? HOLLY SHIT FOUR PLEASEEE TELL ME ITS YOU IM GOING TO EXPLODE. This inkling looks a bit.. difirent though,, its hard to see their ink color but it looks like a bit of a brownish color like the octo. Another thing that is off about this squid is its a normaly long arms, im not the only one seeIng how long their fucking arms are right?

uh void,, Thing?there are a bunch of spikes and out fave octo friend chillin in the center of it all. There seems to be a reoccurring theme of black and white even though splatoon is a colorful game.

Ooo glitchy marina! This one dosent have allot of info other than shes in her old outfit or the took her orange jacket off but it sure would make an awesome wallpaper!

this one seems to be of our octo buddy looking into glass. Now one of two things could be happening here.. or both, 1: this octo just came into existence and is seeing their own face for the first time, or 2: their looking at something out the window. Thwew is another person in the background as we can see a black shoe in the top left corner

I dont even fucking know what this is but it reminds me of those stress toys with the colored balls inside them that you try to push in

now THOSE are some LONG ASS TENTACLES. This seems to be another elevator of some sort, or just a big door. It seems to be surounded by plants and collums to.

This honestly looks like a splatoon 2 hero mode stage on anistetics (/pos). Our lil octo guy seems to be in the middle of it

what the fuck do i even call this?? It’s just s blur of gray back and white.

We got pearl in the fucked up inkopolis. Y’know, maybe we fell over and shes helpin us up :) this also explains her huge jacket because it must be freezing out there lol

This looks like something from breath of the wild. But the longer i look at it, the more it looks like a stegosaurus. That red pupil is scary tho ngl

now the ink may look back and a bit of red ink. But what if thats orange ink? Honestly im trying to find anny excuse i have to say agent 4 is back. But this placer looks strange, there is white plants everywhere and the pillars a weird.

That’s fucking bright. but the ink color is starting to look closer and closer to agent eight’s ink color

this reminds me of the splatoon2 hero mode art with all the octo weapons and callie at the top and four at the bottom of all of it and i feeling the refirence. I dont have the time to turn up the brightness right now but i will later and i will let you guys know what i find

Okay now were really getting close to agent eight’s hair color. This is most likely agent eight like there is almost no denial

oh shit now there are two of them. One of them looks like their saying something to the other. There is also a massive difference in brightness which is strange. Also where are they? This place looks strange with stuff just everywhere.

i cant add more so the last two will be in a rb of this
