BEWARE OF WEEPING INK SYNDROME, THE NEW ILLNESS SPREADING OVER THE SPLATLANDS

This is a post dedicated to inform the population about the weeping ink syndrome, also called WIS. This parasite is deadly and we desperately need more awareness about it

First of all, what is WIS ?

WIS is an illness caused by a parasite called Chordodes formosanus. This worm is usually found in praying mantises and grasshoppers, but has been recently found to infect inkfishes. this worm reproduces by infecting the nervous system of its host and modifies its behavior in hopes of leading it to drown in larges bodies of water where it can reproduce. This modification of the nervous system causes quite a lot of symptoms, the most notable being the uncontrollable leaking of ink through some of the victim's orifices, the main one being the eyes.

How can you see if someone has been infected by this parasite ?

The illness is fairly new at the moment so not much is known about it, but these are some of the symptoms victims have displayed so far.

If you find someone affected by WIS, do NOT try to interact with them. Call the authorities and make sure to secure yourself in a safe space. There is no currently known cure to WIS when symptoms start showing up, as the nervous system has already been damaged

This parasite preys on the natural desires inkfish have to return to their sea life origins. But we all know full well that deep in the waves, there's nothing that awaits you other than death.

So please ... Stay safe everyone.

(while I did write and reimagined a large portion of this story and made all of the illustrations here, the original writer of WIS is MisterFister4000. Please go check out their works !)

can one feel it? the parasite writhing in your head, making you see those you care about in places where they shouldn't be? one can't deny they have been inflicted with the disease, but one can kill it by straying away from all forms of sea water.

you do not recognize them. the illusion serve to bring you to the water so the parasite can spread further.

(inspired by the creepypasta over on twtter and tiktok.)

YOU DO NOT RECOGNIZE THE BODIES ON THE SHORE

I love the Weeping Ink Syndrome stuff, it’s a creepy thing to explore and make stuff around! I know Ace doesn’t look creepy or anything, just- confused and sad, maybe a bit pathetic if you ask me, but bare with me here. I like the idea that the parasitic worm that’s causing this for him is like- too weak to do much to him(or maybe it’s a little bitch and gave up immediately)? He’s basically just mindless and not desperate to be in water. Much like a zombie, but no feral or ill intent. Just mindless and wandering. He’s still infected, sure, and is probably slowly losing his shit, his memories, and I dunno what else. His ink that would technically be contaminated is either too weak to infect anyone else, or can be treated easier if someone were to get infected through him.

And maybe that means he’ll be able to be treated? Or not. Maybe he’s too far gone for that. Not sure yet. This isn’t any canon shit for him anyways, just a simple what-if.

I recently remembered Weeping Ink Syndrome exists, so I wanted to make something based off that! I might use this OC in other, later Splatoon, or other WIS themed stuff. I have some ideas for her, but expanding her lore isn't one of my priorities right now.

Also, I'll be doing Artfight prep, so posts might slow down for the next two weeks, but I'll try to keep you ratlings fed :3
