read a post saying there's the "implication" callie is straight. please don't tell me there's people who genuinely think she's heterosexual. look at this girl
I love that in the official render everyone in the Now or Never Seven is trying extra hard to serve a little extra, and then you have Marina just. Standing there. Looking pretty. Too many thoughts in her pretty little head. I love you girl why are you like this.
CALLIE ISN'T STUPID!
people imply she doesn't know what's right, only likes to have fun, and has no characteristics aside from that which is NOT TRUE!
she struggles with her mental health and i wish it was seen as more than just "lol, how quirky!" moments by the fandom!!
Everyone talks about Splatoon hot takes and immediately mentions weapons and comp. let's shake it up a little..
WHAT ARE YOUR SPLATOON LORE/CHARACTER HOT TAKES?
tbh i miss acht's color palette. this is really silly to complain about but i feel like their colors are too strong... like their tentacle tips used to be this pretty pink-ish kinda salmon color and now they're magenta!!! why!!!!
my only complaint about acht's canon characterization is that they're consistently normal. just acting very socially acceptable. i wish their behavior was strange and off-putting
marina is frantically explaining this rushed plan, the only way to save inkopolis, and when pearl asks what she can do to help, she closes her eyes and smiles. relaxing for just a moment. almost as if she's thinking to herself "pearl's here, it's gonna be okay." crying rn
@Kiwrye
i think about this all the time. whenever i see a white inkling with the cornrows hairstyle i'm like oh my fucking god what if this is toby fox
ok so. now to talk abt something that's been bothering me for a while. more often than not people change shiver's facial features. so much? like more often than not i'll see them with a typical anime girl face and like. where's their narrow eyes. their round face. c'mon guys
thinking abt the squid sisters,,
they started off with a contest, got a producer, a career, fame. they were so small, had so many jobs over the years. in splatoon 1 callie states that singing is her passion but her passion was always exploited. she didn't get to be a child.
homophobic off the hook fans are so funny i've had someone argue to me that they're just Gal Pals who just so happen to live together and love each other openly and swoon over each other and they're More Like Sisters than anything else
splatoon fans will do anything but refer to canon captain 3 with they/them pronouns. they've used those since octo expansion there's not really an excuse. 😅
@kasumifujoyama
THAT'S WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING!!! "ohhh tummy out sexy outfit that's for the male audience" WRONG! look at the shorts on top of the shimmery leggings. the earrings. thong showing. she's here for the ladies who will have her
no, i don't think it's obvious. can you explain to everyone, in detail, what about a 14 year old wearing a form-fitting shirt screams "sexual content" to you?
@kissinglesson
90% of the dlc for splatoon 3's dialogue was them flirting with each other in front of their 2 other friends. it also revealed marina has a picture of pearl as her laptop wallpaper. every splatoon fan has had pearlina artificially injected into their brain at this point
@Kiwrye
me neither tbh,, but from what i've been seeing everyone is expecting splat 4 to just go and do its own thing, so in this hypothetical i think it would be more like an end to the trilogy rather than the lead up to the sequel
pearlina is the story of an unlikely love, one marked by wanting to discover and wanting to be understood. marina came to the surface looking for freedom, but had no guidance. pearl is a free spirit - she goes where she feels and that's her guide. +
@0CTOCHARG3R
the day people understand that the main characters' views on salmonids (except for eight. shout-out to the salmonid mem cake poems) are inherently mistaken as a consequence of propaganda much like how octarians are treated pre-oe is the day i'll be free
if i see another person say callie wasn't brainwashed in splatoon 2 i'll run into the woods and survive exclusively by eating tree branches and small rocks
saw some people trying their best to misinterpret this - i'm talking about CANON captain. not your oc. the captain 3 that appears IN THE GAME uses they/them pronouns and that's what i'm talking about.

in my opinion, sometimes the fandom overcompensates with frye's femininity.
don't get me wrong, she can dress cute! she looks pretty in skirts and frills, but she isn't just some pretty princess sitting there looking cute, she's loud! brash and rowdy and she never backs down.
sometimes i think to myself "my agent ocs are kinda cringe and stupid, maybe i should just draw the agents from promotional material" but then that idea is crushed when i remember agent 4 isn't fat and butch in canon
@OneEyedOli
i'm not saying aroace marie is a bad headcanon you can't have. i'm just saying that i've seen this specific set a million time and it just sort of comes off as weird to me when people say it makes sense "based on their personalities". have fun this is just my opinion
this is gonna sound odd but i wanna know more about religion in splatoon. the artificial sun in the inkadian octarian bases is called "the great octarian", so that implies a certain level of anthropomorphism, no? do they worship it? the fax machine is seen as a deity, too...
@gumwoof
imagine it's like a group selfie taken outside and there's light shining directly on top of where 4 is in the picture so it just looks like they upped the exposure by like 200%
@apostleoforder
god exactly. like ah yes look at this completely able-bodied person who definitely has the energy to be walking around everywhere and doing all the shit for everyone and just chooses not to. they're just lazy amirite. nothing to see here
@kissinglesson
PLEASE do there's an alt octopus who uses they/them pronouns and like a genuinely really surprising amount of clever social commentary and detail in the characters
