Ive had this boy for a long time, but finally he at least gets to be drawn. I think for my characters of splatoon i’ll keep a food naming convention considering Mello, i.e. marshmellow, Suika (watermelon) 

much like green apples hes quite a tangy fun boy , full of energy and pep in his step for a battle

Cephalopod Musings

1.) if Inkling “ears” are their fins in squid form, then ear shape and fin shape should be roughly similar, and any modification to the ears should be reflected on the squib fins

2.) Nintendo wanted Octoling “ears” to be One Siphon and… a mystery structure? Do they breathe from their ears? What is that other “ear” structure on the non siphon side? Anyways instead of dealing with these questions I have given Octos Littol Fins, because the Splat Bio inkfish evolution is like this

Also, it looks cute.

3.) current idea of Limb Arrangement

4.) I don’t know how to deal with facial “hair” in ceph form so I will not do it right now

Enjoy these squishy friends

A few school-related headcanons:

Inkling primary school starts at around age 4-6. It basically functions the same way as grade school does in human society, encompassing kindergarten up to roughly the beginning of high school. It stops at age 14, and after that Inklings can begin to move out, get jobs, and start their own lives.

Further schooling is optional, and many Inklings just stop attending at this point. But some choose to continue into secondary/high school. It sorta blends in with what we’d consider college-level education as you go further up, being optional higher education (that really anyone could go to at any point in their lives). Some more specialized schools, such as Inkblot Art Academy, also exist for those interested.

Meanwhile in Octaria: military/engineer-class Octolings go through mandatory military academy training starting ~5-6. Working-class Octolings go through basic education, then some specific training before being dumped into the workforce. Thus, Octolings tend to be knowledgeable at weaponry, engineering, math, and technology, but not so much at everything else. Upon arrival in Inkopolis, many Octolings opted to go back to school to pick up what they missed in Octarian state-run training.

#oooh aaah #this is really neat!

i feel like a lot more of the octo expansion is symbolic than literal. we know that the metro, although real, is displaced from reality, but that also feels like.. a direct reference to the idea of it serving as a liminal space between the underground and inkopolis

#this is beautiful

[cephaloco]
