bloodhounds is really funny because. imagine some guy beats the shit out of you during a boxing match then you take him out to dinner and some months down the line you're living together wearing matching booty shorts and going on a ferry to Vietnam to catch a crime lord
Achi (THITIPOOM TECHA-APAIKHUN aka NEW) has reached his 30th Birthday. With nothing special in his life and he's still a virgin.
And now he had magical powers...the ability to hear the thoughts of people he touches.
Then he learns the office star Karan (TAWAN VIHOKRATANA aka TAY). The well put together smart handsome guy everyone admires and aspires to be has a crush on him. A major crush.
First Impressions: Thailand has obviously made some changes besides the names. Obviously this is the THAILAND ADAPTATION but although it could never stand up against the JAPANESE VERSION but with TAYNEW at the helm. This could be very special all on it's own.
Anyone else think it's kinda messed up that Skiff the Sailboat can't breath water?
Like. Dude is a BOAT. You would think that maybe because he's supposed to always be in the water he shouldn't be struggling to breathe all the time. Yet every time his face goes under he's always coughing and spluttering.
Like, why would they make a boat. That usually goes in the water. That can't breathe underwater? That just feels like needless struggling to me.
Me: Okay brain, it's about time we figure out some of the early scenes for A Snake in Horseland
Brain: Squid Time Mothafucka!
Anyway...
AU where "If Mario Was in... Splatoon" and subsequent Splatoon-related episodes were more faithful to Splatoon Canon (and also Agent 3 was Meggy's younger sibling)
Now, obviously not everything in Splatoon's lore is compatible with SMG4, most notably the whole "post-apocalyptic Earth where mammals are extinct" thing, but a lot of it is, and the stuff that isn't can still be addressed thanks to Retroactive SMG4 Lore Knowledge.
First off for the changes, obvious detail out of the way; the annual tournament Meggy was so fixated on until the end of "Meggy's Destiny" is going back to being called the Turf War Tournament like it was in the original episode because Splatfests are their Own Thing, and the fact that they're their Own Thing is really important for the story of Splatoon 2.
Next, "If Mario Was in Splatoon" came out a week before Splatoon 2, which for the sake of this AU means it takes place literal days before the disappearances of Callie and the Great Zapfish. It also means that this version of the episode happens in Inkopolis Square instead of Inkopolis Plaza, and Off the Hook are the ones to tell Mario about the tournament instead of the Squid Sisters.
(This bit doesn't have to do with canon adherence, but I'll also be taking the opportunity to actually flesh out Sam, Kenji and Heavy Squid as characters since I don't have youtube runtime limits or the effort of animating to worry about. Yes, the two Inkling Boys on the original Splat Squad apparently have canon names. Go figure.)
Because of the time frame, Cuttlefish and Three are already on the recon mission that gets them and Eight stuck in the Deepsea Metro while the episode is happening, and it would realistically take time to go through the tests and collect the Thangs, so it's a few months before Meggy gets to introduce her sibling to her new friends from out of town.
I haven't really worked out much beyond that (at least story-wise. I have figured out the directions I want to take the characters of the Splat Squad and Canon Splatoon Characters, but that's for another post), except that Meggy isn't aware that her sibling is Agent 3 until the Anime Island part of the Anime Arc. I figure the NSS would absolutely get involved in this continuity, both because protecting the people of Inkopolis is literally their job and because of Meggy and Marie being among those abducted by Francis.
so. i have some Conclusions To Draw. I don't think having Betty around would have actually done much to help Simon stop that downward spiral of his, and I can reasonably infer this because of Farmworld.
in the episode named after Betty, we learn that the reason Simon never saw Betty again after putting on the crown is because she kept through a portal leading a thousand years into the future. (I love Betty she's nuts) Now, in Farmworld, that portal is never made because Simon dies before he can make it.
This has some interesting implications! For one, taking from some dialogue during Finn The Human, Marceline says that Simon stopped the mushroom bomb before it went off, and that they already knew each other by that time. Now, from what I've seen, it's not said outright that in our world those two didn't know each other before the bomb went off, it just doesn't make much sense. And we have seen how badly into the crown's influence Simon was before the bomb exploded. About the same as what Marceline's flashback shows, actually! Maybe a little better.
(yes I am doing weird things with this timeline. hold on.)
So. Because Betty never went into that portal to the future, she either stuck around with Simon (this somehow leading to Simon knowing Marcy before the bomb drops and to Simon sacrificing himself to stop it) or. Leaves on her own? Which seems out of character for her, though I don't have anything solid to support that, just how devoted Betty is to Simon. And vice versa, of course.
Somehow Betty's presence doesn't slow down Simon's change. It just keeps moving forward at what looks to be exactly the same rate as in the world that would become Ooo.
