i think we as a society should acknowledge the existence of (Overl)order a little more. It is literally the main antagonist and it gets ignored so much and for WHAT!!! IVE SEEN LIKE 3 ARTS OF IT!! WHY!!!

I think we should draw and write them being just as much of a goober as smollusk me thinks. Thats just my opinion.

#splatoon #side order #order splatoon #overlorder #I think its mostly because of the very limited screentime it gets in comprasion to smollusk... #Lil bro appears for like. 3 scenes and then dips in favor of smollusk #I think rhats one of the reasons why I mildly dislike smollusk so much... #But its ok I love tou order my pookie bear 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾 #any order fans out there PLEASE INTERACT /silly but sorta gen

yeah i'm just as sad (and slightly in denial) as every other agent 4 fan, but i don't entirely mind the idea of parallel canon being a copy instead of directly being 4. i feel like there's still some good horror/angst potential there, y'know?

#hear me out here. #you've encountered plenty of horrors already but suddenly you're facing this /thing/ that looks + acts almost exactly like someone you know #it makes stiff robotic versions of the gestures they always use. coldly taunts you in their distorted voice. #cries out in pain in their voice. and you just have to bury your sympathy and remind yourself that it's not them #a fake. a copy. a twisted mockery of the one you love. #you almost wish it really was them because then you'd have reason to pity it #but hope as you may there is nothing to save - to show mercy to - behind those blank red eyes. just a program. #a methodical killer made in an oh-so-familiar likeness. #okay im normal again ! i love splatoon 💛 #for reference this post was made at 11:30pm. this is why i should never post while tired. the Evil Thoughts come out at night #splatoon #side order #marie's musings #⛺🪲

Enter: The Vibrant Electromancer!

Though my sona doesn’t actually play a role in the main story, if he did, this would be his battle outfit I guess. Also, I decided that my ink is dual-colored, similar to Big Man’s. Soda is my signature color, but my lightning powers are purple, so I had to incorporate them both into my ink color. Although, the purple part of my ink is muted, like how it is on my eels, so not as bright as my actual purple. (I tried making the purple parts of the eels glow as well but it didn’t look that good.)

i do wish there was a blocking feature in splatoon tbh so i can get those assholes to stfu for once like the egotistical losers that they are and ur fav sucka too and i also hope she continously loses even more since u assholes arr the reason why u cant let anybody have fun and its literally ur fault to begin with and nobody fucking cares abt ur stupid dumb usesless """"""celebrations""""""" anyways as well as how u basically give frye of all ppl the pearl treatment for no reason whatsoever when even ur so called """""fav character"""""" has more common sense than u do and that shiver and big man are 1000000000000000x better anyways since frye really is kinda overrated because of a CERTAIN GROUP in particular am i right??????????????????

anyways im prob not gonna gp back there for a while until every1 can finally stfu for once cuz i wish samr ol actually won instead of u c**ky overly sensitive pieces of shits who ruin everything for once cuz honestly who even fucking cares lmaoooooo

oh and btw my biggest regret was not joining team friday in the weekend splatfest since i wish i was on that team for once just to make u all pathetic pieces of shit clowns feel bad since all u idiots ever do nowadays is take silly fun thinga way too srsly and that the onlh reason i kinda joined saturday anyways is only cuz i just like it and not being overly obsessive abt it compared to all pf u dumb fucking losers out there who have 0 to no sympathy whatsoever

talk abt """"""good sportsship"""""" am i right????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? 🙃

#lunas rambles and shit :3 #splatoon 3 #splatfest #gonna add those fucking tags just to taunt/piss u off even further than i already have after what u fucking did to me lmaooooooo #i hope u all lose every other splatfest INCLUDING FINALFEST as well cuz its why u deserve for being stupidly annoying in general #and have fun accusing me of stuff that im not over a fucking opinion or some shit too cuz i love to see u try bitching and whining #abt it for once <3333333333333333 #this is sarcasm and idgaf anymore i just really hate all of u for basically rigging the game to ur favor #over the most pettiest and dumb “”“”“”reasons“”“”“”“ imaginable and hell even the oth f**base or some shit likely has more common sense #than u do or just any better person out there (including myself) in general lmaoooooooooooo

Hydrolisk - King Salmonid

A lumbering, sort-of-slow king salmonid that only recently began to appear in salmon runs. When it appears it opens all geysers on a map, with both of its heads taking up two random geysers! (Lesser/Boss salmonids no longer come from the shoreline, and instead from the non-occupied geysers when this fellas around)

Each head will take turns attacking the ink/octoling that's furthest away with a jet of ooze, much like Stingers; though they have a much longer cooldown period when compared to said boss (and, even if it misses, the trail of ooze these attacks leave makes it much easier for lesser salmonids to get to you faster).

Your goal is to close all geysers and then attack the heads, as killing a head while geysers are open will cause two more to come back in its place. (For this reason it's also not the wisest to use bombs or high-damage specials with this king around, as is has incredibly low health and accidentally killing a head will make the whole thing just... generally more unpleasant)

On the salmonid-side of things, these two have a pretty mild temper (at least, one head does, the other tends to be more underhanded), especially when compared to Horror & Coho. The two heads often fight each other over literally everything though.

thanks to @bootleggreely for help with their design!

#splatoon #splatoon 3 #salmonid #splatoon oc #king salmonid #i love these 2 :]] #heavily based on snatchers and stingers #also their name is just a play on hydra & hydrothermal vents & basilisk #since the ooze they spit is literally boiling. theyre basically just a fish dragon #they both also make sure they only ever have 2 heads at a time. no real clear reason why beyond maybe its just not sustainable #so if theres any extra after a salmon run or general fight theyll both get rid of them by literally any means possible

YOU DONT EVEN KNOW !!!!!!

#lizz.txt #yes tis is about the art i just rb'd on main blog #ITS REALLY NICE AND CUTE ART u should perceive it. if you havent #what does it mean for ryoji and zen to be depicted in the same art??? WHAT DOES IT MEAN!!!! (IM SO DELUSIONAL YOU DONT EVEN KNOW) #art like that is making me want to go back to pq. i havent played for a week i get so distracted easily... #FUCK MAN. there could be no meaning to this. like how i will draw characters that are COMPLETELY unrelated for no reason #BUT MY BRAIN IS REALLY DEAD SET ON TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT ZEN IS.

People that have names that you can "nickname" (like idk calling a daniel danny) have no idea how lucky they are . None of my names are nicknamable and i crave NOTHING more than the pure affection contained within someone calling you a nickname . Specifically a shortened -ie or -y ending versjon of you name . If you got a name that thats possible with you are blessed by heaven above

#this is why my splatoon nametag says wolfie . #thats tge closest im getting to that cause several people will sometimes call me some variant of wolf like little wolf and wölfchen #(essentially equivalent to wolfie in german) like my mom and stuff just causee im associated w wolfs and like. theres no good nicknanes for #me . #and i like wolfie i think people that like me should call me that in lieu of a good nickname version of my actual.name cuz its got the same #sort of affectionate effect but still GODDDD how I wish my name was. nicknamable #this is the only reason i miss being called noctis cuz everybody would call me Noct and something about everyone using a nickname for #you is so. hrbgnnfng. 'people like me look at everyoje liking me enough to wanna use a nicjname!!!' yk. #I love randomly getting super emorjonak aboit insaneky incomsequential stuff . I WANNA BE CALLED A NICKNAME AGAIN SO BAD GODDDD .!!!! #Idk why the concept has sm meaning to me but it DOES.

i go to check out cool art in the junker queen tag n get someone complaining shes a pr shit from blizzard for more diverse women n shit n other weird bullfuckery

like dude, if you dont like the game, or the character, here's a revolutionary thing: dont play the game or consume media around it :)

#overwatch #tiny gay.txt #junkerqueen #dude i will never understand why folks get so butthurt over something they hate or dont like when they can just idk #not consume the media for the thing they hate? #its common sense #i get blizzard is a sketch company but i got overwatch 2 reasons #symmetra and milfs #and accidentally 3rd reason orisa i love robo baby so much #but yeah tldr dont mind me im just annoyed that people choose things to mald over that no one gives a shit about #why not mald with me over something more reasonable like blizzard's bullshit skin pricing n other fuckery #now THAT is something worth malding over #not some mad max inspired hot buff lady hell bent on mayhem and effectively running a more violent version of splatsville in splatoon 3 #shes a neat character n shes fun #not everyone plays ow or enjoys its characters for social commentary #its nice every once in a while but sometimes its nice to have some vaguely fun but boneheaded characters

[kakusu-shipping]

Sketches I mostly did to get the Vibe right before I really worked to make a real reference but I ended up really liking them more than the real reference so fkdgjkfdg

What if I was an Inkling mad doctor who 1. Created the King Salmonids and 2. Ate other Inklings would that be fucked up or what

#Emile's Arts #Splatoon OC #Splatoon Self Insert #Why not you know #I just. I loved the King Salmonids instantly but Meglodontia really REALLY got to me #Her braces... My baby girl I made those #He's a vampire squid thus the. Eating other Inklings part #And working around Salmonids. they're all about being eaten/eating their opponent #I know there's a running theory that Frye is a Vampire Squid so it's not aaaaaaaas solid a reason BUT #I wanna do it anyway. #This is what my Salmonid Dad S/I has evolved into #I still love my Salmonid children don't get me wrong they're my perfect little babies #I'm just a LOT more manic about it now

please tell us about deep sea expedition

yes.... finally......... i can SHILL..........

basically, deep sea expedition or WHATEVER it would be called would be the salmon run dlc. wave THREE of splatoon THREE's dlc waves. you feel me?

so i've done just two posts before about this idea, but it would star agent 4 as our player character. reasons why?

agent four and agent 8 both having dlcs in splat3 would be a great way to pay homage to splatoon 2, since both were the protagonists of that game

grizzco and salmon run were introduced to the series with splatoon 2, might as well have the protgaonist of that game be the one to end the salmon run story line since return of the mammalians focuses more on mr. grizz himself instead of the salmonids

the basic idea for gameplay i have for this DLC would be a mix of a more open world approach (think security breach: RUIN) alongside a the PVE horde gameplay from salmon run. agent 4 would have to fight through hordes of salmonids and other deep sea creatures to descend deeper to reach a sort of salmonid capital. think maybe like... sparta? since the salmonids are inspired by that. maybe a giant ass collesuem (i know thats in rome i do not care).

point is, you start near the surface and have to descend to defeat the bosses (ha get it. cus side order has an elevator where you go up? im clever i think sometimes)

actually this sounds a bit like doom. oh well

i'd like to think there's some sort of phenomena of like... underwater air pockets. like underwater caves? where a bunch of civilizations are maybe? would be pretty neat to see all the stuff where salmonids go when they arent doing the salmon run part, among other species that could live in these areas considered the deep sea metro

(the naming coincidences are not lost on me but i have no idea what else to call this hypothetical salmon run DLC)

story? agent 4 has been stranded in hostile, salmonid territory with no backup, a faulty pair of grizzco (tm) dualies, and her wits. 4 meets a goldie salmonid, named chrysos, who takes 4 under their fin (ha) to help them find a way home. 4 and chrysos must explore deeper into the heart of the sea to find enough super golden eggs (name and idea pending) to have enough power to send 4 home.

thats the working synopsis anyway, excluding major spoilers and all

apart of the open world sections of the DLC would have the player controlling 4 and chrysos in a kind of open world diving situation. four is equipped with a prototype pressurized underwater scuba gear that makes it safe for ink-based people to go underwater! its grizzco brand and needs many upgrades (that could be acquired thru out the story).

im thinking for these sections you'd be timed to find an air pocket or new treasure of sorts? and if you run out of time idk 4 runs out of air or something and gets splatted. dw they have a life preserver which chrysos would reactivate to save four, basically restarting the level from the beginning.

chrysos would be a very straightforward character with a dry sense of humor and a natural curiosity for all things from the surface. they're helping 4 out of the goodness of their heart and to satiate that curiosity of what inklings are like, among other reasons.

they pluck one of their scales at the beginning of the story to help power up the faulty grizzco dualies, which would also be a tutorial on how to like.... level up? get upgrades? not sure

this was long! if you have any more questions feel free to ask. i love the salmonids and i love agent 4. mwah
