do you believe in life after love? genuinely

i do believe in life after love because i believe that survival, in its own, is worth living for, and the experience of the world does not need to cherish you back to be beautiful. but love does help

As a long time DM/GM/MC, my biggest advice is to reward your players' ingenuity, and let them control the world. If one of your PCs voices a theory you think is smart or interesting, make it true. If they come up with a novel solution to a situation, reward them by having it work.

A lot of the time you hear advice that begins and ends with 'avoid railroading', but in my experience this is how you actually do that. Don't be afraid to discard entire sections of your fleshed out world, or reuse them elsewhere on the fly. Let your players lead you where they want to go, and pave the way as they walk with aspects of the story they seem drawn to. Everything your players haven't seen yet is in flux.

This isn't to say you should make your story predictable, but instead use your players' expectations as a beacon, and adhere to or subvert them as you see fit.

The part about a player’s theory being interesting and making it true seems super cool!!!!!!!

Thank you for this advice!! I’ll try my best to do these things

omg omg omg how did race end up in the refuge

omg omg thank u for the questionn!!!!

okay so thr question is almost better as how doesnt Race end up in the refuge

so for some reason, a policeman has taken a great hatred of race and so whenever they see him they arrest him and bc the judge is crooked (and race never has bail) he gets sent to the refuge, sometimes for just a few days, other times weeks or months. spot and Jack assumed he was dead the first time he was ever in there (after about the.. fifth time or so , the three of them agree on a system, that if Race isn't at lodging by midnight, and he hasn't sent a message to say he'll be late, they should act as if he's in the refuge)

as for what race actually gets charged with: well, there is a wealth of crimes at the disposal of a cruel policeman in 1899. Loitering is a favourite, "suspicious lurking" another, spitting at an officer, trying to punch one so he could get away, if Race is ever found in a fancier part of town it's called "disturbing the peace", suspected thievery (only a handful of times has he been caught when he'd actually been thieving). One of the worst imprisonments was when race was found kissing another boy in an alleyway.

He's almost always kept in solitary confinement.

Agent 8 crumbs PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASSPLSASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE

Okay well i GUESSSS i can ramble about agent 8 🙄 if i mustt

He/She Eight forever and always ^-^ people (including herself) default to she/her but she doesnt mind! Either prns are fine any time. Also doesnt label her sexuality he's just balling

Aside from all the sanitized kamabo bullshit i think hitting her head after the fight with agent 3 actually did give her some Lasting Brain Damage, and she has problems with forgetting things. Her and Agent 4's apartment is PLASTERED with sticky note reminders, even for stuff like "close the fridge" "turn off the stove" because she WILL forget to do that part

Agent 4 made her a little cookbook that step-by-step tells her how to make her favorite foods with those menial reminders to turn stuff on and off and close doors

AND she and Agent 4 have made what they call Eight's Brain Board, whoch is a crime board style corkboard that lays out all her memories and how they relate to each other just in case she forgets again. Proudly on display in their room

Likes wood-and-metalworking just to make little trinkets, most of the time Octivus or Squidmas gifts. The definition of Hobby On The Side that keeps her hands sharp. The first one she made on the surface was a little Salmonid keychain she gifted to Agent 4 ^-^

Still writes poetry too. She doesnt mean for it to be 8-8-8 syllables they literally just. Happen like that. She'll write a poem about literally anything. she wrote one about Agent 4's freckles

I know Donny is the shopkeeper in-game but Eight is the actual store manager for the Ammo Knights in Inkopolis Square. Sheldon hired her before he moved to Splatsville and she proved to be a VERY good employee so he let her take over the store

She and Sheldon often have friendly races between who can take apart and put a weapon back together the quickest. Eight's record is less than 2 minutes for a Hydra Splatling

Eight takes her job SUPER seriously and absolutely Will Not Budge on anything like prices or weapon availability. No "i left my ID at home" or "i'm basically level 10 cant i just have that one" she does NOT care. Rules are rules and by jove she will not only follow but she WILL enforce them

^ that being said she also HATES Grizzco. She doesnt like their shady vibe and has heard many horror stories about the actual work from Agent 4 (who works there to pay off his student loans) and she really really REALLY despises how they illegally modify weapons for golden rotations. Every time she finds a modified weapon she instantly confiscates and dismantles it. It's like a spit in the face to her entire career and she will not stand for it

Very good with teenagers! Mostly bc thats the majority of who comes into the shop. She loves hearing about their battle tales and has been jotting down little plotlines that unfold in her store (like a kid trying a new weapon to impress their crush, or someone climbing up the ranks in Clam Blitz, that type thing)

She has a reputation for being super nice to everyone but really its because she just has a really long fuse. It takes a LOT to get her mad

Charger main! She's amazing with any charger you put in front of her and she's an absolute MENACE in an inkbattle. Her favorites change but "you can never go wrong with a good and standard Splat Charger"

Her favorite battle mode is Tower Control!

She also Is crushing on Cap3 but she will literally never make a move. Partly bc they live across the ocean in splatsville now but also It's Agent 3. The Legendary Agent 3. Theyre Too Cool For Me (Agent 4 has been trying to wingman them together ever since they started hanging out. the pining is mutual theyre both just flustered. Hes suffering)

Idol relationships!!!!!!! Since she is genuinely good friends with Agent 3 she's frienda by proxy with the squid sisters. They dont really have a lot in common and dont hang out much but she and Marie like being menaces in inkbattles together because theyre both cracked with a Charger and love causing problems. Imagine 2 E-Liters on the Brinewater ledge. Hell. She finds it easy to chat with Callie and they'll talk about literally anything. Callie just has that effect on people i think

She sees Pearl and Marina as cousins, partly bc Pearl started calling her Cousin as a nickname but they really are like family. She lived with them for a solid month learning the language and etiquitte before they couldnt put off their Idol Jobs any longer, which is when she started living with Agent 4. They check in with each other every day and fuckig. LOVE EACH OTHER. She always gets front row tickets to their shows

Has only met Deep Cut very very briefly while being a roadie for OTH's world tour. They indimidate her but she'll take Marina's word that Big Man is chill at least. She's also heard good things about their heroism in Alterna from Cap3 so at the moment theyre vaguely Okay in her book

Also besties with Acht ^-^ initially bonding over Side Order bullshit but she finds their practical blunt nature to be really refreshing and calming. They mostly parallel-play when they hang out together. Like cats. She really likes their new music (can't listen to any Kamabo songs without feeling Bad after :( trauma and all. Acht respects this)

Shelly and Donny absolutely LOVE HER. She always entertains their kiddie ramblings and helps them out if they need a hand at their store, and theyre always welcome to work at her store if theirs is slow and they want something to do. She teaches them more about the weapons in a hands-on way so they have more to tell the customers rather than just parroting Sheldon

Speaking of, she's also great friends with Sheldon! Technically he's her boss but hes a very chill boss and she's been invited to family gatglherings outside of work and such. A good friend to the Shellendorf family!

"Hey eight how are you so cheerful all the time you have a very busy job and lots of friends to keep up with! Whats your secret!" Shes literally just in love with life. Thats it. After dealing with so much shit underground and nearly losing everything in Kamabo she has a huge appreciation for life itself. She relishes in the good and accepts the bad because at least she has a choice to experience it all. That being said can trauma responses go away she doesnt quite like those

(Hiiii :3 watch out here comes the extremely thought out backstory i made under the cut)

The reason shes so good with Chargers is actually because she was training under a Special Forces unit in the Octarian Army

She was known in her class for being super smart and quick on her feet but she just CANT build up any muscle mass, and the wasabi supply unit were already thinking of allowing Certain Octolings to use Chargers and Splatlings without being Octocommanders or Octosnipers, so they decided to guinea pig her with a Charger along with a smattering of other similar Octolings

She became like. SUPER good at using Chargers and a lot of her peers would call her The Next Marina because she surprised everyone with how cracked she was at like everything they threw at her. She never liked this comprison due to wanting to just Be Herself

She was also known for being extremely caring and empathetic, which landed her in hot water for speaking out against the way she and her fellow colleagues were treated as faceless soldiers, and wondered if plotting against the Inklings was even worth it st this point. She famously got in MASSIVE trouble for insinuating that they let The Great Zapfish go and was in Detention/Jail for like a While and nearly lost all her progress climbing up the ranks

Alsooooooo :3 in my personal canon she was part of the squad to escort Callie into Octo Canyon. It was her first time ever on the surface and once she got a taste for the real sun she needed more of it

(I know Octo Expansion is likely happening the same time as Splat2 Hero Mode but it makes sense for my canon for it to happen After)

Also she's 18 st the start of Octo Expansion just to tie back into the whole 8 thing they had going on

The whole hypnoshade thing was also thrust on Callie as a surprise and like. It's not fun to be Surprise Brainwashed so of course she fought back before the hypnoshades took effect. Eight still has a scar on her shoulder from where Callie dug her nails in. That experience was also the final nail in the "i gotta get out of here" coffin

Even though she had made up her mind to run away to the surface, it still really hurt to leave her life behind. She had real friends and even something romantic going on with someone special, as well as having actual good standings in the army with a bright future ahead of her, but the surface was more worth it in her eyes. being able to have her own life instead of one she was forced into was so appealing. Her friends think she's selfish and definitely resent her now (even though theyre fuzzed and barely remember her in turn)

Oh and also her name used to be Maia Idachi :3 but since she doesnt know her old name she can't find her file in Cap'n Cuttlefish's dossier. She doesn't want to go by facial recognition in case she mistakes her fime for someone else's and remembers something that never happened to her yknow (got Maia from amai, the japanese word to describe something sweet to tie into her being caring and empathetic, and Idachi from Idako which is the word for a species of Octopus)

[bwoahtastic]

Just some little thoughts about small female Nico because she and Jenson have me by the throat 😭

- Nico has the sharpest pointy elbows in existence. When Jenson and Mark rest their arms on her head to annoy her she elbows them really hard and because of the height difference gets them in the kidneys, which is absolute agony for them

- Nico wears giant heels to go out clubbing in because she hates being tiny and in the crush of a crowd but loves dancing too much to not go. The only problem is that they always make her feet hurt, and she always whines to Jenson to take his shoes off so that she can wear them. The first time Jenson does it Nico's feet just keep slipping out because his shoes are so much bigger than her feet and Jenson just carries her back home. She still asks him every time, but Jenson doesn't want to get his socks wet and carry her back, so he just carries her back.

- Nico is always cold. Jenson teases her relentlessly because she's half German and half Finnish and should be much better at coping with the weather, but despite her passport, she's a Monaco baby and needs the sun. Despite his teasing, Jenson helps her out by buying her a top of the line space heater for her driver's room, and Nico spends half of her life lying in front of it trying to get warm like a lizard in the sun. Jenson does miss her wearing his clothes to try and keep warm, but doesn't mind when she begins wearing his clothes to seduce him.

- the palm of Jenson's hand is bigger than the entirety of Nico's hand and Jenson loves looking at her hand in his, and how dainty and delicate even her hands are. When Nico's asleep in bed with him, Jenson can spend hours just stroking the back of her hand and marvelling at how soft it is.

- Jenson has sisters so he's actually very good at braiding hair. He loves sitting Nico in front of him and methodically braiding her hair to keep it out of her face. She's so tiny that what is averagely long hair on other people is all the way down at Nico's waist. Jenson is secretly sad when Nico cuts it short in an attempt to appear more mature and capable but the moment he realises that Nico is also upset about cutting her hair and only did it because of the team, he does whatever he can to make her smile again.

- Nico is half Finnish and so will just drink black coffee, although she is very particular about her roast, while Jenson has a stupidly complicated coffee order that no one ever seems to remember correctly. Nico always gets his coffee order right, and has been known to interrogate baristas just to be sure that it's correct.

- Jenson finds Nico speaking German to be stupidly hot. In the early days he likes to annoy her to the point that she snaps and starts shouting at him in German, but later on, all he has to do is ask and she'll happily purr at him in German.

- Jenson loves it when Nico lays directly on top of him. She doesn't weigh that much so he's always comfortable and he loves feeling her warmth on top of him. They often lay like that to watch TV, and Jenson inevitably sneaks a hand up her top, splaying his hand out over her back or stomach.

- Nico's waist is so tiny that Jenson can encircle it completely with his hands, even having a bit of room to spare. Sometimes, when Nico wants to get out of her own head and let Jenson take control, he'll stand her in front of a full length mirror in just a see through night dress and remind her of how tiny she is in comparison to him. He's so smooth and seductive that he can keep his hands wrapped around her waist, squeezing just a little bit, and talk her to the point of orgasm.

- Jenson is stupidly gone for Nico because she's so adorable and cute and grumpy like a little yowling cat, but Nico is also insane about Jenson too. She loves how protective he is, and how he makes her feel so safe. She loves that he always carries a specific shirt with him not because he's going to wear it but because she likes wearing it, and even though she spends most of her life trying to prove to people that she's tough and capable and can definitely kick their asses, Jenson is the one person that she doesn't feel like she has to prove anything to, so she doesn't mind being small and delicate with him.

SKDKWKD OMG I HAD A BLAST READING ALL OF THIS GHANK YOU SO SO MUCH YOU ARE FREAKING AMAZING

Sksksk nico with her knife elbows just shoving them in people's side when they are annoying, they are her weapon!

Nico shuffling around on her high heels! She can walk really well on them but tires our and just wants to be carried because she likes to be treated well! And pls her shuffling in jenson's huge shoes pouting that it'd hard and she needs to be carried still!

Plss monaco baby Nico always being cold and stealing Jenson's sweaters and coats until she gets her space heater and then she is legit just basking in it like a lizard sksksk. Jenson is happy she is happy butnalso a tiny bit sad because he misses Nico's scent and perfume on his clothes...

Tiny handss🥺🥺 Nico's hands are so small and Jenson's hands can cup around them, warm them up when she is inevitably cold again and she smiles so sweetly then! She loves it ehen he takes care of her like thst

Plss little nico having hair down to her waist and jenson happily spends ages braiding it for her cos she is too impatient and too fussy about the result when she does it herself. But then she cuts her hair cos the media team wanted her too snd she looks so sad... Jenson braids it as best he can still and compliments her but she is much happier after she grows it out again.

And plss nico always getting jenson's stupid complicated coffee order right! It's her way showing she cares, rattling it at the batista and double, triple checking it's absolutely perfect for her Jenson! He deserves the crappy frappuchino he loves so much!

Nico being so hot when she speaks German, her voice a bit lower, huskier, less like the media trained voice she has when speaking English. Nico definitely uses it in her favor when she realises, grinning when Jenson shudders hearing her speak German!

Jenson chilling on the sofa and nico just flops on him cos she needs the contact, nosing into his neck and letting him play with her hair and strokenher back and it's perfectly relaxing for both of them! And nico feels so safe and small in his arms when he circles her waist, big hands around her little waist as she just sinks into him (she also never cums harder then when he lifts her up standing and fucks her while holding her)

Pls Nico really is a grumpy cat but she is so loyal to Jenson! He never makes her want to prove herself, she knows he sees her worth and always treated her as equal. And she is so soft for the way he cares foe her! She can't trust people easily, thinks everyone wants smthn from her when they give e her help but she accepts Jenson's help readily!
