How Splatoon makes a controversial Fnaf theory work better in their universe, and other parallels. (Really.)
[Side Order spoilers]
I beat Side Order in 3 hours on my 3rd try at 3am. No I am not joking. I used a slosher. I currently have 9 lockers yet to open, so if anything important comes up, I will update.
I couldn't help but notice the parallels right at the beginning, freeing Marina from Order's control. I went neuron activation, VANESSA.
But then they started talking more about Octo Expansion lore, which made me get all giddy, because 14 y/o me had the biggest fascination with the Sanitized Octolings, and how Commander Tartar built up his scheme to the point we encounter him.
They referred something or other about the color chips/pallettes as "souls" which caught my attention. They're like broken soul pieces? Alright. We already know a comically large kitchen utensil blends octopuses into life goop. What exactly happens to the ones that look like this?

Why are you green?
Marina's logs read:

So okay. I, personally, despise Molten MCI. I think it takes away of a ton of character's individuality, and makes more things confusing, all to explain some old man's rambling in a non-canon ending.
It works for Splatoon's case, because we already had no information about any of the octolings before Sanitization. (Aside from Acht.) We didn’t have time to make that up for ourselves, because we never knew about any of this beforehand, like how we filled in the gaps with underwritten characters for fnaf.
However I'll keep reading and see what else can line up here.

This is leaning into TFC territory. So for less Splatoon knowledgeable readers, Marina is trying to take, essentially what is the Freddy amalgam in TFC, and trying to deconstruct it with each animatronic having everything from their respective endoskeletons. That's best way I can explain it. (For a reader more knowledgeable with Steven Universe, she's trying to fix the forced fusions like Yellow.)
Except the difference here is that the products of Kamabo are, well, orderly, and not animalistic.
The logs that sold it for me:

So in fnaf speak: From a Molten MCI perspective, (blech,) melting down the infused metal, transferring it into data, and putting that data gloop into playable avatars in an arcade game where they can choose the bits of remnant that belong to them, putting themselves back together.
However, with my neuron activation Order=Mimic, that would mean Mimic MCI, but WAIT COME BACK. IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE.
I have yet to get the rest of the lore bits, but as far as I know, Order, (I'm not calling him Smollusk,) is an AI with the generalized ideals Kamabo has programming into the Sanitized Octolings. (I swear he's just leftovers of Tartar. I know it in my heart.) Mimic copies everything it sees, and learns incredibly fast. It learned the tragedies and rumors of Fazbear Ent, and according to Tiger Rock, he's running most of the Pizza Plex, which makes profits of said tragedies he's learned. Did Mimic orchestrate everything? No. He probably has no understanding of anything he's doing, he just does it because that's all he knows. The company started it.
Basically,
Kamabo Co.= Sleazy NewGen Fazbear Ent.
Order=Mimic.
How ever this ends, I'm using as evidence for how I predict the SteelWool plot to resolve/hj
Conc1usion: Marina and Henry should meet up. Well maybe not, if Marina wants permanent results.
I find it telling that with a plot so similar to a Fnaf theory that I hate, I actually really like this idea. And I think it's because it's not Fnaf. It's almost the exact same concept, but it makes much more sense and flows better in Splatoon's world. Probably because it was intentionally written that way, and is supposed to be shamelessly absurd and scifi. I like that I'm able to enjoy a concept I hate.
Analogy: Chocolate is good. I like when a pre existing food item I enjoy has an added chocolate exterior. Like strawberries. Sometimes, there are instances where that is not the case, like bacon. It exsists, and you either love it or hate it. I like both base consumables, and I like the additive, but it works better for one than the other.
Literal speak: I like the scifi horror concept of brainwashing with the actual person person being trapped or lost in a specific state, while their body is just another puppet for the main antagonist, and it takes some Cyber Chase shenanigans to free everyone. That's a rad concept. I just like it better when it's applied to a world that is planned for that kind of take, rather than to a world I already enjoyed, but scrambled to cut itself to fit that shape because it almost fit. It works better for a wacky scifi dystopia, not a campy paranormal horror.
Conclu2ion: Some things are best left for other stories.
Oh and both franchises have a known history of bangin soundtrack.

marina (tall lesbian) and pearl (short lesbian) are idol duo off the hook! pearl comes from a rich family, and tried to do a solo career but struggled with it due to a destructive voice (literally. physical destruction) and her heavy metal music just not growing in the industry (one of her songs from this time is #$@%* dudes be #$@%* sleeping, aka fucking dudes be fucking sleeping, assumedly a song about her being pissed at her teammates)
meanwhile, marina was an octarian soldier and tech, a high ranking member in fact. however, during the events of splatoon 1’s hero mode, the squid sisters (callie and marie) sang the calamari inkantation, snapping her out of things and making her choose to desert the army. she, not knowing how to speak the inkling language, met pearl, who taught her. marina realized pearl also liked music and the two decided to form off the hook together!
they’re mostly present in the dlcs, splatoon 2’s octo expansion and splatoon 3’s side order. octo expansion follows agent 8, who deserted the army as well. however, they weren’t as lucky as marina was, and they (while just kinda wondering) fell into the deepsea metro (a subway station controlled by an ai) with agent 3 (agent of splatoon 1’s hero mode) and captain cuttlefish. captain cuttlefish tries to radio for help from the other two agents (agents 1 and 2, aka callie and marie) but marina and pearl intersect the broadcast and offer their help! leading to them arriving by helicopter as agent 8 completes the climb with the others (after beating the ai out of agent 3), marina figuring out how to officially kill the ai, and pearl using the power of her voice to fucking destroy it!
thing is, that ai wanted to control all of them, just like it did for so many other octarian deserters who just wanted to see the surface. marina wants to free them, so in splatoon 3’s side order she begins creating the memverse! she creates smollusk to be kinda the “host” of the memverse, enlists the help of another agent, agent 4 (splatoon 2 hero mode agent), as the security system, and then also codes a drone version of pearl to help the memoryless/sanitized ex-octarians find their memories and stuff. this is where i need to start mentioning that in this dlc.. yeah pearlina’s probably 100% canon now. one of the dev diaries marina writes something along the lines of “and i’ll put myself at the top of the spire, and pearl will lead them to me! wait, would that make me like a princess? i’ll make a tower worth you the climb, brave pearl! <3” there’s a bunch of other things that are like “woah. lesbin” so like. there’s no way they ain’t canon you can’t hide the truth nintendo
