She doesn't really care about the zapfish or inklings, she just wants to catch the next Octarian telenovela.

A rare smile, she's usually got a mean resting face.

DOTTIE VS STRIPES... A TALE OF TWO SQUIDDIES!!!

happy 10th birthday splatoon! in celebration i’ve made this comic about how dottie and stripes got to know each other. it is part origin-story and part homage to splatoon 1.

believe it or not, i actually started drafting this when splatoon 3 had just come out. i had trouble following through with it over the past two years and then realized it would be a fun project to really push myself to complete for this special anniversary. i had to put a lot of intense hours into finishing it on time!

seeing this series march through 10 years has been surreal, i feel like these days it is rarer to be able to witness a completely new series start out and grow exponentially over the following years. my memory of watching the very first e3 trailer for splatoon in all its wiiu glory is still so incredibly vivid… hitting refresh on my wonky phone during my lunchbreak in senior year of highschool! i didnt even have a wiiu at that point and knew that instant i had to get one :'D

wild to now think about how i was really excited but even so would have no idea what was about to hit me. the addiction to the gameplay, the obsession with its world, the nonstop inspiration it would give me to making characters and carving out my own little slice of its universe. not to mention how my closest most treasured friendships really blossomed out of playing the game together! even outside of that, i’ve had such wonderful passing interactions with many different people, of course that being many of you. i seriously cannot thank you guys enough for all the kind and encouraging words you’ve ever left on any of my posts these past 10 years! we’ve all grown up so much!

anyhow… my tribute to splatoon affecting my life for the best! i hope you enjoy :~)

Ten inkredible years of keeping it fresh and I can't help but hope for more.

Whenever I see a hc that Callie was scarred from the S2 story mode, I just picture the situation being very somber.

Bree loves rank mode but it has its rough patches.
