hey you know how Haikara Walker hasn't seen a single sign of an official english localization after all these years?

wouldn't it be crazy if it got fully fan translated and typeset. cover to cover. that sure would be crazy. anyway don't click this google doc link. and be sure to avoid this internet archive link.

....but if you do click those links, be sure to read the credits! I did a lot of translations and editing, but not all of it, and I had no part in the gargantuan task of typesetting and formatting. @mk_squid (insta link) is especially who made this possible, as well as @wassuppeas!

what is it about mako mart that strips every splatoon player of their honor. of their dignity. of their morals. we become animals. we do not adhere to scales of home turf, middle turf, enemy turf, within 45 seconds the teams have both completely painted each others spawn points. a round on mako mart ends and the ink distribution is like looking at the back of a yu-gi-oh card. like looking at a slice of marble cake. the rules are nothing, WE are nothing, the second mako mart is chosen as the map of the hour you forget your ideals. you forget everything. the match ends and its like waking up. you say you're gonna strategize, gonna keep mainly on your own side of the map next round, but you cant tell whether you're on your side of the map or the enemy's side of the map by the time you hit the 2 minute mark. you have no idea where you are. you know nothing. clean up on aisle SOMEWHERE

splatoon really is the best game on earth because instead of being named normal things the weapons are named like. The 5 dollar Sloppy Toppy 200. The Squirtmaster. The Hypergouger Supreme . and the competitive scene is sincerely along the lines of “if you don’t Sloog with the Slippy You slosh too much to activate your Messy Special” . “i main the Tony super sucker “ and it’s like ok okay.

i love palestinian and arab culture so much.

my grandma wearing thobes around the house and making us tamriyeh. my cousins wedding when we all wore thobes and keffiyehs and took photos downtown and we danced with someone playing the guitar on the street and this lady stopping us to tell us we all looked so beautiful. walking the graduation stage in a thobe. the girl who liked to guess arab peoples ethnicities telling me "you're wearing tatreez... do you want me to write 'palestinian' on your forehead?" the keffiyeh my brother keeps on the drivers seat of his car.

my dad sending me off to my last semester of college with 2 pomegranates and a jar of palestinian olive oil. my cousins wife coming up with new ways to make zaatar and cheese pastries. me and my grandma sitting on the floor and making waraq 3neb- my job was to separate the leaves so she could roll them easier. my mom sending me and my brother to school with eid cookies for my teachers and tasking us with delivering some to the neighbors. my aunt glaring at me and piling more food on my plate and then asking if i was still hungry (i wasnt). my mom always telling me to invite my friends and cousins over for dinner and asking me what they like to eat. my family getting my dad knafeh instead of cake for his birthday. the man who told me i made the "best fetteh in the western hemisphere".

the man in the shawarma shop who gave me my fries for free and baklava i didnt order because we spoke about being palestinian while he took my order. the person on tumblr who i bonded with because we are from the same palestinian city. the girl i met on campus who exclaimed "youre palestinian? me too!" because i was wearing my keffiyeh. the girl in my class that showed me the artwork about palestine her dad made and donated for fundraising. the couple in the grocery store who noticed my palestinian shirt and talked with me for 20 minutes and ended up being a family friend. the silly palestinian kids i tutored sighing in disappointment when i told them i was born in america because they were hoping that id have been born "somewhere cooler". my friends family who bought me dinner despite me being there by chance and having met me for the first time the day before.

the boys starting uncoordinated dabke lines in my high school's hallways. the songs about the longing and love for our land. the festivals and parties and gatherings where everything smells like shisha and oud. memories of waiting in the car for an hour as my parents talked at the doorway of their friends homes. my cousins and i showing up at each others homes with cake or fruit or games as if it was the first time we ever visited even though we always say "you dont have to".

kids stubbornly helping to clean and make tea after a meal while being told to go sit down because they are guests. the necklaces in the shape of our home countries. people hugging and laughing and acting as if theyve known each other for years because they come from the same city or know people with the same last name. the day i finally got to bully my friends into letting me pay the bill because i had a job and they were still students. my moms friend who calls us every time she's at the grocery store to see if we need something

palestinian people are so resilient and hardworking and charitable. they love their culture and their community and are so quick to share and welcome anyone in. everyday i am so thankful and proud to be part of such a warm and lovely culture

can splatoon theoretically exist irl

possibly? uh off the top of my head splatoon takes place about 10,000 years post human extinction, and their rapid evolution was caused by humans, specifically the scientists who took shelter in alterna as a last ditch effort to preserve humanity. if the kind of technology that leaked into the water causing the evolution of the marine life was possible to replicate, i guess it could happen. i doubt sea creatures will evolve, but the rest of the splatoon lore that takes place before human extinction is currently happening as we speak.
