next time you make a post can it be about me instead?

okay sure :3

[rassicas]

ok um. what's the second worst piece of splatoon lore do u know

thanks for asking! <3

The tanuki statue in Inkopolis plaza has visible testicles in its concept art! you know. as tanuki statues do.

unfortunately it appears to have been castrated for the final game... but appearances are not what they seem.... if you can clip through the building. zoom in closer.

there is in fact, a nutsack clipping through the roof of the building containing the squid sisters studio.

(screenshot is from a model rip of S1 inkopolis plaza. if anyone can get a screenshot to confirm if the balls are there in s3 inkopolis plaza PLEASE let me know)

have u ever thought about drawing body horror of computers

I have! i never went like. full blood and guts inside the computer case ( if that's what you mean? or would it be fucked up wires and broken screens? it's difficult to get visceral horror across when the subject of the body horror is a computer) but i did some adjacent stuff :)

these two are kinda in line with that idea:

and this one is more angel- centered but it goes with the others

also honorable mention:

*knocks your glass over with my big boobs* oops uh oh whoopsie

oh this is a devious innovation in catgirl misbehavior strategies, causing problems boobfully so it's harder to be upset about it

i'm still hiding the churu treats though

Since Leshy is a big sentient worm with Plant on his body, do you think he would grow catnip for Morgan if he knew how to do or was even capable of it at all?

He can't grow specific things on himself, but he wish he could

hiiii emma, can u talk about your process for awake shifting? does it differ from your anti-method? thank u angel!!

the anti-method. and awake shifting. and me. hi.

hi snookums !!!!! thank you for enabling me. i love when we enable each other. you've tuned into the exact wrong frequency to stay grounded. perfect. now we spiral.

yes i still use the anti-method. of course i do. i'm loyal. i'm traditional. i'm clinically suspicious of reality and emotionally attached to loopholes. the only difference is now i'm vertical. upright. blinking !!!

if you want to know more about it, do go ahead and read this post here.

　here's my process .

no prep. don't lie down, although you can. whatever. don't breathe deep. just be. wherever you are. nothing to fix.

get suspicious. notice how things feel a bit…... wrong. light looks weird. you can't remember what you did 6 seconds ago.

drop the question. what if i already shifted and just forgot? not a test. just let the idea sit. loop it.

let your brain scramble a bit. it'll try to anchor you. lists, memories, elbow pain. nod. say ok. but keep thinking, what if this is just leftover?

assume it's done. you're not "getting there." you already did. i'm here. i've been here. i just forgot.

stay there. don't wait for a feeling. just hold the assumption. walk, talk, scroll like it's real. like it's been real.

　bonus steps. when you're confident but your cr still looks like your cr

this happens. you've assumed hard. you're in the pocket. but your environment's lagging. you feel like you walked into your dr and someone forgot to switch the set.

what now?

drop the expectation of proof. you're not waiting for a "shift feeling." you're not refreshing the screen for signs. this is not confirmation-based. your job is to keep assuming - not to diagnose reality.

call everything static. your bedroom is leftover code. your phone battery doesn't count. your body feeling the same, that's an echo. if you still feel "here," say: that's just memory playing itself out. reality's just buffering. you already left. act like you're already there. this doesn't mean pretending. it means committing. do what you would do in your dr. text them. reach for the thing. change the language in your head. claim the timeline like you've had the keys all along.

double down harder. the more "real" this place feels, the more you assume it's not. if you feel resistance, that's your sign to lean in. "the stronger this place feels, the less real it is."

　bonus loop. use this as a mantra if doubt creeps in ,

　i've already shifted. this is just the afterimage.

　the environment doesn't update me. i update it.

　i'm already there. reality just hasn't caught up.

What’s the most niche Splatoon lore you know?

by me saying the niche lore, it ironically stops being niche. I think the stuff that stays niche despite me talking about it is info about like. graffiti. ppl dont care as much about graffiti. so here's something absurdly obscure about one piece of graffiti, that from here on will become slightly less obscure.

remember this guy from the ROTM trailer? cute piece of graffiti. known as FLDRHTS-FOAB at Hotlantis. in english we can easily assume FOAB=Fish on a Bike. but apparently this fish guy has an actual punny name in japanese! and the way JP fans had to find out what its name is is fucking batshit. at hotlantis in JP it's called HI-CKU, with HI being short for the JP name of flounder heights, and CKU is....??? people weren't 100% sure. people didnt learn its name until midway thru 2023, when this guy appeared on some merchandise for a Splatoon 3 lottery at 7-11. so the fish guy's name is on this packaging right?

no. it's not. you wanna know the only place where this fucking fish's name is????

its on the box for the entire merch lot. i'm pretty sure you would have to either be a 7-11 employee or somehow personally buy up all the lottery prizes from the source to get this box. (image source)

these boxes is how JP fans were able to learn that this fish on a bike graffiti is named Charikogiuo チャリコギウオ. there's probably something i'm missing with this pun, but I know charinko is another word for a bicycle and uo is fish. people joke about the absurdity of splatoon lore drops in limited time exhibits or japanese magazines that would never be seen by english fans if it wasnt for me translating it WINK WINK but this shit is beyond parody. deserves a prize for being both extremely pointless and coming from a terrible source.

I'll teach Morgan and Leshy some foreign curse words so the lamb cannot understand what they say and won't get punished

Morgan would NEVER disrespect the Lamb. Also, reminder that the Lamb can read minds lol

What's the worst Splatoon trivia you know???

Glad you asked!! Spyke (and Murch) has a singular striking eye. this is based on how some species of longspine urchins also have an "eye."

the quotation marks are there for a reason! this is actually the urchin's asshole.

Now some may also be wondering why some of the urchin characters we see in Splatoon have bright orange skin. this is based on the color of the only edible part of a sea urchin!

these are its gonads.
