#I spent a while with it lol

[toothpaste-for-the-skin]

In honor of the Splatoon 1 servers coming back, I decided to rework my design (that I’ve never posted lol) for Agent/Captain 3!

This is Iota! (she/they) Based on my WiiU username which is √-1, with “iota” being another term used to describe that value!

The overall vibe I was going for is kinda the “wilderness survival” type? As Iota became very distrusting of technology (particularly phones) after the whole OE fiasco, and already was kind of like this beforehand. It’s just the whole experience amplified those traits to the extreme. As implied in this comic, Iota is no longer in possession of the Hero Headset, having thrown them out soon after leaving the metro out of a mix of paranoia and disgust. She now instead wears a bandana (Hero Bandana?) with the same patterns, but obviously without any of the technological aspects that would allow for things like remote communication or tracking.

(More details under the cut)

(Some more personality/detail stuff that I haven’t solidified 100% so it might change later.)

- I imagine they’re very distant as a captain, almost as though they don’t even want to be there half the time. She’s also almost never seen participating in battles, or even hanging around the city for that matter. Only a select few know where she’s always sneaking off to.

- Cannot be found unless they want to be found. She actually is quite good at living on her own and away from everything. It’s relaxing.

- Iota is a Humboldt Squid (I’m still unsure of this) and is actually pretty tall, contrary to what the name “Iota” implies.

- Yeah they can kinda act like a “Phone bad, book good” boomer at times. The NSBS makes jokes about it sometimes.

- Doesn’t hate the NSBS or anything, but is definitely disillusioned with it and they don’t have that spark they did when they were younger. Generally fine with being captain though.

- Even though she doesn’t really participate in battles anymore, Iota had always been a fan of the original inkstrike special. (Both weapons they main have this special).

- There are a lot of scattered inspos, and I think it would be funny if I listed them without going into detail. (I might elaborate later): Bad Wi-Fi, the Big Hero Six tv show, YouTube Shorts, Dick’s Sporting Goods/REI, an au of a YouTube webseries, and dislike of ai generated images.

i had been used for my body before, i didn't mind it. i had a good trick about it - i didn't have to be there, not in my skin. i could wear the mirror, wear the puppet. you would see your perfect girl, a little monster i had concocted. she would glisten, distilled out of my own blood and venom. it meant i would be using you instead - you think you are taking from me? darling, i think this is a fucking joke, a role i am playing. you can't hurt me, i'm not present for the event. this is just a body, like a book is only words.

and then you came into my life, easy and honest. reaching for my hand in the crowded holiday market. passing me a water before i realize i'm thirsty. checking on me once, twice - the first time i said i'm okay, you knew i was lying. i keep thinking about the shape of your blue eyes and the wild of your hair the last time i saw you. how you got out of my car and when you looked back, i was looking back too. your quiet breathing in a hotel room.

you kissed me like you meant it, is the thing.

i don't know how to be a person yet, not fully. i don't know how to let you kiss me and touch bone. i tell my friends i hate this so much i want to throw up. your name slips into my head - i am no longer really ever alone. a little frazzled heartrate keeps splattering against my collarbone. my therapist asked yesterday - why are you afraid? what is the cost of vulnerability?

a terrifying thought: when i'm with you, it feels like finally coming home.

"Can you just imagine Norway and Sweden here, forced to take a picture together during their union in the 1800s??"

Or, something like that, is about what @cat-with-a-tie said just before requesting this exact scenario ✨

[svtskneecaps]

i'm still stuck on the purgatories so here's a list of purgatory 2 moments simply off the top of my head that deserve to be remembered:

aimsey ducking all of axolotl team alone in a cave with literally half a heart

goose gang fucking descending on the raccoon base and absolutely wrecking shop

ethan crankgameplays clutching up for team panda during the capture the flag game by being the only one hanging out in the center and periodically checking the chests, earning them a shitton of flags and clutching multiple rounds

crow team's egg taking 0 damage

pac doxxing goose gang's egg in the last second

shelby shubble as the last member of her team online writing a letter to aimsey and sharing the world's most devastating ten minutes before her team was eliminated with one of the eye creatures (coco? i forgot lol)

badboyhalo absolutely fucking DEMOLISHING the battleship event on like 2 hours of sleep and a dream

wuant(?) stealing a tv from the battleship event and then playing portuguese ice age on it for the crows lmfao

tubbo djing for his team while waiting for the time for a goose gambit

theguill CRASHING THROUGH THE FUCKING CEILING of the raccoon team's hidey hole like the fucking kool aid man in a last effort to save his team and 4v1 or 5v1 ing team raccoon; he lost but that was such an epic fucking moment

theguill and etoiles pvping and each hyping the other's skills the entire time

seapeekay escaping cellbit and baghera and then stealing their boats and rocketing past to tease them about it; that shit was iconic

Jwct Countdown May 18-19 prompt: Roadtrip

No clue when these take place. Maybe it was an anniversary road trip before Brooklynn’s “death” happened. Just wanted to draw the Camp Fam going to different museums I’ve been to. @campbenji

Museums referenced: Denver Museum of Nature and Science -> Sternberg Museum of Natural History -> Burke Museum (specifically them chilling at the Off The Rez Cafe inside, it has this really cool hangar door that opens)

This list of museums was almost longer but I really shouldn’t burn myself out so soon.

Timelapse undercut (The duration is about 9 mins since it’s all three in one. Feel free to skip around it):

Songs used in order: Evergreen by Richy Mitch & The Coal Miners -> With Me by Grand Pyres -> Somewhere Only We Know by Keane

Why these songs? Because they make me mentally flip through a photo album.
