there's a part in the triple does au where Meggy and Callie are put through it because they both remembered something mortifying during the time they were brainwashed by the hypnoshades sometime after Splatoon 2
That being that they may have did some... Not very family friendly stuff
Tensions are high, Octavia is probably gonna get murdered, Callie is fearing for her life and Meggy wants to die
Thankfully the whole mess was cleared up thanks to some security footage 8 found and thankfully they did NOT do the forbidden tango nor did they make out sloppy style while under the influence of the shades THANK SQUOD
Nobody asked me for my opinion on the controversy that dropped today when the Sonic Movie cast pay rate was revealed, which is fair ig since I try to stay positive on this blog. But in case you're wondering, yeah as a certified AFAB™ I'm pissed, but not really specifically at the Sonic crew. Actor pay rates are usually negotiated between agents and the production companies so just like all the other problems with the Sonic movies, this is most likely an issue with Paramount and their patented dumbfuckery. Disclaimer that obviously it could very well be a Sonic crew issue as well, obviously I don't know the inner workings of the entire film production.
Also, if you're mad about this: please be mad about the pay gap that has been going on as long as Hollywood has been alive. This isn't a problem unique to the SCU. I know the phrase "pay gap" is thrown around a whole lot but do you guys actually know how big an issue it is?
Recent percentages are that male and female actors have "a wage difference of about 25 percent," with an estimated difference of $1-2million between star-power men and star-power women.[x][x] Basic Instinct star Sharon Stone said she made $500k to Michael Douglas's $14mil– and when she was asked to be lead in a film being made in ~2022, the lead male, who was "new", was going to be paid $8-9mil, with her salary still at $500k. Last December, Biggest Monopoly In The World Disney was sued by 9,000 women over their pay gap.
This article is from 2019 but brings up some big fucking pay gaps between leads– for instance, Gillian Anderson was offered half of what David Duchovny was for the X-Files reboot as one of the two main fucking characters, Amanda Seyfried has disclosed she made 10% of what her male co-star made on an undisclosed film, Natalie Portman made 1/3 of the salary of Ashton Kutcher in No Strings Attached, and Ellen Pompeo, the titular character of Grey's Anatomy, was paid less than the actor playing her love interest, Patrick Dempsey. In fact, Dempsey was being paid almost double what she was.
However, BIG issue with the 2019 article: it only focuses on what White actors are being paid. Research shows that Black actresses make 57 cents to every dollar white actors make on a good day. Viola Davis, one of the most popular and talented actresses of our generation, has said that black women "get probably a tenth of what a Caucasian woman gets. And I'm number one on the call sheet." Octavia Spencer had to collaborate with Jessica Chastain to make sure they both got paid the same amount of money on a film they both worked on, and revealed that her new salary increased 500% afterwards.
At the end of last year, while promo-ing The Color Purple, Taraji P. Henson broke into tears while talking about how little she's being paid when compared to her white and male contemporaries. And when she talked about the gap, I find it so fucking frustrating that the general audience response was to immediately blame the only Black female producer on the film. I have a million gripes with Oprah Winfrey but TCP cast has said that she herself managed to fix a lot of the problems on set and was nothing but supportive to them. Oh, and there were a lot of problems on set, including a lack of food and dressing space for the main actors. And this is all from celebrity women. Just think about how Hollywood is treating women who don't have the star power to speak up.
Of course this isn't even a problem solo to Hollywood, let alone Paramount, let alone just one movie. And honestly it was probably really sad that when I saw the pay rate for the Sonic 3 cast, I wasn't even surprised, because I've seen worse on bigger projects.
Best companion to get intoxicated with: Round 0 Masterpost
the elimintation numbers on the posts themselves are largely wrong because I made a mistake and only realised when it was too late, its two per group except 14 and 15 which is 3
also updates for the "most fuckable hellaverse character" poll tournament
TLDR: tournament rules for voters will probably be posted tomorrow and then Round 1 polls will start being posted from Friday to Monday. Everything below just describes how I set the tournament and whose competing.
(this is a long post so I'm gonna cut here):
I calculated the results from this poll and found that despite how the results look, 50.1% of votes wanted some kind of categorical system for the tournament versus the 31.5% that wanted it to be totally random. Of the "Yes" options, the most popular option was separating the tournament by Gender alone, so here's the category winning titles:
Most Fuckable Hellaverse Character (in general)
Most Fuckable Female Hellaverse Character
Most Fuckable Male Hellaverse Character
As far as I know, there aren't any canon non-binary characters in the hellaverse. If I'm wrong about this, please let me know and they'll win "Most Fuckable Non-Binary Hellaverse Character" by default.
Having said, I had a few self-assigned rules when creating the rosters:
Every character must be 20 years old AT MINIMUM because it's an even number and it weeds out any weird/gross "barely 18" nonsense (sorry Octavia, you're too babey)
Only characters that have been shown in my previous FMK posts will be competing (sorry Baxter and Arackniss, I don't know you yet)
Only characters that have shown up in episodes/shorts for "Helluva Boss" or "Hazbin Hotel" are allowed to compete (sorry Vassago, you've only shown up in the trailers)
If you think any of these rules should be changed/more rules should be added, please let me know and I'll consider it.
That being said, here's a list of all the competitors:
I've also decided that, rather than posting all 29 of the "Round 1" polls in one day (which sounds like a sensory nightmare of notifications), I'm going to instead post the all the polls by section over the course of 4 days (basically I'd be posting like 7-8 polls a day, which seems far less egregious). I think I'll make a post of tournament rules for voters tomorrow and then start posting polls on Friday, so please stay tuned!

I've had the splatoon brainrot for weeks now, and so in an effort to get it out of my head (it will fail), I have decided to make an actual post for the first time in who knows how long
SO, here is my Splatoon 3 character:
Octavia
AKA Grape AKA New Agent 3/Neo
Octoling, Splatana Wiper main, Preferred Ink Color Grape Purple
Generally calm and serious, but she does have an interest in Splatlands culture and history, and she's very fond of Tableturf Battle
-Hailing from the domes, she came to the surface after Splatoon 2, having volunteered to 'migrate' to the surface after a string of dome failures, caused by a lack of resources, lead to a housing crisis for the remaining Octarians (Resources were diverted to other domes in order to repair critical damages caused by Agents 3 and 4)
-No relation to Octavio, Octavia is just the feminine form of Octavio, and is a relatively common name
-Decided to make her way to the Splatlands instead of Inkopolis after leaving, in order to avoid running into an old friend who deserted after the Calamari Inkantation
-Said old friend is Agent 8, who only vaguely remembers having had a close friend in her unit, and that they had an argument/fight when Eight deserted
-While traveling towards the Splatlands, Octavia found the wandering Little Buddy, and they decided to travel together and became close friends
-After reaching Splatsville she started doing Turf Wars to save up for an apartment in the city instead of a tent out in the Splatlands
-Eventually, after a discussion with Little Buddy about Salmonid culture and their opinion on Grizzco, Octavia decided to start working at Grizzco with Little Buddy's blessing
Splatoon 3 Return of the Mammalians spoilers below
-After a few weeks in Splatsville she noticed Cuttlefish in his sewer grate, approached to ask him what his deal was, then gave chase when he ran away
-In the Crater she was recruited before she got a chance to speak, and decided to stick with it in order to investigate why, exactly, there were Octarians stealing Zapfish in the Crater
-She's not very comfortable being called Agent 3, but doesn't really get the chance to bring it up in the Crater
-When DJ Octavio showed up, she got caught up in battle before she had a chance to talk to him, and she then fell into Alterna before she could get a chance to cut in between him and Cuttlefish
-Inside of Alterna, she has a short-lived tense standoff with Callie, Marie and Captain 3, but eventually she decides to work with them to investigate Alterna (and also save Cuttlefish along the way)
-Here she makes her distaste for the name Three known, so she is instead referred to as Neo
-She gets very invested in completing the Alterna Logs, feeling a sort of kinship with the humans of Alterna who were forced to live underground, with only a fake sky to let them know what life on the surface was like
-She is generally unimpressed by Deep Cuts shenanigans, though after ROTM is over she becomes friends with them and experiences the wonder of Big Man Hugs (which does get her a bit teary-eyed because dangit, this is her first real hug ever since she left the domes)
-Also after ROTM, she stops doing Salmon Runs for a while, up until the NNSS makes sure that Mr. Grizz isn't still running the company
-Afterwards, although she does still work there sometimes, she makes most of her money playing Turf Wars and selling Power Eggs from Alterna
(Since Side Order is coming soon, i made a little quick drawing of Octavia since she is going to return soon!)
Also, here's some information about her:
Octavia Takowasa (Agent 8):
-Has been trapped in the Spire of Order for 2 weeks, she doesn't know how she got there, but she wants to escape
-She has no memory of her past (thanks to the Tartar device in her right eye)
-She doesn't talk too much, she is very quiet most of the time, she will only talk with people she trusts
-Sometimes, Tartar's device causes her to become very aggressive and try to attack anyone near her
-According to her, her name is "Eight", if someone tries to call her by her real name "Octavia", she will think they are confusing her with someone else
-Her voice is very weak, she talks very slow
-She doesn't usually show any type of emotion, but she looks sad almost all the time
&&. ◜ tw: none ◞ % … 🦋 › OCTAVIA are an active , eight piece girl group that debuted back in march of 2008 . they were the first ever group to come out of evergreen , reaching great success early on which solidified their spot as one of the top 2nd generation girl groups within the idol industry . the group is mainly recognized for their pop music that constantly goes viral during the summer due to fitting the season best &&. for the girls being featured throughout the entertainment and music industry as well-received actresses , producers , choreographers , models , and more . their reputation remained spotless and pristine for years up until the departure of kyungri in 2015 just shortly after promoting her debut solo ep . fans speculated that the company always wanted to make her go solo at some point since 2013 after she started being absent from group activities to focus more on her individual work . it became even more prevalent when rumors began circulating that the group would be facing possible disbandment or that none of the members re-signed their contracts just 3 months after the event . evergreen were quick to dismiss the news but did confirm that the girls would be going on a short hiatus so they could work more on their solo activities . the messy aftermath of kyungri’s departure was peak entertainment for fans as angela was seen rolling her eyes at kyungri’s screen time during an interview , yujin jokingly saying they were always 7 when on vlive for their anniversary , and the group looking disinterested during the former member’s performance at mama with eunmi and mina even laughing . this led to fans thinking that her departure held more meaning than they thought which was slightly confirmed by angela after participating on lee youngji’s drinking show in 2022 where she stated that no one was surprised when it happened , just shocked that it did .

here's an explanation on how exactly Meggy got fucked over by the universe 3 times
note: The following events replace the anime arc because everyone was to busy searching for Meggy that the anime challenge never happened
Meggy was kidnapped by a group of octarians (who were ordered to do so because DJ Octavia discovered Agent 3 had a sister and had a big brained idea to not only brainwash Callie but also her as well) and got brainwashed by a second pair of hypnoshades that Octavia made (though she didn't quite go down without a fight, Octavia can attest to that)
Agent 3 (Paige) was too busy on a separate mission to go looking for Meggy much to their frustration so Marie recruiting Harbor as Agent 4 came in clutch and also Mario coming along because of course he does which both makes things easier but also more complicated
However during the final battle around the time Marie and Sheldon came barging in the platform Meggy was on ended up collapsing and she fell into the abyss below much to Mario's and everyone else's horror
Fast forward a couple weeks and after hundreds of dead ends and countless sleepless nights, the NSS were finally able to find a lead to where Meggy ended up (and also got confirmation that she still lives thank god, Paige cried a lot at the news out of relief) and so Cuttlefish and Agent 3 are off without hesitation to search for Agent 3's sister in the Metro
Meanwhile Meggy has been Sanitised by Commander Tartar who found her unconscious in the subway, and is currently accompanying Cuttlefish, 8, Desti and The Octoposse who are all stuck in this medical nightmare hell hole because of course and all (well except cuttlefish) of them are missing their memories
Cuttlefish is really worried how 3 will react to their sister being well, green now and zombie like
However despite being sanitised, partially emotionless and amnesiac she is still technically Meggy so sparks still fly between her and Desti much to the others chagrin
At least it makes solving the puzzles easier (especially the 8 ball thank GOD)
The plot of octo expansion stays relatively the same albeit with more people and a more chaotic group chat
They all end up having to team up against a partially sanitised Paige who is somehow stronger than in canon which is terrifying, and it took everything to knock them out
When the boss fight with the giant statue and Tartar happens (who wants to blow up the world because it's gone insane and so has he from the meme energy) Meggy, Desti and the Octoposse jump in the assist 8 in inking the statue to high heaven
Sanitised Meggy is basically a watered down version of canon Meggy having her emotions and memories stripped from her, she still has the desire to win splatfest ofc but she doesn't quite have the drive that made her want her to, and this deeply scares Paige and Mario
A couple years have passed since the incident and Meggy is MOSTLY back to her old self, still a bit amnesiac and lacks the reaction speed for certain emotions but better now
Then she gets fuzzified by Mr. Grizz
Meggy started to work at Grizzco. Via the suggestion of Harbor because she felt self conscious about how she looks during turf wars now cause well she looks like a zombie and it went pretty well for about 3 years
Harbor did a total fuck up and Meggy not wanting him to get fired ended up taking the fall for him
unfortunately this ended up with Mr. Grizz fucking up her back a bit, kidnapping her and then getting fuzzified which FINE
and somewhere during that struggle Meggy ends up in the Splatlands an FAR from Grizzco. and ends up running into Andi and being found thankfully by Cuttlefish
unfortunately they all soon end up falling into Alterna but hey at least she reunited with the others!
splatoon 3 remains relatively the same albiet they know mr. grizz's plan to rid he world of sea life MUCH sooner
So I've been thinking about why the agents are good in combat, like what makes them good? Well I've had too much time to think, so here's each one their main strengths and weaknesses
Cap'n Rae - strength: Smart, Power weakness: speed
3 Tre - strength: Toughness, Smart weakness: Power
4 Qade - strength: Speed, Smart weakness: Reaction time
5 Trent - strength: Speed, Reaction time weakness: Toughness
8 Octavia - strength: Power, Toughness weakness: Speed, Reaction time
