Three of Hearts!

the freshest first-wave Octopunk band!! they only made music for 5 years but have had decades long impacts on both music and the world around them. shaping the Octopunk subculture, and the way octolings approach protesting against oppression.

Pacifica is the eldest sister, she is the heart of the band. she plays bass and does the community work.

Calypso is the second oldest, she is the body of the band. she sings, plays tambourine, dances, and hypes the crowd up

Abyssa is the youngest sister, she is the mind of the band. she write lyrics, plays drums, and manages finances/promotion.

aside from their high energy punk sound that makes you want to get up and jump around, their most famous or infamous legacy came from the way they would organize music festivals with fellow bands to educate the masses. they had ton of these Octopunk festivals and they were a massive success, unfortunately the most well known festivals ended in tragedy when the venue was raided by octarian army. no more festivals, just safe basement shows where nothing on that scale could ever happen again.

their lasting influence is the new wave of Octopunk, lead by the generation who was raised on the first wave. they now live in a better world that the OG Octopunks worked hard for, and still there is much room for improvement. the new wave has influences from other alternative genres such as Batfish and Seamo for a new generation with new problems

rock on as always

Calypso O'Teuthis iconic moments from the start of Three of Hearts to the end

(age 23) at the start of their first album, Abyssa wrote a song called "Running Start" about how revolution cant happen if you dont move. it was a high tempo rock song where Pacifica and Calypso would jog in place with the beat of Abyssa's drums. during rehearsal, Abyssa had a hard time doing her drum solo without her older sisters doing something, so Pacifica would dance and hype up the crowd. when deciding what to do, Calypso just improvised and sprinted around the perimeter of the stage and then ran the perimeter of the pit in front of the stage. Abyssa found that hilarious so that just became the routine whenever they played Running Start. she would use her carbon roller and mark out her path and tell the audience to be mindful where they stand, quote "if you've been here before, you know, and if not; you're about to find out". this routine was a huge hit with the fans and became a right of passage to stand in the back so you would get the chance to high-five her as the runs past.

thanks to the pay from their first show, Calypso got a tambourine from the local music supply store. her new tambourine was a way to keep on beat along side Abyssa, and she used her highschool cheer experience to choreograph their shows. Three of Hearts started collaborating with fellow Octopunk band and close personal friends, Tentakillers. they would plan their shows and jam together.

(adding a divider here, content warning for mentions of death, brutality, and pregnancy. Calypso's story is not a happy one)

(age 25) this iconic outfit is from their last show before going on a year long hiatus, and their biggest and most well known shows. Tentakillers and Coral Riff opened, which was the prototype for the upcoming Octopalooza festivals. dozens of photos were taken during this concert and many recordings exist, including an official concert recording by Abyssa. what many didn't know at the time right until the end of the show when Calypso announced it herself, but she was pregnant and the reason for the hiatus was maternity leave. some of the newer fans were sad to not get any shows or new music for a year, but older fans were happy and supportive. incubating for octoling mothers is an extremely difficult process, which is why the maternal mortality rate was so high in the past, so she really cannot work or even move much. the egg that is now an octoling named Grim took 2 months to hatch, and it took several months for her to regain full strength and health.

(age 27) after the hiatus, Three of Hearts were ready to rock! the pride of being back at full health after her pregnancy and having a healthy baby, she was thrilled to get back to performing. Octopalooza is in full effect, this is the third one. there's bands, vendors, artists with booths selling their work, and mutual aid resources. these were so popular that roughly 20% of the octoling soldiers stationed in Hadalburgh began to defect after going to the shows. Dj Octavio was made aware of an uprising happening in the deep sea domes and sent elite soldiers and dozens of troopers to Hadalburgh to shut down the festival, but nobody was willing to go down without a fight which lead to the Octarians attempting control through violence. the bands performing stopped to tell everyone to evacuate as quickly as possible, and they would show the way. Three of Hearts finished their set earlier so theyre just relaxing and getting something to eat when they see the commotion. Calypso knew what she had to do, it was coded into her genes, she had to sacrifice herself to save her family. she held Grim for the last time and told her sisters to get home fast. Calypso, Bobbie Sepiolida from Tentakillers, and Nelle Boreo from Coral Riff got their weapons and fought back. they successfully took out many Octarian soldiers but Nelle and Calypso were caught and taken by the army. Nelle managed to escape but Calypso was taken and sanitized which was her worst fear. several days later, a solider arrived to the O'Teuthis apartment with the sanitized body of Calypso, she was as alive as she could be in such a state but her body shut down and passed away days later. an octo mother's life is one of sacrifice and tragedy.

I feel like this image of sanitisation *factories* shows that octolings totaly get sanitised outside of Tartar. While Tartar developedit i'm sure he wouldn't say no to octarians being brought to him *For* sanitisation

i was just about to elaborate on the last ask to say that Tartar sanitizes octos for the Kamabo Co and the local governments sanitize octos to make them more functional cogs in the machine. Tartar has a higher success rate of making functional sanitized octos, but the facility in Hadalburgh is sketchy, which is why sanitization left Calypso braindead and killed her in a matter of days.

what colour is Grim's default ink?

pastel pink. Calypso's ink color was bright pink so it makes sense that her daughter's ink color is similar yet still her own

How many floors does the mariana have, and which one does Maggie and Grim live on

The Mariana is the tallest of the trio of apartment complexes, so it has 10 floors. Maggie lives on the 4th floor and Grim and her family live on the 3rd floor. Maggie moved into her apartment when she was 18 from a small isolated town in the depths. Pacifica, Calypso, and Abyssa lived in their apartment their whole lives and raised Grim there too. Grim still lives with Pacifica and Abyssa.

fun facts about Grim O'Teuthis

she never uses the "do you know who i am? do you know who my family is?" unless some guy tries to quiz her to prove she's not a "fake fan" when she wears one of her Three of Hearts band tees. which unfortunately happens often bc she's a punk girl who goes to college. but whenever this does happen, she is usually able to instantly roast them into oblivion.

Grim goes to Hadalburgh University and is an archeology major, specializing in Octarian history. She primarily does live in the deep but goes to Octo Valley and Octo Canyon archeological sites for class.

she enjoys making music but doesn't expect it to be a full-time job. it's a way to bond with others, make a change, and to have fun.

she loves her family deeply and misses her mom a lot, but she struggles to find her own identity as an artist and activist. she honors Calypso in her performances by taking inspiration from her fashion and stage presence in the videos Abyssa recorded, but retains her own vocal and dance style. Grim mostly just wears some of her jewelry since all of Calypso's clothes from past her teen years don't fit Grim (she did not inherit Caly's curves)

she grew up learning ballet, so her on-stage dance style is highly expressive and controlled the way ballet is.

she has a massive collection of funky earrings, most are second-hand or made by friends

she is a solid 5'2" but wears platform shoes all the time to make up for it
