Dementus, Smeg, Rizzdale Pell, Fang, and the Organic Mechanic all visible here. Octoboss slightly out of frame. I love how Dementus visually pops out in this shot.

Rumblin' and rollin', beware the Octo-Goosher! Here's my piece for the ConceptsZine on twitter! This boss is pretty straightforward, by which I mean it travels in straight lines, kinda like the octostomp! While easy to dodge, it will litter the arena with obstacles so beware!

Quick question for the Splatoon community.

Do you think this man is neurodivergent?

I love to see your opinions in the comments.

Hello.

I decided to steal some of Azul's contracts from his vault and hold them for ransom. (don't ask how I did it. Some things remain secret)

He told me I couldn't work at Monstro Lounge cause I scared the customers.

So this is my revenge.

I refuse to give them back until he lets me work at the Lounge.

Is it OWMH?

(I remain anonymous for my own safety, as I fear Jade and Floyd may be sent after me)

i know i've mainly been giving facts about my Agent Four but it's because she's my main focus right now (i.e. MC of my current Splatoon fic) and also that she got done dirty by Nintendo. anyway, i'll share another one for shits and giggles.

Four's autistic. i try not to say it outright in the fic and only imply it, but i might as well confirm it here. before writing the fic i did as much research as i could on autism (don't worry, i didn't use autism speaks, fuck them) to try and get an accurate representation on a person with autism. of course, i did realise in the midst of my research that autism is a spectrum disorder and that it's different with everyone that has it.

with that in mind, i decided to base some of her behaviours off of my own despite not being autistic myself (i have ADHD/ADD). here are a few examples;

Four knows the different systems of measurement and quickly converts them into different lengths depending on what's convenient. (ex. metres to feet to inches to centimetres.) when she started working with Marie, she compared some of the enemy Octarians to the Salmonids (Octoboss = Salmonid boss).

in addition, Four has a mostly deadpan expression, but will convey her emotions in the form of her ears and posture. if her ears are perked up, she's listening to what you're saying and interested. if they're swivelled back and her back is hunched, then she's defensive. the list goes on.

one last thing is that her slang is 'not up to date.' she'll say things like "gnarly" or "wicked."

sorry for the long post, i just really wanted to talk about my Four. have a great rest of your day and don't forget to drink water.

Sorry if more than one is a lot but:

1. Squid Bible

2. Octo oven origins

3. Splatoon Tumblr disaperence

book of madai. pretty obviously a religious book, and people have taken to jokingly calling it a 'squid bible'

in the art of splatoon 2, its said that the octo oven was a regular oven that, because is bread was good, was upgraded to make more bread at once. one day, it 'seriously injured' its owner when it shot out its loaves. after that, it was turned into an octoboss.

after some splatoon 3 info posts, the official splatoon tumblr disappeared, never came back, and seemingly never will. people continue to wonder why, but its probably just because there's a twitter account now, and i guess they thought there was no need for the splatoonus tumblr.

Mad Max Teddy Bear Weirdness

Much attention has been paid to Dementus' teddy bear. The cast has even been calling the Dementus gang the "teddy bear gang." Dementus' symbol is just... Joe's symbol with teddy bear ears drawn on.

But this isn't the first appearance of weirdly affixed teddy bears in the Mad Max universe. Sure, Toadie in MM2 has some plushies hanging off his costume, but I'd like to call some attention to Major Kalashnikov/the Bullet Farmer in the 2015 Mad Max: Fury Road comics.

As shown here, Kalashnikov is drawn with a teddy bear strapped to his helmet. It's illustrated in multiple panels, so it wasn't a one-off fluke. Was this detail intended to be foreshadowing? On top of that, it appears that there's some kind of conflict between the Bullet Farm and Furiosa's War Rig in the Furiosa trailer.

Under normal circumstances, you wouldn't expect the crew of a War Rig to be throwing thundersticks at the folks from the Bullet Farm... Nor would you expect the Bullet Farm squad to shoot at one of Joe's War Rigs. A reliable source has indicated that a "Trojan Horse" is a major plot point in the film. Could this be it? Could the Trojan Horse war rig be a way for Furiosa to launch a sneak attack on the Dementus-allied Bullet Farm? Is the Bullet Farmer on Team Dementus for some reason? Is that why the Bullet Farmer is absent from this warlord group shot?

...Is an alliance with the Bullet Farm a reason why Dementus has a gang member with a truly absurd number of AK-47 ammo pouches on his costume and four guns mounted to his bike?

Addendum: Yes, Dementus nabbed the bear from young Furi — this post is more about the weirdness of the teddy bear recurring throughout the franchise, especially since a teddy bear has been shown to be worn by a character that's been mysteriously absent from the trailers and may have some tenuous connections to Dementus.

It’s no mistake that this is right next to Octoboss.

Cape-Watch Monthly Bulletin- April 2023

Hey, y’all! This is your host, Christina Cabello, welcoming all of you back to another Cape-Watch Monthly Bulletin! April may have the day of fools, but it also brings many new challenges for our favourite heroes, some of which are detailed under the cut!

Far-Flung Future Fighters

Our first story marks the second time that the world has been made aware of the superhero group known as The Guardians of the Cosmos, the self-proclaimed ‘greatest heroes of the 31st century’, a group of humanoid superheroes who last appeared in mid-February to whisk away the Guardians of the Globe on a still unknown mission to their time. In the two months since their last appearance, very little information has been learned about this mysterious group, leading some to wonder if their claims are indeed true, and that they are time travellers from some far-off future Earth. 

This time, however, the group did not require the aid of any present heroes. They suddenly appeared in downtown Singapore, hot on the heels of some sort of large reptilian creature that was busy wreaking havoc on the city-state. From what staff at the newspaper that spoke Malay and Mandarin were able to translate from local social media posts about the incidents, it seems that several members of the group were also present when the Guardians disappeared for three weeks. 

Naturally, this reappearance has sparked a social media frenzy around them, which was only fuelled by the bevy of new information that was learned. For example, we now know several of their names, such as Robot 10 (perhaps a descendant of the current Robot), Miss Viltrum, Gigantic Lad, Magna-Boy, Madame Mist and Bow-Bot. While perhaps a touch more generic than the aliases we in the present are used to, their skills speak for themselves: the group managed to subdue the wild creature, which they call a ‘Blorfkorl’, in a matter of minutes, before vanishing almost as quickly as they appeared. 

So yeah, one of those stories. 

Prison Break

Our next story is definitely a cause for concern. Last week, the government supermax prison known as Stronghold Penitentiary was breached by the earth-shattering supervillain Doc Seismic, which caused the impromptu release of some of America’s most notorious superpowered criminals. The total number of escapees is still unknown, but from this statement by US government liaison Peter Schlottman, it’s not looking good:

‘I won’t sugar-coat this: this breakout has the potential to be one of the greatest national security crises that the US has experienced since the Cold War. As we speak, all available police and military are being placed on standby in the event of a major supervillain attack near Chicago or any other densely populated. Under the advice of a special counsel, the Governor of Illinois has decided to temporarily enforce martial law upon the state until this issue can be safely resolved. We have also mobilised every available superhero into the efforts to locate and recapture the escaped villains. In the meantime, I wish for the public to know that we will not rest until they can sleep soundly once again.’

Some of the most notable names among the many escaped villains include members of the infamous Order, such as the gargantuan Octoboss, who made his escape with the assistance with several of his Squidmen minions, as well as the Irish crime lord Slaying Mantis, who is expected to make an attempt to get back to his home country. A more surprising escapee is the pernicious performer Orchestro, who used his hypnotic singing voice to coral several other villains into helping him. Look out for that one, California.

A Field Day for Monsterfuckers

And for our last story... I’m sure you can guess who this is about from the title. 

For those of you who are still in the dark, I refer of course to the Californian mystic Magic Man. Ever since his reveal of his demonic heritage and the many abilities that come along with that fact, the hero has proven a favourite with those among us who prefer romantic with less than perfectly humanoid physiques. Over the past few months alone, multiple pictures have surfaced of the San Diego Sorcerer displaying many demonic traits, from elongated fangs and a pair of what appear to be ram horns to a long spiked tail and even a large pair of flaming wings. Points for creativity.

Another vocal supporter of Magic Man’s powers of transformation is none other than Multi-Paul, his boyfriend. When asked about his love life, the former teen hero had this to say:

‘Oh, I am living the dream! I mean, ever since I watched Gargoyles as a kid, I’ve been into that kind of stuff! And now I’m living with a guy who can do all that plus magic? You’ll get no complaints from me!’

The most recent event to send this specific internet subculture into a frenzy, however, happened a little over two weeks ago, when Magic Man fought against the stage magic themed villainess known as Miss Direction. In response to her summoning a giant snake from a playing card, the wizard decided to transform himself into what can only be described as a full-blown demon, complete with razor-sharp teeth, a pair of sturdy goat-like hooves, and colossal flaming angel wings. After dispatching the large reptile and defeating Miss Direction, he chose to keep up the new form, flying off instead of teleporting as he usually does. Needless to say, the internet was into that. 

And that’s all for this month, folks! Once more, a big thanks to our sponsors, who keep the lights on around here! Also, a fair warning: due to some hectic assignments I’ve been given, I might not have the time to get the May or June editions out, so bear that in mind! And finally, always remember to stay safe, stay hydrated, and tune in next time for more of the biggest superhero stories around!
