A rousing victory on all fronts!!
You can hear the team chanting the Sploon1 victory theme from here.
This is the best outcome that 3 could ever have hoped for. A Splatfest they were allowed to fight in, AND theyre winning team? Its a dream come true.
And Team Past winning is a message that they had hoped to hear for reasons that hit close to home.
On the more personal side, they chose this team because they had one good memory, one good year, and that single point in their life is going to keep them going. Theyre going to work so they can make more of that experience for themself.
Theyre a nostalgic soul. They want things to be simple like when they first turned 14 and left home.
But thats not all.
They believe that there has to be a return to form between the nations that participated in this fest. Long ago, they were all in harmony until the waters rose. Now that the nations are together again, they want them to just think of the music, the art, the food, the culture they can share with each other instead of fighting all the time.
Team past winning could be a show of a similar sentiment. Bury the hatchet. Lets hold hands like how we did it back then. Fucks sake -- most of Inkadia isnt even aware of Octaria. They were kind of just forgotten.
Inkadia is willing to open their arms again. Octaria is still a lil skittish but itll get better. They have reason to be, anyway.
Thing abt the two nations is that -- for several years now, migrations and travel have been more or less commonplace. Lots of Octarians in Inkopolis now, thanks to the platoon's help. Most people have relations with an Octarian. Inkadia didnt notice it at first. When they did though, there was apprehension. Thats where 3s peace talks come in.
Beyond the powers that be, regular Inkadians saw no reason to fear the Octarians (unless theyre part of those idiot fringe groups similar to Cuttlefish before). Theyve known these guys for years now, theres no harm.
The grandfest is Inkadia finally shaking hands with Octaria officially. Now even Octavio feels safe in bringing the dome dwellers up. Only reason he was strict with travel in the first place was his fear of Inkadians being nasty to his people.
Admittedly...yes, they were nasty to his people for a while. There was this subconcious bias/expectation that the Octarians should act a certain way to be accepted. To leave behind what made them Octarian, to blend in, assimilate. More passionate Octarians were usually excluded. There have been movements to bring light to these issues, which the platoon also participates in, and slowly but surely things changed for the better. Its not 100% perfect yet but its still moving forward.
And then team past wins?? Its like Inkadia is saying "we fucked up. Were sorry. How can we make up for it?"
It wasnt about returning to the past, (though the past that these winners fight for is a past when the two nations were in harmony) its all about learning from their mistakes to make a better present and future.
The win meant that society is acknowledging that theyve made mistakes and are willing to make up for it.
Its the best result for 3, really. They want Inkadia to face the fucking facts while they make up for everything theyve done wrong. They are an agent that relies on previous experience to get better. They observe past actions, they look at previous mistakes bit too much Ill say and think of how to improve themself (and others.)
To get better, you have to study the past. This is true for battle, and also personal growth.
3 has so much hope for the future bc of this, and they never thought theyd ever hope again.
Knowing that Inkadians are willing to do that effort really makes them believe in their nation more.
Their peace talks with the powers that be and their efforts of helping Octarians integrate with the surface Inkadians have paid off at last,,
Bc Inkadians tjemselves said that they want to make things better than how things were before
Theyre not alone in that fight anymore.
The Grizzco raids that stole a billion eggs back from the corporation was the first sign...and this win confirms their hopes.
---------
THIS IS SUCH A LONG ONE BUT YEAH!! 3 IS UNBELIEVABLY HAPPY FOR ONCE!!!
