Good time for a periodic reminder that "butch" does not mean "has muscles" and it does not mean "sidebuzz haircut" and if you look at a cartoon girl who wears makeup and skirts and high heels and decide she's butch purely on the virtue of "she's kind of buff" or "she's got short hair" or "she's rude to men" or "she knows how to fight" then you need to delete futchscale.png off your hard drive and talk to an actual butch for once in your life

EDIT: This post is somehow still dominating my activity feed after two months so I feel like I should add a couple of disclaimers:

No, I don't hate She-Ra. I like it quite a bit, in fact. I don't know why some people seem to think being annoyed by the fandom response to a character means I hate the show...?

Also, this post isn't really "about" Scorpia. She just came to mind first when I wrote the tag

(imagine I'm standing up on a big box with a megaphone for this one) THIS POST WAS MADE BY A GLEEFUL TRANSSEXUAL AND IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THAT THEN MY WORDS ARE NOT FOR YOU. TRANS-EXCLUSIONARY FEMINISM IS A BOLD-FACED LIE AND SERVES ONLY TO REDIRECT SUFFERING AWAY FROM YOURSELF AND TOWARD THE LESS-PRIVILEGED. COWARD

Deep thoughts on Deep Cut...

Oh boy, it's been a while since I've gotten out my thinking cap for Splatoon.

From what we can tell in the new Direct, Deep Cut are definitely going to be involved in Hero Mode in some way. For one thing, they were first introduced wearing the same masks that everyone was puzzling over from the Hero Mode promo art:

...and, while I missed it the first time because I was too excited about their reveal, it seems very obvious from the background of this shot that they're in the same place (or, at least, the same environment) where we first encounter Captain Three and the Squid Sisters. It seems likely that this reveal footage was lifted directly from a Hero Mode cutscene.

Also... the cephalopods' names are Shiver and Frye. So far, we've seen two major areas relevant to Hero Mode: a scorching desert presumably close to Splatsville, and the frozen arctic world of Alterna (which seems to be where Deep Cut first come into play). I wonder if that hot-and-cold aesthetic is indicative of the roles they'll play in the story...?

An interesting side note to that: a promotional tweet shared on SplatoonNA after the Direct casually refers to Shiver as a "shark tamer" (her name is even Mako in the German version!) and to Frye as "eel master". It was easy to miss, but the brief Hero Mode segment included a shot of what looks like a swarm of flying eels:

...so I wonder how literal those titles are, and how relevant they'll be to the game's story?

Which leads into my biggest question:

We know that Deep Cut will be involved in Hero Mode, but how?

Callie and Marie were involved with Splat 1's Hero Mode via secretly being part of the New Squidbeak Splatoon and seeking to fight Octavio. They're part of Hero Mode because... well, Hero Mode revolves around them. Pearl and Marina, meanwhile, got involved through sheer coincidence; they basically stumbled across Agent 8 and the Cap'n and decided to help out to be nice.

Deep Cut seem like they're here on purpose. They're playing an active role, not just helping from the sidelines, and they don't seem confused about what's going on. So what is their involvement? Are they secretly part of a different vigilante group fighting the mysterious fuzz? I doubt they'll be antagonists (it just doesn't seem like the sort of thing the Splatoon devs would go for), but I'm so curious about what's going to bring them into this.

Anyway, that's all I've got for right now. In conclusion: Big Man

Just to be clear: Any society where the normative view is that basic health and sexual education are "inappropriate" for children or "best left to the parents to explain when the time is right" is a society designed to enable the abuse of children

ArtFight 2022 is wrapping up soon, everybody!

This year I really wanted to try drawing a mass attack, and I also wanted to experiment with animating something. The result is that I spent nearly two weeks in Aseprite working on this - a collection of as many different Squidbeak Agent OCs as I felt I could manage!

There are too many people in this one for me to tag them all, but you can see the attack and all the characters included in it on my ArtFight profile (@ Sappholopod)!
