canon compliant. slight e2l. alhaitham x vahumana!gn!reader
we all know alhaitham doesn’t like talking and pretty much filters out everything through his headphones. his darshan haravatat are rivals of vahumana, which reader is studying under. those two are students of the schools that involve language partaking in debates about interpretations of ancient scripts.
dating alhaitham includes sign language and morse code. he would draw symbols on reader’s skin to say “i love you”, “be careful”, or alert them of someone watching them, so basically secret messages.
it looks like he and reader hate each other because of the darshans they’re in, but they’ve been engaged for a while HAHAHAHA.
sploon ocs!!!! they’re part of a team of 4 named Soda Pop!
Yuzu is a girl-failure of an inkling who loves chargers but seemingly forgets how to use them each and every battle. Outside of battle she's a fulltime college student at inkolot academy!
She's bubbly and optimistic most of the time and her favorite soda flavors are Lemony ones!
Momo is a tornado of chaotic energy during battles and work shifts that in between she is often seen trying not to fall asleep. Due to some unfortunate events when she was younger, she is now in debt to Grizzco and has to take shifts.
if you’re given a blaster, splatling, or any fast firing weapon like aerospray or sploosh-o-matic, you’re going to have the easiest time splatting stingers and fish sticks. if anyone’s going to splat them when there are 3 actively on the stage it should be you.
if you’ve got a charger (ESPECIALLY bamboozler) you are not going to have a good time splatting stingers and fish sticks at all, leave it to your teammates who will (hopefully) splat them instead!!
Today I went to a sex shop for the first time and when my roommates asked how it was I said it was like going to the marked but there’s dildos instead of produce
(reader has hair that can be curled with the sock method. i am writing this bc i saw a comment on a tiktok tutorial for the sock method that was like “idk how much more my husband can take this)
katsuki would be the boyfriend that’d be absolutely bamboozled when he walks into your room to turn in for the night, and you’re putting socks in your hair.
i can just imagine the most judgmental stare emerging from his rarely judgmental look (at least for you)
like.. he doesn’t know how much more he can take when he cuddles up next to you and you’re looking like you have a ufo on your head 😭 he gets curling your hair but… socks. they’re socks. he’s baffled.
but then he kinda gets it when he wakes up next morning and your hair looks absolutely majestic. (he obviously expresses that “the sock thing is still goofy”, and just compliments the outcome on your hair)
despite so, the sock method never gets old for him in terms of how much it baffles him— and he will continue to give you split second judgmental looks until the day you pass 💀
Craig is the only inkling seen and he’s single handedly decimating Octavio and countless Octarians….. because they’re all unarmed. Even Octavio just has wasabi sticks, which aren’t exactly a weapon. The most he’s seen in game using them for anything combat related is holding them up to block the player from shooting him while he’s in the Octobot King. The bamboozler is a charger so it has piercing damage which would make what little good that would do nullified. He’s grabbing Octarians by the tentacles and throwing them to the ground in one hand and shooting with the other. A few Octarians are lying still on the ground, one looking like it’s in a puddle of ink. Craig is killing the octotroopers and looks like he’s trying to do the same to Octavio. I’ve kinda felt like Craig was always the villain even when I was first playing Splatoon 1 (seriously the backstory of militarized inklings forcing Octarians to retreat underground and then attacking them further when they steal a power source even though all the inklings use it for is turf war games?), but coming back to this and seeing that Craig is the only one here with a weapon? Goes crazy. Especially since Side Order revealed Octavio does have a main weapon he used traditionally, the heavy splatling. Definitely nowhere to be seen in this pic tho.
si and johnny dating wasn’t as discreet as they had thought. “we’re best mates, innit. so.. i mean… it’s not really that deep if you wear my shit i guess.” simon gruffly says as he watches johnny pull on one of si’s old tshirts, grinning ear to ear at how it somehow manages to look baggy on him. “ye ken?” he says, an eyebrow raised as he swaggers over to the boulder of a man he gets the privilege of calling his boyfriend. simon grunts, shrugging as he loops a finger around one of johnny’s belt loops to tug him flush against him. “doesn’t matter, none of anyone’s business who i bone.” simon replies, his hands settling to the small of johnny’s waist.
and that’s how they slowly start to “introduce” ghoap to tf141. their clothes start to get mixed up, johnny’ll bring lunch for the both of them. “did’nae put any tomatoes in there, monsi.” he’ll say as he chucks a tinfoil wrapped sarnie at simon’s head. “you know me so well.” he chuckles, shooting a wink at johnny. gaz notices it, and that’s when the gears start to turn.
“ghost and soap are..??? did you know that?” gaz leans in close to price as they stand at a water fountain, his voice quiet as his eyes quickly glance over to where goap are stood in the distance— johnny’s pretending to beat the shit out of simon, while simon’s just stood there like 🧍♂️
“they’ve been together for almost a year, kyle.” price replies nonchalantly, raising a paper cup to his lips with a chuckle. “walls are thin. ol’ pricey hears and sees all.”
“what?? no way. they just come across as best friends, don’t you think?” gaz’s eyebrows furrow as he continues to watch the two of them, absolutely bamboozled at how he could’ve not seen it before!!
“believe me,” says laswell, leaning against the wall next to the water fountain. “they’re gay.”
