I feel like this is indicative of how octolings are treated and that some inklings don't know much about them or can't even recognize them and how despite being welcomed into society there is still prejudice, in this essay i will-

one of the funniest things splatoon 3 did was change "squid form" to "swim form" to apparently be more inclusive to octolings but then at the very same time introduce "squid" roll and "squid" surge. like what was the fucking POINT

Not “the universe wants us together” soulmates not “the universe wants us apart” soulmates but a secret, third thing (the universe wants us together but we keep hurting each other, it will keep pushing us together anyway)

And what if I said the watchers had Grian's punishment for getting a question wrong be the getting big one because his group was the sub-one club and they wanted to remind him that he wasn't a player and wouldn't fit in with them no matter how hard he tried? what then?

Just saw someone draw jimmy as a phoenix now that the canary curse is broken and- yes- imagery of his wings burning away when Lizzie died and then firey wings emerging after mumbo dies... hmmm.

Reblog once for reblogs sake reblog again for ramble: The above-mentioned 'Forgotten dread' is in fact something we normal, non-magical humans can experience (Unfortunately). often in cases of severe trauma (hi!) large chunks of memories will be repressed but you can still feel whatever was attached to them and be triggered by the same triggers that would appear if the memory was still there. but the memory wipe was done by our own silly, silly mind and not an 'unscrupulous mage'.

What are some chronic illnesses that can only occur in a fantasy setting?

If I had a nickel for every time I obsessed over a tragic gay ship that involved one of them grievously hurting the other because of outside forces in a sandy area leading to a long and complicated history where they are at war but sometimes forced to work together but still love each other... I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's strange that it happened twice.

Ok, maybe dumb question or maybe a question that just doesn't have an answer- what the hell is up with movie Deadpool and the X-Men?? like- if we use the excuse of 'well wolverine origins happened in a different universe than the Deadpool movies' then what the hell happened to wolverine because the lore of making Deadpool is necessary for the animantim fusion (i don't think i spelled that right but fuck it) like are there just two separate wade wilsons who happen to be mercenaries who don't know how to shut up and look exactly the same and get experimented on and become practically immortal and calling themselves Deadpool? someone, please explain I'm bashing my head into a wall

My personal HC for DJ Octavio's humanoid form (and how it works in my universe) Is that he can turn back to it, but it takes a lot of effort and hurts to sustain because that scar took out one of his hearts (Inklings and octolings have three, one in their chest and one in each arm, for octolings it's on the forearm and for inklings it's a little higher up) and his humanoid form is like, really tall- so he stays in octo form because its easier to sustain with this two remaining hearts.

I've gotten a hold of a very rare issue of Nintendo Dream from October 2017, containing an interview with the Splatoon developers. like seriously, i hadn't seen any documentation of this anywhere. HUGE huge thanks to @squidhominid, who spent Too Much Money to buy a copy and scan it!! Since a lot of it is formatted in blurbs like what's pictured above, I'd been unsure how to organize and share translations...I've decided I will gradually share snippets of it like so and compile it all later. Please be patient. Translation under the cut.

In relation to the characters from Story Mode The Rule-abiding Octarian Army

---Is Octavio a DJ and a general? Inoue: Well, his name is General DJ Octavio (laughs). He commands the Octarian army, so naturally he's a general. [[TN: Octavio's JP name includes "General" rather than just "DJ Octavio" like in english.]] ---Going off of that, there are other ranks, right? Amano: That's right. The Octarians as a species act seriously, so if they didn't have ranks they wouldn't be able to work properly. (laughs) Inoue: Originally, we made Octavio as a character as a pair to Cap'n Cuttlefish on the Inkling's side. Now as for why Octavio is an octopus that holds wasabi sticks... the act of "grating" wasabi made us think of "scratching", and "scratching" made us think of "DJ"...So he came to be both a general and a DJ. [[TN: takowasa, or octopus and wasabi paired together, is a popular izakaya snack. Same goes for atarime, (cuttlefish's JP name) dried squid. It's supposed to be like a snack showdown.]] Nogami: The Octarians are led by music. Octavio makes his own music to control them. Inoue: The music tells them to move and work according to the rules (laughs). ---So, for him as a general, is the music just for controlling the Octarians? Or does he enjoy it? Amano: It is for leadership, with that 'duntz duntz' sort of tempo. So I think for him, he sees the popularity and influence of the Squid Sisters as something that has a military-like controlling power. ---Is Cap'n Cuttlefish unable to turn into squid form, and can Octavio not turn into humanoid form? Amano: Cuttlefish can probably transform and produce some ink, but not like he could in his younger years. It's like when your grandpa says he's gonna do a squat, and he can kind of do it, but not really... it's like that. Inoue: Octavio became unable to take on his humanoid form due to an injury he got long ago. In a Sunken Scroll in S1, you can see a figure who appears to be Octavio before he was injured.

[[TN: This has to be the true origin to the information of Octavio being unable to take on humanoid form! I was troubled by the fact that when this info was brought up by the writers of nintendo dream in that 2018 issue in a way that made it sound like obvious information, they didn't say when or where they heard it...but this is it.]]

Another poll?? oh boy!!!

HEYO I've been on a gravity falls kick that made me notice something. I saw a post about Crowley and Bill and it made me think, Crowley can't see the stars because he has snake eyes as a punishment- because they were his greatest achievement right? But Bill also has a snake-like eye, and he had a normal circular pupil before he destroyed his dimension- and how did he do that? trying to show them the stars. What if now he can't see the stars, and that will never change because the only constant in the forms he possesses is his eye(s). i fucking can't sorry.
