“Name a fandom that was comfy until little kids came and ruined everything”
Replies: *starts mentioning media purposefully aimed for, predominantly, children and young teens*
Tried to break down Deep Cuts new Splatoween outfits
Shivers looking more like a Geisha with a spider lily as their new headpiece and wearing gold
Fryes decked out in beautiful silver jewelry and white face paint
Big MAN isn’t a ghost,, he’s the BoogeyMAN (wicked pun imo)
Team Money wins instead of Love
Team handshakes wins instead of Hugs
Team SOLO wins instead of FRIENDS
WHAT HAS THE WORLD COME TO 😭😭 WHERES THE AFFECTION AND HUMAN CONNECTIONS
I hope the Splatoon 3: Side Order dlc is partially just “see, how INTERESTING and COOL everything would have been if ORDER WON”
Like ok IM SORRY MARINA 😭
It’s more niche but the inkling Walking alongside the likes of Mario, animal crossing and the legend of Zelda (as franchises)
truly solidified Splatoon as one of the “faces” of Nintendo and as one of its most important and significant Ip’s
So if Shivers a Sukeban,,,that means they’re a certified girlboss ( and goes against “gender norms” 🤔 )
But seriously; I think it’s cool Splatoon has a character that represents the idea of “protesting against [a male dominated] society” considering Splatoon itself is women led
The difference between gaming communities is crazy like these reactions to Splatoon winning are so odd to me
Y’all dislike and downplay this game so much and for what 😭
Nintendo is one of the largest companies I can think of that has never done anything woke — they’ve completely stayed out of cultural issues. I trust them more than Disney for content for my kids.
“Why mint chocolate” open up your hearts and minds
( we also JUST had a splatfest all about chocolate flavors; mint not included as those flavor options 💀)
SRL Splatfest Research Team here! We've uncovered the next Splatfest theme. "Which flavor of ice cream is best? Vanilla, strawberry, or mint chip?" WOW. As scientists, we'll remain neutral, but there IS a correct answer. Battle it out from 5 PM PT on 7/14 to 5 PM PT on 7/16!
It’s so GENUINELY impressive how the English (NoA) localization team for Splatoon just tainted Marie’s character forever, she is never getting past the being hateful allegations 😭
Fun fact: even if a trans person is “bad” that doesn’t mean you can misgender them, not being misgendered isn’t something you earn it should be the default
'Something very large' has been photographed in the waters of Loch Ness by a holidaymaker
John Payne, who was staying on the southern banks of the loch, said he spotted something that was 'like a huge neck' - sparking rumours it was the elusive Nessie
AHHHH SHIVER 😭😭wanting to spend the holidays with Frye & Big Man; the coupons referencing Deep Cuts past and Fryes FIRST splatfest win
Shivers CLEARLY upset that their surprise didnt go as planned but denies it, so Frye + Big Man can still enjoy their holidays how they want 🥹
I know some ppl don’t see the “point” of the inkopolis dlc; but it’s very clearly being marketed as a plaza reskin and the closest thing we’ll get to a Port of the OG Splatoon
There doesn’t HAVE to have a reason “why,” why SHOULDNT we get to go to Inkopolis ? It’s just for fun
// Splatoon 3 spoilers
“Shiver ! Frye ! Stop trying to fight our newest agent recruit, we’re trying to save our grandfather ”
BLEHHHHHHH :p you can’t tell us what to do !!!
Not trying to be a Nintendo fanboy or anything but FoamStars is just Splatoon right ? Like we all agree its literally just Splatoon but minus the personality😭
( how did we go from Splatoon being seen as a joke or shocked its winning awards to copies of it from a known company )
During the original Splatoon Splatfests Callie or Marie would stop singing to hype up the players! Resulting in a crowd cheering
-this can depend on which team is in the lead,but it’s not always the case;this was brought back for Splat2’s final fest when they preform “Ink me up”
Perhaps I'm late to the trend, but I want to know:
What is the most useless piece of Splatoon knowledge you know? This could be world lore, game facts, or any extended form of research!
Oh hold on so does that mean the anniversary splatfest is technically a pun on the saying “pick your poison” ?
“greed hatred delusion” none of these are -good- leadership qualities 😭 “three negative qualities of the mind that cause most of our problems”
“The 3 [anarchy] poisons”
Bird-Greed; shiver is upset abt not getting a cut of revenue
Snake-anger; Frye is mad bc big man thinks he can lie to her and shivers face
Boar-ignorance; big man is playing dumb
Their splatfest solos are literally called “bird/snake/boar mix” 😭
Am I losing my mind rn, Marie what are you doing here 😭
The tentacle hair color has a green tint and everything too AND Marie was on team order,,, plus she was sitting next to agent 8 in the official artwork
You’d think (at a first glance) that Frye would be on Team Spicy, all things considered, but I guess they REALLY wanted her to have guaranteed points for her team
SRL cafeteria line cook here. They said I should tell ya the next
#Splatfest
theme, so here goes. What's your favorite taste sensation? Spicy, sweet, or sour?
It starts at 4pm PT on Friday 1/6 and goes till 4pm PT on Sunday 1/8. Me? I think the best taste is deep-fried.
-seemingly, roommates w/ 8
-palette icon is the squidbeak Splatoon
-Marina wanted them to protect the memverse, even though they were team chaos
-seen in Tribe dressed in their splat2 agent gear
-was supposed to be a “big shot”
I dont understand the point of this character
SPECIAL SPLATFESTS ARE IN THE FILES we are SO back
Will we get new ones ? What exclusive splatfest gear will we get this time around ( will old ones come back ?) what new ink effects will we get/come back ? IM SO EXCITED !!
Nintendo of America accidentally posted Off the Hook’s Day 2 song instead of Color Pulse ’24
So here it is in full, just in case it gets taken down,,,, We’re so Back 😭
Literally anything to do with Humans in Splatoon
How their collective desire was to see the sky again,splatfests being a way to celebrate “this festival called life” while using a piece of old tech humans created,the professors love for Judd
Humans making the SAME mistake again
You know these Splatoon concerts are SERIOUS business bc they made Shivers teeth more “accurate”
There’s no longer a -middle- tooth that happens in-game when they speak (4th pic for reference)
Semi-genuine question but did the Splatoon devs seriously use Side Order as a way to get past the censors or something ??? bc Marina is being a total lesbian in broad daylight rn 😭
no subtext or anything she’s just in love, even the NoA dialogue doesn’t hold back
> This is a regional splatfest (no jp)
> Nobody is vouching for sunday its basically Friday vs Saturday
> everybody likes Saturdays (no school/usually no work that day)
> blue Frye (super cute)
> ppl desperate for a Frye win
If she loses AGAIN then thats a teamwide skill issue
SRL Splatfest Research Team here! We've discovered the next Splatfest theme. "What's the best day of the weekend? Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?"
Make your choice and battle it out from 4 PM PT on 2/16 to 4 PM PT on 2/18!
I have always loved how the Splatoon idols resemble their Va’s so well
Anna Sato’s graceful movements + bang and long straight hair and Laura Yokozawa energetic movements + short curly hair just SCREAM Shiver and Frye
Literally the perfect castings; every-time
is kidnapping really that bad if all you do is keep them in the car, go on a little roadtrip, provide them with necessities and amenities and generally treat your victim with kindness?
