A Short Little Bonus Comic! Rest In Pieces Octavio…

Encountered this hilarious team last night that wore identical hats and weapons. They didn’t fight or anything, covered 0.0% turf, and just danced around. They simply wished to entertain and succeeded as I was laughing the whole time.

Chain’s reaction to this battle:

Ain’t nobody gonna see this but I have theory of the Calamari Inkantation. Splatoon 3 Spoilers.

Okay so I was listening to Wave Goodbye, the Splatoon 3 Credits Song, over and over like a normal person, when at some point I realized when they get to the portion that starts the Calamari Inkantation lyrics, there are non-filtered voices singing. Humans Voices. (Pictured is around the point where that section starts)

Then I thought to myself: What if the Calamari Inkantation originated as a song humans made on Alterna? A song to help them continue despite their world falling around them. Then I started looking into the logs and reflecting on past events with the song and..

Let’s just say Sunken Scroll #23 from Splatoon 1 saying: “Nowadays, this song and dance may as well be carved into the very DNA of all Inklings.” ..might be a tiny bit more literal than expected. Let’s take a look at what we know.

The Calamari Inkantation is a literal incantation. Series of words, or a song in this case, that causes magical effects. It has, in many cases, been known to give strength, physical or otherwise, to those who have been in audible range of it. Ex. Giving Cuttlefish the strength to break out of his restraints and Smallfry to temporarily evolve(?) into Hugefry.

With that said, I believe the “Calamari” part could be from the place it was “founded” in and taken on as a traditional song for. Calamari Country. Which is where Callie and Marie come from. Perhaps the Inklings of the area long ago found the sheet music.

Moving on, the part of this that helps this theory’s case is Alterna Log005: Fresh Intelligence Awakens.

After the liquid crystals that retained decades of humanity’s wishes was absorbed by the squids, octopuses, and other sea creatures that inhabited Alterna’s waters.. it imbued them with fresh impulses that “bore a striking resembling to humanity’s passive desire to return to the Earth’s surface”.

Interesting. The desire to return to the surface was slowly fused into their DNA. You may be thinking “But what does this have to do with the Inkantation?” And that’s exactly where I’m going with this.

So if we are to think.. the Calamari Inkantation was made by the humans on Alterna, perhaps filled lyrically with their wishes.. and the sea creatures absorbed the desire and wishes of humanity to return to the surface through the liquid crystals.. and the Calamari Inkantation gives sea creatures the literal strength to move forward..

And the INKADIA-BORN OCTOLINGS, who were SUFFERING in poor conditions UNDERGROUND in DOMES heard the CALAMARI INKANTATION and suddenly their “SOULS WERE FREED” and THE DESIRE TO RETURN TO THE SURFACE AND THRIVE WAS EVOKED INTO THEM AGAIN?

AFTER YEARS OF LIVING A HARD MILITARISTIC-STYLE LIFE WITH BEING INDUCTED INTO THE ARMY AT A YOUNG AGE, THEY FOUND THE STRENGTH TO LEAVE THEIR ENTIRE OLD LIFE BEHIND? TO RISK IT ALL. EVEN THEIR OWN LIFE. TO JOIN WHAT THEY WERE PRESUMED TO BE THEIR WORST ENEMIES ON THE SURFACE IN HARMONY?

After thinking about all this and rewatching the Octo Expansion Surface Cutscene (from that last GIF), I nearly wanted to CRY. They had never seen the real sky before, the real SUN before. They made it. Not only the Octolings but humanity’s final wishes made it too.

That’s my theory. Perhaps I’m wrong but either way I would love to see what people think. Thanks for reading.

Oh and also, since it named the “Inkantation” that means someone knew of its power... This just in, did the Inklings cheat in the Great Turf War?

But that’s for another day lol

“Okay, I’m heading out!” You called from the door just as you walked through it and closed it, hearing the muffled ‘stay safe’ your mother called from behind the now closed door. Rolling your eyes, you pulled on a jacket and took off to the street, turning left into the more deserted part of the city.

So okay… you’re not supposed to take this route, but it’s a real shortcut and you have never been in danger throughout the year you have been using it.

Your mother was just being paranoid as usual.

Gotta love it when the gang splits up into two groups which are usually these guys

who are mature and responsible whenever they’re together, always stay on task, and generally go about things in a sensible way. And yet somehow they never get anything done.

While on the other side of town it cuts to these idiots

Doing some random-ass shit, being incredibly stupid and inefficient and yet somehow doing everything they were supposed to do and more just by pure luck.

Thinks about colour coded found family elemental ninjas for FAR too long.

CARNIVAL AU

I wanted to try my own take at a sort of "swap au " :3! though-- it's more a "role swap" than anything else, haha!

I give yall Zooble another time cuz I'm sleepyyy

Zane: "on a scale from 'damn daniel' to 'fre sha vaca do', how are you feeling?"

Jay: "in between 'it’s an avocado, thanks' and 'how did you defeat Captain America', but as a solid answer i would say 'i don’t need a degree to be a clothing hanger'. how about you, Cole?"

Cole: "probably 'road work ahead' "

Kai: "i speak many languages, and this is not one of them."

Who knows what she could be hiding in that floof

Bonus:

So next page was voted.  I’ll be posting the Future Donnie Design soon.  At least you got a peek at him here.  I’m not usually one for torture porn, so sorry for the heavy flashback.  The next page will be more of a comfort arch, promise.
