How the Grinch Stole Christmas 2000, dir. Ron Howard

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

Agent4- “I saw the note.”

Marina- “And what did it say?”

Agent4- “It’s ambiguous.”

Marina- “I’m not overriding the controls for you.”

Agent4: *running towards 8 with open arms*

Agent8: *moves out of the way*

Agent4: Hey, why'd you move?!

Agent8: I thought you were going to attack me.

Agent4: I was going to hug you!

Agent8: Why would you hug me?

Agent4: WHY WOULD I ATTACK YOU!?

Marie: How petty can you get?

Pearl: I once edited a Wikipedia article to win an argument I was wrong about.

Neo3: Why does Agent 8 have you in her phone as BBG?

Cap3: How about we stop talking for a little while.

Cap3: One time, I had a crush on an ally of ours but I didn’t know how to deal with it so I just wrote them a note that said “Get out of my house.”

Agent8: THAT WAS YOU?!?!

Marie: So, did everyone learn their lesson?

Neo3: No.

Cap3: I did not.

Agent4: I may have actually forgotten one.

Callie: Also no.

Marie: Oh good, neither did I.

Marina: *Exhausted sigh*

Agent8: Captain is too tall for me to kiss them on the lips. What should I do?

Agent4: Punch them in the stomach. Then, when they double over in pain, kiss them.

Pearl: Tackle them!

Marie: Dump them.

Neo3: Kick them in the shin!

Captain: No to all of those! Just ask me to lean down!!

Neo3: Bye Captain! Bye Miss Callie! Bye Miss Marie! Bye Agent4! Bye Captain!

Agent8: You said ‘bye Captain’ twice.

Neo3: I like Captain.

Mr. Grizz: Man, they look like a real handful. How do you deal with them?

Marina, watching Agent4 and Pearl screaming, Captain trying to set a sleeping Neo3 on fire, and Callie choking on air: I don't know either.

Pearl: Rules were made to be broken.

Marie: They were made to be followed. Nothing is made to be broken.

Agent4: Uh, piñatas.

Agent8: Glow sticks.

Neo3: Karate boards.

Callie: Spaghetti when you have a small pot.

Pearl: Rules.

Marie: -3-

Captain: Crud, we have a flat tire!

Agent4: Ah crud! 

Neo3: What are we gonna do? We're still really far away!

Agent4: Don't worry guys, I put a spare in the trunk!

Marie: ...Four, I swear on the Cuttlefish name, if I open the trunk and there is bowling pins set up back there I am going to throw you to Splatsville.

Sheldon: *glaring at 4*

Callie: *staring at 4*

Captain: *glaring at 4*

Agent4: ...

Agent4: Don't open the trunk

Callie: Cap won't come out of his room

Neo3: Just tell him I said something

Callie: Like what?

Neo3: Anything factually wrong

*a few minutes later*

Captain, bursting into the room: Did you say the sun is a pLANET

Marie: Three, what is this called?

Neo3: A mop?

Marie: Now tell him what you think it is

Agent4, close to tears: Wet broom 

Agent4, very high/tired, to Neo3: "You're so full of yourself" is such a weird expression like, what else would I be full of??? Bees??? Styrofoam???”

Neo3: ????

Marie: “You’re dating him.”

Agent8, painfully: “I know.”

Marie: So what's the new rule here?

Callie, Pearl & Agent4: No daring Three to do stupid stuff

Captain: Why?

Neo3, muttering: Because I have no regard for my personal safety

Captain: Right

(On the teacups)

8, Marie & Marina: *spinning calmly and talking about things*

4, 3, Cap, Pearl & Callie: *zoom by at lightning speed, screaming loudly*

Marie: Whenever I’m mad at Pearl I tighten all the jars in the kitchen so they has to come to me for help.

*sound of glass smashing*

Marie: It hasn’t worked yet but I’m staying hopeful.

Marie(about 8 to Captain)- I thought you said she was JUST trying to kill you.

Pearl- Wow, quick turnaround.

Agent4- No kidding, it took me MONTHS to stop trying to kill Captain.

Callie- I’d say it took me a day, day and a half.

Neo3- I’m still on the fence.

(Insert offended Captain here)

Callie- That sounds bad

Pearl- That looks bad

Marina- That IS bad!!

Marie- So I come home and see my brother’s made this cool thing so I pick it up to look at it and he goes, “HUH.

Captain- The darkness gets closer to consuming me with each passing day-

Sheldon- That gives us 41 hours until the destruction of all organic life on Earth.
