Good News, Fellow Artists! Nightshade Has Finally Been Released By The UChicago Team! If You Aren't Aware

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

So my sib & I got a little too invested in the idea of a Splat animated series that has a more character driven version of the story modes

Anyways, here's what we decided the Agents would be

Have I enticed you yet or am I going ro have to make more content? (Which I would do anyways,,,)

Wow these guys are making a lotta sense fellas

goodbye owl house, and thanks for everything <3

Official Splatoon Fonts (Complete with Kanji) Download!

Hi! I see that a lot of Splatoon artists/youtubers try to use the Splatoon official fonts, and well there is the font reproductions out there, most only cover the basic English characters and sometimes hiragana/katakana (without kanji).

Since I've never managed to find a download provider ANYWHERE (both in English AND Japanese web) that had both the Splatoon scripts complete with kanji, I had to basically scavenge the internet to find any downloadable file with the complete fonts. I managed to find the Splatoon 1 font in Japanese font site, and the Splatoon 2 Ui font in a random link in google images to a site called FFonts (jp) with the file, both were complete with kanji.

SO to make everyone's life easier I just got both of the files and uploaded to Google Drive since there are no sites or posts that provide the links. (Please remember that these fonts use paid designs and are NOT provided for commercial usage, the font is owned by Nintendo).

(Please follow me for awesome art)

Here is the link to download both:

Pls reblog and share, I did sweaty work for the greater good of Splatoon artists, have fun!

so real for going off like, your cooking is spectacular. for real thought, you're so right, so often Aro/Ace/AroAce characters aren't respected/treated as what they are by their fandoms is outstandingly high. so yea, please continue to go off.

I’m going to say something that a LARGE, if not disproportionate, amount of the Hazbin fandom would absolutely drag me for. If you don’t like what I have to say here then move on.

Alastor is aro ace. You can argue till you’re blue in the face, it won’t change my mind. His identity is not respected. The entire fandom disregards this and even those who agree go on a tangent that aromanticism and asexuality are spectrums and that aro ace people can still date/have sex.

As an aro ace person in a relationship, respectfully, fuck off. I’ve been out for 10 years and in that time I have seen other queer people argue endlessly about the validity of our identities. To this day it’s still an argument. We’re told we aren’t queer, that we’re robotic, weird, missing something fundamentally human, etc. Aro ace rep in media is rare and as soon as we get some you guys suddenly jump on the bandwagon that we are in fact a spectrum while most of you completely miss the understanding and culture of the community. There are so many complexities and nuances in our identities that many outside don’t understand and can’t understand. In real life, we constantly have to experience “othering” and if we do date/have sex, well then suddenly we don’t apply to be aro ace. But when it’s a character that you all want to mess with, suddenly you “get it”. You don’t.

“Viv said we can do whatever as long as we’re respectful!” You aren’t. If you’re so convinced that we are a spectrum, then why does it seem like you can never believe he’s on the side of being entirely disinterested. Aro ace belittling is as strong as ever and I will speak up on it just as I always have.

Like I said before, dni if you’ve got a problem with this. I already have to deal with flak enough as it is.
