Dissonant Melody: Part #7

Deductive reasoning is really not the inkling species’ strong suit…..

ALSO! I’m planning on posting Part #8 on Aug. 8th! It’s going to be a….somewhat unconventional update. Definitely not the standard 4 pages haha. I don’t want to say too much, but hey, y'all only need to wait 2 days to find out what it is!

(I guess this is a bonus comic?? It’s definitely still in story canon lol)

Edit: Here’s an additional sketch of this garbage prince rummaging through a metal shop like a raccoon. 

Listen, Side Order is fun and great.

But...

what if... it was a little different? 👀

SIDE ORDER REWRITE THOUGHTS DOWN BELOW:

(please reblog!)

OKAY SO the main issue I have with side order is a lack of incentive for Agent 8 and the player to complete the spire with all the palettes. YES. LORE. and I like that a lot BUT fighting Smollusk everytime? Snore. Let's spice it up. We free the owner of the palette by fighting the grayscaled version of them. Each final boss is different, so we as the player have an incentive to see new boss and Agent 8 has to save their souls!!!

So in pic one, Deep Cut (at least Shiver and Frye) still haven't been freed, so they're spaced out. They still give the news, but their dialogue is different and more tired/boring. It'll be like this until the player frees their palettes. (or until they complete the first run? that'd be more forgiving for casual players)

Speaking of, apparently a lot of people got pulled in, right? Let's show them in the order plaza!!! Wouldn't it be creepy to just have grayscaled people wandering around- and the text boxes that usually contain players messages and art is just... blank? (or all replaced with the same message like "Order Will Prevail")

Some other notes:

On your first run, Marina is the final boss. You gotta rescue her!!! First phase it's Marina Agitando, then the second and third phases are Overlorder

Pearl stays a Drone until you complete her palette

As you complete palettes, less and less grayscaled people will be in the square. It makes it more empty, but that's only because you're saving people. But in contrast the lobby becomes more full of instruments and light (like in the actual game)

lmk what you think :)

Did they really drop the pearlina vs shivrye rap battle and think we wouldn't notice?

SumiTaba for the shipping meme?

Falls asleep on the couch

Futaba, her sleep schedule is a complete enigma to everyone, including her

Makes friends with the neighbors

Definitely Sumire, and she'd try to help Futaba come out of her shell and chat to the neighbors as well. At Futaba's pace, of course.

Is the adventurous eater

I think both of them would; Sumire because she's always hungry and Futaba because she'd probably read about something online and think "Sounds interesting, let's try it"

Hogs the covers at night

Definitely Futaba, she's probably still a gremlin in her sleep; hogging the covers, fidgeting constantly, shoving Sumire closer to the edge, etc.

Forgets to do the dishes

Futaba, this one was a given.

Tries to surprise their partner more often

I think both of them would but in different ways, like Futaba would find out about a new place online and then take Sumire there, and Sumire would find something Futaba wants in a shop and buy it for her so Futaba wouldn't have to go out get it herself

Leaves dirty laundry on the floor

I think both of them are pretty good at taking care of their clothes but Futaba would probably just dump her clothes on the floor when she's busy

Stays up til 2 AM reading

Futaba... Probably stays up later than 2AM...

Sings in the shower

Both of them, I think Futaba would probably sing whichever anime opening she's obsessed with at that moment in time and Sumire would probably sing whichever songs she's using for her routines

Takes the selfies

Futaba

Plans date night

I think Futaba would, mostly because you just know that she would be that person who does loads of research before doing something like that. Plus, I think she'd just like to surprise Sumire after her competitions.

Some prints I’ll be selling in the near future, took a while but I’m glad I got them out!
