Joshua and benrey’s dynamic in the forest AU

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:

VOTE FOR GLADOS. VOTE FOR HERRRRRR

There’s one little detail during the final boss battle of Splatoon 3 (well several, actually) that’s lost in translation

You see there’s a specific phrase associated with the Calamari Inkantation in Japanese, “to hear it is heaven, to sing it is paradise”

Cap’n Cuttlefish says it when he hears the Inkantation during the final boss of Splatoon 1:

And Marie and Callie say each half it respectively when the former helps the latter regain her memories during the final boss of Splatoon 2:

In Splatoon 3′s final battle, the phrase returns once again, where this time Cuttlefish starts with the first half, and DJ Octavio finishes it with the second half:

Now, the English localizations usually adapt this phrase with “That heavenly melody (the one and only)”, and they did have Octavio say it in 3-

But what get’s lost is the fact that, originally, Cuttlefish and Octavio were saying it together in 3, which is nice to see, given their history and all

(The Japanese phrase also generally seems a bit more profound, but the localizers probably couldn’t have guessed it’d become such a recurring thing when they were working on 1, so yeah)

One thing I think is rlly interesting abt splatoon lore is how money isn’t really all that necessary to live - there are thousands of other ways to get things like food and drinks (housing?? Idk…) but I just think it’s kind of neat we get to peek into this sort of capitalist non capitalist world where money isn’t really an issue for anyone

stemmed from a thing I saw on tiktok

（描改）KANPAI FUNK

I know this is an invincible reference but I’ve never actually seen it. it’s just a little funny imo

Anyway I’ve started writing it. I might make it a full video or smth (I have NEVER made a video b4 much less a video essay but I’m sure it’s easy [🫡] and totally not complicated or hard) but!!! Anyway I’m working on it and if anyone wants to donate their secret knowledge abt the game pls drop ur knowledge in my inbox and PLEASE include a source!!

One of these days I’m gonna crack and make a full essay on DREAMBBQ bc it’s just such an interesting game that I’d love to dissect and pull apart and maybe even find a meaning along the way (ik it’s surreal and that part of surrealism is its loss of meaning but as an enjoyer of content I would like to find some meaning in the work, canon or not!!!)

ah…. Yes. it’s time to post my weskennedy playlist….. heh… my elite music taste..,.

heard smth about a jena
