I've Started Messing Around With Painting, And Its Fun!

Nintendo fans: "Please... we need news about the Switch 2..."

Nintendo: "C L O C K"

End-of-Splatoon thoughts.

Thinking about finding human-made music discs buried underground for thousands of years, and a grand finale music festival. About those human handprints etched into concrete in Alterna. Did those human artists know it would end like this? First a fiery death and then, eventually, a worldwide celebration of music to represent our shared past, present, and future. Did they know that their songs, insignificant in the face of extinction, would one day become the solution that will save the next dominant life-form from the same fate?

Thinking about how since the very start, Splatoon has had a feature where players can draw and post artwork and spot them as graffiti on walls or billboards. Or how the weapons have always been paint brushes and rollers and ballpoint pens. Since its inception, Splatoon has been dedicated to engaging its players with the act of creation and creative expression, showing them how their art can build communities and (literally) change the world.

Thinking about how art and music and punk culture and rock & roll and friendly competition and petty arguments and water guns aren’t uniquely human concepts, but the fundamental qualities of intelligent life. An inheritable spirit that can cross evolutionary bounds.

Thinking about how eerily similar the Octarian domes are to Alterna. About how close Inklings and Octolings were to repeating the same mistakes as humans. But their doomed fates were undone not by some miracle technology or military power or a rocket, but by music.

Thinking about how humans wiped themselves out with war, and our parting gifts were liquid crystals that somehow paired with the DNA of primeval inklings and somehow infused them with our memories and culture and a Song. And 12,000 years in the future, that same Song will end a war.

Thinking about the theme of Splatoon, that art and music and fun will not die with the human race. That every piece of art we create is a seed we sow for future generations to reap. That our legacy is ingrained into the crust of the earth. That long after we’re gone, the oceans will remember, and they’ll pick up where we left off.

Thinking about how Splatoon says that the essence of humanity –– the thing that will outlive us –– isn't war or prejudice or destruction or greed, it's a song.

DO NOT TAG AS VALENTINES WERE GETTING AROMANTIC TRENDING

Newer art with newer OCs, Raine and Skye! They're probably among my favorites to draw just because the colors I associate them with (light blues and purples)

Stop acting like the Minecraft movie is redeemed

I feel like Im going insane. Why are we suddenly acting like the Minecraft movie will be great? In what way did the second trailer redeem it besides doing some of the bare minimum stuff?

"Guys they used C418's music!" This was the literal basic standard for the movie's sound track. I would be more surprised if they didn't use it.

"It looks better!" In what way? The iron golem looked great ngl, but everything else was mid or just awful. Go look at the villagers and tell me anything has improved.

"Haha the mines joke was funny!" Its a megacorporation trying to sound like they're in touch.

This is still another live action cash grab, and unfortunately it'll probably work. It pisses me off knowing what we could've gotten instead of this. I have seen so many fantastic ideas from people over here. You can go see the movie if you want, but stop praising it like they've done something good. They haven't.

fuck romance, unhappy valentines day to all my aro friends 🔥🔥💚🤍🩶🖤
