I Finally Got Around To Drawing Myself A Pfp, So I Get To Introduce Yall To My Fursona/skykid:

99% of queer discourse stops right before they define the true difference between bisexual and pansexual!

And with that, the grand festival is over…

Thank you so much to everyone who played, whether we were on the same team or not it was an absolute honor to fight with you all. This felt truly special in a way no other splatfest has before. No matter what the outcome is I am extremely proud to have participated!

I genuinely had so much more fun with this splatfest than any of the others I’ve participated in, it was probably the most fun I’ve ever had playing splatoon. I didn’t start playing splatoon 2 until we’ll after it’s final fest, and so the grand fest really did feel like a finale for me. It allowed me to come full circle in my splatoon journey.

So to everybody who participated:

HAPPY GRAND FESTIVAL

Alright my turn. I am team present, but not because of Off The Hook.

I am team present because Splatoon as a whole exists in the present. Part of what makes the game so special is that it stays on time with the fan base. It grows and changes and is amazing and beautiful and colorful as it is now.

I wasn’t around for Splatoon one, and I was only around for the very end of Splatoon Two after the Final Fest, but I still got incredibly attached to the characters. When Splatoon Three had released I got to see all the characters changed at the same pace as me. We grew up together, and that is why this franchise is special to me. It’s why I keep coming back after large amounts of time.

The past has already happened, and we should both remember and honor it. The future is uncertain, we have no idea what’s to come. We should live and appreciate the present while it is happening, because once it’s gone we can never get it back.

See y’all on the turf field, may the best team win 💕

im allowed to get sappy about grandfest and what team i'm picking & so are all of you.. lets become little philosophers together while we pick our funny teams for our funny squis game. btw the fish are attacking

I don’t like being referred to as a boy

“So let me get this straight. We’re here to rescue a princess.”

“That’s right.”

“At the request of a princess.”

“Right again.”

“And you, who will be leading the expedition, are also a princess.”

“You’re very perceptive.”

“How big is your royal family, again?“

“We don’t have one.”

“But–“

“We overthrew our monarchy centuries ago, but we kept most of the titles around. The rank of ‘princess’ is held by the directors in charge of various civil service branches.“

“Huh. And the princess we’re rescuing today is in charge of…?”

“Public sanitation.”

“The Lord of Death’s Dominion kidnapped your public sanitation director?”

“We think he’s a little confused.”

Hey. Minors following me. Internet safety is key!! NEVER include these in your bio/byf:

Medical diagnoses - this is nobody's business but yours. You don't owe anyone an explanation for why you are the way that you are

Trauma - same reason as above

Triggers - people can use these against you! Don't give people tools to hurt you. No one has to know what tags you block. Just block tags to stay safe!

Age - age is okay for adults to include but is iffy when you're a teen. Predators want this information, don't give people more than they need. Just state that you're a minor, that's all that anyone needs to know.

In general: stay safe. If you're not comfortable with every stranger out there having access to this information, you shouldn't post it on the internet.

Play devil's advocate and ask yourself about what would happen if someone searched for your information with intent to hurt you. You do NOT owe anyone an explanation!

a list of some cool features to add to splatoon ocs

canon (we’ve seen at least one canon character with these features):

Multiple colored tentacles (either individually or as a gradient)

different ear shapes

piercings, including tentacle piercings

dyed fingertips

different teeth shapes

scarred tentacles

dried or fried tentacles

deny them of their eyebrows

unnatural skin tones

facial hair

tattoos

unable to change form

different eye mask shapes

inspiration drawn from real squid and octopus species

extra or missing tentacles

making them a different animal entirely - splatoon characters aren’t limited to just inklings and octolings! Make your oc a type of fish, an anemone, an urchin, a shellfish, an octarian or a salmonid! (Or maybe something else entirely)

non-canon (as in, we’ve never seen characters with these features)

Scars from ink

ink-colored markings/visible chromatophores

shaped tentacle spots or suction cups

(I wanted this part of the list to be longer but I can’t think of any more atm lol)

if you have more ideas for either canon or non canon features, feel free to share them! :)

So I was originally going to attempt Grandtember, but I got too busy to participate (also I take ages to finish literally anything), so this is all I’ve managed to get done so far. Gonna try and get some other sketches at least for some of the other prompts.

Hypno Callie for Grandtember day one!

(Late by like a week but it’s okay I’m posting now)

Happy Grand Fest and Grand Run to those celebrating!

if you're scrolling tumblr right now because you're struggling to complete a project or assignment, take a moment to do the following:

get up and grab a resealable plastic (ziploc) bag

fill it with warm water from the sink

it will probably be somewhat difficult to fill it with warm water from the sink. youre taking a break. don't worry about it. trying to fill up the plastic bag full of warm water even though it's silly and slippery and soaks your hands. it's part of the fun

when it's full, go show someone. tell them you filled a bag with water. when they touch it, they won't expect it to be warm, and they'll tell you "ooh, it's warm!" you know this though. it's a little surprise for them

enjoy the warm water bag with them. it's fun. it probably won't spill if you sealed it well. hold it with your hands. press it against your face-- it's relaxing. jiggle it around a little bit. feel the nice, plasticky-warm texture. it's the warm water bag. it's the bag filled with water and it's fun

when you're done, take a pin or other sharp object (a pen works, but pins are best!) and bring the bag back to the sink. poke a hole in the bag with the pin. the water probably won't come out very fast. poke more if you'd like. maybe try dragging the pin across the bag and see if you can make a cut. poke many holes in it. it's fun!

throw the bag away when you're done. youve just relaxed with the bag of warm water

congratulations! try to go do your project again and you might find it easier. and if not, you've made a few water-bag based memories, or at least had a laugh or two :)
