looking thru the second artbook, perhaps this was the thought process that went into frye's design? i love unconventional designs and it does give a sense of variety
52
as an added bonus, even the inkling letters (square script) are in alphabetical order! twitter.com/cosmo_splt/sta…
53
ive been seeing a lot of speculation that Frye is a vampire squid (to the point of it getting treated as fact), and even ive been getting asked about it so...for several reasons, i absolutely do not think she is a vampire squid. I think shes just a normal inkling. here's why!...
55
coming back to twitter for 5 seconds because im sure ppl would wanna point this out to me. yes i am losing my fucking mind over the fact that theres a WORLD MAP in ammo knights. for YEARS ive been saying i'd kill to see it and they just put it. right there. crying screaming etc
56
huge day for splat lore fans...
feast your eyes upon the first ever *OFFICIAL* map of the Splatoon world.
texture extracted from Ammo Knights, BIG thanks to judas @RAMDRAGONS for snagging it for me twitter.com/rassicas/statu…
57
crazy how disrespectful people are being with splatoon 3 story spoilers...the fact that the game isnt out for another 5 days and i feel *lucky* to have avoided the spoilers i have shouldn't be happening. so many people i know have had part of the experience ruined for them.
58
THE WAY A NEW DEV INTERVIEW DROPPED FOCUSING ON HOW MUCH THOUGHT THEY PUT INTO THE WORLDBUILDING OF SPLATOON WITH A FUCKING CANONICAL MAP OF INKOPOLIS BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
59
Theres a lower res map that has areas that are unlabeled in the higher res map?? "Yokosuka Peninsula" "Chi Ba Region"
after years of debate we can finally rest. this is where inkopolis and the splatlands are. tokyo. the tokyo to atami comparison was literal. there it is.

splatoon 3 story spoilers
so here was my reaction to THAT scene
61
consumed splatoon gummies.
review:
the taste and texture is kind of not good.
end review.
63
i feel SO bad for all these concert goers that are forced to calmly SIT for this insane concert

translation clockwise from the top lol:
Help!
Big Shot/Stinger/Flyfish (*changes depending on the number of button mashes)
OK
Ink some more!
Booyah!
AAAAAAAAAAAH
sorry
Deliver the eggs! twitter.com/XX86ZLGLAA6ydl…

splatoon 3's Sunken Scroll 14 translated and typeset just for fun.
スプラトゥーン3のミステリーファイル14はイカ語から翻訳しました。
original/transcribed text from Inkling script to latin script (weird romaji) /ENG/日本語
66
id like more of the JP side of the splatoon community to be aware of how thoroughly the inkling language has been deciphered by those on the english speaking side (because it is a cool thing!)
67
the way i was psychic for drawing this 3 years ago twitter.com/rassicas/statu…
68
LMAOOO jp comments pointing out that the last kanji in 発射 (firing) and the first one in 精度 (precision) when put together, as they are here, read as 射精 (ejaculation) twitter.com/SplatoonJP/sta…
69
im surprised "inkfish" never really caught on in the english-speaking splatoon community as a shorthand for "inklings and octolings," akin to "イカタコ" in JP. usually i see "cephalings" or "cephalopods" which still have a lot of letters
"inkfish" even gets used in game by flow

if anyone for some reason doubted that the salmon filets in makomart really were salmonid meat or their whole thing about not fearing death...behold: twitter.com/Timtams_art/st…
71
those eggs had places to be (not the basket) #Splatoon3 #NintendoSwitch
72
I saw a few lines of Big Run news dialogue that were raising concern, namely about those implying salmonids were just dumb animals so.... ENG vs JP
73
How was the Inkling language made? How famous are the Squid Sisters in the Inkling world (in S1)? Why do Inklings die in water?
All this and more is covered in this 2015 Splatoon developer interview that went untranslated until now.
see the replies for a link to the translation!

The strap on the headlamp of the Salmon Run slopsuits contains a secret message:
CONTACT UR PEOPLE TO RESCUE YOU FROM THEM
TURTLE HELM PROTECTS YOU FROM ALL ATTACKS
