inkyoctoling:

He was going to continue arguing, but immediately fell silent upon being told to shut up. At first, he felt a bit annoyed and hurt, but upon hearing that familiar insult, dork, he couldn’t help but crack a small, but sad smile. Peter really wanted to say something, he did, but he had no clue what he’d even bring up. Asking if she was okay was a dumb question, and going in to give her a hug, some kind of comfort, it didn’t seem like a good idea. So he just stood there, awkwardly shifting from foot to foot as he waited.

She seemed…so worn down and exhausted, and this other emotion he couldn’t really sense. Regret? No, it didn’t really feel like that. Emptiness maybe? It was always kind of hard to tell with her. Soda stared for minutes (or at least it felt like that).

He stiffened up a bit as she stepped forward and grabbed his collar, mostly out of surprise, but quickly relaxed. Peter fumbled as Soda began trying to pull him down, a foot stepping forward a bit to catch himself before he went crashing onto the floor. After a moment of thought, he wrapped an arm around her continued the motion to go down with her, only without risking one of them hurting themselves going down, until they were both sitting.

“Sugar, what are you doing?” he asked, more curious and slightly amused than anything else.

Yeah, fuck that plan.

The burst of self-destructive energy vanished, but she was left disoriented in its wake, trying to figure out how she’d arrived here. Fortunately, Peter seemed steadier on his feet than she was. His half-hug was very much appreciated, even if her baffled expression plainly detailed the effort it took to recalibrate and remember to recognize him.

Well, she was here now, and still frustrated and highly overwhelmed. Now would’ve been a wonderful time to pummel his chest and scream at him, but she already had a headache, thank you very much. Instead, her own chest heaves as she tries to catch her violently shaky breath, and she doesn’t mask how hard she flinches away at Peter’s choice of nickname.

“ I--- That’s what I called... ”   She forces another deep breath, closing her eyes and steadying herself with one hand on Peter’s shoulder. Their legs were entangled in a way she might’ve called awkward with any spare ounce of awareness, but as it was --- she wasn’t about to fuckin’ argue.   “ Rina. A mimic Octoling I knew once. And I--- ”   Soda lets out a high-pitched giggle, ducking her head as the turquoise on her cheeks continued to darken.   “ I kissed her after I said that. So--- you know, I--- ”

She pressed her hand to the back of his neck, tilted her head up, and kissed him, full on the lips.

“ Mm. I don’t... know what I’m doing. But I’m a little... ”   Another shaky inhale.   “ A little tired of, you know... giving a damn. ”

HEY GIVE THIS A LIKE IF YOU WANNA BE ON SODAS RELATIONSHIPS PAGE!!!

takozonesuu replied to your post:

i have a squid who is tentatek trash so this is great

THATS GOOD BC I WAS LOWKEY GONNA... THINK ABOUT IT.

i renamed mself in game to “tentakook” too.

hey guys you wanna see my new squid shes named tentatek

it’s 8am and i only got up to make this post about inkling masks but its uh... relevant to soda’s eye so i have a bit of an excuse

it’s never rlly explained or even hinted at as to why the inklings have masks, and i don’t actually know why they were designed that way, but i hc that they’re a third eyelid of sorts adapted for life on land. you know when we open our eyes underwater, everything’s a bit blurry, so the masks were evolved to negate the reverse: sea creatures’ blurry vision on land.

this also explains why you see their eyes & masks in squid-form when not in ink, but they then disappear in ink, a medium they’re otherwise accustomed to. and tbh i’d think since ink is, you know, opaque, they probably use some sort of heat-seeking or echolocation thing anyway.

when the mask gets DAMAGED, two things can happen:

1. if just the outer layer of the mask is damaged by any means except enemy ink, just the third eyelid, it’s kind of like having really bad vision in one or both eyes. that’s usually corrected w prescription lenses and can just be a birth defect, sort of like poor eyesight to us.

2. if the outer layer of the mask is damaged by enemy ink and not attended to, the damage can sink deeper and become permanent. the threshold for it to become irreversible varies depending on the amount of enemy ink exposed to, but if you’re, say, shot in the eye by a charger and take the full shot straight to your eye, you’re gonna need help IMMEDIATELY.

even if you do get help in that particular scenario, the mask has been permanently shattered by the force of the impact, so you’re gonna be stuck w poor vision. just don’t get shot in the eye by an octosniper

if an un-concentrated amount bled into your eye in like, turf war, you would probably have about a week to notice it before it did any permanent damage. either way, this form of damage usually results in partial blindness or full blindness in the affected eye.

nowadays the point of masks isn’t really acknowledged, since inklings just Live w Them and they all know this stuff. they’re seen as much more cosmetic than the practical they once were, so inklings love to gussy them up --- using make-up so they look fuller, similar to long eyelashes, or using a special kind of paint designed to mimic the “material” they’re made out of to change the shape of their mask.

masks are made of the same material inklings’ fingernails are made of, which is to say a flexible, almost rubber-like “skin” made of condensed ink. they’re pretty easily broken.
