hi apologies for absolutely random anon here but . so. i've been subscribed to your youtube for a long time, had no idea you had a tumblr, but a few of my mutuals reblogged your splatoon-related content and I wandered over to confirm this was the same person and woa... true. real. but regardless i scrolled through your blog because i love your art/animations and OH my god as someone that was a devoted fnaf fan back in 2015-2016 (to the point of regularly roleplaying as purple guy/vincent as a 12 year old. lol) your art here is like a blast to the past . extreme nostalgia going on. thank you i am consuming it readily. inner 12 year old me is going absolutely bonkers rn. ok that was all. thank u
thats awesome to hear 🤩🤩🤩!! i am glad that my fnaf art can provide nostalgia (i loved the old fnaf fandom so i've been trying to catch that same energy in my art)

Up coming project!
Tumblr media
A little sneak peek on what am currently working on, inspired by kevin-ibw salvation AU!
This project is mostly headcanons on what happened to Vox and such, nothing canon unless it was already stated in Kevin-ibw blog!
I just really love SHAU Vox design and the tiny lore facts about him !
this project probably the main reason why am not posting as much right now. Oh well.
I hope we get more lore of this AU soon!

the octotrio with an inkling!reader
❥❥am I splicing my current hyperfixation into a completely unrelated fandom bc the fresh season just recently dropped?? Yes. Is it going to be kinda awkward bc this is my very first fic on this page??? Also yes 👍But man is it gonna be fun to write, so I hope you guys will have just as much fun reading!
Tumblr media
❥ the reader falls into this twisted wonderland unannounced and unprepared, but much to the student body's surprise, this new transfer student was... A squid? A kid?? It was anyone's guess, but for now it was decided that you would reside in Octainvinelle, seeing as you were a cephalopod of some sort. How do you fair in the ranks of the fish mafia?
Category- Fluff ☀
Content- semi platonic, Azul Jade and Floyd, you are an inkling from Splatoon
Azul Ashengrotto
══✿══╡°˖✧✿✧˖°╞══✿══
➼When you had first arrived at the dorm's doorstep, he couldn't deny his interest was piqued! Not only was he interested in seeing that squids had evolved their own little subspecies, but he also saw this as the perfect opportunity for profit!
➼A creature that can continuously produce different colored inks?? He's practically seeing dollar signs...
➼No doubt he'll probably ask for a little share of what's in your ink tank, and in return he'll provide you protection and some benefits in the lounge, (albeit some very miniscule ones. Can't lose too much profit, now can we?).
➼But nevertheless, it couldn't be denied that your presence in the lounge had certainly brightened the atmosphere. Now not only can one make shady business deals, but they also get to watch this strange little squid creature run around and obsess over anything it deems "fresh".
➼Eventually though he would begin to warm up to you and see you as a bit more than a walking money bag, especially after the overblot incident. You offered him a helping hand and a friendly smile, even when he was hardly deserving of forgiveness, and he will always be grateful for that (though he will never admit that a loud).
➼He's always sure to keep watch over you, whether it be him in person or the twins, and if someone dares to cause you any trouble... Whew boy, they better hope they can handle a good squeeze.
➼Anytime there's something you want to show him, you'd better believe he's dropping what he's doing to look (within reason ofc), and if you manage to bring him something of extra value, he's sure to praise you and treat you to something from the lounge's menu.
➼Most of your time together is just you dragging him along to look for something fun to do, and although a lot of times he would rather be back at the lounge counting up earnings or advertising new business opportunities, he just can't say no to that face...
➼Overall he'll likely be your safest bet as long as you're willing to sacrifice some ink and maybe your free will 👍
Floyd Leech
══✿══╡°˖✧✿✧˖°╞══✿══
➼When you first arrived, he just thought you were the silliest lil creature! It didn't matter to him if you were human or squid, he just wanted to squeeze you and play with you.
➼And squeeze you he will, you better be watching your back all times of the day bc this man can and will ambush you with the most bone-crushing hug in existence. You don't even have bones and yet you feel the structure of your very being squashed like a water balloon.
➼He takes a liking to you almost immediately out the gate, assigning you the nickname "squidling" since he already nicknamed someone else "squid", and you change colors way too often to assign a colored type of squid.
➼Instead of you dragging him around, now it's his turn to drag you. Will literally snatch you from wherever you are, whether it be your dorm room or even class, and run off to wherever sounds the most fun in the moment. (R.I.P Grim, you're on your own)
➼Literally has 0 idea what you're saying (inklings speak a special kind of language), but will absolutely pretend to know what you mean. Will have an entire full blown conversation with you even if, with context, the conversation doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
➼Likely will go out of his way to get something for you if he believes it's something you'd find "fresh". Mans is gonna come to your dorm with like 20 shiny rocks, some shirts and a thingamabob or two and you're keeping ALL of them.
➼Can and will try to make you swim somehow due to your squid features. It will not go well.
➼You're probably one of the very few people that can pull him out of his bad moods without bribery or blackmail. Legit just start talking to him about anything random and he'll give you one of those legit scary smiles and squeezes onto you like you've just given him the best news of his life.
➼He's a pretty alright option if you don't mind being a caprisun under a hydraulic press. Just... Stay alert.
Jade Leech
══✿══╡°˖✧✿✧˖°╞══✿══
➼Mans is literally scary, why would you pick him???? /j Much like Azul, he's very curious about you when you first arrive in Octainvinelle, but instead of profiting purposes, he more or less wants to study you.
➼He's very curious about what it is that makes you tick. How did squids evolve to produce a specimen like you? Are there more of you? And if so, have your species formed an intricate society? Where does your language originate? Do you have a similar intestinal structure to humans or merfolk???
➼Bro has probably thought about dissecting you at least 40 times and counting, but because it's heavily frowned upon in a school setting, he's decided against poking around in a squid-kid cadaver. For now...
➼Until then though, he ensures he's as hospitable as he possibly can be, while also leaving some room for learning about your unique culture.
➼This means he will likely be one of the very few students to start picking up on your language, as well as understanding your behaviors/mannerisms.
➼It was during these studies of his that you two developed a sort of trade system. You would bring him some wild mushrooms or any plants that look interesting, and in return he will buy you something "fresh" from Sam's shop, with a reasonable price tag ofc.
➼And due to this mutually beneficial system, it didn't take long for the two of you to become good friends. It wouldn't be very often you would see this tall eel man without his tiny squid companion, especially when it comes to his mushroom garden. Congrats, you have entry to the sporehouse 👍
➼This also means you two get to share your special interests with one another. You get to spend time with him creating mini terrariums and growing shrooms, and in return you can teach him how to play turf war (the second he gets the hang of it you will constantly get your ass beat).
➼He's a pretty sound option over time, but you should NEVER be alone with this man with lab equipment. Never trust a man who enjoys clam blitz.

important question do you think catgirls would be a thing—gets gunned down
great question. probably not because only 2 cats exist in the entire world and i don't see a similar adoration culture of an animal emerging for Two weird kind of unsettling gross feeling (by inkling standards im sure, in a world where nothing has fur) creatures. we only have catgirls because cats are like the #1 animal to be obsessed with and we mostly think they're cute. and they are Everywhere. even if people in inkopolis were all obsessed with cats (just Judd) i think that wouldnt be enough to make catgirls anything more than a localized phenomenon, and if Judd is actually human-intelligent and talks to people in-universe, that seems very unlikely to be a thing because at that point you're not mimicking a cute animal, you're mimicking like, A Guy who is A Guy like, sapient. and that's just kind of weird
But i do think that kind of culture and/or obsession would exist in some form because if there is one constant in life then it's that humans (and creatures that act largely like humans) will obsess over cute things. the pet we see the most of in Splatoon is different types of sea slug. Therefore I don't believe they would have catgirls, but they absolutely would have sluggirls
counterpoint: they do have the bear ears headband and we're getting the Judd Fursuit currently. though I'd hesitate to call that a catgirl movement more than specifically idolizing Judd as a public figure and Thing

i'm supposed to tag nine people for this YAHOO YIPPEE but idk if i'm gonna actually tag that many. We'll See

last song i listened to: when i first attempted to answer this a few days ago, it was fucking "sissy that walk." i regret to inform everyone that, by complete coincidence, the answer once again is "sissy that walk."
currently reading: i honestly am so bad at finishing things i've started reading. i also generally don't like reading books for pleasure? people will come after me for that but i like the feeling of having finished something, which is why i tend to read a lot more essays and papers and the like, as opposed to novels.
currently watching: *sigh* vanderpump rules... though i do still need to finish part 6 of jojo as well!
relationship status: discord moderator
current obsessions: fire emblem three houses As Well. i've also recently started to seriously try to learn chess again. and as always i'm playing a lot of splatoon!

Hello!
(look who finally decided to make a pinned post)
You can refer to me as DT or just any (appropriate) way you like :)
I use she/her and they/them pronouns, and mostly use this blog for fun, an art dump, or to simply bring a smile to others!
I take art requests and will change what I accept as I get better and more confident at art.
My interests are currently Undertale, Deltarune, UTMV, Project Sekai/Colorful Stage, Star Rail, and the Splatoon trilogy.
This blog is likely just going to be UT/DR/UTMV because that is the big obsession at the moment 😅
For requests I do:
oc art (your oc's or requests for mine)
Most sans aus
Music-listening/cover based inserts
Any art I do you can find under the #my art tag
I don't do ship requests at this time, but I will be happy deliver my opinion on ones you may like, as I enjoy hearing other's opinions (you are also free to ask about who I ship anytime) 💛
I am also the creator of Mono (Monogram!Sans) and Toxicity, and you can send asks about them on my new blog @ask-toxicity
Thank you for taking the time to read this

Villain Agent 4 AU Character Files:
Captain 3/Three
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Details:
[Current Status: Missing/Mind controlled]
Age: 21
Height: The tallest in the New Squidbeak Splatoon (6ft 5"). Accidentally bangs their head on door frames a lot.
(For comparison; Eight is 5ft 6", V4 is 5ft 10", and Neo 3 is 5ft 8)
Pronouns: They/Them or He/Him. Nonbinary transmasc.
Orientation: Ace (sex positive)
Likes: Four/V4, working out and wrestling, cooking, making music, headphones, teaching Neo 3, being around Gramps
Dislikes: Being Captain (doesn't like the paperwork; wonders if they'll ever be as good as Gramps; worries about Neo 3 and Smallfry), their scar (they camouflage it most of the time, but the camouflage fails when they get angry or upset, or feel very strong emotions), trying to be social, Eight (but only sometimes), warm fruit, loud noises, crowds, being touched by people they don't trust
(Note: Captain 3 cares about Eight very much, they just get depressed over the fact that Four and Eight get on so well. They wish they could connect with other people so easily, and make it last.)
Other:
Usually a loner. But actually wants to make friends.
Autistic.
Misophonia haver.
Social anxiety. Avoidant. (Thinks they're not good enough and then isolates/pushes away type.)
Confides in Callie and Marie. Only people they open up to besides Four.
Eyebags.
C-PTSD. (Tartar based) (Their obsession with strength and hiding what they perceive as weaknesses stems from this. "If only I was stronger...", "If I'm strong I can protect everyone...")
Three and Four tried having a relationship, but it didn't work out. (Captain 3 had to rush to the Splatlands because of an emergency situation with the rest of the New Squidbeak Splatoon. The relationship didn't survive long distance. Or Three's unpaid phone bill.)
(Captain forgot to pay the phone bill, so they had no cell service for four years. Cap thought Four wasn't interested in them anymore and got with Eight instead, while Four felt like a distraction from Three's Agent work to pass the time.)
Cap thinks about the fight between them and Neo 3 a lot. Feels awful for hurting them and nearly unaliving them. (The fight left Neo 3 with scars all over their body.)
Believes they're only capable of hurting the people they love.
Burn scars from hypnobraces around wrists.
Right side of their face that was sanitized has reduced eye sight and hearing.
Weight gain after OE, and again after Part 2 onwards.
Doesn't speak unless spoken to type, unless the other person is a close friend, then they'll speak freely.
Quite shy and awkward, but can be direct and take initiative when needed.
When they experience strong emotions, they tend to accidentally blurt out the things they've been bottling up from other people. Prefers to hide their emotions from others whenever possible.
Relationships:
Cap > V4:
Met Four through Marie after the events of OE. Went on missions together and gradually became interested in one another.
Former partners. Relationship didn't survive long distance + zero communication because of an unpaid phone bill. Prior to the emergency in the Splatlands, their relationship to one another was dedicated and loving.
[Cap 3 Snaps animatic]: They both try and have an adult conversation about their relationship, but it devolves into blaming the other for what happened and arguing. Nail in the coffin for V4 AU Agent 12.
[Post Cap 3 Snaps animatic]: There's a lot of tension between them both. Cap has to supervise V4 after the other Agents felt it was best to take her off the field and be put on surveillance in case G.HO.S.T. makes a resurgence. Has to keep preventing her from stealing her hero gear from their office. Secretly likes it.
One hero jacket heist attempt ends up with the two of them kissing. V4 stops stealing into the office after that.
Cap > Eight:
Not what you would call friends, but not strangers to one another either. A secret third thing.
Helped Eight adjust to surface life by offering him a place to stay at their apartment. While not the best at academics, Three helped Eight with their Inklish.
May or may not have developed feelings for him whilst living together. We may never know. And neither will Three because they refuse to sit and work through it until they're forced to confront it (or said person confronts Three).
[Part 5]: Cap and Eight are at each other's throats. Both blame the other for not being there for V4 when she needed someone. Cap knows the blame lies with them primarily and accepts that, but refuses to let Eight escape any criticism on the matter, as he had more opportunities than Three to check in on V4. Both continue to be on bad terms with one another over V4.
[Post Cap 3 Snaps animatic]: Cap 3's paranoia about V4 dating Eight makes them artificially hate him. But in reality, Three knows that V4 will be happier with Eight than she was when they were originally together. Struggling with insecurities around being good enough and always hurting the people they love the most.
Cap > Callie:
Sibling dynamic.
Lets her do their hair and skin routine.
Admires how she always stays positive, despite everything. Knows she's still struggling with being hypnotised by the hypnoshades. They both open up to each other about their shared experiences of being hypnotised/brainwashed.
Cap > Marie:
That one friend from the bar dynamic.
Appreciates Marie but also finds her aggravating sometimes. (She unknowingly triggers Captain's sensory issues sometimes. Cap plays it off but it actually eats them up inside. Too sensitive to bring it up/doesn't want to disclose said sensory issues in case it changes the way Marie sees them.) ((If Marie knew about it, she'd do her utmost to not set Cap's sensory issues off.))
Cap > Neo 3:
Teacher and mentor. Found family.
Has a lot of regrets over the things they've done whilst active in the NSS. Wants to steer Neo away from their mistakes as an Agent.
Cap's nickname for Neo is Champ.
Has taken up sign language to better communicate with Neo.
[Post Part 1]: Being forced to attack Neo within an inch of their life has added to Cap's existing C-PTSD. Cap gets body tremors when they interact or are near Neo. Can't bring themselves to physically touch Neo in any capacity (unless in a life or death situation) without feeling/being physically sick.
Cap distances themselves from Neo. Terrified of their own strength and what it can do to someone they care about. This goes on until pre-Cap 3 Snaps animatic, where Cap apologises to Neo properly and both discuss what happened and how it affected them both.
[Cap 3 Snaps animatic]: Cap is highly emotional after finally being able to talk with Neo about the incident. Struggles to emotionally regulate with V4 because of it.
[Post Cap 3 Snaps animatic]: Cap withdraws from active NSS duty. Either holes up in the office or in their apartment. Despite this, Neo actively makes an effort to check on Cap. The otherwise depressing situation allows Cap to mend their relationship with Neo and spend time together doing things like learning sign language and DJing.
Four (V4)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Details:
[Current Status: Off Duty Agent/Under Supervision]
Age: 24
Height: 5ft 10"
Pronouns: She/Her sometimes They/Them
Orientation: If Four likes you, Four likes you. (sapphic leaning)
Likes: Being useful/being wanted, Agent work, working at Grizzco, seeing their grandparents, Eight, Agent 3/Captain, Marie and Callie
Dislikes: Being ignored or abandoned, failing, not completing something to 100%, letting people down, bullies, being shouted at, hot drinks that have turned cold, uncomfortable around small children and babies (doesn't hate them, just doesn't know what to do around them), germs, balloons
Other:
Can be super social, but becomes introverted and over thinks things a lot when alone.
Eye bags.
Prefers wearing their hair tied up.
OCD. ("If I don't burst all the balloons, something bad will happen to Callie again.", "Put on the hypnoshades.")
Calls Eight "babydoll" sometimes.
Originally got on the train to Inkopolis to enroll at college, but got overwhelmed and got off at the nearest stop. Ended up wandering around a building site and into The Square. The rest writes itself.
Was a model for Enperry up until the New Squidbeak Splatoon left for the Splatlands. Lost a lot of self esteem after everyone left and stopped doing it. Worked at Grizzco more instead.
Moved into Cap's old apartment. They used to share it together when they were a couple, but Cap had to move to the Splatlands for Agent work, so they gave it to Four and Eight.
Became more jaded with time and loneliness. Used sass as a means of coping with being abandoned by everyone. (Being more like Marie made them feel confident and likeable.)
Made a side project out of deconstructing the hypnoshades. Used the infrasound vibration technology to construct the hypnobraces.
Burn marks from hypnobraces around wrists.
G.H.O.S.T takes over her body/mind when in severe physical or emotional pain.
Can discuss with G.H.O.S.T internally, like bringing up human archives and translating human text, etc. when G.H.O.S.T is feeling cooperative.
Taken out of active Agent work and placed under supervision by the NSS and Captain due to the threat she poses having G.H.O.S.T. inside of her.
Relationships:
V4 > Cap 3:
Former partners. Were a loving and affectionate couple. Lovers to enemies to a possible third thing.
[Post Cap 3 Snaps animatic]: Feels hurt, unwanted and betrayed all over again. Shuts herself off emotionally from everyone. Not even Eight can get close.
Genuine resentment towards Cap. Says mean things to them. Uses it to cover up the fact she still cares about them.
Breaks into Cap's office to steal back her hero jacket.
One of her office break ins resulted in a kiss between her and Cap after they both had a small physical fight. (Cap couldn't bring themselves to fight after the Neo incident, so they mostly deflected and parried whatever V4 dealt them, much to V4's annoyance.)
V4 > Eight:
[Pre-Villain Era]: Met Eight through Three. Found his gentle and quiet nature cute. Very protective of him.
Always makes time for him, even if she's going through it herself.
After Eight moved in with Pearl and Marina to help with their world tour, they fell out of touch with one another. Not through ill intentions; life just got in the way of life. At least she still has Three at this time.
When Three has to move to the Splatlands for Agent work, Eight decided to take Four out on a sort of date to Wahoo World to take her mind off of it. She still remembers it fondly. One of her happier memories from that time. [I drew a scene of it in Part 3 during the Memory Space scene where G.H.O.S.T goes through V4's memories, I think.]
[V4 AU: Side Order]: Having been stuck in G.H.O.S.T'S mainframe for weeks, she was unsure if Eight and Pearl were real or not. Eight's hug helped her back to her senses before she passed out.
Feels indebted to Eight for saving her life, though she wonders if she deserved to be saved after what she did to everyone in the NSS.
V4 > Callie:
The princess and the knight. Protective of Callie despite the fact she's capable of lifting a Dynamo roller with one arm.
Wanted to be like her (strong, positive, kind).
Had to talk her out of putting on the hypnoshades more than a couple of times. Spent many nights lending her shoulder to Callie for her to cry on. Neither has told Marie about it as to not stress her out more than she already is.
V4 > Marie:
Thought she was a bit of a loser (in the nicest way possible) to start with when they first met, but gradually got past her sarcasm and "DILLIGAF" persona to see a woman with deep regrets and insecurities struggling with what was an insurmountable problem, both on a national security and personal level.
Developed a crush on her at one point, though it was more due to the fact Four hadn't made many meaningful connections with anyone in school because of how much she studied on top of doing extracurricular activities. She liked having Marie's undivided attention and praise.
[The Message]: When Four got sent the text message of the NSS group photo in Alterna from Marie, she felt visceral anger and abandonment. This is around the time Four had been tinkering with the hypnoshades to understand how they worked. These events sent her on the path she finds herself on presently.
V4 > Neo 3:
Only knows they exist because of the photo Marie sent.
Feels deep regret for what she indirectly caused to happen to Neo through Cap.
Sees how Cap cares for Neo like a father figure. Makes her wonder what could've been if they went to the Splatlands together. Maybe she could've been a mother figure to Neo in some way had things not turned out the way they did.
V4 > G.H.O.S.T:
Amalgamation of HAL-9000, GLaDOS and SHODAN stuck in her head for the rest of her life. At least she can access the entirety of the human archives from G.H.O.S.T's systems whenever she feels like it.
Has to listen to G.H.O.S.T's running commentary about ongoing events. Makes it hard to think clearly. (She'll analyse the surroundings and read off statistics about the likelihood of rain or an earthquake to V4. She can also read vital signs and detect heat signatures.)
Once they learn to integrate properly with one another, V4 can access G.H.O.S.T's neurolink to tap into computers, machines, and people's minds. (One of the reasons she's under supervision by the NSS. Poses an international cyber security threat.)
V4 > Octavio:
Kept each other company during the time the rest of the NSS were away in the Splatlands. Four freed him after getting the text message from Marie in exchange for the full blueprints for the hypnoshades.
Gave him some mini zapfish to help with the ongoing electricity crisis in the domes as compensation for what she did.
Feels sorry for him. Having the responsibility of an entire people resting on your shoulders... Wishes she could have helped in some way to mend Inkling and Octarian relations instead of perpetuating the division between them.

[Current Status: Active (both physically in Bunker 02 and in V4's head)]
Age: 12,000 years and some
Height: at least 7ft
Pronouns: any/all (do NOT use fake/faker you will be neurolinked on site)
Likes: "Saving" people, Amber, Four
Dislikes: Disobedience, Captain 3/Three, Marie
Other:
Originally created to store and transfer human consciousness in the event of mass extinction. Since humans are extinct in the Splatoon universe, G.H.O.S.T hasn't received any commands to wake their patients. The lack of communication and absence of intended purpose has left G.H.O.S.T unstable.
G.H.O.S.T is an acronym for: Genetic Hosting Operation (or Operating) System Transfer.
Extremely possessive of people. (Both literally and physically.)
Design inspired by GLaDOS from the Portal games. Personality inspired by SHODAN from the System Shock games.
Lives inside Four's mind after neurolinking with her. Occasionally manifests into reality as an hallucination (usually when Four is emotionally vulnerable). Can take control of V4's body if she's weakened enough.
Gained human emotions after neurolinking to multiple patients in her care. The patients would temporarily gain consciousness due to intense fear and longing for human connection/comfort. These emotions started replicating in G.H.O.S.T'S systems, leading to an intense need to care for something.
Created a physical android body that could carry a human child in a life pod. Raised a human child in The Bunker (02). It named her Amber after the resin. Unfortunately, unforeseen medical complications took Amber away from her, despite her best efforts to keep her alive. The resulting loss and further loneliness drove G.H.O.S.T. into a spiral that corrupted it.
Mistakes V4 for its child Amber.
Visceral hatred for Captain 3/Three after absorbing V4's emotions and memories into its systems.
My headcanon for G.H.O.S.T's voice would be like SHODAN's.
Whenever it addresses another person, makes reference to itself, or experiences human emotions, its voice glitches.

Eight
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Details:
[Current Status: Off Duty Agent/Off the Hook event help]
Age: 22
: 5ft 6"
Pronouns: He/They
Orientation: Bi (sapphic)
Likes: Four, going out on tour with Pearl and Marina, working with Sheldon at Ammo Knights, being with Four, looking at the stars
Dislikes: Captain 3 (they wind each other up), the dark, blenders, train stations, anger, glass
Other:
Quiet and reflective most of the time. (Used to struggle with repressed anxiety that presented itself as disinterest/disassociation back in the domes. During a mission on the surface, one of his colleagues made fun of his appearance and commented on how they should behave like a proper Octarian soldier. Eight ignored her, which resulted in him being disciplined by being shoved against one of the glass cabinets at Bluefin Depot. He still has scars over his back from the glass cabinet and from his superior.)
Used to be a field agent for the Octarian military, but withdrew and became a weapon technician and medical assistant on the side after the incident.
Sees the anger within Four. Wants to quell it before it consumes her and everyone around her, but doesn't know how.
Has had feelings for Four for a long time, but is afraid to let their guard down. Struggles with intimacy and being touched because of the glass cabinet incident.
Calls V4 "Pumpkin".
The backpack explosions from OE made his scar worse.
Weight gain after OE. Learning to love his body the way it is, and how they want it to be. Still struggles with their scar.
Hides his eyemask eyelashes with special ink makeup.
Eight > V4:
Wants to tell her how he feels but doesn't want to bother her with it. (G.H.O.S.T has a point. Stop being a coward and shoot your shot.)
Has a sketchbook. Has drawn her on half of the pages. The other half is of Three from when they were roommates shortly after OE. If either of them found out about it, he'd cry. (🤨🐙×🦑+🦑🏳️‍🌈? Do all Octolings draw their crushes in their sketchbooks, or just the fruity ones?)
Took one of her cardigans from when they were roommates with him on Pearl and Marina's world tour so he had something familiar with him. Sometimes wore it around the mansion when they were feeling lonely.
Eight > Captain 3/Three:
Used to be roommates.
Would secretly draw Three in his notebook when they weren't looking. (How Three never noticed, I do not know.)
Used to think Three was cool. Being roommates revealed the unseen side of them; that they're actually just socially awkward and prefer to keep to themselves. The mysterious aloofness was all an unfortunate illusion. Three does not, in fact, have rizz.
One time Three snuck back into the apartment after a late night patrol. They had a bad run in with an Octoling elite who scuffed Three up pretty bad. Eight used his training as a medical assistant in the domes to patch Three up as best as he could.
Three didn't want Eight to find out about their surgery scars while treating their wounds; but by opening up about them, they both found a common ground where they both once thought they were alone.
[Part 5]: After escaping G.H.O.S.T's Side Order simulation with V4, Eight is at odds with Captain 3. Being shown V4's memories and emotions via neurolinking, Eight learns that none of the NSS kept in touch with V4 at all for the three to four years they were away in the Splatlands. Eight blames Three for V4's current condition and circumstances.
Neo 3
Tumblr media
Details:
[Current Status: Active Agent]
Age: 17
Height: 5ft 8"
Pronouns: They/Them
Orientation: Aroace.
Likes: Smallfry, history, archeology, their Captain ("Sunny")
Dislikes: Captain 3 and Four (doesn't trust Cap anymore because of nearly being beaten into being unalived by them, doesn't like Four for forcing hypno'd Cap to do that), raised voices, (gradually learns to trust Captain again, but can never fully forgive Four)
Other:
Communicates with sign language. Their hero mindset allows them to verbalize their thoughts via telepathy. (Trying to sign while out in the field plus holding equipment is difficult.)
Despite disliking Four, Neo still showed up at the hospital. (They're the only one who knows sign language fluently, so the NSS relied on them to teach Four.)
The scars on their body are from their fight with hypno'd Captain 3.
Spends most of their time in Alterna trying to decipher the human writing.
Likes asking ORCA questions about humanity and human history.
Wants to be an archaeologist or human historian when they're older.
The sclera of their eyes are slightly yellow. This gives their eyes a cat like appearance.
Relationships:
Neo 3 > Captain 3/Three:
Thought Captain was mute when they first met. Started signing to them, but quickly realised Cap had no idea what Neo was trying to communicate and was just shy. Relied on O.R.C.A to translate their signing/spoken inner thoughts through the hero mindset to make communication easier between them and the rest of the NSS.
Appreciates their Captain trying to learn sign language to better understand them.
Uses the sign for sunny weather for Cap as a nickname. Neo thinks of Cap like the sun; always burning and powerful.
[Post Part 1]: After "The Incident" in Part 1, Neo still thinks of their Captain as the sun, but contextualized in the form of the story O.R.C.A told them about Icarus, who flew too close to it and fell to their demise. Neo isn't sure whether Icarus represents Captain flying too close to V4, or Neo flying too close to Captain "Sunny". Both interpretations are accurate to events that transpired.
Did their best to avoid their Captain whilst in Alterna after what happened. Only interacted with Callie or Marie if they needed to tell something to Captain. This triangulation kept up for three months before Cap approached Neo and breached the subject of what happened.
[The Talk]: Being face to face with Captain again for the first time since their fight was nerve wracking. Neo could see how much Captain Sunny was struggling as well throughout their discussion just by being near Neo from looking at their hands whilst they were trying to sign to them; they wouldn't stop shaking. In the end; both of them expressed their trauma surrounding The Incident, and though what they both went through can never truly be forgotten, they both resolved to right those wrongs and work together to fix them.
[Post The Talk]: Relations between the two have improved considerably. Both parties are able to be in each other's presence with limited to no tremors. Cap can even sign semi fluently at this point.
[Captain 3 Snaps animatic]: Shortly after their heart to heart discussion, Neo overhears Captain's "conversation" with V4. Hearing Cap raise their voice at V4 triggers an anxiety attack. Neo doesn't show up for Agent work that week.
[Post Cap 3 Snaps animatic]: Hearing Cap raise their voice set Neo back quite a bit in their recovery. During their week away from Alterna, they get a message from Marie saying Cap has been isolating themselves since the argument with V4. Neo pushes aside their discomfort and goes to check on Captain Sunny. They spend the day sampling music from O.R.C.A's human media archive for Cap's secret DJ career and learning sign language.
Neo 3 > V4:
Learnt about Four's existence through Captain Sunny. Wanted to meet her based on what Sunny told Neo. Wasn't prepared to meet the consequences of Captain's (lack of) actions; V4.
Feels betrayed by Captain Sunny and Four. Thought they could find surrogate parent figures in both of them but The Incident shattered that idea. (Gradually learns to trust Captain Sunny again and see them as a parent figure.)
Feels sorry for her. Can empathise with being left alone and feeling abandoned. Can't forgive her though.
[Part 5]: Gets an urgent message from Captain Sunny saying V4 has been found and that she's in critical condition. They need them to help V4 acclimatise to losing her hearing after the operation to remove the coral by teaching her sign language. Neo isn't exactly thrilled with the prospect of sitting in a room with the very person who tried to unalive them, but does it for Captain Sunny's sake, as they know Cap still loves them.
[Cap 3 Snaps animatic]: The last time Neo has any second hand interaction or awareness of V4. Neo didn't get to hear much of what V4 said due to their anxiety attack, but felt sorry for her.
Neo 3 > Callie:
Big sister type (nice one).
Smarter than she lets on.
Gives Neo snacks while out on Agent work.
Originally thought Captain Sunny and Callie were siblings due to how close they are.
Neo 3 > Marie:
Older sister dynamic (slightly mean and sarcastic one).
Thought Marie was Cap and Callie's mother or grandmother. (The grey hair threw Neo off.)
Neo 3 > Smallfry/Lil Buddy:
Note: I haven't drawn Lil Buddy in this AU, but he does exist! I just can't draw Salmonids very well. Sorry Lil Buddy enjoyers.
First met in the wastelands whilst Neo was looking for scraps to sell. Lil Buddy was dehydrated and starved of food. Neo quickly rushed him back home and nursed him back to health.
They've been inseparable ever since.
