omg there's a halfwall to the front right of the big run egg basket that grillers and glowflies can't get on. they can't touch you. you're invincible on that wall
since the next big run is (checks notes) happening i wanted to post the oc i came up with during the last one based on the splashtag i had at the time
they're inkblot's weirdass kind of shitty principal. very enthusiastic about art and teaching it, very impossible to know what's going on in their head at any given moment. tuition prices fluctuate with its mood. they spend most of their time looming at their office window watching turf matches as if they have some sort of evil plan coming to fruition (they don't.) the school board isn't sure what its deal is and at this point they're too afraid to ask.
the inkblot big run was a hostage situation (they were stuck in their office) but really they think they gained a better understanding of "the untapped artistic talents of salmonkind" through it. and also the insurance payout was bonkers. they had a great time. the salmonids were their favorite students. they miss the salmonids.
Idk how crazy of an ask this is but what about the textures from the paintings/drawings from Inkblot?
There seem to be a few that are in the buildings surrounding the inkable area
i couldnt tell what was posters and what was art. so heres everything relevant i could find (this is specifically from splatoon 3, the map was in 2, but im tired)
Excerpt from interview with three members of Red Flare District, Inkopolis News Network; 4 April 122023:
Q: Let's... uh, talk a little bit about this latest single of yours, Alma Mat 'Er; Barely Knew 'Er. Considering you are — or at least two of you present are — alumni of Inkbl-
Deryn (she/her, presumed), bassist: [incoherent]
Q: Pardon?
St. Tuna Piano (he/him), frontman & drummer: Didya bring 'er meds, Hiddock?
Hiddock (he/him), guitarist: Forgot.
Q: What inspired you to revisit your alma mater for inspiration?
Hiddock: Got another call from the haunted payphone.
St. Tuna Piano: No, i'was all that gnarly flood damage from that salmonid meet 'n greet last month! I mean, w're no stranger to writin' songs 'bout floods n'all, but the acoustics in those damaged classrooms are [expletive] wild, man.
Q: It doesn't seem to reflect much in the track itself.
Hiddock: Because those acoustics sucked so we left.
Deryn: [incoherent]
Q: Is she alright?
St. Tuna Piano: Oh yeah, Petr [referring instead to the band's absent vocalist, who reportedly "exploded"] is recoverin' just fine. Inkfish, man. All was left was a likkle green globule and now 'e'll be out next month!
Hurdock: It's suspicious, is what it is.
Deryn: [incoherent]
still thinking about what my life would've been like if I got that on-campus crisis counselor job.. I don't regret my decision turning it down or anything but I did really want the job and it would've been great being able to help people haha ;.;
As the event of the next upcoming Big Run gets closer we have a couple of things we’d like to remind you all of. Please do not cause anymore damage to the affected area than necessary. Although wahoo world was trashed last big run, the very rude graffiti and looted gift shops was not appreciated by the clean up crew. We are aware Inkblot Art Academy has somewhat of a reputation because “it’s full of pretentious rich douchebags” to quote an employee during a recent staff meeting. Please set aside your feelings and resist the urge to further the coming damage to the campus. Remember you have the company’s reputation to uphold! (PS searches are now mandatory before you are allowed to work a Big Run shift. Leave the spray paint at home please)
