Splatoon Ink Headcannons

Hey yall! Some of the main assumptions that I make in this post are related to the Splatoon Manga, which is level 2 cannon. Read with skepticism!

Low tide ink

Low tide ink is unique in that it cannot splat an ink based creature, but it can still ink turf normally.

It is often used in specialty organised turf wars among children and sick/disabled cephalopods. They sometimes have issues respawning correctly, so the concept of splatting is removed from the game.

Using low tide ink does not require an ink tank, as it is a low enough density to be exclusively made in the ink sack.

It is often used as bath water, because of it's harmlessness.

High tide ink

As high tide ink is very dangerous, its transport and possession is heavily controlled by the government.

It is considered highly dangerous due to the fact that it permanently kills both ink based and non ink based creatures.

Used by the Military, Police, Assassins, and The Squidbeak Splatoon.

It must be kept in special containers that look a little bit like soy sauce sachets.

Normal weapons cannot use high tide ink, special weapons must be acquired. These weapons look more like modern day weapons.

Other headcannons

High tide ink is produced by compressing normal ink and scraping off the top layer of impurities. This process is repeated 5 to 6 times.

Ink based creatures are able to change their own ink colour. Some especially skilled cephalopods can change their tentacle patterns. It makes for a great party trick!

Did anyone see the way Lapis reacted to those chains?

How when they came towards her, she just... froze? The almost adrenaline-fueled reaction? The metaphor of “opening the floodgates”? The projection of her trauma onto the situation (who’s pitiful now)?

Maybe she hasn’t healed as well as she thinks...

Everybody on this show needs therapy, y’all.

Where is Jasper?

So in Steven Universe: the Movie, Jasper isn't shown or even mentioned once. I have a few theories about her possible location.

She may be on a sort of pilgrimage, around Earth or the galaxies nearby. Maybe she's trying to find a place to call home, or maybe she's just thinking and recovering from her trauma, both from Lapis and the Gem War.

She may be on homeworld. I think that this is somewhat unlikely, given her anger at her situation in general, but she could be under the command of the Diamonds again. She would probably be recieving some sort of therapy.

She may be living in Little Homeworld. She would likely be working, either building or something else to keep her mind off all the crazy stuff happening.

Finally, she may be in prison. This is unlikely, but it would make sense. The diamonds would likely adopt laws similar to Earth's. Many of the things she did while pursuing Steven would be considered illegal, so she may be incarcerated due to this.

If you have any other theories I can add, please let me know!

I wouldn’t take any chances either

I REWATCHED A TALE OF TWO STANS AND I SAW THIS. IVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE POINT THIS OUT WTH

ASD Brains be Like - Snicker Knife

I was walking, you know, like a normal human being, and somehow my brain made a series of connections that resulted in me thinking “could you murder somembody with a snickers bar?”.

I now know, thanks to 20 minutes of contemplation, how to kill somebody with a snickers bar.

Place the snickers in your refrigerator to make sure that they're solid, but not too hard.

Remove from fridge and quickly slice off parts of the bar to create a wedge, point or blade, whichever works.

Quickly place bar in freezer to avoid melting, and to solidify/harden it.

Use when ready

The only issue I could think of is if the target runs, you will no longer have a knife, but you will have a snickers bar so you can apologise for trying to kill them. Nut allergies give a +7 to damage

Also, to dispose of the evidence, eat your weapon. It won’t be as nice as a normal snickers bar, cos it's covered in blood, but I’m sure you can make do. You’re on the run from the law now after all. Why did you do this, idiot? Why?

Thank you for coming to my ted talk

Glitchy Steven in honor of the last Stevenbomb. I'm probably gonna aim to draw one scene for each of the final bombs.

It's school time. My endorphins have swam off, my melatonin has become too mellow for its own good, and my dopamine is smoking dope in the corner.
