Octo Types

Octo Types

So I noticed a few distinct different types of octoling in splatoon's lore and gameplay, and I thought would share my ideas about them with y’all. Here we go!

Type 1

These are the Octolings that you see in story mode. Their distinct features include:

Identical hair colour and outfits, basically clones

All female

Ink and Octo forms do not reflect hair.

Type 2

These Octolings are the playable ones. They have a much softer demeanour than Type 1, and have more variation.

Their entire tentacles change colour with their ink.

Their eyes appear very timid, but also calculating.

Their Octo forms reflect their ink and tentacle colour.

Type 3

Only two examples of this type exist, Marina Ida and Dedf1sh/Ahato. They have the most variation between individuals. The distinctive features present include:

Compentency with DJ equipment

Coloured fingertips

Tipped hair. In the case of marina, these tips change depending on her team colours.

What does this mean, anyway?

It could mean nothing, but the differences are so acute that it's unlikely to be meaningless. It could indicate different species, or a type of caste system (I.e. Type 3 work as Idols/remixers, Type 1 work as common soldiers).

Thanks for reading!

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.

Question for y’all

How would you feel about a Steven Universe high school au? It would be based off those promo drawings of the gems, but set in America rather than Japan. Let me know what you think.

Here are some of the drawings btw:

I got them off the wikia, in case you were wondering

Why Snowflake Obsidian will probably be a main/recurring character

Earlier this year, a member of the @stevencrewniverse accidentally leaked a turnaround/model sheet of Snowflake obsidian. From what I have seen, it seems likely that they will feature critically in the upcoming season of Steven Universe. Here is a list of reasons why:

An official model sheet. This may not seem like much, as even background characters have model sheets, but it was published on a blog with other important character's model sheets ( I.e. Holly blue's, emerald's).

Numerous appearances. Snowflake appears in Change Your Mind, but also features in Steven Universe: the Movie. She has been close on the camera angle both times.

Proximity to Bismuth. She is one of bismuth's friends, and as such we should at least see some interaction between the two.

Anyway, I could be wrong but I think it is probably an interesting thing to consider.

Hot Take

Steven is in hospital for emergency psychiatric treatment. If his mental state is really as bad as it seems, it's probably deteriorating at a pace where it is unlikely to be controlled without drastic intervention. He's having flashbacks, for God’s sake.

There are a number of reasons why a person can be hospitalised in this situation:

They require medication for their mental state, and need to be kept under observation to make sure there are no adverse effects

They are so unwell that they are unable to control their responses, and may be a danger to themselves or others

They may be suicidal or show suicidal tendencies

I feel like Rebecca wouldn’t go quite that far, but given that the latest leak that more or less involved Steven saying that he didn’t want to live anymore, I wouldn’t put it past her.

I was once hospitalised due to a mental health breakdown. I hated it, and I have trauma from the expirience. I only hope that Steven manages to avoid the worst of it.

Also... Why is he in a boat? It it the H.M.S Residual Trauma?
