Strorberrysquid - Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!

Tbh I would've loved splatoon island as a game, I wanna marry an inkling :(

I wanna remind people who are new to Splatoon that this same exact thing happened in every single Splatoon game so far.

When Splatoon 1 came out, Marie was seen as the cool one, and Callie was the stupid goofy one. As such Marie was the fan favorite and more often than not she won a lot of Splatfests in a row. No matter the theme.

It took a while, but gradually people came to appreciate Callie quite a bit. And because she was so popular, she became the catalyst for the upcoming Splatoon 2 single player storyline.

Then when Splatoon 2 came out, Pearl was seen as a creepy little gremlin and Marina was the hot sexy one. So naturally, Marina was the fan favorite and more often than not she won a lot of Splatfests in a row. No matter the theme.

It took a while, but gradually people came to appreciate Pearl, and by the end of the game’s life they were seen as equals. To the extent that in the final Splatfest… Pearl won!

Now we are seeing the same thing happen between Frye and Shiver. Shiver is the cool one, and Frye is the creepy little gremlin. Big Man is… there.

I get being frustrated, but please stick with the game. It will even out, I swear. And I know because I’ve been through this. Multiple times. Through almost a decade of my life.

It’s been 1 year. This game is going to be going strong for many more to come. Shiver won’t stay dominant forever. The Splatfests will get more refined and tweaked to make them fairer. The DLC might shake things up too (a lot of people really came to appreciate Pearl after the Octo-expansion).

Just relax and remember.. we’ve been here before. We’ll be there again. It’s okay. It’s just a video game. Enjoy it for what it is. Please.

I've rarely seen a more validating sentence in my entire life.
