Big Run - Tumblr Posts

a very normal rant about the up and coming grand festival big run

So...that's all you have to say, huh?

"Didn't they learn after we sent them packing in the BIG Big Run?" "What possessed the Salmonids to go after the big event?" "Let's remind those Salmonids that we take our fun SERIOUSLY!"

That's it? That's all you have to say? Did we learn anything, my siblings of roe? Are we possessed? Are we concerned about the fun times of the Inkfish?

The audacity, the insolence, the stupidity!

For a long time, we have been at war with you freaks of nature. It was simple territorial skirmishes, a small disagreement of cultures and walks of life. But no, you've gone too far. For YEARS now, you have been straying further and further into the ocean where you no longer belong, stealing our young, killing our troops, and disrespecting our species with these words of hate. It spreads like volcanic ash, catching up in the minds of impressionable young land-walkers to take up arms and attack.

Death was supposed to be honorable. It was a new adventure, another path through time. It was a rebirth, giving back to the Earth. It was respectable, but you monsters ruined it. Look at the war now! Warriors die without any name, without any respect. They are forgotten, their bodies un-consumable due to your weaponry meant for your ink sports. They are forgotten, because everybody who knew them were also slaughtered. Their memory shall not be carried onto their children, because they are dead. You killed them. Do you understand the cycle of life and death? Or do you monsters only know death?

You have ruined our way of life seven-thousand fold. You have crashed into the circle of life, breaking it in many pieces. You have stepped on our backs, treating us like lesser animals. You do not see that we are warriors, fighting upstream to keep life moving on. You only see our scales and teeth, frying pans and slimy ink. You only see profit from our unborn children, who you kidnap and kill by the millions in only a few days.

Your fun is nothing compared to your sins against us. Time will not remember your 'grand festival', and as the lights dim, it shall be lost to the sands of time. Time is unforgiving and violent in a subtle way. You will find yourself slowing down before it all fades to black. The past goes on forever, the future goes on forever, and the present is nowhere in the straight everlasting line. Your festival is meaningless indeed, because nobody will remember it.

But now, we shall remember your sins. Your past, present, and future lay in our fins, and we shall not hold it gently. You have broken us beyond repair, and we will return the favor. Buildings will be crushed, streets cut through, and bodies given back to Mother Earth, for she is hungry for fresh flesh who avoid her jaws. You may call us mad, and that is correct; we have gone mad, but so have you.

Listen as the drums pound, and your minds are filled with music of the culture you have alienated for far too long. The song tangles you in strings, cut with a bow. You will be blasted into oblivion by the horrors we have in store. It is not horror to us, because the true horror we face is you and your monster's sins. We are not afraid to be insane. We are not afraid of you.

promoting my yt channel!! I've been making a lot of salmon run based memes and content as of late. Says a lot doesn't it

GUYS I'M HOLDING A PREMIERE FOR A COOL LITTLE VIDEO I SOMEHOW MADE IN ONE SITTING REALLY REALLY REALLY WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU WOULD COME DOWN TO THE PREMIERE

how I feel thinking about this entire finalfest big run, steadily aiding in the possible extinction of the salmonids, knowing they're collectively a race that has nothing to give and everything to lose, having never asked for any of this, and possibly could've had peace as an option if they had the option of knowing how to speak a lick of inkling language:

damn i really should try and write down this really cool salmonid based campaign idea i've been cooking in my head for some time like please nintendo give us salmon people not salmon enemies

Splatoon salmonid rambles

Hi ok so big run (grand run?) just passed like yesterday or something and I had the most sickening idea for splatoon 4

I want the story mode to give salmonid lore. I want them to be treated like people. They are a society. They are conscious. They ARE people. But in the games they’re literally just “kill as many of those guys as u can and give me their eggs pls 🐻” which is fine I guess but…they canonically are people. They have culture and beliefs and traditions and music (the music that plays during Salmon Run is made by an in universe band called omega-3 (except the word “omega” is a symbol, probably the Omega symbol but I’m stupid so I wouldn’t know) like they are literally People.

And u might be asking urself “bee wtf does this have to do with a potential story mode for splatoon 4” and to that I say

The total amount of golden eggs gathered during this past Big Run was

1,535,611,351

(For anyone who struggles figuring out how much a big number actually Is, it’s Over one billion and a half. Lotsa eggs)

And I’m very proud of the community for getting that many! That’s really incredibly impressive!! Especially considering how the original quota was 700,000,000 (seven hundred million, also a very big number, but considerably smaller.)

What I want from the story mode of splatoon 4 is the ramifications of this. I want the salmonids to be allies. I want to see their societies, learn about them. I want them to be CHARACTERS, not just ENEMIES.

I think an interesting way to do this would be to have Grizzco be at the center of the evil happenings..again. But this time under the iron fist (paw) of Lil’ Judd. Because if u pay attention to detail, there are some things that possibly imply that Lil’ Judd is running Grizzco while Mr.Grizz is in space. Maybe Lil’ Judd, fueled by his superiority complex, tries to do what Mr.Grizz couldn’t, or maybe something even worse. Maybe Lil’ Judd doesn’t even care about mammals and inkfish and salmonids, he just wants to rule everything, have everlasting control. He doesn’t want to keep living in Judd’s shadow.

Anyways yeah I’ll stop rambling now. Sorry if this makes no sense lmao

Look what I made! Salmon Run themed prompts for October! Salmon Run is obviously my favorite game mode, and I want to dedicate October to it because I was honestly scared of it when I first played it. I would love to see some people follow this list because Salmonids are really cool!!

Day 10: Blackout

June 8th, 20XXX24, 2:08 AM. A vivid nightmare awakes one of Grizzco's hardest working (albeit most reckless) employees. Somebody is watching him. It always has been.

inspired by a really cool piece of fanart I saw on tumblr once upon a time

I got a bronze decoration from big Run when I passed the gold quota??? What?? The SHIT

Give me my GOLD

I worked HARD for THAT

ALL I COULD SEE WAS SALMON RUN WHEN I CLOSED MY EYES (/SRS)

Give me the GOLD
