Grand Festival Splatoon 3 - Tumblr Posts

WHO WAS GONNA TELL ME THERES A NEW TIDAL RUSH REMIX???

Omega-3 reacts to the Grand Festival announcement (I was waiting for something regarding a biggest run or something)

I made Grand Festival outfits for Omega-3!! If they are going to crash the party with their new song, they better do it in style (trying to mimic idol outfits but failing miserably) (the cellist has fucking lost it)

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.

Grand-tember day 1: Fav Idol

Big Man is the only idol i can tolerate lmao (but do you know who my fav idols are? OMEGA-3)

doing this challenge all traditional because it takes too long to do things digitally

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

Grandfest day 3 and day 4!! I totally did not forget to do day 3 lmao

I put Big Man in Marie's outfit because BIG MAN NEEDS A DRESS TO MATCH THE GIRLIES

And for the NPC, I decided to do Donna from the offline kids in Splatoon 2. I couldn't think of anybody else for some reason. I used to hate her with a burning passion (my character in 2 had her hairstyle). Don't worry I like her now (i haven't touched 2 in forever). I think she would be on team past.

thank you i'm very proud of it

I deeply apologise for my latest repost post that was very cringe worthy of me but yall have to agree the splatpost art of “now is all we have left” is sick af right?… right?!?

(Also the art im referring to is from @neomagicstar go follow em)

Day 5: Agents in fest! I don't have any normal agent ocs, so I just did two of the agents from my Human AU! Agent N3O and Agent S3V3N (or just Vironika and Tomodachi) are here repping team Future!!

I also tried a perspective, it failed miserably, you are welcome.

Day 6: Lil Buddy! I love my son so much his name is Emotional Support Buddy

Day 9: Team Past! Did this at school because I could teehee

From left to right: Coral, Lysa, Doug, and Cindy (she designed EVERYBODIES outfits, and I mean EVERYBODY).

For the next few days I'll be drawing my ocs and which team they are on.

Day 10: Team Present (GO TEAM PRESENT LETS GOOOO)

From left to right: Novel, Lee, The Specter, Shallow, and Haggy!

Novel is the only one who took liberties with her outfit. She thanks Cindy for the help, but she wanted to do her own thing. Haggy was also helping Cindy with costume design! She made her big hat herself.

The Specter is also here too. Lee wanted it to come to Grand Festival (security is NOT very tight) (and nobody really knows it was behind some of the shit that happened during Grand Run) (It's hiding it's face a bit just in case)

Day 11 (early because i can): Team Future

Characters (left to right): Sterling and Zerkylie

Sterling is absolutely SERVING right now just look at them. They do not give a fuck about how others perceive their outfit, they know they slay. Also Zerkylie's here too I guess. They brought the headphones just in case they get overwhelmed by the crowds.

They totally aren't going to try and break in backstage to play a bit of music for everybody (they fail miserably but still aren't kicked out)

I won my first 100x today, so to celebrate, I decided to draw my teammates. Shoutout to ACE, Peachy, and *SplaTre3*! You guys rule!!

Splatoon means art

Splatoon means a lot to me, it really does. I first heard about it from a close friend 1st to 2nd grade, and I loved the concept. Who wouldn't love a squid person who could shift in and out of kid to squid form, and would shoot paint out of a water gun? I didn't play the game at that time, and I lost interest after a bit, but it stuck.

Sooner than later, I got my hands on Splatoon 2, after the Splatpocalypse. I adored the game, even if I didn't have online at the time. I made many memories playing the hero mode. I remember running around trying to find all the sunken scrolls, hungrily eating up the lore like a madman. I eventually got online, and had a blast playing turf war. I then got my hands on the Octo Expansion, and that was probably one of the best things I've done. It was just so amazing to finally play through after a long time. I knew a lot of the lore because I went online to search for it. Then I ended up forgetting about the game in my infamous Sonic phase. One of my favorite memories playing Splatoon 2 was playing Salmon Run for the first time. The training scared me so bad, I avoided Grizzco at all costs, but eventually I decided to try it out, and after that, I've been a Salmonid lover forever.

I don't remember when I got Splatoon 3, most likely a Christmas a year or so ago, when we went up to Minnesota to visit family. Our switch didn't have much space for it, so we had to push the switch to add it in. I was very excited to play. But after a bit, I lost interest, going into my love of Warriors Cats once more. This is where the channel comes in, and I do a lot of Warriors stuff. I believe somewhere in February of this year, I had a dream about playing Splatoon 3 again, and so the next morning, I decided to try and force my switch to get the game running again. It took some pushing and pulling of data, but I got it to work, and I've been playing ever since. I've gone far down the rabbit hole of lore, analyzing as many things as I could to understand the story and it's themes.

This phase of loving Splatoon came to me while I was in a dark moment in my life. A longtime friendship was falling apart, and it did fall apart soon enough. Splatoon was able to get me through that, and it was a place I could escape to when life got rough. It's a world full of color and art, something that I love. I am an artist and a musician, a creative and a writer. I am LGBTQ+, and Splatoon is a safespace for all of those things.

Splatoon, at its core, is about art. It's about embracing yourself and seizing the moment, creating a mess just for the fun of it. You paint with all the colors of the rainbow, and you might end up saving the world because of it. This world is our own, far, far, far in the future. Splatoon is a warning against climate change and war, for humans are gone because of their own sins. It warns against total chaos and total order, and it's a warning against the evil systems that we as humans struggle under. The world of Splatoon is a world where you can escape from the pain of life into a silly game with humanoid squids and octopi who shoot each other with paint guns.

Salmon Run, and the Salmonids, have become a big interest of mine. The Salmonids are my comfort characters, and I find comfort in them by relating in some way. In real life, I'm quite unique compared to the uniformity of girls in my grade. I don't conform, I'm loud and proud, and I'm strange. Compared to the rest of the cast of Splatoon, the Salmonids are strange and don't conform to the norm. They have their own society and culture that is vastly different from everybody else. I get bullied every once and a while, and the Salmonids get exploited and mass murdered for their resources because others see them as animals and not people! Of course, that's a really big jump, but can't you see the contrast? I see myself in the Salmonids, which is why I love them very dearly. I want Nintendo to do more with them sometime. I want more of my comfort creatures.

The Grand Festival has been a roller coaster of emotions. I just finished crying over Daybreaker Anthem, and earlier, I was sobbing over Three Wishes. I'm really happy that I was able to experience such an event, and I'm looking forward to whatever Nintendo has next for the Splatoon series. I'm going to cherish these memories forever. No matter who wins, I want to wish all of you a good game. Past, present, future, we're all the same in the longevity of time. We're just a small piece in the vastness of history, so let's savor that small piece while we still have it, okay?

Shine on!

GRANDFEST
