Salmon Run Next Wave - Tumblr Posts

So far in Salmon Run, I have contributed 2,223 eggs by myself (the individual golden eggs on screen after a shift) before the 999,999,999 jumpscare despite after not playing for about a month and having slept in to 12 pm yesterday, and I think that's pretty cool of me.

hello tumblr once more

grand run has resulted in a total quota of 1.5B golden eggs!!

I've also beaten hazard level max too!!

and after a splitting headache...

I've found that I've gotten top 18% in grand run!!!! :]

Had a dream about splatoon 3’s big run last night it was kinda crazy.

It started out in completely normal Splatsville, but when my character walked up the stairs to enter the lobby the ground shook and a small kind of cutscene played.

The seven rings you see in the sunken scroll and Background of the trailer either rushed on screen or just appeared there (can’t quite remember) with black clouds/smoke forming around them as the sky turned red. Then the entire square area below the steps completely flooded with water.

It paused there for a sec before some kinda grizzco brand giant vacuum tube fell down and sucked up all the water out and then my player character landing in some weird floating hub where you get briefed on how big run works

guys we have fish polycule tomorrow

i guess i'm posting things now

anywhere here is a collection of omega-3 stuff I've made because they're my fav splatband and is the reason I have very negative emotions towards all the idols (except big man). Please Nintendo, put them in the game.

All of these are memes + my personal designs for the band members (also C-Side is here too I guess)

somebody was talking about how in the future we should have Omega-3 be like story mode antagonists like Deep Cut and I couldn't agree more. So Omega-3 but in Deep Cut's place teehee

also yeah i know my phone messed up 2/3 of the photos

guys i don't think the valiant green flame born in jigokudani knows whats going on

Where did we go wrong?

What happened that caused such a schism between us?

I call to you, my estranged sibling of the sea, to speak with you, converse in tongue in which we both understand. I wish you my greatest apologies for the actions me and my closest siblings have done, causing great rage and anguish between you and your closest family. We were blinded by the greed and madness of something beyond our control, who wanted to use us, then kill us all, just like we killed you. I understand finally, the turmoil we have caused, and can never forgive ourselves. Everybody is a victim, but you, oh dear you, are the first. Do not seek to forgive us, for we cannot be forgiven. All we may do is curse the monster that trapped us within our own boneless bodies, soon to be full of blood and bone by powers in which we never wanted to see come to light. We will die, just like you do. Nobody will be there to mourn us, bury us, even consume us. The Earth will not miss us, but, she will not miss the monster who did this to us either. Greed and pain will wash away like our ancestors washed away many years ago.

I beg for you, sibling of the sea, to at least give me a hug, and tell me that a single line of the split can be repaired.

That's the least me and you can do.

(i lost consciousness what the fuck just happened)

deviation from the normal stuff I post but I wanted to do this trend with my Splatoon OCs

from left to right: Coral, Lysa, Doug, Cindy

Their overworked Grizzco employees (it's Coral's thought he only does Salmon Run) (it's a lot deeper than that however but I'm not going to write a article on the lore)

holy shit guys??????

hELLO???

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.

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

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

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

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!

It's nice to hear that the show is coming along well. I hope ypu have fun out there.

But now, fish. Do you have any theories about the King Salmonids, like what they are or where they came from? I don't think I've seen any theories about their lore, and the canon lore is pretty minimal. But maybe that's a good thing because it leaves tons of room for speculation.

Unrelated, but I think the Salmonids are really competive when it comes to sports.

HIII AGIAN SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLY I FORGOT ABOUT THIS

FISH

I've tried my best to come up with reasons for why King's become Kings, and my explanation is really, really, really hard training. All Salmonids become their roles through their environments and their training. Lax training + steady environment doesn't breed good soldiers. I imagine the King Salmonids were picked at birth to undergo intense training to become Kings. I have this with my OC Haggy, who is a half trained Horrorboros who went blind in the middle of training. She comes from a family of Horrorboros's, so she has many eyes watching her as she goes through the training. She struggles because she has a unique condition which causes her to produce more explosive saliva than the rest of her family (i imagine that Horrorboros comes from Steelheads and Big Shots). She then goes blind due to a run in with some Grizzco employees, and she is so disheartened by it that she exiles herself as to not face criticism from her family.

Haggy is pretty much a good example. Kings go through non-stop training and conditioning to reach such forms, but throughout it, they are in pain. But, they keep driving forward, which is normal for Salmonids. They are here to defend their species and their future, and nothing but death will stop them.

As for the second statement, I agree 100%. Put them in Turf War and many of them would be getting red cards for bad plays (either by recklessness or not knowing the rules). It would be really funny to have Salmonids in Turf War though. I imagine one guy getting sniped multiple times and just fumming with anger because he lost.

I want playable Salmonids (probably not in turf war because they would have a disadvantage)

That one meme with my comfort characters

it's literally just my wife and a bunch of salmonids

i can't draw my wife

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!!
