coming out right now this is the entire reason i joined team present lmao

Time for the big finale!

We have found the brass player in Double Clickbait

Is there a new Salmonid band??

OMG THIS IS SO SWEET PLEASE I NEED MORE POSITIVE STORIES LIKE THIS COMING FROM THE GRIZZCO SIDE OF SPLATOON

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO SPLOON3 AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO NEO3!!!

(On the phone screen being shown to Neo3 is likely a leaked Grizzco document about how all the eggs had gone missing)

There is no way the platoon wont pull all the stops to make the day happy for their favorite salmon-raised shithead. Doesnt matter that they havent had proper sleep for the last 2 days.More deets below regarding the feat….

For years, things have been simmering below the surface of Grizzco. Upstarts in the ranks, dissatisfied workers, *vengeful* inkfish, salmonid sympathizers who infiltrated the system to find out how to help, much like the platoon.

Crack teams. Strike forces. secret unions.

There isnt a BIG number of them, and none of them really worked together like a well-oiled machine, but they all had the goal of tearing this damn corporation/mafia apart.

For a variety of reasons, really. For poor conditions or pay. For the deaths of their coworkers. To investigate the big runs in hopes of stopping more in the future. To steal the eggs and return them to sea.

The platoon pokes here and there, and does their own share of this backbreaking work. The second everyone got paid... these groups opened the floodgates. Theres a lot of em, grizzco cant get em all. (And the activities cant be tracked back to the platoon, unlike other times like the Cap4 saga.)

Nobody knew they were working alongside the legendary NSS.

----------

A pal of mine puts it best...

Imagine knowing your partner, sibling, best friend died and finding out it wasn't just them dying defending the places... they died cause some corporate fuck orchestrated the whole series of big runs.

And in the future, these groups catch wind of what the NSS knows. That the big runs were all Grizzco made. This drives most of the shills into a frenzy. Most of all the high-value volunteers who were only there for the grand run but was trapped by the corporation.

---------

Come a whole 24 hours after the grand run, Grizzco starts panicking.

because only 700 million eggs remained in their stores.

Thats what Neo3 gets for her birthday -- the fact that all the extra eggs were returned to the sea. It rejuvenates her to fight for the future, now that there IS a future to fight for.

More raids continued after, 3 putting her squarely in that leadership position for the NSS's strike force (now including 7 and the crew from the Cap4 arc!)

Eventually, only 500 mil remained. And then grizzco goes on lockdown and....well, lets just say they made some people disappear. None from the platoon's strike force, thankfully. Most were grizzco's own shills, up in the higher ranks. Blamed for the loss of the eggs *and* for not making the number back.

-----------

I wont say tgere werent any casualties on the upstarts, though. Some were caught and are in serious danger from the mafia, though none fell under the jurisdiction of the NSS. The fact is, the NSS wasnt aware of a lot of these cases due to how fractured all the upstarts are. (It allows the movement as a whole to not be immediately shut down after a few get caught, or something. So they say.)

(bonus pic without the caption!)

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

The term inkfish includes any species that has ink based bodies. This includes Inklings and Octolings, since their bodies are made of ink :>

hell yea fuck grizzco

(from @angelcake-spl!)

LETS FUCKING GOOOOO

Deep Cut is the only idols i can tolerate enough to give them praise. They have such a unique style compared to the pop of the other two groups, and it's something I could listen to on a regular basis. I hope that we get more Deep Cut in the future.

gg!! I had some good struggles against Team Future (Team Present btw!). Amazing work gang!!

honestly, seeing the splatfest results made me cry. not like a “woe is me my team lost” or a “wah wah im a bad sport” type crying, cause gg you do you, but I just cried for… like Deep Cut themselves. this is their debut game, where they were introduced and ment to be the main stars of, but in the finale of THEIR OWN GAME they’re overshadowed by the idols that have existed for longer than they have.

they didn’t get anything really special. other than being the primary boss fights in story mode and bare bones information about their clans, that’s it. other than dialogue during the news that you can easily skip. no dlc surrounding them, no sunken scrolls that go into their personal backgrounds, nothing.

and ON TOP of everything, one thing that made the splatfest headache inducing… was the tryhards. on all teams, ESPECIALLY past. the difficult power imbalance between me as a defender going against like ruler +20 is insane.

but, other than my previous complaint, i had fun. the music was amazing. the venue was beautiful. the tricolor stage itself was fun. seven wishes made me tear up. every team member on team future tried their best.

i could be salty and bash those on team past, but im not gonna.

congratulations, team past. and for those on team future and team present, we tried.
