The question has plagued the gaming community since... well okay not that long ago, but it was SPLATOON’s main marketing slogan! And in truth, Inklings are fascinating: bipedal childlike creatures one moment, blooper-like ink swimming cephalopods the next. But is it possible to ever truly know if Inklings are more Squid-like or more Kid-like? YES. Yes it is. And today I will prove to you that Inklings are ABSOLUTELY more one than the other! ---

POST SPLATOOON 3 EDIT: im glad there are some specific things i was right about in this video! for example, the whole thing with grizz's motivations and him being the big bad for splatoon 3, and how golden eggs are a more powerful source of energy (confirmed recently in the splatoon base website) with some other purpose we didnt know of (we now know its a component of fuzzy ooze) but THAT thing. im never gonna live this down, am i. i had some faith that the splatoon team wouldn't go with the most obvious, on the nose thing for their big bad they built up for 5 years. but like i said: nintendo game for kids, so yeah, they possibly would do something that straightforward.... and they did. welp. i am severely disappointed. not gonna go into detail here, but the bear thing leaves from frustrating plot holes that i feared would happen. my final hope/cope was that he was just bear shaped fuzzy ooze and underneath that was some other creature that had merely taken on the form of a bear, but then i finished the secret kettle and yeah. hopes dashed. i wouldn't say this video "aged like milk" since i never ruled out the bear idea and acknowledged my hopes are likely more grounded than whatever insane thing the splatoon team is planning... but i'll take the L.

To be honest I don't think this is my most cohesive video, but I hope you enjoy it anyways! I originally planned to create this video right after the iceberg, but once Splatoon 3 was announced, I tossed it to the side.

I joined this collab some time ago, and finally got around to finishing my part! 10 minutes to doom is my favorite among the unfinished episodes of invader zim, and dib is my favorite character, so i'm glad i was able to nab this scene. the last time i really tried to animate like this was probably when i was 13 and making shitty flipnotes. it was fun to take a jab at again, even though its kind of closer to a PMV rather than a "proper" animation.
animated in uh... paint tool sai and vegas. yeah. paint tool sai is *not* meant for animation. i didn't wanna learn new software.
people are still working on their parts for this collab, so it's not out yet. ill update the link below whenever that happens. youtube.com/watch?v=QuDIagH_J9cThanks for 8888 subs! + Some channel announcements/inforassicas2021-03-01 | just a quick message, thanks y'all!My thoughts on the Splatoon 3 Revealrassicas2021-02-19 | y'all asked for it.
emphasizing that this is VERY speculative, as in, i dont have a lot of faith in much of i've said in here. still, fun to speculate!
I honestly cant take credit for all the theories and ideas in here! big thanks to @monicracar bringing the "it's not Paris" speculation stuff to my attention and for providing a translation! twitter.com/monicracar
EDIT: Some important observations from the comments I'd like to address: 1. About the city in the background of the train scene, I simply assumed this was Splatsville, but man I would LOVE to be proven wrong about that! Some people are speculating that it's a city of order. I wanna keep my expectations low and being able to travel between 2 cities sound almost too good to be true, but what if...what if...
2. Some have mentioned that there's a pyramid in front of the Louvre and I'm gonna be honest, I straight up forgot the Louvre is a thing that exists. I never intended to rule out the possibility of this being far future France, but this info makes it more likely. Again, we'll have to just wait and see!
3. Yes, as a few have mentioned, the tentacles are dried, not grilled, but I doubt it's dried because they're in a desert! If that were the case, then all the tentacles would be dried out, no? Like the grilled tentacle concept, I think they're dried out just for the sake of style. Splatoon devs like to include seafood motifs in designs, and those dried tentacles look like surume.

verna is one of my splatoon OCs. he's a 30-something year old inkling who "manages" grizzco. https://toyhou.se/4218163.verna-rassica/gallery
EDIT: thanks for all the kind words! for reference, despite how i may sound i am not a girl, so if you're going to refer to me in third person, please use they/them pronouns. thank you!
EDIT (again): SPLATOON 3! Also damn this is blowing up I don't think there will be iceberg-worthy material for the new game until a while after it comes out. If I added splatoon 3 theories now, THAT would age poorly. just sayin.

The mystery of Marie's pet at 13:34 has been solved, and it turns out there's a rare piece of concept art that confirms that it's an evolved scallop! You can check out the post here.

Settling what the Gen in Gen 83 is short for! (20:56) A few people suggested "General" which makes sense in a military context, but I ruled this out because the messages talk about her being in training to be a combat engineer. For some reason I never thought to check what Gen 83 is in Japanese, and it's 第83期. 期 means a period of time, so yes, generation. Still cryptic as hell though!
I *know* Pearl is 21. I translated chunks of the second artbook too. I deliberately left her out for the sake of showing more obscure examples. Also when I've seen people question adult inklings, they generally mean ones who are old enough to be the parents of the playable Inklings.
