can i point out that in the recent splatfest art for morning vs afternoon vs night that big man appears to be using a fin accessible mouse and this is a massive w for worldbuilding nerds

the rest of his equipment isn't really anything unusual my analysis of what the splatoon designers are thinking while Worldbuilding is that if there is an alternative tool that already exists and would make sense given to a fish-creature-guy, they will give it to that guy, but otherwise the designers won't go out of their way to create something new even if what we're left with doesn't make sense. (see: over ear headphones on inklings and octolings. look at their ear shape vs that, that shit dont make sense)

to be fair to anon they did advertise him like this

im not gonna lie NoE splatoon capn cuttlefish i might like better than NoA. some of the lines i like the american ver better because the british one will do a more literal but not as fun(?) line (see the "behind the wall" line above) but dude does feel like he should be saying jolly good. Speciifcally hes the kinda dude to me whos always like flippin heck but i have no idea if he says that at any point. also still funny to me "hell" counts as a swear stateside but not anywhere else #LetCapnCuttlefishSayHell2025

in my interpretation of agent 8, they are an autistic albeit very effective killer when they need to be. fighting comes to them like muscle memory. they are more accustomed to war than they are to social interaction. they feel as if the only thing that truly understands them on a level beyond superficial are the weapons they wield. their respect for these weapons runs so deep they get a job at ammo knights maintaining them. afterall it was those guns that saved their life. when presented with an opportunity to go out and have fun in the sun, even though it was all they dreamt of in the metro, they have a tendency to sink back into the darkness where their guns are. its the safest place they know. the only time they feel truly safe is with a gun in hand.
