Something I see way too much in critiques is black and white thinking when it comes to writing. Bad faith when it comes to inconsistencies especially when things are written by multiple people. See, the lore can be a little all over the place if a show lives too long, that's just one of the side effects. People can make mistakes which leads to characters making mistakes that should seem obvious in hindsight. That doesn't mean the writing is inherently bad. If something entertains you, it shouldn't matter. And I should be allowed to say that without being accused of ignoring bad writing. I can tell when something is written poorly, it's just that if the concept is interesting enough and it's appealing to see, I just don't care. In my eyes when it comes to creating characters or writing the rule of cool comes first. Make it interesting, then make it make sense. If you make it make sense before you make it interesting, you're just going to hit a roadblock

Sneak peek on a fic me and @alphomegamaster are writing. It's basically a spite fic and season 4 rewrite. This is the intro

If ya don't wanna read until the whole thing is out, we understand :D

Copper Canyon. A beautiful city bustling with life, bordering the seaside as well as the mountain range where it got its name. It was just the end of spring, and summer vacation had only just reared its head for all but a select few of Copper Canyon High’s students. For some, it was the start of their N-Tek boot camp. For others, they had to stay behind for summer school. But to those lucky seniors that managed to scrape by the school year without totally messing up their GPA, it meant freedom! Freedom of choosing between a college career or a gap, freedom to go celebrate with friends at parties in the middle of the desert! Freedom to just sit back, relax, and look up into the brilliant blue sky… as a living biohazard surfs a wave of toxic fumes across the city skyline.

“NYAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!” Toxzon laughed triumphantly as he held a climate controlled canister in his free hand “With this, My plan is one step closer to completion, and the sickness known as humanity WILL FINALLY BE CLENSED!!!”

Some would look up in horror as they saw a lunatic polluting the air with some mysterious container as he rants about mass genocide, and many did. But these days, it was mostly the tourists and fresh faces that reacted as if their lives were in danger. After all, it was easy to brush off the ramblings of eco-terrorists when they had their very own superhero.

A streak of brilliant blue exhaust quickly caught up to this festering cloud, sleek yet alien, with nodes of techno-organic circuitry exposed between pristine white armor plating. Though he had opted for an exposed faceplate a while back, it was hard to deny that you can’t beat the classics, especially when it came to the iconic helmet of the one, The only…

“Max Steel!” Toxzon yelled out as he saw his nemesis in pursuit, “Why must you always ruin my fun?!?!” He collected a wad of toxic mucus in his arm cannon and fired at the teenage protector, who quickly barrel rolled out of the way.

“Probably because your definition of fun means wiping out all humanity?” The cocky caidence of a no-longer-teenage boy emanates from the suit’s speakers.

“Maybe you should find a new hobby. You look like a knitter!” A more robotic voice followed up, the M on Max’s chest glowing in time with the Utralink’s speech.

Max McGrath, and N'Baro Aksteel X377. To their closest friends, they were known as Max and Steel. But to the rest of the world? They were Max Steel!

“Why does Toxzon even need STEM cells anyway?” Steel thought, while Max picked up on the musings thanks to their link. “They're used for replacing damaged tissue and curing diseases, not spreading them. This seems out of character for him,” Steel’s confusion makes Max curious as well.

“It does raise some questions, but come on, since when does Toxzon ever make sense? If he’s got it, it can’t be good. We can’t let him get away!” Max pushes more turbo energy into his thrusters when an alarm sounds. “Whoa what the?! Steel, what was that?”

“It’s a message from N-Tek, Emergency frequency.”

“More emergency than a madman made of toxic waste getting away with some mystery science goo?”

“MAX! STEEL!” Forge’s voice rang out through the duo’s comms, making Max reel and nearly fly into a nearby building at mach 1.

“That answer your question?” Steel asked, shaken by the yelling even more than Max.

Forge had an ever-serious look on his face through the screen on their HUD “This is a priority alert! We need you and steel to get back to N-Tek headquarters ASAP.”

Toxzon gave a nasally cackle as a bolt of glowing green sludge was fired at his pursuer, the tachoan quickly dodging, though it only missed him by a hair. “Kinda busy Uncle Ferrus! Whatever Toxon’s got planned-”

“Can be dealt with by the N-Tek forces downtown” Forge interrupted as a pair of jumpjets joined in the pursuit “They may be rookies, but our latest batch of cadets show more promise than any class we’ve had before.. NOW GET YOUR KEISTER OVER HERE!” He hung up after that, leaving the duo hovering in place as the jump jets engaged without them, seeming to have everything under control.

“Someone needs to switch to decaf.” Steel snickers a bit at his dig towards Forge, leaving Max shaking his head. “Whelp, if the boss says to move, guess we’d better move.”

“Wonder what’s got his circuits fried?” Max can only imagine what he’d be called in for in the middle of a fight, making a beeline for the canyon base.

I HAVE RECEIVED A VISION FROM THE GODS!!! SLOW BURN HUMAN PEARLINA FIC SET IN A DETECTIVES AU!!

Inkopolis was born out of a creative boom. Art, music, writing, all of it requiring gallons of ink to pen to paper. If you lived where they made the ink, you could get it fast and cheap for whatever you needed. They called it the New Renaissance, an era of free expression unlike any seen before. Though wherever there are people and money, there is always coin to be made in illicit activities.

The great turf war started out as a paintball game. Just a fun and friendly way to mark territory between young artists. All that ended quickly when someone pull it trigger, and it wasn't a paintball that came out of the barrel.

Crime and chaos reigned for years before eventually a sort of peace came into being. Inkopolis was split into two parts:

Greater Indianapolis is where the more high end citizens live, enjoying life under the protection of the inkopolis Police department, these days run by commissioner Octavio, having strong armed the system in place into enforcing total police reform. Although with it came a downside as it's weaker than it has ever been, with only the good cops and bad cops that were willing to change on the force, organized crime lately is that an all-time high, hiding in plain sight under the GrizzCo. Conglomerate. Of course, there are safe havens. Neutral zones where to fight is to sign your own death warrant, none moreso than the Squidbeak Spittoon owned by

The splatlands are named not only for what happens if you try to encroach on the turf of various gangs, But also for the chaotic, almost anachronistic art that covers every wall. But where they lack stability in terms of infrastructure, they more than make up for their shortcomings in their sense of community. Not every gang is made with the intention of seizing power and chaos like the cultish salmons. The Deep Cut syndicate works to establish their own kind of harmony, giving back to the people. If you work for them, people respect you for what you stand for.

Our story follows two ladies who just want to make the city a safer place

Pearl Houzuki is the daughter of a financial advisor and philanthropist, making sure money flows like a river through the city wherever he can make it. She always wanted to be a detective, but never had the patience or respect for the police academy. So she became a private eye, with a little financial assistance from her supportive father in the form of a rent-free office she could call her base of operations. She's the one to go to when money is tight and you need results. Missing people, stolen goods, sniffing out the truth, she's gained a bit of a reputation. Though with the amount of money she puts into building up an underground contact network, as well as how often she offers a steep discount (If not doing it straight up for free) she often has to ask her dad for more money just to keep herself from starving. Her weapons of choice are a pair of pistols that can switch between semi and full auto.

Marina Ina is the youngest and most promising detective in the Inkopolis police department. She's only been on the force for 3 years, and yet she's considered one of the best for delivering results while staying inside the lines of the law. She's taken down counterfeit rings, human trafficking, even corrupt officers on the inside are brought to justice with her work. Though just because she is dedicated to her work doesn't mean she is without her own passions. She does occasionally work on music outside of hours, as well as tinkering with her own gadgets and custom equipment. Like a shotgun with its own riot shield folding over it like an umbrella

Through circumstances bringing them together on the same case, Pearl and Marina navigate a city perpetually on the verge of all out war. Murder, mystery, shootouts, dancing, rivalry, love, all of this and more as they discover a deeper conspiracy throughout the heart of Inkopolis, maybe even the world.

Splatoon: blood and ink.

Coming soon... If I can ever find the motivation to write any of this.

Although I will definitely be writing character bios for the rest of the splatoon cast being adapted into this setting. And I do mean the rest of them.

[alphomegamaster]

I shall now describe the characters as they fit into this new setting by factions

Squidbeak Spittoon

A bar deep within the recesses of greater inkopolis, a place for anyone to grab a bite or get stitched up. They don't discriminate, just as long as you keep the peace.

Callie: waitress and entertainment. Service with a smile and plenty to show off. Just make sure you don't touch, lest you incur the wrath of security. Fights using a sledgehammer

Marie: bartender and occasional entertainment. She never forgets a face or a drink. Master of sleight of hand allows her to perform some pretty elaborate drink mixing. Prefers sniper rifles.

Three: cook and security. One woman army in the kitchen. Just try not to cause a scene or else you will answer to her. She can expertly make a paella while strangling you. Beast of a femme butch with more than a few scars, especially a burn mark over her eye. AR-15 enthusiast

Eight: a Jane Doe from when Marina busted a trafficking operation run by former surgeon and body modification artist Tartar. Works in the kitchen as well as occasionally busing tables. Tries to act tough when three is dealing with a rowdy customer, which only makes her more effective via cuteness aggression. Sweet, but definitely willing to kill to protect her found family. Uses one of three's old AR-15s

Cap'n Cuttlefish: former peacekeeper during the Great turf war. nowadays enjoys retirement running his restaurant and spending time with his granddaughters. Doesn't want them to live quite as dangerous a life as he used to, but still trains them to protect themselves. Can still use a slingshot with deadly accuracy

Inkopolis Police Department

Commissioner Octavio: former gang leader during the great turf war, now dedicated to upholding what little peace remains in the city. Managed to strong arm his way to the top so he could brutally enact police reform, firing or outright arresting corrupt, crooked, and dirty cops as well as holding the few that remained to be accountable. He succeeded, But the cost of the number of good cops plummeted. Now has a policy of quality over quantity, forced to pick and choose what crimes qualify arrests and jail time while they try to rebuild their numbers. Expresses his frustrations and rage at his situation through painting. Used to use a baseball bat, but does have a fascination with Gatling guns.

Detective Marina Ida: The youngest and most promising detective in the Inkopolis police department. She's only been on the force for 3 years, and yet she's considered one of the best for delivering results while staying inside the lines of the law. She's taken down counterfeit rings, human trafficking, even corrupt officers on the inside are brought to justice with her work. Though just because she is dedicated to her work doesn't mean she is without her own passions. She does occasionally work on music outside of hours, as well as tinkering with her own gadgets and custom equipment. Like a shotgun with its own riot shield folding over it like an umbrella.

Troopers: elite cops that protect and serve wherever they can, putting the safety of others as their main priority. Each one is held extremely accountable for their actions with very few exceptions if any at all.

Samurai: crooked cop gone straight, rides a Harley for police patrol. On the surface One might think he's a vainglorious loser That would throw anyone under the bus to save his hide. But when the chips are down, that's when he gets stuff done.

Mayor Judd: long running mayor that has been reelected over and over since his first term managed to bring an end to the great turf war. Despite his portly size, he is far from a fat cat, and uses whatever resources available to him to bring the city closer to peace.

Splatlands Pleasure house

Not quite deep enough in the splatlands to be considered part of dangerous territory exists a house where anyone can go in to enjoy the pleasurable company of the staff. Serves as the base of operations for the deep cut syndicate. Where other crime rings fight for power or control, they fight to give back to the community, taking back from the elite either willingly or by force.

Shiver: co-owner and co-hostex of the Splatlands Pleasure house, as well as one of the leaders of the deep cut syndicate. As kind and caring as they are cold and beautiful. A seductrix in every sense of the word, pleasing high paying clients with the house's policy of "loose lips sinks ships". Anything that happens in the pleasure house stays there, unless they say so. Nobody can agree what they have between their legs, But shiver loves hearing them bicker knowing the truth: They are all correct. Fights with a scrap bow and rebar arrows, opting for explosive tips If the situation calls for it. Their right hand is a plus sized dominatrix named Master Mega. They/them pronouns

Frye: co-owner and co-hostess, another leader of the deep cut syndicate. Lures customers with her musical skills, like she's a pied Piper. Loves to dance, especially when she's able to wring out big bucks from the elites. She makes sure all of their employees receive the proper care, pay, and treatment while dealing with customers. Uses a custom built chainsaw sword. Their right hand is a harem she calls the Eels

Big man: co-owner and dancer. Final leader of the deep cut syndicate. Built muscular and perfectly toned, enjoys working the crowd for anyone that's interested, loves the feeling of dollars raining up against him. Not so much a fan of being touched though. He is only for your viewing pleasure, unless you'd like to be taken to the back alley by the other hosts. A lover, not a fighter, but those muscles are not just for show when it comes to protecting his partners.

Neo Three and lil bud: repo man. He found lil bud while working a job in salmon territory, some kind of gremlin or experiment or whatever. All he knows is that nose has made his job of tracking people down and collecting on debts that much easier. If you've got a debt with the pleasure house or the deep cut syndicate, chances are you will end up meeting him. It's up to you whether or not you get to walk away from the interaction with your life. Uses a scrap built assault rifle.

Salmon gang

A cult like gang of delinquents of varying ages, shapes, and sizes. They believe chaos is the nature of all things, and they embrace it. They see death as honorable so long as it is in the pursuit of chaos. They do not have concrete bosses, only titles that are passed down as each one gives their all in order to fulfill their missions. When one dies, They are quickly replaced by another.

GrizzCo

A conglomerate of businesses run under a single name, almost everything from art supplies to power is controlled by a business under the GrizzCo name. Anything in the pursuit of profit, though it is often disguised as progress.

Mr. Grizz: CEO of the company and kingpin of greater inkopolis organized crime. Though the public eye often sees him as a philanthropist an entrepreneur, everything he does is just to make a buck.

Independant

Pearl Hausuki: daughter of a financial advisor and philanthropist, making sure money flows like a river through the city wherever he can make it. She always wanted to be a detective, but never had the patience or respect for the police academy. So she became a private eye, with a little financial assistance from her supportive father in the form of a rent-free office she could call her base of operations. She's the one to go to when money is tight and you need results. Missing people, stolen goods, sniffing out the truth, she's gained a bit of a reputation. Though with the amount of money she puts into building up an underground contact network, as well as how often she offers a steep discount (If not doing it straight up for free) she often has to ask her dad for more money just to keep herself from starving. Her weapons of choice are a pair of pistols that can switch between semi and full auto.

Four: small time thief and informant to law enforcement. Gets away with small time crimes like petty theft in exchange for providing details she's picked up about criminal activity. Uses an Uzi

Acht/Dedf1sh: underground DJ, former flame of Marina back when they were in the police academy. eventually dropped out realizing this was not what they wanted and took up making music. Also acts as Marina's informant. They/them pronouns.

More to follow, this took a while to write

Might fuck around and paper my town with these. Feel free to join me.

[c4bl3fl4m3]

Would you be willing to post the files for these so we can have the best quality copy for printing purposes?

[luulapants]

Here's a folder with the files! I couldn't get the last one to PDF correctly with the image, so it's still text.

[boopjuice]

Just a reminder from me (a military brat) and my parents (both military from military families): The most definitive way to know a recruiter is lying to you is to listen closely to what they're saying. If you hear sounds, they're lying.

[maeamian]

If you're in the US military or National Guard, and are given an illegal or unconstitutional order, the GI Rights hotline [phone]) is there to help give you the support you need to do the right thing by refusing it. It would be good to think about this now before it becomes a live issue for you and it would be smart of you to memorize that number.

[maeamian]

You can reblog this without your thoughts about the US Military, btw, that's allowed.

[helltothenaw]

In fact: you SHOULD share it without your thoughts on the US Military. If someone in the military sees this number and is considering it, they already know. Just let them see the resource.

[pragnificent]

This is Money Snake. She only appears every 312 years. 

If you reblog her picture within the next twenty-five seconds you will have good luck and fortune for the rest of your life. 

[thingsamylikes]

I reblogged her late last year and my 2024 has been very satisfying work-wise and (secure enough to not stress out) money-wise so far. Money Snake is wise and good.

[harostar]

Even if you don’t reblog, the Money Snek brings you good tidings!

[alphomegamaster]

I want a death note but instead of it being an actual notebook I want it to be a button where after watching a movie that was not very good I press it and every studio executive that made a decision to cut good ideas from said movie suffers a slow and agonizing death

[noah-wyles]

my place of work has just restricted and forbidden the use of AI tools and any use will treated as a security and policy breach

[raincitygirl76]

Like to charge, reblog to cast.

[alphomegamaster]

Genie girl that flirts with and teasingly grants the wishes of a mortal woman that is later revealed to be the reincarnation of the genie's lover from centuries ago

[alphomegamaster]

Or the Frankenstein version where a brilliant scientist brings her wife back from the dead, and in doing so makes her immortal with special eyes that allow her to recognize her lover's soul

[alphomegamaster]

I think it would be really cool if grimlock was just that guy. Built different, even among cybertronians. To the point where there is no overpowering him, there's no slowing him down, built old fashioned and indestructible. Obviously you could outsmart him, get him distracted, but if he's set on his goals even Megatron wouldn't stand a chance

Show them all why he's modeled after the goddamn Tyrannosaurus Rex

[ekingston]

sometimes i say things on twitter and then make a little graph about it

Hasbro: what should be do with power rangers?

Me, in the distance: animate it!

Hasbro: we can't just keep adapting Sentai...

Me, in the distance: animate it!

Hasbro: maybe we could try making it more original?

Me, angrily in the distance: Animate it!!!

Hasbro: oh! How about a reboot?

Me, angry: FUCKING ANIMATE IT!!!

The issue I have with Max steel after the maximum morphos movie is the fact that all of his turbo modes were very clearly designed to sell gimmick toys. They do One thing with a big bulky launcher that could easily be attached to any max steel action figure and they just go with that. Sure, the original modes were obviously meant to sell toys as well. But we give that a pass because they were really well made designs! They were clean, sleek, bulky when they needed to be but in a nice cool way. And deciding halfway through that Max is somehow creating a new power that makes it so him and steel are no longer able to stay together is literally destroying what made this show interesting in the first place.

[thenerdycupcake]

Exactly, Max and Steel having to stay together was practically the entire premise of the series!

[alphomegamaster]

I wanted to see more fusion modes! Imagine speed cannon mode allowing them to ball up like cannonbolt! Or maybe flight and speed letting him zip around like a hummingbird!
